Chapter 532 Joy of Life 88
Chen Pingping completely understood Fan Xian's feelings at this moment, after all, he was just as shocked when he first learned about this matter.
He considerately gave the other party time to process the situation, and only after Fan Xian's emotions had calmed down a bit did he slowly say, "His Majesty has not punished the Crown Prince and the Eldest Princess yet, but he just wants to find a good excuse. After all, given his prideful nature, he would never allow such a royal scandal to spread and tarnish the royal honor."
"So you don't need to worry. It won't be long before His Majesty takes action."
At this point, Chen Pingping changed the subject and said to Fan Xian with a sigh, "Moreover, your most urgent task should be to find a way to get Fan Jian out of the capital as soon as possible. Only in this way can we save his life."
Fan Xian understood his meaning and nodded solemnly.
He had a premonition about this. After returning to Beijing and learning about everything that had happened to the Fan family, he had already begun to consider how to send Fan Jian back to his hometown in Danzhou.
However, having just returned to Kyoto, these matters still require some preparation before they can be put into action.
Finally, Fan Xian inquired about Wang Qinian's condition.
Chen Pingping remained calm and simply replied, "The Control Yuan will take good care of his wife and daughters."
The implication is that Wang Qinian is dead.
Fan Xian closed his eyes and left the Overwatch Council with heavy steps.
He looked up at the drifting clouds on the horizon, feeling a sense of bewilderment.
Fan Xian considers himself just an ordinary person with no great ambitions. His biggest dream is to use the knowledge he gained in the modern world to make lots and lots of money, then have beautiful wives and concubines and live a carefree life.
However, since arriving in Kyoto, one thing after another has happened, each one like a storm that has swept him and those around him into its midst, leaving him no peace whatsoever.
He was like a clown on stage, suddenly pushed by fate onto a stage that didn't belong to him, far beyond what he could accept, and forced to shoulder responsibilities and pressures he never thought he would face.
"Fan Xian..."
A clear, melodious voice came from behind him, a voice with an indescribable charm, like a gentle breeze that instantly dispelled the sadness in Fan Xian's heart.
Fan Xian thought the voice was extremely pleasant and immediately turned around to look for its source.
However, just as he turned around, he unexpectedly bumped into a pair of eyes that glowed with a faint purple light.
In an instant, he froze on the spot as if under a spell, his mind uncontrollably replaying every detail of his time in Northern Qi.
It seemed like a long time had passed, but in reality, only a moment had gone by.
"Huh? Nobody's here. Did I just hear wrong?"
Fan Xian looked at the empty alley behind him, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
He clearly heard someone call him before he turned around, so how could there be no one there?
"Could it be that I'm too tired and hallucinating?" Fan Xian murmured softly, his tone tinged with uncertainty.
He rubbed his throbbing temples, trying to convince himself that perhaps the recent days of running around and worry had made him a little dazed.
Fan Xian shook his head and left with heavy steps.
Shortly after he left the alley, a figure quietly appeared from the corner of the wall.
The newcomer was dressed simply, with a handsome face and deep eyes. He was gazing in the direction Fan Xian had gone, and the corners of his lips were slightly upturned—it was Li Chengze.
"Luckily I hid in time, otherwise he would have found me."
Li Chengze smiled, then turned and disappeared into the depths of the alley, as if he had never been there.
"I thought that after so many years of planning, Emperor Qing and Chen Pingping would be planning something earth-shattering, but I never expected that this would be the result."
When people are at their most speechless, they will still laugh.
The thought that Emperor Qing had schemed for so many years, only to receive a single sentence from Sean: "The temple is in the far north," felt utterly absurd.
Emperor Qing wanted to know about the temple, but only Sean and Ku He had ever been there.
Needless to say, Ku He, as a Grandmaster and the National Preceptor of Northern Qi, would never leak such important information to Emperor Qing.
Therefore, Emperor Qing set his sights on Xiao En.
In order to extract information about the temple from Xiao En, he and Chen Pingping secretly plotted for more than ten years, successfully making Xiao En mistakenly believe that Fan Xian was his grandson. Before his death, Xiao En told Fan Xian all the information he knew about the temple.
Sean spoke with great conviction, but in reality, he and Kuhe didn't even get inside the temple back then.
He knew nothing about what the temple looked like or how many people were inside.
He was even somewhat vague about the exact location of the temple, only saying that it was in the far north.
Li Chengze felt disappointed for Emperor Qing, who had meticulously planned for so many years, only to end up with such a vague and unclear result.
Li Chengze also wanted to know the whereabouts of the temple, but his mindset was much more peaceful than that of Emperor Qing.
After all, he already knew that the temple messengers were nothing more than robots, and the so-called temple was just a relic left by the previous civilization.
The unknown often brings fear, but once the truth is revealed, it seems nothing so terrible.
The temple that stood high in the sky, guarding this land, and was full of mythical charm, had already shed its mysterious veil before Li Chengze's eyes.
In addition, he had carefully 'dissected' the temple messenger and found that some of the electrical components inside the body were already quite old.
It is obvious that after hundreds of thousands of years of consumption, the temple's resources have long been depleted, and there should be very few temple messengers left.
The fact that the temple has not sent a second group of people to kill him after such a long time further confirms his suspicions.
This relieved Li Chengze; without the temple's constraints, his career could proceed more smoothly.
However, he suddenly remembered something else.
In the previous war between the two countries, the Qing Kingdom won a great victory. During the post-war negotiations, it should have been in a favorable position. However, due to the exposure of its spies in Northern Qi, it lost the initiative and had no choice but to send Xiao En back to Northern Qi.
Now it seems that this matter was also within Emperor Qing's plan.
"No wonder Emperor Qing didn't punish Li Yunrui for such a serious matter as colluding with an enemy country and revealing the identity of a Qing Kingdom spy. So that's how it is."
"Chen Pingping's plan also succeeded. Not only did it let Fan Xian know about his background, but it also gave him an extra lifeline. If Emperor Qing still wanted to know about the temple, he would definitely not touch Fan Xian."
