Chapter 58 Divine Weapon
Emperor Qing was grateful for Li Chengze’s reminder, after all, it allowed him to survive Barrett’s gun.
However, Emperor Qing was naturally suspicious, and because of the close relationship between Li Chengze and Fan Xian, he did not fully believe Li Chengze's words, so he specially summoned the eldest prince Li Chengru to confirm the situation.
Unexpectedly, what Li Chengru said not only confirmed what Li Chengze said, but also revealed that Fan Xian's first concern after waking up was the safety of Emperor Qing.
This made Emperor Qing feel a warm current in his heart, and he felt a little guilty, because he had suspected Fan Xian and even sought information from Li Chengze and Li Chengru many times.
"So Fan Xian is so loyal to me."
Emperor Qing said with emotion and nodded.
"Indeed." The eldest prince Li Chengru responded, affirming Fan Xian's loyalty.
Fan Xian heroically protected him when he was assassinated. Although he failed to pursue the assassin, Emperor Qing personally ordered it. Facing Si Gu Jian's younger brother, Fan Xian's failure was understandable. He was seriously injured and lost all his vitality. His loyalty was touching.
"Okay, you go down, your performance is worthy of praise." After Emperor Qing learned about the situation, he expressed his appreciation for Li Chengru.
At the same time, the eldest princess Li Yunrui also learned that Fan Xian was seriously injured.
"Oh? In order to chase the assassin, Fan Xian was not only seriously injured, but also lost all his energy?" An uncontrollable smile appeared on Li Yunrui's lips.
Fan Xian is Ye Qingmei's son, and may even be Emperor Qing's illegitimate son. Although this relationship has not been made public, Emperor Qing knows it.
Ye Qingmei is the woman that Emperor Qing loves deeply, so Emperor Qing has a special preference and guilt for Fan Xian.
This time Fan Xian was seriously injured while chasing the assassin. Even Emperor Qing, whose heart was as stone as stone, would inevitably be moved.
Li Yunrui knew Emperor Qing well and knew that Emperor Qing was still a person with feelings without touching his own interests and power.
Therefore, Emperor Qing's love and compensation for Fan Xian will be even greater.
When Li Yunrui thought of Emperor Qing doting on Ye Qingmei's son, he couldn't calm down.
"This is a truly unique opportunity."
Li Yunrui secretly thought that even though she knew Emperor Qing would be furious if Fan Xian was killed, her resentment made her desperate.
Ye Qingmei's son must be eliminated, no matter the cost.
Within the capital, an assassination incident occurred in the Hanging Ancient Temple, shaking the foundation of the imperial city like thunder. Emperor Qing was seriously injured, and the eldest prince resolutely took on the important task of peripheral defense.
At the same time, Fan Xian's injury also affected people's hearts. Fortunately, Li Chengze never left him and took good care of him.
A few days passed quickly, and Emperor Qing and Fan Xian were resting in the Hanging Temple. The ripples of this assassination incident had already stirred up waves in and outside the capital, becoming the focus of heated discussions on the streets.
On the one hand, the news that Emperor Qing was attacked was like a bolt from the blue, unbelievable;
On the other hand, an even more shocking secret surfaced - Emperor Qing was actually the hidden great master.
For a long time, it has been rumored that there are dragons and crouching tigers hidden in the palace, and the name of the great master is often associated with Hong Sixiang. Now the truth has been revealed. It turns out that the legendary strong man is none other than Emperor Qing himself.
This news spread like wildfire across the Kyoto and even Qing Dynasty, causing people to talk and marvel.
As for distant countries and foreign lands, there has not been a big uproar yet, because it will take time for the news to spread across thousands of mountains and rivers to the other side.
In the Kyoto Overwatch Council, a spy in black robe stood solemnly in front of Chen Pingping, retelling the whole story of the Hanging Temple incident in detail.
Hearing that Fan Xian was seriously injured, Chen Pingping couldn't help but frown, her worry palpable.
However, what makes the situation even more complicated is that the true energy in Fan Xian's body unexpectedly lost control at this moment. This was not the fault of Shadow, but actually his helplessness when his life was hanging by a thread.
Chen Pingping had mixed feelings in her heart. She was worried about Fan Xian's safety and worried about Emperor Qing's serious injury.
"The arrow accurately hit His Majesty from hundreds of feet away. Is it difficult for even the Grand Master to be completely unharmed?"
Chen Pingping asked in a deep voice, her words revealing her shock at that incredible blow.
"Could it be caused by the magic weapon given by the young lady?"
He asked further, his tone containing both curiosity about the unknown power and awe for the power of the weapon. Chen Pingping was thinking secretly in her heart, and her thoughts were racing. In the past, Ye Qingmei used Barrett's power to snipe and kill two powerful enemies on the way to Emperor Qing's accession to the throne.
This scene not only left an indelible shadow in Emperor Qing's heart, but was also deeply engraved in Chen Pingping's memory. among.
At this moment, he couldn't help but wonder, could it be that someone really used the amazing magic weapon left by the young lady to launch a fatal blow to His Majesty?
Fan Xian? This idea quietly emerged in his mind and became more and more determined.
Unlike Emperor Qing who only made guesses, Chen Pingping was convinced that Fan Xian had done this.
Why? Just because Emperor Qing knew nothing about Barrett's existence and had been secretly searching for years to no avail.
Naturally, Fan Xian can only be regarded as the primary suspect.
As for Chen Pingping, he knew that Fan Xian had this magic weapon, and he also knew that Fan Xian had discovered the real culprit who killed his mother - Emperor Qing.
"Alas, even the Barrett left behind by the young lady can't completely kill the Grand Master?"
Chen Pingping sighed secretly in her heart, and her thoughts turned to another relic - the shotgun hidden in the wheelchair.
For many years, he has not used these magical weapons to seek revenge, only because he has doubts about whether they can shake the Grand Master.
Now, the answer seems to be clear: it can hurt but not fatal.
"Your Majesty will be suspicious of Fan Xian, and I need to try to cover him up."
Chen Pingping decided secretly, and then reflected on herself,
"How can this child act so impulsively?"
But soon, he denied his judgment,
"No, Fan Xian is by no means a reckless person. There must be a deep meaning behind his actions."
Thinking of this, Chen Pingping frowned, and her heart was filled with speculation and confusion about Fan Xian's true intention.
At first, I suspected that Fan Xian's actions were just impulsive and wanted to avenge his mother, but after careful consideration, I realized that Fan Xian was not a rash person.
So, what kind of thoughtfulness is hidden behind his action?
The camera turns to Fan Mansion in Kyoto, where the atmosphere is tense and worrying. Liu Ruyu eagerly held Fan Jian's hand,
Her series of questions revealed her deep concern for Fan Xian's safety.
Although there were some disputes between the two, over time, every bit of their life together has made them an inseparable family.
At the wedding, Fan Xian insisted that Liu Ruyu accept the courtesy as the mistress. This respect and acceptance deeply touched her heart.
Therefore, when she learned about the assassination in Xuankong Temple and Fan Xian's serious injury, she was filled with worry.
"Master, how is Fan Xian's injury?" Liu Ruyu's voice trembled.
Fan Jian's face was solemn, but he tried his best to comfort him: "Fortunately, the injury has stabilized and it is not life-threatening at the moment."
"How could this happen?
Since Fan Xian is injured, why are you here?" Liu Ruyu's question contained a bit of confusion.
"Oh, by the way, the ministers from the DPRK and China have returned. They still need to deal with important national affairs, so I naturally need to come back." Fan Jian explained.
"No, I still want to go to Xuankong Temple and take care of Fan Xian personally!" Liu Ruyu's heart could not calm down. Even if she learned that Fan Xian's life was not in danger, she still wanted to see with her own eyes and take care of him with her own hands.
Seeing Liu Ruyu like this, Fan Jian comforted him again: "Don't worry, Wan'er and Ruoruo are by his side, they will take good care of Fan Xian, and he will recover soon.
When his condition improves, he will naturally go down the mountain and go home. "
After listening to Fan Jian's words, although Liu Ruyu still felt a little reluctant, she knew that at this time she should trust those who also cared about Fan Xian.
So, she nodded, silently praying that Fan Xian would recover soon and return safely.
