Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 71: Yan Xiaoyi sold a favor to Liu Hong, and the Minister of Rites fell

Liu Hong and Fan Ruoruo were alone in a room, and as Fan Xian had expected, a slightly ambiguous atmosphere arose.

Fan Ruoruo pinched her fingers gently, feeling a little nervous.

Although she knew that Liu Hong wouldn't be able to stay in the room for long, Fan Ruoruo's heart was still pounding.

"Ruoruo, don't you have anything to say to me?"

After a while, Liu Hong looked disappointed and opened the door to leave.

Place your palm lightly on the door.

Fan Ruoruo had just breathed a sigh of relief, but when she heard Liu Hong's words, she suddenly became nervous again.

After thinking for a long time, he slowly spoke.

"Thanks……"

Liu Hong smiled and didn't say much, but the disappointment in his eyes became more intense.

After all, I am not the protagonist of the world of Joy of Life, so why do I think the whole world should revolve around me?

The eldest princess took a fancy to him only because he was useful.

The last bit of good impression I had for Fan Ruoruo disappeared without a trace.

Fan Ruoruo is a good girl, but only to Fan Xian.

After opening the door, Liu Hong walked to the center of Fan Xian's yard, looking at the starry sky, and was a little dazed for a moment.

Fan Jian had been around Fan Xian's yard. When he saw Liu Hong coming out, he nodded slightly, then turned and left.

With his skills above the eighth rank, ordinary people would not be able to detect him unless they were ninth rank masters.

A sleepless night passed slowly, and Fan Xian was discovered eavesdropping on the conversation between the princess and Zhuang Mohan.

The entire palace became solemn. A thief actually sneaked into the airtight palace.

What if the assassin was Emperor Qing?
Yan Xiaoyi led a large number of imperial guards and took over the defense of Kyoto.

The most important of these is the Fan family. Yan Xiaoyi personally led the imperial guards and approached the gate of the Fan family.

Fan Jian knew what happened last night. He hid in the study, holding official documents in his hands, his eyes flickering.

I hope Liu Hong can stop Yan Xiaoyi! Otherwise, I can only send out the Tiger Guards to stop him, which is equivalent to confessing without fighting.

"What should I do, Liu Hong!"

Fan Ruoruo looked anxious and opened Fan Xian's door in a hurry.

Liu Hong was unsure, as he had only met Yan Xiaoyi once, and this guy might not give him face.

During the conversation, the door opened.

A large number of imperial guards surrounded Fan Xian's courtyard. It seemed that no one could get in.

But they forgot that this was the Fan family! Fan Xian was much more familiar with them than they were.

Yan Xiaoyi's eyes narrowed when he saw Liu Hong was also here.

"Liu Hong? Why are you here? I am under the order of the Princess to search for the thieves who broke into the palace at night. Are you sure you want to stop me?"

"How dare I? I will naturally follow the orders of the eldest princess."

Liu Hong had a fake smile on his face and changed the subject.

"But this is the residence of Si Nan Bo'e, a close confidant of His Majesty. If there are thieves here, then where else in Kyoto is safe?"

Yan Xiaoyi was a little unhappy with Liu Hong's obstruction and moved his ears slightly.

There was no breathing sound in Fan Xian's room. His guess was correct. It was Fan Xian who eavesdropped on the eldest princess' conversation yesterday.

Yan Xiaoyi strode towards Fan Xian's door.

He is the commander of the second-rank imperial guards, a ninth-rank master, and the best marksman in the world.

Who among those present dares to stop him? Who can stop him?
Fan Ruoruo closed her eyes, made up her mind, and stood at the door of Fan Xian's room, determined not to let Yan Xiaoyi in.

"Leave it to me! You are not cut out for this."

Liu Hong's smile was as warm as spring breeze and his tone was gentle.

It was just that Fan Ruoruo intuitively felt that Liu Hong was a little more distant from her today.

"Commander Yan, if I don't let you in, will you go in?"

Liu Hong placed his palm lightly on the knife at his waist.

Fan Ruoruo's face showed a touch of emotion. She didn't expect that Liu Hong would actually fight Yan Xiaoyi for her. Little did she know that Liu Hong and Yan Xiaoyi exchanged glances.

Yan Xiaoyi's eyes flickered slightly, and he was ready not to give face to Liu Hong, a third-rank minister. He was about to take a step, but stopped.

"I naturally believe Minister Liu's assurance, but you'd better explain today's incident to Her Royal Highness the Princess! She has always treated you as her son-in-law."

Damn! Yan Xiaoyi has no good intentions either.

I heard breathing sounds again in the room, and the breathing was steady, obviously without any serious injuries.

Just leave it to Liu Hong and Fan Xian to dig a hole.

Fan Ruoruo gently shook her lips and looked at Liu Hong's back.

The eldest princess treats Liu Hong as her son-in-law. Does she want to marry her sister-in-law to Liu Hong?
No! Absolutely not. This is my brother's. I would do anything even if the engagement has to be fulfilled ahead of time.

After Yan Xiaoyi left with the imperial guards.

Liu Hong patted Fan Ruoruo's shoulder and rubbed his aching temple.

"Given Yan Xiaoyi's proud character, he will definitely not come back. I will deal with the Ministry of War first."

This time Fan Ruoruo didn't say much and just accepted it silently.

It's a bit ridiculous! No matter how many times Liu Hong showed his goodwill to Fan Ruoruo, Fan Xian.

Fan Ruoruo had always been reluctant to fulfill her engagement with Liu Hong. However, after knowing that the eldest princess regarded Liu Hong as her son-in-law, she wanted to hold the wedding as soon as possible.

This behavior seems contradictory, but if you know that Fan Ruoruo is an extreme brother-con, you will understand.

There was silence inside Fan Xian's room, and it seemed that there was no disturbance caused by Yan Xiaoyi's words.

But hearing that Liu Hong left without even a word of thanks was enough to prove how turbulent Fan Xian's heart was.

"Ruoruo, come in!"

Fan Xian's weak voice came from outside the door.

Fan Ruoruo opened the door in surprise.

But he saw Fan Xian spit a mouthful of blood into the vase.

Fan Xian had been hit by an arrow shot by Yan Xiaoyi, and even with the key as powerful as a black iron meteorite blocking his attack, he still suffered some internal injuries.

Now hearing this news, Fan Xian was so uneasy that he could no longer control himself and a sweet taste gushed out of his throat.

When Fan Ruoruo saw Fan Xian's sad face, her heart ached and she made up her mind to tell her father to fulfill the engagement in advance.

No one should be allowed to disturb the happiness of my brother and sister-in-law.

Liu Hong brought officials from the Ministry of War to contact the city defense forces, the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Revenue.

In response to the order personally issued by Emperor Qing, Shangshu Guo You was imprisoned and his property was confiscated!
Liu Hong took the imperial edict, hurriedly gave a few instructions to the officials of various departments, and rushed to the Shangshu's residence with his personal guards.

Give Guo Youzhi the last bit of dignity.

"Sir, didn't you spend the night at Fan's house? Why do you look so tired and even a little unhappy?"

Yang Du saw that Liu Hong's face looked a little pale and made a joke.

Liu Hong glanced at Yang Du speechlessly and kicked the horse away.

"Get lost, you're always thinking about dirty things! Tell the thugs to monitor the entire Guo family and don't let anyone go."

Yang Du is full of confidence.

"Don't worry, sir! Nothing will go wrong."

The Guo family, which was once full of guests, is now deserted.

The servant who usually showed off his might was now trembling in fear, welcoming the end of the Guo family.

Many scholars who once depended on the Guo family scattered and prepared to join other bigwigs.

He Zongwei had a dishevelled look on his face. He stared at the Guo family's door with his fists clenched tightly.

He and Guo Baokun are close friends, and the Shangshu also thinks highly of him.

But now everything is gone, all because of Fan Xian.

He Zongwei's life became uncertain from then on.

As he turned around and prepared to leave, the hooligans from Kyoto who usually flirted with other people surrounded him with bad intentions.
