First, he asked about the rank of the official position bestowed by the emperor in person, and then he casually played with the emperor's belongings. Fan Xian's behavior scared Eunuch Hou so much that he almost wet his pants.

Emperor Qing narrowed his eyes, suppressing his anger. If this kid weren't his son, he would have beaten him to death for the crime of disrespect.

Fan Xian was playing with his bow and arrow when Emperor Qing suddenly asked, "How did Lin Gong die?"

Fan Xian was prepared and immediately replied, "Your Majesty, I really don't know!"

Emperor Qing gave Fan Xian no chance to catch his breath, speaking rapidly, "However, you are the only one in the capital with a reason to kill him!"

Fan Xian reacted quickly, "I have no grudge against the Second Young Master. He doesn't want Princess Yichen to marry me, so for that reason... I have no reason to kill him!"

Emperor Qing seemed not to hear him and continued, "Lin Gong died at your hands, so forget about your arranged marriage with Wan'er. Don't force it."

When Fan Xian made up his mind to assassinate Lin Gong, he was already prepared to give up the arranged marriage.

Just as he was about to say, "That's all we can do," he noticed that Emperor Qing's ruthless gaze was fixed on him!

Fan Xian instantly realized that if he said that, it would be tantamount to admitting that he had killed Lin Gong.

Emperor Qing's words were full of traps!

A cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back, and Fan Xian quickly said, "Lin Gong's death has nothing to do with me, so why change the proposal for the arranged marriage?"

Emperor Qing suddenly laughed, "You're quick to react. Of course, your marriage to Wan'er will not change. I was just saying it casually."

After leaving the palace, Fan Xian went to the Prime Minister's residence.

Going there will definitely cause trouble, but not going will only make me seem guilty.

Lin Ruofu's face remained gloomy the first time he met Fan Xian.

With the reminder from Li Chang'an's note, and combined with Lin Ruofu's own judgment, he was convinced that the one who killed Lin Gong was a master from Fan Xian's side!

After Fan Xian met with Lin Ruofu, Lin Ruofu began to talk to himself.

“My eldest son, you just saw him in the yard. He was seriously ill when he was young and now he has the mind of a child.”

“My daughter also contracted tuberculosis when she was young. Although she miraculously recovered, she will always be a royal princess and will never be able to be recognized as part of the royal family.”

"All the expectations of the Lin family for the future, and the pressure of the Lin family's succession, rest on Gong'er's shoulders."

Fan Xian sensed that the atmosphere between the two was somewhat strange, and also felt that Lin Ruofu's condition was not quite normal.

Because Lin Ruofu seemed not to see Fan Xian, he kept talking to himself.

“After entering officialdom, I experienced three rises and three falls, and even when I was imprisoned, I never despaired.”

Even with over a hundred skilled guards protecting her, Gong'er was still murdered last night!

"Fan Xian, you and Wan'er are engaged. If you can get married smoothly, the Lin family's business and connections will be handed over to you, and Benxiang will naturally do his best to help you in your career."

Although he knew that his engagement with Lin Wan'er was basically off, and that Lin Wan'er would never agree to it no matter what.

However, in order to continue covering for Wu Zhu, Fan Xian had to pretend that he was unaware of Lin Gong's assassination plot.

Fan Xian cupped his hands and said, "Prime Minister, I haven't thought about any of that. I just like Wan'er as a person, and it has nothing to do with her status."

When Fan Xian looked up, he found that Lin Ruofu had already walked up to him, his eyes filled with murderous intent!

"Fan Xian, the assassination attempt on Niulan Street... was carried out by Gong'er."

Fan Xian once again displayed his acting prowess, his eyes revealing shock and fear.

"How could it be the Second Young Master! Could it be... that the Prime Minister wants to kill me!"

Lin Ruofu was almost face to face with Fan Xian, his eyes flashing with fierce light, and his voice suddenly rose.

"That's right! It is I who want to kill you!"

Fan Xian was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly, "I don't know where I offended the Prime Minister, and why does the Prime Minister want to kill me!"

Lin Ruofu suddenly reached out and grabbed Fan Xian's neck!

The whole process was too sudden, and the two were so close that Fan Xian was caught off guard and Lin Ruofu grabbed his neck tightly!

Lin Ruofu completely lost his gentle and refined civil official image, and became violent and crazy!

He stared intently into Fan Xian's eyes, cursing and shouting, almost roaring and screaming!

"Fan Xian!"

"You killed my son! And you tried to harm my daughter!"

"You killed the heir of my Lin family, and you still want me to promote you in your official career, and you also want to inherit the Lin family's business and connections as my son-in-law!"

"Fan Xian! You acted very well, but how could you possibly deceive the truth!"

"You are so despicable! Do you want to devour the Lin family's last remaining members?!"

Fan Xian was pinned against the wall by the neck of the crazed Lin Ruofu.

"Fan Xian, don't you have a Grandmaster by your side? I'm going to kill you now, why hasn't he shown himself yet!"

Fearing that Wu Zhu, who was hiding in the shadows, might actually believe it, Fan Xian immediately unleashed his domineering true energy and easily pried Lin Ruofu's hand off.

However, Lin Ruofu was too crazy, and Fan Xian's face turned red from being pinched, and deep bloodstains were left on his neck!

"Cough cough cough! Your Excellency! What's wrong with you, Your Excellency!"

"I don't understand a word you're saying. How could I possibly kill the Second Young Master!"

"How could I possibly have a Grandmaster by my side? If I did have a Grandmaster by my side, how could I have almost died on Niulan Street!"

Lin Ruofu stared coldly at Fan Xian, then pointed to the door and said in a cold voice, "Get out!"

"Get out of the Lin residence! With me, Lin Ruofu, here, there is no way Wan'er will ever marry you!"

Even if my Lin family line truly ends, I will not let you, my enemy, benefit from it!

"Either you kill this old man right now, or get out of the Lin family mansion!"

The commotion caused by Fan Xian and Lin Ruofu spread throughout the entire Lin family mansion and then throughout the capital city.

Li Chang'an also received this news at Prince Yong's residence.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Fan Xian's father, the prime minister, is completely gone."

In the original drama, Lin Ruofu guessed that there was a grandmaster-level expert by Fan Xian's side without any clear evidence.

Moreover, the situation is now even more obvious. Lin Ruofu has been an official all his life, so how could he be fooled by Fan Xian?

In the original drama, Fan Xian is known as having six fathers: his biological father Emperor Qing, his adoptive father Fan Jian, his godfather Chen Pingping, his master Fei Jie, his uncle Wu Zhu, and his father-in-law Lin Ruofu.

His six fathers shielded him from many troubles, enabling him to eventually become the most powerful minister in Daqing, able to influence the court and the world.

But in fact, in his final battle with Emperor Qing, Emperor Qing did not lose.

It was Emperor Qing himself who tried to remove Wu Zhu's blindfold, only to be instantly killed by the laser eyes, which allowed Fan Xian to have the last laugh.

Jingni continued, "Your Highness, Chen Pingping has returned to the capital, just in time for the Crown Prince's forced entry into the Supervisory Council."

In the original drama, the Crown Prince insisted on storming the Surveillance Bureau to guarantee Si Lili's life as the heir apparent, so that she would reveal the truth that Fan Xian already knew Lin Gong was the mastermind.

At that time, neither Zhu Ge nor Yan Ruohai could stop the Crown Prince. Fortunately, Chen Pingping arrived in time and used a little trick to stop the Crown Prince.

"Was it Chen Pingping who blocked the Crown Prince?"

Jing Ni smiled knowingly, "No, Chen Pingping stayed two streets outside the Supervisory Council and never came out to stop us."

"Because Fan Xian returned in time, he ordered everyone to make way for the Crown Prince, but the Crown Prince himself hesitated..."

Li Chang'an suddenly realized the crux of the matter: "Hua Kui Ruowei knew nothing about Lin Gong, so Fan Xian wasn't afraid that the Crown Prince would break into the Supervisory Council to see her."

"Fan Xian wasn't afraid of the Crown Prince finding Ruowei at all, but the prince entering the Supervisory Council was a provocation against Emperor Qing, so it's normal for the Crown Prince to back down."

In retrospect, Si Gu Jian should still bear the blame for Lin Gong's death.

Chapter 89 Lin Wan'er: I swear to kill Fan Xian!

into the night.

When Fan Xian returned to the mansion, Wu Zhu immediately noticed the scratch marks on Fan Xian's neck.

"Fan Xian, you're injured again. Who did this?"

Fan Xian waved his hand and said, "It wasn't an assassination attempt. I was scratched by Lin Ruofu when he went crazy."

Wu Zhu habitually said, "If he wants to kill you, then I'll go kill him!"

"Before Lin Gong died, I asked him, and he said that it was Li Yunrui who instructed him."

"Lin Ruofu and Li Yunrui, I'm going to kill them!"

Upon hearing that it was Li Yunrui who was truly after him, Fan Xian instantly connected all the clues.

Li Yunrui ruined his reputation, obstructed the arranged marriage, and even attempted assassination, all in an effort to prevent the control of the Imperial Treasury from falling into other hands.

"Uncle, we can't kill these two people; they're too high-ranking."

“If you kill them, it will have a huge impact on the Qing Kingdom. The Grandmaster in the palace might even get involved.”

Wu Zhu nodded and said, "Okay, as long as they stop trying to assassinate you, I won't kill them."

The assassination attempt on Niulan Street has now come to a temporary end.

The Crown Prince claimed that Lin Gong had told him that the assassination in Niulan Street was all planned by Lin Gong, and he was shouting everywhere that he wanted to find the murderer and avenge Lin Gong.
