The news that Lin Gong planned the assassination attempt on Niulan Street has gradually become public knowledge.

Fan Xian knew that with such a grudge between them, his arranged marriage with Princess Yichen was basically out of the question.

"Uncle Wuzhu, I want to go back to Danzhou after I get what my mother left me!"

"The struggle in Kyoto is too dangerous; one wrong move and you'll be caught up in it."

Wu Zhu said, "The key to the box should be in Taiping Villa or in the hands of the Empress Dowager."

Fan Xian immediately felt a headache coming on. "The Empress Dowager lives deep in the palace. How are we going to get the things she has?"

Where is Taiping Villa located?

Wu Zhu shook his head and said, "I can't remember at all."

Fan Xian said, "Let's not consider the palace for now. I can ask my father about the Taiping Villa first."

"Once we find out the location of Taiping Villa, let's go find the key together!"

Wu Zhu nodded and said, "Okay."

Royal Villa.

Lin Wan'er's eyes were red and swollen; she had been crying all day.

Li Chang'an quietly pulled Lin Wan'er into his arms, "Wan'er, the deceased is gone, we have done our best."

Lin Wan'er threw herself into Li Chang'an's arms, crying uncontrollably. Her eyes were filled with tears, and the words she uttered were even more unconventional.

“My husband, even if the Grandmaster by Fan Xian’s side had killed my mother, I wouldn’t be as heartbroken as I am now.”

The death of my brother is more painful than the death of my mother; few people would compare the degree of pain after the death of a loved one.

However, Lin Wan'er did not grow up in a normal family environment at all. Li Yunrui showed her very little care and had barely seen her a few times.

Her closest relatives since childhood were her second brother, Lin Gong, who often visited and kept her company, and Li Chang'an, who often climbed through the window to see her.

In addition, Lin Wan'er suffered from tuberculosis since childhood, so her personality was somewhat extreme.

"Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. If Fan Xian truly wants revenge, why doesn't he kill Li Yunrui?"

Lin Wan'er, like Lin Ruofu, had become somewhat insane after losing her loved ones.

Li Chang'an had actually discovered long ago that Lin Wan'er had a madness about her.

"My husband, I swear to kill Fan Xian! To avenge my second brother!"

Li Chang'an was not surprised by Lin Wan'er's attitude. In her eyes, her second brother, whom she had been close to since childhood, had been killed, so the killer was her mortal enemy.

"Wan'er, Fan Xian is one of the most difficult people to kill in this world. His mother is Ye Qingmei, and his father is the current Emperor..."

"The Grandmaster by his side is the best in the world, and Chen Pingping, the King of the Night, is his mother's most loyal friend..."

"Wan'er, killing Fan Xian to avenge yourself is not something you can do overnight. You must be prepared to fight him for many years to come."

Li Chang'an's words were actually a delaying tactic to postpone Lin Wan'er's impulse to express her hatred.

The only conflict between Li Chang'an and Fan Xian right now is Lin Wan'er.

But now, this conflict has been resolved.

Even if Emperor Qing doesn't budge, Lin Ruofu would never agree to Lin Wan'er marrying Fan Xian.

Li Chang'an is a pragmatic person. How he deals with Fan Xian depends on Fan Xian's impact on Li Chang'an's interests.

If Fan Xian threatens Li Chang'an's interests in the future, or even if the two become enemies, then Li Chang'an will definitely help Lin Wan'er kill Fan Xian.

If Fan Xian obediently joins Li Chang'an's ranks in the future, then Fan Xian's power will become an asset to Li Chang'an, and Li Chang'an will certainly not let Fan Xian die easily.

The reason for the uncertainty is that the butterfly effect of Li Chang'an's time travel is slowly unfolding, and no one can predict what kind of person Fan Xian will become.

Another purpose of Li Chang'an's words was to start cultivating Lin Wan'er's abilities. With the motivation of revenge, she could improve faster.

Lin Wan'er possesses extraordinary gambling talent, with exceptional mental arithmetic and strategic gambling abilities. She is a genius at managing finances and supplies.

In the original novel, the Hangzhou Association established by Fan Xian is similar to a foundation organization, which is managed by Lin Wan'er.

"Wan'er, your second brother is gone. Your father and Da Bao will need your care from now on. Compared to going to fight Fan Xian, this is more urgent."

"Women cannot enter officialdom, but you can own your own property in the capital like Li Hongcheng."

"As for the capital and the shops to start your business, you can borrow from the Crown Prince, the Second Prince, and Li Hongcheng. With your abilities, you will be able to recoup your investment in no time."

Lin Wan'er was clearly persuaded by Li Chang'an, because she was highly talented and wanted to make a name for herself.

“Husband… although I am quick-witted than others, I am not very good at business planning.”

Li Chang'an said, "That's easy. I'll assign Gao Wuniang to be your teacher and assistant. You'll be able to make some achievements within a year or two."

Li Chang'an had a plan for all his women.

Fan Ruoruo is a sniper and a divine doctor, Lin Wan'er is a financial management expert, Si Lili is the double agent of Northern Qi, and Xiren and Qingwen are invincible sisters.

Lin Wan'er lay in Li Chang'an's arms, and the two talked for half the night. Lin Wan'er's emotions finally calmed down a lot, and she was full of hope for the future.

Li Chang'an also had Lin Wan'er memorize the secret manuals of Tianshan Zhemei Hand and Lingbo Weibu. These two martial arts, which are mainly based on changes and require a lot of brainpower, are very suitable for her.

Late at night, Lin Wan'er lay shyly in Li Chang'an's arms and said meaningfully, "Husband, in another month, Wan'er will be sixteen years old."

"When the time comes, Wan'er will give her husband a surprise!"

Girls these days are so lucky; they even surprise you on your own birthday!

Time travel is so awesome!

Three days later, on the luxurious balcony outside the Imperial Study.

Li Chang'an sat on the bench on the balcony, watching his two nephews cross their eyes.

The Crown Prince sat upright, glaring angrily, while Li Chengze squatted on his seat, looking just like an angry husky.

Name: Li Chengqian

Age: 19 years old

Realm: Third Grade

Talents: Performance (Rank 9), Political Strategy (Rank 7), Fashion (Rank 7)

Abilities: Performance (Ninth Rank), Political Strategy (Eighth Rank), Painting (Sixth Rank), Fashion (Fifth Rank)

Emotion: 50

Over the years, the Crown Prince has cultivated some martial arts skills, greatly improved his political acumen, and even reached the top level of sixth rank in painting despite having no natural talent.

Subsequently, Lin Ruofu, Chen Pingping, and Fan Xian came to the balcony one after another.

Emperor Qing finally came over from the Imperial Study and patted Lin Ruofu on the shoulder with a heavy heart.

"Minister Lin, please accept my condolences!"

"Today's topic is the assassination attempt at the Prime Minister's residence."

"The residence of the chief civil official of my Great Qing Kingdom has been targeted by two assassination attempts."

"With the combined protection of the Ministry of Justice, the Garrison Commander, and the Shadow Guard, the assassin killed the second son of the Prime Minister's residence!"

"Gentlemen, in this bloody case, the Prime Minister's second son and dozens of guards have lost their lives."

The discussion inside and outside Kyoto is in full swing, and the impact is extremely negative! This case needs to be resolved today.

The first assassination attempt was carried out by Fan Xian and his shadow, killing dozens of guards. The second was carried out by Wu Zhu, who killed Lin Gong.

Before entering the palace, Li Chang'an had already guessed the purpose of this meeting: for the emperor and his ministers to jointly shift the blame to Si Gu Jian.

Then, taking advantage of the influence of this major case and the recent "provocation" incident by the Northern Qi, the Northern Expedition was launched!

Essentially, this localized war of the Southern Qing Northern Expedition was part of a plan devised by Emperor Qing and Chen Pingping.

Emperor Qing, Li Chang'an, Chen Pingping, and Fan Xian were well aware of the truth behind the two assassination attempts at the Prime Minister's residence.

Lin Ruofu had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on. He only knew the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, two lovable characters, and didn't know who the murderer was.

The two of them even suspected that it was the Grand Master in the palace who was responsible.

“Prince Yong, among these people, you have the most experience in the martial arts world.”

"Was Lin Gong's injury truly inflicted by a Grandmaster?"

Li Chang'an replied, "Your Majesty, judging from the severity of the wounds, the three assassins who carried out the two attacks had changed from weak to strong in martial arts."

"The weakest is the one who wields a dagger on the first day, and the highest rank will not exceed the lower eighth grade."

The swordsman on the first day already possessed techniques far more powerful than those of an average ninth-rank martial artist.

"The next day, the assassin, armed with a sharp weapon, killed people as easily as cutting tofu."

His inner energy was contained, and his movements were silent and stealthy. I have never seen such a powerful person in my entire life.

Chen Pingping smiled slightly at Li Chang'an, revealing a kind smile.

"His Highness Prince Yong is absolutely right, and so is the Investigation Bureau's deduction: Lin Gong died at the hands of a Grandmaster!"

Name: Chen Pingping (Chen Wuchang)

Age: 46 years old

Realm: Upper Ninth Rank (now defunct)
