All Heavens: From Joy of Life to The Great Feng Night Watchman

The poem I gave Zhan Pianpian yesterday was simpler and more cheerful. Although it also had some melancholy, it was much lighter than this poem, "A Spray of Plum Blossoms."

"Now that you understand the meaning of the lyrics, why not sing them out?"

When Sang Wen sang "A Spray of Plum Blossoms," she soon revealed her true feelings, her eyes and brows filled with poetic sentiment.

Indeed, this poem suits her better.

After the third piece, Sang Wen stood up and said, "Thank you for the music, Your Highness."

With this one song, I will never sing again, and I will have no regrets.

When Sang Wen finished speaking, his emotional energy was at its maximum.

Li Chang'an asked her to sit down and stopped talking about poetry.

Sang Wen's singing skills are indeed superb; you can listen to her anytime you have free time.

"I heard that Chen Pingping invited you to sing, and he quite appreciated it?"

When the topic of intelligence came up, Sang Wen instantly switched to professional mode.

"Your Highness, I have been to Chen Garden once and to the Supervisory Council once."

"But I didn't hear Dean Chen say much. He just listened to the music with his eyes closed. Occasionally someone would come to report something, and after the music was over, he told me to come back."

In the original novel, Chen Pingping also enjoyed listening to Sang Wen sing, and it seems that this aspect remains unchanged.

The Supervisory Council has thoroughly investigated Sang Wen, and even uncovered the relationship between Sang Wen and Xi Ren and Qing Wen.

However, Jing Ni practiced with Sang Wen alone, so the Surveillance Bureau could not detect anything unusual about Sang Wen.

“Sang Wen, you can sing this poem to him. You should also remember the things your subordinates report to him.”

Sang Wen replied cautiously, "Lady Jingni taught me lip reading, and I will promptly inform Lady Jingni of any news I hear."

Li Chang'an added, "If you have the opportunity to contact Chen Pingping, you must be extremely careful and do not actively seek out Jing Ni."

"She and I will come to find you ourselves, so be careful."

Sang Wen then recounted some of Chen Pingping's recent activities, after which Li Chang'an left Miaoyinfang.

After Li Chang'an left, Sang Wen held the pipa in his arms and stared blankly for a while, then suddenly laughed.

She danced in place in the room, like a butterfly that had gathered nectar, her heart bursting with joy.

Two days later, Li Chang'an received some news.

After disguising himself, Zhuang Mohan took advantage of the visit of Guo Youzhi, the Minister of Rites, to enter the palace and meet Li Yunrui!

Their actions were extremely secretive; if Li Chang'an hadn't sent people to keep a close watch on them, they would have almost missed it.

In the original drama, Li Yunrui framed Fan Xian for copying poetry through Zhuang Mohan, but the attempt failed and Fan Xian exposed his crime by distributing leaflets.

Then, Li Yunrui was exiled to his fiefdom of Xinyang, and was completely removed from the capital.

This shows that Zhuang Mohan is still contacting Li Yunrui through Junshan Society in order to rescue Xiao En.

What methods will Li Yunrui use to deal with Fan Xian? Li Chang'an went to the roof of Guangxin Palace to eavesdrop on their conversation.

Hong Sixiang and Yan Xiaoyi could no longer detect Li Chang'an's lightness skill.

As for Emperor Qing, if he could hear the commotion in Guangxin Palace while lying still in his study, the Crown Prince wouldn't have been able to fool around with his aunt for so long.

Not long after, Zhuang Mohan arrived at Guangxin Palace.

Li Yunrui's languid voice reached Li Chang'an's ears.

"Master Zhuang, what method do you plan to use to cripple Fan Xian's internal energy?"

Zhuang Mohan replied, "The peace talks between the two countries are still ongoing. After the talks are completed, as is customary, there should be a state banquet."

"At the state banquet, Fan Xian, who is highly regarded by His Majesty, will surely attend, won't he?"

Li Yunrui promised, "If your method works, I will make this happen."

Zhuang Mohan continued, "We found a young genius from Dongyi City, who is Si Gu Jian's closed-door disciple."

"That genius is not well-known, and not many people know about him, but at the age of sixteen, he already has the cultivation of the peak of the eighth rank!"

Upon hearing this cultivation level, even Li Yunrui was astonished, "Sixteen years old, peak of the eighth rank! Another Yun Zhilan!"

Zhuang Mohan frowned and said, "Uesugi Tiger and I had several days of secret talks with Yun Zhilan, and finally, at a considerable cost, we managed to borrow this genius."

"The young genius is currently in the delegation; his identity is Uesugi Tora's last disciple."

"It is common for the two countries to engage in poetry and martial arts debates at state banquets."

At that time, this genius will challenge the young martial arts champion of Nanqing!

"I shamelessly borrowed a secret technique from Master Kuhe that can cripple a person's true energy, and I have already had that young genius master it."

Upon hearing Zhuang Mohan's words, Li Yunrui suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hehehe, the disciple of Si Gu Jian, Ku He's secret technique will surely cripple Fan Xian!"

"Only your Zhuang family would have the face to mobilize two grandmasters to help."

Ku He was unwilling to let Xiao En return to Qi in order to keep the temple's secret.

Therefore, Zhuang Mohan must have used other reasons to ask Ku He for the cultivation technique.

Given Zhuang Mohan's decades-long reputation in the literary world, the two masters would certainly give him some face.

However, in the end, Lao Zhuang probably gave away quite a bit of money when he decided to help.

Li Chang'an couldn't help but sigh, it really wasn't easy to get rid of Fan Xian in a fair and square way.

However, if this matter were to actually be accomplished, even Emperor Qing would have nothing to say and would have to suffer in silence.

A young genius from Northern Qi challenges the young martial arts champion from Southern Qing, using fair and square moves to cripple Fan Xian's true energy, leaving no room for criticism.

Li Chang'an guessed that the young genius was Wang Shisanlang, Fan Xian's last friend in the original novel.

He was already worried for this genius. Emperor Qing wouldn't reveal his cultivation level for Fan Xian, but Fan Xian had Wu Zhu by his side!

Li Chang'an doesn't care about Fan Xian; he came to eavesdrop on Li Yunrui's plot because he wanted to sabotage Li Yunrui.

After listening to Zhuang Mohan and Li Yunrui's conspiracy, Li Chang'an went to the Royal Villa.

Lin Wan'er was particularly enthusiastic and careful in her service today, as if she was afraid of upsetting Li Chang'an.

Sure enough, afterwards she brought up the matter of her mother introducing her to the sons of noble families.

"These people are more or less connected to my mother's people."

“My husband, even my elder brother, the Crown Prince, and my second brother have come to join in the fun, vying to introduce me to the sons of noble families.”

These two knew that Emperor Qing intended to cancel the arranged marriage between Lin Wan'er and Fan Xian, so they were vying to introduce potential husbands to Lin Wan'er.

The fact that Emperor Qing adopted Lin Wan'er as his goddaughter without knowing that Fan Xian was Emperor Qing's illegitimate son, and that he feigned favor towards her, was extremely deceptive.

Everyone assumed that Emperor Qing favored his adopted daughter, Lin Wan'er, and wanted her husband to take over the Imperial Treasury.

"Wan'er, do you want the inner treasury?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Wan'er was stunned and couldn't react for a long time.

"Am I... capable of taking over the internal treasury?"

This was not a sudden idea of ​​Li Chang'an's, but rather something he felt was truly possible, at least in terms of temporarily taking over the management.

"His Majesty needs someone who is solely responsible to him, has a close relationship with the royal family, and does not belong to any faction to take over the Imperial Treasury."

"His Majesty knows that you harbor hatred towards Fan Xian and that your engagement has begun to waver."

But they just wouldn't budge, because there simply wasn't a suitable candidate.

"If he doesn't relax the requirements I just mentioned, Fan Xian is the most suitable, and you are the second best!"

Upon hearing Li Chang'an's words, Lin Wan'er couldn't help but swallow hard.

She never imagined taking over the internal treasury!

“My lord, Fan Xian’s abilities have not yet been recognized by His Majesty. His Majesty is not at ease entrusting the Imperial Treasury entirely to him.”

"But His Majesty does not want Mother to continue sucking the blood of the Imperial Treasury, so His Majesty must be in a difficult position."

Seeing that Lin Wan'er had grasped the point, Li Chang'an continued his analysis, "In the long run, His Majesty still hopes that Fan Xian can grow up and take on the responsibility of the Imperial Treasury."

"However, this process will take time. During this period, if Li Yunrui is unable to continue in charge of the Internal Treasury, then you will be a very suitable candidate."

Lin Wan'er frowned and said, "Mother is no longer able to manage the Imperial Treasury?"

She's been sucking the blood out of the Imperial Treasury for so long, hasn't His Majesty tolerated it all?

In the original drama, Li Yunrui's attempt to frame Fan Xian failed, and Fan Xian's crime was exposed by distributing leaflets.

Even so, Emperor Qing did not make Li Yunrui immediately relinquish control of the Imperial Treasury.

"Wan'er, you're right, but I have a way to make Li Yunrui's actions thoroughly enrage His Majesty!"

Li Yunrui's actions at the Junshan Gathering offended Emperor Qing.

The Junshan Society, founded by Li Yunrui, wielded immense influence, even impacting the political landscape of the Three Kingdoms and hindering Emperor Qing's ambition to unify the country.

The Surveillance Bureau didn't discover the Junshan Society's affairs until later, after Fan Xian took power.

If Li Chang'an were to reveal the Junshan Gathering to the public now, I wonder if Emperor Qing would be furious.
