Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 200 The Fan family’s father and son’s showdown and Yan Xiaoyi’s entanglement

Yan Que didn't know that Fan Xian had thought so much, because at this time he had already arrived at the palace and met Emperor Qing.

"What did you say? Does he really want to participate? Well, since he wants to participate, let him participate, but don't go too far," Emperor Qing said in a deep voice
"Your Majesty, don't worry. I will naturally not want to take action if I can. After all, this matter is still your Majesty's own family matter in the final analysis. If it is of any benefit to me, why should I?" Yan Que said
"Haha, you, this is the best. Okay, you can step back." Emperor Qing waved his hand.
After hearing this, Yan Que naturally bowed and then slowly exited the imperial study. After he left, Emperor Qing's face became gloomy, but Yan Que couldn't see it.

When Yan Que returned to his mansion, he went directly to his room. When Wan'er saw him coming back, she hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Master, how are you? Is there anything unexpected?"

"Haha, don't worry. There's nothing unexpected. Everything has been taken care of. But I have to go to the palace to see my mother-in-law tomorrow and tell her everything so that she won't worry." Yan Que said
Wan'er didn't say anything after hearing this, but nodded directly. When Yan Que saw this, what were he waiting for?Naturally, I am busy with what I should be busy with, the most important thing at the moment.

Compared with him being so leisurely, Fan Xian was not so comfortable at this time, because he came to the inspection institute again and faced Chen Pingping.

"You're here, let me guess, it was Yan Que who asked you to come, right? If it hadn't been for him, you wouldn't have come today, and you would have been delayed for a few days." Chen Pingping said with a smile.

"Yes, it was indeed Yan Que who reminded me. I remember you told me before that you have a very good relationship with my mother. Let me ask you now, why?" Fan Xian asked
"Why? This is a good question. Your mother has been very kind to me, so everything I told you before is true. As for the matter about Northern Qi this time."

"Actually, you should have the answer in your mind. The reason why you have been raised in Danzhou all these years is for this trip to Northern Qi, so I couldn't have told you the truth before." Chen Pingping said

"Haha, okay, that's great. This explanation is really..., then let me ask you again, how did my mother die?" After Fan Xian finished speaking, he stared at Chen Pingping and said.
"Your mother died at the hands of the Queen. Her relatives broke into your mother's residence and killed your mother." Chen Pingping said in a low tone.
"The queen's relatives? Okay, I'll take that as this. Then let me ask you, where did Uncle Wu Zhu go at that time, and where did you go? Why were you not in Kyoto at that time?" Fan Xian said
"I don't know the specific reason why Wuzhu left Beijing that year, but it was because of the incident in Northern Qi that I took the Black Cavalry to the border." Chen Pingping said

"Haha, interesting, really interesting. Don't you think everything is too coincidental? I don't know who of you is lying, and I don't know if you can still trust me."

"But I'm asking you now, I want to fight for the throne, are you willing to help me?" Fan Xian said
"Of course you can. I've said before that you can trust me completely." Chen Pingping said

"Okay, I hope you can remember what you said and say goodbye." Fan Xian left directly after finishing speaking.

Looking at Fan Xian's leaving figure, Chen Pingping said to herself, "Yes, it is indeed such a coincidence, but who would have thought that His Highness, who was so full of thoughts at the beginning, would eventually...?"

When talking about Chen Pingping later, she let out a long sigh.Fan Xian didn't know this, because at this time, he still had a very important person to meet.

After returning to his home, he went directly into his father's study.

Fan Jian looked at his son in front of him and asked him to sit down as before, but a trace of solemnity flashed between his brows, and then he said directly, "You know everything?"

"Well, I know about father. I just went to see Chen Pingping. He told me a lot of things, but I don't trust him now. I want to know, who wants to kill my mother?" Fan Xian said
"Silly boy, he didn't lie to you. Your mother did die at the hands of the Queen's relatives. Back then, Chen Pingping bloodbathed half of the capital because of your mother's affairs."

"But I didn't know who was behind the scenes, so Chen Pingping suggested to Wuzhu to send you to Danzhou. That's when I found out."

"You may not know, but I actually have a son, but he is already dead." Fan Jiandao
"Huh? Father, what did you say? You mean you have it? Wasn't Ruoruo's mother back then?" After hearing this, Fan Xian immediately thought of a possibility and asked in surprise

"Yes, it's what you think, Xian'er. I'm telling you this today, not because I want you to do anything. I just want to tell you that no matter what you do, I will support you." Fan Jiandao
After hearing this, Fan Xian didn't know what to say for a moment. He didn't say anything. He just knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times.

Then he left the study without looking back. At this time, he was very excited, mixed with some guilt. He didn't know how to face his father.

So he chose to escape temporarily. Looking at his son's leaving back, Fan Jian's eyes were red because he had uncovered the scar today and thought about what happened back then.

Time passed slowly, and soon the next day came. Yan Que left the house early in the morning, and then walked directly towards the palace. He entered the palace not long after, and then went straight to Guangxin Palace.

When Li Yunrui saw Yan Que, he said with a smile on his face, "Xiao Que, you are here, sit down quickly."

Yan Que was not polite after hearing this, but sat down directly, picked up the fruit on the table and started eating.

"Mom, I was in such a hurry this morning that I didn't bother to eat." Yan Que said with a smile.

"Haha, you, how can these things work? I'll let people prepare it right now. Why wait until you finish eating?" Li Yunrui said helplessly.
"It doesn't matter. I'm the Grand Master. It's just a meal. It's nothing. By the way, mother, I came here today to tell you that Fan Xian's matter has been resolved." Yan Que said
"Oh? Really? Xiaoque, why did Fan Xian do this?" Li Yunrui said

"Mother, I have to tell you about this. The reason why Fan Xian did this was to compete for the throne. He knows the truth." Yan Que said
"You mean fighting for the throne? How could Fan Xian fight for it? Wait, you mean, you mean Fan Xian is His Majesty's son? He is the son of that woman and Your Majesty?"

"It's impossible, it's impossible. It was already done all those years ago?" Li Yunrui kept shaking his head in denial.

"Mother, Your Majesty has already come to see me. His Majesty's attitude has shown that he has always known that Fan Xian is his son." Yan Que said softly.
After hearing this, Li Yunrui quickly returned to normal. Although she was still shocked, she forced herself to calm down.

"Xiao Que, Fan Xian is going to fight for the throne. Do you want me to give up the crown prince?" Li Yunrui said.

"Yes, mother, I have already made it clear to Your Majesty that I will help Fan Xian, so mother, I'm afraid you can no longer support the prince."

"Mother, you should know that if Fan Xian chooses to participate in the fight for the heir, Wu Zhu will definitely take action, and I don't need to say more about Wu Zhu's strength, right?" Yan Que said
Li Yunrui did not speak after hearing this, but nodded directly, because for her, the prince was just a tool for her to take revenge on Emperor Qing.

If there is a better choice, then even giving up is nothing. After all, she just wants to take revenge on Emperor Qing. As for who the tool is, she doesn't really care. "Okay, I understand, but wouldn't it be a pity to just give up like this?" Li Yunrui said.

"Mother, I agree with you. Wu Zhu hasn't come back yet. Even if Fan Xian wants to get involved, he won't move now."

"So we are not in a hurry to throw the prince out. After Fan Xian officially comes to the stage, we will throw the prince out to make a certificate of surrender." Yan Que said
"Well, you are right, then let's do it like this. But these days, the prince always comes to me asking questions. I have to find a way to hold him back." Li Yunrui said.

"This is easy to handle. Just say that Fan Xian came to seek refuge with you." Yan Que said
"Huh? This is a good idea. Okay, then it's settled. Xiaoque, let's go. The food is already ready." Li Yunrui said with a smile.

This meal was a feast for both the guest and the host. After Yan Que finished the meal, he left Guangxin Palace and went directly to his eldest brother's apartment.

After Yan Xiaoyi learned about it, he immediately returned to the public house. After the two brothers exchanged pleasantries, Yan Que did not waste time, but told his eldest brother everything.

"Well, second brother, your news is really shocking, but your choice is right. We really have no chance of winning against that Wuzhu." Yan Xiaoyi said

"Brother, actually, I didn't come here today to tell you this. I just want to ask you, do you still have His Highness in your heart?" Yan Que asked seriously.
"What? Second brother, what did you say? You, why do you ask that? What nonsense are you talking about?" After hearing this, Yan Xiaoyi's face suddenly changed and he asked
"Brother, you know in your heart whether I am talking nonsense or not. You don't need to answer me. Your performance has already told me the answer."

"Brother, you don't have to worry about me and the princess. I don't want you to give up your feelings because of me. You have done enough for me over the years." Yan Que said
"Second brother, please don't mention this matter again in the future. There will never be an affair between a man and a woman between His Highness and I. You can go back and don't keep the princess waiting for too long." Yan Xiaoyi said

"Brother, I know what you are thinking. You can't lie to me. Don't you just want to stay by His Highness's side for the rest of your life? I know all this."

"Because I had the same idea as you before. I just wanted to stay by the princess's side, so that I would be satisfied. But later, when I knew that she was going to be married to Fan Xian."

"My heart told me that I couldn't accept this result. I couldn't watch her marry someone else, so I risked everything to fight for it, and I succeeded."

"Now, brother, why don't you fight for it once? Are you really willing to let His Highness be with another man again?" Yan Que asked

"No, it won't happen. Your Highness, she won't be with another man anymore." Yan Xiaoyi said

"Haha, brother, do you believe what you say? Don't talk about it from afar, just talk about the prince. Do you really don't know what the prince has in mind?"

"Don't you know what kind of temper Your Highness is? Do you think she will care about those ordinary opinions? As long as it can make His Majesty angry, Your Highness, she is willing to do anything." Yan Que said
"Stop talking, stop talking, second brother, please stop talking!" Yan Xiaoyi said loudly

"Brother, can you cheer up? Before I became a master, I was able to marry the princess. Now that I have become a master, can't I still let you marry his highness?"

"If I can't do this, wouldn't my breakthrough be in vain?" Yan Que said directly
At this time, Yan Xiaoyi was caught in the middle of the war between heaven and man. In his mind, two different voices kept persuading him.

One side told him that he shouldn't have such unreasonable thoughts, and the other side told him why he couldn't be with His Highness. He was not bad now, and he had his second brother to help him.

"Brother, as the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father, and Your Highness is my mother-in-law now. You two should be together. You should leave this matter alone. I make the decision and I will handle everything." Yan Que said
After finishing speaking, Yan Que did not stay, but stood up and left directly. Seeing this, Yan Xiaoyi tried to stop him several times, but in the end he did not say anything.

At this time, Yan Que had a smile on his face, because his eldest brother didn't stop him, which meant that he had already agreed in his heart, but he just couldn't say it out loud.

At this time, Yan Xiaoyi was indeed thinking the same as Yan Que.He is not a fool to be able to hold the position of commander of the imperial army for so many years.

He knew that he had agreed with his second brother's words in his heart, and he even had some expectations in his heart.

Thinking of this, he shook his head, suppressed the fluctuations in his heart, and then walked out of the public room to go on inspection. He wanted to keep himself busy, because only in this way could he suppress the fluctuations in his heart.

As for Yan Que, he didn't care so much. After all, he had had this idea for a long time, and he just took the opportunity to express it today.

After reaching his status, there is nothing in the world that he cannot handle. Under such circumstances, how could he wrong his elder brother?

After all, I don’t have many relatives in this world, let alone my archery skills, which were all taught by my elder brother. It can be said that without the teachings of my elder brother, there would be no Hunyuan Archery.

Therefore, in his opinion, helping his eldest brother fulfill his wish is a normal thing.

What he didn't know was that the prince had already arrived at Guangxin Palace at this time.

"What? Fan Xian actually wants to seek refuge with his aunt? Why, why is this?" the prince asked in surprise.
"Why else? Of course it's because of Xiao Que. After all, apart from Xiao Que, do I have anyone else worthy of Fan Xian's trust?" Li Yunrui asked.

"But aunt, doesn't Fan Xian have someone who is number one in the world? How could he do this?" The prince asked puzzledly
"I don't know about this, but thinking about it, it must be related to his trip to Beiqi this time. He probably encountered some big trouble in Beiqi." Li Yunrui said
