Chapter 206 I'm Not Asking You to Guess "Master Mei, why is the dean so concerned about Master Xiao Fan?" After leaving the Supervisory Office, Wang Qinian, who was sitting on the steps at the gate, asked Mei Chengan who was standing beside him. Mei Cheng'an looked at him in surprise when he heard that. "You do not know?" Wang Qinian said blankly. "I don't know. Uh, I know that the dean is particularly concerned about him and wants to choose him as the next person in charge of the Overwatch Council, but I don't know why he was chosen." Mei Cheng'an suddenly realized that Wang Qinian didn't know Ye Qingmei's story at the moment, and Chen Pingping naturally wouldn't tell him either. After thinking for a while, Mei Cheng'an pointed to the stone tablet on the left side of the gate and asked Wang Qinian. "Do you know who erected that stone tablet?" Wang Qinian turned his head, looked and shook his head.
"I only know that the monument existed when the court was first established. I don't know who erected it, and no one in the court has discussed it." Mei Chengan smiled. "The person who erected the monument is called Ye Qingmei." "Ye Qingmei?" Wang Qinian looked thoughtful when he heard this. "This name sounds familiar. Where have you heard it before?" Mei Cheng'an waited for a moment, and seeing that he hadn't remembered yet, he reminded him with a smile. "Neiku." Wang Qinian was stunned for a moment and slapped his forehead. "Oh! I remember now, Ye Qingmei, the inner treasury was built by her, and it was only after her death that it was taken over by the royal family. I said why this name sounded so familiar to me, I had read some information about it before. I just didn’t expect that she actually had connections with the Overwatch Council.” Mei Chengan smiled. "Not only are they connected, but she actually built the Supervisory Council herself. Chen Pingping was her little follower at the time." Wang Qinian opened his mouth wide. "She, the dean, the little follower?" Mei Chengan laughed. "Isn't it hard to imagine that scene? Chen Pingping, who can make everything happen with a flip of his hand, was once just Ye Qingmei's little brother." Wang Qinian was so shocked that he couldn't calm down for a long time.
"This woman is so amazing, that's not right. How come such a person is rarely mentioned? Even the information left behind is pitifully little, and most of the information that is left is vague." Mei Cheng settled down. "That may involve some secrets, and I don't know the specifics." Wang Qinian thought about it and it was true. If something is unusual, there must be a reason. Not to mention that Mei Chengan didn’t know, even if he knew, he wouldn’t plan to continue investigating. Sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing. The current information is enough to open his eyes and take some time to digest. After thinking about it, Wang Qinian finally returned to the topic. "Then what does this have to do with the Dean's regard for Master Xiao Fan?" Mei Chengan smiled. "Isn't it obvious? Fan Xian is Ye Qingmei's son." …… Office of the President of the Supervisory Yuan. Fan Xian pushed Chen Pingping to the corner where there were flowers. At Chen Pingping's signal, Fan Xian turned the hinge and opened the skylight. Facing the first rays of light that came in, Chen Pingping's eyes were fixed on Fan Xian. After all, they were not familiar with each other yet. Fan Xian felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze and spoke in a slightly stiff tone. "Why are you looking at me? There's a flower on my face." Chen Pingping placed his hands on his knees, looked at Fan Xian with gentle eyes, and spoke softly. "Come closer." Fan Xian hesitated for a moment, but still took two steps forward. Chen Pingping looked him up and down carefully, and when he saw his clothes, he couldn't help but remind him softly. "You're wearing too thin clothes. Be careful not to catch a cold." Faced with the sudden concern, Fan Xian blinked, a little overwhelmed. Chen Pingping didn't need his response. She looked back at his face, stared at him for a while, and then smiled. "She looks like her." Fan Xian was stunned for a moment. He was not asking a question even though he already knew the answer. He was just not sure who the "he" (she) Chen Pingping was referring to was. "Who is he (she)?" Chen Pingping did not answer. He looked Fan Xian up and down once again, then moved his gaze to the flowers and plants by the wall. Memories flooded in as his eyes flickered, and Chen Pingping spoke softly with a smile on his face and a gentle tone. “She was standing right here back then, and I asked her.
When the Supervisory Commission was first established, we had to think about what kind of flowers to plant. As long as she asks, I can find the most expensive flowers. She shook her head and picked wildflower seeds from the roadside. She said, just casually, and scattered it on the wall. There is no need to plant, life itself will find the way to flourish. " Fan Xian listened to Chen Pingping's story quietly, and he already knew who Chen Pingping was talking about. She was casual and free-spirited, which was obviously her mother's style, but he still asked a question. "Who is she you are talking about?" This time, Chen Pingping did not avoid his question. She turned her head and looked at him softly. "Ye Qingmei, your mother!" …… Wang Qinian opened his mouth wide again when he saw the bombshell news that Mei Chengan dropped while chatting and laughing. "Ah? He is... Oh, then everything makes sense if that's the case. I see. His Majesty, then, chose Xiao Fan to take over the inner treasury..." Wang Qinian slapped his thigh! "It's right, it's right, it's all right!" Mei Chengan glanced at him with a smile. "Keep your noise down! Walls may have ears." Wang Qinian opened his eyes wide and looked around quickly. After making sure that there was no one around, he covered his mouth and looked at Mei Chengan and grinned foolishly. Mei Cheng'an also laughed. He was naturally trying to scare Wang Qinian, and he was listening to all the noises around him. With his hearing ability, he can detect any movement around him, unless someone is a grandmaster. But it would be too embarrassing for any grandmaster to have nothing better to do than eavesdrop on their conversation. So there is no need to worry about this problem at all, which is why he dared to say it with confidence. "So the walls have ears you mentioned are referring to me?" A shadow suddenly appeared behind Mei Chengan. Of course, the person he was referring to was Wang Qinian. He was startled, and after he came to his senses, he quickly stood up and saluted the shadow. Mei Cheng'an didn't move, and answered casually with his back to the shadow. "I'm talking about you! What are you doing quietly in the back?" Shadow rolled his eyes at his back and walked past him. "You're talking like someone wants to eavesdrop on your conversation. I'm just passing by normally, okay?" Mei Chengan called him.
"Wait a minute, where are you going?" Shadow stopped and turned to look at him. "It's time to eat, of course we should go eat." Mei Cheng'an said. "Where are we going to eat? We haven't eaten yet. Let's go together later. It's boring to eat alone." Shadow was speechless. He pointed at his clothes and then at his mask. Mei Cheng'an reacted, exclaimed, looked at the shadow twice, and said curiously. "Hiss~ Speaking of which, it sounds like you, but the shape of your body is not right. Have you lost weight or is the suit too big?" Shadow waved his hand when he heard that. "Don't mention it. I've been back home with Chen Pingping for more than a month. I've lost a lot of weight. I need to make up for it quickly. I'm not going to talk to you anymore. I'm leaving now." After saying that, Shadow turned and left. Mei Cheng'an didn't keep him any longer. He looked at his departing back with some confusion. I gain 3 pounds every holiday season, but I still lose weight when I go back home to visit my family? What's going on? Thinking of this, Mei Chengan turned around and asked Wang Qinian who had sat down again. "Where is Chen Pingping's hometown?" Wang Qinian was confused. "That's not true." …… "What's your relationship with her?" Fan Xian thought about it and felt that there was no need to play dumb, but there were some things he still had to clarify, as this would determine whether he could trust Chen Pingping. Chen Pingping opened his mouth, but ultimately did not answer his question. He couldn't explain it clearly in a few words, so it was better not to answer. "Wuzhu is in Kyoto?" Chen Pingping didn't answer his question, and he didn't want to answer Chen Pingping's question. Fan Xian thought it was fair and reasonable. "Who is Wuzhu?" Chen Pingping smiled. "It was me who suggested that he take you to Danzhou." Fan Xian was stunned for a moment. He thought he could confirm this with Uncle Wu Zhu later. If it is true, then it seems that Chen Pingping and his mother must be very good friends, otherwise Wu Zhu would not trust him so much. After thinking about it, Fan Xian still didn't speak.
Chen Pingping said again lightly. "He killed Lin Gong." This time Fan Xian couldn't help it and responded subconsciously. "Why do you say that? What does this have to do with him?" After he finished speaking, he was stunned. He had just pretended not to know her, but in the blink of an eye, he was exposed. Damn it! It's impossible to guard against it. Chen Pingping smiled a little happily, but did not make fun of him for this. He looked at him twice and said. "It seems that you really don't know. Go back and ask him. I know you don't believe me yet, but it doesn't matter. I will take care of Lin Gong's matter." "..." Fan Xian looked at Chen Pingping with some doubt. Seeing that he was so sure, he also felt a little confused. Lin Gong’s death can’t really be related to Uncle Wu Zhu… …… royal palace. Outside the imperial study room. The prince walked hurriedly to the door. Gong Dian, who was guarding outside the door, saw that the prince had no intention of standing in front of the steps waiting for notification, so he bowed and shouted. "Your Highness!" The prince said urgently without stopping. "I want to see the emperor!" Gong Dian stood firmly at the door and his voice became louder. "Why does Your Highness want to see the Saint?!" The prince finally stopped and stared at him with an expression of disbelief. Gong Dian did not look at him. He knew why the prince reacted like this. The two of them did have a private relationship before, but since he chose to break it off, he would not be able to go back on his word. …… In the imperial study room. Gong Dian knelt down and bowed. "Your Majesty, yes, the Crown Prince requested to see you. He said that he had a guess about the real culprit in the murder of Lin Gong, the second son of the Prime Minister's Mansion." Emperor Qing, who was sitting on the couch and dealing with memorials, asked casually without even raising his head. "Who does he guess?"
Gong Dian bowed. "I dare not say." Emperor Qing shook his head and looked at him, his expression speechless. "I'm not asking you to guess." After saying this, Emperor Qing lowered his head again to look at the official document. "Go ahead." Gong Dian bowed again and replied. "The Crown Prince said that the Second Prince might be the real murderer!" When Emperor Qing heard the words "Second Prince", his eyes fixed for a moment. After hearing the second half of the sentence, Emperor Qing was really speechless. The more he thought about it, the more speechless he became. He was so speechless that he couldn't help but let out a few dry laughs. Finally, he sighed heavily. …… (End of this chapter)
