Chapter 213 Asking for Advice Seriously "I know that Fan Xian has a good relationship with you, but I didn't expect it to be so close that he even told you about Wu Zhu. This child is the same. No matter how good the relationship is, you can't tell everything. He has no sense of defense at all. Oh, it's really frustrating. " Chen Pingping said with emotion. "..." Mei Chengan rolled his eyes, speechless. "No, I mean, there's no need to say the second half of your heart. I've left it aside." Chen Pingping could imagine Mei Chengan's speechless look when he heard this, and he couldn't help but laugh. "I'm sorry, I forgot about you. It was just an unintentional remark, don't take it to heart." Mei Chengan glared at the back of his head. "I think you did it on purpose. You're picking on me, saying I'm not a good person."
Chen Pingping laughed even more happily and waved his hands. "You think too much. How could it be possible? You misunderstood." Mei Cheng'an snorted and rolled his eyes at him, too lazy to pay attention to this petty old man. It's easy to figure out that this old guy is taking revenge here because I just shut him up with a few words! Chen Pingping didn't care at all about Mei Chengan's little trick behind him. He put away his smile and got down to business. "You guessed right. I did suspect that Wu Zhu was responsible for Lin Gong's death. But didn't you just say that Fan Xian threw away the route map? So it might not be him." Upon hearing this, Mei Cheng'an couldn't help but recall the situation at that time again in his mind. When he was about to nod and say that he suspected someone in the palace was responsible, he suddenly hissed. He found something unusual in his memories. Chen Pingping asked in time. "What did you think of?" Mei Cheng'an was a little unsure, and after hesitating for a while he finally said it out. "I'm not sure if this is my illusion. Please help me analyze it after listening to me. At that time, after Fan Xian threw the note on the street, we both continued walking forward for a distance. I inexplicably felt that there was someone behind me, it was either a perception or a feeling, but when I looked back, I saw nothing. I didn't take it seriously at the time and just walked away, but now that I think about it... Do you think it is possible that the person who appeared behind us at that time was Wu Zhu, and then he picked up the note and killed someone according to the clues?" After hearing this, Chen Pingping thought about it and asked. "During your conversation, did Fan Xian express his desire to get rid of Lin Gong?" "this…" Mei Cheng'an frowned and recalled it again.
"I can't remember the specific content, but he seems to have said it." Chen Pingping in front smiled. "That's right, he did it." …… Facing Lin Ruofu's mocking gesture, the eldest princess smiled inexplicably and continued to speak in a gentle voice. "I know you are angry and you want to vent it on me. I will let you do that. Gong'er is not my child, but I also want to find the murderer who killed him!" Lin Ruofu sneered. "Don't worry, Princess. Your Majesty is so kind! He has already sentenced the murderer!" The eldest princess looked him up and down. "I know you are dissatisfied..." Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted impatiently by Lin Ruofu. "What do you want from me?" The eldest princess didn't beat around the bush. "I heard that in front of His Majesty, you insisted that Wan'er's marriage remain unchanged." Lin Ruofu squinted at her. "What fast news, Princess." The eldest princess expressed her attitude. "She is my daughter, I don't want her to marry that country bumpkin Fan Xian!" Lin Ruofu laughed and said sarcastically. "What are you willing to give up, Wan'er or the power of the inner treasury?" The eldest princess looked very hurt. "How could you see me like this in your heart?" Lin Ruofu was too lazy to play along with her. "Li Yunrui! We know each other very well. Who are you pretending to be so sad in front of me?" The eldest princess stopped looking at him and said after taking a deep breath. "I am Wan'er's mother, and I don't want her to get married!" Lin Ruofu flicked his sleeves. "Why don't you go talk to His Majesty yourself!"
The eldest princess finally couldn't bear it anymore and cried out in tears. "Do we have to talk like this?" Lin Ruofu also took a deep breath and adjusted his emotions. He was worried that he would not be able to control himself and would completely break up with the woman in front of him. Despite the adjustments, his tone still didn't sound very good. "Wan'er likes him!" The eldest princess said with tears in her eyes. "That doesn't matter. Marriage is something that should be decided between you and me!" Lin Ruofu didn't even look at her and just talked to himself. "Since she was born, I have only seen Wan'er a few times, I owe her a lot! So if she likes it, I don’t want to stop her! ” As Lin Ruofu spoke, his eyes met the eldest princess's, and the warning in his words was not concealed at all. Besides, Fan Xian is kind to Dabao, so I can rest assured that I can entrust the Lin family's inheritance to him in the future!" The eldest princess wanted to persuade him again. "But you know that Fan Xian, he is a nobody!" Seeing that she was still nagging, Lin Ruofu became angry again and he yelled back at her. “It’s hard to support someone without any foundation!” The eldest princess couldn't win the debate, so she played the emotional card and shouted loudly. "Don't you ever think about me?" Just as he finished speaking, several palace maids chasing and playing turned into this corridor. Lin Ruofu and the princess both noticed it, and although their bodies did not move, their emotions were completely restrained. The four maids noticed the two of them, and hurriedly stopped talking and knelt down and kowtowed. "Meet the Princess, meet Prime Minister Lin." Neither of them responded. Lin Ruofu looked at the eldest princess and spoke as if no one was around. "Li Yunrui, I've thought about it for you. The inner treasury was never yours to begin with. Let it go as soon as possible." After a pause, Lin Ruofu said resolutely. "After you and me, there's no need to see each other again!" After saying that, he turned around and went back the same way. The eldest princess watched him leave quietly and did not say anything to stop him. She had indeed said all she could and there was no hope for him anymore. Lan Xiang and Lin Xiang crossed paths, walked to the princess and stopped, silent. The princess closed her eyes to adjust her mood, and when she opened her eyes again, her eyes and expression were cold, and she spoke softly.
"Kill them all, Shen Hu." Lanxiang glanced at the four maids who were still kneeling beside her, bowed and nodded. …… Mei Cheng'an sighed, feeling a little disappointed. Not only because Chen Pingping said it was Wuzhu, but now he himself also thinks it is Wuzhu. I thought the previous plot had changed and the murderer would be replaced, but after all this fuss it's still him. How boring. Mei Chengan asked with a pursed lip. "Hey, I have a question I want to ask you." Chen Pingping tilted his head and asked back. "What's the meaning of the interview?" Mei Chengan explained casually. “Just asking.” Chen Pingping said "oh" readily. "ask!" Mei Chengan asked straight to the point. "How can you say without blushing or beating your heart that the murderer is Si Gu Jian?" Chen Pingping was delighted when he heard this. "Just...say it that way." "..." I am just listening to what you have to say. It really is just listening to what you have to say. Mei Cheng'an thought about it and changed the way of asking. "That is, how did you overcome your inner shame when you made such outrageous remarks?" Chen Pingping thought about it seriously and replied. "Well... it would be nice if you don't feel ashamed." "..." "Stop joking. I'm here to ask for your advice." "No, I'm answering seriously." "..."
"Hiss~ How can I not feel ashamed? Normal people will naturally feel ashamed." "Why don't you just say it a few more times?" "..." "Makes sense!" …… As soon as Fan Xian left the palace, he ran into Ye Ling'er who was leading two horses. Looking around, Fan Xian asked uncertainly. "Are you...waiting for me?" Ye Ling'er led the horses to him and handed him the reins of one of the horses. "Of course I'm waiting for you, come with me." Fan Xian took it in a daze. "How do you know I'm in the palace?" Ye Ling'er jumped onto the horse swiftly. "I went to your house and met your brother, and he told me." Fan Xian suddenly realized something and was about to get on his horse when he thought of another question. "No, you haven't told me where you're going yet?" Ye Ling'er's eyes widened. "Can you please stop wasting time? Where else can we go? Of course, the Royal Villa." Fan Xian got on the horse, looking a little embarrassed. "Did something happen to Wan'er?" Speaking of Lin Wan'er, Ye Ling'er became more patient. "Wan'er cried her heart out when she heard the news of the second young master's death. She refused to take medicine or eat. I tried to comfort her for a long time but it was useless. I had no choice but to come to you." Fan Xian's heart began to hang in the air when he heard this. "So is there no one around her right now?" Ye Linger said. "Princess Roujia is here to watch over us, and the servants and maids are all here too, don't worry, let's go." Fan Xian said no more nonsense, kicked his horse's belly, and the two of them rode straight to the royal villa. ……
Mei Cheng'an pushed Chen Pingping out of the palace and saw from afar ten black riders guarding a carriage waiting outside. Looking around and not seeing any shadow, Mei Chengan asked. "Where's the Shadow Man?" Chen Pingping speaks frankly. "Oh, I asked him to secretly protect Fan Xian." "..." Mei Cheng'an subconsciously looked up at the sky and twitched his lips. It was broad daylight and he had a hammer to protect. "Would Shadow be willing to take on this kind of job?" Chen Pingping smiled. "I was a little reluctant at first, but as you know, he is a martial arts fanatic, so I mentioned that person to him." Mei Cheng'an suddenly realized. "Harmful!" He walked up to the black cavalry and handed Chen Pingping to them, watching them carry Chen Pingping into the carriage. Before closing the door, Chen Pingping turned around and asked. "Where are you going? I'll give you a break if it's on the way." Mei Cheng'an said. "I'm going home, you should be going back to the Overwatch Council, that's not on the way." Chen Pingping nodded and said no more. After the door was closed, several black riders mounted their horses and the group left. Mei Cheng'an looked at it for a while, then looked up at the sun, put out his hand to block the light, stretched himself, looked left and right, and walked towards home. …… Chen Pingping sat quietly in the carriage with his eyes closed, his head shaking randomly with the vibration of the carriage. Judging from the occasional smile on his face, he was obviously in a very good mood. Suddenly, the sound of a black rider came from outside the carriage. "Dean, the car in front is the Minister of Revenue's car." Chen Pingping opened his eyes immediately upon hearing this and looked forward with squinted eyes. (End of this chapter)
