Chapter 174 Niulan Street

The eldest princess's mansion.

"Canceling the engagement, he is quite arrogant."

The princess sneered, her murderous intent towards Fan Xian did not diminish in the slightest.

This marriage was granted by Emperor Qing and cannot be cancelled just like that.

"Let's see how he will act. Give him some time."

The princess sipped her tea.

She would never give up the financial power of the inner treasury. Although Lin Wan'er was her daughter, she was just an illegitimate daughter born from a one-night stand with Lin Ruofu.

In the eldest princess's opinion, it would be best if Lin Wan'er never married!
Inside the palace.

"He has the same temper as his mother!"

Emperor Qing was sharpening his arrowhead and was not impressed by the news.

Fan Xian, Fan Xian, I just don’t know if you have the same ability as your mother.

A flash of hope flashed across Emperor Qing's eyes, but was then covered by a hint of fear.

She is a remarkable woman, but if she cannot be used by me, she must be killed anyway!

Emperor Qing let out a long sigh and lost all interest in sharpening his arrows.

"I find this Third Brother increasingly difficult to understand."

Emperor Qing frowned.

About three years ago, Emperor Qing noticed that Bai Jing had changed slightly.

But recently, the struggle with the crown prince and the second son seems to have slackened.

"Have you given up?
But if he gave up, he shouldn't try to cancel Lin Wan'er's engagement and fight for the inner treasury's financial power. "

Emperor Qing was puzzled, but soon stopped thinking about it.

Whether it was the Second Prince or Bai Jing, they were just whetstones he prepared for the Crown Prince.

If Bai Jing still wants to fight, let him do it and sharpen the prince's knife even more.

If you don't fight, then you will be expelled from Kyoto and returned to your fiefdom, where you will live a quiet and peaceful life.

It just so happened that Fan Xian arrived and could take over Bai Jing's position and train the prince.

The Second Prince's Mansion.

"So, Fan Xian gave up the beauty and the power of the inner treasury, and insisted on canceling the engagement. Is he just an idle wanderer?"

The second prince smiled. He felt four parts admiration and six parts contempt for Fan Xian's attitude.

How can you talk about freedom if you don’t hold power in your own hands!

"Fan Xian can't get what he wants no matter what.

If the engagement is cancelled and Wan'er falls in love with my third brother again, the power of the inner treasury might be taken away by my third brother for nothing."

Fan Mansion.

Fan Jian knew nothing about the conversation between Bai Jing and Fan Xian, but after knowing that Fan Xian went to visit Bai Jing, he still scolded him severely.

Fan Xian didn't care, and Fan Jian was helpless, so he sighed.

"Ah, you kid! Even Xiao Hei is more sensible than you!"

The big black dog lay on the ground, wagging its tail.

Fan Xian curled his lips and said, "I won't get married anyway!"

"But I took great pains to get this marriage for you!"

Fan Jian clapped his hands in anger.

The father and son parted unhappily.

The following period of time was much more uneventful. The bookstore jointly opened by Fan Xian and Bai Jing was very profitable and was run by Versace.

Fan Xian and Zijing Wei work together to investigate who is behind the assassination.

Bai Jing did not interfere with this plot and let it develop as it pleased.

…………

On this day, at the invitation of Prince Jing's son Li Hongcheng, he attended a poetry reading.

"Hey, let me tell you if you have any literary talent. Don't make a fool of yourself!"

Zijing acted as a groom and turned back and teased from time to time.

"Okay, definitely okay!"

Fan Xian laughed.

All three hundred Tang poems are engraved in his mind, how could he lose?

To be on the safe side, Fan Xian also flipped through Bai Jingchu's poems to avoid conflicting verses, making all possible preparations. When they arrived at the place, Fan Xian and Fan Ruoruo got out of the car and were received by Li Hongcheng himself.

"Hey, Ruoruo, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Li Hongcheng said seriously.

Fan Ruoruo snorted, "Don't call me Ruoruo, we are not that close."

"Uh……"

Fan Ruoruo ignored Li Hongcheng's reaction and walked into the mansion on her own.

Fan Xian was amazed and said, "This buddy likes you too. It seems my sister is really popular."

"Brother, stop talking!"

Fan Ruoruo said angrily: "I am not worthy of this Prince Jing, who is used to a life of debauchery.

He often goes in and out of places of entertainment, and he has kept at home at least ten beauties in the past few years!"

"That's it."

Fan Xian immediately changed his opinion of Li Hongcheng. He thought that such a man could not be his brother-in-law.

"It seems that the former Third Prince treated you well."

Fan Xian muttered something, and was soon glared at by Fan Ruoruo.

“Brother, please don’t make fun of me, your situation is not much better than mine.

After the Third Prince fell in love with his sister, he often had secret meetings with Princess Lin. This was no secret in the entire Kyoto.

Originally, we young ladies all thought that they would become a good couple.

But who would have thought that everything would change once the emperor issued the marriage certificate.

But this has made their trysts more frequent, and they might even be together now."

"Princess Lin is indeed a chaste woman, but her good deeds have nothing to do with me anyway."

Fan Xian waved his hand, and the invisible green hat on his head became three points brighter.

During the poetry gathering, Fan Xian faced challenges from Guo Baokun and others, but he defeated all the other poets with his poem "Climbing High" and became famous in Kyoto.

He then met with the Second Prince, toured the flower boat, beat up Guo Baokun, and confronted him in court, with the Crown Prince and the Second Prince taking sides respectively.

Fan Xian's fame as a poet was spread out along with his notoriety. He was known for fighting illegal boxing and staying overnight on a flower boat. With such bad deeds, the eldest princess took the opportunity to cry to Emperor Qing, saying that Wan'er could not be entrusted to such a man.

Emperor Qing was not shaken at all.

Bai Jing still ignored these things and just continued to be affectionate with Lin Wan'er.

"Brother Bai, how long will we live like this?"

Lin Wan'er's skin was as white as cream, her figure was like a willow, her eyebrows were like ink paintings, her eyes were like autumn water, and her lips were slightly pursed, thin and rosy, like newly blooming cherry blossoms, or like dots of cinnabar.

“There will always be.”

Bai Jing patted Lin Wan'er's snow-white back gently. This girl was deeply in love with him, and he liked her very much.

When he was pursuing Fan Ruoruo, Lin Wan'er would still try to give him advice, which really made things difficult for her.

Lin Wan'er fell asleep in Bai Jing's arms, and Bai Jing's eyes were deep.

According to the time calculation, the next thing was the assassination in Niulan Street.

This event is the real beginning of the curtain, and it is time for him to enter.

Bai Jing didn't do nothing, but the time was not right.

…………

"Why hasn't the engagement been cancelled yet?"

Fan Xian said angrily.

Not only is this fucking engagement, but there's also no news about his chicken leg girl!
These days, Fan Xian searched all the rich girls in Kyoto but couldn't find her.

“Could it be that she is of a lowly status, a maid or something like that?

Or maybe she is not originally from Kyoto, but just happened to come to Kyoto to learn about the local situation, and has now left Kyoto?"

Fan Xian looked suspicious.

If it was the former, it would be fine. Kyoto is such a small place that he could always find it, and he didn't care about his so-called identity.

But if it is the latter, it will be troublesome. If the scope is expanded to the entire Qing Kingdom, he may not be able to find the person even if he searches for a hundred years.

"Don't think too much, hard work pays off, and we will meet again if we are destined to.

Ahead is Niulan Street. After passing this place, we are not far from our destination. You should first think about how to deal with the Second Prince."

Zi Jing smiled.
