Chapter 196: Palace Layout
"crazy?"

Emperor Qing was amused and said, "I think he is bored and has started to talk nonsense. Come, draft an edict for me!"

"Yes!"

…………

"Taichang Temple Juzhonglang?"

Fan Xian held the imperial edict in his hand with a strange look on his face.

"What position is this?"

Fan Jian said with a smile: "I am only an eighth-rank official, but I am still an official after all, so it's a good start.

This position...is mainly responsible for coordinating with the Honglu Temple to manage diplomatic affairs. It's usually nothing to do, but the war between Daqing and Northern Qi is about to end.

The negotiations between the two countries are also under the jurisdiction of the Honglu Temple, so it would be good to hone our skills a bit."

Fan Xian's face turned bitter, and he said, "Is it okay if I don't go?"

Hearing this, Fan Jian's expression changed instantly, and he said coldly: "Go ask His Majesty about this!"

"Ok."

Fan Xian sighed, knowing that he had to take this position.

"Get ready. You've been doing nothing all day. It's a good idea to go to the Taichang Temple!"

Fan Jian turned away.

Fan Xian rolled his eyes and didn't care, but took out the strange long box from his room again.

"Uncle Wu Zhu."

Fan Xian called out tentatively.

"I'm here."

Wu Zhu immediately appeared behind Fan Xian.

Fan Xian was startled and asked, "Uncle Wu Zhu, when did you come?"

"I've always been here, you just didn't notice."

"Ok."

Fan Xian knocked the box hard with his elbow and said, "I have a feeling that I must know the secret of this world.

Once we open this box, we will understand everything!"

Ever since he learned from Wu Zhu that there was someone who could grasp lightning with his hands, and saw Wu Zhu's wound, Fan Xian felt that the world before his eyes had already collapsed.

Exploring the secrets of the world has almost become his obsession.

Fan Xian has been thinking hard these days and still feels that he should open the box left by Ye Qingmei as soon as possible.

"But the key is with the Queen Mother. Didn't you say it's hard to get it?"

Wu Zhu wondered.

"There is a Grand Master in the Imperial Palace, and Hong Sixiang is a potential candidate. With him guarding the Empress Dowager's Palace, you cannot enter."

"The mountain man has his own clever ideas. I have already thought of a way."

Fan Xian smiled mysteriously and said, "I'm going to go out for a while."

"Then what about your official position? If you don't take up the post?"

"Fuck, Uncle Wuzhu, you heard that too!"

"I said, I'm here, I've always been here."

"I am just an eighth-rank official. I am on strike!"

…………

The mansion of the three princes.

Bai Jing's eyebrows suddenly jumped, and he said, "You mean, you want me to make a detailed map of the palace for you?!"

"Yes."

Fan Xian looked very serious and for a moment he was at a loss as to what to do with Bai Jing.

What kind of good person would want a map of the imperial palace for no reason, and specifically ask for a detailed one!
"Aren't you afraid that I will report you and send you to the Inspection Office?"

Bai Jing's face turned dark.

"Oh, it's okay, the Inspection Office is like my home now.

Look, the Tisi waist badge, you have never seen it before!"

Fan Xian patted his chest and took out a black badge from his waist.

Originally, this thing was taken back by Zhu Ge, but later when Chen Pingping formally contacted Fan Xian, it was exchanged back.

"You are really brave."

Bai Jing held his forehead and said speechlessly.

The friendship between him and Fan Xian was neither shallow nor deep. Fan Xian actually dared to tell him such a head-losing thing. "We are allies, so we should have a life-or-death friendship."

Fan Xian winked and made eyes.

In fact, he was not really heartless, but his intuition told him that Bai Jing was different from the people in this world.

Especially since the third prince’s teacher is suspected to be a fellow townsman from Blue Star, the relationship becomes even closer.

"Ok."

Bai Jing agreed.

"Really? That's great!"

Fan Xian was ecstatic. The first step went so smoothly. It was a good start!
"Where is it, where is it, where is the map!"

Fan Xian looked around, already impatient to get the map.

"At this."

Bai Jing pointed to his head, then went to the study and drew a picture for Fan Xian on the spot using the four treasures of the study.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's really detailed. It seems that His Royal Highness the Third Prince has also been thinking about the layout of the palace in private."

Bai Jing said seriously: "Don't say that!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, it's a secret, I understand!"

"You are so careless, you will suffer a great loss sooner or later!"

Fan Xian disagreed, and thought of another important matter, and said solemnly: "I already know who planned the assassination on Niulan Street?"

"Oh, who is it?"

Bai Jing became interested. It seemed that Lin Gong had done this, but in fact it was done by the eldest princess.

Bai Jing knew this very well, but he just didn't know where Fan Xian had found out.

Previously, Fan Xian asked Wu Zhu to kill Lin Gong, but he was rescued by Bai Jing. Now Lin Ruofu even pretended to be sad on the surface.

Is Fan Xian bringing this up now to apologize to him?

After all, Lin Gong is his future brother-in-law.

"It's the eldest princess!"

"How did you find out?"

Bai Jing asked.

"She admitted it herself. This woman is like a lunatic... But she is Princess Lin's mother..."

Fan Xian asked tentatively.

Bai Jing smiled and said, "As you said, the eldest princess is crazy, if you want to deal with her, just go ahead.

Wan'er still has some affection for the princess because she is her mother, but the princess does not have much affection for Wan'er. "

"Well, there is also the matter of Lin Gong. I heard that he is missing. Third brother, please accept my condolences."

Fan Xian felt uneasy. He wanted to explain to Bai Jing, but Lin Gong had a grudge against him, so he had to kill him. If he explained, it would expose Uncle Wu Zhu's existence, so he didn't know how to start.

"Go ahead, I will investigate this matter myself."

Bai Jing sent Fan Xian away, his brows relaxed.

Living in this world full of calculations, he only uses Fan Xian to achieve his own goals.

If everything is settled and they can shake hands and make peace, everyone will be happy. If not, then it's no wonder that he killed someone.

…………

As time went by, the war between the two countries ended with a great victory for Nanqing. Under the negotiations hosted by the Honglu Temple, the two countries made the final exchange of interests.

Afterwards, a banquet was held in the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, with the main characters being the envoys from both negotiating parties, to celebrate the consensus reached.

"There is one thing you should pay attention to. Tomorrow the literary master Zhuang Mohan will also be here."

Bai Jing reminded.

"What does this have to do with me?"

Fan Xian asked curiously.

"Didn't you write a poem about climbing a high mountain at the poetry meeting before?

The literary world of our Qing country has been weak for a long time. You are a great poet, and now everyone is placing their hopes on you."

"You mean to say that I want to confront the great men of literature on the spot!"

Fan Xian was stunned.

No, he just copied a poem by Mr. Du, but he doesn't really have much literary talent. To go head-on with a real literary master is just courting death!

If others don’t compete with him in writing poetry, he’ll be doomed!
"Don't say such harsh words. You are the hope of the literary world."

Bai Jing laughed strangely and said, there will be a good show tomorrow night.
