Chapter 233 Fan Xian’s life experience is revealed.

The queen continued to water the flowers, occasionally trimming the branches and leaves with the golden scissors in her hand, neither hurried nor slow.

"But is it causing trouble again?"

The prince looked a little unnatural. He was just about to polish up the process of how he moved the silver from the Ministry of Revenue's treasury when suddenly a eunuch came hurriedly.

He did not care about the rules. Instead, he moved very quickly to the emperor's ear and whispered something.

Within a few breaths, the queen's face showed panic, and she even used too much force with the golden scissors in her hand, and broke a pot of precious peonies into two!
"Is this true?"

The prince noticed that his mother, who was always graceful and elegant, was now a little panicked, and her lips were pale and trembling.

The eunuch nodded solemnly and said, "Now the news has spread all over Kyoto. The flyers we sent earlier are all over the city."

It took the queen a while to come back to her senses. She was silent for a long time, then she was filled with endless anger!
She no longer cared about her manners, but narrowed her eyes because of excessive anger. Her hand loosened and the golden scissors fell to the ground, and the queen did not pay any attention to it.

"That bitch actually has a son!"

There was endless madness between the gnashing of teeth.

The prince shuddered and said hurriedly, "Mother, my matter..."

"What a critical moment! You're still thinking about your nonsense!"

The prince stood there in a daze, unable to react.

"Fan Xian! Fan Xian is His Majesty's son! He is your half brother. Did you understand? He is the prince!" The Queen lost her composure at this moment, and there was no mother-son affection at all. She looked at the Prince hatefully and shouted, "Did you understand?"

The roar frightened the prince, but he managed to react.

"Is this not true? I know, this must be a conspiracy of the Northern Qi people!"

"I know whether this is true or not. No wonder I felt like I had seen that little bastard somewhere when I first saw him. Turns out he's that bitch's son!" The queen's resentful voice filled the entire garden, causing the palace maids and eunuchs serving on the side to lower their heads, fearing that the queen would focus her attention on them.

"What are you still standing here for? Move!"

"What does the Queen Mother mean?"

"No matter what means you use, whether you unite with the Second Prince or talk to your aunt, the Princess, you must kill Fan Xian!"

"I understand, son!" The prince gradually realized the seriousness of the matter.

He was more skeptical at first, but seeing how confident his mother was, he could not help but believe it!

Think about Fan Xian, who has now taken over the Supervisory Office. With Chen Pingping in semi-retirement, the Supervisory Office has actually fallen into Fan Xian's hands! In addition, the other party has been in Jiangnan for almost a month. If he takes over the Jiangnan Treasury, then whether in terms of power or money, he will be above all the princes!

Not to mention Fan Xian's world-renowned literary reputation!
The prince, who had been thinking a lot, suddenly realized a problem and asked the queen hurriedly, "Mother, does your father know about this matter?"

It would have been better if the prince had not asked, but he regretted it as soon as he asked.

As expected, the Queen's expression became more vicious. She managed to utter a few words with great difficulty: "What do you think?"

The prince was shocked. What did his father mean by this? Knowing that Fan Xian was his son, he handed over the Supervisory Office and the Imperial Treasury to him. Was he training a secret prince?
He glanced at the queen and his expression also became gloomy.

It seems that my father has never thought of giving the throne to me!

"Don't panic, mother. I'll do it right away!"

The prince did not stop, but turned around and walked out at a faster speed, but the queen stopped him.

"My son, go and do what you want to do, what you think is right. Your mother will support you!" The queen's expression was gloomy and mysterious, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking.

The prince said angrily: "I understand!"

After that, he left without looking back.

"Kill all these people!" the queen said softly to the eunuch who came in earlier.

"Yes." The eunuch glanced at the people behind him and walked towards them silently.
······
In the Second Prince's Mansion.

A private banquet was currently taking place. The original location was scheduled to be on the flower boat on the Liujing River, but recently Prince Jing's son Li Hongcheng had undergone a huge change and had become alienated from him and was drifting away from him.

In desperation, the second prince had to secretly encourage the third prince and Fan Sizhe of the Fan Mansion to open a Baoyue Tower as his own source of funds. As for Zuixianju, the same was true.

However, Zuixianju and Baoyue Tower were not his in name and were only controlled secretly, so the banquet was still held in the mansion.

"It's really interesting!"

The second prince's sitting posture was indeed a bit strange. He took off his shoes and half-squatted on the chair, just like a farmer taking a rest in the field. He was sipping fine wine, showing an intoxicated look. Suddenly, he heard a piece of heavy news, but he did not lose his composure, but instead had a sense of elegance and peace.

It was as if he had anticipated it, and it was also as if he was already tired of everything that was happening around him.

After a while, the second prince sighed, slowly put the wine glass in his hand back on the table, and then slowly opened his eyes.

He glanced at his wife beside him and smiled faintly: "Ling'er, your husband has some things to take care of here. From now on, please entertain everyone on your behalf!"

After saying that, he stood up and bowed sincerely to the guests, saying: "Everyone, I have some things to take care of here, so I'll leave you first!"

As the second prince, Li Chengze was treated with such courtesy, the guests knew that it was an important matter, and they all stood up and saluted in return, saying, "Your Highness, please go."

Ye Ling'er watched Li Chengze leave with sadness and worry in her eyes.

Although she didn't know what had happened, the Ye family's observation of Li Chengze in recent days and Li Chengze's ambition towards the Ye family made this new wife very worried.

The reason is simple, simply because Li Chengze makes no secret of his ambition.

After the second prince left the table, he came to the lake in the backyard, took the letter handed to him, and began to read it.

The breeze blew the hair in front of his forehead, revealing his eyes which were covered with a wonderful smile. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, revealing a somewhat pure smile.

"I originally thought that Fan Xian was my brother-in-law, but I didn't expect that fate would play such a trick on me and he would become my own brother!" Li Chengze's words did not receive a response. He seemed to be recalling his first encounter with Fan Xian.

That time I did not greet him, and he did not fear me.

Just this once, he realized that the two people were the same kind of people!

"The throne is so tempting. Sometimes you can't get it just because you want it. But sometimes you can't get it just because you don't want it!"

The second prince smiled and shook his head, tore up the letter in his hand, and asked softly, "Do you know everything?"

"Everyone in the city knows it!" the man replied.

"There is no smoke without fire. There is no smoke without fire. This is probably true."

"It's still under investigation, but it's just in the palace."

"All the cruise ships on this lake were built with my money. What do you think?" asked the second prince, pointing at the pleasure boats on the lake.

"It looks great from the outside, but I have never been up there, so I don't know what it's like inside."

"That's it. A glamorous appearance doesn't represent what one is like inside." The second prince spoke very slowly, always giving people a sense of disconnection. The same was true when he suddenly changed the topic.

The visitor had been with the Second Prince for a long time, so he naturally understood what he meant.

"It's just that the palace is too quiet."

The second prince smiled faintly, raised his head and glanced at him, and said, "Be calm."
