Chapter 614 Why don’t you be the emperor?
Fan Xian smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just want to talk to you about old things."
Chen Pingping's eyes moved slightly: "What old thing?"
Fan Xian's smile faded and he said calmly: "My mother's death."
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Chen Pingping's face suddenly faded.
He frowned slightly, thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Your father and I have already killed all the criminals who participated in the murder of your mother. Why are you still asking this now?"
Fan Xian said calmly: "Are you sure you killed them all?"
"..."
Chen Pingping held her wheelchair and turned her head, looking at Fan Xian steadily.
"...What do you know?"
“You should ask, what else don’t I know.”
Fan Xian shook his head and said softly: "To be honest, I have already joined the Heavenly Court."
"……Um?"
"There is a magical tool in heaven that allows people to see the past and know the future. Now I know everything."
"..."
Chen Pingping fell silent after hearing this.
After a while, he sighed: "Is there such a strange thing in the world?"
Fan Xian did not answer, but simply said: "Before I met you, I had already had a showdown with my father."
Chen Pingping frowned, shook her head and said, "You shouldn't have a showdown with him."
As soon as these words came out, Chen Pingping's attitude became obvious - he was on Fan Xian's side, or Ye Qingmei's side.
Fan Xian smiled and said, "You have indeed guessed the real murderer of my mother."
Chen Pingping was silent for a while, glanced at him and said, "So what, His Majesty is your biological father."
Fan Xian shook his head and said, "Uncle Chen, don't test me anymore. I told you that the artifact can see the past as well as the future. I already know all your secrets and your future plans against the emperor."
"..."
Chen Pingping looked at Fan Xian blankly.
Fan Xian thought he didn't believe it, so he continued softly: "In heaven, I saw the conversation between you and my mother in the past, and I also saw you attacking the emperor because of my mother in the future."
"I clearly remember that you told the emperor at that time that you would be kind to anyone who was kind to you. When you were young, you were just a eunuch in Prince Cheng's palace, but my mother never had the slightest concern because of your physical disability. Disdainfully, she treats you with sincerity and a friend. This is treatment you have never enjoyed before, and you will always remember it in your heart."
"So, you endured it for twenty years just to complain to the emperor on her behalf..."
Chen Pingping suddenly said softly: "Stop talking."
Fan Xian immediately closed his mouth and looked at Chen Pingping quietly.
Chen Pingping's face was expressionless, but there was a hint of sadness and nostalgia in her eyes.
Fan Xian's words completely lifted the shadow in his heart and exposed his true thoughts to the sun.
This is a secret that he has kept deep in his heart for many years and has never been revealed to outsiders.
To this day, even the emperor in the palace still thinks that Chen Pingping is still the obedient old dog at his feet.
But Fan Xian was able to express his thoughts clearly, and even recited the conversations he had simulated countless times in his mind.
In this situation, Chen Pingping could not think of the second possibility except for the heavenly court that she had heard from Mu Ya.
It couldn't be that Fan Xian had an insight into people's hearts and could see his hidden true thoughts after only meeting him a few times, right?
After a long silence, Chen Pingping sighed softly and said quietly: "Heaven..."
"There is such a transcendent existence in the world, which really makes mortals like us...feel extremely powerless!"
Holding back for many years is no match for the magical means of peeking into the future.
People like him must be very ridiculous in the eyes of those in heaven.
Chen Pingping laughed to herself, then glanced at Fan Xian and said, "Push me to the front. There is a secret room there."
Fan Xian nodded obediently, pushed Chen Pingping forward, and then opened the secret room under his guidance.
The secret door disguised as stone bricks slowly opened, and Fan Xian pushed Chen Pingping inside.
After closing the secret door, Fan Xian turned around and looked at Chen Pingping in the wheelchair with bright eyes.
"Since you already know my true thoughts, but you still come to the Overwatch Council, could it be that..."
After hearing Chen Pingping's words, Fan Xian thought about it carefully and sighed: "Uncle, let me tell you the truth. I actually have no real feelings for my mother. After all, I have never seen her since I was born. one side."
"But then again, although I have never met her, the things I have experienced in my life, the people I have met, and the kindness or malice I have received are all closely related to her."
"You, my father, Uncle Wu Zhu, my grandmother in Danzhou who loves me so much, and even Wan'er who is about to marry me..."
“Almost everything I care about and everyone I love is there for me because of her.”
"From this perspective, she seems to be everywhere and has left me an endless legacy."
"But even so, she is still a conceptual symbol to me."
"To say how much I love her and how eager I am to avenge her is not entirely true..."
At this point, Fan Xian paused, then sighed and said: "But I still came to you, and it is true as you said, I want to seek justice from the emperor on her behalf, but this is not because I want to seek justice for her. Mother takes revenge.”
"If I have to give a reason, it's probably because I'm not willing to give in!"
That's right, after reading Qing Yunian's story, Fan Xian was angry and carefully examined his heart.
He discovered that the reason why he was originally destined to take action against the emperor and kill his biological father was not just to avenge his mother Ye Qingmei, but more because of people like Chen Pingping who were really close to him and who also traveled through time. The person's unwillingness.
This also matches Fan Xian's current mentality quite well.
As a time traveler, with a sincere heart to spread red flags all over the world, he was eventually killed by the conspiracy of the indigenous people. This experience, which is also a time traveler, Fan Xian will naturally feel extremely indignant.
He could understand Ye Qingmei's thoughts back then and admired her behavior.
Being in a different place, Fan Xian felt that he could not care about the world like Ye Qingmei did.
He admired Ye Qingmei and was unwilling to let Ye Qingmei be killed by the indigenous emperor so easily.
The mother and son are not so much close by blood as they are bound by soul.
Having said this, Fan Xian paused again, glanced at Chen Pingping and said with a smile, "Moreover, Ye Qingmei and I have a deeper connection than you can imagine."
"..."
Chen Pingping sat in a wheelchair and looked at Fan Xian quietly.
Many of what Fan Xian just said was actually a bit confusing to him and he couldn't fully understand it.
But he already fully understood Fan Xian's obvious attitude.
However, before a complete showdown, he still needed to get a clear answer from Fan Xian.
Chen Pingping said calmly: "Miss is your mother, but Your Majesty is also your father."
"I know." Fan Xian nodded, and then said with a self-deprecating smile, "But people from the Li royal family have always been crazy, and any dirty and dirty things may happen, such as a sister falling in love with a brother, or a husband killing a brother. Wife, son…patricide.”
"..." Chen Pingping narrowed her eyes slightly, "You want to kill the emperor?"
Fan Xian shook his head and said with a smile: "Of course not. Pure physical revenge is too low-end and too simple. I have joined the Heavenly Court. I will definitely add some advanced taste and do some more advanced revenge."
Chen Pingping smiled and said, "Say it, I'm listening."
Fan Xian smiled and said: "Uncle, I am also a prince, right? So do I also have a share in this throne?"
Chen Pingping raised her eyebrows: "You want to be the emperor?"
Fan Xian shook his head: "I have seen a broader sky, how could I be greedy for the imperial power on this earth? Don't you know what my mother is thinking? I want to completely change the dynasty and return Nanqing to the world. You... Can you help me?"
Chen Pingping laughed: "Do you also want to completely restructure the system and abolish the throne like your mother?"
After saying that, Chen Pingping shook her head and said warmly: "It's too intense. Even an amazing person like your mother would not dare to express such thoughts openly. She just set up the Overwatch Council to secretly supervise the imperial power. .”
"You know, the dragon robe on your body is easy to take off, but the mountain in your heart is not easy to remove."
"After so many years, the people have become accustomed to the emperor's existence. If you suddenly want them to stand up and take charge of the country, not only will they not get what they want, but it will harm the Qing Kingdom."
Fan Xian sighed and said, "I also know this, so I plan to find someone to learn from him after a while."
Chen Pingping thought for a while and said lightly: "How about you become the emperor and change the surname to Fan."
Fan Xian raised his eyebrows when he heard this and looked at Chen Pingping in surprise.
He dared to say such words because the Traveler Alliance stood behind him.
But Chen Pingping actually dared to say in such an understatement that he asked the emperor to change his surname. It seemed that he was doing far more secretly than what was written in the book.
Seeing the surprised expression on Fan Xian's face, Chen Pingping thought that he was unwilling to be the emperor, so she said with a smile: "Don't refuse in a hurry. I know that you are lazy and don't want to be bound by the throne in the palace."
"But just because you don't want to be the emperor, I think you can be the emperor well."
"I have arranged everything. Just hide your feelings, stay in the capital, and watch quietly. I will remove all obstacles for you and help you ascend to the highest throne with my own hands."
Fan Xian looked at Chen Pingping with a complicated expression.
He knew that what Chen Pingping said was not false.
Back then, everyone around Ye Qingmei was transferred away, and she eventually died alone in Taiping Courtyard. After Chen Pingping realized the truth, she secretly vowed to let the emperor experience that kind of lonely death.
So, the prince, the second prince, the eldest princess, the queen, the queen mother...
All the people close to the emperor died in Chen Pingping's plan, and it was almost as if they were killed by the emperor himself.
Even those close to him like Fan Xian couldn't help but be frightened by this viciousness that had been dormant for decades like a poisonous snake.
He knew very well that if he really listened to Chen Pingping, the other party would indeed be able to remove all obstacles for him except the emperor.
But in that case...
"Too many people died."
Fan Xian shook his head and said slowly.
It was originally the third update, but I read it myself and felt unsatisfied, so I deleted more than a thousand words. Today is the second update. Let me revise it.
