Right after he said that, Chen Qingfeng suddenly looked at him with a serious expression and asked:
"You don't actually think the Empress is the murderer, do you?"
"what?"
Fan Xian was stunned, caught off guard by Chen Qingfeng's sudden question.
Startled, he quickly pursed his lips and said:
"how?"
"From what you're saying, brother, is there something else going on with Mother's death?"
"If it wasn't the Empress, then why did Mother die?"
Chen Qingfeng glanced at him, looking thoughtful.
After a moment's thought, a resolute glint flashed in his eyes, and he laid his cards on the table:
"Because of Emperor Qing!"
"His Majesty?"
Fan Xian was stunned, his face full of disbelief.
"Brother! You...you mean...Mother was killed by Emperor Qing?"
Chapter 137: Fan Xian Learns the Truth! Emperor Qing's Crimes Are Too Numerous to Recount; The Imperial Family Is Cold and Ruthless!
Chen Qingfeng nodded.
Upon seeing this, Fan Xian was stunned, his head buzzing.
Never thought of it.
The real culprit who killed Ye Qingmei was none other than Emperor Qing of the Qing Kingdom!
After being shocked for a long time, Fan Xian finally calmed down and asked:
"Why did he do this?"
Chen Qingfeng no longer concealed anything and replied:
"Because our mother pursued equality for all and hoped that everyone in the world could become a dragon."
"Her ideals are written on the stone tablet in front of the Overwatch Council."
"What she hoped to build was a utopian world."
"Emperor Qing, on the other hand, hoped to establish a highly centralized imperial society."
"Given this fundamental clash of ideologies, do you think Emperor Qing wouldn't have any reservations or desire to kill her?"
After Chen Qingfeng said that, Fan Xian's expression turned much gloomy.
At this moment, Chen Qingfeng continued:
"To set up a killing trap."
"Emperor Qing also racked his brains."
"He announced that he would personally lead the campaign and removed himself from the list of suspects."
"Furthermore, Fan Jian, who was serving as the Treasurer of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices and concurrently as the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was arranged to accompany the army on the expedition."
"Just at that time, the Northern Qi launched a surprise attack on the border overnight."
"With the war in the north becoming increasingly intense, Chen Pingping had no choice but to lead the Black Cavalry north to defend the region."
"In addition, he also transferred Ye Zhong, the garrison commander of Kyoto, away from his post and sent him to Dingzhou to train troops."
"This led to the transfer of control of the Kyoto garrison to the Qin family, who were important officials in the Empress Dowager's faction."
"At the same time, people from the temple intervened and lured Uncle Wuzhu away."
"So all the people around our mother who could protect her were dragged away for various reasons."
"And she herself was in labor and was at her weakest."
"He was unfortunately killed in an attack led by the Empress."
After saying that, Chen Qingfeng sighed deeply.
Fan Xian, who was standing nearby, was completely stunned after hearing what Chen Qingfeng said.
Originally, all he knew was that the Empress had killed Ye Qingmei.
Who would have thought that there were so many strange things behind this incident?
After being stunned for a long time, Fan Xian finally came to his senses:
"so."
"Is Emperor Qing the real culprit who killed our mother?"
"The Empress was nothing more than a tool he used to kill others?"
Chen Qingfeng nodded and remained silent, waiting for Fan Xian to process what he had just heard.
Fan Xian stood there, stunned, his face full of astonishment.
At the same time, I understood.
Why did Chen Qingfeng ask him in his letter 273, before they even met, whether he dared to rebel?
At that time, Chen Qingfeng knew that he was his younger brother.
The Dragon Elephant Pill he was given even helped him kill Cheng Jushu and escape death.
It turns out that all of this was because Emperor Qing was the real culprit who killed Ye Qingmei.
After a moment's thought, a resolute look flashed in Fan Xian's eyes.
"Brother! I'll work for you!!"
Fan Xian turned to look at Chen Qingfeng and said with a determined expression.
"Ok?"
Chen Qingfeng was slightly surprised: "Don't you think I'm trying to drag you down with me now?"
Fan Xian looked slightly embarrassed.
Before that, Chen Qingfeng had taken him to see the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry.
At that time, Fan Xian felt that his older brother was really planning to rebel against Emperor Qing.
However, he still had reservations about whether to join forces with Chen Qingfeng.
Now we know the truth.
Fan Xian didn't hesitate any longer.
After a brief pause, Fan Xian, without waiting for Chen Qingfeng to say anything more, picked up the Lingxu Sword and continued practicing his swordsmanship.
It's clear that he's putting in more effort and dedication than when he was practicing swordsmanship before.
Seeing this, Chen Qingfeng smiled with satisfaction, then got up and walked to the edge of the square.
Seeing Chen Qingfeng walking towards her, Haitang Duoduo seemed a little flustered.
Just now, I overheard quite a few of Chen Qingfeng's secrets.
Before Chen Qingfeng could speak, Haitang Duoduo feigned composure and said:
"What were you two secretly talking about over there? You've been talking for ages!"
Chen Qingfeng smiled slightly and said:
"Didn't Miss Duoduo hear everything just now?"
"what?"
Upon hearing Chen Qingfeng's words, Haitang Duoduo immediately panicked.
After a long while, she finally stammered:
"You...you found out, why didn't you stop me from eavesdropping?"
Chen Qingfeng remained calm and said indifferently:
"It's nothing shameful. If Miss Duoduo wants to hear it, then listen carefully."
Upon hearing this, Haitang Duoduo was immediately amused and said with a smile:
"You're so magnanimous!"
"By the way, is what you said about the golden dragon protecting you true?"
Chen Qingfeng nodded and said:
"of course."
Seeing Chen Qingfeng's resolute answer, Haitang Duoduo couldn't help but start looking him up and down.
"What are you looking at?"
Chen Qingfeng asked curiously.
As Haitang Duoduo looked her over, she said:
"Let me see if you have the mark of a holy dragon on you!"
Chen Qingfeng smiled helplessly, letting Haitang Duoduo continue to scrutinize him.
After observing Haitang Duoduo for a while, he finally asked:
"Do you see anything?"
Haitang Duoduo was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said:
"I can't see anything!"
"She gets better looking the more you look at her!"
Chen Qingfeng smiled slightly and joked:
"What? Has the Holy Maiden been moved again?"
