Emperor Qing pretended to be indifferent, looked at Haitang Duoduo, and then at Zhan Doudou.

He also asked his subordinate Wang Buer to give the gift.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your generous gift!"

Emperor Qing’s gift was very affordable; it was simply an imperial edict, an imperial edict of inheritance of the title of Duke.

In addition, there are two exquisite jade ornaments.

"It was given by my elders, so I just play with it."

Apart from this simple exchange, Emperor Qing never looked at the two of them again.

Instead, he was chatting with the old lady.

It can be seen that Emperor Qing and Old Madam Fan are really close. The two of them have been chatting for more than half an hour and still don't feel tired.

As it was getting late, the servants of the Fan Mansion prepared a banquet, and everyone finished their meal before parting ways.

The room prepared for Emperor Qing had already been prepared and decorated very neatly.

Even the subordinates brought by Emperor Qing were arranged with accommodation.

The Fan family has prepared more rooms, so even if there are dozens of people, they can accommodate them.

They had not thought that Emperor Qing would only bring so few people with him.

Seeing Emperor Qing and several of his subordinates arrive at the courtyard prepared for them, Fan Xian looked at Fan Bin with an expression of "come and praise me".

"Boss, is my acting good?"

Fan Xian knew that Emperor Qing could hear the conversation between the brothers even though he was dozens of feet away.

But Fan Xian was not worried at all.

After all, his elder brother Fan Bin is also a grandmaster, and a leader among the grandmasters.

As long as Fan Bin wanted, even if the Grand Master was in front of them, he would not be able to hear a single word.

"You acted too much like her. You didn't communicate with your sister-in-law or Haitang Duoduo the whole time. Don't you think it's too deliberate?"

"A sister-in-law is like a mother. Apart from the normal greetings, we shouldn't talk too much."

Fan Xian answered as a matter of course.

He must have thought about this before.

"That was someone else, not you. If you did that, it would be too deliberate."

A word to awaken the dreamer.

Fan Xian felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on him, and he felt dizzy.

"What should I do?"

"What can we do? If an enemy comes, we will fight him; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth."

Fan Bin didn't care.

Although in his heart, he was not willing to expose his relationship with Zhan Doudou so quickly.

He didn't want to cause any trouble before the Dadongshan event.

But if the problem has come to him, Fan Bin will not back down.

"As expected of my boss, I find that you are becoming more and more like Uncle Wu Zhu."

Fan Xian was inspired.

"When you reach the Grandmaster level, you can do the same."

Fan Bin said casually.

Fan Bin said it casually, but a blazing fire burned in Fan Xian's eyes. Although he was already a rare master in this world.

But at this moment, Fan Xian still felt that his strength was far from enough.

If you want to truly have a say in this world, you must at least break through and become a grandmaster.

“I’m almost there!”

On the other side, Haitang Duoduo obviously also noticed Emperor Qing's gaze.

The little girl immediately whispered to her friend: "Have you noticed that the King of Qing seems a little strange. Could it be that he has discovered our identities?"

Zhan Doudou, however, acted like he didn't care.

"You are talking."

After hearing Haitang Duoduo's urging, Zhan Doudou turned his attention away from his own baby: "So what if we found out? It's not like we took the initiative to expose it."

Zhan Doudou had obviously already planned this.

"Why do I feel like you, little girl, are just asking for it? Do you want your lover to be unable to stay in Daqing so that he can stay with you in Beiqi every day?"

When women start gossiping, men can only stand aside.

Even Haitang Duoduo, who has always been simple and honest, has turned into a gossip at this moment.

"Pay attention to your manners. After all, you are the Saint of our Northern Qi."

Zhan Doudou couldn't bear to watch it.

"Just tell me. I swear I won't tell Lili."

Lili is Si Lili.

Due to special reasons, the three of them grew up together. To put it in a more fashionable way, they are besties.

It was at this time that Emperor Qing had already asked Wang Buer and Yan Xiaoyi to withdraw.

There were only two people left in the room, Emperor Qing and Chen Pingping.

"Who is the girl living in the Fan Mansion?"

Although it was a question, from Emperor Qing's tone, he obviously knew the answer.

"The Saintess of Northern Qi, Haitang Duoduo."

Chen Pingping replied respectfully.

"You knew it a long time ago, why didn't you report it?"

"I do know, but I don't know how to report it. I'm afraid it will affect your majesty's judgment..."

Chen Pingping answered immediately without hesitation.

"Do you think that if I knew about this, I would suspect that Fan Bin was colluding with Northern Qi?"

Emperor Qing used a rhetorical question.

"I dare not think about it, so I dare not say it."

Although Chen Pingping did not give a direct answer, Emperor Qing already understood what Chen Pingping meant.

Chen Pingping did have concerns in this regard, so he concealed the news.

After all, misjudgment of this news could potentially lead to the demise of Daqing.

"I ask you, what does this Inspection Office belong to me?"

"Your Majesty's eyes and ears."

Chen Pingping answered as usual.

"Now you tell me that my ears are selective in listening to news?"

Chen Pingping hurriedly pleaded guilty, "I deserve to die!"

"You can't die."

Emperor Qing was unhappy and shook his sleeves.

It's not surprising that Chen Pingping was so smart that she noticed his relationship with Fan Bin in advance.

At this time, anything that happened to Fan Bin actually had little value.

Emperor Qing and Fan Bin, who is stronger?
Only one of them is destined to survive in this world.

There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. This is the truth.

"If that woman is Haitang Duoduo, who is our Lady of the Protectorate?"

After hearing Emperor Qing's question, Chen Pingping, who had learned his lesson, immediately gave an answer.

"She should be a noble of the Northern Qi royal family, perhaps a princess or a county lady."

If it wasn't known in advance that Zhan Doudou was the little emperor of Northern Qi, no one would have guessed that the little emperor of Northern Qi was a woman dressed as a man. Northern Qi could have kept such a thing a secret.

"Our Daqing God of War is really capable."

Emperor Qing was inspired.

Chen Pingping, sitting in a wheelchair, silently staring at Emperor Qing, makes it impossible to tell what he is thinking.
"It is indeed a good sword. If used well, it can ensure that Daqing will dominate the world. It's a pity that the handle of the sword is not in our hands..."

No matter how good a knife is, if it doesn't obey your command, it will only harm its owner in the end.

Just like that woman back then.

Her abilities and talents are no worse than Fan Bin's now, and may even be stronger.

It’s just a pity that the woman has her own ideas and is unwilling to listen to Emperor Qing.

Just as Emperor Qing was talking to Chen Pingping, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Dong Dong!!"

"Come in."

After hearing Emperor Qing's call, the door creaked open. Yan Xiaoyi walked in front of Emperor Qing with a letter in his hand.

"Whose letter is this?"

"It came from the Princess."

After hearing the conversation between the two, Chen Pingping very tactfully bowed and asked to leave.

Emperor Qing waved his hand, and Chen Pingping immediately pushed the wheelchair away.

When he turned his back to Emperor Qing and Yan Xiaoyi, there was no trace of a smile on Chen Pingping's face. The surging anger in his body almost burst out.

Emperor Qing looked at the letter handed to him with a deep gaze.

"What does she want?"

The letter was opened and Emperor Qing saw the contents of the letter.

The expression on Emperor Qing's face suddenly became calm.

"Write her a letter and tell her I know."

At the same time, Fan Xian took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Fan Bin.

Fan Xian had already paid his respects to the old lady, and now only the two brothers were left in the room.

"Whose letter?"

Seeing the letter in Fan Xian's hand, Fan Bin was slightly stunned.

"My mother-in-law's!"

Fan Xian gave an answer that surprised Fan Bin very much.

"She actually dared to ask you to deliver the letter. Isn't she afraid that you might intercept it along the way?"

Although Fan Bin hated some of the eldest princess's actions, overall, the eldest princess did not have that much hatred towards him.

It could be that he was wary of Fan Bin's strength, or it could be that he had other considerations.

But the eldest princess used every possible means to deal with her son-in-law.

When Fan Bin thought about it, he broke out in a cold sweat for Fan Xian.

Because of their special relationship, even though Fan Xian wanted to eat the eldest princess' flesh, he could not harm her.

But this does not mean that Fan Xian will not be wary of the eldest princess.

"She said the letter would be good for you, and it would be ruined if I didn't believe it."

Fan Xian smiled bitterly.

He was considered resourceful, but he was always manipulated by the princess.

If it weren’t for the elder Chen Pingping, if it weren’t for the big brother Fan Bin, protecting Fan Xian behind his back.

Maybe Fan Xian really was tricked by the princess.

The same is true for delivering letters now. The eldest princess understands Fan Xian’s feelings for Fan Bin.

Therefore, Fan Xian will definitely do anything that is beneficial to Fan Bin.

As for whether there is any conspiracy in this letter?
Fan Xian didn't doubt it much.

After all, in the face of his elder brother's absolute strength, any conspiracy or trick will not work.

Therefore, if the princess really had any ulterior motives in this letter, it was all in vain.

But if this letter was really beneficial to his elder brother, Fan Xian might have delayed his elder brother's business if he destroyed the letter.

Fan Xian also knew that Fan Bin and Emperor Qing had an irreconcilable relationship.

So he suspected that the content of the letter was about this aspect. The princess didn't even dare to let her confidant deliver the letter, but entrusted Fan Xian.

I'm just afraid that the news will leak out.

"Let me see what your mother-in-law is thinking."

Fan Bin took the letter, thought for a moment, and then opened it.

The letter consisted of only a few hundred words, but it mentioned three things.

First, the eldest princess said that she was well aware of Fan Bin’s current situation and she could help.

Although there were conflicts between the two sides before, they are relatives after all, and they can completely turn hostility into friendship later.

Second, if Fan Bin agrees, the princess can unite with Ye Liuyun, Si Gu Jian, and Ku He.

Let them join forces to deal with Emperor Qing.

From a public perspective, Daqing is Si Gu Jian and Ku He's biggest enemy, and they would be more than happy to have the opportunity to destroy Emperor Qing.

Personally speaking, the reason why Si Gu Jian and Ku He were able to become grand masters was inseparable from the help of a woman.

And that woman was killed by Emperor Qing.

The two of them must be willing to help that woman get revenge.

Therefore, both for public and private reasons, the princess can ask these two great masters for help.

As for the remaining Grand Master Ye Liuyun, he is the strongest member of Junshan Society, and the eldest princess also has close ties with Junshan Society.

In a word, as long as Fan Bin wants.

The eldest princess can help him contact all the grand masters and destroy Emperor Qing together.

"They say women are the most vicious. Today I have witnessed it."

Fan Bin knew clearly that the person the eldest princess loved most was Emperor Qing!

But now at this moment, the eldest princess actually wants to join forces with Fan Bin to kill Emperor Qing.

It's incredible.

In addition to these two things, there is one last thing.

That was the gift the eldest princess gave to Fan Bin.

"If Lord Fan succeeds in Mount Dadong, you can come to me at any time. I will definitely obey Lord Fan's orders. Whatever Lord Fan wants me to do, I will do it. I can do anything..."

How could a dignified Princess Daqing write such words?
Fan Bin sneered.

Who do they think Fan Bin is?
"Where's the gift from your mother-in-law?"

"what gift?"

Fan Xian played dumb.

"Bring it here."

Hearing Fan Bin's stern tone, Fan Xian reluctantly took out a small package.

The wrap is soft and should be a small piece of clothing.

Fan Bin put the package away without opening it.

"Big brother..."

Fan Xian hesitated to speak.

"Children should not meddle in adult affairs. In the next period of time, I will help you improve your strength. All the grand masters will come to the Great Dongshan Festival this time, so you must be careful. If you see that the situation is not good, don't worry about anything else, just run for your life."

"I see."

Fan Xian didn't try to show off.

The young man knew very well that Fan Bin was telling him all this at this time for his own good.

The situation at this Dadongshan event was very complicated.

Even if the one who planned all this was Fan Bin.

He also couldn't guarantee that everything would go according to his wishes.

At the same time that Emperor Qing and Fan Bin received the letters, the eldest princess was writing the third letter.

"Your Highness, who did you write this letter to?"

The eldest princess's first two letters were completely different from her previous style.

Although Li Yunrui was crazy in the past, he was still cautious after all.

She doesn't dare to do everything.

But now Li Yunrui seems to have a switch turned on.

The whole person has begun to let go of himself.

When Li Yunrui started to let herself go, what she did was completely illogical and unsystematic.

But for the same reason, no one can predict what Li Yunrui will do?
"Of course it's Ye Liuyun."

Hearing that the princess was going to write a letter to Ye Liuyun, the palace maids serving Li Yunrui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"So do you want him to help His Majesty?"

Just when the palace maid asked this question, Li Yunrui suddenly glanced at her indifferently.

The next moment, a graceful figure suddenly came to the side of the palace maid and broke her neck cleanly and neatly.

"Crack!"

"I don't know which party sent this idiot to seek death!"

After muttering something, Li Yunrui continued writing to Ye Liuyun.
