Chapter 149 Your mentality is wrong
Lin Jingyan said.
"I don't recommend that you do it yourself. This method is too stupid. You have to wait for an opportunity that is not easy to come by. If any accident happens during the process, it will be easy to implicate you directly afterwards. The risk is too great."
Lin Gong nodded and waved.
"Forget it then. Anyway, all I want is for Fan Xian to die. It doesn't matter whether I do it myself or not. But I have to make one thing clear to you first. Fan Xian must die under my plan, and the credit must be mine."
Lin Jingyan nodded and thought carefully.
"Then cooperate with others."
"Who to cooperate with?"
"Of course, I will cooperate with the person who wants to kill Fan Xian the most."
Lin Gong frowned and thought about it.
"You mean the eldest princess?"
Lin Jingyan nodded.
Lin Gong paced back and forth. He didn't mind cooperating with the princess. His father disliked the princess because of the past affair between a man and a woman. What did it have to do with him? If he could achieve his goal, cooperating with anyone was not cooperation, it was just...
"Two questions. First, will the princess cooperate with me? If she wants to do something, she should have plenty of ways to do it. Second, if she really agrees to cooperate with me, my contribution..."
Lin Jingyan said.
"First of all, Second Young Master, you don't need to worry too much. After all, the eldest princess lives deep in the palace. Even if she can arrange things outside the palace, it will take a lot of effort. If you can help, everything will become much simpler. Therefore, the eldest princess is more than happy to cooperate with you.
As for the second point, it depends on how the Second Young Master negotiates with the Princess. As long as we play a decisive role in the cooperation, the credit will go to the Second Young Master."
Lin Gong nodded when he heard this, and now he had an idea in his mind.
Lin Gong was a man of impetuous character who would do what he said. Afterwards, the two discussed for a while how to negotiate with the princess. After they had finally finished the discussion, they were stuck when it came to the next step of sending a message because he had no channel to send a message to the princess.
The two looked at each other in silence, and there was an awkward atmosphere in the air.
Lin Jingyan racked his brains for a long time and finally came up with a solution, and said excitedly.
"Second Master, I remember now. Didn't the princess leave someone in the Royal Courtyard to take care of the young lady? Can we contact the princess through her?"
Lin Gong's eyes lit up and he slapped his forehead.
"That's right! How could I have forgotten about this? Great! Let's send a message to the Royal Courtyard."
Lin Jingyan said.
"Second Master, this matter is confidential after all. To be on the safe side, I'd better go there in person to avoid leaking the news."
Lin Gong thought about it and nodded.
"Okay, then I'll trouble you."
Lin Jingyan put away the notes that the two of them had written after brainstorming, bowed to Lin, and went out.
……
Prince Jing's Mansion.
backyard.
Li Roujia was reading the letter Mei Cheng'an wrote to her. The letter described what happened in Kyoto Prefecture today. Mei Cheng'an wrote every word and action in detail, which was much more specific than what Ye Ling'er said, so Li Roujia read it with great interest.
Until the Crown Prince appeared, Li Roujia seemed very relaxed and was smiling the whole time. But after the Crown Prince appeared, the Second Prince and his brother arrived, and the situation took a turn for the worse. Li Roujia gradually restrained her smile. This was a crime of deceiving the emperor, and it was no joke. The story tugged at her heartstrings.
She didn't feel relieved until she saw her uncle sent someone to rescue Fan Xian. She thought the story should have ended hastily, but Fan Xian's questioning of the prince in public even made her feel frightened and she covered her mouth in surprise.
Fan Xian is so bold. He is facing the crown prince of the current dynasty, the heir apparent and the future emperor. Does he not want to live?
No, I have to tell my cousin about this. Her lover is going crazy.
Li Roujia planned to tell Lin Wan'er about this when she went to teach Tai Chi tomorrow morning.
What? You asked why I had to go again when I had already gone to teach today?
That was naturally because Lin Wan'er's learning progress was too slow. It took Lin Wan'er half an hour to learn a move that Ye Ling'er could replicate after watching it once. Most of the time, Li Roujia was correcting her moves.
Even though Ye Ling'er couldn't stand it anymore and joined in the guidance, the progress didn't speed up much.
I studied for an hour in the morning and an hour in the afternoon, but I didn't learn many moves in total.
If she continued at this pace, she would not be able to finish the study within ten days or half a month. Li Roujia had even prepared for a long-term battle.
However, the only thing that made her feel comforted was that although her cousin Lin Wan'er had a hard time learning, she never gave up easily and studied very seriously, which also stimulated her enthusiasm for teaching.
This has gone off topic. After making up her mind, Li Roujia picked up her pen and quickly began to write a reply to Mei Chengan.
……
What was Mei Cheng'an doing at this time? He was preparing ointment. After returning from the Honglu Temple, he bought some medicinal herbs. After returning home, he was busy writing a letter to his wife. He didn't have time to deal with these medicinal herbs until after dinner.
Based on his estimation of Guo Baokun's injury, he would need to use the medicine for at least one week. In addition to the two cans left, he would need to make three more small cans just to be on the safe side.
Therefore, the amount of medicinal materials that needed to be processed was extremely large, so he mobilized all four maids to help process the medicinal materials.
He took some time to stare at the medicine pot on the fire, and gave some instructions from time to time.
The four maids were very skillful, and under his command, they processed the herbs very quickly. When they were about to finish, Mei Chengan's ears moved first, and then several maids stopped what they were doing, shook their heads and looked up at the roof.
somebody is coming.
Several people looked at Mei Chengan. Mei Chengan glanced at Qingniao, and Qingniao immediately got up and left.
After a while, the bluebird came in leading a person.
Mei Cheng'an glanced at Fan Xian.
"I say, when did you develop the habit of climbing walls and flying over rooftops? Why not just go through the main entrance?"
Fan Xian chuckled.
"It's too late. It's not convenient to go through the main entrance."
Mei Cheng'an was speechless and glared at him.
"You know it's too late, why did you come to see me?
After saying that, he waved to the maids.
"Okay, you guys go down, I can handle the rest myself." Several maids responded and left.
Fan Xian stared at the herbs on the table with curiosity and asked with interest.
"Um, am I disturbing you? Why are there so many medicinal herbs here? What are you doing?"
Mei Chengan rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, "Don't you have any idea whether I'm disturbing you or not?" He said unhappily.
"I'm wiping your ass."
Fan Xian was stunned when he heard this.
"What do you mean?"
Mei Cheng'an took a look at the heat and said.
"I'm making some ointment to treat external injuries for Guo Baokun, who was beaten into a pig's head by you. Tell me, am I just wiping your butt?"
Fan Xian suddenly realized, then scratched his head awkwardly.
Mei Cheng'an said.
"Don't just stand there, come and help me process the herbs. There are only a few left. I don't need to teach you how to process them. You should know all the herbs here."
Fan Xian nodded, walked forward, took a few looks, rolled up his sleeves, sat down and started operating.
Mei Chengan asked while processing the medicinal materials.
"Why did you come to see me so late?"
Upon hearing this, Fan Xian suddenly burst into laughter.
Mei Chengan felt confused. What was so funny?
"What are you laughing at?"
Fan Xian kept moving his hands and looked at him.
"Nothing, it's just that half an hour ago, I asked Teng Zijing the same question, but now it's your turn to ask me, I just think it's funny."
Mei Cheng'an cried out in pain.
Fan Xian said.
"I don't have anything to do here. I just want to chat with you and share some good news with you."
Mei Chengan raised his eyebrows and looked at him, showing some interest.
"good news?"
Fan Xian laughed.
"Yes, good news! Teng Zijing is not leaving. He wants to stay and be my bodyguard."
"..."
I've taken off my pants and you're telling me this?
Mei Chengan groaned.
Fan Xian said.
"Why don't you ask me why he left?"
Mei Chengan glanced at him.
"I don't want to ask, just say what you want to say."
Fan Xian didn't care and smiled.
"He said he was worried about leaving me alone in Kyoto, and planned to stay and help me deal with the difficulties."
Mei Chengan clicked his tongue.
"You must be so touched."
Fan Xian said.
"Of course I must! Especially when the prince may attack me at any time."
Mei Cheng'an nodded. It must be said that facing such a situation, Teng Zijing still dared to stay. That required great courage. He was a real man. It was not in vain that he made friends with Fan Xian.
Put the processed herbs aside, put the last bit of herbs into the pestle and start working.
"Are you scared?"
Fan Xian was also quick, he had already processed some medicinal herbs in his hand and placed them in the designated place, and was pouring himself some tea when he heard this.
"It would be a lie to say I wasn't scared."
After pouring two cups of tea, Fan Xian placed a cup in front of Mei Cheng'an, took a sip of tea, and continued.
"After all, I have no idea how the Crown Prince will deal with me next. If it's a polite attack, I can handle it. If not, I can always hold on until His Majesty comes to rescue me. What I'm afraid of is the Crown Prince's use of force. Although I am somewhat confident in my own martial arts, I am not so arrogant as to think that I am invincible. What I'm worried about is that if the Crown Prince takes advantage of my unpreparedness and sends experts to surround me, I will be killed before His Majesty comes. What should I do?"
Mei Chengan listened carefully and commented.
"Your mentality is not right."
Fan Xian was stunned for a moment.
"what happened?"
Mei Cheng'an said.
“Although you guessed that His Majesty would protect you, you can’t rely on His Majesty for everything. His Majesty can help you once or twice, but if it happens too many times, will he still help you?
What if Your Majesty thinks that you depend on me for everything, then what’s the point of having you? It would be better to find someone else and just give up on you. Wouldn’t you be completely finished?
You can't always think that it was His Majesty who dragged you into this situation, and that he owes you something and should cover for you. You'd better get rid of this idea as soon as possible, otherwise it will affect your judgment. Once you make a mistake, you will have no place to complain even if you die!"
