"The eldest princess?"
Why would she do that?
Chen Qingfeng smiled slightly and explained:
"What else could it be?"
"You have come to the capital by imperial decree to complete the marriage bestowed by Emperor Qing and to happily marry Lin Wan'er."
"At that time, the financial control of the inner treasury will also be transferred to you."
"The eldest princess doesn't want to lose control of the Imperial Treasury, so it's perfectly normal for her to take action against you."
After Chen Qingfeng said that, Fan Xian's face turned extremely ugly.
The thought of the eldest princess's wickedness only intensified his hatred.
If it weren't for the Dragon Elephant Pill that Chen Qingfeng gave him, he and Teng Zijing would probably have both lost their lives on Niulan Street.
After a moment's thought, Fan Xian asked:
"Brother Chen says this was done by the Eldest Princess. Do you have any evidence?"
Chen Qingfeng shook his head and said:
"I have no evidence, and even if I were to investigate, I wouldn't find anything."
"Just know in your heart who wants to harm you, and you can get revenge when you have the chance."
Fan Xian glanced at himself, looking thoughtful.
The assassination attempt on Niulan Street was so dangerous that even now, thinking about it still makes him feel a chill.
After a moment of contemplation, Fan Xian bowed deeply to Chen Qingfeng:
"Regardless, I still thank you very much, Brother Chen."
"I will be careful to guard against the Princess."
Chen Qingfeng nodded 371, then changed the subject 119:
"Young Master Fan, the way the Eldest Princess treats you is truly insidious and ruthless."
"Don't you want to get revenge on her?"
Fan Xian paused for a moment, glanced at Chen Qingfeng, and asked:
"Brother Chen, what do you mean?"
Chen Qingfeng didn't hesitate and took out the bewitching poison from his pocket.
"This is a poison I developed myself, called 'Bewitching Fire Poison,' which is not fatal."
"The eldest princess supports the Crown Prince. Find an opportunity to administer this bewitching poison to the Crown Prince."
Upon hearing Chen Qingfeng's words, Fan Xian was greatly surprised.
Unexpectedly, Chen Qingfeng was so audacious that he actually thought of poisoning the Crown Prince.
In addition, Chen Qingfeng had clearly stated in a letter he wrote to him earlier that he wanted to rebel against Emperor Qing.
"What's going on with Chen Qingfeng?"
"As fellow time travelers, he shouldn't have any deep-seated hatred towards the Qing Kingdom's royal family, right?"
"Could it be that he intends to overthrow the Nanqing royal family and become the emperor himself?"
Fan Xian was lost in thought and began to doubt Chen Qingfeng's motives.
"Young Master Fan?"
Seeing that Fan Xian hadn't moved for a long time, Chen Qingfeng called out softly.
Fan Xian, regaining his composure, took the bewitching poison from Chen Qingfeng's hand and replied:
"Brother Chen, poisoning the Crown Prince is no small matter."
"However... I'll think about it."
At this point, Fan Xian paused slightly before continuing:
"Furthermore, I will find a way to cancel the marriage arranged by His Majesty."
"break off an engagement?"
Chen Qingfeng exclaimed in surprise.
Fan Xian nodded and hummed in agreement:
"I have never met Lin Wan'er before, how can I commit to her for life?"
"Not to mention, she is the daughter of the wicked princess."
With that, Fan Xian took a deep breath, looked gratefully at Chen Qingfeng, and then took his leave.
Watching Fan Xian turn and leave, Chen Qingfeng glanced at him.
"Brother!"
"You were the one who took the initiative to break off the engagement."
"In that case, I, as the older brother, have no choice but to step up!"
……
Meanwhile, news of the assassination on Niulan Street spread like wildfire.
Soon, this incident became the most shocking news in Kyoto.
Kyoto, the capital of Qing Kingdom, was already heavily guarded, and even ordinary murder cases were extremely rare.
What's more, it was in broad daylight that he attempted to assassinate the eldest son of Fan Jian, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, in the street.
Although this eldest son has not been recorded in the family genealogy to this day.
But this case is different from Xiao He's; the assassin was clearly there to kill.
In addition, archers were even used in the assassination attempt.
In the capital city of Kyoto, someone was able to kill people with archers. This has crossed the line of the imperial court's rule!

Chapter 55: The Eldest Princess is dumbfounded, Fan Xian isn't dead?! Chen Qingfeng ruined my plans!
Guangxin Palace.
Princess Li Yunrui was enjoying tea and admiring the flowers, feeling quite relaxed and happy.
Thinking that with Cheng Jushu, an eighth-rank expert from Northern Qi, taking action would be a piece of cake to kill Fan Xian.
Just then, a maidservant hurried over.
As they approached, a maid whispered a few words in the princess's ear.
Upon hearing what the maid said, the princess was immediately shocked.
"what?"
"Failed?"
"Fan Xian survived and even seriously injured Cheng Jushu?"
The princess's eyes widened suddenly, like two bright stars.
Her lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to say something.
He was speechless for a moment, just sitting there blankly, his eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief.
At this moment, the maid reported:
"Fan Xian was originally going to be killed."
"But at the crucial moment, it was as if he had taken a elixir."
"It was only because my strength has greatly increased that I escaped this calamity."
Upon hearing what the maid said, the princess frowned and fell into deep thought.
"Elixir?"
"Can it greatly increase one's strength after consumption?"
"Could it be...that he?"
Suddenly, the image of Chen Qingfeng appeared in the princess's mind.
Before this, Chen Qingfeng had given Lin Wan'er a pill to suppress her illness.
Now, Fan Xian has escaped certain death again thanks to a pill.
It was easy for the eldest princess to connect the two matters.
"You bastard, Chen Qingfeng!"
"Are you determined to oppose me?"
The princess frowned, recalling the events that had occurred when she invited Chen Qingfeng to Guangxin Palace.
At that time, she tried every means to seduce Chen Qingfeng, even taking off her clothes in front of him.
But Chen Qingfeng remained unmoved.
Subsequently, the eldest princess arranged for Yan Xiaoyi to test Chen Qingfeng's martial arts skills.
Unexpectedly, Chen Qingfeng drew his bow like a full moon and shot an arrow that shattered her palace gate, demonstrating the strength of a Grandmaster.
"Chen Qingfeng, since you want to play, then I'll play along with you."
You can't escape my grasp!
Thinking of this, the princess's brows relaxed, revealing a charming smile.
