"My lord, Wan'er has made a mistake... Please punish me."
Lin Wan'er's fair skin began to blush slowly, making her even more charming and beautiful.
Li Chang'an was secretly amazed; this woman was too amazing!
Half a month later, at the Fan residence.
Chen Pingping came to visit Fan Xian, which made Fan Xian feel flattered.
The head of the investigation department looked at Fan Xian, who was recovering, with a fatherly smile and doting gaze.
"Fan Xian, your health has recovered. How was it cured?"
"Did Wu Zhu help? Where did he go?"
Since Chen Pingping returned to the capital, he has treated Fan Xian like a son or nephew, taking great care of him.
After the last internal strife within the Supervisory Council, Chen Pingping actually declared in front of all the officials that Fan Xian would be his successor.
It was from that moment that Fan Xian realized that his mother was indeed quite charming.
Because of Ye Qingmei, Chen Pingping and Fan Jian were genuinely going to mentor him.
"Dean Chen, Uncle Wuzhu has his own business to attend to. My internal energy will recover soon."
Fan Xian, at Wu Zhu's request, did not mention that Wu Zhu and Ku He had fought and both were seriously injured.
But Chen Pingping was already very happy that the child could say that, since the child still believed him.
"Li Yunrui has lost control of the inner treasury and will be temporarily managed by Princess Yichen for one year."
Looking at Chen Pingping's smiling expression, Fan Xian couldn't help but ask, "Dean, what about the leaflets..."
Chen Pingping smiled mysteriously, "Wu Zhu has always been secretive about his actions, so just consider this as something I did."
"Li Yunrui did not leave the capital because His Majesty feared she would die at the hands of Ku He. A year of confinement is not a light punishment."
Fan Xian was completely baffled; what did this have to do with Wu Zhu?
Chen Pingping then said something, her eyes filled with determination.
“I know you hate her for trying to assassinate you. I assure you, one day she will die, and she will not have a good end.”
Fan Xian quickly said, "She has targeted me many times, I must kill her!"
The dean needs to deal with her; he can't let you get involved.
Chen Pingping said with relief, "Don't worry, I have my own plans."
"By the way, I guess His Majesty means that if you perform well in the coming year, the Imperial Treasury will still be given to you."
"I think the Internal Treasury is meaningless; taking over the Supervisory Council is the foundation for my career."
But the inner treasury was left by your mother; I'll help you get it back if you want.
Having experienced a series of upheavals since arriving in the capital, Fan Xian can no longer remain uninvolved.
"Dean, I used to think about going back to Danzhou."
But now it seems that once you're in, there's no turning back.
Chen Pingping smiled again, "You can go back. After you kill everyone who can threaten your safety, you can go wherever you want."
"In a while, Xiao En will be sent back to Northern Qi. His Majesty's intention is for you to be the chief envoy to Northern Qi this time."
Fan Xian nearly jumped out of bed. "They want me to go on a mission to Northern Qi! Does His Majesty know that my internal energy is almost recovered?"
Chen Pingping smiled smugly, "There are few things in the capital that can be hidden from His Majesty."
The implication was that if anything was kept from His Majesty, it must have been the work of Chen Pingping.
"Your Majesty has a guess: did Wu Zhu beat up Ku He and steal the Heavenly Dao Technique from you?"
"Wu Zhu and Ku He were both severely injured, so Ku He never came to retaliate or kill anyone."
Fan Xian did not deny that the more he talked to these old men, the more flaws he would reveal, so it was better to keep quiet.
The Heavenly Dao Method excels at healing and recovery. Although Emperor Qing's guess was completely wrong, the facts matched up.
"Fan Xian, you can rest assured to head north. The delegation will be secretly escorted by Black Riders."
"Fan Jian will also lend you guards, so safety won't be a problem."
Fan Xian suddenly asked, "Will there be any danger on the road?"
"The eldest princess has lost power and harbors resentment towards you. I will send people to protect you and prevent her from secretly harming you."
"This trip to Northern Qi is both a test and an opportunity, but we must bring Yan Bingyun back."
After Chen Pingping left, Guo Baokun, a frequent visitor to the Fan residence, arrived.
As soon as Guo Shao saw Fan Xian, he knelt down by the bed.
"Brother Fan, my father has been arrested, and nobody in the entire capital cares about me, but you're the only one who's willing to see me!"
Fan Xian said helplessly, "Your father befriended the Eldest Princess and was arrested by the Imperial Guards. No one can save him."
Guo Shao was so anxious he almost kowtowed, "Brother Fan, you have a Grandmaster behind you, and His Majesty values you highly."
Please help me, save my father!
"Guo is well-versed in history and has read extensively in military strategy. He also has the potential to become a great general. He is willing to serve Brother Fan with utmost loyalty!"
Although Guo Shao messed up all the things he was supposed to help, he was one of the people who genuinely helped Fan Xian.
"Young Master Guo, I can't help you right now. I'll try to find a way after I recover and return from Northern Qi. What do you think?"
Guo Baokun was overjoyed; finally, someone was willing to help. "Thank you so much, Brother Fan!"
"If Brother Fan needs anything, I, Guo, will have no objection!"
Time flies, and at the beginning of the fourth year of the Qingli era, the Langya Pavilion released its list of winners.
Fan Xian entered the capital in the late spring of the fourth year of the Qingli era, and now it is early winter.
The time for Fan Xian to escort Xiao En back to Northern Qi has been set: after the Spring Festival next year.
The Yunmen Poetry Gathering of the Northern Qi Dynasty was held on the third day of the third lunar month of the following year, the Shangsi Festival.
Therefore, the timing of Li Chang'an's journey north and Fan Xian's departure were not significantly different.
Prince Yong's Mansion.
In Li Chang'an's room.
With Xiren and Qingwen both borrowed by Lin Wan'er, Jingni became very busy.
Jing Ni sat in Li Chang'an's lap with a blush on her face. "Little Ni, your legs are so long. I need to measure how long they are."
Li Chang'an's hand began to measure little by little on her shapely, slender legs, "One foot, two feet..."
As she was measuring, Jingni's fishnet stockings fell to the ground.
Jing Ni, her body trembling, pleaded desperately, "Your Highness, please don't tease me..."
Li Chang'an said seriously, "The length of the outer side and the length of the inner side seem to be different."
"Don't measure it anymore."
She used to mock Xiren and Qingwen, saying they couldn't hold out for long and would beg for mercy, that they were too delicate.
But now it was her turn, and her voice soon became hoarse.

With the "Yi Jin Jing" technique, Li Chang'an has only two cycles left: the sixth cycle at the White-level Pagoda and the seventh cycle at the Black-level Pagoda.
The White-Level Floating Pagoda is a process of strengthening the ability to control true qi. After mastering the White-Level Floating Pagoda, the true qi in each acupoint can penetrate three zhang (approximately 10 meters) through the body.
The Black-level Pagoda represents the ultimate development of the physical body, with the entire body serving as a repository for true energy, which is inexhaustible.
After reaching a state where his entire body can contain true energy, the Black-level Floating Pagoda can continue to strengthen itself, its combat power multiplies, and it becomes the most powerful grandmaster in the world!
Throughout the entire winter of the fourth year of the Qingli era, Li Chang'an devoted himself to the arduous practice of the White-Level Pagoda.
To break through to the Grandmaster level, one needs to cultivate all 720 acupoints in the body. Li Chang'an has already cultivated more than 200 acupoints in one winter.
The power of his various martial arts techniques has increased considerably compared to when he fought Wu Zhu.
The reason he could cultivate so quickly was because the foundation laid by the first few cycles of the Yi Jin Jing allowed him to absorb the primordial energy of heaven and earth with exceptionally high efficiency.
Sean has the Heavenly Dao Technique in his mind. This technique places the greatest emphasis on the control of true qi. If Li Chang'an can obtain it, his cultivation progress will be even faster.
In the fifth year of the Qingli era, after the Spring Festival.
Before we knew it, it was time to set off for Northern Qi.
Li Chang'an has many things to do on this trip north.
Sean's Heavenly Dao Technique is something we absolutely must obtain.
I visited the Western Qin Kingdom a year ago, and now I must go and see it again.
Ku He also needs to be dealt with. If the ruler of Western Qin beats Ku He up, Northern Qi will have no choice but to acquiesce to Western Qin's growing power.
The Yunmen Poetry Gathering is an opportunity to make a name for himself, and through this grand event, Li Chang'an is confident that he can elevate his literary ranking to the highest level.
