The protagonist of this crossover film and television series is disrupting the plot again.

Chapter 492 Joy of Life 48

Ye Wan gently patted his sister's hand to comfort her, and after she calmed down a bit, he continued to ask, "Sister, has your great-uncle come to the capital?"

Ye Ling'er shook her head, sobbing, "Not yet."

This answer made Ye Wan frown, his doubts deepening.

“My great-uncle and father were very close. Now that my father has passed away, how could he not come?”

Ye Ling'er shook her head again, choking back tears, and said, "The three letters were sent at the same time. Now that you have returned to the capital, my great-uncle must have received them. Perhaps something has delayed his arrival?"

Ye Wan hesitated, but seeing Ye Ling'er's fearful and uneasy eyes, he ultimately did not voice his suspicions.

As a grandmaster, who could possibly hold him back?

The only reason he hasn't come to Kyoto is that he has accepted the current situation and accepted Emperor Qing's instructions to the Ye family.

Having figured this out, Ye Wan couldn't help but grit his teeth inwardly.

Although the Ye family is powerful and has a Grandmaster in charge, they seem to be enjoying great success, but this has also made them a target of the Emperor's suspicion.

If the Ye family shows even the slightest dissatisfaction, His Majesty will not hesitate to eliminate them, even at the cost of national strength.

Now that his father has been brutally murdered, His Majesty used Yan Shendu's life to give an explanation to the Ye family and lavishly rewarded them in an attempt to appease them.

If my great-uncle still refuses, the Ye family will likely face annihilation.

My great-uncle must have seen through this, which is why he chose not to return to the capital.

A wave of sorrow washed over Ye Wan.

The Ye family has served the Qing Kingdom for generations, and the father was especially loyal to His Majesty.

Now that his father has been brutally murdered, His Majesty not only fails to investigate the matter thoroughly but is also eager to quell it, which is truly chilling and appalling.

Ye Wan wanted to ask some other questions, but seeing her sister's haggard appearance, she realized that she had also been suffering recently.

I'm heartbroken, scared, and angry. I'm still keeping vigil by the coffin, but I'm just putting on a brave face.

So he stopped asking questions and simply told Ye Ling'er to go and rest while he pondered who had killed his father.

However, Ye Ling'er had only been gone a short while when she seemed to suddenly remember something important. She hurriedly returned and said to Ye Wan:

“Brother, although Father has never discussed official business with me, he once mentioned unintentionally that Yan Shendu was arranged to join the garrison by the Eldest Princess.”

These words were like a bolt of lightning, piercing through the fog in Ye Wan's mind.

He suddenly raised his head, his gaze fixed intently on Ye Ling'er, his voice tinged with urgency: "Is this true?"

Ye Ling'er nodded firmly, indicating that she had not misheard.

"Princess?" Ye Wan repeated in a low voice, his heart suddenly skipping a beat, as if he had been struck by something heavy.

Since the eldest princess was able to personally arrange for Yan Shendu to join the garrison, she must have a close relationship with Yan Shendu's father, Yan Xiaoyi, and the eldest princess is on the side of the crown prince.

Could it be that the death of her father was actually a conspiracy meticulously planned by the eldest princess and the crown prince?

They deliberately let Yan Shendu get close to his father, looking for an opportunity to strike, and then took the opportunity to fill the important official position of Kyoto garrison commander with their own people, adding a powerful boost to their struggle for the throne.

If that's the case, then His Majesty's desire to quickly quell the matter and prevent its escalation becomes perfectly reasonable.

Thinking of this, Ye Wan couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

……

Ye Zhong and Lin Ruofu were both loyal ministers of the court. Now, one of them has passed away and the other has lost his beloved son. Funerals were held in succession in their mansions. Officials from the capital came to pay their respects. Even Emperor Qing specially sent Crown Prince Li Chengqian to the two mansions to express his condolences.

Li Chengze naturally went as well, but unexpectedly witnessed Fan Xian and Lin Wan'er both being exposed.

As is customary, Fan Jian and Lin Ruofu served in the same court. Now that Lin Ruofu has lost his son, Fan Jian should come to offer condolences and show his grief.

But the problem is, Lin Gong was killed by Fan Xian.

Even if Si Gu Jian was ultimately blamed for this incident, it still wouldn't change the fact.

Now that Fan Jian has brought Fan Xian to appear so openly, what's the difference between this and stabbing Lin Ruofu in the heart?

In particular, Fan Xian himself did not feel that there was anything wrong with killing Lin Gong, and he exuded a self-righteous sense of justice.

This contrasts sharply with Lin Ruofu, who is grieving the loss of his son and looks haggard.

Looking at Fan Xian's nonchalant, even slightly frivolous, demeanor, Lin Ruofu wished he could grab a knife and rush up to him, stabbing him to death on the spot.

It was at this moment that Lin Wan'er, dressed in plain clothes, came out and called out to Lin Ruofu, "Father!"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Fan Xian's heart tightened, and he quickly turned his head to look in the direction of the sound.

However, when his gaze fell upon Lin Wan'er, his eyes widened in disbelief.

Looking at the woman he had been searching for so long, Fan Xian asked with a hint of fear, "Are you Lin Wan'er?"

Lin Wan'er turned her head at the sound and immediately saw Fan Xian. A look of surprise flashed across her face, and her sad eyes lit up instantly, as if she had seen the long-lost sunshine.

But before this joy could blossom, it was interrupted by Lin Ruofu's next words: "Wan'er, do you know Fan Xian?"

This question was like a bolt from the blue!

Lin Wan'er stood frozen in place, staring blankly at Lin Ruofu, her lips trembling slightly, barely able to utter a word.

After a long pause, she finally managed to speak with difficulty: "Father, you...you said he is Fan Xian?"

After receiving confirmation from Lin Ruofu, Lin Wan'er felt dizzy and all her strength was drained away in an instant, making it almost impossible for her to stand.

The stark contrast between those beautiful times and the present reality turned into a knife, tearing her heart apart and leaving it bleeding.

It turns out that the person she had always wanted to break off the engagement with was the one she had been longing for.

It turns out that the murderer who killed her brother was the man she loved.

Fan Xian killed his brother!

Her beloved killed her brother!

At this moment, Lin Wan'er was overwhelmed by endless pain. Her body began to sway, and her vision became blurred.

She reached out to grab something for support, but everything around her became unreal and distant. Finally, everything went black, and she completely fainted.

"Wan'er!" Fan Xian rushed forward anxiously when he saw her suddenly fall, trying to catch her.

However, just as he was about to touch Lin Wan'er, a strong force suddenly pushed him away.

Veins bulged on Lin Ruofu's forehead, his voice filled with threat: "Don't touch my daughter!"

After saying that, she glared at Fan Xian and then took Lin Wan'er back to the backyard.

Fan Xian was left behind, feeling an indescribable, excruciating heartache.

He never dreamed that things would turn out so dramatically.

He and Wan'er fell in love at first sight, but because they concealed their identities from each other, they both considered breaking off their engagement.

Lin Gong sent someone to kill him in order to help his sister break off her engagement; and in order to take revenge, he killed Lin Gong with his own hands.

God!

Fan Xian looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with tears.

Why is God playing such a cruel trick on him?

He actually made him kill Wan'er's own brother with his own hands.

In an instant, a thousand thoughts surged forth—

The joy and shock of reuniting with one's beloved, the remorse and self-blame for killing the beloved's brother, the worry and helplessness of witnessing the beloved faint, and the grief and despair of the possibility that their relationship may end...

A mix of emotions surged forth like a tidal wave, causing Fan Xian a heart-wrenching pain that made it almost impossible for him to breathe.

Fan Jian realized something was wrong and quickly stepped forward to ask, "What's wrong?"

Fan Xian's face was pale, but he only shook his head and remained silent.

Lee Seung-ze, who watched the whole thing from under the eaves: ...

Indeed, emotions can cloud judgment!

Even Fan Xian, a time traveler, is no exception.
