Hearing Fan Xian’s words, Chen Pingping couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows.
Fan Xian felt the strange look in Chen Pingping’s eyes and said with a wry smile: “I know what you want to say. I have seen my future, so I naturally know what the eldest princess, the prince, and the second prince have done to me.”
“To tell you the truth, I actually don’t care about the lives of these Li family members.”
“But the people around them, as well as those who are loyal to the Qing Kingdom, have become foolishly loyal just because they accepted the concept of monarchs and ministers. I don’t think it’s worth letting their lives be buried with these people.”
Chen Pingping shook her head and said with a bit of hatred: “There is no such thing as whether it is worth it or not. It is just a matter of position, and everyone is their own master!”
“Besides, when dynasties change, no one will die!”
“If you want to achieve something big, you have to be ruthless!”
“You only account for half of the four words “cruel and ruthless”. How can this be possible?”
Fan Xian smiled and said: “Uncle Chen is right. Compared to other Li family members, I am indeed soft-hearted, but I don’t think this is a shortcoming. Besides, if I were really cruel and ruthless, how would you still help me like this, Uncle Chen?” me?”
Chen Pingping was silent for a moment and said softly: “You are the young lady’s son.”
Fan Xian sighed: “You are not afraid of my sadness.”
A smile appeared on Chen Pingping’s face: “I know you are soft-hearted, so I’m naturally not afraid.”
Fan Xian spread his hands and said with a smile, “Look, let me tell you, being soft-hearted is not a shortcoming.”
Chen Pingping crossed her hands and placed them on her knees. She looked at Fan Xian with interest and said, “If you don’t want to use my method, what do you want to do?”
Fan Xian smiled bitterly and said, “I said I haven’t thought about it yet. Do you believe it?”
Chen Pingping thought for a while, nodded and said: “I believe that it is difficult for a soft-hearted person to make any long-term plans in a short time because of his indecisiveness. You just joined Tianting not long ago, and you came to me for a showdown. It should be just a temporary rush of passion, right? “
Hearing Chen Pingping’s understatement, Fan Xian couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
Putting aside those extraordinary methods, in terms of insight into people’s hearts, even ten of them would not be Chen Pingping’s opponent.
Chen Pingping said calmly: “But I guess you should have already made some rough decisions in your mind, such as… using the power of heaven.”
Fan Xian nodded and said, “That’s true.”
Chen Pingping shook her head: “Driving the tiger to swallow the wolf is really the best strategy.”
Fan Xian smiled and said, “Uncle Chen, don’t worry, I have my own sense of proportion.”
Chen Pingping smiled and shook her head, then waved to Fan Xian.
Fan Xian walked over, squatted next to the wheelchair, and looked at Chen Pingping.
Chen Pingping looked at his features carefully, and in a trance she seemed to see the energetic girl from back then.
He subconsciously reached out his hand, wanting to touch Fan Xian’s face.
But just as he raised his arm, he quickly came to his senses and dropped his hand with a smile.
Fan Xian sensed his intention and gently raised his hand to hold his old wrinkled palm.
Chen Pingping’s eyes became gentler and she said warmly: “You are still too young. Some things are not as simple as you think.”
“I don’t understand the things in heaven, so I won’t say much, but I have seen too much in this world and people’s hearts.”
“Not to mention whether the people you find will sincerely help you, even if they are sincere and have no desire to gain power, do you think the final result will be better than my plan?”
“You must know that Qingguo is already the most powerful country in the world. Both the common people and the powerful, both inside and outside Kyoto, have a sense of arrogance in their hearts.”
“If you allow outsiders to interfere in Qing’s internal affairs, what will the courtiers all over the city think, and what will the people all over the world think?”
At this point, Chen Pingping paused and then said with a smile: “Okay, let’s take a step back. Even if these are not problems, do you think there will be fewer people dying than other methods?”
“Let’s not talk about the imperial army in the imperial capital, let’s talk about the officialdom. Except for a very small number of officials who can stay out of the matter, the others are either loyal to His Majesty, or they have already chosen sides between the Crown Prince and the Second Prince.”
“If you want to change the dynasty, you still have to clear out some die-hard loyalists of the old dynasty.”
“Not all of them are evil people, some are even notoriously honest and upright officials, but even such people will inevitably do some stupid things for the sake of their loyalty.”
“For example, you were killed in a collision in front of the palace, you were yelled at by the public, or even organized to assassinate you.”
As she said that, Chen Pingping glanced at Fan Xian and said with a smile, “What would you do if something like this really happened?”
Fan Xian’s expression changed and he remained silent. Apparently, he had not considered the possibilities mentioned by Chen Pingping.
Chen Pingping sighed softly: “Now you realize, no matter how you plan to take revenge on our Majesty, death is inevitable.”
Fan Xian was silent for a long time and said softly: “The questions you asked are too heavy and I can’t answer them yet.”
Chen Pingping was not surprised. He sighed softly, patted the back of Fan Xian’s hand, and said warmly: “If you can’t do it, then I will do it, and I will bear the blame. When the dynasty changes, you can kill me. Use my old life to appease the world…”
Fan Xian stood up in shock and asserted: “No, absolutely not!”
Chen Pingping smiled and said: “It doesn’t matter. If it weren’t for seeking justice for your mother, I should have gone down long ago…”
Fan Xian shook his head decisively and said: “No, I have Heaven as my backer, how can I let you bear everything for me again!”
Chen Pingping frowned and said solemnly: “The throne is the most important thing, reputation is just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning. Besides, as long as you truly control the world and bring things right out of chaos for me, it’s just a matter of your words!”
Fan Xian still shook his head and said, “I told you no, it just can’t be done.”
Chen Pingping looked at him helplessly and said, “Then you can give me a better plan!”
“Ah…” Fan Xian scratched his head in embarrassment and said cautiously, “Uncle, if not, please give me some more time and I’ll find someone to learn from.”
Chen Pingping raised her eyebrows: “Heaven?”
Fan Xian nodded honestly: “Brother Mu has introduced me to many senior brothers. They are all extremely smart people like you.”
“I am too young and have too little experience to answer your questions, but my senior brothers in heaven may be able to think of a more suitable method.”
Hearing Fan Xian’s sincere words, Chen Pingping’s heart moved and she keenly captured the word ‘person’.
But he didn’t say anything, and just said calmly: “If you want to ask, then go ahead and ask. However, I still warn you that you must be careful in dealing with matters in heaven. You must know that there is never anything in this world without a reason.” like……”
Of course not for no reason!
But it was hard to tell Chen Pingping about the time traveler.
Fan Xian could only smile and say, “Don’t worry, I do have my own sense of discretion in this matter.”
Chen Pingping nodded slightly, let go of Fan Xian’s hand, and said with a smile: “Push me out.”
Fan Xian nodded, stood up, walked behind Chen Pingping, and put his hands on the wheelchair.
Just when he was pushing the wheelchair, Fan Xian suddenly slapped his head, quickly stopped what he was doing, came to Chen Pingping, looked at his confused face and spoke with a smile.
“By the way, Uncle Chen, I did some research for you in Heaven and found a way to cure your mutilated limbs…”
“…”
As soon as these words came out, Chen Pingping’s smiling face finally showed an obviously uncontrollable change.
He opened his mouth first, then looked at Fan Xian blankly and said, “Heaven…can he heal my leg?”
Fan Xian chuckled and moved his gaze downwards, landing between Chen Pingping’s legs without hesitation.
“Uncle, you didn’t listen carefully. I’m talking about missing limbs, not just legs!”
“…”
Hearing Fan Xian’s clear words, Chen Pingping couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment, and seemed to finally react.
Or perhaps, he had already heard what Fan Xian meant, but because of his years of inferiority and disability, he subconsciously avoided the topic and did not dare to hope for the faintest hope.
But he is Chen Pingping after all, the Chen Pingping who dared to challenge the emperor as a eunuch.
Even if it was something as big as the sky in the eunuch’s heart, like cutting off roots and being reborn, he quickly calmed down.
“You kid, no matter how big or small you are.”
Chen Pingping laughed and scolded, but instead of blaming her, there was a hint of expectation in her eyes.
Fan Xian’s face straightened up and he said seriously: “Uncle, it’s an important matter for our men, and I definitely can’t avoid it!”
Our boys…
Chen Pingping laughed dumbly, and a trace of warmth could not help but rise in her heart.
Except for Ye Qingmei back then, Fan Xian was the only person he had met in his life who would treat him as a man and an uncle.
If Chen Pingping loved Fan Xian before just because of Ye Qingmei’s existence, now, after this heart-to-heart talk, he has truly accepted Fan Xian.
This is a good boy who is as soft-hearted and kind-hearted as his mother, and doesn’t care at all about his physical disability.
Fan Xian continued to smile and said: “Uncle, I didn’t lie to you. Heaven really has a way to cure you, but…”
“…just what?”
Chen Pingping stared at Fan Xian, and the face that had been expressionless for many years because of his deep scheming finally showed a trace of unguarded nervousness.
Fan Xian smiled and said, “It’s nothing, it’s just that there are too many methods. I don’t know which one to choose at the moment, so I wanted to ask you first.”
“……Too much?”
Chen Pingping was slightly stunned, as if she didn’t expect Fan Xian to answer like this.
Fan Xian secretly glanced at Chen Pingping’s expression and couldn’t help but feel happy.
Chen Pingping, who is famous and powerful all over the world, can actually worry about gains and losses like she is now.
How rare!
Fan Xian was joking in his heart, but said sternly: “Although there are many methods, from a general perspective, there are actually two ways. One is to rely on various means to allow the body’s flesh and blood to heal and regenerate itself, which is what people often say ‘Living dead, flesh and bones’…”
Chen Pingping resisted the urge to agree and asked calmly: “What about the second way?”
Fan Xian blinked his eyes and said solemnly: “The flesh and blood are weak, but the machine is soaring!”
