I just want to live a good life

Chapter 459 About Fanli

Su Nuan said something in Song Qi's ear again, and Song Qi left with peace of mind.

The matter of the glass bracelet came to an end, and Su Nuan left Duobao Pavilion with a silver note worth 10,000 taels.

There are more important things than Xun Zheng's money.

The carriage hurried towards the general's mansion.

The poison in Xia Changxiao's body has been almost cleared, and these days he has started going out to meet colleagues and friends as if nothing had happened.

On the contrary, Xia Changze, who pretended to be sick for him, was a little abnormal. He was a person who could not be locked up in the past, but he stayed at home obediently these days and did not even leave the room.

Su Nuan met her elder brother who was about to go out at the gate of the general's mansion.

As soon as the two met, Su Nuan subconsciously asked Xia Changxiao: "Where are you going?"

Xia Changxiao immediately put on a serious face and replied, "It's urgent. I have to go out for a while."

"Nothing is more important than mine. Come back with me."

"I really have something important to do. We can talk about your matter another day."

Xia Changxiao was about to leave as he spoke. He really hadn't figured out how to face the fact that his own sister was not a good concubine of the Crown Prince and insisted on pursuing freedom.

Su Nuan stepped forward and stood in front of Xia Changxiao, frowning and saying, "Is drinking with colleagues a serious matter?"

After his lie was exposed, Xia Changxiao blushed, and then said helplessly: "Little sister, your matter is not a small matter, you have to let me think about it again."

A few days ago, Su Nuan mentioned to her eldest brother that she wanted to leave the prince and live a free and easy life. For this reason, the two siblings had a chase battle in the general's mansion.

But today Su Nuan came to see Xia Changxiao not for this matter.

"I didn't look for Big Brother for that matter."

"What's that for?"

"Go in and talk."

After Su Nuan finished speaking, she stepped over the threshold and walked towards the door. When she passed by Xia Changxiao, she felt worried and grabbed the latter's sleeve.

The two of them came to the inner courtyard, and Su Nuan brought Xia Changxiao to the door of Xia Lian's study.

"Dad went to the military camp early in the morning and is not in the mansion."

"I know. I'll borrow Daddy's study for a while."

In the entire general's mansion, Xia Lian's study is the most suitable place to discuss important matters.

Seeing that his younger sister chose to talk about this, Xia Changxiao knew that what she was about to say was no joke, and his expression became serious involuntarily.

The brother and sister entered the study. As soon as the door was closed, Su Nuan spoke: "Brother, tell me about Fan Liren."

"Fan Li?"

Xia Changxiao looked at Su Nuan in surprise.

"Ye Xiaobai next to me is from Fanli. His parents were killed eleven years ago. I don't know if this incident is related to the fact that they are from Fanli. I have no idea at all. Brother, tell me about the people from Fanli. I want to know more and see if I can come up with something."

this......

It sounds a bit unreliable.

Xia Changxiao frowned and pondered for a moment before selecting a few stories about Fan Li to tell Su Nuan.

The first one is the closest to the present, which happened eight years ago. The remnants of the former dynasty of Fanli attempted to support the former crown prince as king, and contacted various forces to stir up a disturbance in Fanli.

Among the forces they contacted, there was a force hidden in the Nanzhao Kingdom.

This force was a threat to both Fanli and Nanzhao, so when Cheng Ji produced evidence to incriminate Xun Yu, the emperor had no doubts and punished Xun Yu with thundering means.

The second paragraph is about an incident that happened in Fanli country more than 20 years ago.

The people of Fanli believe in the First Ancestor and think that the Saint is the First Ancestor's messenger among them, so the Saint has a very high status in the hearts of the people of Fanli, even far exceeding that of the royal family.

A saint cannot marry or have children and must remain pure throughout her life.

The inheritance of the Saint is also very special. The current Saint must personally find a young girl among the people before the age of 25. The girl will be raised by the Saint herself until she takes over the position of the Saint at the age of 18.

After the royal family of the previous Fanli dynasty was overthrown, the new King Fanli came to the throne. He had seized the throne, so he was afraid that others would covet his position. In order to prevent the Saint's status from threatening his rule, the current King Fanli forced the Saint to accept the person he designated as her successor.

The saint did not accept this arrangement and was imprisoned by the new King Fanli.

Later, the saint was rescued by her four guardians. Some said she was killed while escaping, while others said she escaped from the Kingdom of Fanli.

In short, there has been no trace of the Saint since then, and the inheritance of the Saint in Fanli has been broken.

The third paragraph is a secret about the last Saint of Fanli. It is said that this Saint was not selected from the people by the previous Saint, but was the biological daughter of the previous Saint.

After the three unrelated but thought-provoking stories ended, Su Nuan thought for a moment and asked, "Brother, why did you choose these three things to tell me?"

Xia Changxiao shrugged and replied, "I don't know either. Maybe I was impressed when I heard about these things. Just now, when you asked me to talk about Fan Li, these were the first things I thought of."

"Brother is just impressed?"

Su Nuan asked.

Xia Changxiao smiled mysteriously and said, "Third brother is right. It seems that you have become smarter after getting married. Your brain is getting better and better."

This was Su Nuan’s answer. He was not only deeply impressed, but he also had follow-up plans for these three stories.

"My brain is no match for Big Brother's tactics. Tell me, have you found anything?"

Xia Changxiao laughed and continued, "Regarding the first part of the story, the follow-up has been investigated by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so there is no need to explain it. As for the last two parts of the story, I did find out some things that others don't know. The last Saint of Fanli is not dead, and she was escorted to Nanzhao by her guardians."

"You said the Saint is in Nanzhao?"

Su Nuan had also guessed about this follow-up, but she was still surprised when Xia Changxiao said it so confidently.

"That's right. The last place the five of them appeared was in Nanzhao. As for where they went afterwards, it is unknown."

"What about the identity of this saint?"

Su Nuan continued to ask.

"She is the daughter of the previous King Fanli."

After hearing this, Su Nuan was even more surprised, "That is to say, this Saint Lady and the current King Fanli are enemies!"

"Yes."

Su Nuan was speechless for a long time, as if she was trying to digest this shocking secret.

"Don't be so surprised. This kind of thing has happened more than once in Fanli. Several saints before her have also had the experience of secretly giving birth to children. It's just that this one is special."

Xia Changxiao said so.

Think about a young girl in her prime who cannot get married or have children in her lifetime. She certainly cannot have a normal relationship. It is not surprising that she develops some rebellious thoughts when she is controlled so strictly at this age when her love is budding.

Just having a child with the king was quite surprising.

Suddenly, Su Nuan seemed to have thought of something. She tilted her head and looked at Xia Changxiao, and asked, "How did you know such a secret, big brother?"
