Chapter 1901: Inducing Princess Xi

Princess Xi took two steps back with a look of fear, and opened her mouth to ask for help.

"You'd better not make any sound, otherwise, I can't promise that I won't make you shut up forever." Wu Fan looked at Princess Xi and said lightly.

Princess Xi opened her mouth, but in the end, no sound came out.

"Princess Xi is a smart person." Wu Fan said lightly: "Sit down."

After that, Wu Fan took the lead and sat down.

Although this is Princess Xi's bedroom, it seems that Wu Fan is the owner here at the moment.

Princess Xi was still shocked that Wu Fan appeared here quietly. Hearing Wu Fan's order, she sat down obediently.

"What are you doing here?" Princess Xi asked.

"Save you." Wu Fan said, "and the family behind you."

"Save me?" Princess Xi was slightly stunned, then showed a mocking smile and said, "Do I need you to save me?"

"Yes." Wu Fan nodded affirmatively and said, "Jin Bingli is dead."

Wu Fan's words made Princess Xi's eyes shrink slightly, and then said, "Everyone in Tianxing City knows about this matter, and you don't need to repeat it."

"Your Majesty is very angry." Wu Fan continued, "He is investigating the murderer who killed Jin Bingli. If he knows who killed Jin Bingli, he will definitely avenge Jin Bingli."

Jin Zheyun's love for King Xi Jin Bingli is well known. Although he has never said that he wants to change the crown prince, he first let Jin Bingli marry the daughter of the Xie family, and then found a princess from Yanfeng Kingdom as a concubine for Jin Bingli. This preference is unique among the princes!

How much Jin Zheyun loved Jin Bingli in the past, how painful it was now. If the murderer who killed Jin Bingli was found, Jin Zheyun would never let him go.

However, when Princess Xi heard Wu Fan's words, she was slightly stunned and said, "Isn't it the prince who killed Jin Bingli?"

Although she loved Jin Bingyuan very much, in Princess Xi's heart, Jin Bingyuan was the one who killed Jin Bingli. It was just because of her feelings for Jin Bingyuan that she didn't hate Jin Bingyuan at all.

But now after hearing Wu Fan's words, Princess Xi was confused.

Jin Zheyun couldn't kill the prince Jin Bingyuan for the dead Jin Bingli, otherwise, the impact of this matter would be too great.

"No." Wu Fan shook his head: "Your Majesty already knows that the person who killed Jin Bingli was not the prince Jin Bingyuan."

"How do you know what our Majesty thinks?" Princess Xi asked.

"Because I just came out of the palace." Wu Fan said, "Your Majesty just summoned me, and he said it himself when he was talking to him."

"Why did he tell you this?" Princess Xi still didn't believe Wu Fan's words.

For Jin Zheyun, Wu Fan was just an outsider. Even if Jin Zheyun wanted to discuss things with someone, this person should not be Wu Fan.

At least he had to be from Tianji Country.

So, Princess Xi suspected that Wu Fan was lying.

However, Wu Fan was very calm and said, "Because now everyone thinks that the prince killed King Xi. No matter who your Majesty tells, no one will believe it. Coincidentally, I am also concerned about this matter because of our princess."

"Do you know who killed Jin Bingli?" Princess Xi asked hurriedly.

Princess Xi really wanted to know who killed Jin Bingli. This was not because she wanted to ask for an explanation for her murdered husband, but because she wanted to clear Jin Bingyuan of suspicion.

Although Jin Zheyun did not believe that the crown prince killed King Xi, he had no evidence, and other people would not think so. In this way, under the influence of public opinion and media, Jin Zheyun would most likely take away the position of crown prince Jin Bingyuan, which was not what Princess Xi wanted to see.

Wu Fan shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Wu Fan's answer did not surprise Princess Xi. So many people did not know who the murderer was. It was normal for Wu Fan not to know.

Who knows, Wu Fan did not finish his words. He changed the subject and said, "But I know who your Majesty is suspecting."

"Who?" Princess Xi asked subconsciously.

"Your family!" Wu Fan said, "Xie family!"

"How is it possible?!" Princess Xi screamed, "How could the murderer be our Xie family, and how could His Majesty suspect our Xie family?"

"Why is it impossible?" Wu Fan asked.

"I am the Princess of Xi!" Princess of Xi said, "How could my family kill my husband? How could His Majesty think so?"

"Normally, you would not kill King Xi." Wu Fan looked at Princess of Xi, smiled faintly, and said, "But, is it normal now?"

"This...what do you mean?" Princess of Xi asked.

"Your Majesty already knows about your affair with the prince, and of course, everyone else knows it too." Wu Fan said.

"What does this matter?!" Princess of Xi said in shame and anger.

"It matters a lot!" Wu Fan said, "Your Majesty thinks that you feel that King Xi is in the way because you have transferred your affection to the prince, so you have the intention to harm King Xi."

"I haven't thought about it!" Princess of Xi said.

"Have you ever thought that others don't know." Wu Fan said, "But this possibility exists, and the prince betrayed you."

"What do you mean?" Princess of Xi asked with a tense face.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has put all the blame on you." Wu Fan said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that he was bewitched by you in the previous assassination of our Royal Highness the Princess. Moreover, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also said that you and your family have connections with people from Shuiyue Country. What do you think your Majesty will do after hearing this news?"

"He betrayed me? He actually betrayed me?" Princess Xi said to herself with a painful expression.

Until now, she still believed that the Crown Prince also liked her and that they were in love with each other.

Now Wu Fan's words were like a punch to her, making her dizzy.

"Impossible, this is impossible!" Princess Xi shouted, "You must be lying, he can't betray me!"

Wu Fan smiled and said, "The prince is in danger now. He can't do anything to ensure his position as the prince. He even told your majesty that you arranged all this. You seduced him first, then had someone kidnap Prince Xi, and finally, framed him in public. You are the initiator of all this!"

Wu Fan's words further hit Princess Xi's fragile heart, making her feel miserable.

"Between you and the prince, who do you think your majesty will choose to believe?" Wu Fan said.

Who to choose to believe?

Is there any need to say this?

"There is one more thing." Wu Fan continued, "Your Xie family still has a great influence in Tianji Country. Your Majesty has long wanted to weaken the influence of your Xie family, and this incident is just a pretext. Not only will you be charged with murdering your husband, but your Xie family will also suffer."

This last point was Wu Fan's own guess. He didn't know much about the Xie family, nor was he very clear about the influence of the Xie family in Tianji Country, but he had heard Du Dezhong mention that there were many aristocratic families in Tianji Country, and the Xie family was one of the most powerful aristocratic families.

This reminded Wu Fan of a dynasty in China in the real world, which also had many aristocratic families. The emperors obviously didn't like this situation. They couldn't be willing to see their rights being constrained, so it was almost certain that they wanted to weaken the influence of the aristocratic families.

And Wu Fan's guess was very close to the facts. Jin Zheyun really hated the aristocratic families in Tianji Country and had long wanted to strike them hard, but these aristocratic families had been standing for many years, and it was very difficult to get rid of them.

Now that Jin Bingli has been killed, Jin Zheyun does want to take advantage of this opportunity to weaken the influence of the Xie family.

All things are difficult at the beginning. As long as the Xie family can be defeated, Jin Zheyun believes that things will be much simpler later.

Princess Xi did not know this. Although she was smart, she was a woman after all, and her overall view was not very good. She even thought that Jin Zheyun had always been very friendly and dependent on the aristocratic families in Tianji Country. It was impossible for her to take action against the aristocratic families. Their Xie family could prosper forever.

Now after hearing Wu Fan's words, Princess Xi became more sober, but she was not an ordinary woman after all. She did not completely believe Wu Fan's words, but asked: "How do you know these things?"

"You don't need to care about this." Wu Fan said: "You can believe it or doubt it, but I advise you to tell the family behind you about this. Also, let me remind you one more thing. Your Majesty is likely to take action soon. If your Xie family does not want to suffer a catastrophe, you must be prepared."

After speaking, Wu Fan stood up and left Princess Xi's bedroom.

"Wait!"

Princess Xi wanted to call Wu Fan to ask him clearly, but Wu Fan had no intention of staying at all and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

After Wu Fan left, Princess Xi sat alone in the room. At this time, she no longer had the mind to think about whether Jin Bingli would come to her to kill her. Her heart was full of betrayal by Crown Prince Jin Bingyuan and worry about her family.

Although Princess Xi did not completely believe Wu Fan's words, she was afraid of the worst. After hesitating for a while, she called Xiaohuan and started writing letters. There were two letters in total, one for her family and the other for the palace.

The two letters were sent out quickly. Wu Fan also knew that his few words could not make Princess Xi believe, let alone the Xie family behind her.

So, he still had things to do.

After leaving the Xi Palace, Wu Fan still did not go back, but went to the camp of the Tianlang Army to talk to Du Dezhong.

When Wu Fan arrived at the Tianlang Army camp, Du Dezhong just came back from the palace, and the two met outside the camp.

"General Wu, why are you here?" Du Dezhong asked.

"I have something to ask you." Wu Fan said.
