Hearing Fan Xian's words, Chen Pingping couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Fan Xian felt Chen Pingping's strange look and said with a wry smile, "I know what you want to say. I have seen my own future, so I naturally know what the Princess, the Crown Prince, and the Second Prince have done to me."

"To be honest, I don't care about the lives of these Li family members."

"But the people around them, and those who are loyal to Qing Kingdom, have only become loyal because they have accepted the concept of monarch and ministers. I don't think it's worth it to let their lives be buried with these people."

Chen Pingping shook his head and said with some regret: "It's not about whether it's worth it or not. It's just a matter of position. We each serve our own masters!"

"Besides, when dynasties change, there will always be deaths!"

"If you want to achieve great things, you have to be ruthless!"

"You only have half of the four words of cruel and ruthless. How can this be possible?"

Fan Xian smiled and said, "Uncle Chen is right. Compared to other members of the Li family, I am indeed a little soft-hearted, but I don't think this is a shortcoming. Besides, if I were really a ruthless person, would you still help me like this, Uncle Chen?"

Chen Pingping was silent for a moment, then said softly, "You are the young lady's son."

Fan Xian sighed and said, "You are not afraid of making me sad."

Chen Pingping smiled: "I know you are soft-hearted, so you are not afraid."

Fan Xian spread his hands and said with a smile: "Look, let me tell you, being soft-hearted is not a weakness."

Chen Pingping crossed his hands on his knees, looked at Fan Xian with interest and said, "If you don't want to use my method, then what do you want to do?"

Fan Xian smiled bitterly and said, "I said I haven't thought about it yet, do you believe me?"

Chen Pingping thought for a moment and nodded, "I believe it. People with soft hearts are indecisive and it is difficult for them to make long-term plans in a short period of time. You have just joined the Heavenly Court not long ago. You are only confronting me because of your impulsiveness, right?"

Hearing Chen Pingping's casual words, Fan Xian couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Putting aside those extraordinary methods, if it comes to the ability to see through people's minds alone, ten of them would not be a match for Chen Pingping.

Chen Pingping said calmly: "But I guess you should have made some rough decisions in your mind, such as... using the power of heaven."

Fan Xian nodded and said, "Indeed."

Chen Pingping shook his head: "Driving a tiger to devour a wolf is really a bad strategy."

Fan Xian smiled and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Chen. I know what I am doing."

Chen Pingping smiled and shook his head, then waved at Fan Xian.

Fan Xian walked over, squatted beside the wheelchair, and looked at Chen Pingping.

Chen Pingping looked at his features carefully, and in a trance she seemed to see the spirited girl of that year.

He subconsciously reached out his hand and wanted to touch Fan Xian's face.

But just as he raised his arm, he quickly came to his senses, smiled and lowered his hand.

It was Fan Xian who noticed his intention, raised his hand gently, and held his wrinkled old hand.

Chen Pingping's eyes became gentler, and he said softly, "You are still too young. Some things are not as simple as you think."

"I don't understand the affairs of heaven, so I won't say much, but I have seen too much about this world and human hearts."

"Let's not talk about whether the people you find will really help you. Even if they are sincere and will never cling to power, do you think the final result will be better than my plan?"

"You know, Qing is already the strongest country in the world. In and outside of Kyoto, whether it's the common people or the dignitaries, there is a sense of pride in their hearts."

"You let outsiders interfere in Qing's internal affairs. What will the officials in the city think? What will the people of the world think?"

At this point, Chen Pingping paused, then smiled and said, "Okay, let's take a step back. Even if these are not a problem, do you think the number of deaths will be less than with other methods?"

"Let's not talk about the imperial guards in the capital, let's just talk about the officialdom. Except for a very small number of officials who can stay out of it, the others are either loyal to His Majesty or have already chosen to stand between the Crown Prince and the Second Prince."

"If you want to change the dynasty, you still have to purge some of the diehards of the old dynasty."

"They are not all bad people. Some are even well-known and honest officials. But even such people, for the sake of loyalty, are bound to do some stupid things."

"For example, they might crash into the palace and die, or they might curse you among the people, or even organize people to assassinate you."

As he spoke, Chen Pingping glanced at Fan Xian and smiled, "If something like this really happened, what would you do?"

Fan Xian's face changed and he remained silent. It was obvious that he had not considered the possibilities mentioned by Chen Pingping.

Chen Pingping sighed and said, "Now you realize that no matter how you plan to avenge our Majesty, death is inevitable."

Fan Xian was silent for a long time, then said softly, "The questions you raised are too serious. I cannot answer them for the time being."

Chen Pingping was not surprised at all. He sighed softly, patted the back of Fan Xian's hand, and said gently, "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 and use my life to pacify the world..."

Fan Xian stood up in shock and said firmly, "No, absolutely not!"

Chen Pingping smiled and said, "It's okay. If it weren't for seeking justice for your mother, I would have left long ago..."

Fan Xian shook his head decisively and said, "No, I have the support of Heaven, how can I let you bear everything for me again!"

Chen Pingping frowned and said seriously: "The throne is more important, and reputation is just a small matter, not worth mentioning. Besides, as long as you truly control the world and set things right for me, it's just a matter of a word from you!"

Fan Xian still shook his head and said, "I said no, and it's just no."

Chen Pingping looked at him helplessly and said, "Then give me a better plan!"

"Ah, this..." Fan Xian scratched his head awkwardly and said cautiously, "Uncle, how about this, you give me some more time, I will go find someone to learn from you."

Chen Pingping raised his eyebrows: "Heaven?"

Fan Xian nodded honestly: "Brother Mu introduced me to many senior brothers, they are all extremely intelligent people like you."

"I am too young and inexperienced to answer your question right now, but my elder brothers in the Heavenly Court may be able to think of a more appropriate method."

Hearing Fan Xian's sincere words, Chen Pingping's heart moved, and he keenly caught the word "people".

But he did not make it public, but said calmly: "If you want to ask, then go ahead, but I still warn you, you must be careful when dealing with matters in heaven. You must know that there is no love without reason in this world..."

Of course not for no reason!

But it was not easy to tell Chen Pingping about the time traveler.

Fan Xian could only smile and say, "Don't worry, I know my limits 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 as he was pushing the wheelchair, Fan Xian suddenly slapped his head, quickly stopped what he was doing, came to Chen Pingping, looked at his puzzled face and spoke with a smile.

"Oh, Uncle Chen, I asked around for you in the Heavenly Palace and found a way to treat your missing limbs..."

“…”

As soon as these words were spoken, there was finally a noticeable uncontrollable change on Chen Pingping's smiling face.

He opened his mouth first, then stared at Fan Xian blankly and said, "Can Heaven... heal my leg?"

Fan Xian chuckled and moved his gaze downward, landing on Chen Pingping's body without any hesitation.

"Uncle, you didn't listen carefully. I said limb disability, 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 understood what Fan Xian meant, but due to years of inferiority and incompleteness, he subconsciously avoided the topic and did not dare to hope for that glimmer of hope.

But he is Chen Pingping after all, the Chen Pingping who dared to challenge the emperor as a eunuch.

Even though it was something more important than heaven, such as cutting off one's roots and being reborn, in the eyes of the eunuch, he quickly calmed down.

"You are such a disrespectful kid."

Chen Pingping scolded with a smile, but there was no blame in his eyes. Instead, there was a hint of expectation.

Fan Xian's face straightened, and he said seriously, "Uncle, this is a matter concerning our men's affairs, I definitely cannot avoid it!"

We men...

Chen Pingping laughed silently, and a trace of warmth rose in his heart.

Among the people he met in his life, except Ye Qingmei back then, only Fan Xian treated him as a man and an uncle.

If Chen Pingping only loved Fan Xian because of Ye Qingmei, then 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 who doesn't care about his physical disability at all.

Fan Xian continued with a smile, "Uncle, I didn't lie to you. Heaven really does have a way to cure you, but..."

"…Just what?"

Chen Pingping stared at Fan Xian, and a hint of defenseless nervousness finally appeared on his face, which had been expressionless for many years due to his deep scheming.

Fan Xian smiled and said, "Nothing, there are just too many methods and I don't know which one to choose, so I wanted to ask you first."

"...Too many?"

Chen Pingping was slightly stunned, as if he did not expect Fan Xian to answer like this.

Fan Xian stole a glance at Chen Pingping's expression and couldn't help laughing in his heart.

Chen Pingping, who is famous and powerful, would actually be as worried about gains and losses as he is now.

It's really rare!

Fan Xian joked in his heart, but said seriously on the surface: "Although there are many methods, generally speaking, there are actually only two ways. One is to rely on various means to allow the body's flesh and blood to heal and regenerate, which is what people often call 'living the dead, turning flesh into bones'..."

Chen Pingping resisted the urge to agree and asked calmly, "What about the second option?"

Fan Xian blinked his eyes and said solemnly, "Flesh and blood are weak, but machinery can soar!"
