The real culprit behind Fan Xian's death in the Qing years was Lin Gong. Lin Gong was Lin Wan 'er's older brother, and also the Crown Prince and Eldest Princess's man.

This made Lin Gong very angry.
The reason Fan Xian was killed was because the Second Prince had sent Xie Bi 'an to intercept Fan Xian's diplomatic mission and threaten Fan Xian to submit to him.
