"Shut up!" Shangguan Pi interrupted Awan coldly, "What do you know and come to scold me? My family, those Shangguan clans are worthy of me? Do you know how they treat me? I come from a lowly family in the Shangguan family. Everyone named Shangguan can boss me around. In their eyes, I am nothing more than an ant, so what does it matter if I am crushed to death? Now I want them to see, who is the ant?"
Awan retorted angrily: "What about Shangguan Linglan? She treats you sincerely, anyway..."
"Anyway, what?" Shangguan Fei smiled extremely sarcastically, "She is just because her grandmother died and there is no one to take care of her. She thought that I could take care of her, so she clung to me and treated her sincerely. That is what you women are capable of." Will believe it."
"How can a person like you be sincere?" A Wan was furious and was about to curse, but was stopped by Fang Zilan's look.
"It's almost dawn, I'm tired." Fang Zilan leaned back on the armrest of the main seat and said in a deep voice: "Shangguan Fei, how do you plan to end this matter?"
"After talking for so long, Mr. Fang finally got to the point." Shangguan Fei leaned back in his wheelchair, his lips curled up slightly, "This matter is a collusion between Shangguan Linglan and Huo Sanniang, internally and externally. Mr. Fang just wants to do this with Mr. Zhong Yao. Just say it. Firstly, the suspicion on Mr. Fang can be cleared, and secondly, if Mr. Fang lets me go this time, I will definitely help you build the Northern Protectorate in the future."
"You are very well informed." Fang Zilan pressed her forehead, her expression a bit colder, "If I let you go, will you let me go?"
Shangguan Fei was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Fang Zilan to ask such a question.
Just when he was about to say something, he heard her say in a cold voice: "Those of us who are on the opposite side have never been either you die or I live. You will not let me go, and I will naturally not let you go. I can't do this kind of thing when the woman who put the blame on me comes out to take the blame."
Shangguan Fei chuckled, "I thought Master Fang was decisive in killing, but I didn't expect that he would show mercy to women."
"Don't make any mistake, I am not merciful to women." Fang Zilan's expression became even colder, "I just don't want to let go of the real mastermind."
"Does Master Fang know how to assess the situation better than Master Zhong Yao?" Shangguan Fei only found it funny, "Master Zhong Yao knows how to weigh the pros and cons, but Master Fang doesn't know how to live in peace and contentment?"
"It is precisely because I can see the situation clearly that I know that if I let you go, I will be the one who dies." Fang Zilan dug her fingernails into her palms calmly, leaving red marks, "You have no heirs It’s a trick, you might as well admit defeat.”
"Admit defeat?" Shangguan Pei laughed suddenly, "Why should I admit defeat? Why do you think I have to talk to you so much, Mr. Fang? Did you feel anything wrong when you were drinking tea just now?"
Fang Zilan sighed softly, "Shangguan Fei, you know that I am not easy to get rid of, and you still use such dirty tricks as poisoning, do you think I will fall for it?"
As if someone had exposed his thoughts, Shangguan Fei's face was full of disbelief, "What did you say?"
"You deliberately poisoned yourself and cut yourself. When I helped you bandage the wound, it was contaminated with your blood. This poison can seep into my body through the skin and becomes stronger when it comes into contact with water. Let me think about what kind of poison this is? "Fang Zilan said it in an understatement, and Awan couldn't help but rush up and grab Shangguan Fei's collar, "You bastard!"
"Miss Awan, it's useless for you to be anxious and angry. Only I know the antidote to this poison." Shangguan Fei said and broke away from Awan's hand, "Instead of doing this, you might as well advise your master Fang to do as I say. Do it. After the matter is over, I will definitely give you the antidote with both hands."
This time it was Fang Zilan's turn to laugh out loud, "Shangguan Fei, look at my appearance now. Are there any signs that I have been poisoned by the poison you said?"
"This..." Shangguan Fei looked at Fang Zilan. She looked natural and acted normally, with no sign of poisoning at all.
His eyes widened in disbelief, "This is impossible."
Fang Zilan still just smiled, "You are still a bit young. Even if Shangguan Linglan is helpless, those old Shangguan people who support you, do you think I can't find out if you don't tell me? I will go back to Yanzhou City this time. I have done a lot of research before, and since you have helped me rule out Zhao Jinqian, among the powerful old Shangguan people who still have friendship with Huo Sanniang, only one Lu Tang is left. If I were to knock the mountain to sway the tiger, guess what? Will he protect you, or sell you to get away with it?"
Shangguan Fei looked at Fang Zilan blankly and shook his head violently: "This is impossible! How is it possible..."
"As you can see with your own eyes, I am indeed fine. As for Lu Tang..." Fang Zilan's voice became a little darker, "No matter what you said to him, or what leverage he has in your hands, I don't care. I care. , that is, those who have done wrong must pay the price.”
"Master Fang, sitting in such a high position as the Lord of the North, is still so naive. Those who do wrong things must pay the price?" Shangguan Fei smiled a bit evilly, "Don't you know, Master Fang, that only those who do something wrong must pay the price?" Will talents pay the price? The Northern Territory is intricately connected, and how many people are under the rules? Do you really think you can touch them?"
"Why can't I move?" Fang Zilan stood up and walked to Shangguan Fei, "Do you think that my identity as the Lord of the North is just for good looks?"
Shangguan Fei was suppressed by Fang Zilan's power and felt a little out of breath, but he still maintained a calm face, "These people in the north, even if they support a puppet with a humble background like me, they will not allow a woman to stand beside them. The top of your head dominates and brings blessings.”
"I know even if you don't tell me, I am a woman, and this is the original sin. Not only the people in the north think so, but also the people all over the world think so." Fang Zilan lowered her head and looked directly at Shangguan Fei, and suddenly smiled.
"So I often wonder, what method did Li Shengxuan use to send me to this position despite all the opposition?"
She called the emperor by his first name, which shocked everyone.
Then Shangguan Pei seemed to have heard a big joke. He laughed so hard that tears came out. He said out of breath: "Do you think the emperor is doing it for your own good? He is strategizing in the Qiankun Palace, and you are just in his hands. A chess piece for the expansion of the territory. Rather than saying that he fought against all odds for you, it is better to say that you were unable to guard against his open and covert attacks, and you will eventually be buried in this northern border."
"If I die in the north, it's because I have no ability and can't blame others." Fang Zilan smiled brightly, like stars in the dark night, weak but firm, "I never felt that Li Shengxuan treated me well, but he was willing to If he recognizes my value and grants me a corresponding position of power, then I will not let him down. Even if this pool of water in the north is unfathomable, I will have to try it before I know."
As soon as she finished speaking, she knocked Shangguan Fei unconscious with a palm.
