"You want to hide this matter from Mr. Zhuge?" A Wan looked puzzled, and Fang Zilan sighed softly, "I can't hide it from him, but I just want to talk nicely with him so as not to arouse others' suspicion."
"Okay." Awan nodded and said, "I will go to Zhuge's house in person tomorrow and I will definitely bring the message to you."
Seeing that everything was almost settled, Vice General Cao turned to Fang Zilan and said, "Boss, I'll pack my bags first."
"Go." Fang Zilan said and stood up, "I'm going to see Miss Cong."
After saying that, she left the house with Deputy General Cao, then went directly to the wing and knocked lightly on Cong Rong's door. After a while she heard footsteps approaching from far away, came to the door and opened it.
Cong Rong was neatly dressed and looked like she had not yet fallen asleep. When she saw Fang Zilan standing at the door, she quickly invited her in.
Fang Zilan walked to the table and sat down, and said politely: "Miss Cong is pregnant, why haven't you rested yet?"
"I heard that Master Fang entered the palace, and I felt uneasy and couldn't sleep." Cong Rong sat next to her, with a worried look on her face, "Master Fang entered the palace late at night, but what happened?"
"It's not a big deal. Due to the previous case of Qingshui Village Zhuangtou, His Majesty asked all governments to clean up Zhuangzi. However, I have been too busy recently and have put it aside and ignored it, and then I was summoned into the palace by Your Majesty." Fang Zilan said. He said lightly, "It's just a routine inquiry. Miss Cong doesn't need to worry."
"It'll be fine if nothing happens." Cong Rong looked relaxed and asked softly: "Then I don't know why Mr. Fang came here? If there is anything I can do to help, I will definitely be happy to help."
Fang Zilan smiled faintly, "I came here to tell you that tomorrow I will go to a village outside the city to stay for a while. Since His Majesty asked, I can no longer sit idly by and ignore it. I must go there myself. .”
"Master Fang is busy with official duties, so I don't dare to say anything." Cong Rong said calmly: "I'm just counting the days and I'm about to give birth. If there's no one I trust by my side, I'm really scared. .”
She grabbed the corner of Fang Zilan's clothes and begged in a low voice: "Master Fang, can you let Awan stay with me at home? I feel... I have some comfort..."
Her voice was stained with tears and her eye circles were red. Fang Zilan's heart softened when she saw it, and she said warmly: "Don't worry, Miss Cong, I will let Awan stay at my house. Don't be afraid, I will be back in a few days." Maybe I can catch you in labor."
"Thank you, Mr. Fang." Cong Rong stretched out her hand to wipe her eyes, then poured a cup of tea, holding up the teacup with both hands, "Cong Rong substituted tea for wine. I wish Mr. Fang a smooth trip and an early return."
Fang Zilan took the tea cup in her hand and drank it all in one gulp. "Thank you, Miss Cong. It's getting late. If you go to bed early, I won't disturb you."
She put the tea cup on the table, turned and left, not noticing the complicated look in Cong Rong's eyes.
At dawn the next day, Fang Zilan took Deputy General Cao out of the city quietly. Not long after they left the city, Awan knocked on the door of Zhuge's house.
When Zhuge Yu saw A Wan, he felt relieved, "Miss A Wan is here, but she is entrusted by Sister Lan. She has something to tell me?"
"Yes." Awan didn't know how much Zhuge Yu knew, so he just relayed the exact words as instructed by Fang Zilan, "Master Fang went to clean up Zhuangzi outside the city. It will take a while before he can return to the capital. I would like to ask Mr. Zhuge to spend more time on the government affairs." dessert.
"Thank you Miss Awan for informing me." Zhuge Yu nodded slightly and said, "Master Fang has left the city, Miss Awan won't accompany her?"
"How did Mr. Zhuge know..." A Wan suddenly stopped talking and bit her lips.
Seeing this, Zhuge Yu said calmly: "Your Majesty has told me. Mushan Pass is high and the road is far away. I'm afraid Sister Lan's trip will not be easy. It's better for Miss Awan to stay with her."
"I also want to go with Mr. Fang." Awan looked downcast, "But she won't let me follow."
Zhuge Yu smiled slightly and said, "I have a way to make Sister Lan agree to let Miss Awan go."
Awan raised her head suddenly and looked at him expectantly, "Master Zhuge, do you really have a way?"
"I have something I want to ask Miss Awan to bring to Sister Lan." Zhuge Yu suppressed a smile and said solemnly, "This is confidential. I can only feel at ease if I leave it to Miss Awan. I wonder if Miss Awan is willing?"
"I do!" Awan nodded solemnly, "Master Zhuge, it doesn't matter if you say so."
"What happened in the southeast is probably not a rebellion. I'm afraid there are pirates who sneaked into Mushan Pass and took control of Mo Bin." There was a faint worry on Zhuge Yu's face, "If they are really pirates, please ask Sister Lan to persuade them." With General Xiahou’s help, we will get twice the result with half the effort.”
"I don't understand." Awan said doubtfully: "Although Mushan Pass is the junction between Dajing and the old land of Baiyue, it is not an important place near the sea after all. Why would there be pirates sneaking in?"
"The Zhuge family is still investigating the cause of this matter, but I think this news is credible. If it were not a pirate, General Xiahou would not have discovered something was wrong so quickly. After all, when the Xiahou family was in Baiyue, many of them fought with pirates Fight." Zhuge Yu folded his hands in front of him and said in a tight voice: "I will enter the palace later to present this news to Your Majesty. I hope Miss Awan will also tell Sister Lan for me, asking her to ensure everything is done. careful."
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhuge, I will definitely bring your words." A Wan's eyes became more determined, "As for Mr. Fang's trip, please help Mr. Zhuge to cover it up."
Zhuge Yu bowed his hands and said, "Miss Awan, please be at ease. Zhuge Yu will definitely live up to his trust."
When Awan saw that he agreed, he immediately left Zhuge's house without stopping and chased Fang Zilan and Vice General Cao out of the city. She chased them non-stop for most of the day, and finally saw the two people who had settled in the inn when it was dark.
When Fang Zilan saw Awan, she couldn't help but frown: "Why are you here? I didn't ask you to stay in my house, you..."
"Master Zhuge asked me to come." Awan interrupted her eagerly, "He has something he wants me to bring to you."
"Shh." Fang Zilan pulled Awan violently, pressed her fingers on her lips, and made a silencing gesture.
Lieutenant General Cao understood the situation and quickly checked his surroundings to make sure there was no one around. Then she let go and said, "What do you want you to tell me, Ayu?"
Awan deliberately lowered his voice, "Master Zhuge wants me to tell you that what happened in the southeast is probably not a rebellion. It is possible that there are pirates who sneaked into Mushan Pass and took control of Mo Bin. He also said that if they are really pirates, Please also persuade General Xiahou to help, and you will get twice the result with half the effort."
"Mushan Pass is not close to the sea, so why did the pirates get into it and control Mo Bin?" Fang Zilan frowned even more, "And even if it's a pirate, how could I possibly convince General Xiahou to ask her to help me? "
