Zhuge Yu watched Fang Zilan's figure disappear from sight, and asked in confusion: "Grandpa, why..."
As soon as he spoke, he saw his grandfather's face turning pale, covering his heart and slowly leaning down, so he hurried forward to support his grandfather and said urgently: "Grandpa, you..."
"It doesn't matter..." Zhuge Yu's grandfather interrupted him and said in a deep voice: "Have you checked the origin of this Duke of Yue?"
"I've checked, and there's nothing unusual." Before Zhuge Yu could finish his words, he saw his grandfather's expression becoming cold, "Is there nothing unusual, or can't find anything at all?"
Zhuge Yu was shocked, pursed his lips and said, "Nothing can be found, it's like it appeared out of thin air."
"In that case, why don't you advise His Majesty?" Zhuge Yu's grandfather coughed a few times, "You actually let a person of unknown origin rise to the position of an imperial minister. Is this how I taught you?"
"Grandfather, I..." Zhuge Yu wanted to say something more, but his grandfather didn't give him a chance at all, and just threw away his hand and walked away.
Zhuge Yu vaguely guessed that his grandfather must know something, which made him angry. But what?
He searched for a long time, but could not find out Fang Zilan's background. He was really uneasy at first, but as time went by, his doubts were gradually erased by Fang Zilan's words and deeds, and now he was almost defenseless.
To this day, seeing my grandfather react like this is like a bucket of cold water rushing down my head - Fang Zilan has been a mystery from beginning to end.
But now, I am afraid that not only my grandfather is suspicious of Fang Zilan, but Fang Zilan must also be suspicious of her grandfather's attitude. I just don't know what she will think?
However, what Zhuge Yu didn't know was that although Fang Zilan felt strange about his grandfather's attitude at this time, he had no doubts. Instead, he was reflecting on whether his behavior was shocking, and he could actually provoke Zhuge Yu's grandfather, who had seen countless turmoils. The old man reacted so strongly.
She returned to the house gloomily amid self-doubt. Pei Pening's wife in front of the house was no longer there. Only Awan sat on the steps and stared at the passers-by in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.
"You're back!" Awan stood up and ran up to Fang Zilan. She hummed and asked casually: "What are you doing sitting here?"
"Waiting for you to come back." A Wan said confidently, Fang Zilan was stunned, "Us?"
"Yes." Awan nodded, "You have been summoned to the palace. Mr. Mo and Sister Xiao went to buy wedding gifts. Sister Cong went to General Cao's house to talk to Sister Bai. I am the only one left. It's so boring. .”
"What wedding gift?" Fang Zilan frowned slightly, and Awan said angrily: "As soon as you left, Pei's servants came to see Mrs. Pei, saying that the Queen Mother's decree to confer marriage had arrived."
Fang Zilan bit her lips. The more Awan spoke, the angrier she became, "You don't know that Mrs. Pei was so arrogant at that time. As if she was afraid that others wouldn't know that Mrs. Pei was going to marry the Fang family, she started to show off her power in front of our house. Yes, it’s really…”
Fang Zilan didn't listen to what Awan said later, but just put his arm around her shoulders, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's go back."
Awan looked at Fang Zilan's calm expression and couldn't help but be surprised: "Didn't you object to the marriage between the Pei family and the Fang family before? Why was there no response after entering the palace?"
"What's the use of objecting?" Fang Zilan sighed softly, "I can't help after all."
Awan carefully tugged on her sleeve, "Fang Zilan, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, but what do you think about the supreme position? I can't help myself after all..." Fang Zilan's tone was cold, and Awan subconsciously raised her hand to cover her mouth, and whispered: "How can you say these words? If someone If I hear this, I’m afraid I’m going to get into trouble!”
Fang Zilan snorted coldly and took A Wan's hand, "I have nothing to be afraid of." After she said that, she pulled her towards the house without waiting for A Wan to speak.
Awan remained silent, letting Fang Zilan take her back, and then looked at her as if nothing had happened, taking medicine and meals as usual, recuperating, and then busy with official duties.
On the day Fang Zitong got married, Fang Zilan sent her a congratulatory gift, and then left on the pretext of being busy with official duties. Before she left, she looked at the red silk wedding candles everywhere, drinking and drinking, and suddenly felt inexplicably sad.
Perhaps one day in the future, like Fang Zitong, she would be given a marriage to someone by a decree. Just for dignity and dignity, weighing interests, it has nothing to do with Fengyue's sincerity, you are in love with me.
However, her sadness did not last long, and a marriage fell from the sky to her——
The news that King Yucheng Li Qiyou asked Li Shengxuan to marry Duke Fang Zilan of Yue Kingdom spread throughout the capital.
As a person involved, Fang Zilan seemed to have been struck by a bolt from the blue. Her first reaction was, is Li Qiyou crazy?
People who had the same idea as her were the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother. I heard that the Empress Dowager became angry and fainted when she heard the news, and the Queen Mother also fell ill from anxiety.
Li Shengxuan neither agreed nor rejected it. He only said that as the Duke of Yue, Zilan, was an important minister of the country, she should ask herself about her life-long events, so he naturally passed on the hot potato of King Yucheng.
Therefore, the matchmaker and the steward of Prince Yucheng's Palace visited the gate of the Duke's Palace every day, and were rejected time and time again, but they were extremely persistent. They even went to the gate of the government office to block Fang Zilan, which annoyed her so much that she finally claimed to be ill and stayed behind closed doors. Out.
As for King Yucheng himself, he was dragged into the palace by the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, who constantly reminded him to re-select the candidate for the princess.
However, for some unknown reason, King Yucheng, who had always been obedient, was extremely stubborn this time. He didn't listen to a word and even went on a hunger strike in protest. The two empresses were so angry that they detained him in the palace.
When Fang Zilan heard the news, she sighed several times. Finally, she asked Xiao Xuan'er, "Have you heard about why King Yucheng wants to marry me?"
"Mr. Fang in the North, you once saved King Yucheng. Since then, he has been in love with you." Xiao Xuan'er looked at Fang Zilan's dark and unclear expression and said cautiously: "In addition, Duke Jui has been in love a few days ago. The marriage with Miss Fang Er..."
She paused for a moment and then said: "I think it has irritated King Yucheng. He is afraid that if you don't propose marriage, you will be forced to marry someone else, so he specially asked your Majesty to issue an edict..."
Fang Zilan waved her hand to signal her to stop talking. Mo Han couldn't help but asked: "Sister Lan, you and King Yucheng..."
"Nothing!" Fang Zilan stopped his words and said quietly: "Isn't King Yucheng confusing the grace of saving his life with his love? I saved him purely because I was afraid that he would die. The two empresses in the palace would not Will he let me go, it has nothing to do with him. If I had known this, it would have been better not to save him in the first place."
"But King Yucheng has a distinguished status after all. Sister Lan, it would be inappropriate for you to reject the marriage rashly." Mo Han looked embarrassed, "His Majesty also knows this, so he passed the problem to you."
"I know." Fang Zilan said and sighed again. Mo Han said worriedly: "Sister Lan, have you decided what to do?"
