Fang Zilan thought about it, but finally failed to say no. But she couldn't directly agree with Mo Han's idea. Regarding this potential risk, she would rather bear it herself than Mo Han bear half of it for her. But after thinking about it, the words turned into "I'll think about it".
Mo Han knew that she was wavering and did not rush her. The matter had been left to rest for a few days and the Mid-Autumn Festival was just around the corner.
During this period, the draft proposed by Gu Yuan spread to an uproar for some unknown reason. There was a lot of noise in the capital, and rumors spread everywhere outside the capital. All kinds of true and false remarks disturbed the peace in the court.
Although Fang Zilan does not go to court every day, Awan still brings her various experiences from the streets and alleys, which can be called exciting. If she hadn't heard it with her own ears, she wouldn't have known when the people in Beijing understood the law so well.
However, Mo Han mentioned this matter to her, and they both agreed that someone had deliberately leaked the news. After all, Mo Han had easily heard the private discussions of the Su family's servants only one day after the draft had entered the palace, let alone now?
But it wouldn't make much sense to say that the Su family was behind this. The Yushitai, the Su family's sphere of influence, is a well-informed place. If someone discovers that the draft was leaked due to the failure of the Yushitai, the Su family will be blamed.
As for the Pei family, Pei Pening himself is a fool. No one would think that he could come up with such a draft, let alone make a fuss about it. The thing that attracted the most attention was his rape of a civilian girl. However, Pei Juqing didn't really ignore him. After using some tricks overtly and secretly, he only got a heavy beating and was fished out of Jingzhao Yin Mansion.
Fang Zilan was not surprised when she heard the news, but this kind of lifting up and putting down gently caused everyone to criticize. Pei Juqing's life has not been easy recently, and she only hopes that the news will be suppressed after a while.
Now this situation is complicated, some people seem to be benefiting, but in fact they have their teeth knocked out and blood is swallowed, and some people appear to be innocent, but in fact they are adding fuel to the flames behind the scenes. Fang Zilan felt that she didn't have many clues at the moment. In addition, the floral notes for the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet had been sent to various houses, so she didn't have much attention to spread elsewhere.
Ji Ningtian in Hong'an Pavilion accepted the flower note and thanked him, which meant that the rival actor was ready to go, and Fang Zilan had to take the stage.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xiao Xuan'er hurried back. The moment Fang Zilan saw her, he was stunned for a moment, and then understood.
"Master Fang, I'm stuck in the day and I'm back. I guess there's nothing you can do to send me away." Xiao Xuan'er's expression was as indifferent as ever, but her tone was a little more teasing.
"When did Miss Xiao know about it?" Fang Zilan smiled helplessly, and Xiao Xuan'er curled her lips and said, "I already felt vaguely that something was wrong on the way. After meeting my young lady and uncle, I was convinced. Master Fang is like this. Are you sure, can’t I come back in time?”
Fang Zilan suppressed a smile and said seriously: "I think it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, so you will have to delay a little longer."
"Master Fang is traveling in danger. Even if I want to stay longer, I'm afraid my young lady won't want to either." Xiao Xuan'er said cryptically, and Fang Zilan lowered her eyes and asked, "Are they okay?"
"Everything is fine." Xiao Xuan'er rarely joked, "If Mr. Fang takes care of himself, I think they will be better off."
Fang Zilan coughed lightly, and Xiao Xuan'er looked at her intently and whispered: "I heard that King Yuning and Princess Wuqing will also be present at this year's Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet."
One leaf falls and one knows the autumn of the world, and Qianjinfang is like this. With some clues, you can follow the pictures to find out more information, not to mention the outstanding ones like Xiao Xuan'er, who can immediately judge the direction of the wind whenever there is a disturbance.
Fang Zilan admitted gracefully, "Yes. There is something that needs to be dealt with at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet."
She said it calmly, but Xiao Xuan'er's heart tightened, but she did not ask further questions, just nodded slightly and said: "I understand. Don't worry, Mr. Fang, I will be in the house tonight and I will guard it tightly." .”
Fang Zilan hummed, "Zheng Yan is here to stay. If you have anything you can ask him to help you with."
"Master Fang, you..." As soon as Xiao Xuan'er opened her mouth, Fang Zilan stopped her, "I can go alone to the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet."
Xiao Xuan'er took a deep breath, said nothing, and watched Fang Zilan leave the house and go to the palace.
Fang Zilan stepped into the Royal Garden at the right time. She arrived neither early nor late, but she still attracted everyone's attention. Several familiar people, such as Zhuge Yu, Li Qiyou and Su Yun, all greeted her.
After a few words of greeting, they saw King Yuning Ji Ningtian being pushed into the imperial garden by his servants. Fang Zilan followed everyone's gaze and was a little stunned. If she hadn't met like this, she had almost forgotten that in the eyes of the world, Ji Ningtian was an orphan from the previous dynasty who was disabled and had limited mobility.
Ji Ningtian was sitting in the wheelchair, without the fierceness that Fang Zilan often had, and with all his sharpness, he felt weak. Wu Qing followed him, her eyebrows lowered and her head lowered, just like a quiet little white rabbit.
Immediately, there was a lot of discussion in the imperial garden. Some people were disdainful, while others were wary. Most of them just watched the excitement. The orphan of the previous dynasty appeared at the palace banquet of this dynasty, and he was afraid that he would be uneasy.
Fang Zilan watched from a distance through the crowd. Ji Ningtian seemed to feel something and looked in her direction.
When their eyes met, Fang Zilan subconsciously turned her head away and tried to hide away, but she met Zhuge Yu's probing gaze.
"Master Fang?" Su Yun's voice suddenly sounded, and Fang Zilan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Master Su, what's wrong?"
"Just now I asked Master Fang what he thought of the draft proposed by Master Gu, but Master Fang has not answered me yet." Su Yun looked serious, "I thought Master Fang was different from Master Zhuge and would not be interested in King Yuning."
Fang Zilan pursed her lips, and Su Yun said meaningfully: "I didn't expect Lord Fang to be as interested in King Yuning as Lord Zhuge."
"I'm just curious." Fang Zilan said softly: "It turns out that the orphan of the former dynasty who is still alive in the world is just an ordinary person. He doesn't have three heads and six arms, and he doesn't have a hateful face."
She said this as if she had never met Ji Ningtian before. Zhuge Yu didn't believe it when he heard it, but he had no intention of testing her. Because he knew that Li Shengxuan's promotion of her and Ji Ningtian's appearance at the same time was originally meant to be a test, and there was no need for him to add any unnecessary extravagance.
Before Su Yun could speak again, Li Qiyou took the initiative to come to the rescue and said, "Everyone in the world is ordinary, they just have different fates."
"Your Majesty, what you said makes sense and deserves a toast from me." Fang Zilan agreed. Li Qiyou shook his head and said, "I heard that Mr. Fang's house has never stopped using medicine, so I'd better stop drinking."
"Your Majesty is so considerate, I can't force you." Before Fang Zilan could finish her polite words, a servant from the other side came to invite you to move to Wanfu Palace for a banquet.
