Fang Zilan was lying on the bed. Awan checked her injuries and couldn't help but sigh, "Young Master is really cruel."
"It's okay, I can't die." Fang Zilan shrugged indifferently, and Awan pursed her lips and changed the subject, "Then the Wheel King..."
"Chu Bin." Fang Zilan stopped her words and reminded: "Don't shout the wrong name in the future."
Awan nodded, but still felt a little worried, "I'd better go take a look. It would be bad if something goes wrong."
After saying that, she got up and walked out, only to find that Mo Han had already settled Chu Bin, and Xiao Xuan'er also rushed to Fang's house overnight to communicate with Fang Lihui.
The palace returned to calm, but early the next morning, a servant from the palace came and said that His Majesty had summoned the Duke of Yue to the palace to discuss matters.
"Discuss something?" Fang Zilan raised her hand and frowned. She was summoned at this time, most likely because of Ji Ningtian and Wu Qing's affairs. It's just that the injuries on her body are aching, and although she can barely move as usual, she still...
She may not be able to hide it from Li Shengxuan.
But if he just finds any reason not to go, I'm afraid it will be more likely to arouse Li Shengxuan's suspicion.
Unable to push him away, Fang Zilan slowly changed his clothes and followed the servants into the palace.
On the auspicious day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, there were several days of rest. However, Li Shengxuan still sat conscientiously in the imperial study room and read the book. Fang Zilan looked at the focused person in front of him, and for some reason he felt a little calmer.
"Why are you staring at me like that?" Li Shengxuan suddenly spoke, and Fang Zilan suddenly realized that he was rude and hurriedly saluted, "I was rude. I hope your majesty will forgive you."
Li Shengxuan curled his lips, "Does it look good?"
Fang Zilan was stunned and said calmly: "Your Majesty looks good when he is diligent in government affairs."
"You." Li Shengxuan shook his head helplessly, "Sit down."
Hearing this, Fang Zilan sat on the soft couch by the window, "I wonder why your Majesty summoned me?"
"The wedding date of King Yuning and Princess Wuqing has been decided by the Ministry of Etiquette. It will be on the 23rd of next month." Li Shengxuan casually took a copy of the document and said, "King Yuning submitted a letter asking him to draw up a guest list. This is his Prepared list."
"So fast?" Fang Zilan muttered, but Li Shengxuan didn't put down his hand holding the book, "Do you want to read it?"
Fang Zilan frowned slightly, "Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
"Nine great princes, Prince Yuning only invited you." Li Shengxuan said meaningfully, Fang Zilan relaxed his brows and said casually: "The prince does not hold grudges."
"Is that what you think?" Li Shengxuan asked without leaving any trace, and Fang Zilan nodded and said, "Yes."
As she spoke, she raised her hand to take the tea cup on the table as a cover-up, but found that the table was empty. She put her hand down, either without letting it go or not.
Seeing this, Li Shengxuan ordered people to serve tea, and the waiter came with tea. He poured a cup and handed it to Fang Zilan. She was about to take it but saw the waiter's hand shake and the tea spilled down.
Fang Zilan hid, and the chamberlain was so frightened that she didn't know what to do. He grabbed her sleeve and said, "Master Fang, it's all my fault for my clumsiness. Did I burn you..."
"I'm fine." Fang Zilan couldn't help but push the person away. Unexpectedly, the waiter used too much force and actually tore her sleeves apart.
Suddenly, the injury on Fang Zilan's arm was exposed to the air. She subconsciously covered it and said in a deep voice, "I told you, it's okay."
Li Shengxuan ordered someone to drag the waiter down, and his eyes fell on the arm she wanted to cover, "Are you injured?"
Fang Zilan was silent, and Li Shengxuan stood up, took the cloak on the rack and put it on her shoulders, "It's cold in autumn, and your body is not in good condition. Don't get sick."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty." Fang Zilan gathered her cloak, and Li Shengxuan looked at her steadily, "You have walked so many times between life and death for the great capital, and it is enough. I will take care of everything in the future, so don't do it again hurt."
"I accidentally injured myself while moving my muscles and bones..." Fang Zilan hesitated in his explanation, and Li Shengxuan did not dig into the details. He changed his voice and said, "You should have heard about the draft law revised by Gu Yuan of the Ministry of Punishment. This matter I can’t suppress it for too long, I have to have an explanation after Xiu Mu is over.”
Fang Zilan thought thoughtfully, "Since Your Majesty is not satisfied, why not let Mr. Gu revise it again?"
"It needs to be revised, but I haven't found a suitable candidate yet." Li Shengxuan's eyes were blazing, "I heard that you once asked government officials to discuss the matter of orphans and widowers, and it was at that time that Wu Sheng stepped forward."
"Yes." Fang Zilan knew clearly, "Your Majesty wants me to recommend a candidate?"
Li Shengxuan nodded, and Fang Zilan declined politely: "Shouldn't Your Majesty ask Master Zhuge about recommending candidates?"
"Zhuge Yu is busy with the reform of officialdom. He still lacks manpower, and I really can't mobilize him." Li Shengxuan said frankly. Fang Zilan bit her lip and stopped talking.
Seeing her like this, Li Shengxuan said sharply: "You have a suitable candidate, but Wu Sheng and Yin Jian are still here. You are afraid that if this person follows in his footsteps, something unexpected will happen to him, right?"
Fang Zilan took a deep breath, "Yes. If something happens to him, I will never forgive myself in this life."
"Mo Han." Li Shengxuan read out the name, and Fang Zilan said quietly: "With Mo Han's talent, it is not difficult to amend the law. But if he enters the court, it will be extremely dangerous. I am not sure that I can protect him, so I can't Let him get involved. This is my selfish intention, and I hope your majesty will forgive me."
"Fang Zilan, if you really thought so, you wouldn't have said this." Li Shengxuan was straightforward. Fang Zilan breathed a long sigh of relief, her voice a little bitter, "Yeah, I can't stop him."
She said and took out a document from her arms, "This is written by Mo Han. It not only revise the law, but also the people's livelihood. He said that the law is the foundation of the country. If it cannot be used as a guarantee, the people's livelihood will be It's a castle in the air. It's a difficult road, but he's willing to give it a try."
Li Shengxuan took the document with both hands, and Fang Zilan continued talking to herself, "I confiscated this from him. I originally wanted to burn it, but I couldn't bear it. I know that if I burn this copy, he will still remember it. Write tens of millions of copies. I don’t want him to pass on his ideas to His Majesty through others. Since I can’t stop him, I will accompany him.”
She paused and said, "I will not let Mo Han enter the court, so I ask your Majesty to grant him the status of a guest and treat him with courtesy. Without an official rank, he will not easily arouse the fear of others, and I will be sure to protect him." It’ll be bigger.”
"You have such good intentions, does Mo Han know?" Li Shengxuan's hand holding the document tightened, and the thin wrinkles on the paper revealed his thoughts.
Fang Zilan didn't pay attention, she lowered her eyes and said: "Mo Han understands me, and I understand him. I know that he doesn't want to cause trouble to me. But I have to pave the way for him to feel at ease on the road he wants to take. .”
