Xiao Xuan'er opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but was stopped by Chu Bin who came in a hurry, "Lan Lan, the Prime Minister invites you to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to have a talk."
"Master Prime Minister?" Fang Zilan was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "I understand, I'll go right away."
"It's been snowy and cold recently. I'm preparing a car for Mr. Fang." Xiao Xuan'er turned around to leave, but was stopped by Fang Zilan, "No need, I'll ride over."
After saying that, she picked up the cloak and put it on, then took the umbrella handed over by Chu Bin and said softly: "I'll go and come back. If you have nothing to do, look after Mo Han for me. He still needs to worry about Miss Fang. "
"Okay." Chu Bin agreed, Fang Zilan called Zheng Yan, and the two went straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion had been waiting in front of the door for a long time. When he saw Fang Zilan arriving, he couldn't help but look happy. However, when he saw Zheng Yan following her, he hesitated for a moment.
Fang Zilan took in the housekeeper's expression completely. She turned to Zheng Yan and said, "Awan has been talking about Sufangzhai's bean cakes these past two days. Go buy some. You don't need to come over later. You can just go back home."
Zheng Yan took the order and left. The housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand and bowed in an inviting gesture, and introduced Fang Zilan into the main hall.
"The Prime Minister has something to say to me?" Fang Zilan asked tentatively: "But it has something to do with Miss Fang's second incident?"
The butler walked in front and kept walking, "It's hard for us as servants to tell the master's affairs. Master Fang will know about it soon."
Fang Zilan didn't ask any more questions until she walked into the main hall and saw Fang Chongzheng sitting upright on the main seat. She bowed and said, "Well, Prime Minister."
Although Fang Chongzheng did not stand up, he spoke politely, "Master Fang, as the Duke of Yue Kingdom in Beijing, is above me in rank. I have accepted this gift today in vain."
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, you are serious." Fang Zilan stood up straight, with no intention of sitting down, "I wonder why Your Majesty the Prime Minister invited me here today?"
"There are a lot of things going on today. Please be more patient, Mr. Fang, and don't think I'm verbose." Fang Chong meant what he meant, and Fang Zilan simply took his seat in an open manner.
The housekeeper personally brought the tea and then left. There was not a single maid or servant left in the entire hall.
Seeing this, Fang Zilan thought to herself that what Fang Chongzheng was going to tell her might not be simple. As expected, Fang Chongzheng spoke slowly: "The truth about the murder of Duke Guo Guo has been revealed. I think Lord Fang has already heard about it."
Fang Zilan nodded slightly, and Fang Chong looked at her steadily, "I want to hear Mr. Fang's opinion."
"I..." Fang Zilan's lips moved, and she had so many thoughts but she suddenly didn't know where to start. What was originally a shocking case now seemed like a joke.
"With Master Fang's ability, he must know more things than me. I have a question, I wonder if Master Fang can answer it for me?" Fang Chongzheng seemed to have expected her reaction, and changed his voice and said: "What if Lord Fang can answer my doubts, and I am willing to tell Lord Fang what he wants to know most."
Hearing this, Fang Zilan's eyes became sharper. She had been making moves since the beginning of the year, from Baiye Temple to Fang's family. Others might not know what she was checking, but Fang Chongzheng must have known.
It sounded like a deal, and one she couldn't refuse.
Her silence seemed to be acquiescence, and Fang Chongzheng asked plainly: "Since Lianyang can poison Duke Jui, why doesn't she attack Pei Pening directly?"
Fang Zilan's expression suddenly froze. She did not expect that it was the simplest question. But she still said: "Because Pei Pening is the only one in the Pei family who never uses medicine. Duke Guo Guo is often ill and cannot live without medicine. The poison that Pei Penming spent a lot of money to buy took advantage of this. Among the medicines used by Lord Guo Guo every day, they will not be detected but can kill him."
"If this poison is applied to the little girl's sleeve arrow, will it have the same effect?" Fang Chongzheng asked, and Fang Zilan said categorically: "Yes, but it won't work as quickly as taking it orally."
Fang Chongzheng said thoughtfully: "If this poison is used on Mrs. Pei or other members of the Pei family, will it also be fatal?"
Fang Zilan still replied neatly: "Yes."
She had asked Awan to check the poison before, and Awan told her that the poison was incompatible with the medicines commonly used by the Pei family, so it would be fatal if used on the Pei family, and on others...
Wait, the medicine commonly used by the Pei family...
Fang Zilan suddenly realized something. Before she could change her words, she heard Fang Chongzheng say: "Master Fang's words are wrong. Except for Duke Guo and Mrs. Pei, if anyone else uses it, it may not be fatal."
"What do you want the Prime Minister to tell me?" Fang Zilan calmly held the tea cup in her hand. Fang Chongzheng already knew the answer, so he just pushed her into the game by raising suspicions.
"Master Fang, I said there are many things I want to say today, and this is just one of them." Fang Chongzheng took a sip of tea and said quietly: "The medicine used by Duke Jun and Mrs. Pei is to relieve the cold frost." The poison. And Pei Pening found out the secret somewhere and got the medicine that induces the frost poison."
Frost poison? Fang Zilan felt that it was strangely familiar. Fang Chongzheng looked at her and said, "People in the ghost sect should be familiar with this poison."
Fang Zilan suddenly changed her expression, but Fang Chongzheng remained calm, "The poisons of the previous dynasties were incomparable to those of today. The frost poison was originally given to the dead soldiers of the secret guards to make them bow their heads and obey orders, but it was occasionally used. To disobedient courtiers, such as Pei."
He paused and said, "Master Fang must have heard that the mother of Duke Guo Guo married the Pei family to save the lives of the family. Although they saved their lives, there was endless torture after that. The frost on Duke Gui Guo's body The poison was given by his mother."
"What?" Fang Zilan looked at Fang Chongzheng in disbelief, but there was no trace of lying.
"It is indeed because of his mother that Duke Jun Guo dislikes women. However, the reason behind it cannot be explained clearly in just a few words." Fang Chongzheng's tone softened slightly and he said warmly: "Master Fang, never listen to one's own beliefs when something happens, especially if there is no evidence to prove it. Things."
The connotation of this sentence was obvious. Fang Zilan tightened her grip on the tea cup and blurted out: "Can I believe what the Prime Minister says?"
Fang Chongzheng did not answer her question, his eyes fell on the tea cup she was holding tightly, "Master Fang, the tea in your hand will get cold if you don't drink it."
Fang Zilan picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp. Fang Chongzheng pursed his lips and said, "Master Fang has solved my doubts. Now it's my turn."
He breathed a long sigh of relief and revealed the biggest secret in his heart to Fang Zilan word by word, "You are indeed the daughter of the former Zhenbei General Prince Pingnan and Mrs. Qin Ji, the only royal orphan - Ji Lan."
Fang Zilan suddenly felt that her mind was in chaos. She looked at Fang Chongzheng blankly, "The mountain breeze is Lan. Mrs. Qin Ji hopes that you can be as free as the mountain breeze and live freely in the world. It's a pity."
