"Yes, I know." Li Shengxuan didn't hesitate. After hearing this, Fang Zilan subconsciously clenched her fingers, and her nails dug into her palms, leaving red marks.
She composed herself, and as if trying to show off her strength, she met Li Shengxuan's gaze and said almost without hesitation: "Since Your Majesty knows it, I have nothing to say. If you want to kill or behead him, it's up to you."
After she finished speaking, she supported the pillar and turned her back, not daring to see Li Shengxuan's reaction. She never looked back until he left.
After several years of being a monarch, will we finally reach this point?
Fang Zilan closed her eyes and made sure there was no one around, then she hugged the pillar and gasped for air as if she couldn't hold on. The next moment, she coughed violently and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
This is... Fang Zilan frowned as she looked at the dazzling red on the snow. It stands to reason that her poison can be suppressed very well. It shouldn't be like this. How could it be...
"Lan Lan." Chu Bin's voice came from far and near. Fang Zilan's expression was stern. She just wanted to hide the blood under the snow, but she felt weak in her steps and her whole body suddenly trembled. She couldn't even make a trace of it. strength.
"Lan Lan, you..." Chu Bin held her shoulders, but saw that her face was pale and her lips were blue, and he couldn't help but said in shock: "This is Hanshuang..."
"What did you say?" Fang Zilan tried her best to ask, but she passed out before she could hear the answer.
On New Year's Eve, the streets in the capital were bustling, with the sound of firecrackers and red paper hanging on branches. People were talking and laughing in the heavy snow, as if they had already forgotten the unhappiness of the year.
But at this time, the Duke of Yue's mansion was deserted, everyone was full of worries and looked gloomy.
Awan stayed by Fang Zilan's bed, feeling annoyed and blaming herself, "It's all my fault. If I told you about the frost poison, you wouldn't be like this..."
Outside the screen, Xiao Xuan'er and Mo Han were sitting and standing, both with cold expressions on their faces.
"Miss Awan, according to what you said, Sister Lan's frost poison has four levels. It was not achieved in a day. Do you know when she was poisoned?" Mo Han tried to keep his voice calm, Awan After hearing what he said, he hurriedly said: "The specific date still needs to be calculated, but the approximate time should be shortly after Miss Fang Er came out of Pei's house. Could it be..."
"It can't be Miss Fang. She doesn't know the poison of frost." Xiao Xuan'er interrupted A Wan, "If it's the Pei family, there's still some possibility."
Mo Han frowned and said, "But if the Pei family really knew how to use frost poison, how could they have suffered from it for so many years?"
Hearing this, Awan pursed her lips and said, "Sister Xiao, Mr. Mo, the frost poison can't be found anywhere else except the ghost gate, and no one will use it."
Mo Han's expression froze, and Xiao Xuan'er clenched her fists, "I'll go see how Mr. Chu's investigation goes."
This was not the first time. Ever since Miss Dongxue died last time, they had suspected that there was a spy in the house. They conducted an investigation and finally captured a servant and found evidence that he came from the ghost gate. They forced He had to kill himself.
At that time, Xiao Xuan'er felt strange. When Bai Xiu Niang was taken in, all the people in the house left. Now, they selected these people one by one, with clean backgrounds, before taking them into the house. How could they be the spies of the ghost sect?
So Xiao Xuan'er immediately checked everyone one by one, and finally felt relieved after confirming that everything was correct. However, when Fang Zilan was exposed to frost poison, she felt unspeakable fear.
However, Chu Bin was at a loss as to what to do, no one in the whole government was suspected, and he couldn't find the person who poisoned him, so he had to find a way to detoxify it first.
It was night, Mo Han, Xiao Xuan'er and Chu Bin were gathered in the hall, all with solemn faces. After a long time, Chu Bin finally broke the silence, "I asked Awan, she doesn't have an antidote to the frost poison. If she wants to detoxify, she can only go to the ghost gate to seek medicine."
"Mr. Chu, you..." As soon as Xiao Xuan'er opened her mouth, Mo Han said: "No, Sister Lan didn't take you out of the ghost gate to let you go back and die!"
The rare excited tone made Chu Bin and Xiao Xuan'er stunned, "Master Mo..."
"If you want to go, I will go too." Mo Han stood up and said sharply: "My life will be exchanged for Sister Lan's safety. He will only agree to such a deal."
This him, of course, refers to Ji Ningtian. Chu Bin and Xiao Xuan'er knew it well, and before they could say anything to dissuade them, they saw Mo Han striding out.
"Master Mo, stay!" A Wan's figure suddenly appeared in front of the hall. She stood at the door and stretched out her arms, blocking Mo Han's way.
As if she had made up her mind, Awan bit her lip and said, "Now that things have come to this, even if Fang Zilan hates me to death, I have to say it."
Mo Han was stunned, "Miss Awan, what do you mean?"
Awan took a deep breath and spoke out in one breath, "The poison in Fang Zilan's body is very overbearing and can swallow other poisons. Ordinary poisons can't kill her, but they are extremely poisonous..."
"Awan!" Chu Bin intercepted her words in a deep voice, "Even if we can't kill her, how much torture will she suffer and how long will she have to live?"
"What...are you talking about..." Mo Han was shocked, and Xiao Xuan'er also looked at Chu Bin in disbelief.
"I..." Awan knew that he had made a mistake, so he simply said directly: "Even if the frost poison is dangerous, I still have a way to save Fang Zilan's life. If you have no time to spare, rush to die, why not find out who poisoned the person." "
After saying that, she ran away quickly, muttering in a low voice as she ran, "Fang Zilan, why didn't you tell your cousin about the poison at all? You really killed me..."
Xiao Xuan'er looked at A Wan's disappearing figure with a worried look on her face, "Is Miss A Wan really sure?"
Mo Han woke up from a dream. He originally thought that Fang Zilan's injuries were caused by the battle, but he never thought that it was related to the ghost gate. He turned around and walked up to Chu Bin, "Mr. Chu, what exactly is the poison that Miss Awan mentioned?"
"If you want to know, just ask Lan Lan." Chu Bin stood up, avoided Mo Han and walked to the door.
"Mr. Chu, what are you going to do?" Xiao Xuan'er couldn't help but ask. Chu Bin stopped but didn't look back, "I'm afraid A Wan is out of power, so I'll ask Mr. Wen to help."
Mo Han gritted his teeth and sat back dejectedly for a while, "Miss Xiao, do you know that Sister Lan is poisoned by poison?"
"I've guessed a little bit, but I'm not very clear." Xiao Xuan'er calmed her expression and said softly: "Master Mo, Mr. Fang has been in the ghost gate for several years. She has her own difficulties."
"Including your identity, you can't let me know, right?" Mo Han's eyes gradually became sharper, and Xiao Xuan'er avoided his gaze, "Yes, Mr. Fang hopes that you will always live openly in the light, and don't get the slightest trace of it. haze."
"I know Sister Lan's selfishness. But from the moment I step into the capital, this can only be a luxury hope." Mo Han sighed, and then said firmly: "Sister Lan protected me in the past, but this time it's me. To protect her."
