"Sir said that if someone is traveling with you, they will definitely attract the attention of the bandits."
"I'm dad's friend, and also your friend." Fang Chongzheng's voice was gentle, and he grabbed the rope and stopped the swing. "Dad has something to say to Mr. Fang. I'll come with you later, okay?"
Fang Zitong thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay." After that, she jumped off the swing, turned to the maid and shouted to the side: "Dongxue, let's go release the kites!"
Winter snow? Fang Zilan was stunned when she heard the name. It wasn't until Fang Zitong and the maid named "Dong Xue" disappeared from sight that she heard Fang Chongzheng say: "Of all the maids, she only remembers Dong Xue."
Fang Zilan was silent. Fang Chongzheng looked at her and said, "I have heard about what happened in the court hall the day before yesterday. Is this why Mr. Fang came here?"
"Yes." Fang Zilan pursed her lips, "If the Prime Minister is not free, I will come to visit you another day."
"Lord Fang, if you keep cutting off, you will suffer the consequences." Fang Chongzheng's words stopped Fang Zilan from leaving, "Since you are already here, there is no harm in staying for a cup of tea before leaving."
"Sorry to bother you." Fang Zilan bowed her hands and then followed Fang Chongzheng into the hall. After sitting down, she picked up the tea cup, but made no move.
"Master Fang, you can't keep the White Jade Tiger Talisman, why bother..." Before Fang Chongzheng finished speaking, he heard a clang, and the tea cup in Fang Zilan's hand fell to the ground, smashing it to pieces.
Fang Zilan straightened her sleeves as if nothing had happened, seemingly blocking the red marks on her hands inadvertently, "What do you mean, Prime Minister?"
"The Di Rong envoy is about to arrive in Beijing. I think Mr. Fang already knows about it." Fang Chongzheng took a sip of tea and said quietly, "In addition, Di Rong's ministry has had a lot of friction with Persia and Miluo recently. Although it is not a major war, there are some There are many casualties, does Sir Fang know about this?"
"I know." Fang Zilan's voice became a little deeper, and Fang Chongzheng asked: "Does Master Fang know when the friction started?"
"After the spring hunting." Fang Zilan answered quickly, and Fang Chongzheng said meaningfully: "This timing is a coincidence."
Fang Zilan took a deep breath, "I guess they have already started the layout, I just don't understand, why is it the White Jade Tiger Talisman?"
Fang Chongzheng went on to add more tea, "Master Fang thinks that as long as the other half of the White Jade Tiger Talisman is in the southeast camp, it doesn't matter who is in the hands of the other half, right?"
"The third thing is related to Murong Qing." Xiao Xuan'er looked around and finally got close to Fang Zilan's ear. "Prince Zhongzheng has been in Dajing as a hostage for more than a year. In addition, Princess Zhongzheng has been showing off her filial piety recently."
Fang Zilan asked thoughtfully: "Has the Lord Miluo agreed to King Zhongzheng's request?"
"It's been shelved." Xiao Xuan'er whispered: "I don't know who came up with the idea for King Zhongzheng and spread the news. Now not only Dajing, but also Di Rong and Persia in the surrounding area know about it. I think it's just for Force the Lord of Miluo to submit. After all, our Majesty in Dajing..."
She didn't say anything further, and Fang Zilan knew in her heart that taking Murong Qing as hostage was not Li Shengxuan's intention. If King Zhongzheng proposed that the crown prince return to the country, he would be the first to agree.
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Once Murong Qing returns to the country, the Lord of Miluo Kingdom will no longer be able to use the bargaining chip of Prince Zhongzheng's palace, and will use all possible means to target him.
Dajing can just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and it can keep the peace on the border. Why not?
Fang Zilan pondered for a moment and then changed her voice, "Is there anything going on over there at Ji Ningtian?"
"No, but the ghost gate..." Xiao Xuan'er said and paused, "Everyone pushed down the wall. Since the news of the death of the Tenth Palace King of Hell spread, people from all walks of life have held up the banner of justice and fought against The ghost gates are shouting for beatings and killings, and there are not many people left in the ghost gates of the past.”
"Do the people in the ghost sect just sit back and wait for death?" There was a hint of hatred in Fang Zilan's tone. Xiao Xuan'er lowered her eyes and said: "Even if you rise up to resist, you can't escape the fate of being slaughtered."
Fang Zilan narrowed her eyes coolly, "This is what people in the world call reincarnation. Are you unhappy with retribution?"
Xiao Xuan'er remained silent for a while and then said: "Miss Fang San, did you think of the owner of the village?" The owner of the village in her mouth was Zhen Mingxuan, the owner of Hidden Sword Villa, Zhen Mi'er's father.
Fang Zilan pursed her lips, and Xiao Xuan'er continued speaking to herself, "The great revenge of Hidden Sword Villa has been avenged. I think the owner and his wife can rest in peace now that they are under the Nine Springs."
"Do Mi'er and Brother Wan know?" Fang Zilan's voice became a little darker, and Xiao Xuan'er responded: "Miss and uncle already know, and they all say that you have suffered."
"Bitter?" Fang Zilan smiled and argued subconsciously: "It just took some effort, so it's not considered bitter."
"The young lady and my uncle asked me to tell Miss Fang San that you must take good care of yourself." Xiao Xuan'er looked concerned, "I also brought the new medicine that my uncle prepared for you."
She took out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve and handed it to Fang Zilan. "As for the prescription, I will give one to Miss Awan."
"Thank you, brother Wan." Fang Zilan accepted the medicine, "Are they all okay?"
"Everything is fine." Xiao Xuan'er said as if remembering something, "The sisters in Qianjinfang are still inquiring about the whereabouts of Mr. Chu Bin. I will tell you as soon as there is news."
Fang Zilan opened her mouth, but swallowed the words as she spoke. She looked past Xiao Xuan'er and looked in the direction outside the palace, "Someone is coming. Recently, many people have come to Fengyi Palace to pay their respects. You can go out later. Be careful when doing so.”
"Don't worry, Third Miss Fang." Xiao Xuan'er raised her voice and said, "The master and the second young lady are talking to the Queen, and I have been specifically asked to invite the third young lady to come over."
Fang Zilan reacted suddenly, "What do you mean, the prime minister, that this half of the white jade tiger talisman cannot be given to the royal family members who have fiefdoms?"
"This was originally a rule set by Emperor Tai'an, but it's a pity." Fang Chongzheng sighed, "At the end of the previous dynasty, when Emperor Tai'an raised his army, he got the tiger talisman from a relative of the Ji clan, so he started After the dynasty, a rule was established that clan members were not allowed to hold tiger talismans, especially clan clan members of the royal family with fiefdoms. However, within a few years, this rule was broken because of Concubine Yu."
"Master Prime Minister, are you talking about General Xiahou?" Fang Zilan was stunned and blurted out: "But she is not a clan relative..."
"Although we are not relatives, we are relatives." Fang Chongzheng said: "All relatives can have fiefdoms and hold military talismans, let alone relatives of the royal family?"
"The old land of Baiyue was originally the homeland of General Xiahou, how can it be regarded as a fiefdom?" Fang Zilan argued, but even she felt that she was not confident enough.
"The world won't care, let alone the court officials." Fang Chongzheng said quietly: "The rules have been abolished. Everyone else forgets after passing them, but Ji's will remember them forever."
