"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. "
"Xu Yi, the son of Mr. Xu Youtong, was promoted to the post of Chief of the Criminal Department a few days ago. He took over the law that was revised by Mr. Mo Han." Xiao Xuan'er said while observing Fang Zilan's expression, "The law was revised before. To what extent this matter is going, no one knows better than Mr. Mo Han. It is probably that the Xu family wants to keep him for a while longer."
"Have you confirmed it?" Fang Zilan frowned slightly, "Mo Han is not missing, but is still in Xu Mansion?"
"It's been confirmed." Xiao Xuan'er nodded, "I saw it with my own eyes, there's nothing wrong with it."
Fang Zilan's expression was dark and unclear, "How long does the Xu family want to keep Mo Han?"
"It won't be long." Xiao Xuan'er said softly: "I have made a plan with Mr. Fang Lihui. If the Xu Mansion continues to refuse to hand over Mr. Mo Han because of his disappearance, we will take advantage of the mixed crowd at the Lantern Festival at the latest. At that time, take Young Master Mo Han out of the Xu Mansion."
"Don't Fang Lihui go back to his hometown in Jiangnan to celebrate the New Year?" Fang Zilan was noncommittal, and Xiao Xuan'er's lips curled up slightly, "The errands assigned by the Queen in person are much more important than the New Year."
Hearing this, Fang Zilan's expression softened slightly, and she nodded and said, "Just follow your plan. What's the third thing?"
"The third thing is related to Murong Qing." Xiao Xuan'er looked around and finally reached Fang Zilan's ear, "Prince Zhongzheng has been in Dajing as a hostage for more than a year. In addition, Princess Zhongzheng has been in poor health recently, so Prince Zhongzheng requested If you can let your son return home to visit his relatives, you can show your filial piety."
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.
"Your Majesty..." Cao Hong hesitated, and Li Shengxuan got straight to the point: "Cao Hong, I want to order you to take charge of the Southwest Camp. What do you think?"
"Your Majesty is destined to die, but..." Cao Hong clenched his fists and simply knelt on one knee and said: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Yue also mentioned that if your Majesty is destined to die, I will agree to it. But I’m afraid that if I take over, Duke Yue will be criticized by others, so..."
He didn't continue, Li Shengxuan said clearly: "Has Fang Zilan mentioned this to you?"
"It is not what the Duke of Yue said personally, but someone told him." Cao Hong pursed his lips and added: "I have been very busy recently, and the Duke of Yue has no time to spare..."
The more he spoke, the lower his voice became, which seemed to be superfluous. Li Shengxuan's heart sank.
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Once Murong Qing returns to the country, the Miluo Kingdom Lord will no longer be able to use the leverage 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?"
"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."
