"Master Fang, it's time to take the medicine." Xiao Xuan'er's voice brought Fang Zilan back from her thoughts. She raised her hand and lightly frowned, and asked casually: "How did Miss Xiao find out about Princess Rongan's selection of a son-in-law?"
"If my guess is correct, Princess Rongan has someone in her heart." Xiao Xuan'er put the medicine bowl next to Fang Zilan's hand and saw her frowning slightly, "Why did Miss Xiao say this?"
"Prince Rong'an entered the palace this morning and told His Majesty that Princess Rongan will make a decision in three days." Before Xiao Xuan'er finished speaking, Fang Zilan looked stern, "Are these the exact words of King Rong'an?"
Xiao Xuan'er nodded slightly, "Since the princess made the decision, I guess there is someone in the princess's heart, but she can't confirm the other person's intentions, so we will have to wait until three days to find out."
"If so, things would be simple." Fang Zilan said thoughtfully: "But, will King Rongan really let the princess choose her own son-in-law and just sit back and watch?"
"Everyone in the southeast knows that King Rongan indulges women." Xiao Xuan'er said while thinking: "If Princess Rongan uses any extreme method, I'm afraid King Rongan may not let it go."
Fang Zilan nodded, "Can I please tell Miss Xiao to tell Zheng Yan that we will keep an eye on the Royal Post House for the past two days and report any trouble? I would like to see who Princess Rongan's sweetheart is?"
Xiao Xuan'er watched Fang Zilan drink the medicine and comforted her: "Master Fang is getting better now, so it's better not to worry too much. Miss Awan also said that Master Fang needs to rest in peace."
"Awan is still being held in Jingzhao Yin Mansion, can I feel at ease?" Fang Zilan shook his head helplessly, "Fortunately, Awan's medicine works. Apart from the occasional lethargy and fatigue these days, I have nothing else. By the way, Where is Mo Han? Speaking of which, I didn’t see him yesterday. What were you doing, why didn’t you even go home? "
Fang Zitong looked wary, pursed her lips and said, "Since I made the wrong move, I won't bother Mr. Guo Guo too much..."
"Miss Fang, wait a minute." Pei Juqing interrupted her quietly, "If Miss Fang is looking for my cousin, you might as well give up. He won't come."
"It's you..." Fang Zitong blurted out, but suddenly fell silent.
Pei Juqing nodded slightly and said, "I asked Miss Fang to come here in the name of my cousin. I have a business deal that I want to discuss with Miss Fang."
Fang Zitong's expression turned cold, "I'm just a weak girl in a deep harem. I have nothing to discuss with Duke Jun."
"Why should Second Miss Fang refuse in a hurry? Why don't you listen to the business I want to discuss first, and then make a decision before it's too late." Pei Juqing poured the tea and said, "Even if the business cannot be negotiated, we can't waste this good tea."
He pushed the tea cup in the direction of Fang Zitong, as if he was sure that she would sit down and discuss the business with him.
Fang Zitong hesitated for a moment, and finally sat across from Pei Juanqing, "What kind of business does Lord Juan want to discuss with me?"
"As expected of Second Miss Fang." Pei Juqing smiled and said: "Waras, the only daughter of the Sasanian family, gave up her Sasanian name in order to marry Second Miss Fang's cousin..."
"Did you hear clearly? Your Majesty really said that?" The Queen Mother looked in disbelief. The Queen Mother also looked solemn, but she was still steady. "The apology letter from Di Rong's Ministry has just arrived in the capital. Your Majesty will not Reply so quickly.”
The secret guard bowed his head and said: "Di Rong's Ministry has arranged for a mission to send the two princesses to the capital before your Majesty's reply. This matter has been confirmed by the Queen Mother, the head of your mother's family - General Dugu Xin. There will never be any wrong."
The Queen Mother took a deep breath and looked at the Queen Mother as if asking for help, "Mother, what should I do? Your Majesty has not even accepted a concubine for Fang Ziqin. If he really wants to marry these two princesses to Qiyou What should I do with Qiye? The previous turmoil in Miluo has not exceeded a hundred years. If we were in the capital..."
"Shut up!" The Empress Dowager interrupted her sternly and said in a deep voice: "The witches from Di Rong's tribe can't even think about causing trouble to our royal family in the capital."
"But..." The Queen Mother was obviously panicked, "Mother, your Majesty is getting more and more mature now. If he insists on doing this... we may not be able to stop him!"
The Queen Mother was silent, and the Queen Mother knelt in front of her, "Mother, we agreed to Qiyou and let him marry Fang Zilan as the princess. The two Princess Di Rong have special status and are somewhat noble and decent, so they will not come to the big palace. If I stay in Beijing as a side chamber, I will naturally not enter Qiyou Mansion again."
"What is Fang Zilan's background? How can a humble girl from a poor family become Qiyou's princess?" The Queen Mother said angrily: "Qiyou is confused, are you going to fool around with him?"
Princess Erya looked indifferent when she heard the report, and then retreated, leaving only the maid beside her, who was also her cousin.
"Erya, do you really want to do this?" The cousin's voice was trembling. Princess Erya took out a wooden box from her sleeve and gently touched it with her fingers, "I will exchange my life for the prosperity of the Wu family. This deal , not a loss.”
"But..." The cousin wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Princess Erya, "Hatumu is weak. How could he be the leader without Mia Guli to protect him? What's more, he never believed in witchcraft. If it hadn't been for the protection of the clan elders many times, you and I would have died countless times. What future would Di Rong have in his hands?"
"Erya!" The cousin frowned, "The feud between Miluo and the Wu family has not been resolved, but the country's leader Mu Churui promised that as long as Di Rong surrenders again, he will order the new leader of Di Rong to honor the Wu family. How credible is this statement? Let me tell you, Mu Churui just wanted to use Di Rong's hand to kill Murong Qing, the man with the destiny, and then restart the war with Dajing. It would be a good idea. It’s just shame.”
"I don't care what Mu Churui wants to do." Princess Erya's expression grew colder, "As long as I can kill Hatumu and protect the Wu clan, my death will be worth it."
"Erya, if after your death, Mu Churui turned his back and kept the Wu family in seclusion in the palace, how would that be any different from a hundred years ago?" The cousin was heartbroken, "The Wu family would become like the high priest. Destiny manipulates people's hearts, but they are puppets controlled by Mu Churui. It's okay not to have such prosperity."
Unexpectedly, Princess Erya turned a deaf ear, "Cousin, Miagu was finally seriously injured. It took me a year to get the elders of the clan to stop supporting Hatumu, and I got this opportunity from Mu Churui. I have to take a gamble. "
"That's Fang Zilan, the daughter of the God of Death. How could you win her in a bet?" The cousin held Princess Erya's wrist, but she was unmoved at all. "It is precisely because she is the daughter of the God of Death that I changed my mind." I want to bet."
The more she spoke, the more she gritted her teeth, "The former General of Zhenbei, King Pingnan, massacred all tribes outside the Great Wall and killed many of our tribesmen in order to marry his princess. Have you forgotten, cousin?"
