When Awan told Ji Ningtian that the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet was a scam, he was not surprised, but nodded to show that he knew.
After Awan left, Wu Qing walked into Hong'an Pavilion, bowed respectfully and said, "Sir, everything is as planned."
"Get up and talk." Ji Ningtian raised his hand, and Wu Qing stood up and said: "Wu Sheng is dead. Pei Pening is temporarily detained in the Jingzhao Yin Mansion. The matter of revising the law will be handed over to Mr. Gu naturally, no later than the Mid-Autumn Festival. After that, the revised law will be announced to the public, and by then everyone, whether from aristocratic families or poor families, will attack in groups, and Li Shengxuan may not have time to care about other things."
She paused and said, "Over in Persia, the head of the Anru family has agreed to form an alliance, but as long as the head of the Sasanian family is here, he cannot influence the situation in Persia. There is no news about Murong Qing. He was already worried about Mr. Zuo's incident. Ji Ji fell in love with Zi Xiu, and if he knew that Duke Yue and Zi Xiu of the Ghost Sect were the same person, he would definitely be unwilling to cooperate."
"If Murong Qing knew that Lan'er was Zixiu, how could he be so calm? Let him wait for a while before talking." A cold light appeared in Ji Ningtian's eyes, "Go tell Patriarch An Ru and ask him not to act rashly. When the time is right, I will give him a big gift."
He said as if he was remembering something, and asked: "Where is Cong Rong? Hasn't Lan'er noticed it?"
"No, Cong Rong had already guessed that something was going on in the capital. Before he could take any action, he met Pei's people and planned the trick back." Wu Qing thought for a while and said, "Fang Zitong did too deliberately about Pei Pening. , even if Zixiu is suspicious, she will only suspect that Fang Zitong made a knife out of her."
"Miss Zixiu, please stay." The man who came here bowed respectfully, "It's getting late today. If you don't mind the simplicity of the mountain, you might as well rest here for a night. And..." He paused. , his eyes swept across Awan and Li Shengxuan, but he hesitated to speak.
Seeing this, Awan quickly said: "In this case, we won't be polite."
"You three, please." The man raised his hand and bowed in a gesture of invitation, and Fang Zilan followed him to the guest room, supported by Li Shengxuan and Awan.
When they arrived in the guest room, the man bowed again, "If Miss Zixiu has no other instructions, I will leave." After saying that, he quietly took out something from his sleeve, hurriedly stuffed it into Fang Zilan's hand, and whispered: "My young master ordered me to give this to the third lady."
Fang Zilan looked serious, gritted her teeth and returned the gift, "That's it, thank you very much."
"Miss Zixiu is too polite." The man shook his head and his eyes fell on Li Shengxuan, "However, this gentleman looks very unfamiliar. I wonder what his relationship is with Miss Zixiu?"
"Whatever the relationship is, it has nothing to do with you." Awan stood in front of Li Shengxuan and Fang Zilan aggressively, trying to distance the man's gaze, but in vain.
"Miss Awan doesn't have to be like this." The man lowered his expression and said seriously: "My young master cares about Miss Zixiu. He always wants to know who is around her. If I didn't ask clearly, it would be my dereliction of duty. .”
Hearing this, Li Shengxuan tightened his grip on Fang Zilan's hand and said calmly, "Who do you think I am to her?"
Fang Zilan leaned in Li Shengxuan's arms and listened to his strong heartbeat. She felt panicked for no reason and her face turned red unconsciously.
The man coughed slightly, lowered his eyes and said, "I made a mistake. Please forgive me, Miss Zixiu." Before he could finish his words, he left the guest room as if he was running away.
"You are really..." Fang Zilan tried to push Li Shengxuan away, but couldn't muster any strength.
"Don't move." Li Shengxuan held Fang Zilan in one hand, took the object in her hand and threw it to Awan, "Look what this is?"
Awan took a closer look and saw that it was a medicine bottle. She opened it carefully, sniffed it, and hesitated: "Could this be the antidote?"
Li Shengxuan looked happy, "If this is really the antidote..."
"No!" Ah Wan shouted sharply, interrupting Li Shengxuan's words, "She originally had..."
She realized something was wrong as soon as she opened her mouth, and said nonchalantly: "What I mean is that she has been poisoned and injured too many times and has used many medicines. Therefore, her constitution is different from ordinary people. Even antidotes cannot be used at will. On her..."
Li Shengxuan carried Fang Zilan directly to the bed, as if he didn't listen to what Awan said. It wasn't until her voice weakened that he turned around and looked at her and said, "Are you done?"
Awan pursed her lips, nodded bravely, and then slowly leaned to the edge of the bed step by step, and bravely said: "Now you are an ordinary person to me, I don't care what you want to do, anyway You can't stop me from saving people..."
"How sure are you?" Li Shengxuan stopped Awan's words and made room for her.
"I don't know." Awan caught Fang Zilan's pulse and said attentively: "When I practice medicine, I always do my best and obey fate."
Li Shengxuan was silent, watching helplessly as Fang Zilan's brows furrowed and his whole face wrinkled up, as if he was suffering from huge pain, but he was helpless.
"Here, take half of the antidote." A Wan helped Fang Zilan sit up straight, drank half the bottle of antidote for her, and then let her lie back down. Then she took out the silver needle and started acupuncture on her.
Fang Zilan gradually became confused and unconscious. Awan concentrated on applying the acupuncture and did not notice when Li Shengxuan left.
"Sir." Xia Houzhang was waiting outside the room. When he saw Li Shengxuan coming out, he whispered: "It has been found that General Yao Wu and others in the Jiangnan camp are colluding with Fei Lingshan."
"How did you find out?" Li Shengxuan's hand hidden in his sleeve clenched into a fist. He and Xia Houzhang had been checking for a long time before, but there was no progress. Now that it is suddenly so smooth, it will inevitably not make people suspicious.
"It's all thanks to Master Shi's help." Xia Houzhang lowered his head and said, "If Master Shi hadn't put himself in danger, I'm afraid I wouldn't have found General Yao Wu so quickly."
"No." Mo Han said helplessly: "That's why in many places, even if you have adult children when your husband is widowed, you will still be forced to build a memorial arch to observe the customs, or even be bought and sold. The reason is reputation and money."
Fang Zilan understood a little more, and Mo Han thought to himself: "Remarriage is not allowed in the capital, so if the law is revised like this, no matter whether it is a wealthy family or a poor family, they will all attack together."
Fang Zilan completely understood and took a breath of air, "The former could have escaped without any expense, or even spent money to gain a good reputation, but now he is forced to pay to relieve other people's worries, so he won't I am willing. And even if the money is paid, it is still unknown whether it will be implemented where the money will go. The latter must feel that their way of survival has been cut off, and they will gnash their teeth with hatred."
