Fang Zilan thought about this and suddenly felt a little ridiculous. They were all heartless people who were greedy for power. Only she, after making a mistake, taking a gamble, and losing the lives of almost everyone close to her, finally saw the truth...
There was clear resentment and unwillingness in her eyes, which stung Li Shengxuan's heart, but he still did not let go of her arm, "Fang Zilan, as long as you are willing to stay in the capital, I..."
"Your Majesty, you don't have to be like this." Fang Zilan broke away from Li Shengxuan's hand, her brows seemed to be covered with a layer of frost and snow, filled with a deep chill.
"You..." Li Shengxuan opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Fang Zilan continued, "Your orders cannot be violated. Your Majesty is the emperor of the capital. Even if you ask for my life, I will give it to you with both hands, not to mention Just stay in the capital?"
Li Shengxuan's expression was stagnant, "I don't mean to force others into trouble, but I have to force you to stay in the capital..."
He was only halfway through his words of defense when he was stopped by Fang Zilan, "It's just that I didn't know what to do and actually caused His Majesty to say the words of request. I really deserve death. Please forgive me."
Although she didn't mean to cause trouble for Li Shengxuan when she said this, it was more or less mixed with complaints. After all, she didn't really plan to retire and there was nothing wrong with leaving a way out for herself.
What's more, she knows better than anyone else that using tempting words in exchange for sincere treatment is just nonsense, but...
She actually had a glimmer of hope, which was really stupid.
Li Shengxuan's expression was complicated. He closed his eyes and suppressed all the thoughts in his heart. Finally he stood up and looked at Fang Zilan condescendingly. "I still have things to deal with. You have a good rest and I will see you another day."
He changed his identity, widened the distance between the two, and returned to its original appearance, as if nothing had happened.
Fang Zilan watched Li Shengxuan's figure disappear. She couldn't help it anymore and leaned over and coughed violently.
She coughed quickly and fiercely, as if she wanted to cough out all her internal organs. She did not stop until she vomited several mouthfuls of blood and her mouth was filled with the smell of blood.
When Awan came in, she happened to see this scene. She was so shocked that she took two steps back, then quickly rushed over and held Fang Zilan's hand, "Fang Zilan, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me..."
"I..." Fang Zilan's face was as pale as paper, her brows were knitted into a ball, and her whole body was shaking like chaff, as if she would die in the next moment.
"Don't be afraid, I, I..." Awan hurriedly touched Fang Zilan's pulse, but her hand trembled involuntarily, "I can save you, I can definitely..."
"Awan..." Fang Zilan was so angry that she said, "If I... can survive this time, I will be far away..."
She spoke intermittently, and Awan couldn't help but blush as he listened, "I understand, how about we stay away from each other? If we don't return to the capital, we won't see the young master, nor Li Shengxuan..."
It was the first time that she called the emperor by his first name, but she didn't have the fear she had imagined. It was just like the most ordinary name that came out of her mouth casually.
"Okay." Fang Zilan responded softly, then she couldn't hold on any longer and passed out.
When she woke up again, she was already on the carriage back to Beijing. The moment Awan saw her eyelashes twitching slightly, she almost cried with excitement, "Fang Zilan?"
Fang Zilan moved her eyelids with difficulty, but never opened her eyes. It was as if she was conscious and could sense everything in the outside world, but could not fully wake up.
"I know you can hear and feel it, but I just feel that my eyelids are heavy and I can't open them." Awan said, holding Fang Zilan's hand tightly, "You don't have to worry, although you can't stand the stimulation now, but... …”
She paused and said cautiously: "You must have a lot of things you want to know. I'm going to say something ugly ahead of you. No matter what I say later, you must not get excited. Otherwise, if there is anything wrong, I won't let it go. you."
She took a deep breath and then said: "We are on the carriage back to Beijing now. Fourteen days have passed since you passed out..."
When Fang Zilan heard this, she coughed suddenly. Awan was so frightened that she hurriedly gave her acupuncture to control her cough. "Don't be excited. If it hadn't been too long, His Majesty wouldn't have made such a move. Let you move as you please.”
It's been almost half a month, Fang Zilan was thinking hazy, her mind was in a blur, and she unconsciously wanted to fall asleep again.
"Your current condition cannot last for a while, so I'll keep it short." Awan said while applying the needle: "You blocked the knife for His Majesty before. Although you didn't die on the spot, it hurt your heart and lungs, and you coughed like you did last time. , it’s the King of Hell who wants someone, and it’s hard for the gods to save him. So..."
Her voice was a little lower, "I will try my best, and you will never give up, do you hear me?"
Seeing that Fang Zilan had no reaction, Awan's heart tightened, and he quietly tucked her back corners, then sat by the window and watched the slowly receding scenery outside.
In order to take care of Fang Zilan, their carriage followed Li Shengxuan and his party at the end, deliberately slowing down the return journey.
But even so, bumps are inevitable. She often wonders, can Fang Zilan survive to the capital? She even wonders how real Li Shengxuan's affection for her is.
If it is all false, then there is no need to bother. Now there is only her little medical girl next to Zi Lan. She can sit back and relax with one knife.
If they were all sincere, then why not leave Fang Zilan to recuperate, but rush back to Beijing with her who was seriously injured and unable to move? Like...
Like what? Awan thought in confusion, is Li Shengxuan afraid of losing Fang Zilan?
But if it were her, she would rather not see Fang Zilan for several months than see Fang Zilan like this. When Fang Zilan was taken in by Hidden Sword Villa to recuperate from her injuries, she had been secretly thankful that Master Zhen came to rescue her, but such a good person...
Awan shook her head, as if trying to get those dark memories out of her mind, but in vain.
Thinking about it this way, the same goes for the Young Master. Hidden Sword Villa was obviously Fang Zilan’s savior, but in the blink of an eye, he ordered the Tenth Palace of Hell to destroy Hidden Sword Villa and left Fang Zilan’s Zixiu imprint on him, giving him the reputation of being ungrateful, cruel, and ruthless. . The harder the people in the world scolded him, the more afraid he became, forcing him to be the opposite of everyone, and he could only join in the evil deeds...
Looking back on the past, I feel sad.
Sure enough, they were all using Fang Zilan, but they just wrapped it up with sweet words and beautified it with the so-called possessiveness, which made it easy for people to fall into the trap and think that there was real feelings in it.
