Fang Zilan took a deep breath and told the maid: "I will block it first, and you can inform the prince and the prince."
"Yes." The maid left in response. Fang Zilan walked a few steps quickly, and before she reached the door, she saw the legendary Queen Mother of Miluo - Lin.
However, before she could salute, she saw that Mrs. Lin seemed not to have seen her and walked straight past her. As she walked, she asked the servants and maids who were all saluting in the court, "Are the prince and the prince okay?"
Li Qianning, who was following Mrs. Lin, glanced at Fang Zilan quietly, pursed her lips, and said nothing. As for Mu Chuji, who was beside her, his eyes seemed to be fixed on her, and he didn't pay attention to anyone else at all.
Fang Zilan, who was ignored, turned around and left, minding her own business and went to the back garden to hide in peace. Anyway, they are all unrelated people. Even if it causes a huge commotion, what can we do?
With this thought in mind, she climbed up on the roof and sat on it, boredly wondering - when will it clear up today?
After a while, when Fang Zilan was drowsy, she suddenly heard a subtle noise. She squinted her eyes and saw Li Qianning and Mu Chuji coming out of the mourning hall one after another, looking cautious as if they were afraid of being bumped into by others.
She became interested and simply sat upright, pricking up her ears to listen to what the two of them were saying.
"Sister-in-law, thank you very much for today." Mu Chuji bowed solemnly, "If you hadn't conveyed the message to me and requested the Queen Mother's decree in time, I would have done him wrong..."
He did not continue. Li Qianning was confused in her heart, but her face remained calm, "Your Highness, Prince Qi, there is no need to be like this. Prince Zhongzheng is the humerus of the Miluo Kingdom. I just can't bear to see my loyal ministers and generals being wronged."
Feeling wronged? Mu Chuji thought in his heart, have everyone in the Zhongzheng Palace suffered enough grievances over the years? Now that the princess is dead, the husband's only concern in this world is Murong Qing.
He really didn't understand what Mu Churui was doing. If you, sir, risk everything for Murong Qing...
Could it be that Mu Churui didn't want the throne, which he regarded as a plaything?
"What is His Highness King Qi thinking about?" Li Qianning couldn't help but ask when she saw Mu Chuji was speechless for a long time.
"It's nothing." Mu Chuji shook his head, suddenly stretched out his hand and touched the top of Li Qianning's hair.
Li Qianning subconsciously wanted to hide, but Mu Chuji grabbed her wrist with the other hand, "Okay." He said, taking his hand off, and there was an extra petal in his palm.
"Thank you, Your Highness, Prince Qi." The tips of Li Qianning's ears turned red and she lowered her eyes, not daring to look at Mu Chuji. However, his words still fell into her ears word for word, "Sister-in-law, I would love to have you in my life." A blessing."
He said it sincerely, without any hint of hypocrisy. Li Qianning felt her heart beating in panic, turned around and left quickly.
Mu Chuji looked at Li Qianning's back and slightly raised the corners of his lips. How great would it be if she were not the emperor's sister-in-law, but his princess?
Thinking of this, his expression suddenly changed. Even he was startled by his sudden thought. This was a thought he would never have when he was playing in the human world.
But once it arises, it is difficult to erase.
That's fine. Mu Chuji looked at the petal in his palm. If Mu Churui was not worthy of being the leader of Miluo, it wouldn't be a big deal if he took his place.
Fang Zilan saw all the changes in Mu Chuji's expression. She raised her eyebrows and watched helplessly as he put the petals in his palm into his arms. The look on his face that cherished and valued it was obvious that he was attracted.
Finally, we have come to this point.
Fang Zilan's expression was gloomy and unclear. She jumped off the roof without hesitation and followed Li Qianning's footsteps to a hidden corner of the back garden.
"The Queen is well." Fang Zilan's drawling voice suddenly sounded, startling Li Qianning, and then she realized that she had walked to a quiet place without anyone knowing when.
Fang Zilan crossed her arms, "When the Queen comes out in the future, it's best to bring some people with her, just in case..."
"Mrs. Crown Prince, what do you want to say?" Li Qianning interrupted Fang Zilan's words, clutched her chest tightly, and forced herself to calm down.
"It's nothing." Fang Zilan smiled slightly, "I'm here to clear up the Queen's doubts."
"What confusion is there?" Li Qianning had a bad premonition in her heart. Sure enough, she heard Fang Zilan say: "His Royal Highness King Qi is extremely grateful to the Queen. Shouldn't the Queen thank me?"
"It's you..." Li Qianning looked at Fang Zilan in disbelief and subconsciously took a step back, "Why did you..."
"Why should I imitate the Queen's handwriting and inform His Highness King Qi?" Fang Zilan said: "Of course it is to let His Highness King Qi remember the good things of the Queen. In this way, if anything happens to the Queen in the future, he will come forward. .”
She said, approaching Li Qianning step by step, "Queen, please don't tell me that you have never thought of taking advantage of His Highness Prince Qi."
"I..." Li Qianning stepped back step by step until she was forced to the wall. She had no way to retreat. She stumbled, but Fang Zilan caught her wrist. "Since I achieved what I wanted for the Queen, should I also do the same?" Please do me a favor?"
"What I want is different from what you want." Li Qianning said this through gritted teeth, and fiercely shook off Fang Zilan's hand.
"The Queen hasn't asked me yet, so how do I know that you and I want different things?" Fang Zilan curled her lips and smiled playfully.
Li Qianning felt shuddering, but she still said calmly: "You and Murong Qing are from the same family. You are ambitious and seek power to usurp the throne..."
"It's true that a wolf is ambitious, and it's true that he seeks power." Fang Zilan intercepted Li Qianning's last words, "But I don't want to usurp the throne."
"You don't want to?" Li Qianning laughed out loud as if she heard a big joke, "Even if you don't want to, Murong Qing won't want to either."
"That's Murong Qing's business, what does it have to do with me?" Fang Zilan's smile became even brighter, "Speaking of serious matters, the Queen wants to play with the Mu brothers, and I want to use her hands to provoke Miluo Civil strife, how can we want anything different?”
She spoke so straightforwardly that Li Qianning's expression froze, "You know..."
"I know." Fang Zilan nodded to herself, "Who in the capital doesn't know? The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are determined to ensure that King Yucheng succeeds His Majesty, and Princess Dejia is no exception."
She paused, then smiled and said, "Have you ever thought that maybe His Majesty originally wanted to hand over the world to King Yucheng?"
"Is this what His Majesty told you?" Li Qianning frowned, and Fang Zilan didn't bother to explain. She knew what was said about her outside - it was just a canary that Li Shengxuan gave away when he got tired of playing with it.
"You are the only one who is easy to trick, so you would believe such nonsense." Li Qianning sneered, "What you don't hold in your hands can never be considered yours."
