Zhuge Yu knocked at the door and pushed the door open after Awan agreed.
When he saw the person lying peacefully on the bed, he felt a little relieved and said softly: "Miss Awan has been guarding you all night. You might as well go and have a rest. I'll replace you with someone else."
Awan shook her head, looking rather tired, "I'm used to it. As long as you are Master Fang, you may be seriously injured and comatose for several days. I can just take a nap while her condition is stable. It'll be fine."
"Miss Awan, thank you for your hard work." Zhuge Yu put the breakfast in his hand on the table, "I put the breakfast here. Miss Awan, remember to eat it when you are free."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhuge." Awan suddenly thought of something, got up and walked to the desk to write. After writing, he handed it to Zhuge Yu's hand, "This is the prescription I prescribed. I would like to ask Mr. Zhuge to help you prepare the medicine. It will be cooked in time." Good to send it over."
"I'll go right away." Zhuge Yu looked at the prescription in his hand, "If Miss Awan has any other instructions, just send someone to find me." After saying that, he took the prescription and left.
Not long after, Zhuge Yu came to deliver medicine and a plate of cakes.
When Awan was serving the medicine, he glanced at the cakes next to him. Several naive rabbits were carved on the round cakes. There were three or two dots of sweet-scented osmanthus embedded in the soft and waxy skin. They turned out to be moon cakes.
Seeing the mooncake, Awan's expression was a little strange at first, but then she said calmly: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Zhuge Yu nodded, "I saw that Miss Awan was guarding Sister Lan every step of the way. She was so worried that she forgot what day it was, so she asked the chef to make some mooncakes and bring them over. It can be considered a holiday."
"Master Zhuge is interested." A Wan gave Fang Zilan medicine while talking to Zhuge Yu, "Speaking of it, Master Fang really has no fate with the Mid-Autumn Festival. Last year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, we were on the way to the north, and this year's Mid-Autumn Festival is full of responsibilities. I am seriously injured and unconscious, and I don’t know when I will be able to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in peace."
Her words sounded bitter, but her tone was still lively and playful as usual, but in Zhuge Yu's ears, she felt a little more helpless.
Fang Ziqin held a hand warmer and was sitting on the porch enjoying the scenery. When Qiu Shui brought Fang Zilan to her, she stepped back and asked Fang Zilan to sit next to her.
Fang Zilan hesitated for a moment and then stood by the railing not far from Fang Ziqin. She didn't say anything more and just smiled, "Master Fang, do you know why I invited you here?"
"I don't know." Fang Zilan shook his head, and Fang Ziqin closed his sleeves, "You have done a good job in establishing people, and you deserve a thank you from the Fang family."
"The Queen is very polite. Young Master Fang Liren has thanked me personally." Although Fang Zilan answered neatly, she couldn't help but feel suspicious in her heart, and she didn't know what Fang Ziqin's plan was.
"It's different." Fang Ziqin put the incense burner aside and rubbed his hands gently, "Liren left the Fang family, but Master Fang became a shareholder, which means that the entanglement with the Fang family will no longer be resolved. "
Fang Zilan snorted softly and said noncommittally: "The Queen has lived in the palace for a long time, so she is well-informed."
Fang Ziqin still had a faint smile on his face and whispered softly: "Today you defeated Xiahou Yunzhao, and tomorrow the news will spread all over the world. In less than two years, a large family was wiped out and two ministers were replaced. It broke the situation in which the nine princes and princes were in a dichotomy. Do you think the Empress Dowager and the other princes would just sit back and watch and let you dominate?"
Fang Zilan's face was a little colder, obviously on guard, "What do you want to say, the Queen?"
"What I want to say is that if you are willing, the Fang family can help you." Fang Ziqin stood up and walked in front of her, "It's cold at high places, and your position below one person and above ten thousand people is shaky. Today, King Yucheng was encouraged by the Queen Mother to push you to the forefront, and tomorrow there will be other ministers joining forces to try to kill you. If there is no one to support you, how far can you go alone? "
Fang Zilan asked instead, "How did the Queen know that King Yucheng was instigated by the Queen Mother?"
Fang Ziqin covered her face and chuckled, "Don't you also have doubts about why King Yucheng came forward? When I went to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager today, it happened that King Yucheng was also there. The Empress Dowager was full of praise for you and said You are infinitely better than Xiahou Yunzhao, and you told King Yucheng that you and he had a life-saving grace, so of course I want to recommend you to the throne in front of His Majesty as a reward."
Fang Ziqin paused and continued, "King Yucheng is upright and simple, and he has deep faith in his grandmother, but he doesn't know that the Queen Mother's actions are not to help you but to harm you. The higher you climb, the more you fall. The heavier you are, not to mention that you are alone and have no one to rely on? How deep is the pool of water in the Dajing Palace? You have been in the north for a long time and can only see a glimpse of the leopard. There is no good person in the whole court, they are all cannibals. You, the bone-spitting ruthless horn, won’t be able to last long on your own.”
"Since the Empress is in danger, she knows that the Fang family is not an easy person to deal with. Or is it that the Empress has been relying on the Fang family for too long and has been confused? Do you think that everyone has the same reliance and confidence as you? ?" Fang Zilan's lips curled up slightly, and she smiled helplessly, "I am a person with nothing. Now that I have climbed up, I am not afraid of falling to pieces. I understand the Queen's kindness, but since His Majesty is standing behind me, then There is no need for anyone else to support you.”
"If the four realms are not at peace, the general will be uneasy." Zhuge Yu sighed quietly: "If there is peace in the world, there will be reunion and joy every festival."
"Master Zhuge is a man who has the world in mind, so he is different from me." Awan put the medicine bowl beside the bed, took out the silk handkerchief from his sleeve, and wiped the medicine stains from the corners of Fang Zilan's mouth, "As long as I can take care of myself I only need one-third of an acre of land to live in peace and happiness. Whoever owns the world, and what the surrounding scenery is, have nothing to do with me."
Zhuge Yu looked at Awan steadily, his expression dark and unclear, "Although there is nothing wrong with what Miss Awan said, if everyone thinks the same as you, I'm afraid the world will be in chaos."
"So I am neither a noble man like Mr. Zhuge, who is the leader in strategizing the world, nor a border guard general like my Mr. Fang, who takes the lead and sacrifices himself for others. I am destined to be a common man."
A Wan raised the corner of her mouth, with an expression of indescribable contentment, "You can do as much work as you have the ability to do. I just need to do the things in my hands well. Even if I can't hang a pot to save the world, I can at least be able to do it. Save some lives.”
"That's true." Zhuge Yu smiled with relief, still looking as clear and picturesque as ever, "If everyone in the world did their own thing as well as Miss Awan, the world would not be that bad."
