"Sure enough." Fang Zilan raised the corners of her lips and showed a cold smile, "Back in the Wind River Valley, Shangguan Yun even dared to take advantage of the chaos to kill you, let alone the Jiangnan camp now?"
She paused and looked at Li Shengxuan's face turning a little pale, "The Jiangnan camp was first established..."
"So what?" Fang Zilan looked a little sharper, "If Jiangnan Camp teamed up with Suzhou Prefecture, or even several major surrounding prefectures, it would be easy to hide the truth. King Rongan has learned from the past, so why can't Suzhou Prefecture be followed in the future?"
"What about the Fang family?" Li Shengxuan asked back: "The Fang family is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and its industries are spread across all states. Not only is Zuiyue Tower in Suzhou Prefecture, but also..."
"What do you want to say?" Fang Zilan politely stopped Li Shengxuan's last words, but he still continued, "There was also the former Qianyan Pavilion, and the Jiangnan Painting Boat fire case had nothing to do with the Fang family?"
It's like two people who insist on exposing each other's shortcomings. Every word you say to me will not give up until the other's scars are dripping with blood and injured completely.
"Relevant or irrelevant, it has nothing to do with the current matter." Fang Zilan flicked his sleeves, "Since you can't keep your promise, then let me save Ah Shi. From now on, you go your way, and I will go My single-plank bridge.”
Before Li Shengxuan could say anything, he was pushed away by Fang Zilan, "Finally, I'll give you a piece of advice. If you go back early, it might still be too late."
After she said that, she left without looking back. Mingxiang and Awan quickly followed. Xia Houzhang, who was standing aside, neither dared to stop nor said anything. He could only look at Li Shengxuan cautiously, "Sir, Should we..."
"No." Li Shengxuan's cold voice stopped Xia Houzhang from talking, "I will never go back until everything is cleared up."
"The Queen Mother does not need to be so aggressive." Li Shengxuan suddenly spoke up, interrupting her, "Even if I want Fang Zilan to enter the palace, it has nothing to do with others. I respect the Queen Mother, and please respect yourself."
After saying this, he glanced at Queen Fang Ziqin and Fang Zilan, then bowed to the Queen Mother, turned around and left Yugui Palace. Fang Ziqin also bowed to Fang Zilan, and then left after him.
Yang Zhiqing's father was originally the chief of the Ministry of Punishment, and he was of high rank. However, he died early. When he died in office, Yang Zhiqing was only ten years old. Later, according to the recommendation system of officials' children, he worked in a lowly idle position.
With nowhere to show his ambition, Yang Zhiqing invited himself to the smoky southeastern region - a place that all the children of the capital avoided. At that time, he was only eighteen years old.
He had been away for eight years. When he returned to Beijing, he finally joined the Southeast Government Office, but he was still a little-known clerk. Fortunately, he didn't care much. As long as he received a salary to support his family, it was enough. .
He was just a conscientious ordinary person who worked hard every step of the way. However, due to fate, he was involved in such a turmoil, and in the end he couldn't even survive on his own.
Fang Zilan didn't know how she walked back home. She suddenly felt that she could no longer be so passive and let Ji Ningtian lead her away. In the long run, more and more innocent people would be implicated.
Maybe in Ji Ningtian's eyes, they are nothing more than ants, but in her eyes, they are all living people, and they should not leave without knowing anything after they come to this world.
In Fengyi Palace, everyone in the palace was stunned when they saw Li Shengxuan arriving in a hurry. Then when they saw Fang Ziqin coming back with Fang Zilan, they realized what they were doing and retreated one after another.
There was no one around, so Fang Ziqin leaned forward and said, "I still have some trivial matters in the harem to deal with. Your Majesty, please help yourself." Then he took Qiu Shui out of the main hall.
Even Fang Zilan was stunned. Could it be that Fang Ziqin was just like the Queen Mother, using her as a bargaining chip to fight for favor? Or……
"Don't you have anything to say to me?" Li Shengxuan's voice brought Fang Zilan back from her thoughts. She pursed her lips and said softly: "I didn't expect that His Majesty would be so uncontrollable."
"I..." Li Shengxuan was speechless for a moment, brushed his sleeves and said, "You deserve to be the best in the world."
"The best?" Fang Zilan repeated these words and nodded thoughtfully, "I think so too."
"You..." Before Li Shengxuan could say anything, he saw Fang Zilan kneeling on his knees, folding his hands in front of his forehead, and bowing.
Seeing this, Li Shengxuan clenched his fingers into fists, and his heart suddenly tightened. Fang Zilan was born in the military and always knelt down on one knee when saluting, even when facing him, the emperor of Beijing. Unless it is a time of worship, but now...
"Fang Zilan is grateful to Your Majesty for saving the lives of everyone in our house, but he will never use himself as a thank you gift." Fang Zilan said, with his palms facing up and above his head, "I would like to offer this gift to Your Majesty. As long as Your Majesty speaks, no matter what Whatever it is, I will do it for His Majesty."
Li Shengxuan looked down and saw a plum branch in Fang Zilan's palm, "This is..."
Before he could continue, Fang Zilan added: "Zixiu's plum branches, the promise of the world's number one killer."
Li Shengxuan's expression was dark and unclear. The first time he saw the plum branch, he knew what it was. Although he had spoken out loud about hiring Zixiu before he came to the throne, he had never regarded Fang Zilan as a sword in his heart, especially after knowing that she was Miss Fang San, he couldn't do it...
"If Your Majesty is unwilling to accept it, then let it be." Fang Zilan gestured to stop, and Li Shengxuan said in a deep voice: "Wait a minute."
Fang Zilan's hand stopped in mid-air, and Li Shengxuan looked at her steadily, "With Mei Zhi as my trust, I can do whatever I want from you?"
"Zixiu only sells her life, not herself." Fang Zilan looked back confidently, as if she was not kneeling on the ground, but standing upright, "Your Majesty knows what he knows, why bother asking?"
"Okay." Li Shengxuan nodded slightly, and as he waved his sleeves, the plum branch in Fang Zilan's hand fell into his hand, "I accept the purple plum branch."
"Bai Chu, the matter has come to this, I might as well tell you the truth." Fang Zilan said calmly and proudly: "You have no room to bargain with me at all. Now that I am willing to give in and agree to your conditions, it is because of Miss Bai. For the sake of face.”
"What do you mean?" Bai Chu asked blankly, and Fang Zilan glanced at him sideways, "Originally, you entered my Yue Kingdom Duke's mansion. If you couldn't let me get what I wanted, I wouldn't send you out properly. But I know There are many people involved in Miss Bai's matter. Even if I kill you, I can't stop everyone from talking. I'm not afraid, as long as someone dares to gossip in front of me, I will pull out his tongue. But Miss Bai is different, she is alone The girl's family always has to make a living, and I don't want to see her being criticized. The only way she can survive is to leave her hometown."
