"Your Majesty, I only have friendship with you and have no relationship between man and woman." Fang Zilan broke away from his hand with a calm expression, "I believe that with your character, no matter who you marry, you will respect her, love her, and protect her." She is considerate throughout her life, but that person should not be me."
"Why?" Li Qiyou held her shoulder and forced her to look him in the eye, "You know clearly...don't you have to be a chess piece and wait until the imperial edict is issued to marry anyone?"
"I've been waiting for it now, haven't I?" Fang Zilan raised her hand and pushed his hand away, "Your Majesty, if Your Majesty hadn't respected me and been willing to ask me what I meant, the situation you mentioned would have happened long ago."
Li Qiyou looked at her blankly and listened to her words word for word: "My marriage, as long as I don't want it, is an imperial decree, and I have the courage to fight against it. What about you, do you dare?"
"Fang Zilan!" The Queen Mother's voice suddenly sounded, which was particularly sharp in the huge palace, "How dare you..."
"Why don't you dare?" Fang Zilan glanced at the livid Queen Mother, then turned to Li Qiyou and said: "Your Majesty, I understand that you originally had good intentions, but when you used the name of your own protection to ask for an imperial decree granting marriage, At that moment, you have become the kind of person you don’t want to admit.”
"I..." Li Qiyou's tone was a little weaker, "I'm afraid you will..."
"Your Majesty, this is your problem." Fang Zilan stopped him unceremoniously, "You used coercion in an attempt to make me surrender. It's because you knew very well that this was something I couldn't agree to. matter."
"I'm sorry." Li Qiyou's voice was very soft. Fang Zilan still heard those three words. However, before she could breathe a sigh of relief, she heard the Empress Dowager say: "Master Fang is so loud. Could it be that you are the Ai family?" Don’t you and the Queen Mother exist?”
Fang Zilan looked at the Empress Dowager and said: "I already said it when I came in. Today I am here to see the prince. After all, the marriage is about the two of us and has nothing to do with anyone else. Now I have said all I need to say... …”
"It has nothing to do with anyone else? Lord Fang, marriage has always been decided by parents and matchmakers, so why is it a matter between you and Qiyou?" The Empress Dowager raised her voice and said calmly: "What's more? You can never get what you want, and the same is true for people."
Fang Zilan's expression turned cold, "What do you want to say?"
"The Ai family will issue a decree to grant the marriage. Please feel free to marry, Lord Fang." The Queen Mother's sudden change caught Fang Zilan off guard. She was extremely confused, and Li Qiyou also looked confused.
"There is no need to say more about this matter. If Mr. Fang feels that the Ai family cannot control you, then the Ai family will go to your Majesty for an order." The Empress Dowager said solemnly: "The princess praying for your blessing must be you."
Fang Zilan didn't know how she walked out of Yuzhang Palace. She only felt that her steps were extremely heavy. What was repeated in her mind were the last words of the Empress Dowager, "If Mr. Fang thinks he has merit, he will be pampered for a lifetime and despise the majesty of the royal family. Then how can everyone in the world be in awe of our Dajing royal family in the future?"
For a moment, she couldn't refute such words. She has forgotten that it has always been a taboo to overtake one's master with great achievements.
Even if Li Shengxuan doesn't care, even if she is a woman, even if she has never been proud of her achievements, as long as she shows any intention of resisting, she will be considered a traitor at any time and will be dragged into the water and trampled to death.
Murong Qing was in a trance for a moment, and Fang Zilan calmed down, and her voice became darker, "Your Majesty, I promised King Zhongzheng that I would protect your life. But if you have evil intentions, don't blame me for being ruthless. Next time, I will Kill you."
After she said that, she turned around and was about to leave, but Murong Qing called out to her, "Master Fang, you said that I have evil intentions. Then you worked hard to reach the position of Duke of Yue. Don't you have other plans?"
Any other plans? Fang Zilan chewed on these four words repeatedly, then looked back at Murong Qing, "I have other plans, but they are different from the prince's ambition."
"Ambition?" Murong Qing laughed out loud as if he heard something funny. After a while, he stopped and said word by word: "Master Fang, if you have the prophecy of destiny, will you fight for it? If so? If we don’t fight, where can we settle down and live?”
Fang Zilan laughed and said coldly: "There are many people in this world who do not have the prophecy of destiny. Don't they need to settle down and settle down? Your prince has come this way. Whether it is for the sake of settling down and establishing destiny or the prophecy of destiny, only you know best in your heart."
"No matter what Mr. Fang thinks, I will not stop here." Murong Qing clenched his hands into fists and said with a fierce expression: "I will never let Mr. Zuo's blood flow in vain."
When she heard Mr. Zuo, Fang Zilan was stunned. She pursed her lips and whispered: "Your Majesty, have you ever thought that Mr. Zuo's so-called help for you may be just using you to satisfy his own god creation? ?”
"What did Lord Fang say?" Murong Qing didn't seem to hear it clearly. Fang Zilan shook her head, "It's nothing. Your Majesty just needs to remember what I said today and stay safe. Otherwise, forgive me for not being able to fulfill my promise to your father."
After she said that, she walked out without looking back. Murong Qing looked at her back and felt a helpless and dejected feeling in his heart.
It wasn't that he didn't hear the last sentence he just said clearly, but he didn't dare to hear it clearly.
If Mr. Zuo is really like what Fang Zilan said, and he only helped because of the destiny prophecy, what does the friendship between teacher and friend in those years mean... and who does he mean? A tool to fulfill destiny prophecies?
Fang Zilan's heart-breaking words are really much crueler than killing someone.
"Di Rong's tribe broke the contract first. Even if you divorce the princesses, no one can comment." Li Shengxuan looked indifferent, and Fang Ziqin said softly: "His Royal Highness King Yucheng is soft-hearted. If it is because of Di Rong's disaster, he will If you want to divorce the person next to you, he will definitely be reluctant to let go."
"Reluctant?" Li Shengxuan was noncommittal, and Fang Ziqin asked casually: "I dare to ask, if Your Majesty and His Highness King Yucheng were to change places, would you divorce the two concubines?"
Li Shengxuan looked at the person in front of him steadily, and had the illusion of seeing Fang Zilan in a trance. Only then did he realize that Fang Ziqin actually had a daring side, but for the sake of the entire Fang family, he hid it well under the identity of the queen.
"No." Just when Fang Ziqin thought Li Shengxuan would not answer, she heard his answer, "Although the left and right princesses were born as Princess Di Rong, they are now the Princess of Dajing. They are not as guilty of the misfortune of the mother clan. .”
"However, they are not innocent." Fang Ziqin hit the nail on the head, while Li Shengxuan looked arrogant, "So what? As long as they can't harm the capital, if you wish, I can keep them."
