Xiao Xuan'er broke the silence, "Sister Lan, everyone in the house except A Wan can see that A Shi is interested in you. Now that he has gone to the Fang family, it is not a bad thing."
"Moved?" Fang Zilan repeated these four words noncommittally, and couldn't help but find it funny. Not to mention that she treated Ah Shi as a child, she actually knew Ah Shi's thoughts better than anyone else.
"Ah Shi regarded me as a high branch. The startling glance when I first entered the flower house was done deliberately." Fang Zilan's voice was very soft, but it still reached Xiao Xuan'er's ears, making her startled.
"You've all told me all this." Fang Zilan stared at the fiery sunset intently, feeling her eyes sore and her voice a little astringent, "When he told me this, I was thinking about myself. Why did I choose Your Majesty as a high-ranking official to realize my ambitions and ambitions?"
Her voice became a little darker, "I asked myself that I also used my thoughts and tricks. If this is the case, why should I criticize Ah Shi harshly?"
Mo Han's hands hidden in her sleeves clenched into fists, "Sister Lan, you are obviously just..."
"Just what?" Fang Zilan interrupted him, "Whether it is wise to protect oneself, or whether the mountains and rivers are eternal, no matter what the reason is, I took advantage of His Majesty's momentum to advance. This is an indisputable fact."
Hearing this, Xiao Xuan'er lowered her eyes and said, "Flowers will never bloom forever, and branches and leaves will never grow. If one day..." She paused suddenly, and then said, "Master Fang, have you thought of a way out?"
Fang Zilan raised the corners of her lips and smiled, "What a coincidence, Ah Shi asked me that too."
Mo Han's expression was complicated. Based on his understanding of Fang Zilan, she would probably say to Ah Shi, "You should have confidence in me," or other such understatement. However...
He knew very well that Fang Zilan was caught between Li Shengxuan and Ji Ningtian. They were in a dilemma and there was no way out. No matter what he said, it was just self-deception.
"I would rather die holding the fragrance on the branches than blow it down in the north wind." Ah Shi's voice suddenly sounded, Fang Zilan looked back, the sky was getting dark, and the figure of the young man under the corridor seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, not very real, but straight The ground stood erect.
"You still remember." Fang Zilan smiled carelessly. Ah Shi walked up to her and saluted solemnly, "Master Fang, I'm here to say goodbye."
Fang Zilan was silent, watching Ah Shi salute uprightly, then stood up, and looked at her for the first time and said: "Master Fang, please take great care of me."
"You too." Fang Zilan pursed her lips, "In everything, you put yourself first. I hope Ah Shi will live a long and worry-free life."
"Then why did you lie to me?" Fang Zilan's voice was as cold as ice, and Awan's tone trembled involuntarily, "Young Master didn't let me tell you, because he was afraid that you would be heartbroken when you saw the drug doll who tested the medicine for you. I can’t bear it.”
"What's the difference between the medicine puppets who tested the medicine for me?" Fang Zilan's voice had an imperceptible tremor, but Awan still heard it.
She hesitated for a moment, and the dagger in Fang Zilan's sleeve was already placed at her neck, "If the young master asks, just say that I am threatening my life. You have to tell me."
"Fang Zilan!" Awan turned sideways to avoid the dagger at her neck. Unexpectedly, the dagger followed her like a shadow and stopped at her neck. It was exactly the same but had no intention of hurting her.
"Say!" Fang Zilan almost shouted, Awan clenched her fists and her eyes were red, "That medicine puppet was made by Master, looking for a woman who was born at the same time as you. You also know that the Gu in you is unique in the world, Therefore, the master fed her medicine and introduced hundreds of voodoos, just to imitate your state when the voodoo was active, so as to try out a method of restraint."
Fang Zilan remained silent for a long time before asking: "Is she in pain?"
Awan didn't expect that she would ask this question, and nodded lightly, "The medicine doll is more sensitive than ordinary people, and it hurts more than you when the poison takes effect. But you also know my master's methods, and the medicine doll in his hand is the only You can't live without dying."
"That's enough." Fang Zilan's voice revealed indescribable fatigue, "Awan, if you need to test medicine, just try it on me. No need for a medicine partner."
"How can this work?" A Wan's eyes were full of astonishment, "If you don't get the medicine right, your life will be in danger. What's more, you know how painful it is when your poison attacks..."
"I can still bear the pain." Fang Zilan interrupted Awan, as if he didn't want to say more.
Awan didn't care so much, "Even if you can bear it, feeding the Gu and bleeding it will be so painful that it will take half of your life..."
"I don't feel pain anymore." Fang Zilan's voice was a little lower, but Awan was so struck by her words that she couldn't recover for a long time. After a while, she said in a daze: "What did you say?"
"Except when the poison attacks, I don't feel any pain." Fang Zilan looked calm, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.
Awan came back to her senses and suddenly took her hand. Silver light flashed across her fingertips, and a red mark suddenly appeared on her palm. However, she did not even frown and allowed the back of the hidden weapon in Awan's hand to scratch her face. His hands showed no reaction at all.
"Little Awan, even if you scratch me with the bladed side, I won't feel the pain." There was a hint of bitterness in Fang Zilan's tone. As soon as he turned it over, there was already a trace of blood on his palm.
Her movements were so fast that Awan had no time to stop him. He could only watch helplessly as she scratched her palm until it was bloody and bloody. She couldn't help but cry out, "Fang Zilan, what are you doing? You don't want me to be a medicine puppet, so I won't." That’s it, why did you hurt yourself?”
"Little Awan, I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me. Are there many such things in these years?" Fang Zilan lowered her eyes and looked at the hidden weapon in her hand. It was originally a cold light, but because of the contamination Her blood became filthy.
Isn't she like this? It has been stained with the blood of too many people, so why bother showing mercy here?
"I am a killer." She raised her head, and the cold look in her eyes shocked Awan, "My life has always been exchanged for other people's lives."
"I know." Awan answered hastily, biting her lips, "I know it's not easy for us in the ghost community to survive. Either you die or I live. But..."
"No buts." Fang Zilan interrupted Awan in a deep voice, "I just want to know, how confident are you that you can be a drug puppet to test medicine for me?"
"50% sure." Awan thought for a while and added, "I know you can't bear it, but I only need one person. As long as you agree to me being this medicine puppet, I will only succeed and not fail."
"I believe you." Fang Zilan allowed Awan to take away the hidden weapon in her hand and clean and bandage her wounds. "Whatever you need, I will help you find it."
