"I have already sent someone to inform the Jingzhao Yin Mansion about the truth." Wei Subaru narrowed his eyes, with a cruel look on his face, "Master Fang, please don't push yourself too far."
"What if I insist on pushing the limit further?" Fang Zilan's hand covered the hilt of the plum sword. Wei Subaru crossed his arms and snorted coldly, "Master Fang, you can give it a try."
Fang Zilan held the plum sword tightly. Before she could move, she heard a panic outside the camp, and the sound of horses neighing from far to near.
She looked back and saw Mrs. Ouyang riding on a tall black horse. Her red cloak was flying in the wind. She held a whip in one hand and pulled the reins in the other. She galloped the horse over the soldiers who were standing there and had no time to dodge. She looked heroic. His erection had no trace of that of a housewife, and his expression was as solemn as that of a general who had just returned from the battlefield. He was completely different from before.
Mrs. Ouyang got off her horse, ignored the astonishment of the people around her, and walked directly in front of Wei Subaru, "Your Excellency Wei Guogong, Mr. Ouyang Wei has something to ask of you today." After saying this, she knelt down on one knee, holding a jade talisman in both hands and presented it to her. In front of Wei Subaru.
Fang Zilan looked around curiously, but saw Wei Subaru's expression stagnant, "This is the life-saving charm the old man gave you, what does it have to do with me?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Ouyang looked up at Wei Subaru and said, neither humble nor arrogant: "Master Wei Guogong, if you are based on seniority, you should call me aunt."
Before she could finish her words, Wei Subaru grabbed her by the neck and lifted her up from the ground, "So, aunt, what do you want?"
"Master Wei, please show mercy!" Fang Zilan hurriedly stepped forward and saw that Mrs. Ouyang had difficulty breathing, but had no intention of struggling.
Seeing this, Wei Subaru seemed to have lost interest and threw the person aside. Fang Zilan hurriedly supported him, "Mrs. Ouyang, how are you? Are you injured anywhere..."
Mrs. Ouyang patted Fang Zilan's arm to indicate that she was fine, then stood up straight, looked at Wei Subaru steadily and said, "I want Zirou to be safe, and I want her to come back alive."
Fang Zilan's expression suddenly changed, "Mrs. Ouyang, what did you say?"
"The Ouyang family didn't want Ouyang Zirou to join the Ministry of Industry, so they used sleeve arrows and improved crossbows as an excuse to direct and act in a show." Wei Subaru curled his lips and smiled sarcastically, "Why, now Mrs. Ouyang regrets it?"
Mrs. Ouyang's face turned pale, "I never thought..."
"Even if Ouyang Zongrui cannot hold up the wall with mud, he is still very courageous under your connivance." Wei Subaru interrupted her coldly, "When you tacitly allowed Ouyang Zongrui to instruct soldiers from the camp on the outskirts of Beijing to give false testimony, you I should have thought that he would attack Ouyang Zirou. After all, Pei Pening would dare to poison Duke Jun, let alone your lawless son?"
"It's my fault in raising my son..." Mrs. Ouyang's voice trailed off, "Mr. Wei Guogong, I beg you, for the sake of Mr. Wei, please save Zirou and bring her back safely, okay?"
"Mrs. Ouyang, you are so confused." Wei Subaru shook his head and said helplessly: "Now that the matter is at this point, do you think Ouyang Zongrui will leave Ouyang Zirou with such a handle for others to catch? If you go to find it now, I'm afraid you can only Ouyang Zirou’s body was found.”
"Sir, wait a minute." A Wan's voice suddenly broke into everyone's ears. She walked quickly to Fang Zilan and took the mask from her hand. She didn't care about the looks of others and examined it carefully.
Li Qiyou's expression darkened a bit, and he looked at Fang Zilan and said, "Who is this? How dare he act so boldly."
"Your Majesty, please calm down." Fang Zilan said calmly: "This is the medical lady of my residence. She came with me to the palace to pay my respects this time."
Hearing her words, Awan raised his head calmly and said respectfully: "Awan has met the prince."
After saying that, she looked at Fang Zilan and said: "There are many rules in the palace, so Awan took a while to come over. Don't blame Master Fang."
Li Qiyou's expression became increasingly gloomy, and he said in a cold voice: "Master Fang, what do you mean by this? Could it be that you can't trust this king?"
A Wan smiled brightly and said, "My lord, don't be surprised. Mr. Fang of my family is worried about the country and the people, but he never pays attention to his own affairs. I, the person around me, will inevitably have to worry about it, so it is always right to be cautious."
Li Qiyou snorted and stopped talking. After checking it, Awan handed the mask in Fang Zilan's hand.
The people watching all around were whispering to each other, and Awan frowned in displeasure at the nonchalant talk, but due to his status, he could only let them point.
"Girl, you've finished the examination, are there any problems?" Li Qiyou's tone was unkind, and Awan said, neither humble nor arrogant, "No. The prince's gentlemanly demeanor is what Awan has in mind. I hope that the prince will be considerate."
Her expression showed no timidity, and her words were courteous. With Fang Zilan by his side, Li Qiyou did not dare to embarrass her for the moment, so he had no choice but to give up.
Seeing Li Qiyou keeping a straight face and saying nothing, others naturally did not dare to say anything, and the scene suddenly became deserted.
Until Pei Xiaoze stood up and broke the deadlock, "Do you have anything else to say, Your Majesty?"
His words relaxed the atmosphere just right. Li Qiyou nodded slightly and checked the details of the social opera performance with everyone one by one. After confirming that they were correct, he and everyone went to the high stage of Zhuque Street.
The high platform is backed by the palace wall and towers, and is connected to Zhuque Street. The street had long been crowded with people watching the social opera. The fence not far in front of the high platform blocked them out, but it still couldn't stop their excitement. Everyone's face was filled with joyful smiles, and there was noisy And lively.
Fang Zilan looked at the people outside from a distance behind the stage, and was unconsciously infected by their happiness. She gently raised the corners of her lips and smiled softly.
Awan also had a cheerful expression on her face. She waved to Fang Zilan and shouted loudly: "I couldn't get in, so I watched from outside with Deputy General Cao. Be careful!"
Fang Zilan also waved to her, indicating that she didn't have to worry, and then watched her jumping and blending into the crowd of people in the market with Deputy General Cao.
Zhuge Yu looked at the bustling crowd with a soothing and relaxed expression, and couldn't help but said: "New Year's Eve in the capital is indeed very lively."
His voice was very soft, but Fang Zilan still heard it.
She turned her head to look at Zhuge Yu, her eyes flashing and said: "A Yu, it's time to celebrate the New Year."
A simple sentence, but it made him feel extremely warm.
Wei Subaru on the other side crossed his arms and looked at the two of them funny, and said to Pei Xiaoze beside him: "Look at the two of them, it seems like they are celebrating the New Year for the first time in their lives."
Pei Xiaoze smiled and said noncommittally, "Master Wei is actually in a peaceful mood, making it difficult to see how happy he is."
Wei Subaru withdrew his gaze and whispered as if talking to himself: "Year after year, like smoke and dust, very boring. It's just to pass the time, I don't see any difference."
Boring? Pei Xiaoze looked at Wei Subaru's unruly appearance and felt a trace of envy in his heart, but he quickly returned to normal after a moment.
