Fang Zilan grabbed Ouyang Zirou's arm, "He wants you to die, and you still want him to live?"
After recovering from her hand injury, Ouyang Zirou began to practice writing. However, it was difficult to write so many words, and her hands shook involuntarily, but she still struggled hard.
Fang Zilan was afraid that she would be injured again, so she quickly let go, "I know that the head of the Ouyang family and his wife have passed away, and Ouyang Zongrui is the person you are closest to in the world, but..."
"No buts", the four words twisted like an insect crawling, but they reveal an undeniable determination.
Fang Zilan was silent, but Ouyang Zirou continued to write: "Please help me persuade General Huangfu to return to the north."
Her hands were shaking so much that every stroke became weaker and weaker, but she still managed to finish writing a sentence.
"Zi Rou, are you unwilling to follow Huangfu Xin to the North?" Fang Zilan frowned slightly, and was about to say something else when she saw Qiao Nian walking in and said, "Master Fang, my master's ambition is not to go to the North. useless."
"Master?" Fang Zilan looked at Qiao Nian and then at Ouyang Zirou, "When will you..."
She didn't continue, Qiao Nian explained: "Two days ago, master asked me if I would like to be her apprentice and follow her to build weapons and armaments. I agreed."
Fang Zilan frowned even more tightly, and Qiao Nian thought she didn't believe him, so she added: "Master Fang, although I haven't read any books and don't know many Chinese characters, I can understand the master's meaning by knowing sign language, and I'm very strong. Now that she's older, it won't be a problem to do anything like blacksmithing. I can do whatever the master can't do for her..."
She seemed to realize something mid-sentence, and changed her voice and said: "Just think of it as having an extra maid to serve tea and take care of others until Master recovers..."
Fang Zilan looked at Qiao Nian helplessly. Her voice became weaker and weaker, until she became silent and wring her fingers.
"Since you don't want to go to the north, it's better to stay in the capital." Fang Zilan calmed her expression, but Qiao Nian waved her hand, "Master and I are not staying in the capital, we are going to Jiangnan."
"Jiangnan?" A look of surprise flashed in Fang Zilan's eyes. Qiao Nian nodded and said, "Master wants to ask a descendant of a certain master for advice."
Master Lu's descendants, Fang Zilan thought secretly in her heart, but did not say it out loud. She just said clearly: "It's okay. Zirou has aspirations in all directions. It would be a pity to stay in the capital. Taking this opportunity to walk around, maybe there will be some A different opportunity.”
As she spoke, she looked at Qiao Nian and handed over a golden plum blossom she had brought with her. "Miss Qiao, please take good care of Zi Rou. If you encounter any difficulties along the way, take this golden plum blossom with you." The pawn shop has been pawned.”
"This is..." Qiao Nian hesitated for a moment and did not take the golden plum blossom. "Since Brother Xu and his mother passed away, I have nothing to spend money on. Lord Fang, don't worry, I have money and can take care of you." Good Master."
Fang Zilan raised her lips and smiled, but did not take her hand back. Instead, Ouyang Zirou bowed and reached out to take the golden plum blossom in her palm.
However, Xu had written too many words just now. As soon as Ouyang Zirou picked up the golden plum blossom, she felt as if she had lost all strength. There was a clanging sound, and the golden plum blossoms rolled to the ground.
Qiao Nian quickly picked it up and presented it in front of Ouyang Zirou respectfully. Seeing this, Fang Zilan felt a little relieved.
Now that Ouyang Zirou is alone, it would be hard to feel at ease if she leaves the capital. But it was different with Qiao Nian by her side. Qiao Nian was also alone and carefree. She was simple-minded and acted recklessly, but she had a desperate spirit. If she followed her sincerely, she would probably take good care of her.
The most important thing is that Qiao Nian has never been involved in the court situation and has seen the evil people. It would be easier for Ouyang Zirou to face her than anyone else.
Thinking of this, Fang Zilan breathed a long sigh of relief, "Zi Rou, I'll go to Huangfu Xin's side and tell him that I will also write a letter to His Majesty for you to plead for Ouyang Zongrui. You can stay here in peace, and I will personally come to you after the New Year. I’ll take you and Miss Qiao out of Beijing.”
Awan led her to the cart containing the herbs and took out a wooden box from the pile of herbs. "I just found this when I was sorting the herbs. Take a look."
"This was not something we prepared before. Someone secretly put it in while we were not paying attention." Fang Zilan said as he opened the wooden box. The letter that came into view read: Personally signed by Lord Fang Zilan.
She frowned and said nothing, but took out the letter from the box and gave the wooden box to Awan.
"Who secretly put it in?" Awan looked at the medicinal materials placed under the letter. After fiddling with them for a long time, he sighed, "I have to say, this person is quite considerate. It's not an exaggeration to say that he provided help in times of need."
"Su Yun secretly put it there." Fang Zilan read the contents of the letter at a glance. "He said that he was responsible for his duties and could not come with us. He could only prepare some medicinal materials to express his feelings."
"Master Su is really thoughtful." Awan held the wooden box in front of Fang Zilan, but her brows furrowed even more tightly, "You praise Su Yun so much, does he know medicine? Or are the medicinal materials he put there What special effect does it have?"
"Don't you know this?" Awan explained seriously: "The ancestors of the Su family were all alchemists. The reason why they are able to hold the position of public minister today is because there was an emperor in the previous dynasty who was obsessed with the art of immortality and reused Su. Family. In addition, their ancestors were quick-thinking and knew that the art of alchemy would not last long, and most of their descendants would take the serious path of becoming officials. Therefore, in this dynasty, almost no one knows about the past of the Su family. "
Fang Zilan asked curiously: "Then why do you know?"
"Of course my master told me." Awan looked like she was seeing her strangely. "You don't know that the medicine I used to soak the silk handkerchief was modified by my master according to a secret recipe of the Su family. Now. With these medicinal materials put in by Mr. Su, I can make more silk handkerchiefs for emergencies."
"So, it's time to thank Su Yun." Fang Zilan thought thoughtfully, raised her eyebrows and said, "When we go back, I will thank him in person."
Ah Wan put away the medicinal materials as if they were treasures, "There is one more thing I want to tell you. Miss Qinghan's father's symptoms are relatively mild, so he can only use medicine for observation for the time being. But Uncle Wang, I'm afraid it won't be possible to just use medicine."
She paused and whispered: "In addition to using medicine, I would like to try acupuncture for Uncle Wang again. But I can't guarantee whether this method is feasible or what the result will be."
"Do your best and obey fate." Fang Zilan reached out and held her hand, and comforted her in a gentle voice: "Awan, just go ahead and do it. Even if the result is not satisfactory, it is better than having regrets."
"Okay." Awan seemed to have made up his mind and said firmly: "I will do my best."
