"This... Miss Fang San has lost both her energy and blood, and I'm afraid she won't live forever." Cai Cheng was so frightened that he simply closed his eyes and stamped his feet and said, "Even if I can survive this winter, I'm afraid it will be hard to reach thirty. "
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Qiu Chan's eyes turned red on the spot, and she rushed out to fight Cai Cheng.
Fang Zilan stared at Cai Cheng in disbelief, tears welling up in her eyes, "How could it be..." The despair in her eyes did not seem to be fake, which made everyone present sigh.
King Rong'an's guard relaxed for a moment, Qiu Chan tried her best to break free and ran to Fang Zilan, "Miss..."
Fang Zilan struggled to stand up with Qiu Chan's support, her tears streaming down her face with determination, "Thank you, Dr. Cai, for telling the truth."
"Master Prime Minister, do you have something to say to me?" Fang Zilan calmed down and returned to his usual cold look.
"Ah, you should recognize this child." Fang Chongzheng did not talk to Fang Zilan, so she nodded directly and said, "I recognize him."
"I heard from Lihui that at the beginning of this year, you handed over all the operations under the name of the Duke of Yue and the business in the north to Ah Shi. If he can detect something so keenly, others will also notice it." Fang Chongzheng With a serious expression, he said, "This is just the beginning, not the end."
"I know." Fang Zilan sighed quietly, "If King Rong'an is unwilling, he may have to kill all the Fang Zilan in the capital before he will give up."
"Who wants Fang Zilan to die, and it's not just King Rongan?" Fang Chongzheng had a look of unbearability in his eyes, "If you are willing, you might as well leave the capital. With the Fang family to rely on, the world is vast, and the rivers and lakes are far away. You can rely on Walk with your heart.”
Hearing this, Fang Zilan smiled slightly, "It sounds good."
"But you don't want to, don't you?" Fang Chongzheng gave the expected answer, and Fang Zilan hummed, "The people I care about are all in the capital, how can I leave the capital and be alone?"
Fang Chongzheng shook his head helplessly, "Have you thought about it?"
"It has never been my style to stay out of things." Fang Zilan straightened her sleeves carelessly, "What's more, the prime minister also said that someone will cause trouble for the third lady of the prime minister's house. At this juncture, I, the third lady of the prime minister's house, left the capital rashly, Aren't you going to cause trouble to the Fang family? I never like to cause trouble to others."
"Really?" Fang Chongzheng was noncommittal. He naturally knew that Fang Zilan was telling the truth, but with her temperament, she would never keep such words in her heart. This was the first time she said it so straightforwardly.
For some reason, even though he only met her a few times, he always felt that the person in front of him was different from the Fang Zilan before. So when Di Rong received the Feng Banquet, he believed Princess Erya's words in a daze - she was under this body. , in fact, he is already another person.
Fang Zilan raised the corners of her lips and said with a smile: "Dad, if you don't believe in my daughter, my daughter will be sad."
Her tone was quite coquettish, even if it was Fang Chongzheng, he coughed lightly and said, "Lan'er, don't make trouble."
Fang Zilan immediately changed back to her well-behaved ladylike appearance, gave a bow and said yes.
In the next few days, as Fang Chongzheng said, there were waves of people testing the third lady of the prime minister's house. How could the thin and sick third lady resist such kindness, so she fell ill within two days.
On the day Fang Zilan became ill, she happened to catch up with the flower party held by Mrs. Wang Quanrui, the Minister of Rites. In previous years, she would never be invited to such an occasion. Firstly, she was the concubine of the prime minister's house, and secondly, she was notoriously weak.
In fact, in the first two years when she turned ten, there were many aristocratic family activities such as flower parties and tea parties. I pretended to invite her once or twice. After being rejected every time, I never sent an invitation to Baoxiu Pavilion again. .
After all, with a young lady as famous as Fang Ziqin in the capital, and a charming and noble daughter like Fang Zitong, who would remember that there is such an incompetent third lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion?
Over time, Fang Zilan, the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, was forgotten by many aristocratic families in the capital. However, this year was different. A Yue Duke with the same name as her committed a heinous crime. Once he fell from the clouds and fell into the dust, the dignitaries of the high family remembered her, the young lady with the same name.
After participating in several activities, Fang Zilan gradually realized that perhaps it was the peace in the world in recent years or the prosperity and peace in the capital that made the nobles of these aristocratic families quite boring and lonely. They wanted to add some spice to this empty life, but were determined not to. If you are willing to sacrifice yourself to entertain others, you can only hope that something will happen to someone day and night, and then you can mock them arbitrarily. This can be regarded as a way to pass the time in life.
The moon was hazy and the stars were dim. In the dark night, Zilan's white fox fur cloak stood out. She was half leaning on the railing, but for some reason she suddenly looked towards the window.
Fang Zitong felt guilty for no reason. Although the windows were closed, she always felt that Fang Zilan had passed through the window paper and seen her through.
So she simply turned her back and didn't look at the people outside. She walked back to the bed and lay down, staring at the bed curtain above her head for a long time, and then slowly closed her eyes.
Perhaps because he knew Fang Zilan was outside, or perhaps because the past few days were too long and exhausted, Fang Zitong stopped tossing and turning and quickly fell asleep.
Fang Zilan heard that there was no movement in the room, so she closed her eyes to rest and thought carefully about everything that happened in the Pei family.
According to Dong Xue, Fang Zitong shot Pei Juanqing with a Xiuqian out of self-defense. Although she saw only a scratch, Pei Juanqing died. The most suspicious weapon, the Xiuqian, must have been tampered with. Maybe it's quenched with poison.
The key question is, who quenched the poison on the sleeve arrows? What's that person's purpose?
Seeing the behavior of the Pei family in the daytime, it was clear that they wanted to unjustly kill Fang Zitong, so the real reason for Pei Juiqing's death would be concealed.
From this point of view, the person behind it either made Fang Zitong his scapegoat, or used Pei Jueqing's death to kill Fang Zitong, thus dragging the entire Fang family down.
No matter what the reason is, this person hates Pei Juqing very much, and he has no good intentions towards Fang Zitong and the Fang family. The Pei family should be the latter, if we say the former...
No matter how much he hates her, he will not kill Pei Juqing easily for the sake of family glory.
After all, no matter how desperate the Pei family is, they know very well that once Pei Juanqing dies, no one will be able to support the family. It will be a matter of time before the Pei family collapses and declines.
But if it wasn't the Pei family, who could it be?
Fang Zilan frowned, feeling like she was in a fog, everything around her was confusing, and she couldn't grasp anything.
Drowsily, she vaguely heard Fang Zitong's voice, and when she opened her eyes again, it was already dawn.
