"What's wrong?" Fang Zilan was confused and heard Zhuge Yu say: "The Xiahou family wants Awan."
"What do you mean?" Fang Zilan was obviously anxious, and Zhuge Yu quickly explained: "The Xiahou siblings went to Zhongling Temple, and the head of the family, Xiahou Mingxun, was injured."
"Can you hurt the head of the Xiahou family..." Fang Zilan pondered for a moment, "Is he from the ghost sect?"
Zhuge Yu didn't answer, but seemed to acquiesce. Fang Zilan immediately understood, "Since he is such an important person, why didn't the Xiahou family tell me directly? And they also used your name to lie to me and make false claims to the east and lure the tiger away from the mountain?"
"I think it's because I'm afraid that you will collude with the Ghost Sect and refuse to let me go." Zhuge Yu raised his voice slightly so that Li Qiyou and Su Yun could hear the conversation behind them, "After all, something happened to the Wu family in Lingnan. The wife of the head of the Xiahou family has returned to her parents’ home.”
Fang Zilan couldn't help but ask: "What happened to the Wu family in Lingnan?"
"It is said to be related to banned poisonous insects and poisonous weeds." The person who answered was Su Yun, and the one with a gloomy look was Li Qiyou.
"What did your Highness think of?" Fang Zilan had something to say, and Li Qiyou remained silent.
The death of King Rongan is inseparable from the poisonous insects and poisonous weeds, which means that the Wu family in Lingnan is involved. And Xiahou Mingxun's wife Wu Ying is the daughter of the Wu family. Then the Xiahou family...
Li Qiyou didn't dare to think about it anymore. Su Yun looked at him and hesitated to speak. This look in Fang Zilan's eyes was naturally very suspicious.
Amidst the lightning and flint, Fang Zilan suddenly remembered that the Su family's pharmaceuticals were extremely strange. Could it be related to the banned poisonous insects and poisonous weeds?
No one said anything for a while, until Dugu Ming came back and left with Li Qiyou, Su Yun also left, leaving only Fang Zilan and Zhuge Yu.
"A Yu." Fang Zilan couldn't help but say, "The Xiahou family is afraid that I will collude with the ghost sect, aren't you afraid?"
"What Sister Lan said..." Zhuge Yu paused, "Don't you think it's too late to ask?"
Fang Zilan was startled, and a smile appeared on her lips, "From then to today, Ayu, are you willing to answer me?"
"What I believe has always been your actions, not you." Zhuge Yu said frankly, and Fang Zilan's smile grew wider, "That's enough."
After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the back hall, going straight to Xie Chen.
"The Crown Prince's wife arrived sooner than I expected." Xie Chen was not surprised, "It seems that Master Zhuge has told you."
"The Xiahou family wants Awan to treat the head of the family, that's fine." Fang Zilan got straight to the point, "But you have to pay a corresponding reward."
Xie Chen smiled slightly, "Miss Awan hasn't spoken yet, but Mrs. Shizi is not polite."
Fang Zilan curled her lips and said, "I am from the Fang family. The Fang family was born as a merchant, and they always spend money. Didn't Mr. Xie never think that I would come to ask for payment?"
The reward she wanted was, of course, not only Awan's treatment for Xiahou Mingxun, but also a trip to Zhongling Temple.
Xie Chen's heart was like a mirror, "Since the Crown Prince's wife wants to argue, let's calculate it carefully."
"That's not what I meant." Fang Zilan waved her hand, and Xie Chen did not pursue her, "What does Madam Prince mean?"
"I want to see Master Ranzhu." Fang Zilan said bluntly, while Xie Chen remained calm, "With the ability of Madam Prince, if you want to see Master Ranzhu, you don't have to go through me at all."
Fang Zilan looked at Xie Chen steadily, "Does Mr. Xie agree or not?"
"Please, Madam Prince." Xie Chen raised his hand, but Fang Zilan did not accept his invitation. "There are some things I want to say to Master Ranzhu alone."
Xie Chen thought thoughtfully, "Please help yourself, madam." He said, took out the government token and handed it to Fang Zilan.
Murong Qing looked at Meng Tingyang and said, "How is the matter I want you to investigate?"
"Everything has been checked." Meng Tingyang paused and glanced at Tao Zhiwei warily.
"We'll talk about it when we get back." Murong calmed down and said thoughtfully, "It's time. Send a message to Mr. Zuo and ask him to contact Di Rong's department."
Fang Zilan was shocked when she heard about Di Rong's tribe. Before she could react, she heard Tao Zhiwei excitedly say: "Murong Qing, how dare you collaborate with the enemy..."
Before she finished speaking, Meng Tingyang held her hands behind her back with one hand and covered her mouth with the other.
Murong Qing snorted coldly and said: "A puppet should look like a puppet. Tao Zhiwei, who do you think you are?"
After he finished speaking, he walked up to Tao Zhiwei. Meng Tingyang put down his hand covering her mouth. She was about to say something but he choked her tightly, "Killing you is like squeezing an ant to death for me." Just as easy."
Tao Zhiwei's eyes were full of fear, but Murong Qing suddenly softened his expression and said softly: "As long as you are obedient, I won't do anything to you."
As he spoke, he relaxed his strength, and his fingers traced the red marks on Tao Zhiwei's neck inch by inch, as if he was caressing and playing with a piece of delicate porcelain.
Tao Zhiwei subconsciously wanted to hide, but the moment she met his clear and innocent eyes, she lost the ability to move.
Murong Qing calmly approached Tao Zhiwei's ear, opening and closing her thin lips gracefully, but the words he said made her shudder.
"But if you refuse, then I have no choice but to let you stay with Grandma Xing."
Tao Zhiwei's face was filled with shock, and her voice was shaking violently, "Murong Qing, you... are the devil..."
"Yes." Murong Qing nodded with satisfaction, raised the corners of his lips and said: "I was injured today because you deliberately left me alone. From now on, you will be in the house and examine yourself. You will see nothing, nothing." Hear. Got it? My lady."
"You..." Tao Zhiwei was trembling all over, "You want to imprison me, how dare you..."
"If I send a message back to Miluo, saying that you colluded with the Dajing family and tried to harm me..." Murong Qing smiled almost demonically, "What do you think will happen to the Tao family?"
Tao Zhiwei's eyes were red, and Murong Qing patted her face gently, smiling even louder, "Do you think that relying on the ancestor's relationship with the Yin and Yang family, the high priest will protect the Tao family? As long as I want, the Tao family will be there at any time. They can all be reduced to ashes."
"Your Majesty." Meng Tingyang said slowly: "I am willing to be sent by you to protect the prince. But Di Rong's tribe..."
"A wolf's ambition is just that of a beast. I didn't expect him to be very obedient." Murong Qing suppressed a smile, his eyes were a little colder, but his tone was still casual, "It's a pity that the emperor of Dajing didn't understand, and thought that Di Rong would pay tribute just because he was a vassal. I will obey you. In that case, I don’t mind letting him see it more clearly.”
Meng Tingyang was silent, and Murong Qing looked at him with interest, "Power is a sharp edge. If you don't control the enemy, you will hurt yourself. If you choose me, you can't hesitate."
"Yes." Meng Tingyang saluted, and Murong Qing seemed to have suddenly lost all his strength. He stumbled back and fell on the couch, "Okay, I'll rest for a while and then go back to the house."
