Fang Zilan looked stern and said coldly: "I don't understand what the Queen is talking about."
"Not everyone is as involuntary as you said." Fang Ziqin smiled nonchalantly, "One person is honey, this person is arsenic. Just like Master Fang, he risked everything to get a place." It’s like I don’t have to suffer, I’m in the back position, guarding everything I care about, even if I put all my efforts into it, I’m still happy with it.”
Fang Zilan was stunned. It was only now that she truly felt her arrogance. She knew too little about this world, as far as everything that was quietly happening outside, and as close as the subtle changes in expressions between the eyebrows and eyes of the people in front of her.
She always judges others based on her own vision and experience, so she naturally thinks that Li Shengxuan is cruel and ruthless, Zhuge Yu is strategizing, Fang Ziqin hides his sword in his smile, and Fang Zitong is domineering...
It's like labels, drawing the ground as a prison and framing people within it.
She judges everyone's intentions based on their identity, and analyzes everyone's behavior based on their motivations. She seems smart and clever, but she forgets that as long as they are living people, there are always variables. How can a label frame them?
She frames others and limits herself. So in this disaster in the north, she finally came up with a way to injure the enemy by one thousand and damage herself by eight hundred. If Li Shengxuan hadn't stepped forward, she might not have been the only one injured.
Suddenly she suddenly understood what Fang Chongzheng meant when he said that Mr. Fang only felt that he was not thinking well.
The so-called lack of thinking is just an excuse. Now that I think about it, she is not alone. Once the case is investigated, it will not only be the Northern Territory that will be implicated. If she can carefully plan every step of the way, she may not be able to ensure that everyone in the Northern Territory escapes intact.
It's just that she cares about things and acts in extreme ways, which ultimately forces everyone to be on the opposite side. Fang Chongzheng is right, she is indeed just a young and determined hero.
"The Queen, Doctor Wen and Miss Awan are here to take Mr. Fang's pulse." Qiu Shui's voice came from outside the door. Standing next to her were Awan and Wen Ya.
Awan followed her master Wen Ya silently, biting her lips but still couldn't believe the scene she just witnessed.
The master told her last night that she wanted her to use Fang Zilan's use of medicine to make a big fuss today so that he could use the opportunity to dismiss everyone in the Imperial Hospital and sneak out of the palace.
At first she didn't understand what was going on. It wasn't until she followed her master into the Hong'an Pavilion after leaving the palace that she had an idea in her mind. She thought that Ji Ningtian's health was in some condition and the master had to come. .
However, she did not expect to see Huangfulin in Hong'an Pavilion.
When she and her master arrived, Ji Ningtian was meeting guests, and Wu Qing asked them to wait outside Hong'an Pavilion. She stood outside the door, couldn't help but get closer, and heard a familiar voice coming from the pavilion.
Huangfulin stood in front of Ji Ningtian with a look of fear, "Master, I really didn't know that Fang Zilan was Zixiu. If I knew, even if I had ten more courages, I wouldn't dare to embarrass her, let alone frame her..."
Ji Ningtian had a cold expression and impatiently interrupted Huangfulin's chatter, "I didn't intend to let you know Zixiu's identity. After all, she is the target of public scrutiny, and you are my secret plan to keep a low profile. People in the same camp have conflicts of interest..."
He suddenly paused, hummed softly, and then said: "But now that you know it, you don't need me to teach you how to do it, right?"
"I know." Huangfulin nodded in agreement, and then he couldn't help but hesitantly said: "But Zixiu's current behavior is in the same camp..."
He didn't say any more, and Ji Ningtian's expression became even colder, "What do you want to say?"
"Zixiu is the best sword in the world in the hands of the young master. I shouldn't say anything more." Huangfulin said carefully, "It's just that she did not hesitate to die for the people in the north..."
"Death and fame?" Ji Ningtian laughed as if he heard something funny. "Her life can only be mine. If she dies and her name is destroyed, you have to ask me if I agree."
"But..." Huangfulin wanted to say something more, but he saw Ji Ningtian's eyes darkened and he said in a cold voice: "Huangfulin, when you made a contract with my ghost sect, you asked people from the ghost sect to pretend to be golden dead men. , when he assassinated Emperor Ningshun in the northern territory and made a desperate attempt to replace the Shangguan family, were he also so hesitant?"
"I..." Huangfulin was speechless for a moment, as if something was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say anything.
Ji Ningtian's expression was cold, "It turns out that when Shangguan Jing was still alive, Gui Men helped you to make Emperor Ning Shun suspicious of him. You can't replace him for the time being. Now Zixiu helps you get rid of Shangguan Jing, but you can't even see a mere king." If Quan Zhi can’t handle it, why are you still trying to join forces with Wang Quanzhi to deal with Zixiu?”
"If you are incompetent, I can use other dark chess to replace you. But Zixiu..." A gentle look flashed in Ji Ningtian's eyes, "I will not allow anyone to touch her in the slightest. You Can you hear me clearly?"
"It's clear." Huangfulin responded while keenly catching the changes in Ji Ningtian's expression. This change suddenly reminded him of the rumored affair between the Lord of the Ghost Sect and Zixiu in the world.
In order to protect Fang Zilan, Ji Ningtian risked his own life and met him in Hong'an Pavilion privately. Regardless of what he would do if he was discovered, Ji Ningtian, the former prince who was strictly guarded, would inevitably bear the brunt of death.
Now based on Ji Ningtian's reaction to the Northern Territory case, it seems that the rumors are probably true.
Once the contract he made with the Ghost Sect was started, there was no turning back, but if he could get hold of Ji Ningtian, mutual restraint might not mean there would be no way out.
A stern look flashed in Huangfulin's eyes, but his face remained calm as he resigned and left. As soon as he walked to the door, he bumped into Wen Ya and A Wan who had been waiting outside the door.
Awan stared at Huangfulin distractedly, but Wenya didn't react at all. He just pulled her past Huangfulin and walked into Hong'an Pavilion.
When Ji Ningtian saw Huang Fulin leaving, he seemed to be unable to hold on any longer, staggering and sitting on the main seat.
Wu Qing on the side wanted to step forward, but was stopped by his look and could only stay in place.
When Awan followed Wen Ya into Hong'an Pavilion, he saw such a scene.
Wu Qing looked hesitant and stood aside, hesitant. Ji Ningtian was sitting on the main seat, his face was as pale as paper, and his chest was rising and falling, as if he was suffering from great pain.
Seeing this, Wen Ya hurriedly stepped forward and raised his hand to feel Ji Ningtian's pulse.
Ignoring Wen Ya's actions, Ji Ning looked at A Wan steadily and asked in a warm voice: "How is Lan'er?"
