With a crisp "clang" sound, the wine cup in Li Qiyou's hand hit the ground and shattered into pieces. His face became even more gloomy and almost terrifying, "What do you mean, sister Huang?"
He rarely calls Li Qianning the imperial sister in such a strange way. It is not only a question, but also a deterrent to clarify his identity - even if today is at Miluo's reception banquet, and Li Qianning will be the Queen of Miluo in the future, he, Li Qiyou, is still her. His royal brother, King Yucheng of Dajing.
Li Qianning didn't say anything, but just raised her hand, and the palace maid who was close to her took out the imperial edict of the Empress Dowager and read it word for word.
Li Qiyou couldn't listen to those words of pity for Murong Qing, he couldn't listen to those words of wishing the two countries to be a happy couple forever, and he couldn't even listen to those words of praise for Fang Zilan.
The only thing he heard was "to make a covenant and vow to become friends of two surnames." These words that sent Fang Zilan to Miluo Zhongzheng Prince's Palace were like a knife, piercing his heart.
"I object." As if out of control, Li Qiyou heard his own voice, word for word, resolutely.
Immediately, the whole court fell silent. Li Qianning's expression changed, but she still managed to curl her lips, "Is the emperor drunk? This is what grandma meant..."
"No matter who it is." Li Qiyou stood up, looked directly into Li Qianning's eyes, and said without any doubt: "I object."
Mu Chuji looked at Li Qiyou playfully, thinking that he indeed had an affair with Fang Zilan. When they bumped into each other in a secluded place that day, the woman he held in his arms must be Fang Zilan.
I just didn't expect that Li Qiyou would openly refute Li Qianning, their future queen of Miluo, for Fang Zilan. Wouldn't this trample Mu Churui's face to the ground?
"His Royal Highness King Yucheng." Mu Churui looked embarrassed and said slowly: "After all, this is the decree of the Empress Dowager Dajing. Even if His Highness is dissatisfied, he should not be so disrespectful."
Hearing this, Li Qiyou's face became even more ugly. He walked to Fang Zilan, but saw her standing up, looking at him steadily and saying, "What are you doing, Your Highness?"
She paused as she spoke, "If he can't keep his word, our relationship will end here."
Ming Xiang saw Fang Zilan's hesitation and bowed: "Master, please rest assured that I will rescue Mr. Ah Shi on the premise of protecting myself."
After she said that, she turned and left. Awan looked at her back, and finally stamped her feet and chased after her, "Miss Mingxiang, wait for me, I'll go with you."
Fang Zilan shook her head helplessly, then rejected several guests from Zuiyue Tower who wanted to discuss business with Qianjinfang, and took medicine early to rest.
That night, Fang Zilan was awakened by a nightmare and couldn't fall asleep, so she simply got up, put on a cloak, and went out for a walk.
The weather has not warmed up yet, so the Zuiyue Tower, built on the water, becomes even colder at night. Fang Zilan raised her hand and gathered her cloak, covering herself tightly.
"Miss Qianjinfang Zhen?" A charming voice came from behind Fang Zilan. She looked back and saw Huo Chun'er, the daughter of the Daomen Huo family, standing under a lantern not far away, with a unique charm in the flickering light and shadow.
Seeing Fang Zilan stop, Huo Chun'er walked to her side in a few steps and said, "What a coincidence, you can't sleep either?"
Fang Zilan looked at the person in front of her and said lukewarmly: "Is there something wrong with Nuxia Huo?"
"Huh? I'm just saying hello and chatting with you." Huo Chun'er patted Fang Zilan on the shoulder and smiled heartily, "Don't be so guarded."
"I'm going back to my room to rest. Huo Nuxia, please help yourself." Fang Zilan avoided Huo Chun'er's hand without leaving a trace, and was about to leave when she saw Mr. Liu from Canghai coming in a hurry from the opposite side, saying anxiously: "Chun'er ,how are you feeling?"
Hearing this, Fang Zilan frowned slightly and looked at Huo Chun'er subconsciously, but saw that the smile on her face did not change, "Mr. Liu, it's okay for me, just come out and get some fresh air. Don't worry."
After speaking, she turned to Fang Zilan and explained: "I have heart palpitations, which often occur in the middle of the night. Mr. Liu has a close relationship with the Huo family, so he has always taken care of my illness."
Fang Zilan felt her heart beat faster and couldn't help but ask: "Did the Wheel-Winning King die in the encirclement and suppression?"
"How dare you say "care"?" Mr. Liu waved his hand and said: "After so many years, I have not been able to cure your heart palpitations. I am really ashamed."
"My disease is congenital." Huo Chun'er shrugged indifferently, "How can a person defeat the sky?"
Fang Zilan pursed her lips, "No one knows destiny, but I see that Huo Nuxia is a broad-minded person. I think she will not be trapped by heart palpitations, and she will definitely have her own world in the future."
"Miss Chengzhen's good wishes." Huo Chun'er cupped her fists and saluted, "In that case, I might as well tell the girl some news."
"I'm all ears." Fang Zilan returned the salute and heard Huo Chun'er say: "Although I don't know whether the sword in Miss Zhen's hand is Zi Xiu's plum sword, but I know that Qianjinfang has been tracking down the news about Zi Xiu."
Fang Zilan looked serious, "Huo Nuxia, there are rules in Qianjinfang. Any news about Zixiu, as long as it is true, will be paid in thousands of gold."
"Miss Zhen is serious." Huo Chun'er hurriedly said: "I have a crush on Miss Zhen, and this news is not about Zixiu herself."
Fang Zilan raised her eyebrows, "If it's not the news about Zixiu herself, is it the news about the people around her?"
Huo Chun'er nodded and continued, "Yes, about half a year ago, Daomen Huo Family, Xiaojing Lake, Diancang Mountain... Oh, anyway, the sects that can be named organized an siege together, and they were The person who was encircled and suppressed was the Wheel-turning King of the Ghost Sect, and I heard that he had a close relationship with Zixiu."
Fang Zilan felt her heart beat faster and couldn't help but ask: "Later, did the Wheel-Winning King die in the encirclement and suppression?"
"So Qianjinfang really doesn't know about this?" Mr. Liu couldn't help but interjected. Fang Zilan was stunned for a moment, "Why did Mr. Liu say this?"
"Mr. Liu, when my father spent a lot of money to ask Qianjinfang for buying information, the money was returned intact, which means Qianjinfang must not have known about it. Do you still think it is fake?" Huo Chun'er replied impatiently, Mr. Liu Hesitantly, "That's not what I meant..."
"Nvxia Huo, what on earth do you want to say?" Fang Zilan interrupted Mr. Liu. It was about Wheel King Chubin, and it was difficult for her to be completely calm and composed.
Mu Chuji looked at Li Qiyou playfully, thinking that he indeed had an affair with Fang Zilan. When they bumped into each other in a secluded place that day, the woman he held in his arms must be Fang Zilan.
I just didn't expect that Li Qiyou would openly refute Li Qianning, their future queen of Miluo, for Fang Zilan. Wouldn't this trample Mu Churui's face to the ground?
