"To be honest, Lord Zhuge, my men have discovered a vital piece of evidence." Xie Yanping's expression became a little more serious, and Zhuge Yu asked casually, as if inadvertently, "What piece of evidence?"
"First the plum sword of the Duke of Yue."
The extremely light words fell on Zhuge Yu's ears, but they seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. In addition, Xie Yanping's subsequent words were like a thunderbolt from the blue, which made him unable to react for a long time.
"I have been handling cases in Jingzhao Yin Mansion for many years, and I know that committing crimes in the name of a deceased person is partly to hide something." Xie Yanping whispered: "But for some reason, I always feel different this time. Some people even say I was not surprised to see Miss Fang San outside the fire scene. My intuition tells me that even if Miss Fang San has nothing to do with the Duke of Xian Yue, she must be related to this case."
"Thank you, Sir." After a while, Zhuge Yu finally found his voice, "There is currently no evidence in this case, so we might as well wait..."
"Wait?" Xie Yanping intercepted Zhuge Yu's words with almost dissatisfaction, "When is the right time to wait? Mr. Xu Youtong has been kind to me, and I can't just watch his family die in unknown circumstances."
Zhuge Yu felt mixed emotions in his heart, and suddenly he remembered the Li Qiyou he had seen despite repeated insistence. His face was as pale as paper, and there was an obvious wound on his chest, which seemed to be dealt with in the future.
At that moment, he felt a chill running down his spine. Whether she was cruel or seeking revenge, she actually did it to such an extent. Did she really not care about anything?
It was also at that moment that he realized that he had regarded Fang Zilan as the murderer from the beginning, and the emergence of evidence one after another only confirmed his suspicion bit by bit.
Queen Fang Ziqin and the Prime Minister's Fang family may not hand over Fang Zilan. Similarly, Xie Yanping, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, will not give up.
No matter how the two sides wrestle, the most important thing is Li Shengxuan's thoughts. If he insists on favoring Fang Zilan, I'm afraid this will be an unsolved case, but if he handles it impartially, then Fang Zilan's true identity will be made public...
For a moment, Zhuge Yu couldn't tell which result made him more heartbroken. But he knew that the impact of the former was far smaller than that of the latter.
How angry would the world be if they knew that the Duke of Xianyue, Fang Zilan, who should have been executed, was still in the world and was enjoying himself as Miss Fang San of the Prime Minister's Palace? Maybe they would want to attack them in groups.
"How does the winter in the capital compare with that in the north?" Li Shengxuan's voice came from behind Fang Zilan, her hand still stopped in mid-air without looking back.
The snowflakes melted in the palm of the hand, and the water droplets slid down along the palm lines, dripping silently on the snow, leaving a shallow mark that was quickly covered by the falling snowflakes and disappeared.
Li Shengxuan walked behind Fang Zilan and put his cloak on her shoulders, "What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing." Fang Zilan retracted her hand, gathered the cloak on her shoulders, sat up straight and said, "Your Majesty, are you done?"
Li Shengxuan nodded and sat next to her naturally. She calmly moved to the side and asked, "I wonder what your Majesty wants from me?"
"You haven't answered my question yet." Li Shengxuan smiled slightly and looked at the alert person in front of him, but her face was full of astonishment, "What?"
"How does winter in the capital compare with that in the north?" Li Shengxuan asked again in a good temper.
Fang Zilan snorted and wrapped her cloak tighter, "It's not as fun as the North. The snow isn't heavy, and it's still very cold."
Li Shengxuan chuckled softly, "Is this what you said, or was it said by the little doctor girl named A Wan next to you?"
Fang Zilan was not upset after being exposed by him. She just shrugged and said lightly: "Awan and I have the same opinion." However, her heart tightened. Li Shengxuan still couldn't trust her. There are many eyes and ears in her house, so I am afraid there is no one she can trust.
"I knew it when you came out of Lianhua Palace." Li Shengxuan said, taking the hand warmer placed on the table and putting it into Fang Zilan's hand without any explanation.
She did not refuse, holding the hand warmer in her arms and waiting for Li Shengxuan's next words.
"I want to know, what is the line that was interrupted by King Yucheng?"
Fang Zilan was stunned for a moment, and then asked thoughtfully: "He is a born haomin, and his destiny is to say the following sentence?"
"That's right." Li Shengxuan looked at her intently, and she said without hesitation: "There is no beginning, and there is an end."
Li Shengxuan repeated this sentence, and then spoke again after a long while: "This drama is excellent. It's just..."
He didn't say any more, and Fang Zilan couldn't help but asked curiously: "Just what?"
"It's just that when the words of the play came out of Yaoxie's mouth, it felt like he was forced to do it." Li Shengxuan said it solemnly, and Fang Zilan smiled lightly, "Whether it's a monster or a person, there are many people who can't help themselves."
"Can't you help yourself?" Li Shengxuan narrowed his eyes slightly and said meaningfully: "The world is unkind and the world is unfair, so they resist and cause chaos. This evil is probably terrible."
Fang Zilan's pupils jumped hard. Just now she just wanted to give the demon evil a reason to cause trouble, but she didn't think of this.
The rulers were cruel and immoral, so they revolted, which actually sounded more like justice than the so-called right way.
"I didn't mean it..." Fang Zilan was at a loss and tried to defend, but Li Shengxuan smiled reassuringly, "You don't have to be nervous. I'm not asking for guilt, I just find it interesting."
interesting? Fang Zilan now feels like her intestines are turning green with regret. If she had known that it would be so difficult to justify herself, she wouldn't have changed her words casually.
Li Shengxuan still looked very interested, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly: "How did you come up with these lyrics in such a short time? Or is this the real purpose of agreeing to King Yucheng to act in a social drama?"
"Purpose?" Fang Zilan was dumbfounded, and after a while he said: "I just acted on a whim. Now that the world is peaceful and clear, two lines like this can't shake anyone's heart. Your Majesty thinks too highly of me. What's more, if This is my purpose, I should wait until the day I go on stage to say these words, and there is no need to embarrass today."
"Embarrassing?" The smile on Li Shengxuan's face became even brighter, "I think your actions today are very dignified."
"Your Majesty, please stop teasing me." Fang Zilan lowered her eyes helplessly and pursed her lips, just like a lost puppy, with its head hanging down and its tail hanging down, it was indescribably pitiful.
"I'm serious." Li Shengxuan came closer and looked at the person in front of him steadily. She raised her head expectantly, her eyes sparkling, "Is what your Majesty said true?"
"You have no joke." Li Shengxuan's face looked much softer under the candlelight.
