"Master Zhuge, Master Xie, what are you doing?" Fang Ziqin looked at the two people who were saluting coldly, and saw them standing up straight without being humble or arrogant. Among them, Xie Yanping said: "Last night, there was water in the house of Master Xu Youtong, the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance. I once met Miss Fang San at the scene."
Fang Ziqin raised her eyebrows, "Master Xie, you want to interrogate my sister based on just one word?"
"Queen, if the prince breaks the law, he is guilty of the same crime as the common people." Xie Yanping did not give in. "As a subordinate of the Jingzhao Prefecture, this is my duty and principle."
"Lan'er suffered from the cold. She has been in the room since yesterday and never left." Fang Ziqin said softly: "She is still unconscious. If Sir Xie doesn't believe it, follow me in and you will know at a glance. "
Xie Yanping nodded slightly, "Since the Queen has given permission..."
"Sir Xie, if it is true as I said." Fang Ziqin interrupted Xie Yanping rudely, "There are people who are trying to get into trouble, and as Mr. It may even ruin the reputation of my sister..."
She paused as she spoke and her eyes became sharper, "Can Mr. Xie be able to bear the consequences?"
"Your Majesty..." Xie Yanping hesitated, and Fang Ziqin snorted coldly, "Master Xie, there is no need to answer me in a hurry. I would like to remind you that the former Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture, Xu You, and Master Xu, when the evidence is not clear, He rashly detained my sister, Fang Zitong, the second daughter of the Fang family in the Prime Minister's Office, but it was ultimately proven to be a misunderstanding..."
Xie Yanping's voice had an imperceptible tremor, "The Queen..."
"I will never allow the same thing to happen again." Fang Zilan said with a sharp expression, "Master Xie, do you understand?"
Xie Yanping's hands hidden in his sleeves clenched into fists. Zhuge Yu pursed his lips, remembering the scene when he went to see Li Qiyou before entering the palace.
After hearing that Xu Youtong's house was in trouble, he became suspicious of Fang Zilan, so he rushed to Prince Yucheng's house, only to be rejected.
It took a lot of effort for him to meet Li Qiyou's two princesses. Hearing the news that Li Qiyou was injured, he felt unspeakable fear.
If Fang Zilan was the one who injured Li Qiyou and set fire to Xu Mansion, then he didn't dare to think about how many more people would die before the truth about Mo Han's death was found out.
Although she has seen Fang Zilan's behavior for a long time, she always kills enemies externally. Once she turns her sword...
"Master Zhuge?" Xie Yanping's cautious voice brought Zhuge Yu back from his thoughts. He looked over, "What does Master Xie want to tell me?"
"I was in Fengyi Palace just now. I couldn't say anything, but Lord Zhuge..." Xie Yanping flicked his sleeves as if he hated iron, "How could you not say anything?"
Zhuge Yu glanced in the direction of Fengyi Palace and said, "The second Miss Fang, Yin Jian, is in front. The Queen is obviously partial to the Third Miss Fang. Even if I speak, it will not help."
In a daze, all kinds of voices in the memory came one after another, sweeping every corner of Fang Zilan's mind.
But unlike every previous memory, this time she was able to hear every word clearly and identify the owner of each voice.
However, the more she heard and the clearer the distinction, the more out of breath she felt.
Just like when she fell into the water before, she was like a drowning person. She was immersed in the water and could see the sunlight that seemed to be within reach, but she could never touch it even if she stretched out her hand.
After all, this life no longer belongs to her.
"Fang Zilan? Fang Zilan!" An anxious and sincere voice rang in Fang Zilan's ears over and over again, trying to pull her out of the quagmire of memories, but she still didn't want to wake up.
Such a body is not only the sharpest sword in the world, but also the humblest woman in the world. She falls in love with an impossible person and is willing to become a chess piece for his use, even if it is broken into pieces.
Such a body does not belong to her, such behavior does not belong to her, and such a way of living is not hers. If she dies of poison like this, can she return to the original world?
It's really tiring to go on like this.
In her memory, someone vaguely whispered in her ear:
"The old people of the previous dynasty are like lonely ghosts who cannot see the light of day. If you want to live, you can't take the path of sunshine, so you can only enter the gate of hell."
"Those who live in the ghost gate cannot see the light."
"Even if my dignity is broken and my legs are broken, I will not surrender."
"As long as I am alive, I will never live in vain. I will take back everything that belongs to me and make each of them pay the price."
These are Ji Ningtian's hatred and ambitions, none of which belong to her.
But she seemed to have experienced everything with him, entangled in the so-called red thread of fate, and they couldn't be separated by even an inch.
"I don't want to."
Three sonorous and powerful words, like a beam of light breaking through the darkness.
The Fang Zilan in her memory was kneeling upright in front of the Fang's ancestral hall, speaking confidently and confidently. She looked like just a little girl, but she had indescribable power.
"My grandma cannot enter the Fang ancestral hall today. I will need you to invite her in tomorrow. All of you think that I am just a concubine of the prime minister's house, but I, Fang Zilan, will never accept my fate in this life. One day, I will definitely let you all Kneel at my feet.”
Is that so? She always thought that Fang Zilan's desperate efforts were just for Ji Ningtian, but now that she thought of this episode, she realized that her original intention was actually herself.
It was not easy for women in ancient times. Fang Zilan's mother had a bad background, so she was looked down upon by everyone in the Fang family, but who could choose her background?
Fang Zilan went around asking people for help, but she still couldn't let her mother, who died trying to save her, enter the Fang family ancestral hall. In the end, it was just a thin-skinned coffin and she was buried in an unknown mass grave.
She struggled, but no one paid any attention to her.
Fang Chongzheng's silence, Fang Ziqin's admonishment, and Fang Zitong's ridicule, everyone just wanted her to behave herself.
She is just a concubine of the prime minister's house, but it will be a big deal if she marries a high-ranking family member in the future.
But she refused to accept her fate. She personally rejected the marriage chosen by Fang Chongzheng for her in front of Fang's ancestral hall, and even said she would never marry in this life.
Thinking about it this way, Ji Ningtian was not unkind. With his status, he should have married a former princess like Wu Qing, but he didn't.
He didn't marry, and she didn't want to marry. From the beginning, fate had deviated from its original track and headed towards a future that no one could predict.
She came through time and space, and it turned from an unexplained accident into a desperate necessity.
She had been at a loss many times, and had been uneasy after her midnight dreams. However, until this moment, she was so groggy in her dreams that she finally found the real reason.
No matter who she is, even if she is accused of all kinds of falsehoods, even if it is just an excuse, she will insist on going on. This is the meaning of her existence.
