Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1284 Damage

"I failed to save Wuhuan." Fang Zilan lowered her eyes and said, "It's not worth your thanks."

"You didn't interfere and saved face for him. That's enough." Awan breathed a long sigh of relief and lowered his voice a little, "I know what kind of person he is. He's not very capable and has a lot of face. He's been beaten by others. Killing is a matter of time..."

She stopped mid-sentence, and after a while she said, "Fortunately, you weren't the one who killed him."

"Does it make any difference whether he died in my hands or someone else's?" Fang Zilan was noncommittal. Awan turned her head away, not daring to look at her, and replied in a low voice: "If he died in your hands, I can't talk to Master. Explain.”

Fang Zilan looked at the person in front of her steadily and said in a deep voice: "Awan, the one you can't explain to is your master or yourself?"

Awan flicked his sleeves and said angrily: "It's not you anyway. Why do you care so much?"

"I can ignore it." Fang Zilan's expression turned cold, "But there are only a few days left for the Fang Family Spring Festival. Awan, I won't allow you to make any mistakes."

Her last words were so serious that even Ming Xiang next to her could not help but feel chills all over her body.

"Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble." Awan looked at Fang Zilan and said word by word: "This time, I don't need your protection."

Fang Zilan raised her hand and frowned slightly, "Awan, this is not the right time to have trouble."

"I'm not making trouble." Awan looked excited and her tone was much higher than usual, "Have you ever thought about it, if it's not Wuhuang who comes this time, but my master..."

"Your master will not act like this..." Fang Zilan interrupted Awan without hesitation, but she stole the topic, "Yes, my master will not act like this, but he also obeys the orders of the young master, and he also has no choice but to do so. Did you forget the bottle of poison you took from my master when we left the capital? That was not my master’s true intention!”

She couldn't stop trembling all over, and her voice was also trembling. Fang Zilan looked at her frightened appearance and felt that her heart was clenched into a ball, full of wrinkles that could not be smoothed out no matter what.

Seeing this, Mingxiang blurted out: "Miss Awan, this is not what my master meant..."

"So what?" A Wan interrupted Ming Xiang and said through gritted teeth, "I don't care what her true intentions are, or whether there is any room for recovery. I only know that so many people died, but it's all in vain."

“Miss Awan, please be careful with your words!” Mingxiang’s expression changed rarely, and she said sternly: “This is not in vain, and my master is not doing this for himself…”

"I hope she did it for me." Awan snorted coldly, "At least it will save her some hardship and she won't be too disappointed."

"How could you..." Before Mingxiang could finish her question, Fang Zilan stopped her, "Mingxiang, it's okay."

She stood up and walked in front of Awan, "Wuhuan's funeral can only be left to you. I will ask Fang Lihui to send someone to escort you out of Zuiyue Tower."

"I'm leaving today." Awan pursed her lips into a straight line. Fang Zilan's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, "Awan, tomorrow..."

"I can't stay here any longer." A Wan found the courage from nowhere and waved Fang Zilan's hand away, "I'm sorry."

Fang Zilan didn't show any displeasure on her face, and said calmly: "I am sorry for you."

"You haven't done anything wrong to me." After saying this, Awan turned around and was about to leave, but Fang Zilan held her shoulders and said, "Wait a minute." "What..." Before Awan turned around, she felt Fang Zilan inserting something in her hair. She raised her hand and touched it. It was a plum branch.

"Be careful on the road." Fang Zilan let go of Awan's hand and did not try to keep her, allowing her to leave in big strides.

If you think about it this way, there is no one in the world who is not forced to do things against their will.

As if he sensed something, Li Qiyou looked in Fang Zilan's direction, curled up the corners of his lips and smiled at her, as if to comfort her.

Fang Zilan avoided his sight and pursed her lips even more tightly. In the midst of the jubilation, several envoys of Dirong spoke cautiously, trying to ask General Miagu to go back.

Li Shengxuan did not agree directly, but threw the question to Fang Zilan, "Your army's Miagu injured my Duke Yue. Although he has now apologized, whether to pardon Miagu is not up to me alone. Duke Yue, what do you think?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Fang Zilan. She thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I am fine now. Now that the two sides have become friends, why not let Miagu go? This will be a sign of sincerity from Dajing."

Upon hearing this, the Di Rong envoy beside him hurriedly said: "The Duke of Yue has a broad mind, which is admirable. The Di Rong people are grateful to His Majesty and the Duke of Yue..."

Before Li Shengxuan could say anything, the Dirong envoy was already full of gratitude, so he took the opportunity to order someone to bring Miagu up.

Miagu injured an arm and only survived after amputation. However, the new envoys from Dirong did not know the reason and looked at each other in confusion, "Your Majesty..."

As soon as one of them opened his mouth, Li Shengxuan interrupted him, "No one has ever been able to stand here unharmed after hurting my Duke of Yue."

His implication was clear: it was a great favor for Miagu to be able to survive. If Di Rong still had complaints, he would not mind detaining the entire delegation and thoroughly punishing them.

The envoys of Di Rong were silent as a mouse, and hurriedly pulled over Miagu, whose face was as pale as a frost-bitten eggplant. After kneeling down to express their gratitude, they left in a hurry, saying only that they would come back to watch the wedding ceremony of Li Qiyou and the two princesses.

Seeing this, Li Shengxuan asked Xiahou Zhang to accompany Li Qiyou to report to the Empress Dowager and the Queen Mother to set an auspicious date for the wedding, and then dismissed everyone else, leaving only Wei Mao and Fang Zilan in the palace.

"You really didn't find out anything about the robbery and murder of the two princesses of Dirong in the suburbs of Beijing?" Li Shengxuan looked at Wei Mao, and he took a step forward and said, "To be honest with you, Your Majesty, I did find out some things, but there are some things that I can't say in front of the Dirong delegation."

Li Shengxuan said calmly: "Tell me what you found out."

"I found some flammable powder at the scene of the incident. After burning, a large part of the plum branch pattern was revealed." Wei Mao said, taking out a piece of paper from his sleeve and spreading it in front of Li Shengxuan. "This is a copy of the pattern. Your Majesty, please take a look."

Li Shengxuan glanced at the pattern on the paper and asked, "What is this pattern?"

"As far as I know, this plum branch pattern belongs to the killer Zixiu. It is her unique symbol." As soon as Wei Mao finished speaking, Li Shengxuan looked at Fang Zilan calmly, "Duke Yue, do you recognize this plum branch pattern?"

Fang Zilan said calmly: "Your Majesty, I recognize him."
