Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1293 Stalking

The onlookers were in a panic and a stampede occurred as they pushed and shoved. Immediately, there were wails everywhere, and the sounds of crying, shouting and cursing were endless.

Li Shengxuan remained calm in the face of danger. He not only spoke to appease the people, but also ordered Xiahou Zhang, Wei Mao and others to lead the team to maintain order, with protecting the safety of the people as the top priority.

In the Chunyue Restaurant on Zhuque Street, which is closest to the stage, Ji Ningtian stood by the railing on the top floor, taking in the entire chaos with an indifferent and cold expression on his face.

Wu Qing stood behind Ji Ningtian with her head down and whispered, "Sir, it's done."

"Let Xu Yi go once the matter is settled." Ji Ningtian retracted his gaze and calmly straightened his sleeves. "I want to see how Lan'er will act in this situation."

"With Zixiu's temper..." Wu Qing didn't say anything else. Ji Ningtian chuckled and said, "You can say whatever you want."

"If Xu Yi returns to the Xu family, I'm afraid he won't see the sun tomorrow." Wu Qing's voice became softer and softer, and Ji Ningtian's smile became wider. "How can Xu Yi alone calm Lan'er's anger? When she sees everything at the Xu family..."

He stopped talking halfway, the smile on his face gradually faded, replaced by a sinister look, "The people I train will not let me down."

Wu Qing felt a chill down her spine. From the moment she was ordered to send Xu Yi to hell, she knew something was going to happen to the Xu family. But she didn't expect that the Xu family was just an instigation, and the real purpose was to kill Mo Han through Li Qiyou.

Mo Han and Xu Yi look very similar, and hidden behind the costumes and masks, it is difficult to tell the difference unless someone is close to them and looks carefully.

So after Xu Yi disappeared, Xu Youtong, who loved his son dearly, was afraid that the New Year's community opera would be delayed, which would cause rumors to spread and disrupt the destiny of Dajing. So he resorted to this desperate measure and asked Mo Han to replace Xu Yi.

"How could this be..." Li Shengxuan frowned. Awan and Xiahou Zhang had not returned yet, and he didn't know whether they had been successful in finding the medicine. However, looking at Fang Zilan's current condition, he didn't know how long she could last.

Fang Zilan felt the heat and rubbed her forehead against Li Shengxuan's palm unconsciously. His hand shrank, but she held it tightly, "Don't go..."

"I won't leave." There was a hint of obvious anxiety in Li Shengxuan's voice. Although he tried his best to restrain himself, he still felt reluctant.

He watched Fang Zilan's teeth chattering from the cold, and cursed in his heart. If this continued, she might freeze to death before Awan and Xiahou Zhang found medicine.

"Save me..." Fang Zilan's broken words echoed in Li Shengxuan's ears. He bit his lip, and in the end the thought of saving people prevailed, overriding all the rules.

Li Shengxuan lifted the quilt, lay down beside Fang Zilan, and hugged her gently.

Feeling that there was another person on the bed, Fang Zilan's body tensed up like a bow. Even at the critical moment of life and death, she never let down her guard.

Li Shengxuan understood and kept hugging her without moving until his arms felt sore. Then the person in his arms relaxed a little and slowly moved closer.

Perhaps it was because of the constant heat transfer from the people around her, perhaps it was because she was really exhausted these days, or perhaps it was because of the effect of the medicine, Fang Zilan fell into a deep sleep, and had a rare peaceful time in the second half of the night.

"Shh!" A Wan quickly reached out to cover Fang Zilan's mouth, "It's good for you to know, why do you have to say it out loud? What if there are ears on the other side of the wall..."

"Who can hide it from me?" Fang Zilan raised her eyebrows with a smile, "Don't worry, Qiu Chan is with the Queen to chant scriptures and pray for blessings, no one will come."

"Chanting sutras and praying for blessings?" A Wan's face was full of suspicion. "When did the Queen change her nature and actually started chanting sutras and praying for blessings?" "What are you talking about?" Fang Zilan said with a smile: "Dajing worships Buddhism, isn't it natural for the Queen to chant sutras and pray for blessings?"

Awan pursed her lips and changed her voice as if she remembered something, "By the way, I have one more thing to tell you."

Fang Zilan saw that Awan's expression was a little more serious, so she couldn't help but sit up straight and asked, "What's the matter?"

"It has something to do with Mr. Xie Yanping, the Yin of Jingzhao Mansion." A Wan looked worried. "He said that Mr. Xu Youtong's house was not an ordinary accident, but someone deliberately set fire to it, and everyone in the house was killed before that. Arson. , just to cover up the truth of the murder.”

Fang Zilan calmed her expression and said quietly: "Awan, what do you want to say?"

"Fang Zilan, someone will find out the truth." Awan held Fang Zilan's shoulders and stared into her eyes, "Master Xie Yanping will not give up. As long as he continues to investigate, one day..."

"Even if there is such a day." Fang Zilan interrupted Awan in a deep voice, "I will not escape."

"But..." Awan hesitated, and finally said: "As far as I know, Mr. Xie Yanping has been kneeling outside the palace for a day. It just snowed yesterday..."

She paused for a moment before saying, "If Mr. Xie Yanping insists on remonstrating, your Majesty cannot ignore it. If the matter becomes serious, officials and even the people of the world will not give up easily."

"The matter has become serious." Fang Zilan's expression was gloomy and unclear. "Dozens of people in the Xu family died overnight. No matter how you look at it, it is a shocking case."

"Then you can still sit still?" Awan's brows knitted together, and Fang Zilan said noncommittally: "Because there are more important things, otherwise why do you think the Empress Dowager suddenly returned to the palace?"

Hearing this, Awan was stunned, "Are these two things related?"

Fang Zilan did not answer directly, but said paradoxically: "If His Majesty goes to Jiangnan in person, someone will be needed in the capital. The affairs of the court can be left to His Highness King Yucheng, and the affairs of the harem can be left to the Queen, but the people in this city... …”

She paused meaningfully for a moment and then said: "We need to be led by a superior person who can stabilize people's hearts."

"Can't His Highness King Yucheng and the Empress control people's hearts?" Awan asked doubtfully: "With their status, isn't it easy to stabilize people's hearts?"

"Not necessarily." Fang Zilan shook her head, "The Empress Dowager has gone through the chaos of the previous dynasty and three generations of emperors, and she can stabilize people's hearts better than any relatives of the emperor."

"So what you're saying is..." Awan's eyes widened, "The Empress Dowager is most likely invited back to Yuzhang Palace by His Majesty?"

"That's right." Fang Zilan nodded slightly, "However, for some people, this is also a signal."

"What signal?" A Wan asked curiously. Fang Zilan lowered her eyes and said, "Before your Majesty ascended the throne, the Empress Dowager joined forces with the Empress Dowager and the ministers in the court to assist His Royal Highness Prince Yucheng to ascend the throne. Now that your Majesty is not in the capital, do you think they can still hold their breath?"
