Chapter 1343 Fault

"What are you thinking about?" Zhuge Yu's voice brought Fang Zilan back from her thoughts. She lowered her eyes and said, "It's nothing. I was just thinking about whether Queen Miluo died of illness. Is it true or false?"

"It's hard to tell the truth from the false." Zhuge Yu's expression was dark and unclear, "Queen Miluo was originally established by the Queen Mother Lin for the king Mu Churui. You should know that Mu Churui is not the Queen Mother Lin's biological child. Qi King Mu Chuji is the Queen Mother Lin. "The son of the clan."

In just a few sentences, he sketched out a young emperor whose wings were gradually becoming fuller, ambitious and trying to get rid of control. If he could kill the person next to him with his own hands, then Mu Chuji might not have given him up voluntarily. The throne.

The so-called brotherhood and brotherhood are most likely an illusion to deceive the world.

"It seems that as you said, the Miluo royal family is not an easy person." Fang Zilan calmed down, "But as long as Mu Churui can maintain peace between the two countries, it doesn't matter how he treats Murong Qing or Prince Zhongzheng. ”

Zhuge Yu said noncommittally: "No matter how forbearing Mu Churui is, he can't hide his ambition. He may not be able to maintain peace between the two countries."

"With the power of the capital, it is not a wise choice to go to war and capture the whole world." Fang Zilan coughed lightly, and Zhuge Yu looked at her with interest, "I didn't expect that you would actually do something like this thought."

"I'm not a stickler." Fang Zilan said with a chill on her face, "Offense is the best defense, that's who I am."

When these words came out of her mouth, they naturally became more convincing. Zhuge Yu remained silent for a while and then said: "The capital is not afraid of war. But long-term peace and stability do not depend on war."

"I understand." Fang Zilan nodded slightly, "However, after the battle between Dajing and Miluo, Mu Churui was unable to send troops in a short time."

Zhuge Yu felt relieved. More than two years had passed since that battle. The time was long or short. Even if it was not enough for Mu Churui to regroup, it was enough for him to keep a low profile and bide his time.

Today, Mu Churui is no longer as eager for quick success as he was when he first ascended the throne, just to gain fame and prestige by sending troops thousands of miles away. Instead, he has grown into a true emperor with a deep palace.

However... it is unknown whether the move of using Princess Zhongzheng and Murong Qing's mother and son to hold Murong Xun hostage and order him to send troops was the intention of Queen Mother Lin or Mu Churui's own heart.

"Ayu." Fang Zilan called out softly, and Zhuge Yu looked at her, "What's wrong?"

"If it's Miluo..." Fang Zilan paused and said, "Jiangnan, I can go alone."

"No." Zhuge Yu blurted out without even thinking, "The corruption case is complicated, and there are countless forces involved in it. You alone..."

"A Yu, are you worried about me?" Fang Zilan raised her lips with a half-smile, and Zhuge Yu was speechless for a moment, "I..."

"I am the one who deserves to die, and I will have to pay for my life sooner or later." Fang Zilan's eyes dimmed a little, "If I can do something in the remaining days, this life will not be in vain..."

"Fang Zilan!" Zhuge Yu couldn't help but interrupt Fang Zilan, "Even if Mo Han died and you were deeply shocked, you can't..."

"Can't what?" Fang Zilan interrupted Zhuge Yu's words, and the smile on her face faded a little, "Ayu, I'm tired."

Fang Zilan had been kneeling in the snow outside the Yuzhang Palace for more than an hour. She had stopped shouting a long time ago, but she was freezing.

Fortunately, she listened to Awan's advice and put on a few more layers before going out. However, no matter how thick she was, she couldn't stand the coldness of the clothes soaked by the snow. She felt a chill coming from her knees and penetrating into her bones, and she couldn't stop shivering. She couldn't help but sigh while wrapping her cloak tightly, looking up at the snowflakes flying all over the sky, and she had completely lost her righteous demeanor just now. She only thought about how to find a way to stand up first.

After all, if she continued kneeling like this, her knees would be frozen and she would not be able to get out of bed for the entire first month of the year.

However, she was the one who said "please kneel" herself. If she stood up now, it would be tantamount to slapping herself in the face... Just when she was racking her brains to no avail, she saw that the sky above her head was blocked by an oil-paper umbrella, and the wind and snow were blocked out of the umbrella.

She looked up and saw Li Shengxuan standing behind her with an umbrella in one hand.

"Your Majesty?" Fang Zilan shouted uncertainly, and then he raised his voice to the closed palace door of Yuzhang Palace: "I have issued an order to summon Wei Mao, the Duke of Weiguo, to investigate the case in the Northern Territory. Before the case is investigated, no one is allowed to touch a hair of the people in the Northern Territory. Since the Empress Dowager holds the petition of the people of the Northern Territory, she knows that this case is no trivial matter. If you have any objections, you may as well tell me."

Fang Zilan stared at Li Shengxuan in a daze. He lowered his eyes to glance at her, and said with authority without anger: "As for Fang Zilan, the Duke of Yue, you are a nobleman in the capital, and there is no reason for you to let the Empress Dowager vent her anger on you."

After he said that, he stretched out his hand towards Fang Zilan.

Fang Zilan looked at the hand and hesitated for a moment, then the owner of the hand grabbed her arm and pulled her up from the snow.

She knelt for too long and was very cold, so she lost her balance and fell into Li Shengxuan's arms. He didn't mind, and held her waist with his hands to help her stand more steadily.

After Fang Zilan helped Li Shengxuan stand steadily, he heard him say, "Fang Zilan, I will take you away today. If the Empress Dowager has anything else to say, I will be waiting for you at Qiankun Palace at any time."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a creaking sound and the door of Yuzhang Palace opened wide.

The voice of the Empress Dowager came from the palace, "Your Majesty, please stay." She walked to the palace steps and stood still, her face even colder than the snowflakes falling from the sky.

She said word by word in a cold voice: "Is the emperor determined to protect Fang Zilan and fight this case to the end?"

"Yes." Li Shengxuan said this simple word without hesitation.

Fang Zilan raised her head and saw an indescribable determination in his expression, which made her feel inexplicably at ease.

The wind and snow grew stronger, and the snowflakes swirling between the sky and the earth formed a natural white curtain, separating the Empress Dowager in the eaves of the palace from Li Shengxuan, Fang Zilan and others outside the palace steps.

The Grand Empress Dowager sneered, "Okay, the emperor is very determined now, and I can't say anything. But I don't know the consequences of this case. Is the emperor willing to share the responsibility with Fang Zilan?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Zilan's expression suddenly changed, and she kept shaking her head to stop Li Shengxuan.

However, Li Shengxuan tightened his grip on her hand, seemingly to comfort her but more like he was making up his mind.

She heard his voice, which was extremely firm. "I am willing to share the burden with her. I will never leave her alone in the wind and snow, freezing in the long winter, trapped in the prison of power. Her life should be the life of all people. She should stand between heaven and earth without restraint, not kneel here and be tortured by others."
