Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1395 Silence

Li Qiyou coughed unnaturally, "I just can't bear to leave Xiao Ning..."

"You're lying." Fang Zilan bluntly exposed Li Qiyou, "If my guess is correct, the prince must have another purpose for this trip."

Li Qiyou pursed his lips and remained silent as if he agreed, so Fang Zilan continued to talk to herself, "Your Highness, what you want to do may not be easy. While there is still time and room for maneuver, you may as well consider it again..."

"It's okay to do something knowing it's impossible. Even if there's no result, at least there's no regret." Li Qiyou said every word seriously, "Even if you find out that there are many things in the world that you can't do, that's a matter for the future. At least now, there's still room for you to try."

Fang Zilan laughed so hard that she couldn't stand up and lay down on the steps without any image. Zhuge Yu covered his face with his sleeves, but couldn't hide his laughter.

After a long while, Fang Zilan finally stopped laughing, "My Lord, do you remember everything I said so clearly?"

"It makes sense, I remember it clearly." Li Qiyou looked calm and as if it was a matter of course. Zhuge Yu couldn't help but tease him, "Your Highness, you didn't secretly write it down with a pen and paper, did you?"

Fang Zilan was amused again and said frivolously, "That's great. If the prince writes down everything I say, you can help me publish a collection of quotations in the future, and we can split the profits 50-50."

Li Qiyou helplessly looked at the two people who were talking about this and that. Without the mutual testing that they had in the North, it was a more relaxed atmosphere that he had never seen before, which made him raise his eyebrows and curl his lips, sweeping away the gloom.

"Speaking of which, it was better to be in the North." Fang Zilan folded her hands, supported the back of her head, and lay down on the steps. "My life has been thrown away on the battlefield. I don't have so many concerns. You guys don't want me to die."

"Who said you can't bear to leave?" Zhuge Yu raised his eyebrows. Li Qiyou deliberately dragged his voice and echoed: "Have you forgotten that in Fenghe Valley..."

"You two are such a bummer." Fang Zilan said with a sigh, "To this day, you still refuse to say a single nice word to comfort me, not even a lie against your will."

"What's the point of teasing you?" Zhuge Yu took the wine pot from Li Qiyou's hand, "Why not get drunk with you until dawn, that would be a blessing."

After he finished speaking, he raised his head and drank, which was very different from the usually gentle and kind Second Master Zhuge.

"If your grandfather saw you like this, he would probably want to get rid of me as soon as possible." Fang Zilan shook her head. She sounded scared but there was no fear on her face.

Zhuge Yu casually placed the wine pot on the steps and said, "Don't you know why my grandfather doesn't like us to associate with each other?"

"How could I not know?" Fang Zilan shrugged nonchalantly. "I think your grandfather played a big role in sending me to Miluo and marrying me into the Zhongzheng Palace."

"What did you say?" Li Qiyou beside him looked stunned. Zhuge Yu's eyes also flashed with a complicated look. On the contrary, Fang Zilan was calm and composed. "It's fine if the prince doesn't know, but how come you, Ayu, don't know either?"

"I..." Zhuge Yu avoided Fang Zilan's gaze and suddenly recalled the quarrel he had with his grandfather before Miluo.

"Just because she is from the Ghost Gate, Grandfather will do whatever it takes to destroy everything she has in Dajing and send her to Miluo? That's Murong Qing. If the Zhongzheng Palace plots to seize power and usurp the throne in the future, wouldn't her sword fall into the hands of the enemy and give Miluo the opportunity to harm Dajing?"

"Murong Qing's father is Zhongzheng Wang Murong Xun. Everyone in the world will rebel, but he won't." "Grandfather! You are worried that Miluo will make a comeback one day, but you also hope that Zhongzheng Wangfu will not rebel or regret. Isn't this contradictory?"

……

"Ayu, I have no intention of holding you accountable." Fang Zilan waved her hand. "The story behind this is complicated, and your grandfather is not the only one behind it. I can only guess a small part of it, and forget about the rest. There is no point in guessing it all anyway, and it will only add to your troubles."

"Didn't Sister Xiao go to Jiangnan to do some work as you ordered..." A Wan whispered behind Fang Zi Lan. She suddenly reacted, but still asked calmly, "What's going on between you two?"

Cong Rong bit her red lips lightly, "Master Fang, don't blame Miss Awan, it's all my fault. I was accidentally caught by the Pei family, and Miss Awan came back to save me..."

As she spoke, her voice weakened. Awan added, "Yes, luckily I was smart and didn't get caught by them. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been so anxious without even a messenger..."

"Why should I be anxious?" Fang Zilan interrupted her calmly, "If you are all arrested and no one informs me, then I will know the news in at least a month. Why should I be anxious?"

A Wan curled her lips, and Fang Zilan asked, "Why didn't Miss Xiao come with you?"

"Um..." Awan leaned close to her ear and whispered, "We met the King of the Wheel on the way. I don't know what he said to Sister Xiao. Sister Xiao left in a hurry after hearing it."

Fang Zilan understood that Xiao Xuan'er left in a hurry because of something going on in Qianjinfang. It seemed that Awan and Cong Rong returned to Beijing not because they knew something, but because they were forced to do so. If they had not been kidnapped by Pei's people, they would not have returned.

"Master Fang..." Cong Rong's voice sounded hesitantly, "Have I caused you any trouble?"

Before Fang Zilan could speak, A Wan waved her hands and said, "That's not true. It's all the Pei family's fault. They took advantage of their power to bully others and do evil. I'm glad you're okay, Sister Cong."

Mo Han, who had been silent the whole time, also echoed, "Don't worry, Miss Cong. This matter will be handled by the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, and it will not affect Sister Lan."

Cong Rong lowered her head, tears streaming down her face. "If I didn't have this beautiful appearance, would I not have killed my family members, and wouldn't I have implicated Lord Fang and Miss Awan..."

Family? Fang Zilan was stunned for a moment, and she finally understood where her strange feeling came from. When Cong Rong heard the bad news about her family before, she suddenly fainted. At that time, A Wan was there to feel her pulse. That reaction could not be faked.

But later, Xiao Xuaner found out that her so-called family was actually human traffickers. Logically speaking, how could she, a trafficked girl, have such deep feelings for the traffickers who trafficked her?

Thinking of this, Fang Zilan's eyes became more scrutinizing, but she still comforted Cong Rong, "Miss Cong, you have such a beautiful appearance, which is what others want. How can it be your fault? Those who are wrong are always those who harbor evil intentions."

She deliberately emphasized the words "harbouring evil intentions", but Cong Rong seemed not to hear it. She nodded gratefully and said, "I'll make a note of it. Thank you, Lord Fang."

"The Jingzhao Yinfu will certainly summon you to testify in the future. Don't be afraid. I will go with you." Fang Zilan patted Cong Rong's shoulder, tears flashing in her eyes, "I'm not afraid."
