Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1412 Success

"Fang Zilan, what are you going to do?" A Wan quickly chased after her and grabbed her sleeve. "If they knew the truth, they might risk everything. What will happen to you then?"

"Are you just going to let me do nothing and watch them die?" Fang Zilan deliberately lowered her voice, but could not hide the anger in her words.

"If I can die peacefully, what does it matter if we are kept in the dark forever?" A Wan increased the strength in her hands and said without hesitation: "They were born for the Ghost Gate and will die for the Ghost Gate. They have no choice. If..."

"Awan!" Fang Zilan grabbed Awan's wrist and interrupted her unfinished words, "How innocent are the villagers of Taoyuan Village? Are they going to be dragged to death just because Guimen is so cruel?"

"But..." Awan was so anxious that she was about to cry, "I really can't save them!"

At this moment, Fang Zilan suddenly understood that Awan's words, which seemed like self-deception, were actually just an excuse for herself to feel at ease.

Ah Wan knew that the villagers of Taoyuan Village were innocent, but she could not save them, so she could only close her eyes and ears, and put all the blame on Guimen instead of her own inability to do anything.

"Awan, if you can't save her, then don't save her." Fang Zilan held Awan's shoulders with both hands and said seriously, "You are a female doctor, not a god. There are many incurable diseases in the world. Just do your best and leave the rest to fate. You don't need to take everything on yourself."

Awan sniffed, "I know, but once I tell the truth..."

She didn't say anything else. Fang Zilan understood in her heart, "Since it has happened, they have the right to know the truth. As for what will happen in the future, none of us can say for sure."

Zhuge Yu raised his eyebrows, Fang Zilan coughed lightly, and drew his attention back, "I know the person you are talking about."

"Oh?" Zhuge Yu showed a curious look on his face. Fang Zilan said calmly: "His identity is as you thought, but he will not live long. Just let him go."

"Since Miss Xiu is willing to speak for him, I will respectfully obey your order." Zhuge Yu restrained his expression. Fang Zilan pondered for a moment, and finally couldn't help asking, "When will the road to Shi County be cleared?"

"It will take about three to five days. I will let Zheng Yan inform you after the road is cleared." Zhuge Yu thought for a moment and said, "This place is too simple. If Miss Xiu is willing, you can take Miss Awan and this girl to the village chief's house. There is an empty room in the yard over there."

Before Fang Zilan could say anything, Awan rushed to say, "Yes! Lord Zhuge has invited us so kindly, how could we not be willing?"

A cordial invitation? Fang Zilan looked at Awan, whose face was filled with joy, and thought to herself that this girl was really good at learning bad things, and that she had learned nothing but lies after following her for several years.

Zhuge Yu curled his lips and smiled, "In that case, I will tell the village chief to prepare the bed for you."

"Thank you, Master Zhuge." Fang Zilan bowed and suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked, "Master, you came from the capital, I wonder where..."

She didn't say anything else. Zhuge Yu understood in his heart, "Everything is fine. Your Majesty is blessed with great fortune. The capital is stable and no one dares to stir up trouble."

"That's good." Fang Zilan nodded slightly, as if relieved.

"Miss Xiu, don't worry. Just put yourself first and don't work too hard." Zhuge Yu tried to comfort her, and Awan echoed him, "Master Zhuge is right. I think Miss Xiu should relax. Everything will be fine..."

Fang Zilan smiled helplessly, chatted with Zhuge Yu and Awan for a few words, then packed up and went to the village chief's house. Xia'er was silent all the way. Awan noticed her abnormality and exclaimed, "You have a fever?"

"What's going on?" Fang Zilan stopped and picked up Xia'er, who was following closely. Only then did she realize that her body was burning hot. She couldn't help but frowned, "Why is it so sudden?"

"It's not sudden. I told you before that she..." Awan suddenly stopped talking. Fang Zilan reacted, "You mean, she had an attack?"

The two of them understood each other tacitly, and neither of them mentioned the word poison, but they knew better than anyone that once the poison took effect, life would be worse than death.

"Xia'er is still young and much more fragile than an adult, so the attack came quickly." Awan's voice became more anxious. "How far is the village chief's house?"

"We're almost there." Fang Zilan hugged Xia'er tightly in her arms and quickened her pace.

When they arrived at the village chief's house, Fang Zilan didn't have time to clean up, so she put Xia'er on the bed. Awan gave her acupuncture to temporarily suppress the poison in her body.

Fang Zilan handed a silk handkerchief to Awan. After she took it, she wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "I can't go on like this. Sooner or later, I won't be able to control myself..."

"Is there any way?" Fang Zilan's voice was low, and A Wan was subconsciously stunned. "What do you mean, what method?"

"A way to make Xia'er less painful." Fang Zilan's eyes fell on Xia'er lying on the couch. Her cheeks were flushed and wrinkled, and she was babbling incoherently, revealing unspeakable pain.

"You..." Awan seemed to have lost all her strength. Her hands loosened and the handkerchief fell to the ground, covered with dust. She looked indescribably dejected.

"Awan, we can't save them..." Fang Zilan just opened her mouth, but Awan interrupted her, "So what if we can't save them? Fang Zilan, this is not the first day you've known me. Although I don't have your omnipotent means and abilities, as long as someone needs it, I will do my best to save them. Until the last moment, I won't allow anyone to touch my patients. Not even you."

"Awan..." Fang Zilan stretched out her hand, but was pushed away by Awan, "Fang Zilan, don't make me hate you, and don't..." make me hate myself.

"Master Fang." Ah Shi's eyes lit up when he saw her. He walked over, bowed, and said, "Master Fang, how are you? Since you are here, why are you standing at the door instead of coming in?"

"I'm just here to get Chu Bin's indenture, and I'll leave after I get it." Fang Zilan still stood there, and the light in Ah Shi's eyes suddenly dimmed, "Master Fang, is there anything else you want to do?"

Fang Zilan hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not very busy."

Ah Shi curled the corners of his lips, raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation, and Fang Zilan followed him to the private room on the second floor.

There were not many guests in Xunfanglou in the afternoon. In the quiet atmosphere, Fang Zilan's stomach rumbled at an inopportune time. Ah Shi led the way and said, "Master Fang, you haven't had time to have lunch yet, right?"

Fang Zilan nodded, and saw Ah Shi push open the door of a private room facing the street. Inside, the table was filled with lunch.

"This..." Fang Zilan's face flashed with surprise, and Ah Shi explained: "I heard that His Majesty summoned Lord Fang to the palace early in the morning. I thought that if Lord Fang came here, it would be at least around noon. I know that Lord Fang always eats late breakfast when he is on leave, and I am afraid it will be the same today, so I asked people to prepare it in advance."
