Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1418 Silence

"Awan, I want to ask you, is what Zixiu said just now true?" Ji Ningtian glanced at Awan below, only to see her nodding like crazy, "Every word is true. When we sneaked into Mushan Pass, Mo Han suspected Zixiu, but Madam Hu insisted that Zixiu looked like... and forced us to stay. And the forget-me-not grass, the medicine prepared by the master, how dare I touch it? If Zixiu hadn't questioned the master in public today, I wouldn't have known about this. As for King Rong'an..."

She looked embarrassed as she spoke, and Wen Ya urged her, "Why don't you tell the truth quickly? How can you hide anything in front of the young master?"

"Yes." A Wan nodded. "On the day Zixiu went to see King Rong'an, she didn't let me accompany her, so I didn't know the specific situation. But after Zixiu met King Rong'an, she asked me about the Cangjian Villa and Wanhua Villa. At that time, I thought it was all Zixiu's doing, so I told her. After hearing it, she seemed to have changed into a different person, and rushed back to the capital from Mushan Pass overnight..."

"Zi Xiu is in a hurry to return to Beijing, isn't it because she received the gold medal?" Wu Qing's voice sounded deep, and A Wan asked with a puzzled look on her face: "What gold medal?"

"You haven't seen it?" Wu Qing stared at A Wan, and saw that she was frowning. "What do you mean? Zi Xiu sent me away on the way back to Beijing, and I thought..."

"Enough." Ji Ningtian said suddenly, and Awan was so frightened that she fell to her knees on the ground with a plop.

However, Ji Ningtian did not say much, and turned to Wen Ya and asked, "Wen Ya, why did you tamper with Zi Xiu's medicine?"

"I..." Wen Ya knelt down slowly, but his heart was extremely calm. As early as when Fang Zilan said this in public, he knew that the young master would definitely abandon him.

As the master of the Ghost Gate, he used the forget-me-not herb to erase the memory of his subordinates. Once this matter spreads, no matter what the reason is, it will surely cause panic among his subordinates.

The young master will never admit it, and he alone will have to bear the responsibility for this crime.

"When Zixiu was in Jiangnan, she accidentally learned about my past." Wen Ya's voice was emotionless, as calm as a pool of dead water. "Since she has something on me, I must take measures to protect myself."

Upon hearing this, several of the Nine Hell Kings couldn't help whispering. The leader, King Qin Guang, coughed, and they immediately quieted down.

Ji Ningtian looked past Wen Ya and looked directly at King Qin Guang below, "King Qin Guang, what do you want to say?"

"Sir, the rule of Ghost Gate is that the strong prey on the weak." King Qin Guang said with a wry smile, "It's nothing that Wen Ya drugged Zi Xiu to protect himself..."

"Nothing?" King Zhuanlun sneered, "If one day, Wen Ya also drugged everyone present in order to protect himself, I wonder if King Qin Guang would still be able to say such a thing?"

Fang Zilan took out a dagger from her body, rolled up her sleeves, and cut her wrist.

"Lan'er!" Wan Jun's expression changed, but Fang Zilan showed no expression. "What are you standing there for?"

Seeing this, Wan Jun hurriedly took out a white porcelain bottle and tremblingly collected Fang Zilan's blood into it.

"Brother Wan, you don't have to do this." Fang Zilan curled her lips and smiled as if mocking herself, "Wouldn't it be a pity to not use such a good medicine?"

"That's enough." Wan Jun stopped Fang Zilan's bleeding and asked, "How did you know?"

"I saw it when I was reading a medical book when I was free." Fang Zilan said perfunctorily. Wan Jun asked, "Which medical book? If I have time, I will go and take a look."

Fang Zilan pursed her lips, lowered her eyes and said, "I guessed."

"Lan'er." Wan Jun called out in a light tone. Fang Zilan pursed her lips and said, "I just guessed it. The head of the Xiahou family was poisoned a few days ago, and the Xiahou family invited Awan over. I wanted to help a little so that Awan can come back as soon as possible..."

The more she spoke, the lower her voice became. Wan Jun said helplessly, "What you call helping is sending your own blood?" "Awan accepted it, which means it was useful." Fang Zilan argued in a low voice, "Brother Wan, I am hopeless, but at least I can save others."

Wan Jun felt like he had something stuck in his throat when he heard this, and after a while he managed to squeeze out a sentence, "Who said you are hopeless?"

"Don't I know it myself?" Fang Zilan's voice was very soft, but Wan Jun still heard it. He felt mixed emotions in his heart, "Lan'er, you just said that there could be some gods in the southeast..."

Fang Zilan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "What did you say?"

"I said, there was a god in the southeast." Wan Jun said seriously: "His surname is Fang, and he was originally the Duke of Yue in Dajing."

Fang Zilan turned her head away, and Wan Jun continued, "She once went deep into the epidemic area, saved the dying and the wounded, fought against Miluo, and protected the country and the people. She should be a living god who is worshipped by the people and admired by generations."

Fang Zilan's eyes turned red, and after a long while she heard her own voice, "She is dead."

She died in the capital's treacherous winds and clouds, and was buried in an unknown lonely grave in the wild mountains, without a tombstone or spirit. The people around her were either annihilated in the darkness, died without a name, or fell into the mire and were entangled in filth.

Upon closer inspection, none of them had a good ending.

Wan Jun's lips moved, wanting to say something, but Fang Zilan spoke before him, "Miss Dugu is coming."

"Then I'll go first." Wan Jun turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Fang Zilan, "Wait for me for a moment, I'll take you back later."

Wan Jun was speechless, Fang Zilan restrained her expression, "If anything happens to you, how can I explain to Sister Mier? Brother-in-law."

She deliberately emphasized the word "brother-in-law". Wan Jun couldn't help but cough lightly, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Dugu Linxiu approaching and immediately walked towards Dugu Ming. The two looked at each other in silence, but neither of them had any intention of leaving. Finally, their eyes fell on Fang Zilan and Dugu Linxiu.

"Thank you for waiting for me, Miss Zhen." Dugu Linxiu bowed. Fang Zilan accepted her greeting and smiled, saying, "There is no one else here now, and I am not Miss Zhen."

"Well, Madam Crown Prince." Dugu Linxiu still maintained the posture of greeting, "Thank you for your help tonight."

"I never help others for nothing." Fang Zilan stretched out her hand, "Miss Dugu, when will you give me the reward you promised me?"

"Madam, I didn't expect you to be so anxious." Dugu Linxiu stood up and glanced at Wan Jun and Dugu Ming not far away. "But, are you sure you want to ask me for compensation in front of them?"

"Why not?" Fang Zilan still had a smile on her face. Dugu Linxiu sighed softly, "The Crown Prince's wife really has no taboos."

She paused, as if she had made up her mind, and said, "Madam, since you want the account book as a reward, would you like to hear me tell you about the twists and turns?"

Fang Zilan nodded, "I'd like to hear more details."
