Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1452 Abrupt
Fang Zilan casually picked up the teacup on the table, drank it all in one gulp, and said calmly: "You are still so calm and composed even now, is there any trick I haven't guessed yet?"

Shangguan Yu stroked the gauze wrapped around his hand and said nonchalantly, "Master Fang hasn't finished speaking yet. How can I know how much Master Fang has guessed? You might as well tell me everything. If there is anything incomplete, I can also supplement it for Master Fang."

"Okay, then I'll just make it clear." Fang Zilan smiled slightly and poured herself a cup of tea.

Then, she continued, "You thought that if I didn't handle the matter of driving away the wolves of the barbarians properly, I would be dismissed at best or even lose my life. However, you didn't expect that there were many people in the Northern Border Army who valued their country more than conspiracy, and Qi Yuming suddenly appeared and became my scapegoat. So you changed your mind and planned to use the lives of the people in the inner house to drag me into the water..."

"Master Fang, you are wrong." Shangguan Yu interrupted Fang Zilan, "I did change my mind, but before Qi Yuming became your scapegoat, I wanted your life."

Fang Zilan laughed and said, "So you were waiting for me at the Jinxi Tower banquet that night not to confirm the marriage arrangements, but to confirm my life or death?"

"It seems that Lord Fang didn't expect that I had contact with Shangguan Jiuren at that time." Shangguan Yu smiled without surprise, "It's a pity that those people were so stupid that they thought Lord Fang was an easy woman to deal with. I said a few words to them and they sent assassins to assassinate you."

"Although you know that I'm difficult to get rid of, you also know that I was poisoned and in poor health. But I don't understand, even if I was poisoned, it's not a good time to assassinate in public, so why did you resort to such a desperate plan?" There was obvious confusion in Fang Zilan's eyes.

Shangguan Yu just smiled, "Master Fang, do you remember what you said when Shangguan Min said that I would never be able to stand up again in this life?"

"Remember. I poured cold water on you, and I told you to be on your own." Fang Zilan frowned slightly, "As someone who can carefully lay out such a plan, I don't think you will bear a grudge for such a sentence."

"I will just assume that Lord Fang is praising me." A trace of bitterness flashed across Shangguan Yu's face. "At that time, I felt that Lord Fang was so transparent and cruel, so heartless that he didn't even give a child a glimmer of hope. I'm afraid he is no better off than me. It's not easy to be an enemy of such a person."

"How many people in this world have a truly easy life?" Fang Zilan snorted coldly, "When the assassination attempt failed, you set your sights on the women in the inner house. Shangguan Linglan is loyal to you, and you also have the relationship with Huo Sanniang. It would be much easier to attack her than to take my life, right?"

Shangguan Yu shook his head thoughtfully, "It's easy to make a woman fall in love with you, but it's not easy to make her fall in love with you."

Fang Zilan said coldly, "I'm not interested in knowing what you did to Shangguan Linglan to make her so devoted to you. I'm just curious, how would she react if she knew she had become your scapegoat?"

Shangguan Yu's reaction was very calm, "Shangguan Linglan is just a chess piece, any reaction is not worth mentioning."

A Wan, who was standing by, could no longer bear it and stepped forward and said, "Shangguan Yu, you are so cold-blooded at such a young age. You can even kill your own family for power and status..."

"Shut up!" Shangguan Yu interrupted Awan coldly, "What do you know to scold me? Family, those Shangguans are qualified? Do you know how they treat me? I am of humble origin, and every Shangguan in the Shangguan family can order me around. In their eyes, I am just an ant, so what does it matter if I am crushed to death? Now I want them to see who is the ant?"

Ah Wan angrily retorted: "What about Shangguan Linglan? She treats you sincerely, at least..." "At least what?" Shangguan Yu laughed sarcastically, "It's just that her grandmother died and she has no one to take care of her. She thought I could take care of her, so she attached herself to me. Only you girls would believe in the words of treating you sincerely."

"How can someone like you be worthy of true love?" A Wan was furious and was about to curse, but was stopped by Fang Zilan's look.

"It's almost dawn, and I'm tired." Fang Zilan leaned back on the armrest of the main seat and said in a deep voice: "Shangguan Yu, how do you plan to end this matter?"

"After talking for so long, Lord Fang finally got to the point." Shangguan Yu leaned back in his wheelchair, his lips curled slightly, "This matter is about Shangguan Linglan and Huo Sanniang colluding with each other. Lord Fang can just tell Lord Zhong Yao this. First, it can clear Lord Fang of suspicion. Second, Lord Fang will let me go this time. In the future, when you build the Northern Protectorate, I will definitely lend a helping hand."

"You are very well-informed." Fang Zilan pressed her forehead, her expression turned a little colder, "If I let you go, will you let me go?"

Shangguan Yu was stunned for a moment, as if he had not expected Fang Zilan to ask this.

He was about to say something when he heard her voice as cold as ice: "For those of us who stand on opposite sides, it's never a matter of life or death. If you won't let me go, I won't let you go either. I can't put the blame on a woman."

Shangguan Yu chuckled, "I thought Lord Fang was decisive in killing, but I didn't expect him to show mercy to a woman."

"Don't get me wrong. I'm not showing mercy to women." Fang Zilan's expression became even colder. "I just don't want to let the real mastermind go."

"Is Lord Fang even less able to judge the situation than Lord Zhong Yao?" Shangguan Yu just found it funny. "Lord Zhong Yao knows how to weigh the pros and cons, but Lord Fang doesn't know how to muddle through and live in peace?"

"It is precisely because I can see the situation clearly that I know that if I let you go, I will be the one to die." Fang Zilan calmly dug her fingernails into her palms, leaving red marks. "Since you have no more tricks, you might as well admit defeat."

"Give up?" Shangguan Yu suddenly laughed out loud, "Why should I give up? Why do you think I have to talk to you so much? Did you feel anything wrong when you were drinking tea just now?"

Fang Zilan sighed softly, "Shangguan Yu, you know I'm not easy to deal with, but you still resorted to such a despicable trick as poisoning me. Did you think I would fall for it?"

As if his thoughts had been exposed, Shangguan Yu's face was full of disbelief, "What did you say?"

"You deliberately poisoned yourself and cut yourself. When I bandaged your wound, your blood stained my body. This poison can penetrate into my body through the skin, and it is more potent when it comes into contact with water. Let me think about what kind of poison this is?" Fang Zilan said lightly, but Awan couldn't help but rush up and grab Shangguan Yu's collar, "You bastard!"
