Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1457 Alienation
Li Shengxuan felt mixed emotions and couldn't help but look at Fang Zilan. She raised her lips slightly but her eyes were red. "There are not many people in this world who hope that I will be safe and healthy. So, whether it is true or not, I will remember it even if it is only at this moment."

"Just remembering it is not enough to keep you safe and healthy." Li Shengxuan looked at Fang Zilan steadily and said word by word: "Have you really never thought of using Fang Lihui? Fang Jiachun will be held as scheduled, and Yin Quanzhang will definitely show up..."

"That's enough." Fang Zilan's face was as cold as snow. "I don't want the Fang family to be dragged into this, and don't even think about using Fang Lihui."

"But if the Fang family was originally involved, this is an opportunity." Li Shengxuan said it vaguely. Fang Zilan understood it in her heart, but she still pretended not to understand, "What opportunity?"

Li Shengxuan simply said bluntly, "An opportunity to clear the charge of colluding with mountain bandits."

A hint of shock flashed in Fang Zilan's eyes. It's not that she hadn't thought about it, but something like this, which should have been led by Fang Lihui or her and completed without anyone knowing, had a very different meaning when it came from Li Shengxuan's mouth.

As if it was a golden ticket to avoid death, the emperor of Dajing was willing to turn a blind eye to the actions of the Fang family, and even personally protect them. As long as it was not exposed, there would never be any excuse for them to criticize.

"Why..." Fang Zilan couldn't help asking. Li Shengxuan looked gentle, "Maybe it's because I love you so much. Or maybe, you always have privileges with me."

His feelings, without any concealment, were revealed to Fang Zilan directly and passionately, making her unable to refuse but also unable to accept.

Because she knew that time was fleeting and one day he would return to Qiankun Palace.

At that time, he was still the emperor of Dajing, worshiped by all the people. And she was still switching between several identities, wandering in the darkness, walking on the edge of a knife.

Two people like this cannot be together just based on their feelings.

However, even so, Fang Zilan still heard her own voice, "It would be disrespectful to refuse."

If they were destined to be together only at this moment, then why not just follow her heart and indulge herself for once?

Anyway, this life is long, there are too many mistakes, people missed, and things missed, and it is not worth regretting them. But if I don’t have this moment with him, I will always feel regretful.

Li Shengxuan stared at the person in front of him, as if he wanted to engrave her in his heart. Finally, the two smiled at each other, and he said in a calm voice: "It seems that you have made up your mind."

"Master Wei, are you staying here waiting for me?" Fang Zilan asked knowingly. Wei Mao snorted coldly, "Master Fang, I have done what I promised you. From now on, you and I have nothing to do with each other."

Fang Zilan curled her lips noncommittally, "I'm very curious, Lord Wei should understand what compromise means better than anyone else. If that's the case, why did you agree to it?"

"Master Fang, do you want me to reject you?" Wei Mao's expression suddenly turned cold, "Or do you want me to kill you to prevent future troubles?"

"Master Wei, you can't kill me." Fang Zilan smiled complacently. Wei Mao sneered, "Master Fang, you are very skilled, but after all, you are only one person."

Fang Zilan stopped smiling when she heard this, and her expression turned a little colder. "It's hard to satisfy your greed. Sir Wei, aren't you afraid that I will hold this as a leverage and threaten you repeatedly?"

"Handle?" Wei Mao repeated the word playfully, narrowing his eyes, "Do you think, Lord Fang, that I would be afraid of such a thing?" "Since Lord Wei agreed to me, it means that you care." Fang Zilan said calmly: "Whether it is a handle or a weakness, it all comes down to caring. The more you care, the more you will worry about gains and losses, and eventually a cage of fear will be created, trapping you in it."

Wei Mao remained silent, and Fang Zilan pressed on, "I am a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve my goals. If necessary in the future, I will definitely use this as a threat."

"Really?" Wei Mao seemed not to believe it, but Fang Zilan nodded. The gloomy look made Wei Mao's face as gloomy as water, and he left with big strides.

Fang Zilan looked at Wei Mao's back, as if she had let go of all her strength, and leaned against the wall.

She had thought of many possibilities, but no matter which one, it was an unsolvable game. Even if Madam Ouyang was willing to give up everything, she was only one person and could not compete with the entire Ouyang family.

If no one helps, the truth about Ouyang Zirou being hurt will be covered up by the Ouyang family on the grounds that family disgrace should not be made public.

So she thought of Wei Mao. If he was willing to come forward, the Ouyang family would be somewhat afraid. In addition, with her as a witness, she would be able to fight for fairness for Ouyang Zirou no matter what.

But the most difficult thing is how to ask Wei Mao to come forward? In the camp outside the capital that day, he casually smashed Madam Ouyang's jade pendant, severing the last relationship between him and Madam Ouyang. Such a cold-hearted person would not stand up for a life.

She thought for a long time before coming up with a radical plan. She threatened Wei Mao that he had secretly raised a woman who looked like Zhuge Shan, forcing him to support Madam Ouyang.

At first, when she threatened him with such a ruthless attitude, Wei Mao found it ridiculous. However, she was well prepared and calmly stated her plan.

If Wei Mao still refuses to agree, she will tell Zhuge Yu about this and also attach the body of the woman who was killed in the basement of Xunfang Tower that night.

Based on her understanding of Zhuge Yu, she would not need to do anything at that time, as he would deal with Wei Mao personally and the fight would not stop until his death.

Everyone knows that both sides will suffer losses, let alone Wei Mao. As long as he still has feelings for Zhuge Shan, he will not do anything to hurt the Zhuge family. But he will not let Zhuge Yu torture him, so he compromised.

Everything was as expected. Wei Mao came reluctantly, but he still came. Although his words were stingy, they were enough to support Madam Ouyang. That was enough.

Fang Zilan breathed a sigh of relief. Everything went well, but she did not feel relieved.

Perhaps it was because she didn't understand until just now that Wei Mao's compromise was not because he was too lazy or afraid of confronting Zhuge Yu, but because he couldn't bear it. Compared with losing his reputation or fighting openly or secretly, he cared more about the Zhuge family. Zhuge Shan's death was a hurt to them. They had suffered it once, and they shouldn't suffer it a second time.

The Zhuge family may not be unaware of the absurd things Wei Mao did behind his back, but Zhuge Yu certainly didn't know. He was the future head of the Zhuge family, destined to stand in the light, not be shrouded in the haze. There were some things he didn't need to know in his lifetime.

Or maybe it was because she hadn't realized until just now that she was indeed a person who would do anything to achieve her goals. This was not the first time she had used a handle to blackmail someone, and it wouldn't be the last time.
