Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1466 Prejudgment
"Fang Zilan..." Awan let Fang Zilan pull her away and called her name, but didn't know what to say.

Explain? With Fang Zilan's intelligence, she must have caught some clues from her words, and it was only a matter of time before she could guess the whole picture. Moreover, there was no need for her to explain everything to Fang Zilan.

She was a female doctor at Guimen. From the beginning, she was sent by the young master to Fang Zilan's side. Her life was at stake, and she dared not forget it for a moment.

They walked for an unknown amount of time until there was no one around, and then Fang Zilan let go of her hand. Awan straightened her sleeves and looked up to meet her red eyes.

"You just watched Dugu Linxiu's daughter die in front of her?" Fang Zilan deliberately lowered her tone, but still revealed a hint of indignation.

"Yes." Awan crossed her arms, looking like she was keeping people at a distance. "Wukui's poison is incurable."

"Who poisoned them, Di Rong's army or Guimen?" Fang Zilan almost gritted her teeth, but Awan smiled, "Didn't you guess the answer?"

"Awan..." Fang Zilan reached out and pinched Awan's shoulder. Seeing her staring at her, she said frankly, "I poisoned her."

"Why?" Fang Zilan released her strength, and Awan pushed her hand away. "I cannot disobey the young master's order."

As she spoke, she seemed to remember something and curled her lips lightly, "Fortunately, you were seriously injured and unconscious at the time, and you couldn't care about what I did. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to hide it from you."

In an instant, Fang Zilan understood everything - Dugu Linxiu's daughter died the year she went to the West to look for Vanas.

At that time, she was responsible for the friendly relations between Dajing and Persia. With Fang Liren's request, she made a desperate effort to rescue Warners. However, she never thought that in a place she could not see, Guimen quietly reached out and killed Dugu Linxiu's daughter, completely destroying her relationship with the Dugu family and turning her into a pawn and a vicious dog.

"Have you thought of everything?" Awan still curled her lips, but there was no smile on her face. "At that time, it was not only you who had no time to care about him, but also Patriarch Dugu. If something happened to Vanus, if Patriarch Sassan, who loved his daughter dearly, did something..."

"So let alone Dugu Linxiu's daughter, even if Dugu Linxiu died, the Dugu family head would pretend that nothing happened." Fang Zilan interrupted Awan's words. She listened patiently and nodded, "The affairs of a country are higher than the affairs of a family. You people who guard the borders do know better than others."

"It's true that Vanas is the daughter of the Sassan family master, but Dugu Linxiu's daughter is also her beloved. How can human life be distinguished between noble and humble?" Fang Zilan's face was as gloomy as water. A Wan said woodenly: "But if I hadn't poisoned her, I would have been the one to die."

"Awan..." Fang Zilan just opened her mouth, but Awan stopped her, "There are always things that need someone to do. Fang Zilan, this is what you said."

She paused, "For me, as a female doctor of Ghost Gate, the orders of the young master are a creed that cannot be disobeyed, and there is nothing wrong with that. For Dugu Linxiu, as a mother, she doesn't want her daughter to die unclearly, which is also human nature. It's just that no one saw her at that time."

"No one saw you either." Fang Zilan added, "Since you have never been discovered, why did you tell the truth, and why did you choose this critical moment to do so?"

"Just because I want to give it a try." A Wan pursed her lips, "I'll tell you everything I know and see if I can help you fight against the Ghost Gate and get the fairness you want."

"It's too late." Fang Zilan lowered her eyes and said, "Dugu Linxiu's desire for justice for her daughter has been lost." Not only did she not get it, she even lost herself. She left Xiguan City to fight for the position of the commander of the Jiangnan Camp for Fu Congnan. How much of this was for power and how much for her dead daughter is unknown.

All people saw was Madam Fu, who was called a vicious dog, standing in the court, waiting for trial. People say that evil people never think, but how can others know the tortuous cause and effect?
"Fang Zilan, you can't even protect yourself now." Zhuge Yu lowered his voice, but couldn't suppress the anger in it, "What's more, according to Fu Congnan, the Dugu family is not innocent, and they are even involved in it. You..."

He didn't say anything else. Fang Zilan pursed her lips and said, "I know."

"You know everything, but you still want to get involved in this muddy water in the southeast." Zhuge Yu clenched his hands in his sleeves into fists, "You know everything, but you still want to help Dugu Ming ask Fu Congnan for the answer?"

This time it was Fang Zilan's turn to remain silent, but Zhuge Yu had no intention of letting her go. "What if Fu Congnan refuses to divorce and drags the Dugu family into this?"

Fang Zilan said coldly: "The chaos in the western border is imminent."

Zhuge Yu continued to ask: "If Fu Congnan divorces, the Dugu family escapes unscathed, and his daughter enters the capital and enters the palace, what will happen?"

Fang Zilan opened her mouth for a while before she said, "The closer the Dugu family is to the center of power, the more loyal they will be."

"Have you ever thought about how the Empress in the palace will cope with the situation?" Zhuge Yu almost questioned. Fang Zilan lowered her head and said, "The imperial decree has been issued. The Empress will be fine in the short term..."

"Even if His Majesty admits the false imperial edict, it is nothing more than a pit of fire." Zhuge Yu interrupted Fang Zilan, "Are you willing to risk everyone's lives for your own good?"

"I didn't." Fang Zilan retorted subconsciously, but found that she lacked the confidence at all.

Zhuge Yu was right. She falsely conveyed the imperial edict in the name of Fang Ziqin, which would sooner or later push her into the fire pit.

Seeing Fang Zilan shut up as if she was in the wrong, Zhuge Yu also regretted it. He knew that the muddy water in the southeast was far more unfathomable than it looked, and only by not caring about life and death could he find a way out.

But it was not until this moment that he finally saw the fear in his heart. He could ignore his own life or death, but if the lives of all the Zhuge family were at stake, could he also ignore it?

Fu Congnan's few words before him were all about the rich and powerful, and every word was evidence of guilt. If all the noble families in the world were like this, how could the Zhuge family be immune?
If Fang Zilan keeps investigating like this, she will eventually find the Zhuge family. Maybe she has already found out, but she just hasn't revealed it due to insufficient evidence or some other reason.

Thinking of this, Zhuge Yu couldn't help but say, "Sorry, I'm being rude."

"It's my fault." Fang Zilan turned her head away. "If it weren't for me, you would have returned to the capital long ago and wouldn't have been involved at all."

"That's not what I meant..." Zhuge Yu hurriedly opened his mouth, trying to explain, but was interrupted by Fang Zilan, "Ayu, I am sorry for you. But things have come to this point, if I can't get to the bottom of it, I will not let it go."
