Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1494 Alertness

"How dare you speak to our prince like that? Are you tired of living?" The confidant rushed forward and bared his teeth at Fang Zilan through the fence. She was not moved at all and asked back provocatively: "So what?"

As she spoke, her eyes swept over the people in front of her one by one, and a beautiful smile appeared on the corner of her lips, "Even if I can't survive, I still have Princess Rong'an to accompany me. Your Majesty must be extremely envious."

She was deliberately provoking him, and soon Prince Rong An lost his temper, "Fang Zilan, I will cut you into pieces!"

"I thought your scheming was so clever, but it turns out that you are just like this." Fang Zilan's smile became even wider, but it was full of unspeakable sarcasm. "Since I have already pleaded guilty, I know that I cannot escape death. What does it matter if I am torn into pieces? But you, your lord, do you really think that this case is over? Who am I working for? Who is the real culprit behind the scenes? You don't know..."

"Shut up!" King Rong'an's expression was as cold as ice, and his tone suddenly became murderous. "You are trying to sow discord even when you are about to die. Do you think I will believe your nonsense?"

Fang Zilan shrugged indifferently, "It's up to Your Majesty whether you believe it or not. It's just the truth. It won't disappear just because Your Majesty doesn't want to accept it."

"You!" King Rong'an shouted angrily, "Someone, open the prison door for me!"

The jailer walked over to open the cell door reluctantly. Prince Rong'an became increasingly impatient and was about to explode when he heard the jailer say respectfully, "Your Highness, please wait patiently for a moment. Lady Fang has a special status, so the cell where she is imprisoned is more difficult to open than other cells."

King Rong'an suppressed his anger, and his confidant rushed forward, snatched the key from the jailer's hand, pushed him hard, and threw him to the side, and at the end he did not forget to curse him under his breath as a waste.

After the jailer stood firm, he replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "It is my stupidity. Please forgive me, Your Highness, and don't blame me..."

"Okay, you can leave now." King Rong'an had a bad look on his face. The jailer immediately exchanged glances with the young jailer and left quickly.

However, before he took two steps, he heard the warden's hesitant voice, "This..."

The warden hesitated until Li Shengxuan and his party walked to the cell where Fang Zilan was imprisoned and saw the figure of Prince Rong'an. Then he said cautiously, "Prince Rong'an is here..."

Li Shengxuan glanced at the warden and said, "I saw it."

The warden immediately fell silent, and retreated quietly at Xiahou Zhang's signal, but he couldn't help but look back a few times, but he couldn't see anything, so he had to leave in disappointment.

"Your Majesty has arrived." Xiahou Zhang's loud voice resounded throughout the sky prison. Upon hearing the voice, King Rong'an was stunned and subconsciously looked in his direction. Sure enough, he saw Li Shengxuan.

Fang Zilan was also startled. While King Rong'an was not paying attention outside the fence, she glanced at the wall in the opposite direction. There was no movement next door. She thought that Mo Han was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, so he would hide well and not make any sound. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel relieved.

"Your Majesty..." Prince Rong'an was stunned for a moment, then bowed respectfully. Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, he heard Li Shengxuan questioning, "What are you doing, uncle?"

At this time, Prince Rong'an's confidant had already opened the prison door. He was stuck at the door and could only look to Prince Rong'an for help. At his instruction, he fell to his knees with a thud.

Unexpectedly, before the confidant could even utter a word after he knelt on the ground, he was arrested by Xiahou Zhang on the charge of trespassing into the Heavenly Prison. He was so frightened that he was dragged away without even a word to protest his innocence.

This drama of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys made King Rong'an even more upset. The murderer Fang Zilan had already confessed her crime, but Li Shengxuan not only did not deal with her as soon as possible, but kept delaying. Until now, it was obvious that he was biased. I wonder how the officials in the court would react after learning about this scene today?

"Please wait a moment." The servant respectfully asked Fang Zilan and Fang Lihui to take a seat, then turned and left.

After a while, Pei Poming's wife came in, greeted Fang Zilan, and said hello to Fang Lihui.

Fang Zilan took a quick look at her and saw that she looked haggard and listless. She was as thin as if she was cut from paper, and her clothes seemed much looser and empty on her body.

"You two..." Pei Poming's wife wanted to say a few more pleasantries, but Fang Zilan interrupted her without any hesitation, "Madam Pei, Master Fang and I came here today to see the wife of Duke Ran to express our condolences."

Pei Poming's wife heard Fang Zilan's implication that she must meet Fang Zitong, and her face turned pale. She forced a smile and said, "Sir Fang, my sister-in-law is too sad and sick. It is really inconvenient for her to come out to see you. Please forgive me, Sir Fang."

"Is the wife of Duke Jing ill?" Fang Zilan frowned slightly. "If that's the case, Master Fang and I have already entered the Pei residence, so why shouldn't we visit her?"

Pei Poming's wife's face froze. "You two are both outsiders. It is really inappropriate for you to enter the inner courtyard. There are many women in the backyard..."

"I am also a woman." Fang Zilan interrupted her and said, "If Madam Pei does not want Mr. Fang to come in, he can stay here. I will go visit the wife of Duke Ran."

Fang Lihui nodded in agreement and said, "Master Fang, what you said makes sense. I will wait for you here."

Pei Poming's wife was stunned for a moment. Before she could persuade him, she saw Fang Zilan stand up and walk out of the hall. She hurriedly chased after her, "Master Fang, you must not..."

"What can't you say?" Fang Zilan stopped and said sternly, "Lord Ranguogong was an important minister of the country, second only to the emperor, but after he passed away, all of you in the Pei family were hiding things, even the wife of the Duke Ran was not allowed to be seen. What's your intention?"

"I..." Pei Poming's wife opened her mouth, but could not say anything. She could only watch Fang Zilan break into the backyard before she remembered to call for help.

The servants of the Pei Mansion were unable to stop Fang Zilan, and allowed her to find Fang Zitong, who was leaning against Pei Ranqing's coffin and dying, in the Pei family ancestral hall.

"Lady of Duke Ran?" Fang Zilan squatted down, put her arm around Fang Zitong's shoulders, helped her up, and examined her.

Fang Zitong didn't have any obvious external injuries, and it seemed that she was weak due to lack of water and food. Seeing this, Fang Zilan felt relieved, put her arm on her shoulders, and led her out of the ancestral hall.

However, as soon as Fang Zilan and Fang Zitong walked out of the ancestral hall, they were surrounded by the servants of the Pei family. An old woman, supported by Pei Poming's wife, stood in front of them and asked angrily, "What is the Lord of Yue doing?"

"What? I should be the one asking Old Madam Pei this question." Fang Zilan snorted coldly, "If I were not here today, how would Old Madam Pei deal with the wife of Duke Ran?"
