Chapter 1496 Facing danger

"I'm going back." Fang Zilan said this stiffly and turned to leave.

"Fang Zilan, if you are worried that Murong Qing is involved, I can investigate." Hong Tai's voice came from behind Fang Zilan, "Until we find solid evidence."

"No need." Fang Zilan did not stop, "I will check the things I am not sure about myself."

She had never thought that Murong Qing might be involved in the mess in the southeast. But she didn't want to go into details, so she distanced herself from Murong Qing as if she was running away.

But Hongtai's words are not unreasonable. Now that King Rongan's body has been destroyed, and the evidence in their hands cannot be made public rashly, a breakthrough is indeed urgently needed.

If Murong Qing is really involved...

Fang Zilan's hand holding Mei Jian tightened. Would she really push Murong Qing out?

"Sister?" Murong Qing's voice suddenly sounded, pulling Fang Zilan back from her thoughts. She stood by the door and suddenly felt dazed for a moment, almost thinking that she heard wrongly.

However, the person sitting in the main hall of the inn, with a face as pale as paper and finely carved eyebrows, who could it be if he wasn't Murong Qing?

Why do people who should be in the post house appear here? Fang Zilan suppressed her doubts and subconsciously raised her head to look out the window. The sky was already pale.

"You..." Fang Zilan opened her mouth, but in the end she did not ask "Why are you here?" but instead asked, "Have you been up all night?"

"Madam, the prince, the prince stayed up all night to find you?" Meng Tingyang came quickly. Fang Zilan did not look back at him, but just stared at Murong Qing for a while, and then said: "The prince is really good at finding you." The inn where I stayed.”

"I certainly used some tricks." Murong Qing nodded generously, "Fortunately, it's not too late."

"What's not too late?" Fang Zilan was stunned. Murong Qing stood up and walked towards her, but he was shaky.

Meng Tingyang wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Murong Qing's look. Seeing this, Fang Zilan sighed, "Tell me, why is the prince looking for me?"

"I have nothing to do, so I can't look for you?" Murong Qing stood in front of Fang Zilan. He was not as tall as her. He had to raise his head slightly to meet her eyes, but he still looked at her almost persistently.

"Your Majesty, if you have nothing to do, I will go and rest." Fang Zilan stretched his muscles, "After all, I have worked hard all night, and I am really tired."

She didn't hide anything, and Murong Qing didn't ask any further questions. He just said, "I do have something."

Fang Zilan said nothing, waiting for Murong Qing's next words, but saw a hint of sadness on his face, and hesitantly said: "I want to take you to a place."

Fang Zilan remained silent, and Murong Qing felt a little embarrassed, "I won't delay you for too long. I just think that since I'm here, I will regret it if I don't go."

This sounds like what a boy of his age would say. Fang Zilan cursed, but there was no response.

"Are you...willing?" Murong Qing couldn't help asking, but didn't get a reply from Fang Zilan. Instead, she got a burst of laughter. "Prince, you waited all night just to ask this question?" Awan laughed so hard that she fell backwards. She didn't give Awan face at all. Murong Qing coughed lightly, and her ears turned red. "I'm not..."

"Nothing?" Before A Wan could say anything more, Fang Zilan grabbed the back of her collar and dragged her over. "Why are you here too?"

"Your cousin can't be cured, so I must find someone who can cure him, don't you think?" A Wan said confidently. Fang Zilan was startled, "What do you mean by can't be cured?"

"Under severe punishment, his hands and feet are disabled and cannot be cured." Awan thought for a moment and added, "Plus, he soaked in the water for too long and caught a cold, which left a root of the disease. From now on, he can only stay in bed and take medicine to stay alive..."

"That's enough." Fang Zilan bit her lips tightly, her face gloomy. A young and elegant man like Fang Lihui, at such a young age, has ended up with his hands and feet crippled and has to rely on medicine for the rest of his life...

"You're lucky to be able to keep your life." A Wan comforted him, "Fortunately, the Fang family is rich, so we can always afford to support Master Fang..."

"Can you afford it?" Fang Zilan interrupted Awan's next words and said in a deep voice, "The Fang family doesn't support idle people. I'm afraid those old guys will take advantage of the situation."

"Your Highness." Fang Zilan interrupted Li Qiyou in a deep voice, dragging her injured leg and slowly walked in front of him, "Take a good look at me, who am I?"

Li Qiyou's expression froze for a moment, but when he saw Fang Zilan's injured leg, he reacted, "Are you the nobleman who fell from the city wall that the people just mentioned? No, you didn't fall, you jumped down by yourself..."

He stopped talking halfway, "You...you are Fang Zilan, the Duke of Yue! You are not dead?"

"Mo Han is dead." Fang Zilan ignored Li Qiyou's shock and said sternly, "Li Qiyou, the person you shot was not Xu Yi, but Mo Han."

"I..." Li Qiyou lowered his head like a child who had done something wrong, not daring to look directly at the person in front of him.

When the arrow was shot, he was completely stunned, his mind went blank. He finally reacted, thinking that he had killed Xu Yi.

For him, killing was not the first time. He had killed enemies on the battlefield and dealt a heavy blow to the barbarians. But now he was in the capital. On the stage of the New Year's Festival, he accidentally killed an innocent court official...

Later, in the chaos, he saw Awan walking quickly towards him, and then he realized that the person under the mask was not Xu Yi, but Mo Han.

With just a quick glance, he was taken away in the chaos. Suspicion and guilt tore at him along the way, almost making him collapse.

On the one hand, he suspected that he was seeing things wrongly. How could Mo Han appear on the stage of the New Year's Festival? However, he was too impressed by that one glance, and since A Wan was the first to rush over, he could no longer deceive himself.

On the other hand, his unclear feelings towards Fang Zilan also made him love Mo Han. When the Yueguo Mansion was confiscated, he specifically asked where everyone in the mansion had gone. After learning that Mo Han had gone to the Xu Mansion, he was finally relieved. After all, the Xu family had a good reputation and would definitely treat him well...

"Li Qiyou, I think I treated you well, and even saved your life in the northern border." Fang Zilan said angrily, "But I never used my kindness to demand repayment, and I never asked you to do anything, so how did you treat me?"

When she was excited, she couldn't help but cough a few times, took a breath, and continued: "When you invited me to perform in the New Year's community play, I suffered from all kinds of attacks, but I never complained to you. If there is any friction between you and me, it is that I rejected your marriage proposal. But if you hold a grudge against me for this, just come after me. Why did you want to kill Mo Han?"
