Chapter 1506: Repentance

"Amitabha, Miss Fang San is here to listen to Master's lecture again?" The little monk led Fang Zilan into the Lotus Palace with familiarity. She nodded slightly, "Thank you, Master."

Before she finished her words, she heard a commotion in the palace and couldn't help but frowned, "This is..."

"Amitabha, the New Year's community play has been rehearsed in the past two days." The little monk explained. Fang Zilan looked at the crowd and saw Yucheng King Li Qiyou at a glance. "Is this year's community play also in charge of His Royal Highness Yucheng King?"

The little monk shook his head and said, "His Royal Highness King Yucheng is not only the person in charge, but also one of the leading actors."

"His Royal Highness Prince Yucheng will actually participate in the New Year's Festival?" Fang Zilan blurted out, and a gentle voice answered her, "Amitabha, this year is of great significance to His Royal Highness."

Fang Zilan's mind moved, and she suddenly understood what Master Yuan meant. At the beginning of the year, the Empress Dowager left the capital, the Pei family declined, and the Ministry of Revenue fell into the hands of Xu Youtong. Li Qiyou never fought or competed, and was content in the court. In the middle of the year, Princess Rong'an died, and Di Rong's tribe tore their faces with Dajing. He stood up to protect the two princesses. Later, when King Rong'an died of illness, he also asked to go to the southeast.

Although the Queen Mother had always disagreed and put the matter on hold, Li Qiyou's move was enough to show his responsibility as a prince.

After the death of King Rong'an, the southeastern region urgently needed an adult who could keep things under control, preferably a royal relative. Compared to other princes who had little reputation and popularity, Li Qiyou was the most suitable candidate. He had been on the battlefield, served as an envoy, and presided over affairs in the court. He had gone through all the trials and tribulations, so many people thought that he was the successor of Li Shengxuan.

Heir? Fang Zilan was shocked by her own thoughts. The vague details that had been ignored came to her mind along with these three words. She realized that maybe Li Shengxuan had this intention and wanted to train Li Qiyou as his heir...

"Miss Fang San?" Master Liaoyuan stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Fang Zilan's eyes. She came back to her senses and smiled apologetically, "Your Highness Prince Yucheng is handsome and I couldn't help but look at him a few more times. It's really rude to do this in front of you, Master."

"Amitabha, everyone loves beauty." Master Liaoyuan lowered his eyebrows and smiled, "How can you say it's impolite?"

"Thank you for your understanding, Master." Fang Zilan continued speaking along the lines of Master Le Yuan, her tone half serious and half playful revealing an indescribable sense of ease and joy.

Master Liaoyuan smiled and invited Fang Zilan to come in and listen to the sutra. However, before she took a step, someone behind her said, "Miss Fang San, please stay."

Fang Zilan looked back and saw Xu Youtong's son Xu Yi standing not far away with an awkward look on his face. "I heard that Third Miss Fang was seriously injured while saving the Queen..."

"What did you want to say, Master Xu?" Fang Zilan interrupted Xu Yi without any hesitation. "Did you never think that I would have the courage to block the knife with my body, or did you not expect that a sickly person like me would be so strong that I would not die even after being seriously injured?"

"I..." Xu Yi's face turned pale and blue. Fang Zilan snorted softly, "No matter what, thank you for your concern, Mr. Xu."

Xu Yi opened his mouth and managed to utter a sentence after a long while, "I'm glad that Miss Fang San is fine. The flower show before..."

He paused as he spoke, as if he didn't want to talk about the embarrassing past, and then changed the subject, "I am now Master Xu."

It would have been fine if he didn't say the last sentence. Fang Zilan would at most be too lazy to pay attention to him. But after he said it, she felt a nameless anger rushing up and burning her reason to ashes.

"Master Xu has such great authority." Fang Zilan raised her eyebrows and said sarcastically, "Why, do you want to punish me just because I call you Master Xu? I don't know when did the officials of the imperial court in Dajing become so petty?"

"How dare you touch the people from the Duke of Yue's Mansion?" Fang Zilan's face was as cold as ice. The people opposite were all shocked. "Duke of Yue's Mansion?"

"Master Fang, why are you here..." A Wan looked at the person who stepped forward to block her in disbelief. She did not answer her, but just glanced at her sideways. After confirming that she was okay, she met the gazes of several people, "Which mansion are you from? How dare you be so bold?" Several people looked at each other, and one of them said with a smile: "Master Fang, it's all misunderstanding, misunderstanding..."

"What misunderstanding?" A Wan angrily tugged at Fang Zilan's sleeve, "Master Fang, Sister Cong has been kidnapped by them!"

Fang Zilan was startled, and her expression became even colder. The few people exchanged glances and were about to disperse when they heard her shout, "Zheng Yan, don't let any of them go."

Only then did they notice Zheng Yan standing behind them. He and Fang Zilan were standing in front and behind them, and they could not escape even if they had wings.

Just as they were panicking, Fang Zilan had already grabbed one of them by the neck and said, "Tell me, who asked you to kidnap Cong Rong? Where is she now?"

The faces of the other people were full of fear. Everyone in Dajing knew about Fang Zilan's actions. If they made her angry, she would most likely kill them all in the street.

Someone immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, "Master Fang, please have mercy, we... we are from the Pei family..."

"Duke Yan?" Fang Zilan raised her eyebrows. The man kneeling on the ground shook his head like a rattle, "No, it's Master Pei Poming..."

His voice was very soft, but Fang Zilan still heard it clearly. She shook off the person in her hand and said coldly, "Lead the way."

"Master Fang, we know we are wrong!" Several people knelt down and kowtowed, but Fang Zilan was not moved at all. "You refuse to lead the way, are you waiting for me to go to Duke Ran to question you?"

Before they could react, Fang Zilan called Zheng Yan, "Go to Jingzhao Yinfu and ask Lord Xu to come and go to the Duke of Ran's mansion."

"Yes." Zheng Yan took the order and left. The people around him were talking about it.

"It's Master Pei Poming again? I heard that he just married a concubine last month. Why would he rob someone from the Duke of Yue's mansion?"

"Hush, keep your voice down. The concubine that Lord Pei just married was robbed. I heard that the girl was originally engaged, but the man's family was beaten half to death, so they had to cancel the engagement..."

"Oh my god, there is such a thing in the capital city?"

"That guy is the younger brother of Duke Yan. He has done all kinds of dirty things. Fortunately, Pei stood behind him, otherwise he would have died many times..."

Fang Zilan felt uncomfortable when she heard this, but soon she realized something was wrong. She didn't know when the focus of everyone's discussion became that Pei Poming had fallen into her hands this time, and she would definitely uphold justice.

Justice? She didn't have that idea, she just wanted Cong Rong back. After all, although she had been at odds with the Pei family for a long time, she had no intention of breaking up.

The Pei family has Duke Ran and the Empress Dowager. The people implicated include Prince Yucheng Li Qiyou and the current wife of Duke Ran, Fang Zitong. She doesn't want to be enemies with them.
