Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1508 Return

Li Shengxuan reached out and tucked Fang Zilan's messy hair behind her ears. She did not dodge and let him do it. "This is what His Majesty said. You are not allowed to regret it."

"Of course..." The words "I won't regret it" came to his lips, but Li Shengxuan swallowed them and asked, "What will you do if I regret it?"

"If Your Majesty regrets it, I will hide myself and never see Your Majesty again in my life." Fang Zilan blurted out an answer that even she herself did not expect. She thought that according to her cold personality, she would most likely say to kill Li Shengxuan, but she did not.

Li Shengxuan said seriously, "This whole world belongs to the king. Where can you hide?"

"Your Majesty, are you going to use your royal power to force me?" Fang Zilan's eyes were filled with coldness. Without waiting for Li Shengxuan's answer, she said to herself, "If I can't avoid it, then I will be a stranger to Your Majesty."

Li Shengxuan laughed dumbly, and subconsciously told the truth, "I don't want to never see you again, so I won't regret it."

"I believe you." Fang Zilan said without hesitation, and her address to Li Shengxuan changed from Your Majesty to "You".

Li Shengxuan heard it clearly, and he coughed to hide his smile, and said bluntly: "But if you want to leave the palace for Mr. Su Heng, there is no need to do so."

"What do you mean by that, Your Majesty?" Fang Zilan looked suspicious. Li Shengxuan explained, "After hearing that Duke Yue was executed, Mr. Su Heng took the initiative to submit a memorial, agreeing to return to the capital to resume his post."

Fang Zilan was surprised and asked, "Your Majesty is saying that Lord Su Heng is willing to return to the capital for me?"

"That's right." Li Shengxuan walked to the table, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Fang Zilan. "After the Xiahou family stayed in the old land of Baiyue, the Southeast Camp could not suppress King Rong'an, and was also restricted in dealing with various well-connected officials. It just so happened that after you took over, you handled several major events in succession, won the hearts and minds of the people, and not only stood up to King Rong'an, but officials of all sizes did not dare to act rashly. It was still considered safe, but the situation is different now."

Fang Zilan took a sip of tea and said thoughtfully, "It seems that Lord Su Heng is not a person who holds grudges. He just feels that it is not the time to leave the mountain yet."

"When I was young, I was fortunate to hear some teachings from Mr. Su Heng. He never bears grudges, and is even less willing to compete for credit." Li Shengxuan picked up another cup of tea and sat on the main seat. "He is reluctant to leave the country. I think he feels that every generation has its own talents, and the situation is stable, so there is no need for his old bones to support it. But if there is a storm one day, he will try his best to turn the tide even if he holds on to his last breath."

"From what Lord Pei said, you want to cover up the truth?" Su Yun interrupted Pei Xiaoze in a solemn voice, "How can the deceased rest in peace?"

"I don't even know the truth, how can I talk about covering it up?" Pei Xiaoze frowned, "Lord Su is a little biased."

"Lord Su can't help but be concerned because of his cousin Su Yuexi." Li Qiyou came out to smooth things over, but Su Yun didn't appreciate it. "The person is dead. Even if I am concerned, what can I do?"

Pei Xiaoze coughed lightly, "Sir Su, why do you have to vent your anger on others? The prince also has good intentions."

"Good intentions alone won't accomplish anything." Su Yun said directly, "This time, I stand on the side of the Crown Prince's wife."

"Sir Su, are you standing with the Crown Prince's wife, or someone else?" Pei Xiaoze snorted coldly, "If she had not married into the Prince Zhongzheng's Palace in Miluo, I would have believed her true heart. But she follows her husband, and now she is considered half a Miluo person."

Su Yun did not respond, so Pei Xiaoze continued, "Zhongzheng Prince Murong Qing is still young, and his character is not worth discussing. But his master Mr. Zuo, who is eager to create chaos in the world, makes people think too much." "Mr. Zuo was just a clown, and now there is no trace of his body. Murong Qing is a weak child, and now he is being held hostage in Dajing. What kind of trouble can he cause?" Su Yun's face was as gloomy as water. "But the prince's wife could have cut ties with the Fang family through this marriage, but she still chose to stay, and even went to Zhongling Temple in person to investigate the truth..."

"Just based on this, does Lord Su trust the Crown Prince's wife so much?" Pei Xiaoze couldn't help but interrupt Su Yun's words. He looked uneasy, "Lord Pei had worked with her before. Shouldn't Lord Pei know what kind of person she is better than me?"

"I..." Pei Xiaoze was choked and speechless. The "she" that Su Yun was talking about at this moment was no longer just the Crown Prince's wife Fang Zilan, but the Duke of Xianyue who had long been reduced to ashes in the eyes of the world.

Everyone present was tacitly aware of this.

But Pei Xiaoze was still nervous. Although he had seen Fang Zilan in action and did not completely distrust her, he was afraid of the consequences of doubting her.

So he turned to look at Zhuge Yu, "Master Zhuge has worked with her for a longer time, I wonder if you have any advice?"

"It's not like I'm teaching you anything." Zhuge Yu said calmly, "But from what I know about her, she won't fight a battle without preparation. In other words, she won't just do this one thing."

Li Qiyou reacted suddenly, "Master Zhuge means that she not only sent the remains of King Rong'an to me, but also to other people?"

"That's not what I meant." Zhuge Yu shook his head. "I meant that besides using the remains of Prince Rong'an, she must have thought of other ways. Besides the prince, she must have found someone else."

Before he finished speaking, the other three people's expressions changed. After looking at each other, Li Qiyou spoke first: "Master Zhuge, who do you think she will look for next?"

Zhuge Yu remained silent. Pei Xiaoze's heart tightened and he blurted out, "It can't be Murong Qing. In his hand..."

He didn't say anything else. Apart from Su Yun, Zhuge Yu and Li Qiyou had all seen Murong Qing's Silver Armored Army at Fu Congnan's birthday party, so they knew exactly what he was going to say next.

"Your Majesty, Lord Zhuge, Lord Su, now we are just waiting and watching, which is tantamount to gambling." Pei Xiaoze raised his hand and lightly frowned between his brows, and said seriously: "If she still has her heart in Dajing, it is not a bad idea to give it a try. But if she has other intentions and stands on the same boat with Murong Qing, we must not let it go."

"Master Pei, do you suspect her?" Su Yun's face turned cold. Pei Xiaoze argued, "I just want to make things clear. After all, with her ability, even if there is only a one-in-a-million chance, it will lead to immeasurable consequences."

"I believe her." Zhuge Yu suddenly spoke, and everyone in the room was shocked. Pei Xiaoze was even more distressed, "Master Zhuge, you are confused!"

"I've always been critical of things, not people." Zhuge Yu said calmly, "As for her as a person, I don't trust her. But as for her actions, I've never doubted her."

He paused and said, "However, if she can't wait for the prince to make a decision and takes another approach, I'm afraid the situation will become even more uncontrollable."
