Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1528: Calm down

"What do you know that you dare to say that?" A Wan's voice interrupted the Wu family's head unexpectedly, "Anyone in the world could use Wu Kui's poison, except Madam Fu."

Upon hearing this, the head of the Wu family was filled with anger, and was obviously very dissatisfied with A Wan's rash interruption. "Where did you come from, little girl? What do you know that you dare to question me like this?"

"I know much more than you." Awan clenched her fists, as if she was provoked. Seeing this, Fang Zilan called out "Awan" softly, but she remained indifferent.

"Do you know how painful it is for someone who has been poisoned by Wu Kui to die? If you want to know, go ask Madam Fu how she felt watching her beloved daughter die in her arms." A Wan finished speaking in one breath, and everyone in the room was stunned. She continued to press on, "Do you dare to ask?"

The head of the Wu family was stunned. Dugu Ming looked at Dugu Linxiu in disbelief, "Sister..."

The words he was unable to ask were drowned out by Dugu Linxiu's sobs, so he could only swallow them back. At least he didn't dare to ask.

Xiahou Yunzhao glanced at Awan. She was breathing heavily, her chest heaving, as if saying those words had exhausted all her strength.

"Forget it." Xiahou Yunzhao sighed and said meaningfully, "It seems that the trial cannot continue today."

Li Qiyou, who was standing by, seemed to be relieved. Before he could say anything, Xie Chen said, "Today's court hearing ends here and will continue tomorrow."

The head of the Wu family, who was kneeling on the ground, tilted his body and sat on the ground. Before his inquiring eyes fell on Awan, Fang Zilan pulled Awan away first.

"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."

Fang Zilan understood everything in an instant - Dugu Linxiu's daughter died the year she went to the west to find Warners. At that time, she was responsible for the friendship between Dajing and Persia. With Fang Liren's request, she fought desperately to rescue Warners, but she never thought that in a place she could not see, the ghost gate 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."

"Go with peace of mind. General Xiahou and Xie Qing will not sit idly by. With them to support you, you can go ahead no matter what the situation is." Li Shengxuan lowered his voice and said gently, "If it doesn't work, I will back you up. I can handle Prince Rong'an and Mo Bin."

Fang Zilan looked up and met his eyes. She couldn't help but murmured in a weak voice, "Prince Rong'an... is your majesty's uncle."

"So what?" Li Shengxuan said arrogantly, "If he takes advantage of his age and harms the country, I will not forgive him."

He spoke each word with dignity and solemnity, "Fang Zilan, listen carefully. Between the country and the people of the world and blood, personal feelings, utilitarianism and power, my choice will always be the former."

"I understand." Fang Zilan responded solemnly, kneeling on one knee and said, "Duke Fang Zilan of Yue will obey your orders and quell the rebellion at Mushan Pass. Your Majesty, please wait for good news."

"Okay." Li Shengxuan bent over and helped her up. "Mo Bin rebelled, so the entire Mo family doesn't need to stay."

Fang Zilan nodded in agreement, and Li Shengxuan seemed to remember something and said, "I order Zhuge Yu to go with you."

"That's not necessary." Fang Zilan declined, "Master Zhuge is not in good health, and he shouldn't travel too much. He has worked hard enough fighting against the Jin in the north and suppressing bandits in the west. This is just a small Mushan Pass, I can still handle it, so there is no need to trouble him. Besides, Mo Bin's rebellion has not yet spread. If too many people go, it will be easy for people with ulterior motives to take advantage of it, which is not good."

"Okay." Li Shengxuan did not insist. He had seen and remembered how strong she was. He knew she could stand on her own.

But he still couldn't help but give a few more instructions, "Remember to conceal your identity along the way, and don't alert the enemy. When you arrive at the southeast camp, my people will pick you up. Then you can hold the white jade tiger talisman and command the three armies to quell the rebellion."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured that I know my limits." Fang Zilan bowed and said goodbye, "If your Majesty has nothing else to say, I will take my leave first."

"Fang Zilan, be careful. I'm waiting for your safe return in Qiankun Palace." As soon as Li Shengxuan said this, he felt vaguely regretful in his heart. Such long-winded and nagging concerns should not come out of his mouth.

"I know." Fang Zilan raised the corners of her lips and said confidently, "Your Majesty can trust me in fulfilling my duties."

Li Shengxuan was slightly stunned. It turned out that she remembered everything he said. But how could his feelings for her be expressed simply by the four words "fulfilling one's duty"?

He suppressed all his expressions and whispered, "Go ahead."

Fang Zilan walked out of the imperial study and saw Deputy General Cao waiting for her at the palace gate. "Boss, what happened?"
