Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1560 Residence

For some reason, Fang Zilan felt indescribably funny when she heard the word "life". She actually laughed out loud, causing Dugu Huizhen to glare at her angrily, "What does the Madam mean by this?"

Fang Zilan said bluntly: "Why trust something if you can't hold it in your own hands?"

"Others may be like this, but I am not." Dugu Huizhen said arrogantly, "Once I enter the palace, I will be second to none and everything in the world will be in my hands."

"Entering the palace may be an opportunity, but..." Fang Zilan felt dizzy before she finished speaking. Awan beside her hurriedly supported her and said, "You are weak, you should go back and rest first..."

"Wait." Dugu Huizhen stopped Fang Zilan and said, "Madam, what are you talking about?"

"The world is unpredictable." Fang Zilan closed her eyes and lowered her voice a little, "I hope Miss Dugu will keep her distance and not embarrass others or herself."

Dugu Huizhen was silent for a long time, and finally gave way, "I promise you, no matter what happens in the future, I will not embarrass the queen in the palace."

"In that case, thank you very much." Fang Zilan bowed and let Awan help her leave.

After returning to the room, Fang Zilan sat on the bed to rest. A Wan said unhappily, "I think this Miss Dugu doesn't know how to advance or retreat, and doesn't know what's good for her. She can't threaten the Queen in the palace at all."

"Even though what Dugu Huizhen said today was wrong in many ways, there was one thing that made sense." Fang Zilan raised her hand and lightly frowned, "For a woman from an aristocratic family, her birth is her best support. Right now, the Fang family is indeed no match for the Dugu family."

A Wan's heart sank. Fang Zilan seemed to have seen what she was thinking. "But the Fang family is the Fang family, and I am me."

"What do you mean?" Awan poured a glass of water and walked over to hand it to Fang Zilan. She took it and drank it all before saying, "What the Fang family can't do, I can do."

"I thought you would say that no one in the world can compare to you." Awan took the empty cup, turned around and poured another glass of water.

"Where in the world can such a person exist?" Fang Zilan said with a smile, "Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, and there are always areas where one is inferior to others."

"It's rare to hear Zixiu, the best in the world, say this. It's really refreshing." Awan sat down next to Fang Zilan and changed the topic, "Seriously, I've heard about what happened recently from Mr. Wan and Sister Xiao. The Dugu siblings haven't made any moves yet. Aren't you afraid that they're doing something secretly?"

"What's the point of being afraid?" Fang Zilan sighed softly, "With the abilities of the Dugu family, if they really want to do something, it's hard to prevent them."

"What should we do?" A Wan said with a bitter face, "We can't just sit there and wait for death, right?"

"We are not waiting to die, but watching the situation." Fang Zilan said slowly, "At this critical juncture, no one can sit still. We just need to wait for them to lose their composure."

"I understand." Ah Wan seemed to be thinking about something, but suddenly she seemed to remember something and frowned, "That's not right. If they use static to control dynamic, then you've worked in vain, right?"

"Our little Awan is still young." Fang Zilan stretched out her hand and pinched Awan's face. "The knife is already on her body. If she still uses static to resist dynamic, she will only bleed to death and eventually lose her life."

A Wan subconsciously pushed Fang Zilan's hand away and touched her face. She felt an inexplicable chill rising up, "The more I struggle, the faster I'll die?"

"That's what I mean." Fang Zilan nodded. "Don't they want to gloss over the situation? Then let them take a good look at what the glossed-over peace looks like." Fang Zilan's heart was always hanging, because all the big and small news coming in from outside the palace were enough to make her uneasy.

First, King Rongan fell ill shortly after he returned to the Southeast. Then, several newly appointed officials in the Southeast were assassinated. The whole family lost their jobs, and there were also those who went to Jiangnan Camp and Southeast Camp to take up their posts. Several lieutenants were also killed invariably and died on the road.

Finally, there are frequent rains in the summer. The area under Su Heng's jurisdiction is remote and located in the mountains. Landslides block the mountain roads. Therefore, his return to Beijing can only be postponed, fearing that it will be far away...

People were panicked for a while, and officials of all sizes inside and outside the capital were in panic all day long. It has only been a year since the last time Wu Sheng, Yang Zhiqing and others were assassinated. In the blink of an eye, so many adults have died again. No one knows who will die next.

Fang Zilan felt a little relieved when she heard that Cao Hong had arrived safely. However, the number of lieutenants assigned to him was severely damaged, and only one of them arrived normally. And from the news she received, it was all the work of ghosts.

No one in the world knew that assassinating an official of the imperial court was a serious crime. This was the first time that the ghost sect had left traces everywhere with such great fanfare.

Suddenly, Fang Zilan understood why Ji Ningtian benefited from leaving her alive.

Among the ghost gates, apart from Zixiu, the king of hell of the ten palaces is the most respected one. Since he has the name of King of Hell, he is definitely not a good person. Even if Shidian is obedient, he will never be able to appear in front of others.

If Ji Ningtian wanted to cause trouble one day, the first thing he would do before that was to clean up the ghost gate. It's OK to use cunning methods, but it can't be exposed, let alone be talked about.

Only when all the ghost gates and the ten kings of hell disappear can Ji Ningtian feel at ease, and no one will criticize him for future troubles.

But ordinary Jianghu people can't destroy the ghost sect at all, let alone kill the ten kings of hell.

The only possibility is to borrow the help of the imperial court.

Therefore, Ji Ningtian allowed the ghost sect to do evil everywhere, and ordered the king of hell of the ten palaces to kill the court officials at will, and deliberately left evidence in order to put them to death.

But even if the imperial court took action, it would be easy for both sides to suffer losses when facing the Jianghu people. At this time, she would be useful if she kept her life...

Thinking of this, Fang Zilan slowly closed her eyes. Li Shengxuan saved her life regardless of the consequences, which was probably beyond Ji Ningtian's expectation, so Ji Ningtian took advantage of the situation and set up the second half of the game. Not only could he take her life, but he could also disrupt the government and destroy the Ghost Gate, which could be said to be killing three birds with one stone.

However, if Ji Ningtian had the intention of destroying the ghost gate, it meant that he no longer needed people to do the secret work, which meant that his power on the surface was stable enough.

Murong Qing of Miluo and Di Rong's tribe are both Ji Ningtian's allies. In Dajing, the attitude of the Huangfu family in the northern border is unclear, and the King Rong'an in the southeast is ill. These two allies are not infallible...

Could it be that Ji Ningtian controls other forces that she is unaware of?

Unknown things always make people afraid, let alone unknown enemies? Fang Zilan has been busy for more than ten days, but still has no idea what to do. Qianjinfang lost a lot of people when Chu Bin went south to search for evidence. Some people are still looking for Chu Bin's whereabouts. Their whereabouts are scattered, so the transmission of information is not as fast as before.

Just when Fang Zilan was hesitating whether Qianjinfang should concentrate its efforts on an in-depth investigation, news of King Rong'an's death suddenly came from the southeast.
