Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1568 Retreat

"What's that for?" Fang Zilan asked half-jokingly and half-seriously, "It can't be that General Dugu Ming wants to take His Royal Highness Prince Yucheng back to the capital, right?"

Su Yun opened his mouth, but finally shook his head helplessly. Fang Zilan felt very strange when she saw this, so she didn't wait to ask him again and heard him say, "Speaking of which, Madam, why did you come here?"

"Lord Zhuge sent his servant to invite me here..." Fang Zilan realized something was wrong as soon as she opened her mouth. Looking back, the servant who led her had disappeared without a trace.

"Since the Crown Prince's wife is here, I would like to hear the Fang family's opinion on this matter." Dugu Mingming called Fang Zilan's name, and for a moment everyone's eyes were focused on her.

Fang Zilan calmed down, walked to the courtyard, looked at Dugu Ming and said, "I wonder what little general Dugu said?"

"It's General Dugu." Dugu Ming's expression was a bit colder. However, after seeing Fang Zilan's face clearly, he couldn't help but frown, "You...Mrs. Crown Prince, have we met before?"

Fang Zilan curled her lips and said, "General Dugu is guarding the Western Territory, but I am hiding in the boudoir of the capital. If not in a dream, how could the general have seen me?"

"Since Madam Crown Prince is a woman, she should know what words should be said and what should not be said." Dugu Ming's tone was solemn, and the smile on Fang Zilan's face became brighter, "General Dugu, now that he knows that I am a woman, should know what words should be said." Ask, what shouldn’t be asked?”

Dugu Ming took a deep breath, "The person who was assassinated in the court before had the emblem of my Dugu family on his body. Does the Crown Prince know about this?"

"I know." Fang Zilan nodded slightly, "I was there at the time."

"Then I heard that the Crown Prince's wife was escorted by Zixiu to Zhongling Temple. Is this possible?" Dugu Ming stared closely at the person in front of her, her expression unchanged, "It is true."

Dugu Ming was thoughtful and asked the last question, "Is there anyone who can witness the trip to Zhongling Temple?"

"General Zhou Lang of the Southeast Camp." As soon as Fang Zilan finished speaking, Dugu Ming snorted coldly, "As expected."

Next to him, Li Qiyou's expression changed. Before he could say anything, Dugu Ming was the first to question him: "Do you know, Mrs. Crown Prince, what is the crime of framing a noble family? What is the crime of mobilizing troops without permission?"

Fang Zilan was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized that Dugu Ming was talking about Zhou Lang, and hurriedly replied: "I was entrusted by Mr. Xie for the trip to Zhongling Temple, and General Zhou Lang was also entrusted by His Highness King Yucheng..."

"Entrusted by His Highness King Yucheng?" Dugu Ming interrupted Fang Zilan, "Is there any token to prove it? Without a certificate or order, please don't accuse His Highness King Yucheng at will!"

Fang Zilan glanced at Li Qiyou. His lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end no sound came out.

"His Royal Highness King Yucheng." Fang Zilan clenched her hands hidden in her sleeves into fists, looked at Li Qiyou intently, and asked word by word: "According to what General Dugu said, General Zhou Lang deceived people in Zhongling Temple. Me?"

Li Qiyou met Fang Zilan's gaze and uttered the word "yes" after a while.

Fang Zilan felt a stone fall in her heart. She originally thought that Li Qiyou meant that Zhou Lang led the troops to rescue, but now it seems that it is not the case at all. Then she does not need to owe Li Qiyou this favor, but...

Is it possible that the Dugu family is an easy person? Zhou Lang thought it was just a favor in Li Qiyou's name, but in the eyes of the Dugu family, it was just a matter of fighting for power.

No matter what, Zhou Lang saved her, and today she would protect him from the Dugu family. "I'll ask the prince again." Fang Zilan seemed not to have heard Li Qiyou's answer and repeated, "According to General Dugu, in Zhongling Temple, was it General Zhou Lang who deceived me?"

Li Qiyou was a little at a loss, and Dugu Ming rushed to answer: "Your Highness has already answered clearly, Madam Prince..."

"I'm asking His Royal Highness King Yucheng." Fang Zilan stopped Dugu Ming's words and said in a deep voice: "Why did I go to Zhongling Temple? If I don't go, or I die in Zhongling Temple, what will happen? If Your Highness, If you know it well, you should know how to reply to me." After she said that, she coughed several times.

Hearing the voice, it was as if a string deep in his memory was quietly plucked. Li Qiyou seemed to use all his strength to say, "Yes, it was I who ordered General Zhou Lang to rush to the aid of Zhongling Temple. I am willing to bear all the consequences."

"Fang Zilan, what do you mean?" Prince Rong'an glared at him angrily. Fang Zilan snorted coldly, "Your Majesty knows it very well. Do you really have to make me say it out loud?"

"You..." King Rong'an was furious, but Fang Zilan had no intention of entangled with him. She just looked up at Li Shengxuan who was standing in front of the throne with a serious and calm expression.

Li Shengxuan looked at Fang Zilan. Her expression was so familiar. He was so familiar with it that he often felt disappointed because of the many faces with such expressions in his dreams at midnight.

When he was fighting against Miluo, when he was stationed in the northern border, when he was suppressing bandits and suppressing bandits... the people around him were also so fearless and unafraid of death.

People who have already put life and death aside will not care about the eyes or words of others. Fang Zilan's determination was due to the fact that she had chosen a path toward death.

Her hands are soaked in blood, and she is not afraid of losing her life one day.

Li Shengxuan's hands hidden in his sleeves were clenched into fists. He was silent for a long time and then said: "The Duke of Yue, Fang Zilan, is suspected of killing Princess Rongan. He has been imprisoned in the sky prison and will be tried again later."

In full view of the public, the murderer confessed his crime, but Li Shengxuan still could not say that he would kill without mercy.

"Your Majesty!" King Rong'an burst into tears, and Di Rongzheng gave a cold look, "Your Majesty, Dajing, if you insist on covering up, I, Di Rong's department, will be completely cut off from Dajing from now on, and we will have nothing to do with Dajing anymore."

"Envoy Di Rong, I never like threats." Li Shengxuan said in a deep voice: "Xia Houzhang, send Envoy Di Rong back to the post house to take good care of him."

"Yes." Xia Houzhang accepted the order and left. The envoy Di Rong couldn't believe it: "The great capital actually detained the envoy?"

"Envoy Di Rong is inviting you." Xia Houzhang walked up to Envoy Di Rong and raised his hand as a gesture of invitation. He stood up and walked out of the hall reluctantly.

On the other side, Xie Yanping escorted Fang Zilan to Tianlao. On the way, he couldn't help but said: "Master Fang, although I am not very familiar with you, I don't believe you would kill Princess Rongan rashly. Is there any misunderstanding in this? "

"Master Xie saw it with his own eyes, how could there be any misunderstanding?" Fang Zilan said in an understatement, and Xie Yanping frowned, "But..."

"It's nothing." Fang Zilan interrupted him and said expressionlessly: "Master Xie, this is not the time of interrogation. Don't break the rules and cause unnecessary trouble for yourself."

Hearing this, Xie Yanping pursed his lips and said no more. After sending Fang Zilan to the prison, he said a few words and then left.
