Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1576 Difficulties

"Miss Awan, you just said that the recipe of Wu Kui is in the hands of the Su family. Do you have any evidence?" Xie Chen's voice suddenly sounded, and Awan shook her head subconsciously, "I have no evidence..."

"Since there is no evidence, it doesn't count." Xiahou Yunzhao interrupted Awan, "You were originally a female doctor in the mansion of Duke Xianyue. Like her, you are a habitual liar."

"I..." Awan wanted to argue, but when she saw Fang Zilan giving her a look, she immediately fell silent.

"Whether Wu Kui's poison is related to the Su family, we will know once we ask Lord Su Yun when he comes." Fang Zilan said indifferently, "Why is General Xiahou so aggressive?"

Xiahou Yunzhao curled his lips in a smile, "From what the Crown Prince's wife said, are you going to make the decision for Miss Awan?"

"Mr. Xie is here in the court, how can it be my turn to make the decision?" Fang Zilan said as she looked at Xie Chen, clearly reminding him that as the presiding judge he should not be partial.

Xie Chen glanced at Fang Zilan, then turned his gaze to Xiahou Yunzhao, and asked the head of the Wu family, "Sir Wu, according to what Madam Fu said, the banned poison came from the Wu family. Is this true?"

The head of the Wu family hung his head and spoke after a while, "Although my Wu family is a well-known and prestigious family in Lingnan, and we do have some Cordyceps business under our name, but..."

He didn't say anything more. Xiahou Yunzhao beside him asked with a smile, "But what?"

"But that's Lingnan. Even if a fly flies out, it can't escape the eyes of the Xiahou family. How can I avoid the Xiahou family's illegal drugs?" The head of the Wu family seemed to be more and more aggrieved. He knelt on the ground with a plop, "I beg Mr. Xie to make the decision. Don't wrongly accuse my Wu family!"

"Unjust?" Xiahou Yunzhao repeated the word meaningfully, and said with a smirk, "That's right, we need evidence for everything. It seems that you won't cry until you see the coffin."

"General Xiahou, what do you mean?" The head of the Wu family looked up at Xiahou Yunzhao and said angrily, "Don't try to slander my Wu family just because you have a private relationship with Mr. Xie!"

"Who do you think I am, Xiahou Yunzhao?" Xiahou Yunzhao said coldly, "If I hadn't caught someone who was trading illegal drugs, why would I have entered the customs alone and ignored the safety of the Xiahou family?"

"May I ask who General Xiahou has arrested?" The head of the Wu family clenched his fists and shouted at Xiahou Yunzhao, "That's Aying, my biological sister, the wife you, the head of the Xiahou family, married in a formal ceremony! If I don't risk my life to bring her back to the Wu family, General Xiahou will torture her into confessing, use her blood as a guide, and use the corpses of my Wu family as stepping stones, so that your Xiahou family can rise to prominence."

Xiahou Yunzhao pursed his lips and said calmly, "Do I need it?"

However, the more calm she acted, the more the head of the Wu family kept pestering her, "General Xiahou, you have been resentful for a long time because King Rong'an suppressed you before. Later, Fang Zilan forced you to hand over power and resigned, and took away the title of Duke of Yue, which made you even more upset. If you had known this would happen, why did you surrender and give Concubine Yu away..."

"Shut up." Xiahou Yunzhao looked down at the head of the Wu family and said word by word: "Concubine Yu is the biological mother of the current emperor. You are not worthy of mentioning her."

"I am not worthy?" The head of the Wu family sneered, "General Xiahou, if you and Xie Chen had not surrendered, how could the Baiyue land be in this state? How could the Xiahou family be in this state?"

"This is my Xiahou family's business, and has nothing to do with you." Xiahou Yunzhao's face was as gloomy as water. "Now that Xie Chen is in court, I only have one question - do you, the Wu family, admit to the crime of privately trading in illegal drugs?"

Fang Zilan did not sleep well that night. She had no idea whether Dugu Linxiu, holding the account book, would fight to the death or give up and wait for death. In addition, with the variable Dugu Ming, it would be difficult for the Dugu family to just let it go.

But if the Dugu family takes action, it will not be the end, but the beginning.

At that time, the demise of the Shangguan family was still fresh in people’s minds. She could destroy a noble family with just one letter colluding with foreign enemies. Why couldn’t others do the same?

If Dugu Ming could not withdraw in time, the Dugu family might become the next Shangguan family. It is true that we have to guard the border, but it is also true that we have a guilty conscience. The robbers outside the West Gate City have been suppressed for so many years, but they have never been eliminated. If it were not for the civil unrest in the countries in the Western Border, and the most powerful Persia had allied with Dajing, I am afraid that the Western Border might not be stable.

The water in the south of the Yangtze River is unfathomable, and the water in the west is not shallow either. Everyone threatened or dissuaded her from getting involved in this muddy water, as if if she continued to delve deeper, she would be swallowed up by the aristocratic families involved without leaving even a bone.

They all forgot that before she became the Duke of Yue, she was also the Duke of Beiguo in Dajing.

Fang Zilan stood in the northern border, stepping on the corpses of the Shangguan family and flowing with the blood of Liujin City.

The fairness she wanted could not be given by others, so she would fight for it herself. As for what means to use and how many lives were taken, she didn't care.

Just because by the time we get here, it has completely changed beyond recognition.

"Lan'er?" Wan Jun's anxious voice was close to her ears. Fang Zilan tried her best but couldn't open her eyes. She could only vaguely hear him saying to someone, "If the fever can't be reduced, Lan'er's life will be in danger."

How could it be so serious? Fang Zilan thought to herself, but her consciousness was erratic and she soon fell into a coma.

"We can't go on like this." Xiao Xuan'er frowned, "Sir, I'll go to Xiahou's house and ask Miss Awan to come back."

It’s not that she doesn’t trust Wan Jun’s medical skills, but Awan has always been taking care of Fang Zilan’s health, especially this time on the way back from Miluo, Fang Zilan’s condition has recurred, and she can’t do without Awan.

Wan Jun nodded, and Xiao Xuan'er got permission and disappeared in a flash.

Fang Zitong, who was standing outside the door, had a gloomy expression on her face. She asked the maid beside her in a low voice, "Is my father not back yet?"

The maid shook her head and said anxiously, "Second Miss, will something happen to the master?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Fang Zitong's face turned cold, and the maid was silent. Wan Jun in the room heard the noise and walked out quickly.

"Excuse me, sir, how is Lan'er doing now?" Fang Zitong looked unhappy. Wan Jun said in a deep voice, "Not very well..."

"I saw you and Miss Xiao busying around for so long, and I thought you were a powerful person." Fang Zitong interrupted Wan Jun and said indifferently, "It seems that you are just like that."

Wan Jun did not argue, but just responded: "The Crown Prince's wife's illness is indeed difficult."

"Since you know that Lan'er is the wife of the Crown Prince of Zhongzheng Palace, you should know what to do." Fang Zitong looked indifferent, and Wan Jun remained calm. "From what Miss Fang said, you mean to return the Crown Prince's wife to the Crown Prince Zhongzheng?"

"What else?" Fang Zitong said as if it was a matter of course. "As the saying goes, once a daughter is married off, she is like spilled water. There is no place for her in the Fang family now."
