Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1598: Restriction

"Mr. Zuo was just a clown, and now his body is gone. Murong Qing is weak and is being held hostage in the capital. What kind of trouble can he cause?" Su Yun's face was as gloomy as water. "But the wife of the prince could have cut ties with the Fang family through this marriage, but she still chose to stay and even went to Zhongling Temple 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."

Li Qiyou's expression was stern, "Master Zhuge, do you have any clues?"

"Not yet." Zhuge Yu thought and said, "What I can think of is to start with the heads of several major prefectures, but now they are all in prison and under control, so they are useless to her." "The Dugu family has distanced themselves from the matter, and General Xiahou has been detained." Li Qiyou analyzed along with Zhuge Yu's words, "Among the five families in Lingnan, the Fu and Wu families have already been killed, and they are even more silent. At this juncture, who else can she turn to?"

"Master Fang?" Lin Jian called out tentatively, but Fang Zilan stopped and asked coldly, "Is this the ancestral hall of Linjia Village?"

Lin Jian nodded, and Fang Zilan stepped in without hesitation. However, she stopped not far away, and Lin Jian also stopped behind her, "Master Fang, what does this smell like?"

"It's pine oil. That woman is going to set a fire." Fang Zilan's face became colder. She looked up at the eaves and asked the white figure, "Am I right?"

Lin Jian followed her line of sight and saw that the woman was sitting on the eaves. He was stunned and asked, "She injured her hands and feet, how did she get up there?"

"Master Fang is right. I am going to set fire." The woman smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if my hands and feet are injured. As long as I am still alive, I will destroy Linjia Village."

Her words and demeanor were completely different from before. Lin Jian looked confused, but Fang Zilan remained calm. "Ms. Su, what deep hatred do you have with Lin Village that you must destroy it?"

"Miss Su?" the woman repeated softly, her eyes reddened and her lips curled up in a smile. She stood up slowly and bowed to Fang Zilan, saying, "Su Yuexi, daughter of the Su family, greets Lord Fang."

Lin Jian stared at the person who was almost unable to stand on the eaves in amazement, and saw her say with a serious face: "Master Fang, can I tell you a story?"

Fang Zilan remained silent, and Su Yuexi continued to talk to herself, "When Emperor Ning Shun first ascended the throne, my father Su Che left Beijing under the pretext of retiring and went to the East China Sea to look for the elixir of life. My father had been an official for half his life and was fair and honest, but he was influenced by his family and firmly believed that there was an elixir of life overseas. He brought my mother and my sister to the southeast, but he never expected to encounter gangsters when he passed by Linjia Village."

She paused, her voice trembling a little, "It's not appropriate to make the search for medicine public, so our family didn't bring any guards, which gave the criminals an opportunity to take advantage of us. They killed my parents, captured me and my sister, and humiliated me in every way..."

As she spoke, her tone suddenly became fierce, and she gnashed her teeth and said, "What's worse, they used the money they looted from my family to buy the position of Linjia Village Chief from a petty official under King Rong'an, and bullied men and women in the village and did all kinds of evil things! My poor father was a clear-minded person all his life, how could he have imagined that after his death, someone would use his money to buy official positions and sell titles, which is so unscrupulous?"

Fang Zilan listened to her words carefully and interrupted calmly, "Seven years ago, a minor official under Prince Rong'an was investigated and punished by General Xiahou, which caused an uproar in the court. Is this incident related to you?"

"Lord Fang is really amazing. You guessed right. It was me who risked my life to escape from Linjia Village and handed the evidence to Miss Yan'er." Su Yuexi shed tears, "If it weren't for Miss Yan'er's help, how could General Xiahou reach out to the territory of King Rong'an? But I didn't expect that my escape would be discovered, and my sister was beaten to death by them in order to protect me. At that time, she had just given birth to Heng'er for less than a month..."

Fang Zilan was stunned for a moment, then blurted out, "Do you know Miss Yan'er?"

"More than knowing each other?" Su Yuexi burst into tears, "Master Fang, I was the one who killed Miss Yan'er."
