Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1607 Loss
"Li Shengxuan, you are too clever for your own good." Fang Zilan muttered quietly. A Wan didn't hear clearly and asked, "What are you muttering about? I don't think the people in the Jiangnan camp are pretending. If we really investigate, who can keep their identity secret?"

"I can't hide it." Fang Zilan shook her head. "He really is, risking his life and property to lose everything."

"What do you mean?" Ah Wan was full of doubts, Ming Xiang was also puzzled, Fang Zilan sighed, "The human heart is the most unpredictable in this world. In the minds of some people, his trust is a golden ticket to avoid death for doing evil. I wonder if he really doesn't know or is pretending not to know?"

The next morning, Empress Fang Ziqin summoned Wang Quanrui's wife and the other wives who had attended the flower party yesterday to the palace. In addition, all the women in the capital who had imperial edicts and were of high rank were also summoned to the palace.

Fang Ziqin did not directly talk about the embarrassing situation of Fang Zilan who was in trouble again and again yesterday but no one offered to help. Instead, she went from house to house to criticize the sisters and sisters-in-law, making the female members sweat profusely. Even the dumbest ones could hear the hidden meaning.

It was not until the afternoon that, although Fang Ziqin tried to persuade them to stay, none of the female relatives dared to stay for lunch and they all left the palace in a hurry. Only then did they feel relieved.

It was widely rumored in the capital that Fang Ziqin had been in charge of the household at the age of ten, married to Prince Xiang at the age of fourteen, and was in charge of the harem until now, so everyone knew that she was not an ordinary daughter of aristocratic family. She usually did not show off, but once she was disciplined like she was today, it was a sharp move.

Everyone in the Fang family protects their own children, and Fang Ziqin is clearly telling the world that no one can bully her sister.

The women who returned to their respective palaces had learned their lesson and unanimously excluded Fang Zilan from their daily banquets. As for the nobles, after the incident caused by Prince Rong'an, they all knew that the Third Miss Fang, who was weak in both energy and blood, could not be the decisive Duke of Yue, so they gradually put the matter behind them, and Prince Rong'an also left the capital in disgrace and returned to his fiefdom in the southeast.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Prince Rong'an left the capital, Fang Ziqin summoned Fang Zilan into the palace, under the pretext of keeping this sickly sister by her side and taking good care of her.

Now all the women in the capital were getting restless. There was only one queen, Fang Ziqin, in Li Shengxuan's harem. Many noble ladies had tried their best to get in, but Fang Zilan, a weak concubine, was able to enter the palace by relying on her status as the queen's sister.

Even if Fang Zilan did not enter the palace to be a concubine, who can tell what will happen after she enters the palace? If the Fang sisters use some tricks, then wouldn't the harem be completely dominated by the Fang family...

After learning about this, Li Shengxuan readily agreed, but Fang Zilan was reluctant. She originally wanted to stay in the prime minister's mansion and live a leisurely life. How could she want to enter the palace and be bound by rules every day?
However, one person could not defeat the royal power, so Fang Zilan comforted herself that the most dangerous place was the safest place. Then she carried her few small luggage and took Qiu Chan into the palace.

Awan was overjoyed when she heard the news. After all, Wen Ya was the imperial physician and spent most of his time in the palace. She was with Wen Ya, so it was natural for her to be the same. Therefore, if Fang Zilan entered the palace, it would mean that they could meet often.

So, on the first day Fang Zilan entered the palace, Awan followed Wen Ya and entered Fengyi Palace on the pretext that the Queen Mother wanted to ask for her pulse. Along the way, she looked around just to see Fang Zilan.

Fang Zilan naturally saw through Awan's little thoughts, and very proactively appeared beside Fang Ziqin. After Wen Ya took the Queen's pulse as usual, Awan also took Fang Zilan's pulse.

In order to deceive everyone during the flower party, Wen Ya deliberately used acupuncture to mess up Fang Zilan's pulse. Now the effect has worn off and Fang Zilan's pulse is no longer as dangerous as it looked at that time, but one still must not be careless.

Fortunately, the palace has never lacked precious medicinal materials, so no matter what medicine Fang Zilan needs, they can get it. Occasionally, in order to confuse people, Wen Ya and A Wan would deliberately take a few more medicines, so even if someone deliberately paid attention, it would be difficult to get a glimpse of it. Fang Zilan hid in Fengyi Palace for the first two days after entering the palace, which was considered quiet. Who knew that such days would not last long. On the third day, the Queen Mother sent someone to see her by name, and her words and deeds were all accusing her of not knowing the rules and not knowing to pay respects to the elders after entering the palace. By the way, even the Queen Fang Ziqin was criticized for a few mistakes.

Since she was already here, she might as well make the best of it. With the mentality of correcting her mistakes as soon as she knew them, Fang Zilan humbly accepted advice and went to Yugui Palace to pay her respects to the empress dowager the next day.

Fang Ziqin was worried that Fang Zilan would have a hard time coping alone, so she accompanied her to the Yugui Palace. Unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the palace, they saw Li Shengxuan, who seemed to have just paid his respects to the empress dowager.

Fang Ziqin couldn't help but be stunned upon seeing this, and Fang Zilan was also stunned. Logically speaking, Li Shengxuan was not close to the Empress Dowager, the Emperor's sister-in-law. Unless it was necessary, he would never come to pay his respects. Did the sun rise from the west today?

Li Shengxuan was not surprised to see them, he just nodded slightly. Fang Ziqin reacted quickly, and Shi Shiran saluted, followed closely by Fang Zilan, who also saluted.

The Queen Mother looked unhappy and raised her hand to signal them to stand up. Then her eyes fell directly on Fang Zilan and snorted coldly, "The Ai family should have expected that there is no woman named Fang Zilan who is worrying. .”

Fang Zilan still looked delicate and asked puzzledly: "Please forgive me for being stupid. I wonder what the Queen Mother means by this?"

"What do you mean?" The Queen Mother raised her eyebrows, "Your Majesty is here today, why do you have to pretend to be confused in front of the Ai family?"

Hearing this, Fang Zilan felt very helpless, but in order to maintain her delicate persona, she still suppressed her temper and did not refute, and allowed the Queen Mother to continue, "Since you have obtained His Majesty's approval to enter the palace, it is naturally to have a place in the harem, otherwise How could His Majesty come to see the Ai family in person today? How could the Queen accompany you to Yugui Palace in person?"

This rhetoric...

Fang Zilan felt it was hard to say a word. In the eyes of everyone, she entered the palace to be Li Shengxuan's woman. Was it to gain favor for her eldest sister and control the harem?

"Why don't you speak?" The Queen Mother snorted coldly, "But you think what Ai Jia said is wrong?"

Fang Zilan took a deep breath, wrote the word "endurance" a hundred times in her heart, lowered her eyebrows and said submissively: "I know that I am unlucky and unworthy..."

"The Queen Mother does not need to be so aggressive." Li Shengxuan suddenly spoke up, interrupting Fang Zilan's unfinished words, "Even if I want Fang Zilan to enter the palace, it has nothing to do with others. I respect the Queen Mother, and please respect yourself."

After he said that, he glanced at Queen Fang Ziqin and Fang Zilan, then bowed to the Queen Mother, turned around and left the Yugui Palace.
