Chapter 1624: Origin
Cao Hong chased Awan to the inn and watched her rush in with the token in hand. She drew her plum sword and pointed it at Princess Erya, asking, "What on earth did you do to the herbs?"

"What herbs, what hands and feet?" Princess Erya looked coldly at the sword that was only an inch away from her throat, her expression unchanged at all, "Miss Awan, I don't understand what you are talking about."

Hearing this, Awan's expression became stern, "Stop pretending to be confused, that day..."

"Miss Awan was also there that day." Princess Erya stopped her words without politeness, "If I really want to do something to the other party, how could you, a medical woman from the Yue Kingdom's palace, not see it?"

"I..." Awan was speechless for a moment. When he was restless, he couldn't hold the sword firmly in his hand and gradually deviated from the target.

Unexpectedly, Princess Erya suddenly grabbed the blade of the sword, letting her slender palms be scratched with blood. She leaned close to Awan's ear and said, "I am the other person, so what if you attack me? Do you dare to kill me?"

"You..." Awan's face was full of shock, and she subconsciously wanted to take a step back. However, Princess Erya's hand was so strong that she couldn't move. She could only listen to her words word by word: "If you kill me, she won't Something's wrong. Otherwise, just wait and collect her body."

A Wan suddenly pulled out the sword, and Princess Erya stepped back repeatedly. While holding her injured hand, she shouted for help: "Someone, the medical girl from the Duke of Yue wants to kill me!"

At this moment, Awan realized that he had been trapped, but it was too late. She turned around and saw Cao Hong in a dilemma. She rushed to his side without hesitation and whispered: "General Cao, you captured me and sent me to Jingzhao Yin Mansion. I did this alone. I can never bring Duke Yue to justice." The government got involved."

Cao Hong was stunned for a moment, and under Awan's urging eyes, he clasped her arm, and then saluted Princess Erya, "Awan was so reckless that Princess Erya was frightened. I will escort her to Jingzhao right now." The Yin Mansion will definitely give the princess an explanation."

"General, please don't make a mistake." The maid next to Princess Erya stepped forward and said sternly: "You not only want to give an explanation to my princess, but you also want to give an explanation to Di Rong's tribe. I think His Majesty in Dajing is probably the wisest.”

Cao Hong looked solemn and said nothing more. Under the supervision of Di Rong's guards, he escorted Awan to Jingzhao Yin Mansion.

On the way, Ah Wan stumbled a few steps unintentionally, claiming to want some water. When the Di Rong guards were not paying attention, he stood in front of Cao Hong and said quickly: "Master Fang said that if His Majesty orders you to take charge of the Southwest Camp, just agree to it." Just come down. If your Majesty asks about Jiangnan Camp, you can refer to Wei Subaru..."

"What are you whispering about?" Guard Di Rong looked unfriendly and tried to separate the two, but Cao Hong blocked his way with his hand. "Miss Awan is from the Duke of Yue's mansion. Lord Fang treats her as his own sister. How dare you touch her?"

"Duke Lan is no longer the Minister of Revenue, but he can still stretch his hands so far?" Fang Zilan snorted coldly, but still patiently read the document in her hand carefully.

The more she read, the tighter her brows furrowed. "There are a few items here that are indeed questionable. I'll have someone verify them first. If they are correct, I'll go to the Ministry of Revenue in person."

"Okay." Zhuge Yu nodded, then called his subordinate officials in and explained the parts that needed to be verified one by one.

Fang Zilan roughly went through the documents on the case, and then assigned them to different people to handle. It was already past noon when the work was completed. She felt hungry in her belly and was about to go out to eat something when she saw Zhuge Yu walking in with lunch.

Seeing this, she couldn't help but sigh, "Ayu, you are so considerate." Zhuge Yu put the lunch on the table while listening to her sighing, "I thought that a young child like Ayu must be treated like a treasure and raised with great care. I never thought that he would be so caring."

"In my generation, apart from my elder brother, I am the only one of the Zhuge clan in the capital." Zhuge Yu said with an indifferent expression, "My elder brothers are often away from home, so naturally I can only take care of my grandfather and elders at home. As time goes by, I will get used to it."

Fang Zilan was keenly aware that she might have said something she shouldn't have said, so she was silent for a moment before speaking again and said, "Speaking of which, these days when I have been closed down, the government has accumulated a lot of official work. I'm afraid they have to be busy. It’s been a while.”

Zhuge Yu didn't say anything, he just looked at her steadily until her hand holding the chopsticks stopped, "A Yu?"

"Sister Lan, do you really want to keep Mo Han in the capital?" Zhuge Yu asked suddenly. Fang Zilan was stunned for a moment and whispered: "That kid Mo Han has always had good ideas, I'm afraid he can't help me."

A flash of astonishment flashed in Zhuge Yu's eyes, "Can't you help me?"

"Yes." Fang Zilan smiled and said helplessly: "He relies on me to pamper him. He has been like this since he was a child. As long as he opens his mouth, I can't do anything to him."

"Since childhood?" Zhuge Yu repeated the word, and Fang Zilan looked a little more nostalgic, "We grew up together since childhood, but unfortunately we got separated later. Now that I find him again, I can't bear to push him away. "

"The land of tigers and wolves is not suitable for a white rabbit to live." Zhuge Yu looked away and said coldly: "If he stays, he will die without a burial place."

Hearing this, Fang Zilan murmured as if to herself: "I'm here, can't I protect him?"

Zhuge Yu glanced at her and shook his head gently, "If you continue to break up, you will suffer." After saying that, he turned and left.

Fang Zilan finished her lunch without any taste, stood up and planned to go for a walk in the courtyard, when she heard reports from subordinate officials that the verification part had been completed.

She checked it again, made sure there was nothing wrong, and left for the Ministry of Finance. The current Minister of Hubu was originally a disciple of the Pei family. He entered the Hubu when he first entered the officialdom. He was promoted by Pei Juqing, Duke of Jui.

Although the Pei family is standing behind the Secretary of the Household Department, he is not rigid and strong. On the contrary, he has a smiling face and is surprisingly easy to talk to. No matter what Fang Zilan says, he nods in agreement, but when the topic comes to the topic, he looks away from him.

After a whole hour, Fang Zilan was so thirsty with him, but he still smiled and handed her tea and water to persuade her not to get angry. His smile was like a friendly lucky cat, which made her lose her temper. Losing his temper, he could only go home in the end.

Zhuge Yu was not surprised to see her return without success, but comforted him: "The Minister of the Ministry of Finance is a smooth man, and it is not easy to deal with him. This matter cannot be rushed, and must be discussed in the long run."

Fang Zilan thought that she really couldn't deal with someone who was as slippery as a loach. He immediately put the documents back and said exhaustedly: "Ayu, I'll be here today. You can let everyone go. I'll think of a solution tomorrow."
