Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 1659 Cut off
"Really?" Fang Zilan said with a half-smile, "If there is an opportunity in front of you now, sir, to choose between my life and finding out the truth, what would you choose?"

Li Shengxuan remained silent. Fang Zilan continued to talk to herself, "Only by finding out the truth can you completely wipe out the bandits, rectify the court, and realize the peace and prosperity you and I promised."

She sounded quite unnatural at the end of what she said, but she still finished. Li Shengxuan still didn't speak, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Just when Fang Zilan didn't expect Li Shengxuan to answer her, she suddenly heard his voice, "At this moment, I choose you."

"You..." Fang Zilan stared at the person so close to her. The implication of his words was obvious. If he was not the emperor of Dajing, but Li Shengxuan, he would have chosen her.

"I'm sorry." Li Shengxuan lowered his eyes, but Fang Zilan smiled to herself, "No need to say sorry. I know your identity is not something you can decide, but I know what I choose."

Li Shengxuan felt mixed emotions and couldn't help but look at Fang Zilan. She raised her lips and her eyes were red. "After Mo Han and Chu Bin left, there are not many people in this world who hope that I will be safe and healthy. So, whether it is true or not, I will remember it even if it is only at this moment."

"Just remembering it is not enough to keep you safe and healthy." Li Shengxuan looked at Fang Zilan steadily and said word by word: "Have you really never thought of using Fang Lihui? Fang Jiachun will be held as scheduled, and Yin Quanzhang will definitely show up..."

"That's enough." Fang Zilan's face was as cold as snow. "I don't want the Fang family to be dragged into this, and don't even think about using Fang Lihui."

"But if the Fang family was originally involved, this is an opportunity." Li Shengxuan said it vaguely. Fang Zilan understood it in her heart, but she still pretended not to understand, "What opportunity?"

Li Shengxuan simply said bluntly, "An opportunity to clear the charge of colluding with mountain bandits."

A hint of shock flashed in Fang Zilan's eyes. It's not that she hadn't thought about it, but something like this, which should have been led by Fang Lihui or her and completed without anyone knowing, had a very different meaning when it came from Li Shengxuan's mouth.

As if it was a golden ticket to avoid death, the emperor of Dajing was willing to turn a blind eye to the actions of the Fang family, and even personally protect them. As long as it was not exposed, there would never be any excuse for them to criticize.

"Why..." Fang Zilan couldn't help asking. Li Shengxuan looked gentle, "Maybe it's because I love you so much. Or maybe, you always have privileges with me."

His feelings, without any concealment, were revealed to Fang Zilan directly and passionately, making her unable to refuse but also unable to accept.

Because she knew that time was fleeting and one day he would return to Qiankun Palace.

At that time, he was still the emperor of Dajing, worshiped by all the people. And she was still switching between several identities, wandering in the darkness, walking on the edge of a knife.

Two people like this cannot be together just based on their feelings.

However, even so, Fang Zilan still heard her own voice, "It would be disrespectful to refuse."

If they were destined to be together only at this moment, then why not just follow her heart and indulge herself for once?

Anyway, this life is long, there are too many mistakes, people missed, and things missed, and it is not worth regretting. But if I don’t have this moment with him, I will always feel regretful. Li Shengxuan stared at the person in front of him, as if he wanted to engrave her in his heart. At the end, the two smiled at each other, and he said in a calm voice: "It seems that you have made up your mind."

"Ouyang Juncheng, come here." When Mrs. Ouyang heard her own voice, she could hardly conceal her trembling.

Ouyang Juncheng walked up to Madam Ouyang, only to see her stand up and draw out the sword of the head of the Ouyang family hanging on the wall, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at him.

"Mother, you..." Ouyang Juncheng stared at Madam Ouyang in disbelief. She stopped the sword in front of his chest, "Ouyang Juncheng, I want you to promise me one thing. From now on, the next head of the Ouyang family will be you."

Before Ouyang Juncheng could react, he heard Ouyang Zongrui shouting, "Mother, how could you do this to me?"

"Come here, take him away and send him to the ancestral hall!" Before Mrs. Ouyang finished her words, the Wei family's personal soldiers who followed her out of the camp outside the capital came forward, arrested Ouyang Zongrui, and took him away.

Ouyang Juncheng remained silent. Madam Ouyang snorted coldly, "There are no outsiders here, so you don't have to pretend in front of me. Zong Rui threatened you with your wife's life and asked you to give up the position of head of the family, but you refused. Are you going to tell me that you have no idea about the position of head of the family?"

"I..." Ouyang Juncheng opened his mouth but didn't say anything.

"As long as you promise me to take good care of Rouer, you will be the next head of the family." Madam Ouyang said, and moved the sword in her hand forward an inch, piercing Ouyang Juncheng's outer shirt.

Ouyang Juncheng's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, mother, I will take good care of sister Zirou. Even if mother doesn't tell me, I will..."

"I said take good care of her, not just spare her life." Madam Ouyang said coldly, "Don't try to fool me."

"Mother is worrying too much. If I can't take good care of sister Zirou, I will be ruined and die, and my descendants will not die well." Ouyang Juncheng made this oath so hard that Mrs. Ouyang was stunned, and finally accepted it. sword.

"You go ahead." Madam Ouyang raised her hand and motioned to Ouyang Juncheng, "Go to the ancestral hall to see if all the elders of the clan have arrived. If they have, send someone to inform me."

"Madam, you must take care of yourself." Madam squatted down and whispered softly, "The head of the family has passed away, and Madam will be in charge of the situation from now on. You must not collapse at this time."

"I know." Mrs. Ouyang's sobbing gradually weakened. She wiped her tears, slowly stood up, walked back to the bed, and stroked the facial features of the head of the Ouyang family one by one with her fingers, outlining his outline.

Finally, she leaned over to Patriarch Ouyang's ear and whispered, "I'll go to accompany you after I've dealt with all this."

After she finished speaking, she stood up, tears still stained her face, but her expression was completely different from before. She simply cleaned up, changed into a plain dress, and wore a silk flower on her head, looking like a widow.

The Ouyang family ancestral hall was filled with elders, and the younger generations stood beside and behind them. Ouyang Zongrui was held captive and knelt on the ground facing the tablet, with Ouyang Juncheng standing next to him.

When Madam Ouyang walked into the ancestral hall, the elders in the room were startled at first when they saw her attire, and then they all stood up after she stood still, with solemn expressions, listening to her every word: "Master Ouyang, you have seen your ancestors, and your soul has returned to heaven and earth."
