Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 169 Mask
"Master Fang really doesn't know?" The person who answered Fang Zilan was Pei Xiaoze, she shook her head in bewilderment, "I really don't know, I hope Master Pei will tell me."

Pei Xiaoze explained patiently: "Recently, there has been a corruption case in the Northern Territory, and the person involved is Lord Qi Yuming, Protector of the Northern Territory."

"What did you say?" There was obvious shock on Fang Zilan's face. She subconsciously looked at Zhuge Yu, but seeing that he didn't respond, she immediately understood that maybe he knew it a long time ago, but he just didn't tell her.

Seeing this, Pei Xiaoze quickly comforted him: "The evidence in this case is insufficient and has not yet been clarified, so few people in North Korea and China know about it. What's more, Mr. Fang is now in charge of southeast affairs, so it's normal not to know about it."

Zhuge Yu, who hadn't made a sound for a long time, said indifferently: "If we don't go, it will be too late, and it's not good to keep the prince and the adults waiting for a long time, let's go."

Fang Zilan followed the two of them to the Lianhua Palace in a daze. As soon as he entered the inner court, he saw the princes of the aristocratic families dressed in white and blue shirts gathered together, muttering something in a low voice, and all their eyes fell away. On Wei Subaru in the corner.

And Ouyang Juncheng and Wang Xianhui, both pretending to be demons, stood together not far from Wei Subaru, whispering to each other while daring not to go forward.

The obvious caution and alienation of the crowd made Fang Zilan frowned involuntarily, and asked Zhuge Yu in a low voice: "I saw your elder brother's attitude towards Lord Wei at the palace steps this morning, and now these people are also very strange to see Lord Wei. What's the matter?"

Zhuge Yu replied softly: "Duke Wei was deposed the day before yesterday, they are looking at the direction of the wind."

"Lord Wei's father?" Fang Zilan's expression became even more shocked, and her voice became a little louder.Pei Xiaoze, who was next to her, coughed a few times and helped her cover it up.

Fang Zilan gave Pei Xiaoze a grateful look, then lowered her voice, "Why don't I know anything?"

"I saw that sister Lan has been working hard recently, and these things don't matter to you, so I didn't tell you." Zhuge Yu said it as a matter of course, Fang Zilan's face was dissatisfied, "It doesn't matter, you don't care if you say it."

Hearing this, Zhuge Yu was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to say something, Fang Zilan continued to ask: "What is the wind direction now?"

"Duke Wei was dismissed because of his lack of self-cultivation. The matter of the back house is not on the table, so it is not a serious crime, and it will not implicate the family. Since the Wei family is one of the nine princes, the new decree of the title will come soon. It will come down." Zhuge Yu answered calmly, and Fang Zilan's expression became colder, "So they are waiting for the new Duke of Wei to appear?"

Seeing Zhuge Yu nodding slightly, Wei Yi, whom she had seen in Yuzhang Palace before, flashed a flash of light in her mind, and she couldn't help asking: "I just saw Master Wei Yi's proud appearance... the next Duke of Wei, could it be he?"

Zhuge Yu shook his head, "Your Majesty's Sacred Heart decides arbitrarily, and we can't guess what the outcome will be."

He said, his eyes fell on Li Qiyou who had just walked in, and he reminded in a low voice: "The prince is here."

Fang Zilan followed his gaze and saw that Li Qiyou was holding several masks, all of which were hideous ghost faces.

She couldn't help but asked aloud, "This is?"

"A demonic mask." After finishing speaking, Pei Xiaoze walked forward, greeted Li Qiyou and took the mask from his hand.

Ouyang Juncheng and Wang Xianhui who were standing in the corner also came over, Pei Xiaoze distributed the mask to several people, Fang Zilan hesitated for a while and finally took the mask.

"Lord Fang, wait a minute." Awan's voice suddenly broke into everyone's ears. She walked quickly to Fang Zilan's side, grabbed the mask from her hand, and inspected it carefully without paying attention to the expressions of others.

Li Qiyou's expression sank a little, and he looked at Fang Zilan and said, "Who is this? He acted so boldly."

"My lord, calm down." Fang Zilan said calmly, "This is the medical lady from my mansion, and she came to the palace with me this time to pay her respects."

Hearing her words, A Wan raised his head in a polite manner, and said respectfully: "A Wan has seen the prince."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Fang Zilan and said: "There are many rules in the palace, so A Wan delayed coming here for a while, Mr. Fang, don't blame him."

Li Qiyou's expression became more and more gloomy, and he said coldly: "What is the meaning of Master Fang? Could it be that you can't trust me?"

A Wan smiled and said: "My lord, Mr. Fang is concerned about the country and the people, but he is always indifferent to his own affairs. People around me must worry about it. It is always right to be cautious. "

Li Qiyou snorted coldly and stopped talking. After checking, A Wan handed over the mask in Fang Zilan's hands.

The people watching all around were whispering to each other, and A Wan frowned a little displeased by her gossiping like no one else, but because of her status, she couldn't get angry, so she could only let them point and point.

"Miss, the inspection is over, is there any problem?" Li Qiyou's tone was not kind, and A Wan said neither humble nor overbearing: "No. The prince's gentlemanly demeanor is A Wan's villain's heart, and I hope the prince will be happy."

She naturally showed no timidity, and spoke with humility, and with Fang Zilan by her side, Li Qiyou didn't dare to embarrass her for a while, so he had to let it go.

Seeing that Li Qiyou kept a straight face and did not speak, others naturally did not dare to speak too much, and the scene was suddenly deserted.

Until Pei Xiaoze stood up and broke the deadlock, "Does the lord have anything to say?"

His words eased the atmosphere just right, Li Qiyou nodded slightly, and checked the details of the social drama performance with everyone one by one, and after confirming that they were correct, he went to the high stage of Zhuque Street with everyone.

The high platform is backed by the palace wall and the city tower, and connected to Zhuque Street outside.The street was already full of people who came to watch the opera. The fence not far in front of the high platform blocked them out, but it still couldn't stop their excitement. Everyone's face was filled with joyful smiles. And lively.

Fang Zilan looked at the people outside from behind the stage, unconsciously infected by their happiness, the corners of her lips were gently pulled up and she smiled softly.

Awan also had a cheerful expression on her face. She waved to Fang Zilan and shouted loudly: "I can't get in, so I will watch outside with Deputy General Cao. Be careful!"

Fang Zilan also waved to her, signaling her not to worry, and then watched her bouncing around and Vice General Cao blend into the crowds of the market.

Zhuge Yu looked at the bustling crowd with a relaxed expression, and said involuntarily: "The New Year's Eve in the capital is indeed very lively."

His voice was very soft, but Fang Zilan still heard it.

She turned her head to look at Zhuge Yu, her eyes twinkled and she said, "Ah Yu, it's the Chinese New Year."

A simple sentence made him feel extremely warm.

Wei Subaru on the other side folded his arms and looked at the two amusedly, and said to Pei Xiaoze beside him, "Look at the appearance of the two of them, it seems that they are celebrating the first New Year in their lives."

　Everyone: It's Chinese New Year, so happy!
　　Wei Subaru: Make a fuss, be bored...
