Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 272
"People's hearts are treacherous." Fang Zilan repeated the word softly, put the white jade tiger talisman on the ground with both hands, then took out a short dagger from his sleeve, and pointed the tip of the knife directly at his heart. Cut my heart out, and you can tell it at a glance.”

"Fang Zilan, you..." Li Shengxuan looked at her in a daze, only to see that her fingers were slightly forceful, and the tip of the knife had already pierced her coat.

He didn't stop her, but saw her turn her wrist, pointing the tip of the knife to the ground, "Your Majesty, do you really think I will do this?"

Li Shengxuan didn't speak, Fang Zilan put away the short dagger, and said in a solemn voice: "It's foolish to slay my heart to prove myself. Even if I cut my heart out today and put it in His Majesty's hands, I'm afraid His Majesty will not believe me. At that time, I will not only lose my heart killed, and proved nothing."

She shook up her sleeves and continued, "I remember Your Majesty once told me that the word trust should be used against people. Since Your Majesty thinks my actions are trustworthy, you might as well give me more time. I can't do anything to King Rong An today, but in time I will be able to bring him to justice."

Li Shengxuan whispered to himself: "Does a long time see people's hearts?" However, the only answer to him was the silence of the room.

Fang Zilan didn't speak anymore, she handed over the tiger talisman to be honest, she put her life in Li Shengxuan's hands, believe it or not, it's all in his mind, her life and death are just a matter of his words.

After an unknown amount of time, she heard Li Shengxuan's voice, cold and lonely, "I don't blame you for your selfishness. But you know, since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness have been difficult to balance, and you have to make a choice in the end."

Fang Zilan said without giving in, "No matter what, I will take up the responsibility of being the Duke of Jingyue. But Mo Han is my only relative in this world, and I will protect him even if I risk my life. "

"Fang Zilan, what kind of situation do you put me in?" Li Shengxuan clenched his hands hidden in his sleeves into fists, and said angrily, "Or do you think I will tolerate you again and again?"

"Whether your majesty will tolerate me is your majesty's business, and I dare not comment." Fang Zilan's face was expressionless, but her words were stubborn and cold, "but what I have done is worthy of my heart."

"What a shameless one." Li Shengxuan walked in front of her and looked at her condescendingly, "Prince Fang Zilan of the Yue Kingdom doesn't want to repent, and from now on, he is forbidden to enter Fangfu. If there is any violation, he will be killed without mercy. "

Fang Zilan nodded slightly, "Your Majesty, thank you Your Majesty." She stood up and left without looking back.

Li Shengxuan looked down at the half piece of white jade tiger talisman placed on the ground, and a voice kept shouting in his heart - if you kill her, you won't lose.But there was another voice that said - if you kill her, you will definitely lose.

If I knew this earlier, I should have listened to Zhuge Yu's persuasion, be cautious and serious, don't gamble on this game, otherwise I wouldn't be in such a predicament today.

Now, even if he is deceiving others, he cannot deceive himself.His heart was shaking more and more.

Fang Zilan was escorted back to the mansion by the imperial guards in the palace. Although they were escorted, they only followed her. After she entered the mansion, they closed the gate of the mansion and guarded it outside, not allowing anyone to enter or leave.

It didn't take a moment for this situation to spread throughout the capital, and rumors spread all over the place. Apart from the common people in the capital, the families of the princes and ministers also speculated about the reason why Fang Zilan was imprisoned in the mansion.

However, Fang Zilan entered the palace directly after returning to Beijing, and was grounded as soon as she left the palace. During this period, there was not even a gap, so the big families who are used to watching theaters can't even look down on the excitement, let alone know the inside story up.

Therefore, the rumors and rumors that spread to the capital from the southeast became the only evidence. They were carefully deliberated and repeatedly interpreted by everyone, and they had a nose and eyes, and they seemed to be true.

Of course Fang Zilan didn't have time to take care of these things. After she returned home, she originally planned to investigate Cong Rong carefully during the period of confinement, but before she could investigate, she heard the butler talk about Cong Rong's miscarriage.

"When did this happen?" Fang Zilan frowned slightly, and the housekeeper said in fear, "It was the morning when Mr. Fang left the house, the maid who took care of Miss Cong found her fainted in the room with blood all over her body, so she hurriedly called her." A doctor was invited to see it, only to find out that the child had been lost. Before you left, you specifically told me to take care of Miss Cong, who would have thought..."

Fang Zilan interrupted him impatiently, "What did you ask the doctor to say, why did you lose the baby?"

"Miss Cong ate saffron by mistake." After the housekeeper finished speaking, he hurriedly explained: "It was accidentally mixed in. When Miss Awan checked the medicinal materials in the house, she said that the saffron was gone, and she ordered the people below to make up some. It so happened that Miss Cong Rong had to go to the pharmacy to get medicine regularly to raise her baby, so I asked someone to go get it together, maybe accidentally..."

While he was talking, he secretly glanced at Fang Zilan's face, the more he spoke, the lower his voice became, and he lost his voice at the end.

Fang Zilan glanced at him and snorted coldly, "Accidentally?"

"I have already driven the person who took the medicine out of the mansion, as well as the maid who handled it." Cold sweat broke out on the butler's forehead, "As for the rest of the mansion, I have disciplined them. Mistakes like this will never happen again.”

Fang Zilan said in a nonchalant manner: "If you are there again, you will disappear on your own initiative, and don't let me see you again."

"Yes, yes, yes." The housekeeper responded hurriedly, and then heard her ask: "How is Miss Cong now?"

"When Miss Cong lost her child, the moon was too old and she hurt her body. She couldn't get out of bed for a long time." The housekeeper sighed, "I got better a few days ago, and I can get out of bed and walk around, but I'm still haggard. It’s so bad that you can’t stand still when the wind blows.”

"I see, you go down." After Fang Zilan finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something and stopped the housekeeper, "Don't let Miss Cong know about the closure of the mansion. I will tell her personally later."

The butler nodded, then backed away.After he left, Fang Zilan sat in the hall, resting her chin on her hand, lost in thought. All the way to the southeast, she was thinking that if Cong Rong wanted to harm her, she should use some powerful poison.

Now that she knew it was saffron, Cong Rong's suspicion was basically ruled out. After all, not only was the medicine useless to her, but it would cause Cong Rong to conceive and hurt her body.

But the medicine was put in the tea, that is to say, it was not accidentally mixed up as the steward said, but deliberately targeted.It shows that there is another person who prescribes the medicine, and the purpose of this person should be the child in Cong Rong's womb.

Knowing the existence of this child, but not wanting this child to be born... Could it be Fang Yuhan?
The suspicion of coming to the housekeeper is not small. He asked a doctor to find out the saffron, but he didn't find out that there was something wrong with the tea Cong Rong drank.On the one hand, he said that he accidentally mixed up the medicine, and on the other hand, he dealt with the person who handled it, making it difficult for her to check it afterwards, which is really suspicious.

Now she needs to confirm with A Wan that it was the saffron that caused her pulse, and she also needs to test Cong Rong and the housekeeper.It seems that being confined in the mansion, you can't just do nothing, it's really hard work.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

　Before being grounded, Fang Zilan: The dream vacation time at home is coming, excited!
　　After the grounding, Fang Zilan: troublesome, boring, I don't want to take a vacation...
