Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 372 Identity
In Xiangsheng Restaurant, Mo Han looked at Fang Zilan, who was sitting at the table absent-mindedly, and exchanged glances with King Zhuanlun, and couldn't help but said, "Sister Lan, since you're here, do you want to..."

"No." Fang Zilan interrupted him, "I don't care about the affairs of Ouyang's family and Huangfu's family, and I don't want to."

"Then why did Sister Lan follow Miss Ouyang and General Huangfu so far?" Mo Han couldn't help laughing, and the corners of Zhuanlun King's lips curled up.

"I heard that the dishes in this restaurant are good." Fang Zilan changed the topic, "It's just that the food here is really slow."

As she spoke, she looked around boredly, and suddenly remembered something, and said, "We forgot to buy lanterns during the Lantern Festival today."

Mo Han also glanced at the guests in the hall, almost everyone had a lantern by their hand, illuminating the entire hall as if it were daytime.

"It doesn't matter." Zhuan Lun Wang reassured: "There is still time to go out and buy later."

Fang Zilan nodded, and was about to say something when she saw Xia Houzhang walking towards her and saluted, "Master Fang, my master is here to invite you."

"Your master..." Fang Zilan took a deep breath, "Is he here?"

Xia Houzhang nodded slightly, and raised his hand as a gesture of invitation.Fang Zilan hesitated for a moment, and then said to Mo Han and Zhuanlun Wang: "You two don't have to wait for me, you can go back home after buying lanterns later."

After she finished speaking, she stood up and followed Xia Houzhang to the private room on the top floor of Xiangsheng Restaurant.The moment the door opened, she could clearly see the person sitting by the table, it was undoubtedly Li Shengxuan.

"Master Fang, please." Xia Houzhang stood at the door, and after Fang Zilan entered, he closed the door behind him.

Fang Zilan walked up to Li Shengxuan, and was stopped by him just as he was about to salute, "I went out of the palace in micro-clothes to avoid people's eyes and ears, so you don't need to be too polite."

Hearing this, Fang Zilan was not polite, and sat directly opposite Li Shengxuan, "Why did Your Majesty come here?"

"In the capital, outside the palace walls, Xiangsheng Restaurant is the highest place." Li Shengxuan explained briefly, and Fang Zilan echoed: "It is indeed a good place to enjoy the scenery."

Seeing that she was unwilling to say more, Li Shengxuan changed his voice and said: "During the New Year's drama, I saw that your complexion was not very good. Later, I heard from Zhuge Yu that you rarely go out during the first month. Is it because your illness has not recovered?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty." Fang Zilan said in a low voice: "My illness is old and difficult to recover from. I just need to take care of it carefully. It's okay."

Li Shengxuan was noncommittal, "Since you need to rest and recuperate, why did you bother to send the book into the palace, and even went to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice?"

"I just follow my heart and do what I should do." Fang Zilan couldn't see any expression on his face, Li Shengxuan asked thoughtfully: "Really?"

Fang Zilan responded: "Yes. I think His Majesty has read the papers I sent to the palace. The cause and effect are clear. I have nothing to say."

"That's not what I asked." A look of helplessness flashed in Li Shengxuan's eyes, "I said that I hope to see the real you, including your heart."

Fang Zilan was a little astonished, on Chongyang Day, she thought Li Shengxuan was just talking nonsense, but who knew he was so serious.

She was silent for a long time before she said: "I want to ask something disrespectful, please don't blame me, Your Majesty."

"You just ask." As soon as Li Shengxuan finished speaking, she heard her say: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, in what capacity are you asking me now?"

Li Shengxuan didn't speak, Fang Zilan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could calm down, he heard his voice, saying word by word: "Friend, I regard you as a friend."

In just one sentence, it was no less than a thunderbolt striking down in the air, which made Fang Zilan unable to react for a long time.

She fixedly looked at the person in front of her, and replaced the person she called herself, as if she suddenly tore off the layers of tulle between the two, and even her face became much deeper.

She looked at it for a long time, then turned her head and looked away, "If there are no His Majesty and the Duke of Yue here tonight, but only Li Shengxuan and Fang Zilan, then you can ask whatever you want. However, there are some questions I don't know. Reply."

"Okay." Li Shengxuan said slowly, "What I want to ask is not the past, but the future."

future?Fang Zilan was stunned for a while before saying: "Let me tell you something."

Li Shengxuan hummed, and heard her say: "When I was studying, I had a special admiration for a general in the book. This general was the school captain, and he made great achievements in galloping on the battlefield. It's a pity that God is jealous of Yingcai's longevity. He was only 24 years old. died of illness."

She paused, poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and continued: "This general's uncle is also a very heroic general, but it turned out that I had no feelings for him when I was studying, but who Now I admire him even more.”

"Why?" Li Shengxuan asked, Fang Zilan pursed her lips, "Since ancient times, beauties are like famous generals, and the world is not allowed to see gray hair. Everyone in the world says this is about beautiful women, but they forget that the same is true for famous generals. Young generals are brave and good at fighting. Ma's young spirit has never experienced the turmoil of the world's people and his family, and he was a frank and honest man until his death, as if he was a light without any shadows."

Li Shengxuan understood what she meant, and sighed softly, "But behind the light, there will always be shadows."

"Yes, a person who is so proud that he is almost flying and domineering, if he doesn't die young, he will eventually be wasted by the world." Fang Zilan's voice was a little bit lower, "Since I have been favored by the heavens and have not died in the battlefield, I can't envy such a young man Lang. But if he is like his uncle, he can stand upright and not fall, even if I think about it, it will be difficult for me to do it."

Hearing this, a clear look flashed in Li Shengxuan's eyes, and said: "This is the real reason why you want Cao Hong to serve as the general of the government, and you don't set up a family and raise soldiers?"

Fang Zilan lowered her eyes and said: "If someone follows me sincerely, but I can't even save their wealth and life, is it not a disappointment? I can be the sharpest sword in the world to shock the world, and I can also be a target in the eyes of the aristocratic family. , but no matter which one it is, it is dangerous, and there is no need for others to share the burden with me."

Li Shengxuan collected his expression, and said solemnly: "What if I say, I would like you to share the responsibility and keep your life safe?"

"I believe in your words, and I also believe in your intentions." Fang Zilan said quietly: "But the world is impermanent, and maybe one day I will become a pawn that you have to give up. If there is such a day, I can still protect myself , you don't have to make things difficult for me."

Li Shengxuan's expression was gloomy, "Fang Zilan, why do you have to think of the future so dangerously?"

Fang Zilan suddenly smiled. At that time, Li Qiyou outside Yanzhou City also asked her similar questions, and her answer never changed.

She heard her own voice very clearly, "This way I won't be too disappointed."

Li Shengxuan looked at the person in front of him, only to see her bright eyes and a slight smile: "However, although I don't ask you to share the burden with me, I still have something to ask for."

　Let go of your identity, although you can talk about your heart, but you can't talk about it after all
