Chapter 419
Zhuge Yu watched Fang Zilan's figure disappear from sight, and asked in puzzlement, "Why is grandfather..."

As soon as he spoke, he saw his grandfather turning pale, covering his heart and slowly bending down, so he hurried forward to support his grandfather, and said anxiously: "Grandfather, you..."

"It doesn't matter..." Zhuge Yu's grandfather interrupted him, and said in a deep voice, "Have you checked the origin of this Duke of Yue?"

"I've checked, and there's nothing unusual." Before Zhuge Yu finished speaking, his grandfather turned cold, "Is there nothing unusual, or can't find anything at all?"

Zhuge Yu was startled, pursed his lips and said, "I can't find anything, it seems to have appeared out of thin air."

"In that case, why don't you advise His Majesty?" Zhuge Yu's grandfather coughed violently, "Is that how I taught you that you let a man of unknown origin become the Minister of the Empire?"

"Grandfather, I..." Zhuge Yu wanted to say something more, but his grandfather didn't give him a chance at all, he just shook off his hand and walked away.

Zhuge Yu vaguely guessed that his grandfather must know something, which made him furious.But what?

He searched for a long time, but couldn't find Fang Zilan's background. He was really uneasy at first, but as time went by, his doubts were gradually wiped away by Fang Zilan's words and deeds, and now he is almost defenseless.

To this day, when I saw my grandfather react like this, it was as if a basin of cold water poured down my head—from the beginning to the end, Fang Zilan was a mystery.

But now, it's not only her grandfather who has doubts about Fang Zilan, Fang Zilan must also have doubts about her grandfather's attitude, but I don't know what she will think?

However, what Zhuge Yu didn't know was that although Fang Zilan felt strange about his grandfather's attitude at this time, she didn't have any doubts. Instead, she was reflecting on whether her behavior was astonishing and could provoke Zhuge Yu's grandfather. The old man reacted so strongly.

Amid self-doubt, she returned to the mansion sullenly. Pei Poming's wife in front of the mansion was long gone, and only Awan was sitting on the steps looking at the passers-by in a daze, wondering what she was thinking.

"You're back!" A Wan stood up, running and jumping up to Fang Zilan. She hummed and asked casually, "What are you doing sitting here?"

"Wait for you guys to come back." A Wan spoke confidently, Fang Zilan was taken aback, "Us?"

"Yes." A Wan nodded, "You have been summoned to the palace. Mr. Mo and Sister Xiao went to buy wedding gifts, and Sister Cong went to General Cao's mansion to talk with Sister Bai. I am the only one left, so boring. .”

"What congratulatory gift?" Fang Zilan frowned slightly, and A Wan said angrily, "Just as you left, a servant from the Pei family came to find Mrs. Pei, saying that the imperial edict to marry her had arrived."

Fang Zilan bit her lips lightly, and the more A Wan spoke, the more angry she became, "You don't know Mrs. Pei's embarrassing face at that time, she was afraid that others would not know that Mrs. Pei was going to marry the Fang family, and she was showing off in front of our house Yes, really..."

Fang Zilan didn't listen to what A Wan said later, but just reached out and put her arms around her shoulders, "Okay, let's not talk about this, let's go back."

A Wan looked at Fang Zilan's calm expression, and couldn't help but wondered: "Didn't you object to this marriage between the Pei family and the Fang family before? Why didn't you respond after entering the palace?"

"What's the use of objecting?" Fang Zilan sighed softly, "I can't help after all."

A Wan carefully tugged on her sleeve, "Fang Zilan, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, but what about the supreme position? I can't help myself..." Fang Zilan's tone was cold, and Awan subconsciously raised his hand to cover her mouth, and said in a low voice, "How can you say these things? If someone I heard that, I'm afraid I'm going to get into trouble!"

Fang Zilan snorted coldly, and took A Wan's hand casually, "I have nothing to be afraid of." After she finished speaking, she dragged her towards the mansion without waiting for A Wan to speak.

A Wan remained silent, letting Fang Zilan take her back, and then looked at her as if nothing had happened, taking herbal meals as usual, recuperating, and then busy with official duties.

On the day of Fang Zitong's marriage, Fang Zilan sent a congratulatory gift, and then left on the pretext of being busy with business.Before she left, she looked at the red silk and wedding candles and the staggered cups of wine, and suddenly felt inexplicably sad.

Maybe one day in the future, like Fang Zitong, she will be married to someone by a decree.It's just for honor and decency, and the balance of interests has nothing to do with Fengyue's sincerity, I wish you what you love.

However, her melancholy didn't last long, and a marriage that fell from the sky fell on her——

The news that Yucheng King Li Qiyou asked Li Shengxuan to marry Fang Zilan, Duke of Yue, spread throughout the capital.

As the person involved, Fang Zilan seemed to have been hit by a bolt from the blue, and her first reaction was, is Li Qiyou crazy?

The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager also shared her thoughts. I heard that the Empress Dowager fainted from anger when she heard the news, and the Empress Dowager also fell ill in a hurry.

But Li Shengxuan neither agreed nor refuted, but only said that Fang Zilan, the Duke of Yue, was an important minister of the country, and she should ask him about her life-long affairs, so he naturally passed on the hot potato of King Yucheng.

Therefore, the matchmaker and the steward of the Yucheng Prince's Mansion went to the gate of Yue Guogong's mansion every day, but they were so persistent that they even went to the gate of the mansion to block Fang Zilan. Out.

As for King Yucheng himself, he was dragged into the palace by the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, who kept telling him to redesign the candidate for the concubine.

However, for some reason, the always docile King Yucheng was extremely stubborn this time, he didn't listen to a word, and went on a hunger strike to protest. The two empresses were so angry that they detained him in the palace.

Fang Zilan sighed several times when she heard the news, and finally she asked Xiao Xuaner: "Why did King Yucheng marry me, did you find out?"

"Master Fang in the northern border, you once saved King Yucheng, and he has loved you since then." Xiao Xuan'er looked at Fang Zilan's gloomy expression, and said cautiously: "Additionally, a few days ago, Duke Juan The marriage with Miss Fang..."

She paused for a moment before saying: "I think it has stimulated King Yucheng. He is afraid that if you don't mention marriage, you will be forced to marry someone else, so he specially asked His Majesty to issue an order..."

Fang Zilan waved her hand to signal her not to speak, and Mo Han couldn't help asking: "Sister Lan, you and King Yucheng..."

"Nothing!" Fang Zilan cut off his words, and said quietly: "Maybe King Yucheng confused the grace of saving his life with the affection of love? I saved him purely because I was afraid that he would die. The two ladies in the palace don't care. It has nothing to do with him that he will let me go. If I had known this, I might as well not have saved him in the first place."

"King Yucheng has a noble status after all, sister Lan, if you rashly refuse the marriage, I'm afraid it's inappropriate." Mo Han showed embarrassment, "Your Majesty is also aware of this, so he pushed the problem to you."

"I know." Fang Zilan sighed again while speaking, Mo Han worried: "Sister Lan, have you thought about what to do?"

 Fang Zilan: Li Qiyou, what kind of logic is this?Afraid that I will be forced to marry someone else, isn't it forced to marry him?
