Don't Ask Where People Go After Time Travel

Chapter 499 Rumors
In the blink of an eye, it was the day before New Year's Eve. In the early morning, Fang Zilan had eaten breakfast, and sat on the porch to watch the people in the house busy, hanging lanterns and pasting window grilles, it was very lively.

The sky was heavy, and the fine snowflakes did not stop all night, and a thin white blanket was spread on the ground. Fang Zilan stepped on it, leaving a shallow footprint.

A Wan came with the medicine, and seeing Fang Zilan's bored appearance, she couldn't help but said helplessly: "If you want me to say, you might as well go to the palace to pay your respects, prepare for the year-end ceremony or something, there are things to do. Otherwise, you can't stay idle." I'm afraid I'm going to get sick from boredom."

"Why can't you stay idle?" Fang Zilan casually took the medicine in A Wan's hand, "It's rare to be clean."

She dragged her tongue, and A Wan snorted, "Purity? You don't know that there are rumors in the capital..."

"What did you pass on?" Fang Zilan picked up the medicine bowl and drank it in one gulp, then looked at it and covered her mouth in silence, Awan couldn't help being curious.

"It's nothing." A Wan hurriedly waved her hand, Fang Zilan said thoughtfully: "I haven't seen Miss Xiao in recent days..."

"Sister Xiao's best friend in Wanhua Building is sick, and she went to take care of her." A Wan quickly cut off Fang Zilan's words, which made her feel rather funny, and called "A Wan" in a nonchalant manner.

Hearing the sound, Awan seemed to be a deflated ball, and said angrily: "Don't say I told you."

Fang Zilan nodded cooperatively, and A Wan leaned close to her and whispered, "I heard that people in the capital have recently said that you are a disaster star."

"Me?" Fang Zilan pointed at herself with her fingers, and A Wan hummed, and muttered: "If you ask me to say it, it's groundless nonsense, but it's still disturbing if there are too many people."

Fang Zilan finally understood, and asked directly: "Why is it said that I am a disaster star?"

"Because since you appeared, first the Shangguan family and then Xiahou's family have either been destroyed or retired." A Wan said while snapping her fingers, "There is also the Fang family. The original head of the family, Fang Liren, is nowhere to be found, and the dude Fang Lihui has been replaced. The Pei family and the Ouyang family are experiencing constant ups and downs, making it difficult to continue."

Fang Zilan nodded and said, "It sounds a bit unreasonable."

A Wan was furious, "It's more than that. It is said that you are a woman but you are in the position of a public servant, so you will attract the eyes of tigers around you, and there will be constant wars in the four realms."

Fang Zilan laughed out loud, "Are all the rumors like this now? It used to be said that women who overwhelm the country and the city are the disasters. When will a Yasha Shura like me bring disasters to the country and the people?"

A Wan could clearly hear the joke in her words, but she was still aggrieved, "Why do you think they have two faces? In times of war, you were an invincible general who defended the country and the people. Now in a peaceful and prosperous world, you However, if one or two small things like sesame and mung beans are mixed in, how could it become a calamity?"

"Small things?" Fang Zilan's smile was not a smile, and A Wan frowned: "Isn't it? Whether it's saving Miss Fang or helping Miss Ouyang, it's an act of righteousness..."

She stopped suddenly as she spoke, her eyes widened as if suddenly reacting, "Could it be that you did it on purpose?"

Fang Zilan smiled, didn't speak, but handed the medicine bowl back to A Wan.

A Wan still wanted to ask something more, but saw a young servant running over in a panic, tremblingly said: "Master Fang, Your Majesty... Your Majesty has come to our house..."

Rao Fang Zilan was stunned when he heard the words, "Your Majesty, what is he here for?"

"I don't know." The boy shook his head like a rattle, "Your Majesty, he..."

"Okay, you step back." Fang Zilan stood up, and looked at the person approaching not far away, it was Li Shengxuan.

In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, Li Shengxuan was dressed in low-key casual clothes, and Xia Houzhang, who was following him, was also dressed simply. The two of them were inconspicuous among the bustling crowd.

However, Fang Zilan's eyes fell on Li Shengxuan, but he couldn't move away for a long time.For some reason, she always felt that the figure in black clothes and cloak in front of her was inexplicably familiar.

It seems that they have known each other for many years.

Awan and the servant saluted Li Shengxuan from afar, then turned and left, leaving Fang Zilan alone, staring at the people from far and near, without moving for a while.

Seeing Fang Zilan, Li Shengxuan seemed to be relieved, and he didn't even care that she stayed where she was and forgot to salute, and said in a gentle voice, "I heard that you were on leave for a few days, and thought you were sick..."

He paused, and finally said: "It's okay."

The two words as light as a feather made Fang Zilan feel a strange emotion in her heart, which was both unexpected and soft.She never thought that Li Shengxuan would miss her.

"I'm... not bad." Fang Zilan opened her mouth hesitantly, many thoughts flashed through her mind, but none of them could explain why Li Shengxuan appeared here.

Suddenly, the atmosphere was delicate, and Xia Houzhang retreated tactfully.Li Shengxuan stared at Fang Zilan steadfastly, without getting to the bottom of it or explaining why he came, the two fell into silence.

"you……"

"His Majesty……"

Suddenly the two spoke at the same time, but stopped at the same time. After smiling at each other, Li Shengxuan said first: "I want to see you."

He spoke bluntly, Fang Zilan was stunned, and blurted out: "The day before New Year's Eve, Your Majesty should prepare for the year-end ceremony..." As soon as she spoke, she stopped, as if she was out of control.

Seeing her hesitate to speak, Li Shengxuan raised the corners of his lips and asked with a smile: "What?"

"Nothing." Fang Zilan pursed her lips, "What did His Majesty want to say just now?"

"This is the fourth year of my accession to the throne. Except for the first year when you stayed in the north, I can see you every New Year's Eve after that." Li Shengxuan said with a serious expression, "I don't want to make exceptions."

Fang Zilan looked at Li Shengxuan in disbelief, a little confused whether he was unconscious or he had taken the wrong medicine.But his gaze was so calm and eager that she couldn't avoid it.

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint His Majesty." Before Fang Zilan finished speaking, she heard Li Shengxuan say: "So, I'm here."

Fang Zilan's expression froze, although since the Lantern Festival about a year ago, she felt that Li Shengxuan's attitude towards her was ambiguous, more sincere than buying people's hearts, but less greedy than children's love.

She pretended to be deaf and dumb, but Li Shengxuan made an inch of it.At this point, if she pretended to be confused again, it might not work.So she simply asked: "What do you mean by your majesty's words?"

Li Shengxuan didn't answer her question, but changed his voice and said: "There are rumors in Beijing, I will deal with it myself, you don't have to worry."

"What rumor?" Fang Zilan pretended not to know, and asked.

"It's good that you don't know." Li Shengxuan's expression was indifferent, but his eyes grew a bit chilly, "It's all just ignorant and foolish opinions that are full of lies."

Fang Zilan was noncommittal, but heard Li Shengxuan say: "However, I do have something to ask you when I come here today."

　The flirting routine between Fang Zilan and Li Shengxuan is just that you come and go to test and use each other...
