Don't ask where people go

Chapter 1232 Difficulties

Su Yun looked at the person in front of him, suppressed the anger in his chest, and said coldly: "Tell me, who sent you here?"

"Your Majesty, Master Su." The man dressed as a guard looked respectful, but in fact he was arrogant. "Master Su said that if the young master continues to be so stubborn, it will be a matter of time that the Su family is ruined. Rather than doing this, it is better to end it as soon as possible. He has already done this. You have written your resignation.”

"Father, are you... threatening me?" Su Yun gritted his teeth, and the guard raised his eyes slightly, "It's not a threat. The young master is not suitable for officialdom. Master Su just fulfilled his responsibilities as a father and chose a better path for you. ”

"A better way?" Su Yun sneered, "Father, did you think so when you sent your uncle's family to leave Beijing?"

"Everything Lord Su does is for the Su family." The guard raised his head, looked at Su Yun levelly and said, "As long as someone is chosen by Lord Su, that is the best way."

"Bastard!" Su Yun swept the pen, ink, paper and inkstone off the desk, but the guard just looked at him coldly without any reaction, like a stiff puppet.

"My lord, Sir Su's patience is limited. He only gives you three days." The guard relayed: "If my lord has not changed his mind after three days, he will only be offended."

Su Yun's face was full of disbelief, and he subconsciously took two steps back, teetering on the verge of collapse.

At the same time, Zhuge Yu looked at the uninvited guest in the room with a very ugly expression on his face, "What did grandfather say?"

"Boss Zhuge ordered me to tell the second young master to return to the capital as soon as possible and not to stir up the muddy waters in the southeast." The young man stood with his head bowed, "I also ask the second young master not to embarrass me."

"If I don't go back to the capital, how will you stay?" Zhuge Yu said every word as if squeezed out from between his teeth. The boy remained indifferent, "The second young master has been in poor health since he was a child. Now that he can't survive the storm in the capital, he will commit suicide." Please go back to your hometown in Jiang’an to rest.”

Zhuge Yu bit his lips tightly, his face as white as paper, "Grandpa...really said that?"

"Yes." The boy replied resolutely. With one simple word, Zhuge Yu fell into an ice cave and never saw the light of day again.

As for Li Qiyou, who went to visit him in prison, he felt even more mixed emotions when he saw Fu Congnan kneeling upright in front of him.

"Your Majesty, if you want my life, just take it." Fu Congnan said vigorously: "But the Queen Mother and the Dugu family are still waiting for you to return to Beijing. You must not delay it in the southeast..."

"Fu Congnan!" Li Qiyou leaned down and grabbed Fu Congnan's collar through the prison railings. "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"I'm guilty, I admit it!" Fu Congnan said as if he were dead: "But everything has nothing to do with the Dugu family, and it has nothing to do with you, the prince..."

"Of course your crime has nothing to do with me." Li Qiyou looked angry, but Fu Congnan laughed to himself, "Your Majesty, do you really think that it has nothing to do with you?"

"What do you mean?" Li Qiyou felt vaguely uneasy, but it was too late.

I heard Fu Congnan say loudly: "The Dugu family is not innocent, and neither is the Queen Mother. Why do you think you can survive the mud?" Li Qiyou loosened his grip, but Fu Congnan had no intention of letting him go, " Before His Majesty ascended the throne, the two queens in the palace were constantly fighting each other. Even after His Majesty ascended the throne, the fights between them have never stopped. Why don’t you know?"

"I..." Li Qiyou seemed to have lost all his strength, his feet slipped and he fell to the ground.

"My lord, are you afraid?" Fu Congnan had an expected expression on his face, "The swamp in the southeast is not suitable for you. If you don't want to get stains that will never be washed away, you'd better return to Beijing as soon as possible."

"I'm afraid that I will be too dependent and I won't be able to let go. I always think that if someone is blocking the front, I can hide behind and be a helpless shadow. But I don't know that the shadow can also be seen." Fang Zilan replied lukewarmly. After saying this, Zhuge Yu stopped and said, "Fang Lihui is not a shadow."

Fang Zilan also stopped, but did not look back at Zhuge Yu, "He is not a shadow, he is just a shadow for Fang Liren to willingly retreat behind others."

She turned around suddenly, with a hint of imperceptible self-mockery in her tone, "Ayu, don't you think people are weird? Obviously she can live as dazzling as the sun, but for some so-called feelings, she is willing to become The gems that decorate other people's crowns only wish to add luster to others..."

Her voice became deeper and deeper as she spoke, with an inexplicable astringency hidden in every word, "But I forgot how much pain it took to cut myself into such a glorious appearance."

Zhuge Yu looked at Fang Zilan, who had a haggard face but eyes that were as bright as stars. The sadness and sadness in his face seemed to be outlined by this sentence. He had mixed feelings but felt extremely unashamed.

The corners of his lips curled up slightly, with the same light smile on his face as always, "If Zhuge Yu can become the jewel on the crown of the capital, it will be worth it even if he is shattered to pieces. If Fang Lihui can become the jewel on the crown of the Fang family, even if it comes to it, it will be worth it." He is willing to fight with all kinds of swords and axes."

As if involuntarily, Fang Zilan heard her own voice, soft and sad, like a flower blooming in the snow, it would disappear without a trace the next moment.

"Fang Lihui is different from you, A Yu. He doesn't have your broad-mindedness but is much more stubborn than you. He is not the jade in the crown of the Fang family, he is just a jade carved by Fang Liren alone. If Fang Liren leaves the Fang family today, I'm afraid that he I would rather have beautiful jade covered in dust than have the glory of being alone."

"What about you, Sister Lan?" As if he was out of control, Zhuge Yu asked this question, his tone filled with doubts, curiosity, and more expectations, but even he himself didn't know what he was expecting.

But he knew that no matter what it was, he wanted to hear her answer.

"I am not anyone's gem, and I will not refract light to add luster to others. Nor am I a moon or star, which relies on the brilliance of others to shine. Nor am I a shadow behind someone, hiding in the dark and shrinking." There seemed to be a bright light in her eyes. , said with great determination: "I want to be my own sun."

Zhuge Yu stared blankly at Fang Zilan, who was almost absent-minded. After a long time, he slowly said: "No wonder Fang Liren said that Fang Lihui is stubborn, and no wonder Sister Lan understands Fang Lihui's paranoia so much. In fact, you are all the same in nature. You think you are obsessed with it." I wanted to live like the sun to warm others, but I didn’t expect that it would eventually become my own obsession.”

His words were like a sharp blade, piercing through the last disguise on Fang Zilan's face and peeling off the obsession buried deep in her heart.

Was it just obsession? A wry smile appeared on Fang Zilan's face. When she closed her eyes, she felt that her whole body was in chaos. The fog was so thick that she couldn't see where she came from, and she couldn't tell the way forward. Did she end up in such a situation?
