Don't ask where people go

Chapter 1324 Change

Fang Zilan looked at the boy and said, "You only have one chance."

The young man was stunned, and felt cold sweat on his back. He had met many important figures, but rarely felt such oppression, regardless of status, position, power or money, but only of life and death.

Madam Fu pursed her lips and was about to say something else when she saw the servant bowing to her solemnly and saying, "I will definitely fulfill your mission."

Master Fu's expression changed, but Fang Zilan was unaware of it and just said to Meng Tingyang, "Open the door."

Meng Tingyang frowned and did not move. Seeing this, Fang Zilan curled her lips and asked, "Why, General Meng, are you afraid that I will rush out with my sword?"

"Madam, the Crown Prince..." Meng Tingyang opened his mouth but was interrupted by Fang Zilan, "If I wanted to fight my way out, I wouldn't have to wait until now."

Meng Tingyang was still hesitant, and Zhuge Yu stepped forward and said, "I'll go."

"Ayu, stop!" Fang Zilan pointed the sword at Zhuge Yu, "I'd rather kill you with the sword than let you go."

Zhuge Yu clenched his fists, worry evident in his eyes. When Xie Chen besieged Fang's house, he had privately sent people to inquire, and the reply said that Fang Zilan looked like a spent force, and he was afraid that she had suffered a lot of losses during the trip to Zhongling Temple.

Others may not know, but he knows that Fang Zilan already has old injuries, and if she gets new injuries, it may be difficult for her to recover. In addition, Awan was taken away by the Xiahou family, so her physical condition will only get worse, not better.

At this critical moment, if Fang Zilan really drew her sword and rushed out, she would definitely fight to the death. However, how could he bear to watch her lose her life?

"Madam, you are willing to go through life and death, but how do you know I am not willing?" Zhuge Yu looked at Fang Zilan steadily. She was stunned for a moment, then relieved, "Whatever."

Seeing Fang Zilan relax, Zhuge Yu exchanged a glance with the servant, and walked to the gate of the mansion without hesitation. When he stretched out his hand, he didn't expect that someone had protected him behind him first. "Master Zhuge, I am still here, so you don't need to go through the life and death of the wife of the Crown Prince of Zhongzheng Palace."

It was Meng Tingyang. He turned around to look at Fang Zilan, then opened the door of the mansion with the servant.

The moment the door opened, the whole Fu Mansion was silent. But in a moment, thousands of arrows suddenly arrived.

Fang Zilan was waiting for this moment. She used the force of the opponent's body to move extremely fast and shot out almost half of the arrows again. There were continuous screams outside the mansion, and the servant took advantage of this moment and rushed out.

"Close the door!" Before Fang Zilan finished her words, Meng Tingyang slammed the door shut and bolted it, then pulled Zhuge Yu back to her side.

Meng Tingyang saw the blood oozing from Fang Zilan's shoulder and exclaimed, "Madam, you are injured..."

"I'm not injured, it's just that the original wound has split open." Fang Zilan said as she tore off her sleeves, wrapped them around her shoulders and tied them tightly, "I'm fine, but Madam Fu..."

She glanced at Madam Fu and said, "Madam is injured, so it's better not to force it."

"I can still hold on." Madam Fu turned her back deliberately. Fang Zilan took out the medicine she carried with her and handed it to her, "If Madam doesn't mind..."

"You are seriously injured, and yet you still worry about others." Zhuge Yu interrupted Fang Zilan's words almost rudely, "Your injury..."

"It's too late to deal with it." Fang Zilan had no expression on her face. She shot down two more feather arrows with her backhand. "Once they recover, their attack will be more fierce than before. I have to hold on until the reinforcements arrive."

"Has the Crown Prince's wife forgotten me?" Meng Tingyang stood in front of Fang Zilan, "Meng Tingyang from the Zhongzheng Palace is willing to fight for the Crown Prince's wife."

"General Meng, you are entrusted by the prince, so the prince is the one you have to protect at the risk of your life." Fang Zilan did not appreciate it, "I understand your concerns, and I don't expect you to do anything for me." "Madam, you are wrong." Meng Tingyang did not retreat, "I am from the Zhongzheng Palace. No matter the prince or the lady, they are the ones I will protect at the risk of my life."

Fang Zilan was speechless, "Just for the two words loyalty and integrity?"

Meng Tingyang said firmly: "As long as Madam is the wife of the Crown Prince of Zhongzheng Palace, Meng Tingyang will protect Madam for a day."

The moonlight was hazy and the stars were dim. Fang Zilan was particularly conspicuous in her white fox fur cloak in the dark night. She was originally half leaning on the railing, but for some reason she suddenly looked towards the window.

Fang Zitong felt inexplicably guilty. Although the windows were closed, she always felt that Fang Zilan could see through her through the window paper.

So she simply turned her back, not looking at the people outside, and walked back to the bed and lay down. She stared at the bed curtains above her head for a long time, then slowly closed her eyes.

Perhaps because he knew Fang Zilan was outside, or perhaps because the past few days were too long and tiring, Fang Zitong stopped tossing and turning and quickly fell asleep.

When Fang Zilan heard that there was no movement in the room, she closed her eyes and rested, while thinking carefully about everything that had happened in the Pei family.

According to Dongxue, Fang Zitong shot Pei Ranqing with a sleeve arrow in self-defense. Although she saw with her own eyes that it was only a scratch, Pei Ranqing died. The most suspicious murder weapon, the sleeve arrow, must have been tampered with by someone, and it is very likely to be poisoned.

  The key question is, who put the poison on the sleeve arrow? What was that person's purpose?

Seeing the Pei family's behavior in broad daylight, it was clear that they wanted to wrongly kill Fang Zitong, so the real reason for Pei Ranqing's death would be concealed.

It seems that the person behind the scenes either made Fang Zitong his scapegoat, or used Pei Ranqing's death to kill Fang Zitong and drag the entire Fang family into the water.

No matter what the reason was, this person hated Pei Ranqing very much, and had no good intentions towards Fang Zitong and the Fang family. The Pei family should be the latter, if it was the former...

Even if he hated Pei Ranqing very much, he would not kill him easily for the sake of family honor.

After all, no matter how poor the Pei family was, they knew very well that once Pei Ranqing died, there would be no one to support the family, and it was only a matter of time before the Pei family would never recover and fall into decline.

But if it wasn’t done by the Pei family, who could it be?

Fang Zilan frowned, feeling as if she was falling into a fog. Everything around her was confusing and she couldn't grasp anything.

In a daze, she vaguely heard Fang Zitong's voice, and when she opened her eyes again, it was already dawn.

"You're awake." Fang Zitong held the quilt in her hand, looking embarrassed and in a dilemma.

Seeing this, Fang Zilan wanted to say something, but she sneezed instead. Upon hearing the sound, Fang Zitong's eyes flashed with panic, "You caught a cold?"

"Nothing." Before Fang Zilan finished her words, she sneezed again.

Fang Zitong wrapped the quilt tightly around her without hesitation, and said angrily, "Duke Yue is an important official in the capital. If anything goes wrong, I can't take the responsibility."

Fang Zilan subconsciously pulled at the quilt on her body, but it didn't pull it apart. Instead, it made her look rounder, like a dumpling. She pulled her hands out and said helplessly, "Second Miss Fang, I'm not that fragile."
