Don't ask where people go

Chapter 1468 Hesitation
Fang Zilan smiled slightly, "Young General Dugu, there is no need to test me. The one standing in front of you is the third daughter of the Fang family, the wife of Prince Zhongzheng - Fang Zilan, absolutely the real one."

Dugu Ming was silent for a while before he said, "It's General Dugu."

Fang Zilan smiled even more, "I will change my mind when General Dugu takes over the important task from General Dugu Xin."

Dugu Ming was stunned for a moment, then blurted out, "Do you know my father?"

"General Dugu Xin has been guarding the Western Border for several years. Who in Dajing doesn't recognize him?" Fang Zilan was vague about the words, but Dugu Ming was still relentless, "Really? But I always feel that the Crown Prince's wife is not telling me the truth."

Fang Zilan's smile froze on her face. "Young General Dugu, I risked my life to come to see you, not to talk about these things..."

"Madam, if you are unwilling to tell me the truth..." Dugu Ming paused, "Then no matter what you say, I will not believe it."

Fang Zilan restrained her expression and asked, "What will it take for General Dugu to believe me?"

Before Dugu Ming opened his mouth, Fang Zilan added, "There are some things that I won't tell you even if General Dugu asks."

Before she finished her words, Dugu Ming suddenly spoke up, "Just one thing."

His resolute look made Fang Zilan feel relieved. "Young General Dugu, please ask again."

Hearing this, Dugu Ming took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Madam, have we met before?"

It would have been impolite to ask this in the daytime, let alone in the middle of the night, which was filled with an indescribable ambiguity.

But he asked in a very serious manner, without feeling that there was anything wrong with it, which made Fang Zilan at a loss as to how to answer for a moment.

"The Crown Prince's wife can't answer?" Dugu Ming thought for a moment, "Then let me change the question. Qiluo City..."

"Yes." Fang Zilan interrupted Dugu Ming's question and met his gaze, "We have indeed met."

The intuition of people who have experienced many battles is always accurate, not to mention that when Dajing and Miluo fought, Dugu Ming rushed to help Qiluo City and saw her. Even if she could hide it for a while, she probably couldn't hide it forever.

Dugu Ming bowed and said, "Madam, rest assured, I will keep my mouth shut."

Fang Zilan coughed lightly, "Young General Dugu, there is no need to do this..."

"It has to be this way." Dugu Ming stood up and looked at Fang Zilan steadily. "The Crown Prince's wife is already married, but I haven't arranged a marriage yet. If what happened tonight is known to a third person, our reputations will be ruined."

"So what General Dugu said was..." Fang Zilan's voice became lower and lower as she spoke. Dugu Ming pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What else do you think the Crown Prince's wife think I said?"

Fang Zilan waved her hand quickly, "Forget it, let's talk about business. Tomorrow, I will go to the Fu Mansion to meet Fu Congnan's aunt."

Dugu Ming quickly reacted, "Is the Crown Prince's wife afraid that the Wei family will interfere in the affairs of the southeast?"

"No." Fang Zilan shook her head and said, "Although I don't have much friendship with the head of the Wei family, I know what kind of person he is. The affairs of the southeast are related to the foundation of the country, and he will not intervene rashly."

Dugu Ming thought for a moment, "If it's not for Wei's sake, then why did the Crown Prince's wife come?" Fang Zilan didn't beat around the bush and said, "During the court trial, someone used the name of the Dugu family to assassinate. Has General Dugu found out about this?"

Seeing Dugu Ming shook his head, Fang Zilan said, "They won't give up, I will be the next target.

Dugu Ming looked puzzled, and Fang Zilan explained, "You have two important things to do right now. One is to get a divorce, and the other is to escort the daughter of the Dugu family to the capital."

Her words immediately enlightened Dugu Ming, "Madam, are you talking about the Fang family... the Queen?
"Yes, now in the Fang family, only my position as the wife of the prince is stable." Fang Zilan's tone was quite self-deprecating. Dugu Ming said in a deep voice: "But you represent the friendship between the two countries. If they want to kill you, wouldn't it bring chaos to the world?"

Fang Zilan leaned close to Dugu Ming's ear and said, "Have you ever thought that maybe what they want is to bring chaos to the world?"

Dugu Ming subconsciously wanted to take a step back and increase the distance between them, but Fang Zilan's words seemed to have nailed him down, and he stood still in the same place:

"From the invasion of pirates, the epidemic in the southeast, to the battle against Miluo. Now, there are the bandits in Feiling Mountain, the fire in Zuiyue Tower, and the riot in Zhongling Temple... Has the southeast ever been truly stable in these years?"

"Sir, do you know why most of the Pei family members are weak and sickly and always carry medicine with them?" Fang Zilan said indifferently, "That is the sequelae of the frost poison. I am the same now."

"You mean..." Murong Qing took a step back suddenly, and said in disbelief: "It's the Ghost Gate?"

"The frost poison was originally given to the secret guards to make them obey orders." Fang Zilan stepped forward and rested her hands on the railing. "If not, why do you think Zixiu allowed the Ghost Gate to order her around?"

Murong Qing calmed down, as if trying to determine whether Fang Zilan's words were true or false. After a while, he said, "Is there no antidote?"

"There is an antidote." Fang Zilan's voice was a little lower, "But, after so many years, no antidote can help."

"Sister, you..." Murong Qing walked carefully to Fang Zilan and put her hand on her shoulder. "Even so, I will do my best to find a way to detoxify you."

He stood on the corridor, Fang Zilan stood below, the two were almost the same height. If someone passed by and saw the way they looked at each other, they would probably think that they were deeply in love.

Fang Zilan glanced sideways at the hand on her shoulder and said softly, "It's useless."

The railing between her and Murong Qing was like a clear dividing line, separating them from each other.

He had always been the prince standing on the steps, fighting for the destiny. And she, standing at the bottom of the steps, was fighting for life and death - her own life and death, the life and death of the Fang family, and even the life and death of the people of the world.

"It's okay." Murong Qing withdrew his hand and said seriously: "No matter what my sister says, I will give it a try."

"It's up to you." Fang Zilan didn't bother with Murong Qing any more and turned to boil the medicine.

She was worried in her heart. She had deceived Murong Qing with the Frost Poison. This time, she had succeeded, but how long could she deceive him? With his ability, he would find out the poison sooner or later. What would she do then?
But in the chaos in the southeast, she didn't have the heart to care about these things, and she didn't know how Xie Chen was investigating. The five families in Lingnan were not easy to deal with. If they wanted to start with the Wu family...

Fang Zilan sighed. The best breakthrough point would be Wu Ying, but she was Xiahou Mingxun's wife after all. Could the Xiahou family really do that to her?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shake her head, trying to get rid of all the thoughts in her mind. What's wrong with others being kind and lenient? As long as she is ruthless enough, there are plenty of ways to force them to take action.

Let Fu Congnan’s aunt, who was from the Wei family, be the first person.
