Don't ask where people go

Chapter 1211 Burning the Body

"Right now, it has not been decided that Prince Zhongzheng of Miluo will return to China for marriage. If His Majesty goes to Jiangnan in person, who will take charge of the overall situation?" Zhuge Yu's voice was filled with anxiety. Fang Zilan had never seen him like this before, so she couldn't help but ask: "But What’s going on over there in Miluo?”

"Not yet." Zhuge Yu shook his head, "But the news of Crown Prince Zhongzheng returning to the country to visit his relatives has been spread all over the world, and Miluo's credentials will be presented to His Majesty sooner or later."

"Are you afraid that you will let the tiger return to the mountain?" Fang Zilan was thoughtful, while Zhuge Yu was noncommittal, "Those Miluo people are not easy people. It is best to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but..."

He coughed lightly and said, "I heard something recently. Queen Miluo and Crown Princess Zhongzheng died of illness not long ago."

Fang Zilan looked shocked. As far as she knew, Queen Miluo had always been healthy and not a sickly person. As for the Zhongzheng Crown Princess Tao Zhiwei, wasn't she grounded by Murong Qing? how come……

As if he knew what Fang Zilan was thinking, Zhuge Yu leaned close to her ear and whispered: "In this case, Murong Qing will definitely return to Miluo."

Fang Zilan was thoughtful. The death of the queen was a great mourning for the country. Murong Qingxu had to return to Miluo to pay homage. Could it be that it was Prince Zhongzheng's palace...

No, it won’t be Prince Zhongzheng’s Palace. Although she only met Murong Xun a few times, she knew that he was not such a person, otherwise she would not have been in a situation where her youngest son was sent to a foreign country as a hostage.

But if there was no conspiracy, how could the good Queen Miluo suddenly die of illness?

"What are you thinking about?" Zhuge Yu's voice brought Fang Zilan back from her thoughts. She lowered her eyes and said, "It's nothing. I was just thinking about whether Queen Miluo died of illness. Is it true or false?"

"It's hard to tell the truth from the false." Zhuge Yu's expression was dark and unclear, "Queen Miluo was originally established by the Queen Mother Lin for the king Mu Churui. You should know that Mu Churui is not the Queen Mother Lin's biological child. Qi King Mu Chuji is the Queen Mother Lin. "The son of the clan."

In just a few sentences, he sketched out a young emperor whose wings were gradually becoming fuller, ambitious and trying to get rid of control. If he could kill the person next to him with his own hands, then Mu Chuji might not have given him up voluntarily. The throne.

The so-called brotherhood and brotherhood are most likely an illusion to deceive the world.

"It seems that as you said, the Miluo royal family is not an easy person." Fang Zilan calmed down, "But as long as Mu Churui can maintain peace between the two countries, it doesn't matter how he treats Murong Qing or Prince Zhongzheng. ”

Zhuge Yu said noncommittally: "No matter how forbearing Mu Churui is, he can't hide his ambition. He may not be able to maintain peace between the two countries."

"With the power of the capital, it is not a wise choice to go to war and capture the whole world." Fang Zilan coughed lightly, and Zhuge Yu looked at her with interest, "I didn't expect that you would actually do something like this thought."

"I'm not a stickler." Fang Zilan said with a chill on her face, "Offense is the best defense, that's who I am."

When these words came out of her mouth, they naturally became more convincing. Zhuge Yu remained silent for a while and then said: "The capital is not afraid of war. But long-term peace and stability do not depend on war."

"I understand." Fang Zilan nodded slightly, "However, after the battle between Dajing and Miluo, Mu Churui was unable to send troops in a short time."

Zhuge Yu felt relieved. More than two years had passed since that battle. The time was long or short. Even if it was not enough for Mu Churui to regroup, it was enough for him to keep a low profile and bide his time.

Today, Mu Churui is no longer as eager for quick success as he was when he first ascended the throne, just to gain fame and prestige by sending troops thousands of miles away. Instead, he has grown into a true emperor with a deep palace.

However...it is unclear whether Princess Zhongzheng and Murong Qing's mother and son held Murong Xun hostage and ordered him to send troops. It was not clear whether it was Queen Mother Lin's intention or Mu Churui's original intention. "If it's Miluo..." Fang Zilan paused, "Jiangnan, I can go alone."

"No." Zhuge Yu blurted out without even thinking, "The corruption case is complicated, and there are countless forces involved in it. You alone..."

"A Yu, are you worried about me?" Fang Zilan raised her lips with a half-smile, and Zhuge Yu was speechless for a moment, "I..."

"I am the one who deserves to die, and I will have to pay for my life sooner or later." Fang Zilan's eyes dimmed a little, "If I can do something in the remaining days, this life will not be in vain..."

"Fang Zilan!" Zhuge Yu couldn't help but interrupt Fang Zilan, "Even if you are deeply hit, you can't..."

"What can't you do?" Fang Zilan stopped Zhuge Yu's words, and the smile on his face faded a bit.

"You didn't interfere and saved face for him. That's enough." Awan breathed a long sigh of relief and lowered his voice a little, "I know what kind of person he is. He's not very capable and has a lot of face. He's been beaten by others. Killing is a matter of time..."

She stopped mid-sentence, and after a while she said, "Fortunately, you weren't the one who killed him."

"Does it make any difference whether he died in my hands or someone else's?" Fang Zilan was noncommittal. Awan turned her head away, not daring to look at her, and replied in a low voice: "If he died in your hands, I can't talk to Master. Explain.”

Fang Zilan looked at the person in front of her steadily and said in a deep voice: "Awan, the one you can't explain to is your master or yourself?"

Awan flicked his sleeves and said angrily: "It's not you anyway. Why do you care so much?"

"I can ignore it." Fang Zilan's expression turned cold, "But there are only a few days left for the Fang Family Spring Festival. Awan, I won't allow you to make any mistakes."

Her last words were so serious that even Ming Xiang next to her could not help but feel chills all over her body.

"Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble." Awan looked at Fang Zilan and said word by word: "This time, I don't need your protection."

Fang Zilan raised her hand and frowned slightly, "Awan, this is not the right time to have trouble."

"I'm not making trouble." Awan looked excited and her tone was much higher than usual, "Have you ever thought about it, if it's not Wuhuang who comes this time, but my master..."

"Your master will not act like this..." Fang Zilan interrupted Awan without hesitation, but she stole the topic, "Yes, my master will not act like this, but he also obeys the orders of the young master, and he also has no choice but to do so. Did you forget the bottle of poison you took from my master when we left the capital? That was not my master’s true intention!”

She couldn't stop trembling all over, and her voice was also trembling. Fang Zilan looked at her frightened appearance and felt that her heart was clenched into a ball, full of wrinkles that could not be smoothed out no matter what.
