Don't ask where people go

Chapter 16 Assassination
Hearing the voice, Fang Zilan looked at Li Shengxuan at the railing, but saw him standing up and walking in front of the girl kneeling on the ground, "I will not let irrelevant people die for me casually."

He said and looked at Fang Zilan, "If I really want a woman, I will protect her well and won't let anyone hurt her in the slightest."

His words were so sincere that Fang Zilan couldn't help but lose his mind.

Who did he say this to?

"Emperor?" The girl raised her head timidly and looked at Li Shengxuan in front of her. Li Shengxuan lowered his head and glanced at her, "If I don't care about my own life, neither will others."

"But if it's for the emperor..." The girl wanted to say something, but Fang Zilan next to her saw the opportunity and pulled her up, "Can I not care about anything for the emperor?"

She said with a cold smile, "If you really think so, why not prove it to the emperor."

"What are you going to do?" The girl stared blankly at Fang Zilan in front of her, but she saw that she stuffed a short dagger into her hand, "What are you doing? Even if it is to kill my slave, I will accept it for the sake of the emperor." .”

The girl clenched the dagger as she spoke, but Fang Zilan grabbed her wrist firmly the next moment, "I didn't want your life."

The corner of her mouth curled slightly, "Since you don't care about anything, it's okay to kill for the emperor, right?"

"What did you say?" A trace of panic flashed in the girl's eyes, but Fang Zilan held her wrist and aimed the dagger straight at her chest.

Everyone was overwhelmed by this sudden change, and the girl was trembling all over, "You...why did my slave want to kill you?"

"To prove." Fang Zilan smiled even wider, "Don't you dare?"

"You..." The girl trembled like a sieve, but she still tightly held the dagger in her hand, "If this is the only way to prove..."

The girl's hands trembled violently, but the next moment the short dagger pierced Fang Zilan's chest, and the blood spilled out and stained the skirt of her chest red.

She let go of the girl's wrist, and Li Shengxuan hurriedly supported her shoulder, and lowered her head to check the wound on her body, the wound was not deep.

The girl's face was full of disbelief, and the dagger in her hand fell to the ground.

"Come here!" Xia Houzhang's voice woke everyone up like a thunder, "Someone is assassinating the emperor!"

The guards arrived quickly and took down the five girls without any explanation.

"Put them into the prison." Li Shengxuan looked at the person in front of him coldly, "I will personally interrogate them tomorrow morning."

The girls who were at a loss were taken down by the guards, and there were only three of them left.

Seeing that everyone was leaving, Fang Zilan pushed away Li Shengxuan's hand on her shoulder, "I'm fine, Your Majesty don't need to worry."

"It's up to you whether you have anything to do." Li Shengxuan suddenly grabbed her wrist, and turned to command the imperial doctor Xia Houzhang who was beside him.

"I'm really fine." Fang Zilan wanted to break free from Li Shengxuan's hand, but instead he held it even tighter, "Now you are the one who was stabbed by an assassin for me, so you must be healed by the imperial doctor."

Do you want to do a full set of acting?Fang Zilan was stunned for a moment, but didn't struggle any more, "I really had no choice but to make such a bad move. I hope His Majesty will not blame you."

"Don't blame me? The rest of the matter..." Li Shengxuan didn't finish, Fang Zilan hurriedly continued, "I will take care of it myself."

After receiving her reply, Li Shengxuan didn't say anything, he picked her up and sent her back to the Queen's Fengyi Palace.

Fang Ziqin saw that she was injured and panicked, she was both real and fake, and she didn't bother to think about it, she just wanted to play the role of herself as the wounded one who was stabbed by the assassin.

Afterwards, Xia Houzhang brought the imperial doctor to treat her wound. The wound was not deep, but Li Shengxuan let the story spread all over the court by excuses. Even the Empress Dowager was alarmed, so she came here in person. It is to inquire about news.

But Li Shengxuan was already prepared, and only said that he would investigate a few girls, which had nothing to do with the Empress Dowager.

In a frenzied afternoon, the maids came in and out of Fengyi Palace, very busy.

The party, Fang Zilan, was not only served by others, but also received the honor of being taken care of by the queen herself.But no matter what the outside world does, she doesn't care.The only thing she really cares about is how to deal with the aftermath.

After all, she was responsible for the incident, and those five girls would not just let others condemn them without saying anything.

Fang Zilan managed to stay through the night, but Fang Ziqin was still by her side, not intending to leave.

Fang Zilan lay on the bed tossing and turning, but she didn't think of an excuse to send Fang Ziqin away. Instead, Fang Ziqin asked first, "Miss Xiu is still not feeling well?"

"It's not uncomfortable..." Fang Zilan answered casually, but Fang Ziqin suddenly smiled, "Since it's not uncomfortable, then you might as well do what you want to do, I can still be your witness here."

Fang Zilan's heart tightened, Fang Ziqin had already guessed that she had something to do, she stayed by her side and said she was her witness, for a moment she didn't know whether she should trust Fang Ziqin, so she had to ask one more question, "What is the meaning of this, Empress?"

"Miss Xiu knows in her heart, so there is no need to pretend to be confused with me." Fang Ziqin said with a smile, "If I am embarrassed, I will find someone to keep an eye on you. Why should I stay here alone with you?"

Fang Zilan knew that Fang Ziqin was telling the truth, besides, Fang Ziqin could only rely on Li Shengxuan for her queen status, so she didn't need to embarrass someone who worked for Li Shengxuan.

"In that case, thank you, empress." Fang Zilan, who had thought clearly, no longer concealed it, got up and took the coat beside the bed, and quietly left the queen's bedroom, heading towards the sky prison.

The prison was heavily guarded, but Fang Zilan could not be troubled. After a while, she found the place where the five girls were being held.

The girls who were pretty during the day are now in an indescribable embarrassment.

Seeing this, Fang Zilan shook her head involuntarily, and walked out from the dark place, "It's already late at night, and the five girls are still awake?"

"It's you!" The girl who stabbed her before recognized Fang Zilan first, with a look of resentment, "What are you doing here?"

"Of course it was to save your life." Fang Zilan looked indifferent, "Otherwise what do you think?"

"Save my life? If it wasn't for you, how could I have been locked in?" The girl sneered, "I didn't stab you at all."

"I know, I did it myself." Fang Zilan stretched out her hand as she spoke, holding the dagger in her hand, "But since you have taken something that doesn't belong to you, you will naturally have to pay the price."

"You forced it on me!" The girl retorted hastily, and Fang Zilan was not annoyed, "What you say now is useless."

"Didn't you say you came to rescue us?" Another girl beside her couldn't help but interjected, Fang Zilan heard it even though her voice was low, "I can rescue you out, but it depends on your cooperation."

Hearing that there was a chance to go out, other girls came over and asked in a low voice, "What do you want us to do?"

"Don't believe her!" said the girl before, standing in front of her companion, looking at Fang Zilan viciously through the prison fence.

"You don't want to live, and don't stop others." Fang Zilan raised the corners of her mouth, put away the dagger, and took out a pen and paper from her sleeve, "If you want to live, let her write a confession. gone."

After she finished speaking, her eyes fell on the girl in front of her. Hearing this, the girl suddenly turned her head, "You..."

Seeing the four girls behind her looking at her eagerly, the pleading in her eyes made her soften her tone involuntarily, "You really can't believe her."

"But we don't want to die yet..." A girl said and grabbed her sleeve, "It's just a confession."

"Once I write the confession, isn't it an admission of guilt? How can you get away with it!" She slammed the girl's hand away.

"You did it by yourself, we all saw it with our own eyes." Another girl suddenly said, and she looked at the four girls in front of her in disbelief, "You..."

Fang Zilan looked coldly at the people in the cage, and chuckled, "Did you see it? This is the reality. If your life can be exchanged for their safety, they will kill you without hesitation."

"You!" The girl gave the others a hard look, and when she turned around for a while, her expression was only sad. "Okay, I'll write. But as you said, you will save us."

Fang Zilan handed the pen and paper to the girl, "Everything has nothing to do with the Empress Dowager, it's all your own idea, for personal revenge..."

"I know how to write, don't worry." The girl interrupted her coldly, took the pen and paper, walked to the corner and sat down, and began to write the confession.

The other four girls stood in a group not far away, looking at her for a while, and Fang Zilan who was standing upright with fists in his arms at the door of the prison.

Not long after, the girl stopped writing, took the confession and walked to the door of the prison, and handed the things to Fang Zilan outside. After she took it, she glanced at it and put it in her sleeve.

"You've got the confession, can you save us now?" The girl frowned slightly, her tone was bad, Fang Zilan nodded indifferently, "Of course."

She said, took off the hairpin on her head, unlocked the prison, and walked into the cell.

Seeing Fang Zilan walking in, the five girls were stunned, "I can't just let you out, but I have a way to let you out."

She motioned the five girls to come over, and the girls all moved to her side without doubting him.

Unexpectedly, the moment they approached, a white silk wrapped around their necks silently.

"What are you going to do?" One of the girls just asked, but was strangled by Bai Ling in an instant.

The five girls looked at each other, and they all saw extreme horror and disbelief on each other's faces.No one thought that Fang Zilan would suddenly take their lives.

"I just said it." Fang Zilan looked at the person in front of him indifferently, and gradually increased his strength, "Someone will kill you without hesitation for safety. Even if you go out, the Empress Dowager will not I will let you go."

The expressions on the girls' faces became more and more painful, and even her voice could hardly be heard, "Besides, you all know who the person who stabbed me is, and of course I won't let you tell. The most trustworthy person in the world , only the dead."
