Don't ask where people go

Chapter 500
Fang Zilan lowered her eyes and said, "What does Your Majesty want to know?"

"I would like to know, why did you help Second Miss Fang?" Li Shengxuan looked at the person in front of him firmly, "You did not hesitate to surround Pei's mansion and even broke into Pei's house by yourself to bring her out. Is it for the favor of the Prime Minister's mansion? , or the law revised by Mo Han?
He asked bluntly, Fang Zilan was taken aback for a moment, then hooked his lips and said: "It turns out that His Majesty came here for this matter. Didn't Lord Zhuge tell His Majesty?"

She paused as she spoke, and there was a little bit of sternness in her eyes, "I just don't want to watch the fire from the other side. As for what other people think and what my purpose is, it's their business and has nothing to do with me."

Li Shengxuan could hear her displeasure, so he didn't ask any more questions, but said in a gentle voice: "Your temper, I'm afraid you will suffer a lot sooner or later."

"So what if I suffer a loss?" Fang Zilan smiled even wider, but there was no smile in his eyes, "Isn't His Majesty supporting me?"

Hearing this, Li Shengxuan laughed lightly, "Okay, I will support you."

Fang Zilan looked at Li Shengxuan carefully, as if to see something from his expression, but apart from the truth, he couldn't see anything else.

She was silent for a while, then changed her voice, and said in a low voice: "I heard that the empress dowager is leaving Beijing."

Li Shengxuan smiled and hummed, "After the Lantern Festival, the Empress Dowager will take Pei Xuanchang to live in the palace outside Beijing."

After the Lantern Festival?Fang Zilan was stunned, so fast, the first month has not even come out, it seems that there should be very few people going to Yuzhang Palace this year to pay their respects.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Li Shengxuan couldn't help asking: "What are you thinking?"

"It's nothing." Fang Zilan's expression was gloomy, "I just think that Pei Xuanchang is still young and not the best candidate to succeed the Patriarch."

"That's true." Li Shengxuan said lightly, "But Pei Xiaoze is an embarrassing person, let alone compared to him, I would rather trust the Empress Dowager."

"Believe it?" Fang Zilan repeated the word, Li Shengxuan slightly nodded and said: "King Yucheng grew up under the Empress Dowager's knee."

Fang Zilan immediately understood that Li Shengxuan's so-called belief was actually her belief in the Empress Dowager's ability to educate children. After all, if she could raise Li Qiyou, she would be able to take care of Pei Xuanchang.

Thinking of this, she smiled, "Your Majesty really knows people well."

Li Shengxuan also frowned, and said with a smile: "Since you have said so, when will Mo Han take up the post in the Ministry of Punishment?"

Fang Zilan suddenly turned cold, "What did your majesty say?"

"I am very satisfied with the new law revised by Mo Han, and it will be officially implemented in the next year." Li Shengxuan said seriously: "Mo Han is the most suitable person to implement it."

"Although Mo Han is talented, he is only worthy of being a guest." Fang Zilan said coldly, "He doesn't have the ability to implement the new law now, and he won't have it in the future."

"This statement is too absolute." Li Shengxuan said in a solemn voice: "The so-called ability is originally honed and honed, not born with it. Even you are not born to be the Duke of Yue."

"Since I have assumed the post of Duke of Yue, I will not live up to my name." Fang Zilan's face sank like water, "But Mohan is different."

Li Shengxuan frowned and said, "What's the difference between Mo Han? I can also grant him an official position..."

"Your Majesty!" Fang Zilan abruptly interrupted him, took a deep breath and said, "It's so difficult to implement the new law. Not only do you have to weigh the pros and cons to appease all parties, but you also have to make decisive decisions. I..."

She paused, bit her lips and said, "I can risk everything, but only Mo Han..."

"You want to implement the new law instead of Mo Han?" Li Shengxuan cut off her words, frowning even tighter.

Fang Zilan didn't hesitate, "If Your Majesty has the will, I will die." After she finished speaking, she saluted respectfully.

Li Shengxuan completely understood that Fang Zilan could risk her own life, or the lives of others, but only Mo Han could not.

"You..." Li Shengxuan gritted his teeth, Fang Zilan was neither humble nor overbearing, "This is my selfishness, I hope Your Majesty will understand."

"What a selfishness." Li Shengxuan snorted coldly, "Fang Zilan, have you ever thought that even if I don't care, others will plot against you. If you can protect Mo Han for a while, can you protect him forever?"

"Whether I can protect it or not, it's all my business." Fang Zilan remained motionless in the salute posture, "I won't bother Your Majesty."

"Fang Zilan, why are you..." Li Shengxuan couldn't help but flicked his sleeves, and didn't say any more.

Fang Zilan pursed her lips, and wanted to say something to ease it up, but Li Shengxuan grabbed his arm and brought him in front of him, "Your Majesty..."

"Fang Zilan, if you want to protect Mo Han, do so." Li Shengxuan sighed, "I will choose someone else for implementing the new law."

"Thank you, Your Majesty..." Fang Zilan wanted to break free, but Li Shengxuan grabbed him even tighter, "I said before, I am willing to share with you. No matter what you want to do, I will support you."

He changed his name, and his words were sincere and earnest. Fang Zilan was in a daze, "You..."

She turned her head away, not daring to look directly at Li Shengxuan, "Your Majesty doesn't have to treat me like this, it's not worth it." After she finished speaking, she resolutely shook off Li Shengxuan's hand, and took a step back.

"Whether it's worth it or not is my business." Li Shengxuan stepped forward, "Fang Zilan, are you really going to push me away?"

Fang Zilan opened his mouth, but didn't make any sound. Seeing this, Li Shengxuan suddenly smiled, "That's fine, at least in your heart, I have weight."

"What?" Fang Zilan looked surprised, Li Shengxuan coughed lightly and said, "Before the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet, you sent all the people in the mansion away, just because the situation is unclear, you are afraid that they will be implicated, right?"

Fang Zilan's expression froze, "How do you know..."

"But they still came back." Li Shengxuan said seriously: "They didn't avoid it, and neither will I."

For some reason, Fang Zilan felt like hiding when she looked at the people who were close at hand.She took a step back subconsciously, her heels stepped on the edge of the colonnade, but the back of her head did not hit, but leaned against Li Shengxuan's palm.

"Be careful!" Li Shengxuan stretched out her hand to cover Fang Zilan's head, she couldn't help but clenched her fingers tightly, "Your Majesty..."

"I know that you are related to the previous dynasty, and I also know that you have deep entanglements with the ghost gate." Li Shengxuan continued, "I admit that I care, but what I care more about is when you are willing to tell me."

It was the first time that he had said everything he knew so bluntly.It is not as complicated as imagined, but it is indescribably easy.

Yueyu had never met Fang Zilan before, and he kept thinking that if he met, he would talk about everything and never hide anything from now on, how great it would be.But after thinking about it again and again, I felt that it was not right.

It wasn't until he saw her evasion that he finally made up his mind.The days without seeing her were much more difficult than he thought, even though there were always people around to inform him, he still couldn't stop wanting to see her.

It's like thousands of colorful butterflies living in the chest, ready to come out.

Fang Zilan's lips moved, her voice was astringent, "So, you know everything."

　Chapter 500, the emperor who finally said that he cares, and the minister with a heavy burden who is still wooden, probably still have a long way to go...
