Don't ask where people go

Chapter 548 Thank You
"Why don't you talk anymore?" The Queen Mother snorted coldly, "But you think what the Ai family said is wrong?"

Fang Zilan took a deep breath, wrote the word forbearance a hundred times in her heart, lowered her eyebrows and said in a sympathetic way: "My daughter knows that she is not worthy..."

"The Queen Mother doesn't have to be so aggressive." Li Shengxuan suddenly interrupted Fang Zilan's unfinished sentence, "Even if I want Fang Zilan to enter the palace, it has nothing to do with others. I respect the Queen Mother, and I ask the Queen Mother to respect herself."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the queens Fang Ziqin and Fang Zilan, then saluted the queen mother, turned and left Yugui Palace.Fang Ziqin also saluted Fang Zilan, and then chased him away.

In Fengyi Palace, all the palace people were stunned when they saw Li Shengxuan coming in a hurry, and then they saw Fang Ziqin and Fang Zilan coming back, and then they reacted and retreated one after another.

There was no one around, Fang Ziqin leaned forward and said: "The concubine still needs to deal with trivial matters in the harem, your majesty please do it yourself." Then he took Qiushui out of the main hall.

Rao Fang Zilan was also startled, Fang Ziqin's behavior, could it be the same as the Queen Mother, using her as a bargaining chip for favor?Or……

"You don't have anything to say to me?" Li Shengxuan's voice brought Fang Zilan back to her thoughts, she pursed her lips, and said softly, "I didn't expect His Majesty to be so impatient."

"Zhen..." Li Shengxuan was at a loss for words, flicked his sleeves, and said: "You are worthy of being the best in the world."

"The best?" Fang Zilan repeated these words and nodded thoughtfully, "I think so too."

"You..." Before Li Shengxuan could say anything, Fang Zilan knelt on his knees, folded his hands in front of his forehead, and kowtowed.

Seeing this, Li Shengxuan clenched his fingers into fists, and his heart tightened suddenly.Fang Zilan was born in the army, and he always knelt on one knee to salute, even when facing him, the emperor of Dajing.Unless it is the time of worship, but now...

"Fang Zilan is grateful to His Majesty for protecting the lives of all the people in my house, but he will never use himself as a reward." Fang Zilan said with her palms up and raised her head above her head. Whatever it is, I will do it for His Majesty."

Li Shengxuan looked down, and in Fang Zilan's palm was a section of plum branch, "This is..."

He didn't continue, Fang Zilan said: "Zixiu's plum branch, the promise of the world's number one killer."

Li Shengxuan's expression was gloomy, he knew what it was the first time he saw Mei Zhi.Although he had said the rhetoric of hiring Zixiu before he ascended the throne, he never regarded Fang Zilan as a sword in his heart, especially after knowing that she was Miss Fang San, he couldn't do it...

"If Your Majesty doesn't want to accept it, then that's all." Fang Zilan gestured to stop, Li Shengxuan said in a deep voice, "Wait a minute."

Fang Zilan's hand stopped in mid-air, Li Shengxuan looked at her steadfastly, "With the plum branch as my faith, I can do whatever I want you to do?"

"Zixiu only sells her life, not herself." Fang Zilan looked back confidently, as if she was not kneeling on the ground, but standing straight, "Your Majesty knows it well, why bother to ask?"

"Okay." Li Shengxuan nodded slightly, and with a flick of his sleeve, the plum branch in Fang Zilan's hand fell into his hands, "Zixiu's plum branch, I accept it."

Hearing this, Fang Zilan curled her lips, and a stone in her chest fell to the ground.She never likes to owe favors, let alone such a big man who saved her life and preserved the Yue State Duke's family.

In the eyes of powerful families, plum branches may be insignificant, but in the eyes of Jianghu people, plum branches are just a talisman, which can save or save lives, something that cannot be obtained even if one flocks to it.

Right now she can't do much in the court, but the affairs of the world can be sorted out to some extent.

Of course Li Shengxuan knew what Mei Zhi meant in the Jianghu, if he ordered Fang Zilan to eradicate the Jianghu forces of the ghost gate and kill the King of Hades...

However, as soon as this idea popped up, he pushed it back.Even though Fang Zilan is number one in the world, she is still alone. It is too risky for her to fight against the ghost gate and even the whole world.

It is a matter of time before the ghost gate is eradicated, and he has the patience to figure it out slowly.That being the case, why should Fang Zilan go all out?Compared to these, he hopes to see her live a carefree life.

"What is Your Majesty thinking?" Seeing that Li Shengxuan didn't respond, Fang Zilan stood up on her own, with a more inquiring expression.

She originally thought that even if Li Shengxuan was not happy when he received the plum branch, he would not be hesitant, but the current situation was something she had never expected.

"It's nothing." Li Shengxuan looked at the plum branch carefully over and over again, and said with a smile, "I just think this plum branch is too plain, and it's a bit crude as a thank you gift."

"If your Majesty dislikes it, you might as well return it to me." Fang Zilan spread her hands, as if begging for it.

With a smile on his face, Li Shengxuan seemed to want to return the plum branch to her, but at the moment the plum branch was about to fall back into her hand, he made a feint, and finally held the plum branch tightly in his hand, "No matter how simple it is, I gave it away. Is there any reason to take back something?"

"Your Majesty is really..." Fang Zilan pretended to be angry, and dragged her voice: "I don't know the goods."

"Is this your truth?" Li Shengxuan's words were teasing, and Fang Zilan also asked half-truthfully, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"It doesn't matter if you are sincere or not." Li Shengxuan took Mei Zhi into his arms solemnly, "From now on, I will treat you with sincerity."

He changed his name, Fang Zilan opened his mouth, but before he could make a sound, he bowed to himself and said: "You don't have to take what the queen mother said to you. I will deal with the rumors outside. You just need to rest assured." Stay in the palace and take good care of your body."

"Your Majesty doesn't have to be like this, I can't bear it." Fang Zilan replied: "The state affairs are heavy, so I won't bother Your Majesty with my affairs."

Li Shengxuan said quietly: "Fang Zilan, I know you are not someone who can be trapped by a courtyard wall or a palace city. I just hope that I can protect you as much as possible. One day, if you want to leave, just let me know. I won't." I force you to stay."

"Then..." Fang Zilan hesitated for a moment, then said directly: "I will leave the palace tomorrow, can Your Majesty agree?"

Li Shengxuan was stunned, "What did you say, tomorrow?"

"Your Majesty refuses?" Fang Zilan looked serious, Li Shengxuan lowered his eyes and fell silent for a moment, "Tomorrow, Xia Houzhang will send you out of the palace."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Seeing Li Shengxuan's expression darkened, Fang Zilan couldn't help explaining: "I want to invite Mr. Su Heng back to the capital. With his old man here, all the officials have some scruples, and the court will be safer."

However, Li Shengxuan was indifferent, and Fang Zilan continued to add: "It's another gift of thanks. Didn't Your Majesty think my plum branches were crude? I'm going to find another best gift of thanks. Is Your Majesty still satisfied?"

　Fang Zilan: My thanks are always sincere
