Don't ask where people go

687 Marriage
"With your words, I'll be your backdoor for the rest of your life, so what's the problem?" Li Shengxuan stretched out her hand and pinned Fang Zilan's messy temple hair behind her ears. She didn't dodge and let him move, "This is what His Majesty said Yes, no regrets."

"Naturally..." The words "Won't regret it" came to his lips, but Li Shengxuan swallowed it, and replaced it with a question, "If I go back on my word, what will you do?"

"If Your Majesty repents, I will hide and I will never see Your Majesty again." Fang Zilan blurted out an answer that she didn't even expect. She thought that according to her cold temper, she would probably say that she would kill Li Shengxuan, but she didn't.

Li Shengxuan looked serious, "Under the whole world, could it be the king's land. Where can you hide?"

"Your Majesty is trying to suppress me with royal power?" Fang Zilan's eyes were a little chilly, and before Li Shengxuan could answer, he said to himself: "If you can't hide, you will be a stranger to Your Majesty."

Li Shengxuan laughed dumbfounded, and subconsciously told the truth, "I don't want to see you again, so I certainly won't regret it."

"I believe in you." Fang Zilan said without hesitation, and the title of Li Shengxuan changed from His Majesty to you.

Li Shengxuan heard clearly, coughed lightly to hide his smile, and said bluntly: "It's just that if you leave the palace for old Mr. Su Heng, there's no need to."

"What does Your Majesty mean?" Fang Zilan showed doubts, and Li Shengxuan explained: "After Mr. Su Heng heard that Duke Yue was beheaded, he took the initiative to hand over the note and agreed to return to Beijing for his reinstatement."

Fang Zilan asked in shock: "Your Majesty is saying that Lord Su Heng is willing to return to Beijing for me?"

"That's right." Li Shengxuan walked to the table, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Fang Zilan, "After Xiahou's family stayed in the old land of Baiyue, King Rong'an couldn't be restrained by the southeast camp. It just so happened that after you took over, you handled several major events one after another, won the hearts and minds of the people, not to mention fighting against King Rong An, officials big and small did not dare to make mistakes, it was considered safe, but the situation is different now."

Fang Zilan took a sip of tea, and said thoughtfully: "It seems that Master Su Heng is not a person who holds grudges, but he always feels that it is not time to leave the mountain."

He paused, "That year, Mrs. Su Che of the Su family was appointed as an official. When he was passing through Fengyu County, he encountered bandits, and the whole family lost their lives. However, the bandits used the gold and silver that was robbed and stained with the blood of the Su family. Caibao bought off the officials of Fengyu County, and even bribed the subordinates of King Rong An through connections, and brought the case to Feilingshan."

Fang Zilan's expression froze, "But I remember that the case of Mrs. Su Che's family being murdered finally came to nothing."

At that time, she returned to the capital from the southeast, and could not forget Su Yuexi's death for a long time, so she took advantage of her position to find the case records of that year. In the back of my mind.

After all, more than one or two people die at the hands of bandits every year. Although there are many cases, most of them are fruitless. Even if the victim is the Su family, it is no different.

"The reason for nothing..." Yin Quanzhang's voice pulled back Fang Zilan's thoughts. He sighed and said, "It's because the Hong brothers and sisters have seen the reality clearly. If they want to really gain a foothold, they can only cooperate with the government. .”

"What do you mean?" Fang Zilan frowned, and almost blurted out: "The Hong brothers and sisters fell into the grass and turned into bandits, so the original reason is..."

She stopped suddenly in the middle of her words, and Yin Quanzhang said: "The Hong brothers and sisters are for the sake of King Yuning, Ji Ningtian, but he is far away in the capital and cannot interfere with the southern officialdom by himself. What's more, this is the original The situation Ji Ningtian wants to see."

He said with a little more sarcasm in his voice, "So what if you become the leader of the bandit? Compared with the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, bandits and bandits, who would not say a mob? Only by being tied to the same boat with the government can we get away with it once and for all."

"So the Hong brothers and sisters compromised?" Fang Zilan's voice was extremely soft, but Yin Quanzhang still heard it. He nodded and said, "Yes, we have to compromise."

Fang Zilan turned her head away, it was an accident that Mrs. Su Che's family was banditted, but they were used by all parties, and they couldn't even punish the murderer...

"I guess Miss Fang's heart must be for Mrs. Su Che's family, but this is not the whole picture of the case." Yin Quanzhang's expression was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "I have met Miss Su Yuexi."

"What did you say..." Fang Zilan turned her head and stared at Yin Quanzhang closely, with obvious shock in her eyes.

"Miss Su Yuexi is tolerant and intelligent, she can stay dormant for many years, and with the help of Xiahou's family, she can return justice to her family." Yin Quanzhang met Shang Zilan's gaze, and his words were astringent, "But even so, she is still kept in the dark For many years, I didn’t know the truth until my death.”

"What is the truth..." Fang Zilan's voice trembled violently. She had more or less guessed it, but she couldn't believe it.

"The killing of Lord Su Che's family was not accidental, but someone deliberately did it." Yin Quanzhang's hands trembled, and the candle in his hand flickered, as if it would be extinguished in the next moment.

"The person behind the scenes is the Su family."

Fang Zilan took two steps back involuntarily. When her back hit the railing, she really felt the dull pain, but it was not as painful as Yin Quanzhang's words.

"I don't believe it, why..." Fang Zilan raised her hand and grabbed the railing tightly, like a drowning person grabbing driftwood.

She didn't go on, Li Shengxuan knew it in his heart, "Although Xu Yi is a bit of a dandy, his father, Xu Youtong, knows how to behave. Mo Han will be fine in Xu's residence, so you can rest assured."

"Since Your Majesty said so, then Mo Han can stay in Xu's residence for now." Fang Zilan's voice was a little lower, and Li Shengxuan raised his eyebrows, "If you are so worried, I will give Xu Yi a palace position. Let him often bring Mo Han into the palace to meet you..."

"Who does Your Majesty think I am?" Fang Zilan's expression turned cold suddenly, "As long as Mo Han is safe and sound, it doesn't matter whether I can see him or not."

"If you really think so, why don't you send Mo Han back to Mushan Pass?" Li Shengxuan asked involuntarily, but Fang Zilan asked instead, "If someone important to His Majesty, would His Majesty be willing to leave him far away, or stay behind?" In front of your eyes?"

"Keep it in front of you." Li Shengxuan looked at Fang Zilan steadfastly, and said word by word: "It's like now, right in front of you."

Fang Zilan took a big sip of tea unnaturally, and coughed several times due to choking, "Speaking of which, whose intention is it that I enter the palace?"

"It's your elder sister's idea, but I'm happy to see it come true, so I'll just go with the flow." Li Shengxuan said with a half-smile, "Why, do you think it's what I meant?"
