Don't ask where people go

"It's good for me to hide in the boudoir, but it's not necessarily true that I can't help the wind." Fang Zilan knew what Fu Congnan was thinking without guessing. In his mind, the third lady Fang and the Qianjinfang Zhen family could not be the same person.

It doesn't matter which is true and which is false, what she has to do now is to delay the time, after A Wan recruits everyone and makes things big, the chance of taking Fang Lihui away will be even greater.

So she simply said: "If I'm really very soft, why did Li Shengxuan ask to marry me? He is a man who wants to be the lord of the world, he can't make a mistake, let alone such a big event as marrying a wife?"

There was a hint of suspicion in Fu Congnan's eyes, and Fang Zilan could see it clearly, adding firewood and fire: "Could it be that General Fu has heard too many rumors, so he thinks that Li Shengxuan is just a young man?"

There were probably as many rumors about Li Shengxuan as Jiang He.The flow of water is endless, and the rumors are endless.

After all, from being far away from the frontiers to becoming the lord of the capital, Li Shengxuan has a lot of mystery, and the past worth digging is not just one or two love affairs.

But as long as the word "love" is touched, Li Shengxuan's rumors cannot escape the word "deep affection".

It was rumored that when Li Shengxuan was young, he proposed marriage to the third lady of the Fang family in the prime minister's mansion. After being rejected, it was hard to accept.

Some people said that Fang Ziqin was skilled in controlling husbands, others said that Fang Chongzheng had a great skill and reached a private deal with Li Shengxuan, and some said that Li Shengxuan cared about his brotherhood with Zhuge Jun, so Fang Ziqin treated him with courtesy...

So in the rumors, apart from Fang's family, the only one that couldn't get around was Zhuge's family——Zhuge Jun.

People who share life and death in the army have some affection, so even Fang Zilan once thought that the third type of rumor was the one that tended to the truth most.

But she forgot that the reason why the rumor is a rumor is because it is false.If the Fang family hadn't retreated to the capital, if she hadn't obtained the list, if she hadn't collected evidence of corruption...

Unfortunately, in this world, there has never been the word "if".

"What do you mean?" Fu Congnan heard his own voice trembling obviously.He was afraid of what kind of truth he would hear from Fang Zilan.

"General Fu, have you ever thought about it?" Fang Zilan hooked her lips, but her voice was extremely indifferent, "The third lady of the Fang family is the same person as the Qianjinfang Zhen family?"

Fang Zilan's eyes showed a trace of inquiry, and Xiahou Yunzhao raised the corners of his mouth and smiled slyly, "Your Majesty is hard to make a decision, so I have to help him make up his mind. After all, Xiahou's family has been sitting in the position of the Ninth Duke for too long, it is time Time to come down."

Fang Zilan smiled slightly and said, "It's only been a few decades since the founding of Dajing, not to mention Xiahou's family, how can General Xiahou talk about a long time?"

"Xiahou's family's original name is Xia, and they are former ministers of Baiyue. I think Mr. Fang has heard all these old stories, so I have nothing to say." Xiahou Yunzhao smiled, and his expression became lighter, "It's just that we foreigners, even if Returning to Dajing is always controversial. Ayu married into the palace wall, and I will not go out of Baiyue's old land for nothing, and I can't stop the rumors."

Fang Zilan spoke out to comfort him, "General Xiahou is so calm and bright, why should he care what other people say?"

Xiahou Yunzhao shook her head, "I don't care, but some people will. Although Ayu was favored in the palace, she was always depressed. She passed away when His Majesty was young. And His Majesty has been living in gossip all these years when he grew up. , Being exiled in the shadow of swords and swords on the battlefield is very hard. There are different opinions on Emperor Tai'an's edict, and the world says that I, Xiahou Yunzhao, threatened Xie Chen and lured him to make it. In fact, he still has a heart for Ayu's mother and son. "

She suddenly paused for a while, sighed softly and said: "It's rare that the emperor wants it, and my Xiahou family is not willing to let it down. No matter what outsiders say these years, as long as I Xiahou Yunzhao is alive, I will stick to it By His Majesty's side, no one will let anyone shake his position. However, now that His Majesty holds the power of the world, and the Xiahou family can stand him, it is time to retire. I also promised Xie Chen that when Your Majesty has something available I will be able to go home with him without worrying about the world without killing him."

Fang Zilan listened quietly, and after a while, she slowly opened her mouth and said: "I have also heard about what happened back then, if Master Xie had not turned against General Xiahou and returned to Dajing, Baiyue would not have been easily destroyed, nor would Concubine Yugui and His Majesty. Falling into the game of chess in Dajing. Dare I ask General Xiahou if he ever regretted it?"

"Baiyue will be destroyed sooner or later. The world is a chess game and everyone is a chess piece. No matter where I am, I can't be alone." Xiahou Yunzhao smiled, "Master Fang understands, doesn't he? In fact, we are all struggling with our fate. people, nothing more than this."

Fang Zilan was stunned for a moment, then blurted out: "Has General Xiahou ever hated Mr. Xie?"

As soon as she said something, she felt that it was inappropriate, but the question was so straightforward, there was no room for change.

"Do you hate it? It seems that Master Fang also misunderstood something." Xia Hou Yunzhao smiled slightly, "But it's okay to tell Master Fang. Xie Chen was far-sighted, and he saw clearly than anyone else that there was no future for Baiyue at that time. Although It is true that defection is not done by a gentleman, but he bears all the infamy just to find a way out for the Xia family and me. I have known him for many years, and he has never hurt me in the wind and rain several times from the beginning to the end. How can I be willing to hate him ?”

Fang Zilan looked at the frank and upright person in front of him, and couldn't help feeling admiration welling up in her heart.

Xiahou Yunzhao's broad-mindedness is her confidence in herself.Perhaps she is also an involuntary pawn in the chess game, but she is not afraid of any storms and can deal with it freely.Such a person should live in the legendary stories in the streets and alleys, and be praised from generation to generation.

"Master Fang?" Xiahou Yunzhao called out and pulled Fang Zilan back from her thoughts, "If you have no doubts, how about walking back with me?"

"Okay." Fang Zilan nodded, and followed Xiahou Yunzhao in silence, only to hear her chuckle and say: "Lord Fang, don't worry about the future is unclear. I believe in His Majesty's vision, and you have to believe in yourself. After all, you are Wouldn’t it be easy for the person who defeated me to take over Xiahou’s family?”

Fang Zilan waved his hands and said: "General Xiahou didn't do his best just now, so my victory is nothing if not a fluke."

"You don't have to be humble. Although I lost, I did my best." Xia Hou Yunzhao smiled a little, and an inexplicable emotion flashed in his eyes, which seemed to be reminiscence and more like nostalgia. In 30, when I was the same age as you, I was used to fighting fiercely, so it's hard to say who will win."
