Chapter 163 Confidence

Li Shengxuan raised his head and looked at the man in front of him, whose cheeks were red and his hair was wet with sweat. He looked confused and asked, "Do you feel hot?"

Fang Zilan nodded, and saw him put the medicine bottle back, put his palm on her forehead, and frowned, "You have a fever."

Fang Zilan was slightly stunned, and in disbelief, she covered her hand with it. Before she could test the temperature, she applied ointment all over her forehead.

Seeing this, Li Shengxuan was about to say something when he saw Fang Zilan's hand covering his forehead. The cold ointment on her hand stung him, and he subconsciously grabbed her hand and scolded softly: "Don't make trouble.

.”

"I'm not making a fuss." Fang Zilan curled her lips, with an obvious look of disbelief on her face, "I've touched it, and your Majesty's temperature is the same as mine. I don't have a fever."

Li Shengxuan laughed dumbly. What could she find with the ointment in her hands?

He looked at the little ointment left in her hand and sighed helplessly, "You..."

Before he could say anything, he heard her laugh and said, "Your Majesty, the ointment got on your Majesty's hair."

After she smiled, she seemed to be afraid that he would be annoyed, so she lowered her head and peeked at his expression, looking like a sneaky cat.

Li Shengxuan was not angry but smiled and said: "It's not thanks to you." He said and grabbed her wrist tighter, as if he was afraid that she would suddenly smear it on him again.

"Your Majesty..." Fang Zilan shouted in a low voice, but there was no follow-up.

Li Shengxuan looked down at her steadily, with a gentle expression, "Huh?"

His eyes stopped on her face, causing her to lower her head again in embarrassment, "Why did Your Majesty say that what I did today was like a minister?"

"Except for me, no one in the capital can make the nine princes bow their heads and kneel down." Li Shengxuan paused as he spoke, then took out a brocade handkerchief from the cabinet and gently wiped the ointment on her forehead, "

Not even King Yucheng can do it."

The brocade handkerchief blocked Fang Zilan's sight. In the dimness, she could not clearly see Li Shengxuan's expression, but she could hear what he said more clearly. She heard him say: "Today, you did a good job."

The brocade handkerchief in front of her fell with his words, and the sudden light made her feel much brighter, as if the lamp in her heart had also been lit.

"Your Majesty..." Fang Zilan hesitated and called out to your Majesty but never said anything.

Li Shengxuan did not urge her, but waited patiently for her to continue. It was not until she was silent for a long time that he said lightly: "Close your eyes."

Fang Zilan looked at him blankly, his eyebrows curved into a nice arc, "Be obedient."

She closed her eyes suspiciously, and the familiar touch on her eyelids told her that it was a brocade handkerchief.

"There is also ointment on the eyelashes." Li Shengxuan explained lightly, and said while wiping: "If the medical lady in your house cannot take care of you, I will send an imperial doctor to you."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, Awan is fine." Fang Zilan restlessly took out the hand held by him and snatched the brocade handkerchief from his hand, "I'm very fine and I don't have a fever."

Li Shengxuan looked at her angry expression, raised the corners of his lips, and said with a smile: "Fang Zilan, do you know that drunk people like to say that they are not drunk?"

Hearing this, Fang Zilan was as angry as a little pufferfish. She snorted coldly and said, "I don't know. I just want to know why your Majesty invited me here today."

After going round and round, she finally asked the question in her heart.

Although she was groggy from being roasted by the charcoal fire, she still had some clarity in her mind. All the drama and praise were false. Li Shengxuan would never invite her here for such insignificant things.

Seeing her heavily guarded look holding the brocade handkerchief, Li Shengxuan smiled broadly and said warmly: "I invite you here because I want to tell you that no matter what you do, I will be your source of confidence."

Fang Zilan stared blankly at the person in front of her, filled with disbelief. Did Li Shengxuan actually want to say this?

Seeing that she didn't speak, he asked in a low voice: "You don't believe it?"

"I don't believe it." She answered simply and neatly, "No one can give me confidence except myself."

The expected answer, Li Shengxuan still had a smile on his face, and he asked again: "You don't believe me?"

Fang Zilan remained silent as if acquiescing, and Li Shengxuan asked on his own, "If you don't believe me, why did you ask Zhuge Yu to come to ask for the order that day and ask me to help you ask Wei Subaru for Vice General Cao?"

"It turns out that your Majesty is talking about this." Fang Zilan met his gaze and said calmly: "In fact, it is okay not to ask for your Majesty's imperial edict that day, but it will take some effort. According to the military rules of the capital, as early as in the northern border, Cao Cao

The deputy general is the person under my account. I asked Mr. Zhong Yao to handle all the paperwork. It's just that I didn't say hello to Mr. Wei when I returned to the capital. Of course I can go to Mr. Wei with the documents. If he sees the documents

If you don't let him go, I can still go to court with him. Although the matter of Vice Admiral Cao is due to my lack of consideration in terms of human feelings, I am not unjust."

She paused for a moment as she spoke, and the corners of her mouth were raised with indescribable confidence, "I requested your Majesty's decree that day. Firstly, I wanted to give Mr. Wei face and ask him to retreat in spite of the difficulties. Secondly, Mr. Wei's temper was unpredictable. I

I'm afraid that if we delay for too long, Deputy General Cao will suffer physical pain. After all, at that time, going to the palace to request an order was the fastest solution."

Li Shengxuan couldn't help but ask, "That's it?"

"That's all." Fang Zilan nodded without hesitation, adding a bitterness to Li Shengxuan's smile, "Fang Zilan, you are such a ruthless woman. I have helped you many times, but you can't even tell me a lie.

Don’t want to say.”

Fang Zilan blinked and smiled slyly, "Didn't His Majesty say that you want to hear the truth?"

"That's all, you little vengeful woman." Li Shengxuan smiled and shook his head, but heard her say: "Your Majesty has helped me a lot, and I am willing to serve you at your beck and call. I will repay your Majesty for your kindness."

"I don't want you to repay me." There was a hint of imperceptible arrogance in Li Shengxuan's tone. Fang Zilan keenly caught it but felt confused, and then heard him say: "I want you to keep it in mind."

"What?" Fang Zilan blurted out subconsciously, and Li Shengxuan smiled and flicked her forehead, "Remember, I am your confidence, just move forward."

"Okay." Fang Zilan murmured in agreement, her cheeks feeling hot unconsciously. Could it be that she really had a fever?

"It's getting late, I'll have someone escort you out of the palace." After Li Shengxuan said that, he turned around and walked out of the back room, but Fang Zilan still stayed there motionless.

He turned back to look at her, "Is there anything else?"

"Your Majesty, um..." Fang Zilan hesitated and said, "What about the New Year's social opera?"

Li Shengxuan stopped, looked at her quietly and asked, "Do you still want to go?"

The little social author who was on the Qingyun list and was so happy that he was running around in circles decided to double update for three consecutive days starting from today!
