Chapter 423 Complete
Chapter 423: Complete
The news that the Duke of Yue Fang Zilan stayed in Hualou for days and nights spread throughout the capital. On the one hand, the old madam in Hualou brought her token to ask for the account, and on the other hand, the Duke of Yue wanted to say that he was still resting. In short, in the jokes that were all over the capital, the protagonists were Fang Zilan.
Everyone criticized and praised it. Some said that Fang Zilan was a woman and had no moral character. Some said that Fang Zilan's power and status today would not need to be criticized even if she married ten or eight young husbands and went home.
However, the person involved, Fang Zilan, was still having fun in the flower building, and did not care about the outside world at all. She could not hold on, but the two empresses in the palace could no longer sit still.
The news that Prince Yucheng's Mansion was going to marry the Duke of Yue's Mansion had already been circulating. Now Fang Zilan lingers in the Flower Building, and he simply puts Li Qiyou's face on the ground. This way of refusing to marry is unique and is the first to be a big shot.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that if Li Qiyou insists on marrying Fang Zilan, it will be the green grassland above his head. From now on, it will be difficult to raise his head and can only let others laugh at him behind his back.
Li Qiyou also knew it very well, so he found Fang Zilan in the Huajie Liuxiang, regardless of everyone's obstruction.
With Fang Zilan's ears and eyes, she knew that someone was coming, not to mention that she could hear someone shouting from the prince. The corners of her lips curled up. Since the fish had taken the bait, she didn't mind doing the trick more seriously.
So she stood up from the table, reached out to grab a young man, quickly pulled away his clothes, and pushed them to fall on the bed.
When Li Qiyou pushed the door open, he saw this scene. The two of them were not well-dressed and couldn't see clearly under the curtains of the bed. However, he heard the sound of the young man like a mosquito and shouted embarrassingly, "Mr. Fang".
"Master Fang!" Li Qiyou's voice was full of forbearing anger. Fang Zilan didn't care much about him, but looked at the red boy in front of her.
She just took someone over and didn't notice that she was lying on the table and taking a nap. The child's face was extremely thin and he wanted to hide in the quilt at this time.
As he wished, she pulled the brocade beside her and covered him, then tidied up her clothes on her own, raised her hand and opened the curtain, looked disturbed, and frowned slightly, "Prince, what are you doing here?"
Li Qiyou saw through the curtain and saw clearly a mess inside. In addition, the person who was looking at him was obviously a half-grown child, so he was even more angry, "Master Fang, you..."
"What?" Fang Zilan chuckled, with a hint of charm in her eyes. "I think with the prince's education, I can't scold you even if you are not angry. Maybe I'll scold you for being a beast or a bastard..."
"Fang Zilan!" Li Qiyou called her like this for the first time, but she had no intention of being angry, but instead she felt indescribable sorrow.
Fang Zilan almost thought that she had read it wrong, and the next moment she sighed and told her that she had read it wrong, let alone heard it wrong.
Li Qiyou's eyes were red, "Fang Zilan, would you rather be degenerate than marry me?"
"I'm willing to fall into depravity?" Fang Zilan closed her clothes, stood up and looked at Li Qiyou and said, "That's how the prince looks at me?"
"I..." Li Qiyou opened his mouth but did not make any sound.
Fang Zilan curled her lips, leaned into Li Qiyou's ear, and whispered: "Since those who are in high positions are destined to be in control, what's the point of me having some fun? Does the prince think I would be the kind of person who is trapped in the deep courtyard and sitting in the mirror and looking at the old man in the mirror?"
The warm breath swept through Li Qiyou's ears. He felt his throat dry, his heartbeat began to be wild, and the blood in his body seemed to explode. The next moment, he suddenly grabbed Fang Zilan's arm and used all his strength to suppress the urge to hug her immediately.
"You know I didn't mean that." His voice was a little flustered, and there was a hint of expectation under the confident expression in his eyes.
Fang Zilan couldn't see it, but she knew what roles the royal family was. Even though she had deep feelings at this moment, she could turn against her face ruthlessly. In this game, she just wanted to keep herself safe, rather than accompanying Li Qiyou to bet on the world again.
"What does the prince mean?" Fang Zilan did not push Li Qiyou away, and her smile became even stronger. "I prefer to be apart from the capital. Even so, can the prince help me?"
Li Qiyou's pupils suddenly tightened, and before he could answer, she seemed to be excited and said, "If the prince is willing to fulfill his wish, I can't do Princess Yucheng."
"Fang Zilan, do you know what you are talking about?" Li Qiyou said word by word, with a bit of gritting teeth.
"Isn't it just the Tiger Talisman's Military Power?" Fang Zilan's smile did not diminish, but her eyes became colder. "Why is the prince afraid of being like this?"
"I can't agree to you, that's what I can do today..." Li Qiyou suddenly stopped halfway and looked at her in disbelief, "You, can you..."
Fang Zilan raised her eyebrows, with a little more ridiculous expression, "Your Majesty doesn't need to guess randomly. The tiger talisman was indeed in my hands. Your Majesty gave it to me, and I returned it to Your Majesty."
Upon hearing this, Li Qiyou breathed a sigh of relief and finally reacted - what Fang Zilan said was all about temptation. She did not want to use the symbol of military power in the world as a tentative example of the tiger talisman, nor did she want him to seek power and seize the throne. He gave a negative answer from the beginning.
At this moment, he truly saw his heart. What he liked was Fang Zilan, the female general who was heroic and not inferior to a man on the battlefield, rather than Fang Zilan, who was in front of him.
She didn't care about anything, had innocent reputation, and even the power of tiger talismans and military power. She had everything, but she could throw it away overnight, but he chased her until her face was ferocious.
She fascinated him, but she also made him unable to give it all, let alone be full of trust. However, he just wanted to rely on his noble status and try to rob. In the end, he lost completely, probably even the little bit of love they had before disappeared.
"I understand." Li Qiyou slowly let go of his hand, as if he had been exhausted. "I will deal with the follow-up matters. Fang Zilan, you are free."
Fang Zilan adjusted her sleeves and said with a tribute: "Thank you, Prince."
Li Qiyou closed his eyes gently, and when he opened his eyes again, he regained his usual graceful demeanor, "Mr. Fang, don't be polite. You are the minister of my humerus in the Great Capital, and you should not be troubled by this. This is because I am not thinking well, so please don't blame me."
"I don't dare." Fang Zilan stood up straight and watched Li Qiyou say goodbye and leave, but did not move for a long time.
Ah Shi poked his head out of the quilt and said carefully: "Mr. Fang, I think he is sincere."
Fang Zilan still didn't look away and said with a loss of grief: "It's a pity that I'm not sincere anymore."
For some reason, she would threaten Li Qiyou with the power of the tiger talisman and military power. Even though she knew what the answer was, she insisted on asking this question more.
In fact, when she said these words, she was thinking about the white jade tiger talisman handed to her by Li Shengxuan.
Li Shengxuan never asked her to promise anything, so he handed over the white jade tiger talisman to her. The white jade tiger talisman, which was stained with his body temperature, was unexpectedly stable when he placed it in the palm of her palm.
But later, she felt guilty and could only return the security with her own hands.
Li Qiyou let go, how will the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager react? Let's listen to the next breakdown~
