Chapter 499 Rumor

In the blink of an eye, it was the day before New Year's Eve. In the early morning, Fang Zilan had breakfast and sat in the corridor to see the people in the mansion busy, hanging lanterns and pasting window flowers, which was very lively.

The sky was dark, and the fine snowflakes were floating all night. A thin white velvet blanket was laid on the ground. Fang Zilan raised her foot and stepped on it, leaving a shallow footprint.

Awan came with medicine and saw Fang Zilan's bored look, and couldn't help but say helplessly: "If you want me, you might as well go to the palace to pay tribute and prepare for the year-end festival or something, and you have some things to do. Otherwise, you will be so lazy that you will be depressed."

"What's the point of being idle?" Fang Zilan took the medicine in Awan's hand casually, "It's rare to be purified."

She said it in a daze, and Awan sneered, "Qingjing? You don't know that it's all over the capital..."

"What's the matter?" Fang Zilan picked up the medicine bowl and drank it all. Then she glanced at her and covered her mouth and was silent as if A Wan was silent. She couldn't help but feel curious.

"It's nothing." Awan waved his hand quickly, and Fang Zilan said thoughtfully: "I haven't seen Miss Xiao in recent days..."

"Sister Xiao's sister is sick in Wanhua Building, and she goes to take care of her." Awan quickly stopped Fang Zilan's words, which made her feel quite funny, and shouted "Awan" regardless of slightness or seriousness.

Hearing the sound, Ah-like ball seemed to be deflated, and said angrily: "Don't say I told you."

Fang Zilan nodded in cooperation, and Awan came to her and whispered: "I heard that people in the capital have recently said that you are a disaster star."

"Me?" Fang Zilan pointed at herself with her fingers. Awan nodded and muttered: "I'm talking nonsense that has no basis, but it's still uneasy if there are too many people."

Fang Zilan finally understood and asked directly: "Why is it said that I am a disaster star?"

"Because since you appeared, the Shangguan family first became the Xiahou family, either destroyed or retired." Awan said while beating his fingers, "There is still the Fang family, the original head Fang Liren disappeared, and the playboy Fang Lihui was replaced. Now the Pei family and the Ouyang family are in a row and are unsustainable."

Fang Zilan nodded and said, "It sounds like a bit of a fallacy."

Awan was angry and said, "It's not stopping yet. It's said that as a woman, you are in the position of a minister, which will lead to the surrounding area eyeing and wars in the four realms."

Fang Zilan laughed out loud, "Are the rumors nowadays like this? It used to be said that women who are fascinating the country and the people are the disaster. When can Yasha Shura like me be able to harm the country and the people?"

Awan heard the jokes in her words clearly, but she was still indignant, "Why do you think they still have two faces? During the war, you were the general who was invincible in the protection of the country and the people. Now in the peaceful and prosperous era, you have only gotten involved in one or two small matters of sesame and green beans. How could it be a disaster? "

"A small thing?" Fang Zilan seemed to smile, and Awan frowned and said, "Isn't it? Whether it is to rescue Miss Fang Er or to help Miss Ouyang, it is a righteous act..."

She said suddenly and stopped, as if she suddenly reacted, and opened her eyes wide, "Would you be doing it intentionally?"

Fang Zilan smiled, said nothing, but just handed the medicine bowl back to Awan.

Awan wanted to ask something more, but saw a servant running over in a panic and tremblingly said, "Mr. Fang, Your Majesty... Your Majesty is here in our mansion..."

Even Fang Zilan was stunned when she heard this, "Your Majesty, what are he here to do?"

"I don't know." The servant shook his head like a rattle, "Your Majesty..."

"Okay, you go back." Fang Zilan stood up and looked at the person who was walking in front of him not far away. It was Li Shengxuan.

In order to avoid people's eyes, Li Shengxuan was wearing low-key casual clothes. Xiahou Zhang, who was following him, was also wearing simple clothes. The two of them were inconspicuous in the bustling crowd.

However, Fang Zilan's gaze fell on Li Shengxuan, but she could not move away for a long time. For some reason, she always felt that the figure in black clothes and cloak in front of her was inexplicably familiar.

It seems that they had known each other many years ago.

Awan and the servant bowed to Li Shengxuan from afar, then turned around and left, leaving only Fang Zilan, staring at the people from far away and near, without any movement for a while.

When Li Shengxuan saw Fang Zilan, he seemed to be relieved, and even didn't care at all that she was staying there and forgot to salute. He said warmly: "I heard that you had been on leave for a few days and thought you were sick..."

He paused and finally said, "It's okay."

The two words "light like feathers" made Fang Zilan feel a strange feeling, both unexpected and soft. She never thought that Li Shengxuan would actually miss her.

"I... is fine." Fang Zilan opened her mouth with some hesitation. Many thoughts flashed through her mind, but none of them could explain why Li Shengxuan appeared here.

The atmosphere was subtle for a moment, and Xiahou Zhang stepped down tactfully. Li Shengxuan looked at Fang Zilan calmly, without digging into the bottom line or explaining the purpose of the visit, and the two fell silent.

"you……"

"His Majesty……"

Suddenly, the two of them spoke at the same time, but stopped at the same time. After looking at each other and smiling, Li Shengxuan said first: "I want to see you."

He said it bluntly, Fang Zilan was stunned and blurted out, saying, "The day before New Year's Eve, Your Majesty should prepare for the year-end festival..." As soon as she said that, she stopped, as if she was out of control.

Seeing that she wanted to speak but stopped, Li Shengxuan curled the corners of his lips and asked with a smile: "What?"

"Nothing." Fang Zilan pursed her lips, "What did Your Majesty want to say just now?"

"This is the fourth year of my ascension. Except for the first year you guarded the northern border, I can see you every New Year's Eve after that." Li Shengxuan said seriously: "I don't want exceptions."

Fang Zilan looked at Li Shengxuan incredibly, unable to tell whether he was not awake or that he had taken the wrong medicine. But his eyes were calm and eager, which made her unable to avoid it.

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Your Majesty." Before Fang Zilan finished speaking, she heard Li Shengxuan say, "So, I'm here."

Fang Zilan's expression stagnated. Although she felt that Li Shengxuan's attitude towards her was ambiguous since the Shangyuan Lantern Festival about a year ago, she felt that Li Shengxuan's attitude towards her was more sincere than buying people's hearts, but she was less greedy than her children's love.

She pretended to be deaf and dumb, but Li Shengxuan was getting more and more arrogant. Now, if she pretended to be confused, it would probably not work. So she simply asked, "What does your majesty mean?"

Li Shengxuan did not answer her question and changed his voice: "There are many rumors in the capital, and I will deal with it myself, so you don't have to worry."

"What rumor?" Fang Zilan pretended not to know and asked afterwards.

"It's okay if you don't know." Li Shengxuan's expression was calm, but a little chilled in his eyes. "It's just a ignorant and stupid opinion."

Fang Zilan refused to comment, but heard Li Shengxuan say, "But I'm here today, I really have something to ask you."

The daily flirting between Fang Zilan and Li Shengxuan is about testing and exploiting each other...
