: Later troubles

"Your Majesty doesn't need trouble." Fang Zilan pulled Li Shengxuan's sleeve, "If Mo Han's death was indeed an accident..."

"How are you staying?" Li Shengxuan held Fang Zilan's wrist and looked at her steadily, "The Xu family is no longer there, and nothing you do is useless."

"Since Lord Xu Youtong was targeted for the corruption case in Jiangnan, I will go for him." Fang Zilan met Li Shengxuan's gaze, "It will never disappoint His Majesty."

"Fang Zilan, what position do you want to replace Xu Youtong?" Li Shengxuan increased his strength, and there was a red mark on Fang Zilan's wrist. "Do you really think you can do anything?"

Fang Zilan broke away from Li Shengxuan's hand and looked a little cold, "I just wanted to pay the price for what I had done, that's all."

"Price?" Li Shengxuan repeated the word, his expression dark and unclear, "You may not be able to bear it."

Fang Zilan pursed her lips and made up her mind to say, "I can't afford it, and I won't let His Majesty bear it alone."

Li Shengxuan's expression stopped, but he left without saying a word.

When Zhuge Yu, who was outside the door, was stunned for a moment when he saw Li Shengxuan, he hurriedly saluted and greeted him, "Your Majesty..."

"Zhuge Yu, go to Jingzhao Yin Mansion and tell Xie Yanping." Li Shengxuan interrupted Zhuge Yu's words without anger, "I want him to settle the case of Xu You and his family's escape within seven days."

It was like a wake-up call, and Zhuge Yu didn't react for a while. It was not until Li Shengxuan's figure gradually drifted away that he quickly walked into the room like a dream.

When Fang Zilan saw Zhuge Yu, she smiled as if she was self-deprecating, "Why, Lord Zhuge is also here to question me about the truth about the Xu Mansion's departure?"

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Yu sighed, "I have been to Prince Yucheng's Mansion and met the prince."

Fang Zilan lowered her eyes, "How is he?"

"You should know the importance of your own actions more than others." Zhuge Yu said quietly: "Fang Zilan, are you crazy?"

He rarely calls Fang Zilan with his name like this. She opened her mouth and the rebuttal finally turned into a mere crying voice, "Die, but Mo Han..."

"You are unwilling to accept it. Are you not the King of Yucheng and the Xu family?" Zhuge Yu frowned slightly, "You know that there is someone to make a plan, and the King of Yucheng and the Xu family are just chess pieces among them, why bother..."

"So what if I know?" Fang Zilan cut off Zhuge Yu's words in anger, "I won't regret it even if there are thousands of times."

"Fang Zilan!" Zhuge Yu clenched his hands into fists, "Do you have to be so extreme?"

"Zhuge Yu, I'll ask you." Fang Zilan blurted out without thinking, "When Zhuge Shan passed away, if you had the ability, wouldn't you kill Wei Mao?"

Zhuge Yu's face turned pale, as if a thorn buried deep in his heart was moved by someone, making his whole heart bloody and painful.

Fang Zilan suddenly realized that she had lost her words, "A Yu, I..."

"Yes, I thought about it." Zhuge Yu spoke very quickly, as if he was uncontrollable, "Do you know? I have had the same dream more than once. In the dream, I killed Wei Mao, with blood all over my hands, but there was no slight pleasure, only endless nothingness."

He paused, took a deep breath, and continued: "Killing Wei Subaru will not solve any problem, but will cause endless troubles. I will not kill him, regardless of whether I have the ability or not."

A strong sense of powerlessness surged in Fang Zilan's heart. Zhuge Yu was right, killing people could not solve the problem. So what if she killed the Xu family? Mo Han would not survive. Instead, the corruption case in Jiangnan was gone without the person to verify it, and there would be endless troubles.

Thinking of this, Mo Han would not forgive her in the underworld...

"Your Majesty just ordered me to tell the prefect of Jingzhao, Lord Xie, that the case of Xu's water flowing within seven days." Zhuge Yu's voice lowered a little, "After this matter, Your Majesty is still covering you."

"Your Majesty is not covering me." Fang Zilan calmed her expression and said softly: "Your Majesty originally issued a secret order to ask Xu You and Lord Jiangnan to investigate the corruption case, but now..."

She hesitated for a moment and continued, "Only by cutting the mess quickly, the next adult who went to Jiangnan to investigate the corruption case can gain the advantage, otherwise he will be led by someone."

"The corruption case in Jiangnan? It's you..." Zhuge Yu changed his voice as soon as he opened his mouth, "The Southeast Government Office has been following him until now. I think you know nothing less than Mr. Xu Youtong."

"I will go to Jiangnan soon." Fang Zilan continued to follow Zhuge Yu's words, "I will go to Jiangnan soon, or later, so I might as well take this opportunity."

Zhuge Yu didn't say anything, but there was a look of inquiry in his eyes. Fang Zilan said bluntly: "At the time, there was a young master Chu Bin in my mansion who went to Jiangnan to check the accounts for me, but I still have no news."

Chu Bin? Zhuge Yu only felt that the name sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember when and where he heard it. "You doubt him..."

Before he could continue, Fang Zilan said, "Yes, I suspect something happened to him. But I have to see people alive and see corpses alive. I will not believe anything before I see them with my own eyes."

Her almost stubborn appearance made Zhuge Yu want to speak, "If you can't find this young master Chu Bin, you..."

"I will keep looking for it." Fang Zilan's tone was confident. Zhuge Yu couldn't bear to say anything more, so he changed the subject, "But now you are the third lady of the Fang family in the Prime Minister's House. How can you show up and go to Jiangnan, let alone investigate the case?"

Fang Zilan was silent for a long time, "Your Majesty may kiss Jiangnan, and I will follow him at that time..."

"What did you say?" Zhuge Yu suddenly raised his tone, and Fang Zilan was busy covering his mouth, "You whisper, what should you do if someone heard it?"

"At present, the matter of Prince Zhongzheng of Miluo returning to the country to visit his relatives has not been decided. If Your Majesty goes to Jiangnan, who will take charge of the overall situation?" Zhuge Yu's voice was anxious. Fang Zilan had never seen him before, so she asked, "But what's going on in Miluo?"

"Not yet." Zhuge Yu shook his head, "But the incident of Prince Zhongzheng returning to the country to visit his relatives has spread in the four realms. The Miluo letter will be presented to His Majesty sooner or later."

"Are you afraid that the tiger will return to the mountain?" Fang Zilan thought about it, and Zhuge Yu did not comment. "The Miluo people are not easy people. It is best to be able to sit in the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but..."

He coughed lightly, "I heard something recently that Empress Miluo and Princess Zhongzheng died of illness not long ago."

Fang Zilan looked shocked. As far as she knew, Queen Miluo had always been healthy and was not a weak and sick person. Princess Zhongzheng Tao Zhiwei, wasn’t she confined to Murong Qing? How could she...

Everyday life that has not yet subsided and has started again and again...
