Don't ask where people go

Chapter 14 The Big Picture
Wu Qing was stunned for a moment, she had never seen Fang Zilan like this before, her expression was so resolute as if she had made the most important decision in her life, her smile looked relieved but also a little bit bitter.

"What are you going to do?" Wu Qing asked subconsciously, but saw that Fang Zilan's face became a little more serious, "Serve people with sex, and love is weak when color fades. If I really become Li Shengxuan's woman, It's impossible to get his heart, it's just a plaything, not to mention he won't marry another woman surnamed Fang."

"I will become Li Shengxuan's indispensable reliance, making him have to give his heart to me. Are you satisfied with this answer?" Fang Zilan asked back like this, but Wu Qing couldn't help laughing, "Fang Zilan, don't you think you are so naive?" , become Li Shengxuan's reliance, do you know how difficult it is?"

"I'm not good at stealing hearts. I'd rather be a sword than someone's woman." Fang Zilan looked at the person in front of her firmly, "You and the young master should both know that it's difficult to be a woman who makes Li Shengxuan fall in love. It's easier to be the sword in his hand."

"You are the sword in the young master's hand." Wu Qing smiled, with a solemn expression, "You know better than anyone else."

"I am the sword in the hands of the young master, but he has already handed me over to someone else." Fang Zilan said indifferently, "I know that once I enter the ghost gate, I will never go back. I will not betray the young master, I only hope that the young master can Let me do it my way."

"Before I came, my son said that this task is related to your wealth and life, and even more related to the life and death of the entire ghost sect, so he can only entrust it to you." Wu Qing's tone relaxed a little, not as cold as before, But it was a little more heavy, "You are the sharpest sword in the hands of the young master, and also the unique sword in the world. The young master will not hand you over to anyone."

"Wu Qing, I will do what I promised. Please rest assured, my lord, but how to do it is my own choice." Fang Zilan's tone was so undeniable that Wu Qing didn't know what to say for a moment, but was just stunned. Looking at her anxiously, "Why do you have to choose the most difficult path every time?"

Fang Zilan was stunned, "Every time?"

Wu Qing smiled wryly, "Isn't it? When you were seven years old, the young master gave you a choice. You chose to become the sharpest sword in the young master's hands. When you were 12 years old, you planted Gu poison for the first time to kill someone. You were so scared to death." But you still haven’t regretted it, you didn’t have to do this.”

So the ancient Fang Zilan chose to be the killer himself?
She thought over Wu Qing's words over and over again, and the intermittent memories in her mind seemed to be threaded through a thread, and the scenes connected together made her laugh out loud, "Wu Qing, I don't have the right to choose at all. "

She smiled but her eye circles turned red, tears dripped down on the brocade quilt, Wu Qing who was beside her didn't speak but left in silence.

In these memories, Fang Zilan remembers her mother telling her that she must guard herself at all times, and until she has the most important person to herself, she must guard two people.

The most important person to her is the son.

When she was seven years old, she and her mother went to the temple to offer incense, but for some reason, someone secretly murdered her, and her mother died on the spot.Just when her life was hanging by a thread, it was the son who rescued her, and she entered the ghost gate for repaying her kindness.

She still remembers the choice of entering the ghost gate at that time, whether to become a killer or a secret agent, it all depends on her.

She chose the killer, but it is impossible for a girl who is born weak to be the best killer.So she planted the poison, and used the power of the poison to become the top killer.

No one knows how painful it is behind her back, but she is willing to do it for the son.

Now that I think about it, the reason why I had to become a killer at the beginning was probably because I wanted to have the power to protect myself and my son.

If you don't have enough strength, you will use all means to get it by hurting others and yourself, but now the young master still handed her over to someone else.

Fang Zilan just finds the indescribable sorrow funny, but she can't escape the fate of the chess pieces at all. It turns out that it is so difficult to stay invincible, let alone have a place of her own.

Now Li Shengxuan is her only straw. From King Xiang to Emperor, he still has a lot to do. Finding opportunities to become his right-hand man is the last way out she can think of.

To go on in this era, all she has left is herself.

"Miss Fang, what are you thinking?" Li Shengxuan's voice reached her ears like this, interrupting her thoughts.

She raised her head and met Li Shengxuan's smiling eyes, "Your Highness..."

Her voice was still a little hoarse, and she wanted to say something but could only call out a title, and the following words pierced her throat with her breath, making her swallow them hard.

Fortunately, Li Shengxuan didn't care, "Miss Fang was so preoccupied with thinking about something just now, that she didn't even notice that I came in?"

As he spoke, he sat on the side of her bed, but frowned when he saw her expression clearly, "Have you ever cried?"

Hearing this, she was stunned for a moment, but she didn't refute. Her current appearance must be terrible.

"Miss Fang?" Li Shengxuan frowned even tighter, "What's wrong with you?"

"The injury hasn't healed, it hurts." Fang Zilan tried hard to suppress her emotions and said lightly, but Li Shengxuan didn't mean to let her go, and asked: "Is it just pain?"

"Your Highness still has a lot of things to do, so don't waste time on me." Fang Zilan's hands hidden under the brocade quilt were tightly clenched into fists. When he got under the brocade quilt, he held her hand, "If it was only because of the injury, you wouldn't be here."

Fang Zilan was stimulated by his sudden offensive behavior, and said coldly: "Your Highness is too stubborn, it hurts when I say it."

An unknown fire gushed out of nowhere, maybe it was just to vent her anger, she threw off King Xiang's hand suddenly, and shrank to the corner of the bed.

Seeing her bad tone, Li Shengxuan was not annoyed, "I just came to tell Miss Fang that you can ask me for the reward you want at any time."

After finishing speaking, he stood up, "Also, Miss Fang's name for me should be changed."

"Your Majesty?" Fang Zilan called out the title uncertainly, Li Shengxuan just nodded with a smile, turned and left.

The overall situation has been decided, Fang Zilan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but this also means that there is no room for change in the task Wu Qing gave her.And every word she said, if you want to come true, you must pay the corresponding price.

Thinking of this, she took out her clenched fist from the brocade quilt, stretched out her fingers, and in the palm of her hand was a small celadon bottle, which was the medicine that Wu Qing had placed beside her just before she left.

It was less than three months since the last time she took the medicine. She still remembered what the old man said at that time. She thought she would rather die than take the medicine that might kill her, but now she must have the corresponding ability to survive. .

Even if it's only a few years, as long as she is here for a day, she has to do her best.

The memory in her mind seemed to be opened because of Wu Qing's words. She planted Gu poison when she was 12 years old. Inner strength cultivation.

However, as she grows up, the Gu poison will also grow with it every year.

As a killer, she will definitely use martial arts, but the more times she uses martial arts, the more damage the poison will do to her body. The young master found someone to refine the medicine and suppress the poison in her body while feeding him. When she planted the poison, he said However, if one day she repents, she can pull out the poison at any time.

But both the young master and she knew very well that if there was no Gu poison, she would be just an ordinary weak woman, self-protection would be a problem, and it would be impossible for her to become the best sword in the world.

She needs strength, and the young master needs an invincible sword, so from the moment she planted the poison, she has no way of turning back, and the only ending may be to be torn dry by the poison until she dies.

Gu poison is domineering, now she has lost her sense of pain, and she will lose more in the future, but if she wants to go on, she will have to pay the price.

Thinking this way, she opened the celadon bottle.

Li Shengxuan entered the Qiankun Palace, and Fang Zilan joined the palace as a high-ranking female official.However, she was seriously injured, and there was nothing she could do for a while. For her, it was just a place to recuperate.

The doctor that Li Shengxuan hired to treat her injuries has now become an imperial doctor, and he is very considerate and considerate in his daily consultations.

After the imperial doctor came to take her pulse that day, a joyful smile appeared on his face, and he exclaimed: "Although the girl's injury has not yet healed, it looks like you're in good spirits, girl, it's really a miracle."

Although the imperial doctor was amazed at how quickly her injury recovered, she knew in her heart that this was not a miracle, it was just the effect of the poison on her body.

"It's all thanks to Mr.'s rejuvenation." Fang Zilan said the first half of the sentence politely, but paused, and then quickly changed the tone of the second half, "But the abnormal condition on my body..."

"Don't worry, girl, this old man will never reveal anything to the emperor." The imperial doctor was also very winking, and made a promise before Fang Zilan finished speaking.

And Fang Zilan smiled slightly: "Of course I believe in sir, but I still need him to know."

She said that the short dagger in her sleeve had already stuck to the imperial doctor's neck, "If you say it, what will happen."

"Girl, spare your life!" The imperial doctor shook like chaff, "Girl's secret will definitely be brought into the coffin."

"Secret?" The smile on Fang Zilan's face became wider, but the doctor's trembling was even more violent, "The old man made a mistake, the girl is in good health, and her injury is about to heal, it is really gratifying..."

The imperial doctor spoke incoherently, Fang Zilan retracted the dagger, and the imperial doctor immediately fell to the ground, gasping for breath.

"Thank you sir." Fang Zilan looked at the distressed people on the ground and didn't stay any longer.

The person Li Shengxuan recruited was indeed capable. Apart from treating her wounds, he also saw the Gu poison on her body, and asked her many cryptic questions on the pretext of treating her wounds.

However, after questioning, the eldest lady has a sense of propriety and is tight-lipped, and she has seen something that has not been clearly stated.

She tried several times but failed, and she was not sure how much he knew, so she simply told him what the consequences would be if he told him.

It's just... Fang Zilan smiled bitterly in her heart, she would actually threaten other people's lives.

If this doctor accidentally said something, I'm afraid...

She didn't dare to think about it anymore, and the hand holding the dagger in her sleeve tightened a bit.

　The overall situation has been decided, can Fang Zilan start his career as he wishes?

　　Fang Zilan: It must be possible!
　　Wu Qing: So far on the road, there is a dilemma, you can do it yourself.
