Don't ask where people go

Chapter 36 Returning to Beijing
Seeing Shangguan Min's face turned pale, Shangguan Jing couldn't help shouting: "Min'er, don't listen to her nonsense!"

"The fact is so, the evidence is conclusive, and General Shangguan still denies it?" Fang Zilan smiled coldly, "Your Highness, General Huangfu, and Young Master Zhuge, what do you think?"

"This..." Li Qiyou hesitated, unable to speak for a while.

Huangfulin scratched his head, looking quite embarrassed, "Brother Shangguan has been stationed in the northern border for these years, and he has never made a mistake. Thanks to his care, our Huangfu family is able to have the light it is today."

He sighed as he spoke, and his voice suddenly changed, "But if this matter is true and the country's safety is at stake, I, Huang Fulin, will not argue for Brother Shangguan, and I hope Brother Shangguan will forgive me."

"Whether it's true or not, we can't tell the difference." Zhuge Yu said lightly, "This is a big matter, and it's safest to hand it over to His Majesty for adjudication after returning to Beijing. What does General Fang think?"

"Mr. Zhuge's words are reasonable, I was the one to be abrupt." Fang Zilan put away his sword after finishing speaking, and looked at the blue-faced Shangguan Jing, "I'm afraid General Lao Shangguan will return to Beijing with us."

"This matter should be done sooner rather than later. General Fang, we must leave as soon as possible." Zhuge Yu looked at Fang Zilan, of course she knew what Zhuge Yu meant.

Ye Changmengduo, no one wants to have side effects, Shangguan's family is a dignified northern family, before this matter is settled, once it gets out, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"I'll make arrangements now and leave early tomorrow morning." Fang Zilan nodded, turned around and saluted Huangfulin with fists in her hands, "This matter is of great importance. The prince, Mr. Zhuge and I must bring General Shangguan back to the capital together. Please trouble General Huangfu." Immediately use the falcon to send a letter to His Majesty to ask for orders. The war in the northern border has been settled, and the Gilded City has been destroyed. I will send a deputy general to deal with follow-up matters such as inventory and compensation. As for the Shangguan family, I have to ask General Huangfu to help..."

Fang Zilan didn't continue, but Huangfulin was so shrewd, he clasped his fists and bowed back, "General Fang, just leave it to me."

Zhuge Yu didn't speak at the side, but she said in her heart that Fang Zilan's set was pretty good, and that the big officials in the frontier were not allowed to enter the capital without an order. She first asked Huang Fulin to ask for an order, but she was also afraid that Huang Fulin would intervene in military affairs and her lieutenant general would be the last one. She also expected that her lieutenant general would not be able to hold back because of the greatness of the Shangguan family, so he threw it back to Huangfulin. Just now, Huangfulin said that he would not slap himself in the face and refuse her. This time, Huangfulin I'm afraid it's all exhausting and thankless things to do.

"General Fang..." Shangguan Min murmured, but he didn't know what to say. Hearing his voice, several people looked over in unison.

Shangguan Jing was the first to react, "Min'er, I will go to Beijing with them, right and wrong will be decided by His Majesty, don't run around while you stay in the north!"

"Uncle Jing, I..." Shangguan Min hesitated to speak, and finally stomped his feet, turned around and ran out, causing Shangguan Jing to shake his head involuntarily, feeling more and more flustered.

Min'er is still such a child at heart, this time he is only afraid that the whole Shangguan family will be involved when he comes to Beijing this time, and there will be only Shangguan Min left in the Shangguan family, so how can they survive?
After Fang Zilan finished talking with Huangfulin, he called the deputy general to explain something, and then ordered the army to return to the court tomorrow.

The schedule was rushed, and she didn't explain too much. First, she was afraid of leaking the news and arousing the vigilance of the Shangguan family. After all, they were still in the northern border and could not confront the Shangguan family head-on.

On the other hand, I was also worried that most of the army was from the Shangguan Jingjiu Department. If the matter was spread out in front of everyone, it was hard to guarantee that these people would not make something happen.Now she is only looking forward to returning to the capital as soon as possible, and she will feel at ease sooner.

"General Fang." Li Qiyou didn't know when he returned to the big tent. Fang Zilan was so busy that he just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard his voice and asked him what was going on.

"Your injury..." "It's not a problem anymore." She replied lightly, but Li Qiyou didn't want to let go, "I just asked the military doctor, General Fang doesn't need to prevaricate this king."

"I know my body well." She smiled slightly, "If your lord is free, why not do me a favor and think about how to intercede for me in front of the empress dowager after returning to Beijing."

"You!" Li Qiyou was choked back by Fang Zilan's words. He couldn't say that his grandmother would never pursue it, after all, it was impossible, and he couldn't say that he would settle it for her. After all, he had seen his grandmother's methods. Even if he agrees to him on the face, I'm afraid it won't make her feel better in private.

Seeing him frozen in place, Fang Zilan couldn't help sighing, "I said, you don't have to take it so seriously, my lord, I was joking with you." After she said that, she didn't want to stay longer, and walked out of the big tent.

Sometimes she couldn't understand, how could a prince like Yucheng Wang Li Qiyou take everything so seriously?Like a simple alien in a wolf's den that eats people but doesn't spit out bones, it is estimated that it will suffer a lot in the future...

Fang Zilan shook her head. She has not settled her own affairs now, so she really has no time to worry about other people's affairs.I don't know how much Zhuge Yu believed her words, and I don't know how suspicious Li Shengxuan is about the Shangguan family. Is her move enough to make Li Shengxuan move the Shangguan family?

Li Shengxuan has always been on guard against her, even though Ji Ningtian told her that the Northern Territory cannot be without a handsome man for a day, after the downfall of the Shangguan family, Li Shengxuan will definitely find someone to replace her, but will he really find her?

On the way back to Beijing, Fang Zilan was full of thoughts. Although she pretended not to care, the people who walked with her were all good at observing words and emotions. Everyone could see that she was dull, but they were also the same.

Everyone has their own ghosts, and they only wait until a big drama in the capital kicks off. It is unknown who will appear on the stage and who will sing romantically, and will eventually add a touch of color to the seemingly calm and windless capital.

It's just that no matter whether this scene is amazing or dull, everyone has no way out.

The closer she was to the capital, the more uneasy Fang Zilan became. For some reason, she suddenly remembered a fairy tale she had read when she was a child - Red Dancing Shoes.

When she came to this era, she couldn't tell when she started, as if she put on the cursed red dancing shoes and danced wildly on an unknown track without stopping.

Thinking of this, she only felt a chill run down her spine. At first she thought time travel was just an unreal dream, until it became her own life.She clenched her fists tightly, even if she couldn't get rid of the red shoes, she would never let it get out of control.

"What is General Fang thinking? The capital is ahead." Zhuge Yu's voice reached Fang Zilan's ears, pulling her out of her thoughts.

She reluctantly raised the corners of her mouth, "It's nothing, but I was thinking that it was early summer when I left Beijing, and now it's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival when I return, it's been more than a month."

"I didn't expect that either." Zhuge Yu shook his head with a smile, "It's actually still in time to return to Beijing for the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Young Master Zhuge doesn't want to go back to Beijing to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival?" She teased casually, but Zhuge Yu was stunned for a moment, "This is my first year to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in the capital, so it should be a special experience."

After hearing Zhuge Yu's words, Fang Zilan remembered that Zhuge Yu had only been in the capital for more than half a year, so she turned to look at Li Qiyou who was beside her, "My lord thinks that the Mid-Autumn Festival is celebrated in the capital every year, but what's so interesting about the Mid-Autumn Festival in the capital? "

Li Qiyou, who was named, was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The Mid-Autumn Festival in the capital is always a grand event. There is a big moon banquet in the palace, and the pagoda of Baiye Temple in the west of Beijing will also be lit up on that day. Qiandeng, young ladies and gentlemen from aristocratic families go out together to enjoy flowers, common people burn incense sticks and set off sky lanterns to visit the flower market, and Sufangzhai will launch a unique mooncake every year..."

"Sufangzhai, the most famous pastry shop in the capital? The prince also eats their mooncakes?" Fang Zilan interjected curiously, and Li Qiyou didn't care, "Sufangzhai is well-known outside the palace. They will also order some of their snacks."

Fang Zilan listened with gusto when Li Qiyou told the story. Although she grew up in the capital, she had no memory of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Hearing what Li Qiyou said was so bustling and lively, she couldn't help but be moved.It's a rare opportunity, this time she wants to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival well.

"That's great, I'm going to put up a sky lantern to enjoy the flowers on the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I'll go to Sufangzhai to buy mooncakes to try." Fang Zilan sighed.

Zhuge Yu laughed lightly, "If General Fang rewards you, you can go to Baiye Temple with Zhuge Yu to light Buddhist lamps."

"Lighting Buddha lamps?" A look of surprise flashed across her face, Dajing respected Buddhism, and lighting Buddha lamps was not something that ordinary wealthy families could do.

But she thought about it again, it seemed that it was not impossible to light a Buddha lamp with the honorable status of the Zhuge family, so she nodded and said: "If Mr. Zhuge invites you, I will definitely go to the appointment."

The three of them chatted about the joys of the Mid-Autumn Festival all the way, time passed unknowingly, everyone had already arrived at the gate of the capital in a blink of an eye, and Li Shengxuan was already there to welcome him as he said before.

Fang Zilan and his party got off their horses and saluted. After greetings, Li Qiyou and Zhuge Yu entered the city with Li Shengxuan, and led Shangguan Jingxian into the palace.

Fang Zilan brought his deputy back to the camp in the suburbs of Beijing, and then rushed to Qiankun Palace to report.

When she arrived, Li Shengxuan was interrogating Shangguanjing. Shangguanjing still only admitted that he had sent hundreds of women from good families to Jinren for Shangguanmin, and denied everything else.

As soon as Fang Zilan entered, he bumped into Shangguan Jing's muzzle, and he scolded him straight: "Fang Zilan, that woman planted a frame to frame the blame, her ambition is obvious." went in.

Seeing Fang Zilan coming, Li Shengxuan avoided her salute, and said indifferently: "General Fang has heard what Shangguan respects, so what do you want to say?"

"It's false to plant a frame and blame it, but it's true if my ambition is revealed." Fang Zilan didn't change her face, "If I really intend to plant a frame and frame the blame, I won't try my best to save you and Shangguan Min in the northern border, and let you both die Wouldn’t it be easier? If I hadn’t revealed my ambitions clearly, I wouldn’t have vowed not to give up without taking Chakel’s head, so I wouldn’t be able to bring out your treason, would I?”
