Chapter 44: Visiting Alone

Chapter 44: Visiting Alone

In response to Gu Nianting's request, Ning Yunxi came to Prince Chen's Mansion alone.

Gu Nianting looked like a winner, as if his plan had succeeded.

He strode out from behind the screen, still covered in golden light.

"Third cousin, how are you?"

Ning Yunxi had just learned that he had agreed to Mu Yan's request and officially became Concubine Yi's adopted son.

In this case, they are naturally cousins.

Ning Yunxi followed etiquette and performed a slight half-bow.

"My cousin is fine."

Gu Nianting sat down first, then gestured to the side seat.

"Please sit down. It's your own home. You don't have to be polite."

Ning Yunxi rolled her eyes in displeasure, turned around, and her skirt flew up and landed on the side seat.

"You're welcome, cousin."

"This is not my home."

Gu Nianting raised his lips and smiled, continuing his frivolous behavior.

"I've lived here for more than a year, so how come it's not considered your home?"

"Is the backyard of Prince Chen's Mansion your home?"

"By the way, I have renovated the backyard. There is no trace of the fire at all."

"Your Liyongju has been restored to its original state. Do you want to visit it?"

Ning Yunxi looked even more displeased.

"Cousin, please speak frankly."

"I'm not here to chat about family matters."

Gu Nianting turned a deaf ear and his attitude was even more frivolous.

"How is your Xiangzhu Garden?"

"I heard that there was a fire in Xiangzhuyuan and your master bedroom was burned down."

"So you moved to the second bedroom to sleep."

"The second bedroom is really small. It's better to live in Liyongju."

"right?"

"I have filled Liyongju with flowers,"

“Not only that, there are also unexpected surprises.”

"Do you want to know what the surprise is?"

"Well, just as you thought."

"As long as you agree, I will regret accepting Mother Concubine Yi's invitation and will no longer be her adopted son."

"For you, I am willing to do anything."

Ning Yunxi couldn't bear it any longer.

"If you dare to speak frivolously and not talk about serious matters again,"

"I will go to the palace and tell the emperor."

"The medicine used to treat the emperor's old illness was provided by you. It seems that there is something unclean mixed in it."

"Now, the person my cousin loves is no longer the emperor, but he is conspiring with the imperial concubine."

"Tell me, will the emperor suspect that you have been Aunt Imperial Concubine's man from the beginning?"

"My cousin has the intention to usurp the throne. It is impossible for the emperor not to see it. He is just considering the relationship between father and son."

"The secret message of the dragon robe can be ignored."

"But I wonder if he can still turn a blind eye when it comes to his old illness and life-threatening situation?"

Gu Nianting clenched his fists in his sleeves, making a few crisp sounds.

"Ah."

"People's minds are hard to predict, but my third cousin knows how to play it very well."

"I, the king, would like to admit defeat and feel ashamed of myself."

"Okay, let's get down to business."

"I fulfilled Qiu Bi's filial piety because I cared about my cousin."

"Even if my cousin spreads this matter, others will only say that this prince values ​​friendship and loyalty."

Ning Yunxi glanced at him and felt annoyed.

"I know."

"Just say it directly. There's no need to be hesitant or ambiguous."

Gu Nianting smiled arrogantly, looking very proud.

"Since you took advantage of my trick and went deep into Tinghetai, I have been suspicious,"

"You intend to win over Qin Hongzhong."

"After winning him over, he will be given important positions, so I sent someone to keep an eye on him in secret."

"I didn't expect that Qiu Bi's biological parents were accidentally discovered."

"I never expected that you would voluntarily walk into my plan for such a small figure."

"I can't help but ask,"

"Are you willing to fall for Qiu Bi's sake? Or are you looking for this excuse to get closer to me?"

"You don't have to be shy, just speak up."

"This king also has this intention."

Ning Yunxi was extremely angry.

"Gu Nianting, don't be so self-indulgent."

"I don't like trash."

"I don't like you, you piece of shit!"

Gu Nianting's smile gradually faded and his eyes widened in anger.

"Then why did you come?"

"After they separated, they took the opportunity to look for each other again. Even a fool would know that this meant they wanted to get back together."

"Are you an exception?"

Ning Yunxi's anger almost overwhelmed her rationality. She took out his letter and threw it on the ground in annoyance.

"Do I need to explain why I came to your house?"

"you say,"

"What do you want me to do in order to release Qiu Bi's parents?"

A hint of disappointment flashed across Gu Nianting's eyes.

"Ning Yunxi, I have given you a chance,"

"If you don't know how to appreciate my kindness, don't blame me for being rude!"

Ning Yunxi rolled her eyes again.

“I don’t know how many times I need to emphasize this.”

"Just tell me directly, what conditions do you want to let Qiu Bi's parents go?"

Gu Nianting turned his head and returned to his usual pretentious expression.

"You know, Qiu Bi's parents are ordinary people. This king has never thought of making things difficult for them."

"What this prince has always wanted is nothing more than the life of King Di Jin."

"The Emperor Jin Palace is heavily guarded, and the people from the Supervisory Office take turns to guard it."

"Even if the emperor sends people from the Tongshitai, they will not be able to harm the emperor's uncle in the slightest."

"This king is alone and helpless."

"So, we must make him leave the Emperor Jin Palace and lead him to a place far away from the Supervisory Platform."

"Find a way to tie up Gao Jing and the other guards."

"This way, I can start."

Ning Yunxi was secretly worried.

"How are you going to lead it?"

Gu Nianting smiled at her.

"Of course it depends on you."

"You were kidnapped by criminals, so you wrote a letter and asked him to go alone to rescue you."

"Although there is some rift between you, he values ​​your talent and will definitely be reluctant to let you go and help you."

Ning Yunxi raised an objection.

"Even so, he can't really go alone."

"I will definitely bring Gao Jing and others with me and have them hide nearby."

Gu Nianting took out a map and pointed to a place.

"I have observed the terrain here in advance. If someone comes in, I will be on high ground and they will have nowhere to hide."

"Unfortunately, the guards of the emperor's uncle are all highly skilled in martial arts, and it is difficult for my people to deal with them."

"But your medical skills can completely restrain them invisibly, and it will be difficult for the emperor's uncle to detect it for a while."

"Uncle Huang thinks he has someone to protect him, so he will walk into my trap without any scruples."

"You don't have to worry about what happens next."

Ning Yunxi smiled contemptuously.

"Cousin, do you really not use your own people because King Dijin's guards are difficult to deal with?"

"Or is it because of something else?"

Gu Nianting was dressed like a local thug and his smile was extremely sinister.

"Of course it's because it's difficult to deal with."

"But don't worry, I will definitely erase all traces of your medical skills."

"You don't have to worry."

Ning Yunxi saw through his thoughts and laughed.

"Oh?"

"is it?"

"you are nice."

"Now that we have discussed the countermeasures, could you tell me where the house is so I can meet Qiu Bi's parents?"

Gu Nianting nodded and wrote down the address of the house.

"Of course, that's as it should be."

"Give."

"But let me be frank with you,"

"Don't play tricks on me and use my strategy to deal with me."

"You are a noble lady, appreciated by my father and uncle. I cannot touch you easily."

"However, if Qiu Bi's parents have any accidents on the way back to Beijing, I can definitely help them."

"You'd better listen to me!"
