Chapter 121 Bet You Dare Not
The intention of luring the enemy is obvious.
Ning Fengzhe was secretly moved and almost couldn't resist the temptation.
After thinking about it carefully, he calmed down.
"If the prescription is fake, the emperor's uncle still has something to say to defend himself."
"Let's say that Prince Di Jin discovered Ning Yunxi's identity as an informant. In my opinion, she is already a discarded pawn, so I took such a cruel action to prove myself. The person who died was Ning Yunxi, not Prince Chen. How can I prove my determination?"
"Besides, the prescription is fake. I killed the only person who could possibly save my father, which is equivalent to taking his life."
"If you advise me like this, my father will be furious. Will I be buried with Ning Yunxi?"
"The emperor's uncle is too cruel."
"With this ending, I might as well just sit there and wait for death. At least I won't lose my life."
"As for Father's suspicion, I will find another way to prove myself."
Fang Zhixuan's eyes fell and he locked his eyes fiercely on Ning Fengzhe.
“The prescription is real.”
"If you take her life and get the prescription, not only will you clear your own name, but you will also accomplish a great deed. Why not do it?"
Ning Fengzhe was suddenly startled and met his gaze with disbelief.
I wanted to see through his thoughts, but they were all foggy.
"Is this true?"
"Can you be so kind?"
There was a hint of sincerity in Fang Zhixuan's cunning eyes.
"really."
"As you said, how could an uncle have the intention to murder his nephew?"
"You have no sincerity towards Xi'er, but I have kindness towards you."
"I remember when we first met, you were still a child who believed in the relationship between uncle and nephew and regarded me as your own uncle. You followed me around all day, calling me "Uncle Royal" on the left and "Uncle Royal" on the right."
"At that time, your aunt had just married into the Zhuang family and was not pregnant yet. You were just like our child, playing around in the Zhuang family, innocent and naive."
"Do you still keep the first toy I gave you?"
Ning Fengzhe did not answer, but slightly opened his thin lips and uttered a contemptuous sound.
"My father ordered me to gather information and confirm the scar, so I came to the Zhuang Mansion to play around."
"Whether I was innocent at that time, the emperor's uncle knew it in his heart."
"Otherwise, why would you pretend to love me but actually be on guard against me, and no matter how hard I tried, I still couldn't find out the truth?"
Fang Zhixuan smiled slightly and responded gently.
"In my heart, you will always be that innocent child."
Ning Fengzhe smiled bitterly twice, feeling sad and a little inferior.
"I can hear the emperor's contempt in a loving way."
"It is really hard to make insinuations, so it is better to speak frankly."
Fang Zhixuan swept away all hypocrisy and cunning, like a drop of sweet spring water, and his heart was as clear as a mirror.
"I do speak my mind."
"The precautions are real, the care is genuine, and the prescription is also real."
Ning Fengzhe's brows were furrowed in confusion.
"You lured me into the game with a clever trick, just to help me win?"
After asking, he felt something was wrong.
"Do you have other plans?"
Fang Zhixuan shook his head slightly, it was hard to tell the truth from the false.
"No arrangements."
"I bet you don't dare to act rashly."
Ning Fengzhe had a complicated expression and couldn't believe it.
"The two descendants of the Fang clan are extremely intelligent and their plan to gain trust and sow discord is so ill-conceived?"
Fang Zhixuan's eyes were sometimes clear and sometimes cloudy.
"Indeed."
"That's why I used words to stir your heart and make sure you don't dare to take action."
"If I make any plans for today, you can easily find evidence against me and prove that Xi'er and I are in collusion."
"So we can only take a risky move."
"Can you think of any good idea that can both plot against you and ensure Xi'er's safety?"
Ning Fengzhe's thoughts raced, and the more he thought about it, the more confused he became.
"It's easy to leave a handle."
"But just because I can't figure it out doesn't mean you are helpless."
"You must have made some arrangements. If I take action, I will definitely die."
Fang Zhixuan turned his gaze out the window and admired the bright moon.
"It's up to you. That's all I have to say."
Ning Fengzhe was thinking hard and almost going crazy.
Is the prescription real or fake?
Do they have other arrangements?
What can be arranged?
Why can't I figure it out no matter how hard I rack my brains?
Is there really no arrangement?
It's absolutely impossible. They are all descendants of the Fang clan, how could they plot so casually?
To deal with Fang Zhixuan, one must be fully prepared, anticipate all possibilities, and take precautions before taking action. Otherwise, as the lesson from the past shows, rash actions will only lead to a more miserable loss.
If I lose this time, I will pay with my life.
I must not be impulsive...
As I was thinking about it, the carriage had stopped.
They all looked from a high place and saw that no one was lying in ambush at the foot of the mountain.
This is what Gu Mengzhen thought.
If Ning Yunxi doesn't show up, the ambush will be useless.
If he appeared, she would be very alert. If she found out there was an ambush nearby, she would inevitably become suspicious and guess that it was a test.
With her intelligence, she is able to cooperate with Fengzhe tacitly.
In this way, not only will the test results be inaccurate, but the old prescription for the disease may also be secretly replaced by a fake one.
Therefore, he was very cautious. Only by making her believe that this was indeed an invitation from his elder brother could he show up with the real prescription without any worries.
After thinking about it, I heard the guard report.
"Your Majesty, Lord Ning's second letter has been left at the foot of the mountain."
Gu Mengzhen responded in a deep voice.
"okay."
The second letter told Ning Yunxi to leave the prescription and then leave.
Everything is ready, just waiting for Ning Yunxi to show up.
It was dark at night and no lights could be turned on. Gu Mengzhen watched intently, afraid of missing Ning Yunxi.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Ning Yunxi finally showed up with the prescription in hand.
Ning Fengzhe felt depressed and frustrated.
Gu Mengzhen turned his head and looked at Ning Fengzhe with eyes full of suspicion.
Before they even glanced at each other, Fang Zhixuan had already drawn his bow and arrow, aiming directly at Ning Yunxi's fatal spot.
Gu Mengzhen was startled and asked softly, "What are you doing, Mr. Zhuang?"
Ning Fengzhe was helpless and could only roll his eyes.
Fang Zhixuan concentrated on acting.
"Your Majesty, the prescription has been obtained, and there is no point in keeping her."
"Whether she aspires to be Prince Dijin or Prince Chen, tonight, she must not return."
"Thanks to the training of the emperor, I have made some progress in archery. Let me take action to break the enemy's arm and eliminate the trouble for the emperor forever!"
As he drew the bow, his palms unconsciously broke out in cold sweat.
As it concerned Xier's safety, he was secretly extremely worried.
Gu Mengzhen calculated every step accurately and planned what he had in mind, and he grasped the timing of drawing the bow and shooting the arrow just right.
As expected, Gu Mengzhen reached out to stop him in time: "My dear, stop it."
Because of being blocked, the arrow deviated slightly and landed right at Ning Yunxi's feet.
Ning Yunxi, who was at the foot of the mountain, pretended to be frightened and ran away, leaving behind half of the prescription.
The prescription had already been properly processed, and it looked like it had been cut in half by Fang Zhixuan's arrow.
As long as Gu Mengzhen gives the prescription to Ansong, he will be able to tell whether it is genuine or not, but he will not be able to guess all the medicines used.
In this way, the prescription was concealed and Ning Yunxi's trust in Ning Fengzhe was confirmed. Naturally, it was also proved that Ning Yunxi did not return because Ning Fengzhe did not persuade her at all.
Seeing Xier escape successfully, Fang Zhixuan breathed a sigh of relief and continued acting.
"Why did the emperor stop it?"
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we get rid of her, the Emperor will have one less powerful enemy!"
