Chapter 139 1 Suffer together
In the side hall of the Di Sheng Palace, the inner pillars are solemn and golden dragons are coiled, interweaving into a solemn picture.
Ning Fengzhe used clever words to explain the pros and cons to An Pengyi and easily convinced him.
An Pengyi listened carefully and nodded repeatedly as he was told.
"From what you said, Lord Zhuang does have a suspicion, and it is very likely that it is Fang Zhixuan."
"But the emperor was deceived and had no doubts at all."
"You are right. It is best to get rid of Ning Yunxi as soon as possible while Fang Zhixuan has not yet gained the trust of King Di Jin. Otherwise, if she is allowed to communicate in the middle, Fang Zhixuan will sooner or later submit to King Di Jin."
Ning Fengzhe's eyes were hidden under his long eyelashes, revealing a hint of relief.
"Lord An has a far-sighted vision and can learn from the past and predict the future."
"I originally planned to deal with Ning Yunxi myself, but Fang Zhixuan deliberately obstructed me. Now, I can only entrust it to Lord An."
An Pengyi agreed and then asked.
"what should I do?"
"She has excellent medical skills and is also very strategic. It is not easy to deal with her."
Thinking of Ning Yunxi's situation, a hint of contempt appeared at the corners of Ning Fengzhe's lips.
"it's actually really easy."
"Whenever Lord An sent a maid to bring her meals, she would pretend that she had knocked the food over, and then send someone to clean up."
"In a few days, she will die."
"This time, I will personally watch over it and will not allow anyone to secretly send her food!"
"When the doctor's calamity comes to an end, if it is proven beyond a doubt, then she committed suicide out of fear of guilt; but if not, then she was angry and indignant about the injustice and went on a hunger strike out of will."
"For the former, she deserves it; for the latter, we can ask the emperor to posthumously confer the title of princess on her and that will be the end of the matter."
"Also, if there is anything wrong with this matter, Lord An can also put the blame on the maid who delivered the food."
"This is a crude plan that cannot be accepted by the elegant hall. I am not well-educated and I am sorry to make you laugh at me, Lord An."
An Pengyi smiled in surprise and praised sincerely.
"Master Ning has a good plan."
"I have always believed that those who are resourceful are not only good at attacking, but also know how to retreat. Only by advancing and retreating properly can one win the battle."
"Lord Yiru Ning is such a perfect person."
Ning Fengzhe raised his lips modestly and gracefully.
"Mr. An, thank you very much."
After finishing their conversation, they returned to the main hall, bowed, and took their seats.
At this time, Gu Mengzhen was talking with Fang Zhixuan.
"Tell Hui'er to go to Yuexi Mansion as little as possible."
Fang Zhixuan first responded and then explained.
"Yes, I see."
"Your Majesty is very clear. Hui'er is trying to get information and is also trying to make peace."
"She always thought that through the relationship with her third son-in-law, she would naturally be able to become a close friend of Ning Yunxi."
"After they become close, no matter what the emperor wants to do, she will be able to help more or less."
When talking about his niece, Gu Mengzhen's eyes were full of doting and his tone was much gentler.
"I naturally know that she means well."
"That child is innocent, and Ning Yunxi is good at attacking her heart. I am afraid Hui'er will not be able to bear it and be plotted against by others."
"Let's leave the matter of persuading them to make peace to Lord Ning."
Fang Zhixuan turned his head and glanced at Ning Fengzhe who was sitting down, and smiled meaningfully.
"Your Majesty is wise, I understand."
"From now on, no matter if it's Wei'er, Rui'er or Hui'er, I order them to stay away from Ning Yunxi."
Gu Mengzhen smiled happily, showing a bit of satisfaction.
"But if the three Ning girls return after the medical plan, and their loyalty is confirmed, there is no need to restrict their contact, so that they won't complain that you are too strict."
Fang Zhixuan smiled in response.
"Yes."
Gu Mengzhen immediately changed the subject and looked at Ning Fengzhe.
"Now that my beloved Ning has returned, I will talk to you about serious matters."
"Just now, I and the other ministers have already agreed. Lord Zhuang and Miss Ning were framed by Mu Rong before, so it is very appropriate for him to pretend to be the villain to highlight your sincerity and move Miss Ning."
Ning Fengzhe was speechless, just smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Yes."
How could I have such a father...
Why should you be obsessed with someone who will never come back?
The proceedings are over,
The two guards on the left and right escorted Ning Fengzhe. Fang Zhixuan stepped forward and led them to the bronze platform and came to the room where Ning Yunxi was.
Hearing the footsteps, Ning Yunxi immediately got into the mood and started acting.
"Big brother?"
"What did my elder brother do wrong? Why did you send him here?"
"The wound on his face hasn't healed yet. How can you treat him like this without any sympathy?"
After she finished speaking, Ning Fengzhe glared at her coldly.
Fang Zhixuan smiled slyly.
"He pleaded for you, and considered you as guilty as well!"
Ning Yunxi covered her mouth in shock, took two steps forward, grabbed Ning Fengzhe's shoulders, and shook him gently twice.
"Brother, why are you so stupid?"
"It's hard to offend the public. How can you plead for me at this critical moment?"
As he spoke, he pretended to be crying but had no tears.
Ning Fengzhe quickly broke free from her hand.
"let me go!"
Ning Yunxi took the opportunity to blame the guards.
"Didn't you hear me? Big brother told you to let him go, let go now!"
Ning Fengzhe looked at her in disbelief.
How can she be so shameless?
Fang Zhixuan gestured and gave orders to the guards.
"Use chains and lock him to the wall."
After the guard responded, he carried out the order without delay.
Ning Yunxi pretended to stop him, and it seemed as if she was putting in a lot of effort, but in fact it was of no use at all.
"My elder brother is an official appointed by the imperial court, you can't lock him up!"
"Stop, stop it!"
"I won't let you lock him up!"
Ning Fengzhe seemed to be silent, but in fact he was so angry that his heart ached.
In the past, in front of outsiders, the Ning family pretended to be deeply affectionate, and Ning Yunxi was accused of being unfilial and had no way to defend herself.
And now, she has Fang Zhixuan, and she can plot against me like this.
Oh, it really is not pleasant to have trouble expressing your suffering.
Fang Zhixuan personally pulled Ning Yunxi away, so he applied force, but he was actually holding back his strength carefully.
"Princess Yuexi, please do not interfere with official business."
"He was an official appointed by the imperial court and knowingly committed the crime, so his crime is even more serious."
"Lock him up! It's the emperor's will. It's an imperial decree. You have no say in that!"
Ning Yunxi started sobbing.
"That can't be treated like that."
"Brother, you have sacrificed so much for me."
As she spoke, she knelt in front of Fang Zhixuan, grasped the corner of his clothes, and looked up at him pitifully with her almond-shaped eyes.
"I beg Master Zhuang to report this to the Emperor for me. I am willing to take all the blame and only ask him to show mercy and let my elder brother go."
"I beg you..."
Fang Zhixuan lowered his eyes with contempt.
"Your mother maliciously framed me and nearly killed me. How dare you be so shameless and beg for justice?"
As he said this, he waved his sleeves.
Ning Yunxi cooperated perfectly and fell to the ground, with the corners of her mouth raised, and she almost couldn't hold back her laughter.
Seeing this, Fang Zhixuan quickly cleared his throat to remind him.
"You are crying and whining. How could the Ning family raise two such unbecoming people like you?"
Ning Yunxi stopped smiling in time and unwillingly grabbed the corner of his clothes again.
"I will take full responsibility for my mother's attempt to pass off fake things as real things. I beg you to show mercy, my Lord!"
He was so absorbed in the performance that he almost forgot about Ning Fengzhe. Fang Zhixuan reacted belatedly, turned away, and warned him in a deep voice.
"Your sister has come to this point. Aren't you going to say anything?"
"I will not report her request, but your words and actions may not necessarily be the same."
Ning Fengzhe cooperated reluctantly.
"Xi'er, don't ask him, and don't be afraid. I will suffer with you."
Fang Zhixuan pursed his lips and smiled with satisfaction.
"Very good, not bad, then let's suffer together."
"Come here, from today on, I will punish you with ten lashes every day."
The guard asked one more question: "Master, is it ten lashes for each person, or ten lashes for both of them?"
Fang Zhixuan answered slowly.
"Ten lashes for the two of them combined."
As he spoke, he pointed at Ning Fengzhe.
"Just hit him."
The guard was shocked: "Didn't you say that we should suffer together?"
