Chapter 140 What's the Use of This World
Fang Zhixuan's eyes turned cold, like the north wind in winter.
"Lord Ning said, torture to the body is lighter than a feather, but pain to the heart is heavier than a mountain."
"The Emperor has also approved that Princess Yuexi should suffer the pain of heartbreak."
"The conversation at the flower-viewing palace banquet has already spread throughout Shengjing and is about to spread throughout the world. Haven't you heard about it?"
"This is the Emperor's order, do you understand?"
The guard lowered his head in panic and responded quickly.
"Yes."
"I understand. Thank you for your advice, sir."
Fang Zhixuan waved his sleeves and sat down.
"As long as you know."
"Then let's fight."
"Oh, by the way, have someone pull Princess Yuexi away and stop her from getting in the way."
After saying that, he saw two guards take a few steps forward and go towards Ning Yunxi, and he immediately stopped them.
"Wait a moment."
"Go find two maids."
"She is, after all, Princess Yuexi appointed by the Imperial Decree. By treating her like this, do you want the Emperor to bear the infamy of looking down on Prince Dijin?"
The guards were panic-stricken and hurriedly responded and left.
At this time, only Fang Zhixuan, Ning Yunxi and Ning Fengzhe were left in the room.
Ning Fengzhe smiled bitterly with a hint of mockery.
"The traces are too obvious."
"How come they can't see that?"
"Oh, you are so blind."
Fang Zhixuan adjusted his cloak casually.
"How can an ordinary person compare to Lord Ning's keen insight?"
"Why belittle yourself? It's not that they are blind, but that you are too cunning."
After a few casual words, a guard came with two maids.
After the ten whips, Fang Zhixuan got down to business.
"My lady, do you feel the pain of being torn apart?"
"As long as you write down the prescription for your old illness, Lord Ning will be able to forgive you appropriately."
"Otherwise, I don't know which whip would kill him."
Ning Yunxi's face was already covered with tears. She sobbed and thought for a moment, then nodded with grievance and agreed.
"Okay, I'll write."
Fang Zhixuan gestured leisurely.
"Pen and ink are at your service."
Ning Yunxi wrote down the prescription.
In the room opposite, Ansong was already on standby.
After he identified the authenticity, he gave an answer: the prescription is wrong.
Fang Zhixuan came back pretending to be angry.
"You dare to play tricks on me?"
"Someone, come and fight."
The guard carefully confirmed: "Is it still Lord Ning?"
Fang Zhixuan agreed as a matter of course.
"Of course it's him."
Ning Fengzhe couldn't bear it any longer.
"The matter of the medical disaster is under the charge of the Tongshitai. If Master Zhuang has no important business, you can go back to the mansion and rest!"
Fang Zhixuan hit back without any hesitation.
"Why do you think, Lord Ning, that prescriptions for old illnesses are not important matters?"
Ning Yunxi felt reluctant and felt distressed subconsciously.
"Forget it, stop fighting."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Fang Zhixuan scolding him harshly.
"You said you don't want to fight, so don't fight. Tongshitai, when did you make the decision?"
"The Mu family almost killed me. I will remember this for the rest of my life."
"beat!"
So Ning Fengzhe was whipped ten more times.
Although Ning Yunxi felt distressed, she also understood her uncle.
The mother did have bad intentions, and it was the eldest brother who offered the idea.
If they are not careful, they will bring disaster upon the whole family just like in their previous life.
So he was angry not only because of the scheme, but also because of real rage.
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw tears in the corners of my uncle's eyes.
She suddenly realized.
It turns out that my uncle really has a nephew-like relationship with my older brother.
So, at this moment, he must be heartbroken, right?
The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the windows of Prince Dijin's mansion, faintly and beautifully onto Yan Yu's face.
He woke up quietly, his starry eyes slowly opened, facing the ripples of the setting sun, his face sparkling, reflecting an air of nobility, without a trace of vulgarity.
The calligraphy and paintings on the wall came into view. Yan Yu was startled and suddenly sat up from the bed.
"Aren't you attending the flower-viewing palace banquet?"
"Why am I back in Prince Dijin's Palace?"
"Gao Jing!"
Gao Jing heard the sound and came over in a hurry.
"My subordinate is here."
Yan Yu showed concern impatiently.
"Where's the little sister?"
"Did you save him?"
Gao Jing was shocked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Your Majesty wants to save her?"
"Then why are you pretending to be drunk?"
"I thought you were pretending to fall asleep."
"Aren't you pretending to be drunk?"
Yan Yu’s face turned pale in an instant and he staggered off the bed.
"That's not pretending to be drunk!"
"My royal brother arranged for someone to give me something that made me faint without me noticing."
"What about her?"
"Didn't Lin Mu save her?"
Gao Jing reached out to help, smiling innocently.
"Your Highness is a doctor. Who can use medicine to make you faint?"
"There is no one else here. Your Majesty's deep meaning, I understand."
Yan Yu was completely puzzled by what he heard.
"What's the deep meaning?"
"I was concentrating on saving her at the time and was careless for a moment, so someone took advantage of the opportunity to use drugs on her."
"That medicine is very strange. I could smell the dosage and it was obviously not enough to make me faint, so I didn't pay much attention to it. I just thought it was a self-defense item carried by someone nearby."
"Then, for some reason, the dosage suddenly increased dramatically, and the aftereffects rushed up, and I fell asleep."
After thinking for a moment, he understood Gao Jing's guess, and he shouted in a stern voice, demanding an explanation.
"This king has no deep intention, I just want to save her, do you understand?"
"Where is she now?"
"Has he been imprisoned in the Tongshitai?"
Gao Jing lowered his head as if admitting his mistake.
"Yes."
As he spoke, he unconsciously stopped himself with his hands.
"Why would the prince really want to save her?"
"Times are different now. The medical disaster has caused public resentment. I hope Your Majesty will think twice."
"A few words of pleading show that the prince is kind and will not disappoint other ministers."
"If it really doesn't work, I can rush into the Tongshitai for the sake of the prince, rescue the princess, go far away, take her to live in seclusion, and protect her. However, after this action, I can no longer serve the prince."
"In short, Your Majesty cannot abandon the country and the people, and abandon the Yan clan and the world!"
Thinking about Ning Yunxi's current situation, Yan Yu clenched her wide sleeves with both hands, and her clenched sleeves trembled slightly.
"Without her, what's the point of this world?"
"The people at the Tongshitai are all my brother's confidants. Zhuang Shao is targeting her maliciously, and Ning Fengzhe has bad intentions. I'm sure she is already covered in wounds..."
"This king cannot stand idly by."
"Your plan, though reckless, is the last glimmer of hope."
"Go and rescue her first. I will then find a way to redress her injustice and then welcome you back to the capital."
"Go quickly."
Gao Jing responded with boldness and heroism.
"Yes!"
As soon as he walked out of the room, Lin Mu, who came to offer advice, stopped him and said, "Master Gao, please don't be impulsive."
Gao Jing frowned and angrily shook his hand away.
"During the flower viewing palace banquet, you just watched from the other side without saying a word of sympathy, and now you're asking me not to be impulsive."
"Your Highness is not pretending to be drunk. You must have seen it. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Do you know how much time was wasted?"
Yan Yu heard this and immediately gave orders.
"Is Lin Mu here?"
"Let him in."
Gao Jing responded respectfully.
"Yes."
Turning to look at Lin Mu, he was still unhappy.
"Come in, I have things to do."
Lin Mu insisted on stopping him and gestured for him to come in.
"Master Gao, please be patient."
"Please come in too."
Gao Jing became annoyed and emphasized without patience.
"I told you, I have something else to do!"
Lin Mu kept smiling.
"I know."
"But please be patient."
"Please come in."
Yan Yu gave another series of instructions.
"Gao Jing, come in and sit for a while."
"Lin Muying must have come up with a plan."
The two walked into the room one after the other, and Gao Jing sat down first.
After Lin Mu bowed, he sat down at the side.
"I do have a plan, Your Majesty, please listen to it."
Yan Yu nodded and urged.
"Say it."
Lin Mu explained Ning Yunxi's plan in detail in his own name.
After hearing this, Yan Yu's heart finally settled down.
"It's a good plan."
"But in the process of implementing the plan, my little sister might be in trouble."
Lin Mu smiled in comfort.
"With this humble servant's help, the princess will not be wronged."
"Please be at ease, Your Majesty, and don't worry."
There was worry in Yan Yu's frown.
"please."
Lin Mu responded respectfully.
"The minister obeys the order."
