Chapter 142 Another Teasing

Chapter 142 Another Teasing

The room of Tongshitai is mainly dark in color, with solid brick walls and ancient furnishings. In the silence, a sense of oppression rushes in.

Ning Yunxi slept in the next room and did not live with Ning Fengzhe.

In the morning, she woke up from her mahogany bed, washed up simply, and then heard someone knocking on the door.

When I opened it, it was Zhuang Wei.

She looked around to make sure there was no one there, and after he came in, she closed the door and then asked.

"how are things going?"

Zhuang Wei smiled slightly and invited him to take a seat.

"Don't worry cousin, everything is going well."

"Lord Lin already knows our identities and is willing to trust us. He went to Prince Dijin's mansion yesterday to offer advice."

"My cousin had previously planned for me to find an opportunity to show my talents and attract the emperor's attention. Father could then take this opportunity to cooperate with Lord Lin and persuade the emperor to promote me to the position of Minister of Copper Affairs."

"I am not talented enough to accomplish anything, but my cousin took this into consideration and asked Prince Di Jin to intercede for you at the flower viewing banquet in the palace, intentionally or unintentionally giving me a chance to show my abilities."

Ning Yunxi smiled helplessly.

"You are too modest. With your talent, why do you need me to do anything for you?"

"Actually, my brother's plea for mercy was totally unexpected and not something I intended."

"But it's a rare opportunity, so I took advantage of the situation and winked at you."

"My uncle has not been appointed to the position of Copper Affairs Office. Even if he were to take advantage of the emperor's will and pretend to be a villain, it would still be inconvenient for him to act."

"It just so happens that you are working at the Tongshitai, but you are only a Tongshishi servant. Your rank is not high enough and you have no right to inquire about medical matters. That's why I suggested to my uncle to help you get promoted."

"Thank you for your hard work for me."

Zhuang Wei's face blossomed brightly and he smiled with joy.

"Getting promoted is one of the greatest joys in life, so why should it be hard?"

"My father was worried and told me to be careful at all times and not let my cousin suffer any injustice."

At this point, his cheeks flushed and he felt a little embarrassed.

"Also, Lord Lin must let me tell you that King Di Jin is very worried about your safety and is willing to sacrifice the world rather than see you in despair."

After hearing this, Ning Yunxi blushed, feeling ashamed and lowered her eyes.

"Thank you for conveying that. I understand."

"Cough cough cough..."

"I have something for you to check."

Zhuang Wei put away his shyness and looked serious.

"I have something to report, too."

"But please speak first, cousin."

Ning Yunxi calmed down her chaotic mood and gradually regained her composure.

"Last night, the maid who brought me food deliberately knocked over the food, and then asked another servant to come and clean it up."

"I guess this is what big brother meant."

Zhuang Wei was shocked when he understood what he meant.

"He is so despicable and shameless when he is starving to death?"

As he spoke, he remembered something.

"So the food that was fed to the pigs yesterday was originally prepared for you?"

"No wonder the pig food, with its delicacies from land and sea, and its dishes of gold and jade, is more sumptuous than my meals."

"I thought the Tongshitai stopped training imperial guards and started raising pigs for the royal family instead."

Ning Yunxi was amused and smiled, then continued talking about business.

"I mean, I want you to help me find out who is helping Big Brother so that we can come up with a plan to deal with it."

Zhuang Wei thought about it.

"My father seemed to have mentioned it, but there were so many things that I can't remember clearly. I'll ask him when I get home."

"First things first. I'll go find you something to eat and bring it to you quietly."

Ning Yunxi stopped him immediately.

"You and I are already in a dangerous situation when we talk like this, let alone delivering food. You'd better be careful not to show your true colors."

"It's okay for me to go hungry for a few meals. Just figure out a solution as soon as possible and the problem will be solved. There's no need to worry about the crisis."

"By the way, what did you want to say just now?"

Zhuang Wei's eyes were clear and quiet, like a deep and fragrant purple lotus under the moonlight.

"Just now, when I walked into the gate of Tongshitai, I happened to see a maid carrying a food box and asking to visit and deliver food."

"I saw that she was at a loss and extremely frightened, so I paid a little more attention to her, and happened to smell a very faint strange fragrance."

"My cousin knows that my brother and I like to play pranks, so we have all the herbs we need. Although I can't smell what kind it is, I can feel that it is not an ordinary herb. It is very likely to be something that harms people!"

"The maid's name is E Lan, and she said that Madam Ning sent her here."

Ning Yunxi listened and thought at the same time, and soon understood.

"The food is different, I can't hide it from you, so I sent O-lan here, under the pretext of visiting, to tamper with the whip."

"Haha, I know as soon as I heard it that this was the idea of ​​the Imperial Concubine Aunt."

Zhuang Wei smiled sarcastically.

"Does she think that the one being whipped is her cousin?"

"She acted rashly without finding out the truth. Has she always been so resolute in her attempts to murder people?"

Ning Yunxi held her forehead with her hand helplessly, feeling ashamed.

"I guess even the way out is something that the mother has to think about herself."

"She is eloquent and has a great eloquence, but she is not good at planning. If it weren't for her mother's improvement over the years, she would have been in danger long ago."

"I'll find a way to deal with Erlan's problem right now, you go ahead and do your work."

Zhuang Wei's eyes gradually deepened, revealing a hint of cunning.

"I have an idea, please listen to it, cousin."

Ning Yunxi nodded.

"You said."

Zhuang Wei explained it in detail, without missing a single detail.

Ning Yunxi's almond-shaped eyes were fixed in incomprehension, and she felt both amused and sad.

"Another prank?"

"Why do you like playing pranks so much?"

Zhuang Weihao responded seriously.

"We only tease those who deserve to be teased, and never harm innocent people."

"Brother-in-law and I have a lot of fun playing together, cousin, why don't you practice as well? We can't play together and leave you alone in the future, right?"

Ning Yunxi imagined the extent of the fun and agreed.

"Okay, let me try."

After Zhuang Wei left,

Ning Yunxi returned to the room where Ning Fengzhe was.

"Good morning to big brother."

Seeing him sitting quietly on the wooden chair with the chains removed, she pretended to be slightly startled.

"It's great that my big brother can relax and no longer suffer from the pain of being bound."

"I just don't know which adult helped us?"

"I must thank him personally for such a great favor."

Ning Fengzhe's eyes were aloof and a little gloomy.

"It's Master Zhuang, you go and thank him."

Ning Yunxi smiled playfully.

"Big brother is really good at joking."

"He has a grudge against us, how can he be so kind?"

"Since you don't want to talk, I won't ask."

"Today is just like last night. Big brother still had the food knocked over and won't let me eat?"

Ning Fengzhe smiled calmly.

"you misunderstood."

"I never instructed anyone to do this, and I didn't even know someone had knocked over the food last night. Is this really such a bizarre thing? Who is against us, my brother and I?"

At this time, a guard came in and whispered in Ning Fengzhe's ear.

"Master Ning, someone is visiting."

"In order to prevent the situation in the Tongshitai from being leaked, Lord An ordered that the iron chain be relocked, and Lord Ning will be wronged for the time being. In addition, Lord An has already recorded the ten lashes today, and just regard it as a beating."

After Ning Fengzhe responded, he was locked in the wall again.

After locking the door, the guard turned and left.

Ning Yunxi then reminded.

"Brother, don't think about it for a moment. Who is this person visiting?"

Ning Fengzhe didn't react for a moment.

"Isn't it mother?"

Ning Yunxi gets to the point and explains things in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

"Of course not my mother."

"It's Oran."

Ning Fengzhe immediately understood everything and tried desperately to break free from the chains.

"Somebody come!"

Ning Yunxi made a hushing gesture.

"Olan will be here soon."

"Big brother, do you want others to know the true situation in Tongshitai?"

"I'm sorry, big brother, I have to enjoy this delicious meal prepared by mother alone. You just wait for the delicacies prepared by Tongshitai."

As she spoke, she took out a silver needle and gently inserted it into Ning Fengzhe's acupuncture point, causing him to faint.
