Chapter 156 Mistaken Uncle

Chapter 156 Mistaken Uncle

After careful consideration, Gu Mengzhen nodded solemnly.

"What you said is not without reason."

"It seems that Prince Chen has no hope of returning."

"Alas, the father's kindness and the son's filial piety are now a thing of the past. We can never go back to the past."

"Brother, tell me, how come there is no family affection in the royal family?"

Fang Zhixuan comforted him softly.

"Don't be sad, my brother."

"Even if the prince is obsessed with money and greed, I have no intention of neglecting our family ties."

"You and I are nominally king and subject, but in reality we are brothers from the same mother. Although my family is not in the royal family, our kinship is established and cannot be severed for a lifetime."

"Even if you are deserted by your friends and relatives, I will always be here. Even if I die, I will still protect you, my brother."

Gu Mengzhen stared intently and smiled with relief.

"Thank you."

"When my children die unfilially, I will be sad for a few days at most, but slowly, I will become indifferent to it."

"If it were you who abandoned me, I would never be able to let it go even if I died."

"You may not know, my dear brother, but I value you very much."

Having said this, I added a sentence for emphasis.

"You are the only one I value."

The words were warm, yet not without a hint of strangeness. Fang Zhixuan was puzzled in his heart, but all he could express was his emotion.

"I am a humble servant, but I am grateful to my royal brother for not abandoning me."

Having said that, let’s get back to the topic.

"In addition to Zhong Fumeng's plan for the medical disaster, I have discovered something else."

"Ning Yunxi went through the motions without any injuries; Prince Di Jin treated the people and won their hearts; Prince Chen opened the warehouse to help the people, worked hard and wished he could sleep in Xinglin Hall every day, and his reputation was also praised by the world."

"Only my royal brother gained nothing."

"When Fengzhe offered his advice, he insisted that I should be tactful and avoid suspicion, fearing that I might hear something wrong with the plan and stop it. If I dared to complain, you should have rejected him at that time."

There was a hint of shame between Gu Mengzhen's brows.

"It is true that I was careless."

"From now on, if he offers advice again, I will not let you avoid it."

"Without you to discuss this, we wouldn't have suffered such a disastrous defeat today."

"I worked so hard, but ended up making wedding clothes for others. Now thinking about it, it's really ridiculous."

Having said this, he laughed at himself twice.

"If you hadn't spoken up in time on the day of the flower viewing banquet, I would have punished Fengzhe instead. Now, even he would be relieved."

"Only I was played around by him like an actor."

Fang Zhixuan followed with a smile and turned to comfort her again.

"My brother has punished me, so I can vent my anger."

"Children are naughty. You and I are elders. Adults should not bear grudges. Just treat it as playing with them."

After hearing what he said, Gu Mengzhen felt warmed in the heart and all his worries disappeared.

"He is not being naughty, he is clearly committing treason, but you are so open-minded that you just laugh it off."

"That's good. Thinking about it this way, I feel much more comfortable."

Fang Zhixuan smiled tenderly.

"My royal brother is kind and generous, and has a broad mind. I, your humble servant, cannot compare to him."

"What I said was just a casual chat. As long as you don't mind my nagging, it's fine."

Gu Mengzhen smiled faintly, then gradually became serious.

"Let me discuss the matter objectively. Fengzhe's actions show that he is loyal to Prince Chen and follows Prince Li. He even shows signs of helping Prince Dijin."

"In my opinion, who is Fengzhe's heart set on?"

The corners of Fang Zhixuan's mouth slowly rose, like ripples in a clear spring, and he smiled delicately.

"I am a clumsy person, how can I understand Fengzhe's profound intentions?"

"My brother is making fun of me."

Gu Mengzhen sighed helplessly.

"Ugh."

"He really is thoughtful."

"Intelligence is rare."

"Although I gained nothing from this plot, I am still safe and sound. This shows that he has no intention of harming me, and he does not necessarily have any ulterior motives."

"I cherish the inheritance of peace and order and appoint talented people to important posts. I am unwilling to give it up."

"Be careful next time, that's all. Let him stay by your side."

Fang Zhixuan nodded in response.

"I think this is very good."

Water birds are flying on the lake, and under the blue sky and white clouds, the Dijin Palace and Yuexi Palace complement each other.

Upon hearing that Ning Yunxi had returned after being cleared of all charges, Yan Yu came to her house in person and said that he had prepared a surprise and asked her to go to Prince Dijin's mansion with him.

Guessing that the next scene would be a meeting between father and daughter, Ning Yunxi accepted the invitation.

In order to prevent her brother from getting suspicious and realizing that they had already recognized each other as father and daughter, she had already prepared herself to be moved in her heart, just waiting for the right moment.

When they arrived at the gate of Prince Dijin's mansion, Yan Yu made a request to blindfold her with a cloth.

Ning Yunxi smiled and did not refuse.

Then, he supported me all the way to the door of the guest room, where I stepped over the threshold and entered the room.

After closing the door, Yan Yu helped her untie the cloth strips.

Ning Yunxi got into the mood and started acting.

"father……"

The words were on the tip of his tongue, but before he could utter them, he saw Zhuang Shao standing in front of him, his face full of worry and embarrassment.

She couldn't help but be shocked.

"uncle……"

After hesitating to speak twice, he fell silent. In an instant, many thoughts flashed through his mind.

What do you mean?

Mr. Zhuang became my father?

How is this possible?

Is there any loophole in my plan?

In the letter I wrote to my father, I recorded almost every detail of the plan, even what he might say, I wrote down word for word.

Even if Daddy is simple and innocent and doesn't know how to scheme, it's impossible for such an outrageous thing to happen, right?

What went wrong here?

Seeing her first shocked and then stunned, Yan Yu didn't think much about it and just thought it was because she was too surprised.

Then he smiled happily, corrected her, and introduced her.

"He is not your uncle, but your uncle, Fang Zhixuan."

Ning Yunxi was caught off guard and shocked by the bolt from the blue.

"uncle?!"

"Cough cough cough..."

"You said he is my uncle?"

This reaction was both surprising and genuine, and Yan Yu smiled with satisfaction.

"Yeah, how about this surprise?"

She was indeed shocked, but she didn't know why she was so happy. Ning Yunxi seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"But he..."

As he spoke, he looked towards Zhuang Shao, his eyes filled with confusion, helplessness, and increasing surprise.

Zhuang Shao also felt like there was something stuck in his throat, and he looked so sad that he couldn't smile.

"I said I'm not..."

"Denied several times..."

"But the prince doesn't believe it..."

After hearing this, Ning Yunxi felt helpless.

"How could you think, brother, that he is my uncle?"

"Have you done a paternity test?"

"But I remember my brother said that the identification results between collateral relatives may not be accurate."

"Something must have gone wrong."

Yan Yu was stunned at first, failing to understand the meaning of her words in time, but after thinking about it, he quickly understood.

"I didn't expect you to know about this as soon as you walked out of the Tongshitai."

"I think Alliance Leader Bai sent someone to tell you, right?"

"He wants you to cooperate in the play and continue to implement the plan from that year."

"Alas, I've already told you it's dangerous and unnecessary, why is he so persistent?"

Ning Yunxi just felt confused.

"I don't know anything."

"What is it that you are referring to, brother?"

"What's the plan?"

Is this still her strategy?

Why does it sound so strange?

What did Daddy do?
