Chapter 172 1 Find out
I originally thought Ning Yunxi would avoid meeting him, but unexpectedly, she not only agreed to meet him, but also intentionally or unintentionally set the meeting place in the guest room.
The situation was unexpected and Mu Rong was shocked.
Ning Yunxi is... willing to risk herself in order to lure him into the game?
Seeing this, Gu Nianting became even more self-righteous. He turned to look at Mu Rong and raised his eyebrows to show off.
"The facts are proven. Do you have any objections, aunt?"
"As soon as I saw Yao Fang, I knew that she followed King Di Jin in a false way."
Mu Rong was still trying to wake him up.
"If you were pretending to surrender, why did you send an incomplete prescription?"
Gu Nianting couldn't figure it out, but he was confident.
"If you are not pretending to surrender, why would you send the prescription?"
"Doctor Zhu said that if we think about it carefully, we can get a complete prescription."
"Such an action shows that she still misses me and her love for me has not diminished."
"And the fact that I was able to escape unscathed from the Cisha Mountain incident means that she was willing to protect me. Didn't you all say that if she had gone all out, I would have been beheaded?"
Mu Rong was tired of reminding and lacked patience.
"But previously, the prince analyzed that he was able to escape unscathed, firstly because he had arranged a proper retreat route, and secondly because Prince Di Jin had a conflict with her, and she really couldn't take care of it."
Gu Nianting raised his chin slightly, looking arrogant.
"Now it seems that I have a different opinion."
"She must have deliberately caused the conflict to divert attention and prevent King Dijin from sending people to pursue the victory."
"Afterwards, she walked out of Zhaoyi Palace safely, and we knew that they didn't really have any grudges against each other."
Seeing him like this, Mu Rong was filled with disbelief.
"She was playing with us."
Gu Nianting smiled proudly.
"Aunt, this argument doesn't make sense at all."
"King Dijin is playing with us with his own life. How can there be such a prank in the world?"
"According to Auntie, is this prescription also meant as a joke?"
"As long as I can come up with a complete prescription, I can obtain the secret platform."
"She gave me the whole world just to tease me. Why wouldn't I do such a tease? My aunt is too prejudiced against her."
Mu Rong's face turned pale, unable to understand.
“This has nothing to do with prejudice, right?”
Gu Nianting was proud of his abilities and spoke with emotion.
"You see, you admit your prejudice, don't you?"
"She is your biological daughter, but you treat her worse than the fourth daughter of Ning. You treat your biological daughter like a worn-out shoe, but you treat your adopted daughter like a treasure. How can you be so unreasonable?"
"After returning home, Auntie must reflect on this and make corrections carefully. Xi'er is both extremely talented and resourceful, while the fourth daughter of Ning is ignorant and unskilled. There is a huge difference between the two. Who should be favored and who should not be favored? Do you still need me to teach you?"
Whenever she encountered such a situation, Mu Rong would feel regretful and couldn't help but want to tell the world that Ning Yunxi was not her biological daughter at all, but Wei'er was her beloved daughter.
However, due to the circumstances, he could not lose his temper even if his beloved daughter was ridiculed and laughed at.
Mu Rong frowned, slightly displeased.
"Isn't Wei'er unlearned?"
Gu Nianting didn't care about her emotions and just kept looking down on her.
"Aunt, do you think the words are inappropriate? This is a respectful expression. Please give her some face for the sake of your uncle."
"She is actually ignorant and foolish, and is not worthy of being compared with Xi'er. If I were to live like her, I would have been ashamed long ago."
Having said this, Mu Rong was secretly furious.
Who the hell are you to ridicule my Wei'er?
Since you insist on falling into the trap, I won't try to persuade you anymore.
Even if I defeat you, it won't affect my retreat.
I'm just too lazy to change the master, and it's not that there are no other suitable princes.
By supporting others, Fengzhe can also take power over the world.
After thinking about it, I won’t persuade him any more.
"Well, thank you for your advice, Your Majesty."
Ning Yunxi stopped outside the door and listened to them until they finished talking before she pretended to be late and apologized with a smile.
"I was unable to come to see you in time because there was something in the mansion that needed to be dealt with urgently. I did not mean to be rude and keep His Royal Highness Prince Chen waiting for so long."
As he said this, he turned his gaze to Mu Rong and pretended to be surprised.
"Mother is here too?"
"The child greets his mother."
Hearing the change in address, Gu Nianting was even more imaginative. He smiled foolishly and changed the address as well.
"I just arrived not long ago, and I didn't notice the wait. Xi'er, don't blame yourself."
Ning Yunxi smiled back, looked around, and gestured for him to sit down.
"My meaning is simple and easy to understand. It is impossible for Your Majesty not to understand it. Why did you come to see me?"
"The Prince Dijin's Palace is adjacent to Yuexi's Palace. If he notices something strange, how can I stay hidden there and serve the prince?"
Gu Nianting happily reached out his hand, wanting to touch her slender jade fingers.
"Of course I understand, but Madam Ning doesn't believe it."
Ning Yunxi signaled with her eyes, glanced at Mu Rong, and withdrew her jade hand, refusing to touch him.
"I hope Your Majesty is serious. Mother is still here."
Contrary to expectations, Gu Nianting glanced at Mu Rong with disgust.
Mu Rong was polite on the surface, but she was angry inside.
Are you stunned?
What does it have to do with me if you can't touch her?
Madam Ning? Even the title has been changed.
Do you want to ask for permission to annul the adoption relationship?
It's weird that he disregarded everything in order to marry her. Isn't he in love with Ning Wanshan?
He is so fickle and inconsistent. He is simply disgusting.
Did you want to marry Wei'er before?
A rat is worthy of this?!
When Gu Nianting turned around and looked at Ning Yunxi, his face immediately broke into a smile.
"If you were pretending to surrender, why didn't you say so earlier?"
Ning Yunxi's lips were soft and she smiled sweetly.
"I humbly believe that Your Highness is free and straightforward, and doesn't know how to disguise himself, so it's easy for him to be exposed. Even if Your Highness is talented enough to cooperate with the plan, I can't bear to see Your Highness suffer."
"I thought about it carefully, so I kept silent."
"I will only pass on the news to the prince when the time is right after I succeed in gaining his trust."
Gu Nianting sighed with a hint of heartache.
"It's all my fault. I didn't understand your meaning in time. The incident at Cisha Mountain almost caused you to lose your life."
Ning Yunxi's every frown and smile was as gentle as the morning glow.
"Your Majesty, your words are wrong."
"Only if the prince is truly sincere in framing him, will King Di Jin be willing to trust him. I think Ci Shashan's plan is just right."
"I was able to accomplish this thanks to the prince's planning."
Gu Nianting's peach-shaped eyes looked around proudly, as if he already controlled the world.
"I wish I could help you."
"I thought you had really abandoned me and left."
"By the way, why did you send an incomplete prescription?"
Ning Yunxi lowered her eyebrows and smiled.
"I feel ashamed when I talk about this."
"I originally wanted to wait until the time was right to help the prince and seize the secret office in one fell swoop, but I haven't used it for a long time and I have forgotten the prescription."
"I have carefully thought about it and have done my best to restore it. For the rest, I can only ask Your Majesty to find another way."
Gu Nianting nodded and smiled.
"okay."
After he finished speaking, he fake coughed a few times to remind Mu Rong that if she was sure, she could avoid it.
Mu Rong originally didn't want to care about it anymore, so when she heard the fake cough, she naturally understood and stood up.
"I suddenly remembered something that cannot be delayed. I will take my leave now."
After saying that, without any extra politeness, he turned around and left.
After watching her leave and making sure she left, Gu Nianting asked the question.
"So the fire in Prince Chen's Mansion was also caused by you on purpose?"
"Well, you can just pretend, but why did you really destroy me?"
Afraid that he would reach out again, Ning Yunxi moved a step away coquettishly.
"How can a little girl not be jealous? I'm afraid that the prince will forget the old one if he finds a new love."
"When I return home, I will treat the prince and he will be fully recovered in a few days."
Seeing her shy and charming expression, Gu Nianting couldn't help but stand up and move closer to her, looking down at her and pinning her down on her seat.
His peach eyes were full of affection, and he leaned close to her ear, whispering softly.
"You should treat it now."
"I still have some doubts and want to find out the truth..."
