Chapter 179 That’s it
The vines, green bamboos, and rocks are dotted around, and the wind makes a melodious sound. Huixinju is very elegant and spectacular.
Wearing jade hairpins, pearl flowers, brocade silks, Feng Yihe came with a graceful smile and performed a simple greeting.
"Brother, I'm here again."
Ning Fengzhe was changing his brocade robe and just came out from the inner room. When he heard her call him "Royal brother", he immediately frowned and reminded her in a serious tone.
"Your identity as a princess is a secret. How can you casually announce it?"
"Are you afraid that others don't know that your father took advantage of the chaos to exchange the Feng couple's child?"
Feng Yihe looked around and sat down leisurely.
"There are no outsiders here. Even Wen Jia is not here."
"I know that my brother doesn't like to have people serve him. He even washes and changes clothes by himself."
"By the way, my royal brother imitated the treatment of Xiangzhuyuan and vowed to share weal and woe with your Xi'er. Was it really just a false promise?"
Ning Fengzhe's eyes were sharp and he never smiled.
"You talk too much. There's no need to waste time asking questions that shouldn't be asked."
"I'm not Lin Mu. If you want to find out my feelings, you must have come to the wrong place, right?"
Feng Yihe smiled back happily.
"Yes."
"If it weren't for my royal brother's reminder, I would have almost forgotten it. Brother Mu has been on guard against me several times, leaving me helpless. I haven't thanked my royal brother for helping me arrange an informant so that I can find out about his past."
As he said this, he stood up and bowed.
"Hor'er thanks my brother."
After thanking him, she noticed that his wide-sleeved brocade robe was exactly the clothing regulations for entering the palace, and she was slightly surprised.
"Brother, are you... summoned to the palace?"
Ning Fengzhe walked to the clothes rack, took out a jade pendant, compared it in front of the mirror, and tied it around his waist.
"I was not summoned. I came to the palace to ask for an audience."
"These few days, you came to discuss countermeasures, and I was afraid that you would delay the palace's affairs. What if the emperor's uncle took the opportunity to do something and made father suspicious again? Wouldn't I be caught off guard again?"
"By the way, why are you here again?"
"Hasn't the plan to assassinate King Dijin been discussed?"
Feng Yihe hesitated, with a hint of hesitation.
"Well...I..."
"There should be some details that are not yet complete, right?"
Ning Fengzhe's eyebrows gradually became suspicious. He turned around and looked sideways, cautiously.
"What details?"
Feng Yihe quickly thought of an excuse.
"for example……"
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ning Fengzhe.
"You are using the excuse of discussing countermeasures to help Lin Mu hold me back?"
Feng Yihe waved her hands hurriedly.
"No, no, my royal brother, please understand."
"It is true that we are discussing countermeasures. When the time is right, we will report to our father and you and I will implement it together."
"It's really true!"
Ning Fengzhe's eyes were filled with suspicion, and a hint of anger.
"It's true that we discussed countermeasures, and it's also true that we made a feint to the east and attacked in the west. You were disturbed by your emotions and always turned against me. How can this be justified?"
Feng Yihe pursed his lips.
"Are you still the same?"
"Neither you nor I can say anything about the other."
Ning Fengzhe became even more angry.
"What did you say?"
Feng Yihe walked over casually, and unknowingly, blocked his way.
"I didn't say anything. You are the brother and I am the sister. Only the brother can discipline the sister. I dare not say anything to you."
"I only ask for your help, my brother. Can you wait until your father summons you before entering the palace?"
Ning Fengzhe reminded in a stern tone.
"Don't forget, you are not from the Gao Mansion, and your heart is with the emperor, so how could you be so calculating?"
"Lin Mu has no extra feelings for you, he can only use you."
Feng Yihe put away her pleased expression and looked at him angrily.
"What about her?"
"Does she have any true feelings for you?"
"Not only did she block my father's plan, but she also defected to King Di Jin. Why are you reluctant to kill her?"
Ning Fengzhe looked away with an indifferent tone.
"That's my business."
"I didn't use this to plot against you, so why would you meddle in my business?"
As he spoke, he changed from threatening to questioning.
"Tell me, what strategy did they use?"
Feng Yihe became stubborn.
"I will not say."
Ning Fengzhe was so angry that he was filled with indignation.
"Feng Yihe!"
Feng Yihe was frightened and trembled a little, but still responded bravely.
"My brother is very smart. Just guess it yourself."
She didn't want to say anything, so Ning Fengzhe didn't ask any more questions and gave her orders in a scolding tone.
"Step aside!"
Feng Yihe's momentum softened a bit, and he changed his attitude to one of persuasion.
"I won't let you."
"Wait until your father summons you before entering the palace."
"It's just a little suspicion. Father doesn't believe you, but I do."
"Don't worry, my brother. I will protect you. The next plan will rely on your wisdom and strategy."
Seeing that his brows were furrowed with anger and he showed no sign of being moved by her words, she increased the strength of her arms and tried her best to stop him.
"If you don't care about etiquette and the difference between men and women, just push me."
Ning Fengzhe didn't want to touch it, so he called out.
"Someone is coming."
Feng Yihe responded immediately.
"The people from Huixinju have already been sent away by me."
Ning Fengzhe was startled when he saw the halberd pointing at him.
"you!"
"You are simply unreasonable."
Feng Yihe smiled awkwardly.
"It's better to be safe than sorry."
"I have been learning from my brother since I was a child, and I have studied very hard."
There was no other choice but to push her away with his own hands.
Feng Yihe lost her balance for a moment and almost hit the corner of the table.
"Ah...are you really pushing?"
"You don't have manners anymore?"
"I know what you want to do, just wait a moment, don't leave!"
Hearing her footsteps coming quickly, Ning Fengzhe turned around and warned her.
"Feng Yihe, that's enough!"
"You have done your best to treat Lin Mu. If you dare to ruin my plan, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Return home and reflect on your mistakes."
Feng Yihe cherishes her life, so when she hears this, she naturally feels terrified.
"Yes."
……
After chatting about daily life, Zhuang Xianhui left the palace and returned to the Earl Hongshun's Mansion.
The maid Huaishu came running over in a panic, greeted him and reported impatiently.
"Girl, it's bad, my uncle has been kidnapped!"
"Look, this is a letter from the kidnappers."
Zhuang Xianhui's eyes were filled with worry and she was suddenly startled.
"what?"
As he spoke, he had already taken the letter and looked at it.
Huaishu explained with a sense of self-blame.
"It's all my fault. I mentioned it casually. There's not much tea left in Roujing Pavilion."
"I have something to do and can't spare the time, so my uncle said he would go buy it for me."
"As a result, the son-in-law never came back. Only a person dressed as a commoner came to deliver a letter. When I saw it, I knew that the son-in-law had an accident."
"Girl, what should I do?"
Zhuang Xianhui finished reading the letter and calmed down.
"It's okay. I'll go to the Ningguo Mansion."
Huaishu was stunned and puzzled.
"Young lady, are you going to ask Ningguo Mansion for a ransom?"
Zhuang Xianhui felt helpless after hearing this.
"No."
"My husband is in the Ningguo Mansion. I will go and save him."
Huaishu was even more puzzled.
"Why would someone from the Ningguo Mansion kidnap my son-in-law?"
"I'm afraid the girl has misunderstood?"
Zhuang Xianhui smiled coldly and thought to herself.
It seems that Lord Feng failed to hold him off and was discovered by him.
Haha, he reacted quickly and actually thought of using my husband as a hostage to force me to give in.
"No misunderstanding."
"You don't have to follow me. Just stay in the mansion."
After that, she turned and left, instructing the groom.
"Go to the Ningguo Mansion."
