Chapter 192 It’s better to follow this king
The Prince Chen's Palace is decorated with carved railings and jade bricks, and at a glance, it is all golden and magnificent.
After being in a coma for several days, Gu Nianting just woke up last night. He still feels tired today and has not recovered yet.
He stretched lazily, and then heard Wu Yan come to report that Miss Zhuang San wanted to see him.
Gu Nianting was stunned.
"Zhuang Xianhui?"
"Did she come alone?"
Wu Yan replied.
"Yes."
Gu Nianting was surprised again.
"what?"
"Why are you visiting me? I have never seen her alone, have I?"
"What does Father want to do?"
"That's not right. Father values Zhuang Wei so much, why would he send her here to plot something?"
Wu Yan reminded weakly.
"Did Your Majesty forget? Her father's real identity is Fang Zhixuan."
Gu Nianting suddenly came to his senses.
"Yes, yes, yes, the king was confused in his sleep."
"Logically speaking, she is not my father's person."
Then, another question to myself.
"What does the emperor want to do now?"
Wu Yan responded respectfully.
"I am a stupid subordinate, but please pay attention, Your Majesty."
Gu Nianting sat in the main seat with a strong posture and an arrogant attitude.
"please."
"I want to see what she wants to do."
Wu Yan responded and went to invite her in. After a while, Zhuang Xianhui walked in.
"Your Highness is well."
After a brief greeting, she chose a comfortable chair and sat down without asking for permission.
Gu Nianting forced a smile.
"You are still so arrogant and unyielding. You rely on your father's favor and act as you please."
"In the past, when I was still a prince, you were rude and neglectful to my mother because of her low status. That was understandable. But now, I am a prince and the adopted son of the concubine. How dare you, a mere lady, be so arrogant?"
"Do you still need me to teach you all the rules?"
Zhuang Xianhui reached into her sleeve, took out a jade pendant and placed it on the coffee table in front of her.
"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you."
"Do you recognize this jade pendant?"
Gu Nianting lowered his eyes slightly and took a quick look.
"It seems to be... the jade pendant that Lord Xu, the Minister of Copper Affairs, wears?"
Zhuang Xianhui nodded in affirmation and asked the question casually.
"Are you interested in the plan to wipe out the Xu family?"
There was a hint of anticipation in Gu Nianting's eyes as he stared wide open.
"Destroy the entire Xu clan?!"
"Why is that so?"
"Are you doing this for your father or your uncle?"
Zhuang Xianhui frowned in disbelief.
"How could working for the emperor lead to the extermination of the Xu family?"
"Are you stupid?"
So rude again, Gu Nianting lowered his lips, full of displeasure.
"So you are doing this for the Emperor's uncle?"
Zhuang Xianhui responded unhappily.
"Why ask?"
"What I say may not be true. Even if I tell the truth, you may not believe it."
"Just say it, will you do it?"
Gu Nianting agreed without hesitation.
"Do."
"Someone is offering advice, why wouldn't I do it?"
"Tell me, what should I do?"
When it came to business, Zhuang Xianhui became serious and explained every word in detail.
"Find someone to imitate Xu Mingqian's handwriting and write a letter to the leader of the Liang Restoration Alliance. Tell them to continue to rob military rations and exchange them for silver, and split the loot in half. Remember to include this jade pendant as a token of trust."
"After that, when Feng Zhengtai escorted the military rations, he had to pretend that they were being robbed, and then he could quietly send them to the border."
"Put the letters and tokens in the place where they were robbed, pretending that they were accidentally left behind by someone who was trying to restore the Liang Alliance."
"In this way, all the military rations that were robbed in the past can be blamed on Xu Mingqian. He will be punished for multiple crimes and it will be enough to bring disaster to the whole family."
There was a hint of fear in Gu Nianting's eyes, the waves were stunned, and there was a violent storm and huge waves.
"The Restoration Alliance gathers the people from all over the world who secretly support the restoration of Xingliang. If you frame me with this, not only will it bring disaster to the whole family, but the Xu and Leng clans will all be infamous for eternity!"
“You are too cruel.”
"Did Xu Mingqian dig up your Fang family's ancestral grave?"
Zhuang Xianhui was frowning and unhappy.
"No."
Gu Nianting observed his words and expressions and asked Wei Yi only one question.
"Really angry?"
Zhuang Xianhui then became impatient.
"What are you talking about? Go find someone quickly. I'm leaving now."
Seeing her stand up, Gu Nianting hurriedly called out to her.
"Slow down."
"Since the military rations have been looted, why should they be sent to the border? Can't I keep them for my own use?"
Zhuang Xianhui was shocked when she heard this.
"You embezzle military rations, and you still have a chance to survive? What are you thinking?"
His expectations were dashed and Gu Nianting pretended to deny it.
"You misunderstood. This king is not greedy."
"I mean, after sending them to the border, Father will check and find out that the military rations have not been robbed. How can we then blame the Xu clan?"
Zhuang Xianhui had no patience when facing him.
"The border is full of people from the Supervisory Office. What are you worried about?"
"I will let them keep it secret for the time being."
"This is a way out. If Xu Mingqian changes his confession and traces the case back to us, we can ask the Supervisory Office to come forward and tell us that the calculation was wrong. In fact, the military rations were delivered in full and were not robbed. It is estimated that this is just a prank by the Liang Restoration Alliance."
Gu Nianting couldn't think of this and smiled suddenly.
"I see."
"Father will think that the Restoration of Liang Alliance is a warning to us. If we are really corrupt and the court finds evidence, all the brothers in the alliance will be in danger."
As he said this, he smacked his lips twice as a compliment.
"They conspired for no reason and made me so angry. I am already angry about this matter. With your plan, I can vent my anger."
"It's a pity that there is no way to deal with the emperor's uncle."
"How about this? If Xu Mingqian changes his confession, we can accuse the uncle of embezzling military rations and say that he was the mastermind behind all this..."
Hearing something wrong in the words, Zhuang Xianhui frowned in threat, her anger raging.
"If you do anything unexpected, I won't let you go."
"The Xu clan is an example. Do you want to experience the feeling of being disgraced and dying?"
Gu Nianting tried to save face, but still couldn't hide his fear.
"What are you talking about? I was just joking."
"I didn't realize you were so smart before. I thought there were exceptions among the descendants of the Fang clan. I didn't expect you to be good at hiding your sword."
"The talents of the Fang clan are well-deserved. It seems that Zhuang Jilang is also true."
Having said this, he gave a flattering smile and took the initiative to invite.
"In fact, there is no need for you Fang Clan to assist the Emperor's uncle, why not follow me?"
Zhuang Xianhui stared at him and sneered from her throat.
"Do you think we like you?"
Gu Nianting was secretly dissatisfied, but he still tried to please her on the surface.
"I know that you care about Xi'er, and she will remarry me sooner or later. If you follow me in advance, all the favors you receive will be the best, and I will never treat you unfairly."
Zhuang Xianhui rolled her eyes, got up and left.
"Farewell."
Gu Nianting was unwilling to give up, and before she went far, he asked a few more words.
"You are the youngest daughter in the family. How can you arbitrarily decide the fate of your elders?"
"Go back and ask your family, what if they are willing to follow me?"
"Madam Ning framed you for passing off fake things as real things. This prince was completely unaware of it and had no involvement at all."
"Xi'er will really remarry me."
"Remember this, don't forget to ask this question for me..."
