Chapter 210 To protect you

Chapter 210 To protect you

Ning Yunxi was startled when he heard this.

"You raised me until I was four?"

"But mother said..."

Ning Fengzhe laughed at himself and interrupted her.

"Do you believe whatever she says?"

Ning Yunxi was speechless for a moment.

"I……"

Ning Fengzhe's eyes were filled with sadness and pain.

"We are mother and son. If she wants to take credit, I won't compete with her."

"If you hadn't asked, I wouldn't have mentioned it."

"I'm not hiding it on purpose. I just feel that if all the efforts are made public, they will lose their original meaning."

"As you said, I also believe that sincere service will always be rewarded. My efforts can be spoken of by you, remembered by you, and even spoken of by others, but I cannot boast about it myself."

"What can I do? You can't feel anything. It's useless for me to do anything or say anything."

A feeling of grievance in her heart withered away, and Ning Yunxi frowned as she tried to defend herself.

"no."

"Originally, I trusted you very much."

"I feel that I should do whatever I can to repay your kindness, but you... betrayed me!"

Ning Fengzhe responded seriously and solemnly.

"You were the first to follow King Di Jin. I have never abandoned you!"

A sense of anticipation arose in her heart, Ning Yunxi frowned angrily and tried to be on guard.

"I know very well that what you said is all false."

"No matter what you do, I will never abandon you, so please don't worry about it."

"You led me up the mountain for an obvious purpose. If you want to kill me, I don't blame you. I know I owe you for raising me. As I said before, I only wish to leave intact. Please, big brother, send me back to Yuexi Mansion."

Ning Fengzhe could see the conflict in her mind from the subtle details.

"What evidence do you have to accuse me of lying?"

As he spoke, his eyes were probing and he asked cautiously.

"Earlier, at the Tongshitai, I felt something strange and wanted to ask you."

"You have... experienced things in the future, right?"

Knowing that she couldn't hide it from him, Ning Yunxi didn't deny it and nodded.

"Yes."

"I was reborn from ten years later."

After getting a positive answer, Ning Fengzhe still found it incredible. He was surprised at the rebirth, and even more surprised at the so-called betrayal.

"In just ten years, I've changed my mind?"

"What happened? Why am I like this?"

When talking about this, Ning Yunxi felt a pang of pain.

"I do not know either."

"In the previous life, after the emperor became seriously ill and Prince Chen took power, you suddenly changed. After Prince Chen ascended the throne, you schemed and guided him to banish me to the cold palace."

"I didn't want to die, but you came to the cold palace in person. You said you felt that father and mother did nothing wrong."

"You still say that it is my own fault that I am stupid, don't blame others for being evil!"

The bone-chilling cold, the oppressive feeling in her heart, and the feeling of helplessness made her burst into tears.

"My elder brother asked, 'Why did you betray me?' That's what I wanted to ask as well."

"You and I are brothers and sisters, and our friendship is known all over the world. How can you bear to betray us?"

The sorrow and beauty came quietly. Ning Fengzhe's ten fingers trembled lightly and he walked away heavily. He picked up the silk and gently wiped her tears.

"I'm sorry, Xi'er..."

"You also said that was in my previous life. In this life, I have never had these malicious intentions."

"Even if you plot against the world, I will not harm you."

"Please believe me, okay? My concern for you is genuine."

Ning Yunxi's almond-shaped eyes were sad, and they covered his sight.

"In my previous life, I was a fugitive and died, wandering in and around Shengjing. At that time, I saw with my own eyes that you decorated the city with lanterns and played drums and music, celebrating the joy of my fifth sister becoming the queen on the day of my death."

"The sad scene is still vivid in my mind. How can I trust you?"

Ning Fengzhe's eyes dimmed, as if covered by dark clouds.

"No wonder you set fire to Prince Chen's mansion, followed Prince Di Jin and left, and never wanted to trust me again."

"In fact, after you got married, I arranged an informant in Prince Chen's mansion. I know that day was the first time Prince Chen favored you. I also know that Zhong Shuyi sent people to protect you secretly, fearing that you would struggle and resist and hurt her beloved son."

"Ning Wanshan still has her uses. That night when the fire broke out, Prince Chen wanted to take her away with him. It was me who stepped in to help you settle the grudge."

"Unfortunately, we cannot touch Prince Chen lightly. We can only let him get away. Otherwise, my father would lose his accomplice and would allow Prince Li to return to the capital."

"My original plan was to capture at least Wutai before releasing King Li. Otherwise, it would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot and handing over the kingdom to him."

"If not, I would just want to vent my anger for you and would definitely throw you and Prince Chen into the sea of ​​fire together."

Huiming felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife. He looked at him and spoke earnestly.

"Xi'er, can you understand? I really have no ill will towards you."

Ning Yunxi left the soft chair and walked away.

"Whether the things you said are true or false, I have no way to verify it."

"If it's true, thank you."

Looking at her back, Ning Fengzhe finally burst into tears.

"Just because of what happened in my past life, you are unwilling to trust me. I feel that I have no way to defend myself."

"What do I have to do for you to believe me?"

Ning Yunxi's lower lip trembled slightly as she spoke what was in her mind.

"If we share the same mind, I will believe you."

The tears in Ning Fengzhe's eyes disappeared in an instant.

"I said it before, there is no way I will follow King Dijin!"

Ning Yunxi turned around with a serious face and advised unwillingly.

"why?"

"Because you assist him, you can't be the emperor?"

"Big brother, forgive me for being blunt, but this country originally belonged to the Yan clan."

"The late emperor's will only allows the emperor to temporarily take over the government. Even if you are a prince, you cannot inherit the throne. The law does not allow it, and the world does not recognize it either."

"Is power so important to you?"

Ning Fengzhe walked to the window, turned his head to face it, and looked into the cold distance.

"Yes."

"With power and position, I can protect you and the people you care about."

"How much sincerity does King Di Jin have towards you?"

"You said that he gave a lot in his previous life, but I think that's because he never got you."

"To him, you are just a woman. A man's feelings for a woman are just so-so, and he will get tired of her."

"You and I are different. I grew up with you. Even though we are not blood relatives, we have a real brother-sister relationship. It is most reliable for me to protect you."

"I followed him, and I might have been treated with courtesy and had great power, but he got tired of you and hurt you. With the imperial power above all else, how can I protect you?"

As he spoke, he changed the subject, his eyes filled with disappointment.

"Even if he is a rare good man in the world and is determined not to abandon me, I cannot help him out of both emotion and reason."

"The relationship between him and me is such that we can't work together."

Ning Yunxi walked away quickly, staring seriously, trying to find out what he was thinking, but she only saw a thick fog.

"Why can't we work together?"

"What is your relationship with him?"

She was anxious and eager, and she tightly grasped his arm through her wide sleeves. It seemed that the arm was meant to hold on to the beauty they once had.

Ning Fengzhe lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on her long bamboo fingers.

"I……"
