Chapter 224 Thirst
In the early morning, the mist is shrouded and Zhexi Mountain looks like a fairyland.
Ning Fengzhe still prepared breakfast and waited for Xier to wake up in the morning.
Ning Yunxi tried to escape but always failed, which made her feel frustrated and worried.
I wanted to have a good talk with my elder brother, but instead, I saw a table full of even more sumptuous food.
Her first reaction was still the execution meal, and she thought, this time, the emperor really found Zhu He and got the prescription.
After thinking about it again, she felt something was wrong. Her almond-shaped eyes were shocked and covered with a hint of surprise.
"Could it be that my uncle escaped and my brother was saved?"
Ning Fengzhe sat upright and elegantly, smiling in a casual manner.
"You are quite clever."
"This is my last meal in seclusion. Can you at least accompany me properly for once?"
"The food in front of you was specially prepared by me according to your physical requirements. I started working on it after receiving the news last night."
Ning Yunxi happily sat down, feeling so happy that she could hardly contain herself.
"Yes, yes, I'll eat it right away."
"That's great, brother is finally okay. As expected of my uncle, he actually found a way to get out of this situation."
"The descendant of the Fang clan is worthy of his reputation."
Ning Fengzhe smiled helplessly, with a hint of sadness rising up in his face.
"In order to cook for you, I worked until midnight and only closed my eyes."
"You only have my brother and uncle in your heart, not me, your big brother?"
Ning Yunxi picked up the chopsticks, selected the dish in front of him, and diligently picked up a piece of meat and put it in his bowl.
"Thank you big brother."
Gazing at her smile, which was as genuine and simple as always, Ning Fengzhe felt that he never got tired of seeing it and smiled from the bottom of his heart.
"Xi'er, follow me and submit to my father. I want to be with you... and conspire together."
Ning Yunxi was just focused on eating and didn't pay too much attention to his expression changes.
"I will not follow the emperor, big brother, there is no need to persuade me."
I would rather follow the expectations of Zhe Yunni, which is truly righteous.
"But I said, in this life, I will not change."
"Even so, can't you return to your father?"
Only then did Ning Yunxi realize his eagerness. She slowed down her chopsticks and responded seriously.
"I left him, not entirely because my elder brother had changed."
"In my previous life, before my elder brother changed his personality, I abandoned the emperor and assisted Prince Chen. Because when I followed the emperor, he would always be suspicious of me and plot against me, killing many innocent people."
"Brother, you don't know that in order to seize the Eight Terraces, my hands have been stained with many crimes. Even my brother's trusted ministers, the imperial physician Lord Lin and the bodyguard Lord Gao, were killed by me..."
"Gradually, I couldn't do it anymore, so I turned to help the King. But I didn't know that following him would also implicate innocent people. It's like they have no heart and don't feel any pain."
"In this life, I really don't want to assist them anymore."
"It's not just not wanting to, but also not being able to bear it. In other words, it can also be called incompetence."
"My crude strategies are unlikely to help them achieve higher positions."
Ning Fengzhe's advice was urgent, like a thirsty horse running to the spring.
"One general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of men. It has always been like this. Can't you just regard them as heroic deaths?"
"At worst, we can just give them a proper burial, as long as the victims are not you or me... or our family members."
Ning Yunxi responded firmly.
"I can not do it."
Ning Fengzhe sighed with disappointment on his face.
"OK then."
Ning Yunxi picked up the serving chopsticks beside her and picked up some food for her older brother.
"In fact, the emperor is so cruel not because of his nature, but because of his heart condition."
Ning Fengzhe ate casually, without smiling.
"I remember you said that everyone has heart symptoms, just to varying degrees."
“Medication, diet therapy, lifestyle changes, etc. can alleviate heart symptoms, but if they are not properly alleviated, they can lead to heart disease or even mental disorder.”
Ning Yunxi nodded and explained in detail.
"Yep."
"The emperor's condition is a bit serious, so he has lost some of his conscience."
"I wanted to relieve his pain, but he had too many demands. He even killed innocent people to coax him into drinking a decoction. If he continues to treat me like this, Yuesheng will be destroyed sooner or later."
"In my previous life, my brother discussed with me how to treat the disease. He said that perhaps we could develop a gaseous medicine, control the dosage, ensure that it is colorless and odorless, and evaporate it close to the body, which would guarantee that the disease would be cured in one go."
"During the serious illness, the damage to the heart vessels cannot be restored. So after the emperor recovers, his conscience will be restored. He will not be as kind as when he was born, but he will not be so reckless as to take human life."
"But it's really difficult to research and develop drugs. It may take a while to produce results, or it may never be developed."
"Besides, my brother in this life doesn't know the full picture of the theory of constitution, so he has no way to study it. I am afraid that if I tell him too much about the past life, it will arouse his suspicion, so I think it's better for him to study it himself."
"Now it seems that I still can't do without him. I must find an opportunity to tell him about the theory of physical constitution."
After understanding what she meant, Ning Fengzhe stopped eating with his chopsticks, his eyes filled with surprise.
"I thought that after you took back the country, you would not let my father go."
Ning Yunxi's almond-shaped eyes were pure and she shook her head repeatedly.
"no."
"We schemed only to maneuver the court, and never thought of endangering the emperor's life."
"I have been married into the Prince Chen's Mansion and respectfully call him Father. It has been more than ten years now. I am filial to him, just like my own father. In my opinion, he has long been a family member."
"He grew up with my brother. Although he didn't raise him personally, he showed him a lot of love and care. My brother said that when he was not seriously ill, he was a good person and treated him well."
"We all meant no harm, we just hope he can take care of himself and stay healthy."
It was the first time Ning Fengzhe heard about such a court dispute and was very confused and full of suspicion.
"King Dijin, did you really say that?"
Ning Yunxi's eyes were firm.
"It's true."
Ning Fengzhe was shocked and couldn't believe it.
While meditating, he lowered his eyes and picked up the food, not paying attention to his food, and played with his chopsticks casually.
"Perhaps, these are all King Dijin's lies."
"His intentions were not that kind."
Feeling aggrieved, Ning Yunxi immediately defended her brother.
"No, he's really kind."
"Since he was a child, he had great ambitions. He wanted to save the world and save the people, so he studied medicine hard and spared no effort."
Ning Fengzhe smiled slightly, but there was bitterness on the corners of his mouth.
"Isn't this what you wish for?"
When Ning Yunxi mentioned her brother, she acted as if she had turned a blind eye, and there was no one else in her eyes.
"I don't have the same concern for the world as he does. I started studying medicine just to cure my fifth sister's illness. Later, I gradually fell in love with studying medical theory, and then I had the heart to save the nation and heal the wounded."
Ning Fengzhe looked gloomy, as if he was encountering cold wind and rain.
"Xinglin Hall and Huichun Hall treat patients from poor families without charging any consultation fees."
"You are the only medical clinic in the world that is like this."
"We have the same interests, so we fell in love at first sight?"
Ning Yunxi looked out the window, imagining the picturesque clouds and mist reflecting her brother's immortal body and face, and she smiled sweetly unconsciously.
"For me, it's not love at first sight, but love that lasts for a long time."
"He is so good to me. I regret that we met too late in my previous life. In this life, I hope that he will never let me down."
