Chapter 265: Brother Huang is clear-minded, is he willing to correct his mistakes?

Ning Fengzhe did not compromise on the aftermath, and completed every step without any mistakes before leaving for Gan Dongshan.

Then, he pretended to be embarrassed and went to the palace to ask for an audience.

"I am guilty, I beg you to punish me severely!"

Feng Yihe had entered the palace before him and was now sitting on the side seat.

She said nothing, only looked sharply.

Inadvertently, their eyes met, and with just one glance, they knew each other's intentions.

Feng Yihe's eyes dimmed.

Ning Fengzhe remained calm.

Gu Mengzhen sat calmly on the dragon throne, not noticing anything wrong. He gave a light support and gestured for the man to sit down, looking as calm as usual.

"He'er, tell me all the facts. I know everything. This time the plan failed, and you are not to blame."

"I think Fang Zhixuan said in advance that if King Di Jin saw that you had changed your direction, he would go down the mountain through the secret path and rush to Dongshan to provide reinforcements in time."

"This time, all the guards from the Supervisory Office are out. You are only leading Lord Lou and his men. Even if you risk your life, you will be captured."

"It's not easy for you to save your life in this chaotic situation. As for planning to defeat Fang Zhixuan, how easy is that?"

Ning Fengzhe blamed himself to the core, as if he was in a nightmare and still in the midst of chaos, with a deep fear that followed him like a shadow.

"It's all my fault that I was complacent and wanted to capture Fang Zhixuan alive, which led to my disastrous defeat today."

"Lord Lou and his men all died in order to protect me. Before he died, he told me to live well..."

"This son of yours feels so guilty and does not want to live alone. I beg Your Majesty to grant this son of yours a chance to end his life!"

Feng Yihe noticed something, her eyes were cold and she said nothing.

Gu Mengzhen didn't notice anything unusual, he just felt like he was in the situation and was deeply moved.

"Lord Lou left a will because he knew you would feel guilty and was afraid that you would hurt someone useful."

"They fought hard to save your life. If you really die on impulse, think about it yourself. Is this fair to Lord Lou?"

With every breath, there seemed to be a heart-wrenching pain. Ning Fengzhe felt sad like fallen leaves, lonely and helpless.

"I know what's going on, but...but..."

Gu Mengzhen choked up slightly, his eyes were filled with sorrow, but he still showed a hint of relief and gentle comfort.

"My dear Lords An and Xu, the Emperor's order is here, so we have to go. The imperial guards and the hidden guards have all been transferred. I understand that you only chose Lord Lou to go with you, not out of arrogance, but because you were worried about my safety and left most of them behind on purpose."

"I should thank you for sacrificing your life to protect me."

Ning Fengzhe was depressed and annoyed, his long eyelashes drooped and he fell into endless darkness.

"Father, your words are too great. I, your humble servant, cannot take them seriously."

"I have something on my mind, and I hope your Majesty will fulfill it!"

Gu Mengzhen's eyes were deep and he looked at her sadly.

"You don't have to tell me. I guess what you are talking about is the posthumous title of Lord Lou and his people, right?"

Ning Fengzhe's face turned pale, he was in agony and nodded heavily.

"Father, you are wise. Please grant me your permission!"

Gu Mengzhen responded in a deep voice, with a sense of authority without even getting angry.

"They sacrificed their lives for justice and selflessly, and they deserve a generous reward."

"Tell the outside world that you and Fang Zhixuan went to Dongshan together, and the Liang Alliance came here after hearing the news, intending to besiege King Dijin, but King Dijin changed his destination unexpectedly. So, they turned their attention to Fang Zhixuan, intending to cut off King Dijin's left and right arms. Lord Lou and his guards understood the righteousness of the matter, and spared you two, but all of them died at the hands of the thieves."

"I should have held the Fu Liang League accountable, but the thieves were so sinister that I cleared away the evidence and only had your testimony, which was not enough to convict you."

"Don't worry. I will confer titles upon all of you, my dear Lord Lou, and reward their families generously. I will treat everyone equally and impartially."

Ning Fengzhe stood up from his seat, ignoring the pain, and bowed his head.

"Thank you, Father, for your kindness!"

When the dust settled, Ning Fengzhe walked out of the main hall of Disheng Palace, and Feng Yihe followed closely behind him.

"Master Ning, please stay."

Guessing that there would be an invitation, Ning Fengzhe deliberately walked a few steps slower, and when he heard the call, he smiled.

"What can I do for you, Lord Feng?"

Feng Yihe smiled back politely.

"I was confused when I was reading the other day. I would like to ask Lord Ning to give me some explanations and advice."

Ning Fengzhe understood and followed her to the south courtyard of Gao's mansion.

As soon as he entered the room, Feng Yihe dismissed his attendants, his face gloomy and his eyes defensive.

"Lord Ning returned safe and sound. Was it really because of Lord Lou? I'm afraid he was saved by Prince Dijin."

Of course, she couldn't be fooled by any tricks, Ning Fengzhe nodded and admitted it.

"Since you have predicted it, I cannot deny it."

There was a hint of sneer on Feng Yihe's lips, and her eyes were as sharp as arrows, enough to see through people's hearts.

"Master Ning, do you know why I dared to deceive His Majesty?"

Ning Fengzhe smiled calmly, remained unperturbed, and met her eyes directly.

"I think so. You are willing to give me a chance to reform."

Feng Yihe was as intimidating as an eagle, with a coldness that kept people at a distance.

"Lord Ning is clear-minded, are you willing to correct your mistakes?"

Ning Fengzhe's expression was calm, a little guilty, he looked towards the north and sighed deeply.

"With our identities, we have an unexplained grudge against the Yan Clan. To be honest, I have no other intentions."

"But he took Xi'er as a hostage. I had no choice but to give up Lord Lou."

Feng Yihe pointed out the truth sharply and directly, and was unwilling to believe it.

"Master Ning, you are joking. King Dijin claims to be kind and righteous, so why would he do such a blackmail?"

Ning Fengzhe was as calm as water, without a ripple, and explained calmly, as if everything he said was true.

"He really had no intention of doing this. It was Xi'er's trick that made him do something unjust without realizing it."

Feng Yihe glanced at him with suspicion.

"Princess Yuexi, what's your plan?"

Ning Fengzhe asked slowly.

"It's just a simple plan, and you can't think of it?"

In a blink of an eye, Feng Yihe's plan came to fruition and he looked relieved.

"I see."

"Princess Yuexi is indeed not simple."

Ning Fengzhe was calm and composed, and praised calmly.

"She is so gifted. She has been extremely intelligent since she was young."

Feng Yihe thought about it roughly and came up with an idea.

"Now that things have come to this, it is better to pretend to surrender, lie dormant, and make plans later."

Ning Fengzhe raised his eyebrows, revealing a hint of a dagger hidden in his smile.

"You and I have the same idea."

"Disintegrate from within, and divide them, then great things can be accomplished."

Feng Yihe smiled with a sly look on her face, clapped her hands, and stood up happily.

"That's great. I'll report to the palace right away."

Ning Fengzhe stopped it in time.

"Wait a minute."

"I don't think it's appropriate to report it now."

Feng Yihe looked down at the sharp blade, doubts rising in his eyes.

"Why?"

"You are being secretive. Could it be that you are deliberately not reporting it in order to make it easier for others to plot? It seems that Lord Ning still has his own intentions!"

Ning Fengzhe's smile is gentle and elegant, reserved.

"you misunderstood."

"Father is suspicious. If I am misled by the slander of villains, my plan will fail and my life will be in danger. I'd better wait until the plan is accomplished before reporting to Father."

"Don't worry. I will consult you before I make any plans, as usual. You will know if I have any ill intentions at a glance."

Feng Yihe still had doubts and gave the warning indifferently.

"Okay, it's a deal. Lord Ning, please remember not to act alone!"

Ning Fengzhe nodded.

"Well, it's a deal."

After saying this, he stood up and turned his back, with a subtle and profound smile in his eyes.

"Then I'll go. I'll come back to discuss a plan with you. Goodbye."

Feng Yihe called out to stop him.

"Please slow down."

Ning Fengzhe looked back, his expression as calm as before.

"What's the matter?"

Feng Yihe was filled with murderous intent and left like a raging whirlwind.

"After all, En has saved lives. Are you sure this is a false surrender?"

"Why do I think you are following me sincerely?"
