Chapter 277 Why are you here?

Chapter 277 Why are you here?

Qiu Bi returned to Gao's house and reported the situation to Gao Nan, explaining that Ning Jiewei had left and would never return.

Gao Nan sent someone to inquire about the news and learned that Ning Jiewei was taken away by Su Ding and was already in Prince Chen's Mansion.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Bi became worried and pale.

"The fourth girl is weak, how can she stay in such a troubled place for long? Is she really sick?"

Gao Nan's face was intimidating even without him getting angry.

"There is no way to find out the specific situation."

He pondered for a moment, guessed Ning Fengzhe's inner thoughts, and then analyzed.

"After all, she is your biological sister. Lord Ning should show some mercy and not be too cruel. Maybe he just wanted to prevent her from getting in the way, so he found a room and locked her in."

Based on their usual experiences together, Qiu Bi sighed in frustration.

"In his heart, how can there be any blood relationship? The fourth girl might have been in trouble."

Seeing his daughter's low voice, Gao Nan couldn't help but feel distressed. He tried to show some tenderness and responded softly.

"Don't worry. Isn't Lord Xiaolin also in Prince Chen's mansion? The princess is on good terms with him, and he will definitely come to the rescue."

Feeling a touch of fatherly love, Qiu Bi smiled with relief.

"Well, thank you for your comfort, father."

Thinking of Ning Fengzhe's eager eyes, Gao Nan stood up and turned serious. He gripped the sword at his waist tightly with the strength of moving a mountain.

"The most urgent thing is to stop Lord Ning from seeking to see the prince. I will go to Prince Dijin's mansion and tell the soldiers and guards to refuse entry and not allow him to report!"

Qiu Bi stood up, took a step forward and supported her father.

"The child will accompany you."

Gao Nan turned his head to look at his daughter and smiled deeply.

"Well, let's go."

The lilac in the flowerpot fills the room with fragrance. Zhuang Shao takes good care of it and cherishes it like a treasure.

Thinking about his brother-in-law asking him to find out about the prince's pursuit of the man in black, Zhuang Shao glanced at the time, put down the scissors, and changed his clothes.

Just as he was about to leave, he heard a servant come to report that Lord Ning, the governor and the chancellor, wanted to see him.

"What is he here for?"

Zhuang Shao gave a puzzled sound, slowly sat back in his seat, thought for a moment, and nodded.

"welcome."

While the tea was being poured, Ning Fengzhe walked in and bowed solemnly.

"I wish you all the best, uncle."

Having lived in the secret room for a long time, Zhuang Shao was used to being self-reliant and not having anyone to serve him. When he changed his clothes, he would have dismissed his attendants.

Seeing him salute, Zhuang Shao glanced at him and sat there quietly, indifferent.

"I am Fang Zhixuan. When did I become your uncle?"

"Master Ning, is there something wrong?"

Ning Fengzhe knelt on both knees, bowed his head and performed a great salute.

"I rushed to Gandong Mountain just to save my uncle's life. I know I was wrong, and I beg my uncle to forgive me."

Zhuang Shao held a fruit knife and pretended to be a vicious person. He thought he was extremely cold and frightening.

"Your Majesty is kind and righteous, and was easily persuaded by your few words; I am cruel and don't know how to write the word forgiveness. I only know that the sight of the body and head being separated is very beautiful."

Seeing his awkward behavior, Ning Fengzhe couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth and smiled secretly.

"I know very well that the emperor's uncle is not a sinister person."

Thinking he was being laughed at, Zhuang Shao angrily slammed the fruit knife on the table.

"You should know that Brother Gu and I are of the same lineage. He is cruel and ruthless, and I am also cold-hearted. We will use any means to deal with those who do not cooperate with us!"

Ning Fengzhe smiled in surprise.

"The emperor's uncle finally admitted his identity?"

Zhuang Shao glared at him sideways, extremely angry.

"I don't want to talk to you any more. It's meaningless."

"I have already responded to your matter. I cannot forgive you."

"go out!"

Ning Fengzhe put away his smile and responded seriously.

"I have something else to tell my uncle."

Zhuang Shao turned his eyes away unhappily, but he cooperated.

"Say!"

The emperor's uncle did not allow him to stand up, but Ning Fengzhe remained kneeling, stern and serious, explaining things seriously.

"When the prince was shielding me from the arrow, he looked up into the sky and said to himself, 'It's him,' but he didn't say who he was."

Zhuang Shao's pupils trembled and he felt guilty.

"Whoever he is, what does it have to do with you?"

Ning Fengzhe tried to be as friendly as possible and continued to speak.

"In the past two days, the Supervisory Office has made some moves. I have heard that it seems that they are tracking down the informant under the order of the prince."

Zhuang Shao frowned in displeasure.

"so what?"

"Who told you to arrange informants? There is a constant stream of them. Your Majesty is acting cautiously and trying to protect himself. What's the problem?"

Ning Fengzhe spoke in a gentle tone and was humble and polite.

"I didn't know what the problem was until I secretly investigated and found out the real reason why Zhong Jian was convicted."

Zhuang Shao was puzzled.

"Zhong Jian, what do you have to do with this?"

Ning Fengzhe spoke calmly and slowly, explaining the details.

"On the night when Emperor Mu temporarily entrusted his kingdom to my father, a man in black shot an arrow and nearly killed my father. The prince used a clever trick to make my father think that the man in black was Zhong Jian, so the Zhong and Yao clans were tragically exterminated."

"I didn't see it with my own eyes, so I don't know what happened that night; but I saw the situation the day before with my own eyes."

"The formation set up by the emperor's uncle had only one flaw. I was sitting quietly inside, which should have been safe, but I didn't expect that this person would have a way to break the situation. If he wasn't a man who could shoot arrows with both hands, how could he have aimed an arrow directly at my heart?"

As he listened, Zhuang Shao began to sweat profusely and became confused.

"You...what exactly do you want to say?"

Ning Fengzhe was straightforward and spoke the truth in one sentence.

"Looking at the whole world, it seems that no one can do it so perfectly, unless... the Chief Supervisor Yun Boyu is still alive!"

Zhuang Shao pointed tremblingly, feeling as if sitting on pins and needles.

"you you you……"

Ning Fengzhe had already fully figured it out and explained it all without reservation.

"I heard from the prince that Xi'er's biological father's surname is Bai. Could he be Yun Baiyu?"

A drop of sweat slid down and seeped into his right eye. Zhuang Shao felt a stinging pain and quickly closed his eyes and rubbed them gently.

"The last name is Bai, the last name is Yun, can't you tell them apart?"

Ning Fengzhe stood up and took a towel, wet it with a basin of clean water, and presented it to the emperor's uncle with both hands.

"Yun Baiyu, using the alias Bai Nianren, founded the Nianren League as a commoner and has been in hiding for many years, isn't that right?"

Zhuang Shao was unwilling to take his towel. He snorted coldly and denied it harshly.

"no!"

Thinking that he might still look hideous, Ning Fengzhe smiled amiably and wiped the right eye for his uncle meticulously.

"Uncle, please don't misunderstand me. I am not here to expose you."

Feeling his concern, Zhuang Shao felt it was hypocrisy and did not appreciate his kindness, so he pushed him away.

"Then why are you here?!"

Ning Fengzhe was neither anxious nor impatient. He knelt down again, showing great respect and sincerity.

"Your Highness has conducted a thorough investigation. Yu Xier is in trouble. By the time she escapes, it may be too late to save the situation."

"I am a humble nephew, but I am here to offer some advice. I beg the Emperor to trust me!"

Upon hearing the unexpected joy, Zhuang Shao's expression of disgust disappeared and he was stunned and confused.

"You? Offer advice?"

"You only know how to add insult to injury and use mockery to wait for the prince to become suspicious of us, so that you can naturally control the situation. How can you offer advice out of kindness?"

Thinking it would do no harm to listen, he asked leisurely.

"What's the plan? Tell me."

Ning Fengzhe's words were like the gentle spring breeze, with warmth in its superficial meaning and sincerity in its deep meaning.

After hearing his plan, Zhuang Shao was delighted. He stretched out his hands and helped him up personally.

"So you really want to surrender!"

Ning Fengzhe stood up happily and stood respectfully.

"Let's save all the words for later. Let's go solve the urgent problem of Alliance Leader Bai first."

"Uncle, please."
