Chapter 282 I feel even more guilty

When Yan Yu first heard about this and took the evidence, her starry eyes were still filled with disbelief.

"Okay, let me take a look."

Gao Jing got used to it as if it was natural, so he looked over.

Since it concerned his cousin, he looked at it particularly carefully. The more he confirmed it, the more indignant he became. He then knelt on his knees and pleaded heartily.

"When I was born, my cousin had passed away nine days ago. Although I have never met her, I have heard a lot about her past."

"My cousin was not old enough to take the imperial examination, but she was rewarded by the emperor and was personally appointed as the Minister of Defense. Qing'e is a young woman who is the best in ancient and modern times to guard a place. On the battlefield, she defeated powerful enemies and made great military achievements; on the border, she established her prestige, enough to make the enemy generals of Xingliang flee at the sight of her."

"Who would have thought that a beautiful woman would have such a tragic fate?"

"Uncle and aunt have been crying since they heard the bad news. Your Majesty has also seen the tragic scene. Whenever I look at them from afar, I feel heartbroken. I thought Xingliang had been eliminated and the great revenge had been taken, but I didn't expect that there are still such villains living happily!"

"I beg you, my Lord, to allow me to kill the thief and avenge my cousin personally!"

Yan Yu felt something was amiss and asked another question.

"Would you like to try it out and see how good his archery skills are?"

Gao Jing's doubts disappeared and he made a prompt decision.

"The evidence is irrefutable, why try again?"

Seeing that the prince was hesitant, Ning Fengzhe immediately advised him.

"Lord Mu is ready to make a move and may return at any time. I think what Lord Gao said is absolutely right. If we miss the opportunity, things will change. Please make a decision as soon as possible, Your Majesty."

After receiving Ning Fengzhe's eye signal, Zhuang Shao followed suit and spoke.

"Wei Chen seconded the proposal."

Yan Yu no longer hesitated and nodded in agreement.

"okay."

"Your Majesty, you still don't know that I have memories from my early years. That's why I was able to use the incident of the man in black to deal with the Zhong and Yao clans. In my opinion, it's not appropriate to make the killing of Mu Liao public, lest your Majesty notice something's wrong and redress the injustice for the Zhong clan. Then, the remaining power of the Zhong clan will be used by him, and your plan will almost fail."

Dressed in brocade and elegant attire, with an extraordinary bearing, Ning Fengzhe looked calm and composed as he made a respectful suggestion.

"Your Highness has thought it through. This matter really shouldn't be made public. How about asking Lord Gao to sneak into the Mu Mansion and kill Mu Liao quietly? What do you think?"

Yan Yumiao was a little worried.

"After all, he is my brother's man. Gao Jing is reckless and impulsive. If he accidentally leaves traces, my brother will definitely not let him go."

Ning Fengzhe casually took off the sachet from his waist, showed respect, and presented it to Gao Jing.

"This is my personal scent sachet. Sir Gao, please place it next to Mu Liao."

Gao Jing was surprised and hesitated, not daring to reach out to take it.

"Ah? This..."

Yan Yu was stunned and became even more worried.

"Why is this happening, Ning Aiqing? Doesn't it make people think that Mu Liao was harmed by you?"

I would rather follow Zhe and smile calmly, still feeling warm as the evening approaches.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I intend to lie low and have other plans."

"With this sachet present, even if Lord Gao leaves traces, he will live and die with me. No matter what happens, I will do my best to protect him."

As if basking in the dawn light, Gao Jing felt delighted and deeply moved. He took the sachet with both hands, which were deeply shocked and trembled continuously.

"Thank you, Lord Ning, for your kindness."

Ning Fengzhe has a face as white as jade and a soft blush on it.

"Mr. Gao is too polite. In fact, I should thank you for saving my life."

Gao Jing felt uneasy and introspective and self-blaming.

"Lord Ning is so loyal, but I was full of doubts. Now that I think about it, I feel ashamed."

Ning Fengzhe has an open mind, just like a mountain stream, murmuring and clear.

"Feng Yihe allowed Lord Gao Nan and his daughter to hide outside the window and listen quietly, leading me to say something inappropriate, intentionally creating discord. It was understandable that several Lords Gao fell into the trap, and they are not to blame."

Gao Jing was startled, his brows full of heroic spirit froze and looked a little wooden.

"So you knew that my second uncle and cousin were eavesdropping outside. How dare you act as you please and speak so recklessly? Aren't you afraid that we will become suspicious?"

Ning Fengzhe smiled generously.

"I believe that you are not people who cannot distinguish between good and evil."

Gao Jingjin's eyes widened, feeling ashamed.

"Now that you say that, I feel even more guilty."

"I also want to thank you for finding the real murderer for my cousin and helping us to avenge our hatred."

Ning Fengzhe has a humble look and a kind look, and he is a man of high moral integrity.

"It's only natural. No need to thank me."

Yan Yu turned to Gao Jing and smiled faintly.

"It's good to clear up the misunderstanding. Ning Aiqing is upright and knows the big picture. How could you doubt him?"

"Go quickly while the night is still bright, and be careful."

Gao Jing did not even look at him, but responded respectfully and left after receiving the order.

"Yes."

Ning Fengzhe stood up and watched him leave, then slowly turned around and bowed to Yan Yu.

"Please go to bed early, Your Majesty. I will think of a prescription, but I am not in a hurry. You must not overwork your body."

"It's getting late. I'll take my leave."

Yan Yu nodded slightly.

"Thank you for your concern."

"My dear Lord Gao, your misunderstanding is all my fault. It's all my fault that I allowed you to lie low and was unable to help you clear your name."

Ning Fengzhe felt comforted and smiled and shook his head.

"Your Majesty, you are my biological father. Considering the father-son relationship, how can Your Majesty say that I am not allowed to stay dormant and leave immediately? Your Majesty is in a difficult situation, and I understand it without saying anything."

Yan Yu sighed with worry.

"If there is any danger, come back and I will protect you."

Ning Fengzhe bowed in response.

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhuang Shao stood up immediately and bowed at the same time.

"It is time for me to return home. I would like to thank you for the snacks. I am overjoyed."

After they said their goodbyes, they left together.

Leaving Prince Dijin's palace, riding in the carriage, Zhuang Shao couldn't help but sigh.

"I didn't expect that Lord Gao was gone, and Mu Liao was secretly doing something wrong. This person hid himself so well that even Xi'er was deceived. He really should not be underestimated."

Ning Fengzhe was stunned when he heard this.

"This is my excuse, and the evidence is also forged to hide the true identity of Alliance Leader Bai. In fact, Lord Mu only took the initiative to show his loyalty to his father and harbored ulterior motives, and he did not really plan to kill Lord Gao."

"I gave you my advice this afternoon and told you everything. Did your uncle miss it?"

Zhuang Shao held his forehead with his hand and laughed at himself, his face covered with shame.

"Yes, yes, you told me."

"Your words just now were so true that they made me feel as if I were there, as if I had seen Mr. Gao's tragic death with my own eyes. For a moment, I was really a little dazed."

Ning Fengzhe's eyebrows were furrowed, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"My Lord, how could I have hidden it from him if I hadn't tried my best to deceive him?"

"I didn't expect that the emperor's uncle actually believed it."

Zhuang Shao praised sincerely.

"It shows that your wisdom and strategy are the best in the world."

Ning Fengzhe was humble under the Khan.

"Uncle Emperor, you are too kind to praise me. I am a mediocre person and I don't deserve such praise."

Zhuang Shao's eyes showed admiration.

"My brother-in-law once said that wise men are modest. This is an old rule. It shows how knowledgeable you are."

"I'll take you directly back to Ning Mansion. It's a good opportunity to go out of the city and visit the Nianren League to tell my brother-in-law the good news."

After saying this, he raised his voice a little and gave instructions to the groom.

"Go to the Ningguo Mansion."

Ning Fengzhe smiled slightly.

"Thank you for your concern, uncle."

Zhuang Shao became worried.

"You left the sachet with Mu Liao, will it really be okay?"

Ning Fengzhe was frank and honest, hiding nothing.

"A few days ago, Mu Liao secretly surrendered, but my father refused because he suspected that he had ulterior motives and was lying low as he was entrusted with the important task of Emperor Jin. My father had long wanted to get rid of him. If he knew that I had quietly taken action, he would definitely think that this was an act of assistance. When he knew that the sachet was lost, he would protect him."

"While gaining the trust of my father, this plan may also deceive He'er. Let her think that I followed Prince Di Jin because I was angry at the moment, but in fact my heart is still with my father."

Zhuang Shao looked puzzled.

"Brother Gu is suspicious and inevitably misunderstands Mu Liao's sincerity. Lord Feng has a sharp eye and will surely see through the truth. How could he not say a word and persuade Brother Gu to accept this man?"

Ning Fengzhe answered frankly.

"Mu Liao asked to see He'er several times, but He'er was not there. How can I persuade him without seeing her?"

Zhuang Shao nodded clearly and gave instructions softly.

"I see. You move around and be careful. When my brother is free, I will find a way to tell him about this and ask him to protect you."

Ning Fengzhe smiled respectfully.

"Uncle, there is no need to take risks. After years of confrontation and growing up together, he knows whether I am sincere or not at a glance. There is no need for him to say more."
