Chapter 288 His Feelings

Ning Yunxi also refuted in an orderly and calm manner.

"Brother, if you follow the emperor, you can also inherit the emperor's career. What's the use of this Emperor Yue?"

"As long as my brother is alive, even if he becomes the emperor, it is not legitimate. Take the example of treason, Uncle Shao, please see if the current emperor is popular among the people."

"With my elder brother's wisdom and talent, how can I be willing to become a puppet?"

Zhuang Shao's eyes were filled with anxiety and his face looked embarrassed.

"Perhaps, he has no ambition for a high position and only assists Brother Gu because he has not met a wise leader."

"For the sake of the prince, he offered advice on how to guard against the informants set up by Lord Feng, and even went to test them personally and deal with them strategically."

"He saved you and helped convey the "Theory of Constitutions" so that the prince could research the cure."

Ning Yunxi frowned solemnly, with a hint of anger in her eyes.

"These are just some innocuous tricks to win people's hearts. How can Uncle Shao believe them?"

"So-called true surrender means doing something insignificant that can't shake the political situation at all? You may not know that big brother's ability is far more than that!"

Zhuang Shao was speechless for a moment.

"Really? Then I..."

Ning Yunxi continued to explain calmly.

"He arranged that informant to take my brother's life."

"One moment, he was planning to rebel; the next moment, he suddenly changed his mind and became a loyal subject. Uncle Shao, please think carefully, how can an ordinary person change so quickly?"

Zhuang Shao was speechless and the last bit of trust finally collapsed.

"What you said makes sense."

Ning Yunxi's gentle voice is like a sharp sword, enough to pierce people's hearts.

"Uncle Shao just described how my elder brother exposed Lord Mu. His words were so vivid and emotional that even though Uncle Shao had heard the so-called truth, he still believed it. This shows that he is capable of deceiving the world and deceiving the heavens and the earth."

"In that case, how can you be sure that his words of surrender are from the bottom of his heart?"

"You know, my elder brother is best at deceiving people with his sincerity. In my past and present lives, I have been deceived by him for decades, and I am still confused. I pray that Uncle Shao will wake up. My elder brother is really not worthy of trust!"

Zhuang Shao was completely convinced and had no more doubts. He changed his attitude and started analyzing the situation again.

"No wonder he tried to stop me when I told him about this. He even said that he grew up with me, so there's no need to say whether he's sincere or not. It turns out he was afraid that he would know about this and see through his true colors."

Ning Yunxi was filled with worry, her face as cold and calm as a lake.

"Even if my uncle chooses to believe it, you and I cannot just stand by and do nothing."

"I remember my cousin said that even my uncle would be confused when facing my elder brother. You can imagine how unpredictable my elder brother is. So, even if my uncle believes it, we should persuade him with kind words. For the safety of my elder brother and for the survival of all of you, we must not fall into his trap."

Zhuang Shao disagreed and expressed his own views.

"Hui'er is too modest. Brother is from the Fang clan, how can he be inferior to him?"

Ning Yunxi had a solemn expression and his words were meaningful.

"The Shengjing Fang Clan is just famous, but there are actually many outstanding and elegant people in the world."

"In my previous life, I heard my father mention a man who was highly talented and upright, and who was well-behaved. My mother only met him once, but she sincerely sought him out and took him in as her disciple. This man's name was Zhou Zixi, and he was a civilian. He was my fourth senior brother."

"Dad said that as soon as Fourth Senior Brother entered the sect, he became Mother's favorite student. His writing was brilliant, his speech was eloquent, and his strategy was extraordinary. At that time, he was only nineteen years old, but his strategy could surpass several elders of the Fang Clan. Mother was willing to give him a high evaluation, and although she regarded him as her teacher, she was far inferior to him."

Zhuang Shao had never heard of this before and couldn't help but be curious.

"Zhou Shaolang is so talented, I guess he is working at Beizhaotai now?"

Ning Yunxi sighed with sorrow and thought, her almond-shaped eyes were filled with deep melancholy, like fallen leaves in the autumn wind.

"Father Xiyan, Fourth Senior Brother turned 20 and went home to visit his family. He has never been to the Fang Mansion since then and his whereabouts are still unknown."

Zhuang Shao lowered his eyes with sadness and made the inference.

"A man of talent is bound to be coveted by others. Maybe someone from somewhere else is trying to take him away."

Ning Yunxi nodded and began to meditate.

"The Fang clan has investigated, and it seems that he went to Xingliang, but during the battle between Yuesheng and Xingliang, he was not seen. The high-ranking officials in Xingliang are ruthless, and I guess he may have been killed by the thieves."

Zhuang Shao couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Alas, a talented man of his generation has died in the desert. Just hearing about it makes me feel sad. If he were here, he would definitely be able to tell whether Lord Ning is genuine or not."

When Ning Fengzhe was mentioned, he suddenly realized something.

"By the way, Lord Ning already knows the secret of the Nian Ren League. Will he reveal it to Brother Gu? In the early years, Brother Gu regarded my brother-in-law as his old enemy. Now, once he knows my brother-in-law's true identity, he will definitely take action and will not give up."

"Brother-in-law is a commoner, a man of the underworld, how can he resist Brother Gu's edge?"

Ning Yunxi's face was stern, and she was deeply filled with a feeling of powerlessness.

"He will remain dormant in order to dissociate himself from the emperor. Even if he tells the emperor, he will not act immediately. The Nianren League will not be worried for the time being. During this time, I will think of a way to make him mistakenly believe that his father is not Yun Boyu, let alone the man in black."

Zhuang Shao was gloomy and at a loss as to what to do.

"This man is scheming. How can we deceive him?"

Ning Yunxi is a man of deep insight and foresight, and he shows a bit of his indifference.

"He has a plan here, so he will have to stay here for a while. Let me think about it slowly, and there will always be a way. If it really doesn't work, I will come up with another plan, directly..."

She was in a heavy mood and hesitated to speak.

"The most urgent matters are, first, to persuade my elder brother to withdraw the two imperial edicts at the right time; second, to inform all the elders not to trust my elder brother easily."

Zhuang Shao reminded carefully.

"It is inappropriate to withdraw Yu's order."

"Once the imperial decree is issued, even if it has not been announced to the world, it cannot be revoked at will. If there is any evidence left, Lord Ning will be able to make a big fuss and falsely accuse the prince of breaking his promise."

Ning Yunxi smiled and walked with more energy than needed.

"If you can just lead Big Brother to make a mistake, you can take it back. I will take care of everything and won't cause any trouble for you."

Zhuang Shao took the initiative to propose.

"Then you concentrate on planning your strategy. I will go around and inform the powerful people to be careful."

Ning Yunxi nodded in response.

"Yes, Uncle Shao worked hard."

Zhuang Shao was in a relaxed posture.

"a piece of cake."

After returning, he did not forget to comfort and encourage.

"Relax, with your talent, you can definitely do it."

Ning Yunxi smiled brightly.

"Well, thank you Uncle Shao."

After Zhuang Shao left, Ning Yunxi called Qiu Bi and sat down to accompany her.

Then, she carefully sorted out Zhuang Shao's narration, paying attention to every detail, thinking carefully and meticulously.

Thinking of the reason her elder brother had pointed out for his sincerity, which was the two imperial edicts, she began to think again.

"If I leave the Ning family, he will no longer be my big brother. Without the brother-sister relationship, how can he still bind me with family affection?"

"Don't you think he wants to be my brother?"

"What is his intention?"

The past emerged and passed before her eyes like lightning, and finally, she was left with a sudden shock.

"He... Could it be that his feelings..."

At this point, Qiu Bi felt the same way and couldn't help but speak.

"The princess is really amazing. She was able to guess that Lord Ning had feelings for no reason, just based on irrelevant things."

Ning Yunxi turned her head to look.

"From what I heard, you've thought of this, too?"

Qiu Bi shook her head.

"Lord Ning has a deep mind, how could I have predicted it? It was the fourth lady who told me."

Ning Yunxi was slightly startled.

"Fourth sister also thought of this?"

Qiu Bi answered in a leisurely manner.

"That's not the case. She heard Lord Ning admit it himself."

Ning Yunxi asked in confusion.

"What did big brother say?"

Qiu Bi relayed his meaning.

"Lord Ning said that the woman he likes is Lord Du."

No wonder she said "for no reason". Ning Yunxi suddenly realized and felt even more surprised.

"Master Du?!"

"Which Lord Du?"
