Chapter 292 How Can Brother Trust Him
A group of soldiers worked hard for a long time, but in the end, Ning Fengzhe broke the deadlock in an instant.
Upon seeing this, the soldier at the door immediately went to report the matter, but Xiao Xiangshuo happened to be patrolling around at that time, and after searching for a long time, they finally met.
When Xiao Xiangshuo heard this, his pupils were filled with shock and he couldn't believe it.
"what?!"
"God is blind. How could he be so lucky? It's hard for the master to come up with such an unpredictable plan, but it all went down the drain."
"My uncle said that if anything unexpected happens, we can go to the princess nearby. You guys stay at the palace carefully, I will go to Yuexi Mansion to ask for help immediately."
Passing by the main gate, he saw Ning Yunxi leaving Yuexi Mansion and heading towards Prince Dijin's Mansion. Xiao Xiangshuo approached in a hurry.
"The princess arrived at the right time!"
Brother might be angry because of fourth sister's matter, Ning Yunxi asked uncertainly.
"Why did Lord Xiao say that? Are you really angry?"
Xiao Xiangshuo was sweating profusely and beating the drum anxiously.
"Why are you angry? I heard from the soldiers that the prince was almost overjoyed to see Lord Ning."
Ning Yunxi was shocked.
"Master Ning? My brother is here?"
Xiao Xiangshuo was anxious and regretful.
"That's right. When the prince came back from Yuexi Mansion, he happened to meet Lord Ning and took him into the mansion. The terrain set up by the earl failed!"
Unexpectedly, the plan of drawing a line on the ground as a prisoner would fail in this way. Ning Yunxi stayed where he was, unable to recover for a long time.
"What……"
There was a rustling in Xiao Xiangshuo's palms, showing his worry.
"If Lord Ning spreads slander and reports it, the prince will be furious again. Princess, please think of a countermeasure as soon as possible."
He changed his mind and made a serious proposal, mentioning Zhuang Shao every other sentence.
"If it really doesn't work, please ask the princess to calm the prince down first. I will go to Fang Mansion and ask to see the uncle."
Ning Yunxi was exhausted and sighed deeply.
"Master Xiao, please be patient. I will go and persuade my brother. My uncle has informed all the masters that he is tired from traveling. He is probably just returning home to rest. Please do not disturb him for the time being."
Xiao Xiangshuo's worries disappeared, and his eyes flashed coldly, suddenly becoming fierce.
"I didn't realize before that the princess is so eager for quick success. She calls it caring for you, but in fact she wants to be the first in everything. As the old saying goes, 'a person with short-sightedness cannot tolerate others.' If the princess is so ignorant of the big picture, how can you live in peace?"
Ning Yunxi was stunned when she heard this, and felt awkward, crying and laughing.
"You... it seems that during the few days I was trapped in the Zhuang Mansion, Lord Xiao and the Earl got along very well?"
Xiao Xiangshuo's face was gloomy and he was on high alert.
"Princess, please do not form a clique for personal gain and attempt to frame someone!"
"Lord, you have used your talents several times, but the princess was not around, so you are dissatisfied. Don't you know that you are too proud of your talent? Excuse me for being blunt, but Lord, you can see the big picture from the small details, and you are far better than Ning and Feng alone. You are much better than you."
"Aren't you just indebted to Lord Yin Sicheng Xie? You used Yin Sitai to force the prince to choose you and abandon the Earl. How can you be the first counselor?"
Ning Yunxi was worried and embarrassed and made an excuse.
"I never said that I was the number one counselor."
Xiao Xiangshuo spoke with resentment. For the sake of his uncle, he completely disregarded etiquette and questioned directly.
"Then what are you arguing about? Why don't you allow the uncle to participate?"
Ning Yunxi quickly admitted defeat and replied as he wished.
"There is no use in quarreling among colleagues."
"Master Xiao is right. Can you please ask Lord Bo to help us solve this problem together?"
Xiao Xiangshuo was reluctantly satisfied and gave a perfunctory reply.
"My Lord, you are so righteous. I admire you."
Ning Yunxi smiled politely.
"Thank you, Lord Xiao."
After saying that, she turned around quickly and entered the mansion through the main gate.
The terrain of the garden changed, and the gatekeepers were careful and took the initiative to lead the way for the princess.
Xiao Xiangshuo was still angry and tried to stop him.
"No need to lead the way, just let her go!"
The soldiers looked at each other, at a loss for what to do.
Ning Yunxi looked back in confusion when she heard this.
Xiao Xiangshuo spoke in a stern voice, pretending to reprimand.
"Princess Yuexi has always been known for her resourcefulness. How could the plan of the Lord be able to trap her? You really underestimate the talent of the number one counselor!"
As he spoke, he forced an unnatural smile, and looked at Ning Yunxi gently.
"My soldiers are not familiar with the ways of the world, please don't be offended, Princess."
Ning Yunxi smiled back.
"Master Xiao, your words are too serious."
With a light and free movement, Xiao Xiangshuo jumped onto the horse, looked up and bowed in salute.
"Farewell."
Ning Yunxi nodded in return, walked into the main gate and went deep into the garden.
She took a shortcut and in less than a cup of tea, she arrived at the front hall where Yan Yu was.
At this time, Ning Fengzhe was offering advice on how to deal with the informant set up by Feng Yihe.
"Based on Feng Yihe's unintentional hint, I guess the informant is hiding in the courtyard where the prince lives..."
Ning Yunxi knocked on the door lightly, and with Yan Yu's permission, she pushed the door open and walked in.
"From what Big Brother said, after catching the informant, he will let him go, and he doesn't intend to wipe out the root of the problem?"
Seeing her, Yan Yu couldn't help but think of the broken appointment. He was originally angry, but the moment he raised his eyes, his heart was filled with joy.
"You are here, please sit down."
Ning Yunxi turned a deaf ear and did not sit down. She looked straight at Ning Fengzhe with a wary look, waiting for a response.
Guessing that they would have a close combat after his sister escaped, Ning Fengzhe was not surprised at all. He met her gaze calmly, smiling elegantly as always.
"Xi'er may have misunderstood. What I meant was that if the informant does not gain anything, Your Majesty does not need to harm his life. It would be a waste of time and would only taint your own body."
Ning Yunxi's face is covered with flowers and rain, and the waves are surging like mountains and seas.
"That's not like you."
"I seem to remember that my elder brother taught me that the way to gain someone's trust is to 'cultivate my likes and dislikes and become compatible with them'. Your sudden kindness is not an attempt to cater to my brother's nature, is it?"
Ning Fengzhe stared deeply, his smile gradually fading.
"Well, it is."
Ning Yunxi asked directly.
"Big brother, are you admitting that your surrender is fake?"
Ning Fengzhe nodded slightly.
"You are right. I am just pretending to surrender."
Ning Yunxi frowned and turned to Yan Yu.
"Brother, did you hear it? How can you believe him?"
Yan Yu corrected softly.
"Whatever you say, that's what it is. He's obviously doting on you."
There was a chill in the air around Ning Yunxi's lips, but she could only force out a bitter smile.
"Big brother is really capable! Even if you admit to being false in front of me, I am willing to believe that you are loyal. Big brother, please teach me how to achieve this level."
It was so heartless that the sky collapsed and the earth broke. Wherever Ning Fengzhe's eyes went, there was bitterness.
Seeing his heartache, Yan Yu panicked and hurried to persuade him.
"He is truly sincere, don't doubt him."
"Thanks to his timely appearance, I was able to calm down. Otherwise, I would definitely blame you for teasing me for no reason."
Ning Yunxi sticks to his own opinion and remains steadfast.
"I am not doubtful, I am convinced. Brother, have you forgotten that I have memories from my past life and know his sinister and cruel heart?"
Yan Yu put herself in Ning Fengzhe's shoes, felt the doubts in his heart, and asked questions on his behalf.
"Just because of a sentence like 'You are stupid, don't blame others', are you so indifferent?"
"Besides that, what else did he do to hurt you in his previous life?"
