Chapter 349 When to Act

Chapter 349 When to Act

Feng Yihe responded reluctantly.

"Father, the emperor has made a sacred judgment, and I dare not object."

Seeing her give in, Gu Mengzhen reluctantly calmed down.

"Where is Wei'er now?"

Feng Yihe answered truthfully.

"I will arrange for you to stay at the North Suburb Inn and go up to the West Tower alone."

When Gu Mengzhen heard this, he frowned and looked serious, and suddenly became cold.

"Northern Suburbs? Why do you live so far away?"

"You really are targeting Wei'er and want him to suffer on purpose, right?"

Such an accusation was simply incomprehensible, Feng Yihe patiently explained it solemnly.

"Your Majesty, please understand. With the opening of Yiren Qingcheng, all the inns and restaurants in and outside Shengjing are almost full every day. I have gone through great pains to find an inn in the northern suburbs that is remote and has vacancies. I am not targeting you, Master Zhuang!"

Thinking of his nephew who was alone outside and whose safety was uncertain, Gu Mengzhen became worried and annoyed, and slammed the table repeatedly.

"If that's the case, you should bring him into the palace. How can you let him live in a remote place?!"

Listening to the groundless accusations, Feng Yihe was almost on the verge of collapse. She couldn't help but lose her composure and asked back as a reminder.

"Did your Majesty forget what you agreed with Master Zhuang?"

"Lord Zhuang was sleeping in the palace, so how could Lord Lin quietly give Gao Fengqiubi to him and sleep with him? If Gao Fengqiubi was sent directly into the palace and seen by outsiders, it would mean that the emperor openly approved the forced rape. Then, where would the emperor's prestige be? How would he explain to the people of the world?"

After she said that, Gu Mengzhen suddenly remembered the incident and secretly blamed himself in his heart.

Oops, I was so worried about my nephew suffering that I almost forgot about the important matter Wei'er entrusted to me!

Let me think carefully, what is Wei'er going to do?

Late at night, he lured her to the bedroom of the Lin residence, and the affair was straightforward and settled overnight.

I felt that this plan was a little inappropriate, so I changed it to wait for her to faint and then send her to Zhuang Mansion overnight.

Unexpectedly, my brother was looking for trouble to blame me, so I changed my sleeping place to the inn. The next morning, Lin Aiqing thought she was meeting a friend, and she happened to see them when she passed by their guest room, which made Gao Ernu feel ashamed, so she naturally took the initiative to cancel the engagement.

After tidying himself up, Gu Mengzhen held up his dignity and looked around disdainfully.

"In that case, is everything all right with Lord Lin?"

Feng Yihe was already accustomed to his pretentious attitude and was not surprised by it.

"Before entering the palace, I have already told the maid to pass on a message to him, asking him to be ready to receive the Emperor's orders at any time."

Gu Mengzhen looked down on everyone and taught everyone the truth.

"It's late at night, and Lord Lin may be sleeping soundly. How can you act rashly?"

Feng Yihe was so angry that she dared not show any of it, for fear that he would catch her doing something wrong and punish her.

"Yes, I know I was wrong."

After the instruction, Gu Mengzhen thought about his nephew's affairs patiently and took care of everything.

"Weier must be tired after being punished. Let him have a good rest for a day, and then send the second-year girl over tomorrow night."

Feng Yihe was deeply jealous and secretly disdainful.

Isn't it just that he was raised by his side and lived with him day and night for twenty years, so is the relationship between uncle and nephew so deep?

One of them keeps talking, and he only cares about my brother's family; the other one's heart and eyes are filled with only Ning Yunxi.

They don't distinguish between the primary and the secondary, they are biased and selfish, and they are all foolish!

As she was thinking about it, she bowed and responded casually.

"My son, I obey."

Without paying attention to her thoughtful look, Gu Mengzhen gave the order carefully with a solemn expression.

"I have something else to ask you to do."

"I have a new informant under my command, her name is Tong Zhenzhi, she lives in Feiyaoxuan in the southern suburbs. She will soon be 20 years old, and may be recommended by Ning Sannu to participate in the provincial governor's examination. This person is dull in talent, and I had no intention of using her. Unexpectedly, she accidentally got in touch with Ning Sannu."

"A good opportunity is rare and should not be missed. However, with her ability, it is very likely that the Third Lady Ning will see through her at a glance. In the next few days, you, as Lord Feng, will carefully teach her how to hide among them. I will give you a secret letter. You must hide and go to the southern suburbs. She will know at a glance that you are one of them."

"Remember, if she is useful, she can pass the examination and sneak into the side of King Di Jin; if she is useless, you know how to deal with it."

Hearing that he seemed to be evasive in his words, Feng Yihe became suspicious.

In fact, he usually spoke in this evasive way. She understood what he meant. Her father loved to pretend to be profound and bluff in order to appear unfathomable.

But today, he seemed to be more evasive than usual. She thought about it and couldn't help but test it.

"Please forgive me for asking so many questions, but is this person really just an informant?"

Gu Mengzhen's face darkened, his brows furrowed deeply after several attempts, and they were already a little sore.

"How can you question his words?"

Feng Yihe looked calm and replied calmly and reasonably.

"I have absolutely no such intention. I know him well and I just want to serve my father wholeheartedly."

Gu Mengzhen looked down at him with disdain and a hint of anger, and spoke perfunctorily.

"This girl's parents died young, and she only has two brothers in her family. Her family now lives in Zhong Street, and has opened a shop called Bingqingyuan. Her elder brother is the owner, and her younger brother is the shopkeeper. Their names are Tong Pan and Tong Zhe respectively."

It had long been speculated that the emperor's father had promised to secretly place the princes and princesses somewhere else, and Feng Yihe asked about it half-heartedly.

"She has no secret identity?"

Gu Mengzhen couldn't stand it anymore and looked angry.

"Where do you get all these doubts from? Fengzhe taught you etiquette, but you've completely forgotten it!"

He wrote a secret letter quickly, then threw it to the ground angrily.

"I am tired, please leave!"

Feng Yihe walked over a few steps, bent over to pick up the letter, and agreed with a feeling of dissatisfaction.

"Yes."

Since her father didn't say anything, she went to test the virgin girl. How could such a small matter be difficult for her?

Feng Yihe's eyes showed a hint of pride, and she bowed and took her leave.

……

A leaf quietly fell in the courtyard of Yuexi Mansion. Qiu Bi passed by and her light pear-colored skirt just lifted up the leaf, and then it quickly fell back to calm.

"Is the princess up this morning?"

The maid replied respectfully.

"Reporting to the Lord, the princess has already woken up and is dressing in her bedroom."

Qiu Bi responded and quickly went to the bedroom.

When I knocked on the door and walked in, I saw Ning Yunxi changing clothes. Qiu Bi waved her sleeves to signal the maid.

"Everyone, please step back. I will serve the princess."

The maids responded in unison, took their leave, and the last maid closed the door.

Ning Yunxi saw this and subconsciously guessed the purpose of the visit.

"You sent the maid away. Do you have something to say? Is there any news from the Zhuang Mansion?"

Qiu Bi looked at him with admiration.

"The princess is as good as a god. Not to mention that I have seen things for more than 20 years, even if I have seen them for more than 200 years, I would still admire you from the bottom of my heart. You are my role model!"

Ning Yunxi smiled awkwardly.

"Stop talking so much."

She slightly became serious and asked earnestly.

"Where do my cousins ​​live? When do they plan to act?"

Qiu Bi selected a coat and put it on the princess, smiling happily and praising her endlessly.

"Speaking of this, I have to praise the princess's brilliant strategy once again."

"The princess opened Yiren Qingcheng, so all the inns in and outside Shengjing were fully booked. This is a far-sighted plan. Lord Zhuang also had foresight and informed the shopkeeper of the Du Shangxi Building in advance that he would not receive any distinguished guests for the time being, and must reserve an empty room for Feng Yihe or Lord Zhuang to stay in."

"Therefore, Master Zhuang has now moved into the Dushang West Tower. Tonight, he will use Master Lin's hand to cooperate with his subordinates in the play."

Ning Yunxi spoke softly and gently.

"Uncle is really thoughtful. It's always more convenient to do things in your own inn."

She stared deeply and said something deliberately.

"Thank you for your hard work tonight."

Qiu Bi feels free from any burden and is at ease.

"I am tireless in my efforts to tie up Feng Yihe. The princess has never seen the smug look on her face when she deceived me. Humph, this time, if it's my turn to bully her, I will definitely not show mercy!"
