Chapter 472 Even the whole world knows
After the rewarding ceremony was over, all the ministers took their leave and went back to their respective tasks.
Ning Fengzhe and his sister still had some plans to complete, so they stayed and waited for the opportunity.
Yan Yu’s complexion is as warm as the spring breeze and as pure as the blue sky.
"We still have some time to explore the secrets of the Tongshitai. Little sister, why don't you accompany Ning Aiqing to take a walk around?"
Ning Yunxi responded softly.
"it is good."
Without interrupting her conversation, she took the opportunity to invite him.
"Brother, let's go together?"
Yan Yu wanted to make it possible for them to be alone together, but he refused without hesitation.
"You guys can go and have a look. I have to deal with matters related to the Emperor's decree."
Ning Yunxi felt disappointed.
"OK then."
Ning Fengzhe understood what he meant, and his brows were slightly moved.
"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself and don't overwork yourself."
Yan Yu smiled contentedly.
"Not tired, very relaxed."
He waved his hands, urging urgently.
"You guys go quickly."
Ning Fengzhe bowed respectfully.
"Wei Chen retire."
The courtyard of Prince Dijin's mansion is tranquil and beautiful. The morning glow shines through the gaps between the leaves, dripping down the cobblestone paths. Every blade of grass and every tree lingers, attracting people.
Ning Fengzhe is always concerned about his sister's safety.
"We will go to Tongshitai later. Remember, you must not separate from the prince. You must ensure your own safety."
Ning Yunxi smiled with relief.
"Big brother has reminded me many times, and I have already remembered it."
She was concerned about her brother's situation and she never tired of emphasizing it.
"When you go to the palace to see the emperor and advise him to treat his illness and abdicate the throne, you must remember not to act rashly. If you find that something is not going well, back off in time and never anger the emperor. Whether it succeeds or not is not that important."
Ning Fengzhe followed her and smiled with relief.
"You have repeated this several times, and I have kept it in my heart and have never forgotten it."
His eyes were blank, his gaze shifted into the distance, his steps were quiet, almost silent.
"I know that it is safer to proceed gradually, but I am deeply concerned about my father's condition. It is ominous that his condition is getting worse. I cannot bear to see my father suffer from the pain."
Ning Yunxi followed his words and praised him generously.
"Respecting parents, big brother deserves it, Yuesheng is the best."
Ning Fengzhe was happy in his heart, but only blamed others on his face.
"He's always good at talking and never behaves properly."
"My plan to allow you to successfully infiltrate the Tongshitai requires the cooperation of Lord Xu. Think again, are there any omissions in my previous plan to incite Lord Xu to rebel?"
Hearing that her elder brother was a little humble, Ning Yunxi was calm and confident and gave him affirmation.
"Don't worry, big brother. How could there be any omissions in your plan? Lord Xu must be sincere in agreeing to change his mind, my fourth sister."
Ning Fengzhe's face looked sad instead of happy.
"Think carefully. If you make a mistake, your life may be in danger."
Ning Yunxi smiled meaninglessly, looking happy and relaxed.
"With my brother here, everything is worry-free."
Unable to bear seeing him in sorrow, she immediately praised him.
"Brother, you have the talent to help the world, you should be confident and have no doubts. I am ashamed of yourself for belittling yourself like this."
Ning Fengzhe became serious and explained his meaning.
"I'm not feeling inferior, but I'm worried about you taking risks. In fact, it's most appropriate for me to go deep into the Tongshitai."
Seeing that he was cautious, Ning Yunxi also took it seriously.
"The secrets of the Tongshitai are what the emperor fears. Anyone who tries to find out will make him unhappy or even angry. You have to go to the palace to negotiate, and it may not be the first time. If you anger the emperor, you will be in danger and the consequences will be disastrous."
"We should not miss the opportunity to sneak into Tongshitai. I am the only one who can do this."
Ning Fengzhe's expression became more gloomy.
"It is precisely because my father is afraid that I am worried and at ease."
Ning Yunxi quickly changed the subject.
"Don't be upset, big brother. Things may not be good, let's not talk about this, let's talk about something else."
She smiled sweetly, looked into the distance, and had beautiful dreams.
"Brother Yu ordered that you write an article and announce it to the world. In a few days, big brother will be famous all over the world. By then, people who want to propose marriage will surely come to the Ningguo Mansion. Big brother, please be picky and choose a good sister-in-law for me."
She patted her chest, vowed and made a promise.
"I will take care of all the expenses for your wedding!"
Ning Fengzhe felt somewhat helpless.
"You think long-term."
Ning Yunxi disagreed and continued to yearn.
"I'm not thinking too far ahead. Maybe, after you leave the palace to see the emperor, big brother will receive many love letters. A great joyful event is just around the corner."
Ning Fengzhe was indifferent and refused directly.
"I'm not planning on getting married yet."
Ning Yunxi said jokingly, hoping that her brother's worry would turn into joy.
"Are you waiting for Master Du?"
Ning Fengzhe had a stern face, no smile on his face, but instead a hint of anger.
"How dare you tease my brother?"
Ning Yunxi felt a little disappointed and apologetic after failing to be funny.
"Little sister knows her mistake."
Unconsciously, I walked to the wall of Prince Dijin's mansion. Just across the wall, outside the mansion was a quiet corner of the alley. It was rarely visited by people, and today it was rare to hear any discussions.
From the sound of their conversation, it sounded like a street sweeper, chatting while sweeping the floor.
"Yesterday, I went to clean outside the side door of Yuexi Mansion. Guess what news I heard?"
"what news?"
"The previous rumors were all false. Prince Di Jin first visited the emperor the day before yesterday. I heard that His Highness Yuexi was in great pain and had difficulty moving."
"Your news is nothing. It was already spread all over Shengjing yesterday, and today the whole world knows it."
"is it?"
"I heard that His Highness Yuexi cried so hard that he was covered in wounds. One can imagine the unknown preferences of King Dijin."
"Keep your voice down. If someone hears you talking like this, you will be beheaded and displayed to the public."
"I know a lot more, but you don't want to hear it?"
"It's very interesting, who wouldn't want to listen? Just keep your voice down, just speak quickly."
"Don't forget the work at hand."
"Don't worry, I can take care of it, just tell me..."
The two of them chatted and swept the floor at the same time, and gradually walked away.
Ning Yunxi swallowed in panic, raised her eyes tremblingly, and looked at her brother tentatively.
As expected, Ning Fengzhe's face darkened to the bottom, and his eyes were filled with anger.
"I seem to remember leaving you a plan to keep this matter secret and not to spread it to anyone else, just to guide the King."
"The news has already spread all over Shengjing, and even the whole world knows about it. What does it mean?"
"What's my plan?"
Ning Yunxi tried hard to hide her guilty conscience and defended herself.
"Ah? This... I implemented it correctly, but unfortunately, the effect is not very good."
"It seems that this plan of yours, big brother, is a little bit clumsy."
Ning Fengzhe was as furious as a mad lion, his momentum was so fierce that he almost tore the sky apart.
"Just now you said you had the talent to help the world, but now you say your plan is clumsy?"
"Ning Yunxi!"
"How dare you lie to my brother?"
"Don't you know that I didn't eat or drink and pondered over this plan for a whole day and night, but in the end, you gave up because you were lazy?!"
"Why do you always take your reputation lightly? Aren't you satisfied with the rumors and gossips you've endured?!"
Ning Yunxi was so frightened that she stepped back repeatedly, trying to find an excuse to escape.
"Don't worry, brother. We'll teach you when we get back. The opportunity has come. My brother and I should go to Tongshitai."
Ning Fengzhe was so angry that he had a splitting headache.
"I just taught you that when you mention the prince, you should respect him!"
Ning Yunxi left a few words of comforting, then fled in a panic.
"Yes, yes, brother and I, that's all right, right?"
