Chapter 477 Jade Ring
Hearing this, Ning Yunxi asked humbly.
"May I ask which distinguished person it is?"
Jiang Luo sighed silently, feeling somewhat helpless and confused.
"I don't know her identity or name. The Emperor and Lord An kept their mouths shut and were extremely careful. My dear brother Zixi has been trying for several years, but to no avail. The only thing we found out is her gender, but we have no way of confirming its authenticity."
"According to my guess, either my nephew is powerful and the emperor is afraid that he will be used by you to save us from here; or he is just an ordinary person, hiding in the folks, and the emperor can't remember who he is, so you naturally have no way to deal with him."
After retelling the story, he took the opportunity to plead that he should value his younger brother more than himself.
"Please, Princess, help me find his whereabouts. I will be grateful for your kindness."
Ning Yunxi agreed without hesitation.
"Okay, come back home later and I'll go look for it."
Zhou Zixi felt embarrassed and was afraid of dragging down his junior sister, so he emphasized.
"It's not a big deal, Junior Sister, you don't need to worry too much about it. Just check it out when you have some free time."
Ning Yunxi is full of enthusiasm.
"My brother's beloved son is my nephew. How can I be so careless?"
She thought about it and analyzed it carefully.
"A good father will have a good son. In my humble opinion, even though this nephew is living among the common people, the emperor has entrusted him with important tasks and would summon him from time to time. He would never forget about him."
"After a careful investigation, there will be some results. I will collect the personal belongings of my brother to help me find my relatives."
Zhou Zixi never forgets to care about his friends.
"Please also collect Brother Jiang's things. His children and several others are also missing."
Ning Yunxi responded respectfully.
"Yes."
Yan Yu suggested softly.
"Little sister, you focus on Brother Ling, I will take care of Mr. Jiang."
Ning Yunxi nodded.
"it is good."
Jiang Luo had only heard of the Guardian looking for his relatives but had never seen them. For a moment, he was at a loss as to what to do.
"How can I collect this? What should I do?"
Ning Yunxi responded with a clear and calm voice.
"Mr. Jiang, please take a seat while we get some medical equipment."
Jiang Luo was stunned.
"Where can I get it?"
"The secret passage of Tongshitai, how can you come and go so freely?"
Ning Yunxi smiled slightly and touched the silver ring.
"No need to leave, we will take it with us. Please wait for a moment, Mr. Jiang and Fourth Brother."
After saying this, Ning Yunxi and Yan Yu entered their respective medical spaces, took out the necessary tools, and began collecting.
During the process, Zhou Zixi spoke carefully and asked a question.
"Does Fengzhe have a jade ring in his hand?"
Ning Yunxi concentrated on collecting without thinking too much.
"Have."
"My eldest brother always wears a jade ring on his right thumb. I heard it was a gift from the emperor. When he was young, he couldn't wear it, so he tied it with a red string and used it as a necklace. After the coming-of-age ceremony, he wore it on his hand instead, cherishing it so much that he never took it off."
Zhou Zixi's anxious heart gradually calmed down, and he spoke and laughed happily, reminiscing about the past.
"It was a generous gift from my master when I came of age. I was also a young man, and I wore it on my hand."
Ning Yunxi's eyes were filled with surprise, and she was still shocked by Fourth Senior Brother's resourcefulness.
"Could it be that this is also Fourth Senior Brother's plan? Using the Emperor's gift, he wants to give the jade ring to my brother?"
Zhou Zixi never thought that he was talented, but instead was filled with shame.
"Well, a little trick to make you laugh."
"I am really useless and cannot give him anything good. I can only take advantage of my master's kindness and give generously to others."
"As long as he likes it."
Ning Yunxi's words came from the heart, full of sincere encouragement.
"Fourth Brother, please don't underestimate yourself. If you hadn't encountered such an unfortunate incident, you would have already established yourself. With your intelligence, let alone buying a good thing, even buying a house for your children would be a piece of cake."
Zhou Zixi smiled with relief.
"Thank you for your encouragement."
At this time, Cao Xinheng's complaints were heard from outside.
"Washing up in the morning is not a complicated task, why do you spend so much time doing it? Hurry up, if the guests leave, you won't have the chance next time."
Cao Xinheng came with a grand procession, attracting a group of friends.
"My Lord, Princess, please collect them quickly, lest the Emperor or Lord An come and catch us red-handed, which would be disastrous."
Jiang Luo couldn't stand it anymore and started questioning and accusing.
"How can you, Brother Xinheng, speak like this when asking someone to do something for you?"
Cao Xinheng asked back arrogantly with confidence.
"I already said 'please', what's wrong with that?"
Jiang Luo blurted out without thinking.
"Same character as your son."
Cao Xinheng became very displeased and started to argue with him.
"You are wrong. I am the father and he is the son. If you must say so, he should be the same as me."
"Don't blame me. I don't think your daughter is any better."
"Growing up in Bingqingyuan, how could she be a good girl? Maybe she is thinking about seducing a married man now."
Jiang Luo was immediately furious.
"you!"
After finally waiting for a break, Zhou Zixi raised his voice to mediate and comfort the situation.
"My two wise brothers, please calm down and don't be upset."
Jiang Luo grabbed brother Zixi's left arm and told him the lawsuit, hoping that he would stand on his side.
"He slandered my beloved daughter. This is intolerable."
Cao Xinheng followed closely behind and grabbed Zhou Xiandi's right arm.
"Everyone present has seen and heard it. He was the first to ridicule my beloved son."
Looking at their childish appearance, Ning Yunxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Zhou Zixi's expression was frozen in embarrassment.
"My Lord, Junior Sister, please help me. I will try to persuade them to make peace."
After saying that, he pulled the two of them to a corner to prevent them from pushing and fighting and hurting innocent people.
The room was small and packed with people.
Ning Yunxi glanced at the crowd, and saw both elders over fifty years old and people in their thirties and forties. Roughly estimated, there were more than a hundred people.
Seeing that she looked troubled, Yan Yu couldn't help but worry, so he gave her instructions.
"If you feel tired, just take a rest. I have been practicing medicine for many years, and practice makes perfect. I have plenty of energy. With such a small number of people, it's no big deal."
Ning Yunxi shook her head gently and smiled sweetly.
"With you as my companion, I am not tired."
In this way, they worked tirelessly for more than an hour and finally completed all the collection.
Zhou Zixi worked hard and finally persuaded his two brothers to sit down, rest for a while and sip some tea.
Whenever he had a moment's free time, he couldn't help but miss his children, and he would speculate and ask about them out of concern.
"Fengzhe didn't come with us. I guess he was worried that Master Xu might have impure intentions, so he stayed with him at the other end of the secret passage, ready to respond at any time, right?"
Ning Yunxi answered while putting away the medical tools.
"Fourth Senior Brother's guess is correct. Big Brother does have doubts in his heart, but he is unable to split himself into two and has no choice but to give it a try. Therefore, the only person who can meet him at the other end of the secret passage is Lord Xu."
Zhou Zixi's brows tightened and he felt uneasy in his heart.
"Too many people to do it?"
"What's he busy with?"
Ning Yunxi did not hide anything and answered truthfully.
"He is willing to enter the palace and advise the emperor to take good care of his illness and give up the throne to a virtuous person."
Zhou Zixi's look of uneasiness became more and more intense.
"The prince is offering this kind offer, will he accept it?"
Ning Yunxi didn't understand what he meant and answered in a daze.
"Fourth Senior Brother, are you referring to the throne of King Diyue?"
"Big brother flatly refused."
Zhou Zixi was shocked and pale as he didn't expect his son to do such a stupid thing.
"what?!"
"Go and stop him quickly. If he enters the palace, Fengzhe will be in great danger!"
