Chapter 491 The Dream
Ning Yunxi looked at him with a lingering gaze and spoke from the bottom of her heart.
"Uncle Shao is very good. He is good to me and my fourth sister. He is loyal to Emperor Yan and is unwavering in his devotion."
"I am indeed indecisive, but I cannot deny Uncle Shao's loyalty. If I abandon him, my brother will lose a loyal and virtuous minister by his side."
Ning Fengzhe is straightforward in judging right and wrong.
"Crooked."
"The situation is urgent and dire. On one side is his brother, and on the other is King Di Jin. What do you think he will choose?"
Ning Yunxi answered with faith.
"If filial piety and brotherly love are not acceptable, then kindness will be severed by righteousness."
Ning Fengzhe asked in rebuttal.
"If it were you, would you be so cruel to me?"
Stunned by his question, Ning Yunxi hesitated to speak.
"I……"
Like a net in order, Ning Fengzhe can make decisions as smoothly as flowing water.
"If you are a little more ruthless and send the antidote again, the facts will be determined long ago."
"What do you think is the difference between you and my uncle?"
"That's why I want to advise you not to raise a tiger to cause trouble."
Ning Yunxi's eyes were determined and her trust was unwavering.
"Uncle Shao is different from me. He is righteous and firm in his thoughts, unlike me who hesitates to make decisions."
"Anyway, I won't hurt him, and I believe he won't be able to hurt me either."
Seeing this, he realized that they were close friends regardless of age difference, so Ning Fengzhe immediately changed his words.
"I hope so."
"Since you are determined, I will not persuade you any more. Everything is up to you."
Ning Yunxi lowered her head and was submissive.
"Thank you for your understanding, big brother."
Still feeling uneasy, Ning Fengzhe gave careful instructions.
"The emperor's uncle and his family are walking on thin ice. You must find another way to help them escape and return. Don't be obsessed with the 'stealing' strategy, otherwise, their lives will be in danger."
Ning Yunxi nodded in response.
"Yes."
Ning Fengzhe added with concern.
"You must pay attention to it and think about it more. My second brother is still at their house."
Ning Yunxi looked serious.
"Yes, I'll remember that."
Ning Fengzhe was frowning and still had some concerns.
"There is one more thing I want to tell you."
Ning Yunxi listened attentively and responded immediately.
"Brother, please speak."
Ning Fengzhe's face looked gloomy and serious.
"When admonishing the emperor in the main hall, my father suddenly mentioned a person named Gu Hao, saying that he was the beloved son of him and Queen Zhenyu."
"I have never heard of this. Do you know this person?"
After some anxious thought, Ning Yunxi gave the answer.
"Gu Hao... I have never heard of him in my past life or this life."
Her expression was puzzling.
"So, the rumors are true, and Queen Zhenyu and the Emperor are childhood sweethearts, and they are in love with each other?"
"Remember, elder brother, based on the emperor's words and analysis of past events, he guessed that the emperor had feelings for the late queen and that she had no feelings for him. Fourth senior brother also made the same judgment, and the emperor is still innocent."
"If that's the case, how can they have a beloved son?"
Ning Fengzhe was confused and somewhat bewildered.
"Perhaps we all guessed wrong?"
Ning Yunxi looked distressed and didn't understand what was going on.
"Secrets from the early years are rarely known to the public, and with the passage of time, there is really no way to find out."
"Brother, what is the meaning of mentioning this prince?"
Ning Fengzhe unravels the mystery and analyzes the details.
"I heard from my father that this person was raised outside the palace and was well protected. I, the minister, was ignorant and no one knew about it."
"Father's attitude is undoubtedly candid, and it doesn't seem like he is lying."
"Empress Zhenyu has been dead for more than 20 years. According to calculations, Gu Hao has long passed the age of coming of age. As her only beloved son, she must have high hopes for him. How could he grow up and not be announced to the world and welcomed back to the palace?"
"I guess that this prince is loyal to the Yan clan, and my father cannot persuade him, so I dare not entrust him with important power."
Ning Yunxi had no objection, then asked a question.
"Brother, do you want me to go find him?"
Ning Fengzhe expressed his thoughts slowly and calmly.
"Ah."
"It is obvious that the emperor loves you. If he brings the existing prescription to the palace to persuade people to use the medicine, it will not only be more effective, but also save you the trouble of thinking hard to develop a new medicine."
"When the emperor has taken the medicine for a while and his condition has improved, he can propose to abdicate and let others take over. It will surely be a great success."
Ning Yunxixia was thinking about the world, and suddenly an idea came to her.
"This beloved son, could it be my brother?"
Ning Fengzhe was caught off guard and started.
"what?"
Ning Yunxi analyzed the issue in detail to explain his argument.
"Brother, isn't it just raised outside the palace? It just so happens that he is also the daughter of Queen Zhenyu."
The news came unexpectedly, and Ning Fengzhe was a little slow to react.
"You... Have you never tested the prince's kinship?"
Ning Yunxi was unsure and not entirely sure.
“It seems that it has not been tested.”
Ning Fengzhe regained his composure and quickly drew a conclusion.
"Father treats the prince worse than we do. This is absolutely impossible."
Ning Yunxi's eyes wandered, and she looked a little embarrassed.
"Then pretend I never said anything."
She quickly got back to business.
"I think this prince should be living a life of luxury, and his residence is comparable to that of an imperial palace. This is easy to do, there are not many luxurious places in the world. I will send a letter urgently, asking the supervisors of various places to secretly search all the houses. Within a month, there will definitely be some gains."
Ning Fengzhe finished speaking and then made a proposal.
"okay."
"Mr. Zhou is a great sage in the world. His bloodline cannot be recognized carelessly. Please collect it for me. When you are free, can you confirm the relationship?"
Ning Yunxi touched the silver ring and went to get the necessary tools.
"Yes."
After collecting the money, Ning Fengzhe reached into his arms and took out a few silver bills.
"Just now, I saw you crying, so I didn't dare to say anything in detail. There is also a wedding gift."
He smiled faintly and handed the banknote to Xier.
"A few days ago, I went back to Ning Mansion and persuaded my mother to give up helping Prince Chen. She mistakenly thought that I left without saying goodbye because of the mansion, so she gave me a banknote and asked me to choose a house to be the Huixin Mansion."
"I have never been particular about where I live. I have always accepted the banknotes, but I just want to give them to you."
"I told you that I would help you get back what they owed you. Unfortunately, your life is too short, and I will leave you if I can't get it back in full."
"Xi'er, I'm sorry."
The sad and beautiful drops came again, drowning Ning Yunxi's almond-shaped eyes, feeling deeply sad.
"This is a gift from your mother. I won't accept it."
"Big brother, how can you be so careless about your residence? I will go and choose a house for you to live in on the side of Yuexi Mansion. In name, you and I live in the same mansion, and you are the eldest brother and I am the younger sister. What do you think, big brother?"
Ning Fengzhe's elegant appearance is like the crystal morning dew, full of endless gentleness and infinite love.
"I can't use the house, so why don't you go buy something you like?"
"If you can make me smile, I will feel happy."
Ning Yunxi's two lines of clear tears blended into her sobs, forming a scene of sadness.
"I should be happy that my brother dotes on me, but I can't smile..."
Although she didn't mean to make him cry, she was always moved. Ning Fengzhe was full of heartache and patiently comforted her.
"Xi'er, don't cry."
"Being able to walk together without having to go against you is what I have always dreamed of. Fortunately, I have achieved this in this life. I will die without regrets and smile in my grave."
"Besides, my father has issued an edict to appoint me as Crown Prince Wen Jue, and has also written a petition to ask Prince Di Jin to allow me to be buried with the emperor's funeral rites."
"This is a happy funeral, you don't need to cry."
Ning Fengzhe's lips slowly raised to a smile, but his face became increasingly gloomy and haggard without him noticing.
Seeing that his brother was about to pass away, Ning Yunxi was heartbroken and burst into tears.
