Chapter 492: Everything is gone
Ning Fengzhe felt no pain, had no idea of the situation, and was only focused on comforting her.
"In my previous life, I watched you die miserably. I was not able to bear your pain. I am sorry for you."
"I don't know how I felt in my previous life, but I feel that the arrangements in this life are excellent."
"Big brother, as you think in your heart, you can't avoid being a little selfish. In this life, I don't want to see you die with your eyes wide open, so you can only bear it, and I will go first."
"The only thing that worries me is that I can no longer accompany you to be punished. I am afraid that you will be lonely, afraid that you will cry, and I am afraid that others will not know how to comfort you."
"Xi'er, don't cry. Brother is a bad man. Evil people should be let go. Don't remember them. What do you think?"
Ning Yunxi burst into tears, shook her head reluctantly, and answered without saying a word.
Ning Fengzhe picked up a corner of his sleeve and gently wiped her tears.
"I often wonder, we are obviously in the same boat, but why can't we really help each other..."
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly felt his fingertips become weak, as if they had lost consciousness. He suddenly realized that he would not live long.
"Before, I was your elder brother, and there were some things I could only keep in my heart and could not tell you. Now, I have left the Ning clan and regained my status as a prince. I have no blood relationship with you, nor are we relatives, so I can finally tell you my true feelings."
"If there is an afterlife, we will not fight or quarrel, but share the joys and sorrows and be a family, okay?"
"I want to take care of you for the rest of my life and protect you from being hurt by others."
Ning Yunxi nodded repeatedly, tears streaming down her face.
"Okay, if there is an afterlife, you will still be my big brother, forever and ever, we are all a family."
Ning Fengzhe sighed helplessly, his breath becoming weaker and weaker.
"Alas, how could you not understand what I mean? I don't want to be your brother, I want to be with you..."
There was a sharp pain in his heart, blurring his vision and Xi'er's sorrowful face. He just opened his mouth to say the last two words without making a sound.
The darkness gradually faded before his eyes, his pupils trembled, his eyes were wide open with fear, he was reluctant to leave her, and stared at her intently.
He tried his best to express his feelings, and repeated it several times, but she was still silent and helpless. He unconsciously held her hands, as if begging for help, as if pouring out his heart.
Suddenly, the medical space appeared in front of him.
But soon, it all disappeared.
Ning Fengzhe thought silently.
This is what the prince said, his medical laboratory in the 22nd century, right?
Seeing him collapse, Ning Yunxi reached out to help him up, but she didn't have enough strength left and fell down on the couch with him.
"Big brother!"
She quickly sat up, knelt beside him, bowed her head, and answered his questions with tears in her eyes.
"I understand the lip movements."
"I promise you...I promise you..."
The meteorite fragments silently acted on Ning Yunxi's body, and all the things from her past life came flooding back to her, vividly remembering her.
In the early years of Shengping, Ning Fengzhe successfully escaped from the Xingliang Palace with his own wisdom, and was escorted back to Shengjing by Fang Zhixuan and a group of guards from the Supervisory Office.
His father's coldness and his mother's indifference made him feel disheartened.
The injuries inflicted on the body will take a long time to heal; the pain in the heart will be hard to go away day by day.
That year, the Ningguo Mansion was renovated, and his residence was renamed Beitangju with the special permission of his father and the inscription of his mother.
To outsiders, he seemed to be so young but already appreciated and valued by the emperor, enjoying great glory. But only he knew how much hard work he had put in behind the scenes.
One day, two uninvited guests came to Beitangju, the imperial physician Fang Linhao and the imperial minister Fang Renshu.
Knowing that the people of the Fang clan were cunning and intelligent, and that they were enemies of his father, Ning Fengzhe responded with caution, fearing that he might end up in a disadvantageous position.
Fortunately, they just came to deliver gifts and congratulate Ning Fengzhe on his safe return to the capital and his rapid rise to become the youngest counselor of the Yuesheng Dynasty.
After seeing off the two Lord Fangs, Ning Fengzhe passed by the front yard and saw his mother's personal maid Shui Zhi tiptoeing and carrying a baby in from the side door.
Feeling an inexplicable attraction, he quickly followed after her.
"You, stop."
Shui Zhi followed his instructions and stopped to greet him.
"My Lord, all is well."
The baby was wrapped in a brocade quilt. Ning Fengzhe looked up, but could not see the lovely face.
"Where did the child come from?"
Shui Zhi lowered her voice and answered respectfully.
"My Lord, this is the third daughter that Madam gave birth to today after ten months of pregnancy."
Ning Fengzhe was somewhat shocked and somewhat confused.
"Ten months of pregnancy?"
"A few days ago, my mother's abdomen was flat; before I left Beijing, I had not heard that she was pregnant."
"Why did she give birth to a third sister?"
"Could it be that she was adopted?"
Shui Zhi concealed the meaning and conveyed the lady's words.
"Madam specifically instructed that when she found out she was pregnant last year, the second young master was at the right age to play around, so in order to prevent him from accidentally hurting the fetus, she asked him to live in the Mu Mansion for a while."
"My Lord, I witnessed with my own eyes the birth of the third daughter after ten months of pregnancy. At the door of the delivery room, you were always by her side. When the third daughter was born, you handed her the quilt with your own hands. My Lord, please think about it, how could the third daughter be adopted?"
Ning Fengzhe sneered.
"Oh, mother's words are full of loopholes, how could she hide it from everyone?"
Shui Zhi looked confused, not understanding what she had missed.
"I think this is the truth and outsiders cannot deny it."
Ning Fengzhe had his own way and was too lazy to talk to her.
"Whatever you say, that's what it is."
He spread his arms in a gesture of approval.
"I'll hold her."
Shui Zhi smiled with embarrassment and did not dare to change hands.
"My eldest son is still young. If he falls, I won't be able to take the responsibility."
Ning Fengzhe raised his eyes with a stern look, and he looked intimidating without even getting angry.
"You dare not obey my orders. Do you think you can afford to offend my thunder?"
He took out the dagger he carried with him, and gently stroked the sharp edge with his fingertips, and intentionally or unintentionally, a crisp sound was produced.
"Escaping from Xingliang, I crawled out step by step from the crimson dripping. I have seen shapes, all different, some are unrecognizable, some have their heads cut in half, all are very beautiful."
"You women all value beauty. How about I help you put on some makeup while watching the beautiful scenery of Xingliang?"
Shui Zhi's smile suddenly disappeared, as if she had fallen into an abyss, she was terrified and frightened.
"Please forgive me, my lord. I know I was wrong."
Ning Fengzhe put away the dagger, stretched out his arms again, and gave the order in a deep voice.
"Give me."
Shui Zhi frowned and handed it to him reluctantly.
"Yes."
The moment he held the baby in his arms, Ning Fengzhe showed a hint of joy and asked casually.
"Where is the second brother?"
Shui Zhi stood respectfully with lowered eyebrows.
"The second young master is still at the Mu Mansion. Madam is still in confinement, so I asked the eldest young master to pick her up."
Ning Fengzhe refused without hesitation.
"I'm busy. Let's do it another day."
Shui Zhi had no choice but to respond.
"Yes."
Without waiting for her to say goodbye, Ning Fengzhe waved his hand and drove her away.
He looked around and came to a sheltered corner. With anticipation, he opened a corner of the quilt, revealing the baby's delicate and lovely face.
He glanced down and froze in place.
This sister, why does she look so familiar?
There was a purse in the baby's arms. Ning Fengzhe found a stone step and sat down, then opened the purse and took a look.
Written in black and white on the paper was the baby’s name: Yunxi.
Her original surname is Yun?
