Chapter 540 Two tigers fighting each other
Gu Yuanqiong replied seriously.
"Your brilliant plan is brilliant and far-sighted. I also want to think of this plan."
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhe was at a loss for words and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
When I heard his compliment, I thought it was a dead tree coming back to life or a rotten wood blooming, but he suddenly changed the subject and found out he was praising himself.
Stop bragging and let Gu Yuanqiong leisurely point out the mistakes.
"However, this plan has a loophole."
Ning Fengzhe's eyes were filled with confusion.
"I am not very talented, but I would like to hear more details."
Gu Yuanqiong was comfortable and calm, with explicit and implicit hints.
"Being away from the capital for too long and being out of touch with the government is undoubtedly putting you in a dangerous situation, treading on thin ice."
"Someone must stay in Shengjing to control the situation and protect me. In the future, they must work together to help me return to the capital."
"Father, you must be on guard against the people of Beizhaotai at all times. They can only serve as a reinforcement and should not lie dormant inside."
"Lord Ning, huh, you are not fit for any important task."
"You are quite serviceable."
Such a small matter is actually worth mentioning. Ning Fengzhe complained in his heart, but remained respectful on the surface.
"Your Highness, please be at ease."
"As long as my father is safe, Your Highness will be able to overcome all dangers."
With his promise, Gu Yuanqiong felt relieved, and his eyes gradually became strange.
"Then you better be careful. When I get to Beizhaotai, the first thing I will do is use them to control your family."
Ning Fengzhe lowered his eyes, hiding the cunning in his eyes.
"Yes, Xiaoke obeys."
Gu Yuanqiong withdrew his gaze and looked at the fruit plate, enjoying it with relish.
"I will host a dinner at noon tomorrow. I will not wait for you after the time limit. I hope your father will not break the appointment."
Ning Fengzhe stood up and saluted respectfully.
"Thank you, Your Highness. Please allow me to take my leave and return home to tell my father."
Gu Yuanqiong waved his hands.
"Go."
After confirming that Ning Fengzhe had gone far away, Xue Yi'e raised a sly smile and deliberately teased her beloved son.
"Look at the ordinary kids. They are much smarter than you. What did I say? You are useless."
Gu Yuanqiong was suddenly humiliated and angry, and started to get serious about it.
"How can mother be so unreasonable?"
"He has a mysterious mind and foresight. Is that an ordinary child?"
"It's really strange. Lord Ning and Madam Ning are ordinary people, how could they give birth to such a powerful person?"
Xue Yi'e became serious again, and stopped at the right point without making any more jokes.
"It seems that he is not Lord Ning's son."
Gu Yuanqiong didn't understand, misunderstood for a moment, and was shocked.
"Why not a son?"
"She's a girl?!"
Xue Yi'e was so angry that she wanted to laugh, so she increased the force of her palm and slapped his forehead.
"What nonsense are you talking about, you stupid boy."
"I mean, he looks like a prince."
"Don't you think you look alike?"
Gu Yuanqiong was confused.
"Really? The child was unaware."
"He's so ugly, he probably doesn't look like me."
Xue Yi'e taught seriously.
"You are arrogant and look down on others. You should seriously learn the humility of Master Ning."
Gu Yuanqiong disagreed.
"I think so, mother is worrying too much."
"He is a prince, why would he go to such lengths to protect Lord Ning?"
"Could it be that you don't know your own life experience?"
"He's so smart, how could he not know?"
Hearing his questions without any humility, Xue Yi'e was furious.
"you ask me?"
"You two are young, but your hidden thoughts are unfathomable. How can I know this?"
Not wanting to listen to her teaching the rules and chattering, Gu Yuanqiong quickly smiled apologetically.
"Yes, yes, my son is abrupt. I will check it myself when I have time."
Seeing that he had learned his lesson, Xue Yi'e reluctantly let it go and changed the subject to ask about his business.
"You usually speak freely but not rashly. Why are you so reckless today and tell him about Lord Zhuang's affairs?"
"Didn't we agree to secretly get rid of Fang Zhixuan?"
"Mr. Ning is the emperor's man. You said clearly that knowing Lord Zhuang's background would inevitably alert the enemy. Before we could get rid of Fang Zhixuan, the emperor would take the initiative and join forces with him to guard against you."
Gu Yuanqiong was calm and composed, playing with the tableware in his hands, as if everything was under control.
"Fang Renshu's plan is so flawed that it's hard to find any loopholes; Fang Zhixuan's strategy is so difficult to match."
"The plan is silent. I have tried it several times, but all failed. Rather than going down this path to the end, it is better to borrow the help of others. Fortunately, I have the genius of Ning Fengzhe. I think it is the best strategy to make the two tigers fight each other."
"Don't worry, mother. I will plan the whole thing and will definitely not leave any traces. Let him report to father."
Xue Yi'e pondered over it but could not find a solution, so she asked in confusion.
"Isn't it more difficult to plot like this?"
"That Fang Zhixuan is not the emperor's biological brother at all. Why would you use someone else as a pretext to get rid of him?"
Gu Yuanqiong imitated filial piety and humility, picked up a clean tableware, and fed his mother a piece of melon.
"Recently, I have been thinking about this matter and found that there is something wrong with it."
"Fang Zhixuan, openly, I can't get rid of him."
When Xue Yi'e was fed by her son, her face and mood were filled with happiness, and her tone of voice changed to be as gentle as water.
"Why?"
It was rare for the mother to smile, and Gu Yuanqiong fed her one piece after another, happily.
"First, it seems that there is a suspicion of harming the emperor's uncle. If the emperor becomes suspicious, there will be endless troubles."
"Secondly, Fang Zhixuan was defeated and died, and Zhuang Shao is likely to follow him underground. If I show up and participate, then my relatives and benefactors will commit suicide, and my father's hatred will definitely be remembered by me."
"The relationship between father and son has no room for maneuver. The success that the child has worked so hard to achieve has been taken away by others."
Her loving son was filial and the tide came, Xue Yi'e could not bear it and retreated again and again.
"Enough, enough, wait a minute, I can't eat so much."
Gu Yuanqiong stopped in response, and intentionally or unintentionally imitated Ning Fengzhe's elegant smile, and looked at his mother obediently.
Xue Yi'e felt very warmed, smiled back, took out a silk handkerchief and wiped her lips gently.
"In this case, using Young Master Ning is indeed the best option."
"They are both by the emperor's side. Given time, they may become enemies. It is reasonable to have him get rid of Fang Zhixuan and Zhuang Shao. Moreover, it is not easy for the emperor to guess that you are behind the scenes."
"In the fight for the throne, Young Master Ning is a strong enemy. It is only natural that we can use this strategy to make the monarch and his ministers lose their minds."
“The best of both worlds.”
Having said this, she was stunned, her eyes filled with guilt.
"Oops, I shouldn't have interrupted you just now."
Gu Yuanqiong smiles gently in the spring breeze, and her quiet shadow is as clear as a jade.
"My mother's interruption just shows that I am not being deliberate. It's like we hit it off right away, or like wise men appreciate each other and we unconsciously open our hearts to talk."
"This is the finishing touch, very wise."
Xue Yie looked worried.
"You said so little, but I'm afraid he might just listen but not understand it at all."
Gu Yuanqiong was free from worries.
"Mother is making fun of you."
"Those words were enough for him to make his own inferences and conduct secret investigations."
Xue Yi'e was worried and gave a serious reminder.
"Young Master Ning has a complicated mind and is difficult to calculate. You have used a trick to get him involved, so be careful not to be outmaneuvered by him."
Gu Yuanqiong was calm and composed.
"We have been scheming against each other. I have my own ideas, and he has his own strategies. Let's see who can defeat whom and who will hold the throne."
