Chapter 550 No One is Willing to Help Me
The Emperor Sheng Palace is built with jade and decorated with dragons, and its beauty is magnificent and overflowing.
Mu Rong cried bitterly, the severe frost was sorrowful, and the magnificent scenery was also covered with a touch of sadness.
"This is what happened. I beg Your Majesty to make the decision for me."
Gu Mengzhen flipped through the memorial, but had no intention of listening carefully.
"I understand, please withdraw."
There were no outsiders in the hall, so Mu Rong acted shyly and coquettishly.
"emperor."
Gu Mengzhen closed the memorial and looked at her coldly.
"Anything else?"
Mu Rong was kneeling in the hall with a graceful posture, her eyes full of longing, melancholy yet charming.
"Please remember my wife, I am deeply in love with you."
Seeing this, Gu Mengzhen was filled with disgust. He turned his eyes away and picked up his pen to review the memorial.
"You are Madam Ning now. If you are wronged outside, you should go to Lord Ning."
"You come to bother me with such a small matter. You can be at ease."
Unable to lure him, Mu Rong changed her tactics.
"I am unworthy of receiving the grace of Your Majesty, but Fengzhe... if he saw my red and swollen cheeks, he would definitely feel distressed. Your Majesty, please help me for his sake."
Gu Mengzhen refused without hesitation.
"I know right from wrong and don't know how to be an accomplice to a tiger."
Mu Rong argued neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"I have suffered injustice, and I have done nothing wrong. Your Majesty's protection is just, and it is absolutely not an act of accomplice to the evil."
Gu Mengzhen was a little annoyed. He put down his pen and the memorial.
"Nothing wrong?"
"Let me ask you, if you hadn't provoked him, why would Lord Wei attack you for no reason?"
Mu Rong burst into tears.
"I didn't provoke her, she just attacked me for no reason."
Gu Mengzhen made a decisive conclusion.
"I know very well that Lord Wei is not an impulsive and violent person."
Mu Rong inferred and asked back.
"Does the emperor think that the way he sees me is that I am someone who likes to frame people?"
Gu Mengzhen looked at him with disdain in his dragon eyes.
"if not?"
"Why was the Fang family exterminated? Do you need me to tell you about your shameful deeds one by one, or even make them public to the world?"
Mu Rong acted as if she was heartbroken, which was very pitiful.
"How can you generalize? I have tried every possible means to destroy the Fang clan, all for your sake, Your Majesty."
Gu Mengzhen didn't care as it had nothing to do with him.
"I can tell whether you have any selfish thoughts or not."
Mu Rong was shameless and kept pestering him, refusing to give up easily.
"So what? For you, for me, or for our Fengzhe, what's wrong with that?"
Gu Mengzhen was extremely disgusted and quickly distanced himself from the matter.
"Don't be so reckless. You and I are not from the same family."
Mu Rong was so angry that she was exhausted.
"You've used me for a reason, but now you're abandoning me. How can Your Majesty feel at ease?"
Upon hearing that something was not right, Gu Mengzhen's brows quickly turned fierce.
"I advise you to be careful with your words."
"Mu Rong, I have been very patient with you and have done my best. If you want to see how to deal with the crime of disrespect, I will grant your wish immediately."
After he reminded her, Mu Rong realized the difference between the ruler and his subjects, and immediately lowered her brows.
"I dare not do that. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Gu Mengzhen was merciless and gave a serious warning.
"Mrs. Mu, you have spoken rudely. Come, drag her out, give her fifty strokes of the cane, and throw her out of the palace."
Mu Rong was horrified and begged for mercy repeatedly.
"Your Majesty, please don't do that. I know I was wrong, and I will never dare to do that again..."
Gu Mengzhen was ruthless and had no mercy at all. Just like that, Mu Rong was driven out of the palace by him. She collapsed on the street in a horrible state.
Ning Fengzhe had anticipated everything and had been waiting outside the North Palace gate. He pretended to be strolling in the streets and ran into Mu Rong by chance.
"Mother?"
"What happened to mother?"
Seeing that it was her eldest son, Mu Rong threw herself into his arms, feeling ashamed and burst into tears.
“Bong-chul…ah…”
Ning Fengzhe comforted his mother while giving instructions to the servants behind him.
"Mother, don't be afraid. As long as I am here, if anyone dares to bully you, I will fight him to the death."
"Quick, help the lady to get into the carriage and return home immediately."
Mu Rong was seriously injured and unable to stand. She lay on the carriage seat and cried about her situation.
"I visited the Teng Mansion..."
Ning Fengzhe listened carefully and meticulously.
With her beloved son by her side, Mu Rong felt a little comforted in her heart. Her crying gradually stopped, leaving only sobbing.
"My mother was cowardly and incompetent. She was bullied and had no power to resist. No one was willing to help me."
Ning Fengzhe took out a clean silk handkerchief and wiped away her tears.
"In the child's heart, the mother is the best in the world."
Mu Rong was touched.
"Good boy, luckily I still have you."
Ning Fengzhe is comforting and delicate.
"Don't worry, mother. No matter what time it is, your child will always be here and will never leave you."
Mu Rong was filled with tears of joy.
"Fong Cheol, thank you so much."
On second thought, she couldn't help feeling ashamed.
"Mother has wronged you and caused you to be separated from your biological father and live in the Ningguo Mansion."
"You were trapped in Xingliang, and I had no ability to rescue you. Fortunately, God was merciful and everyone praised your merits and helped you return to the capital safely. As for me, I have accomplished nothing and can only scramble for God's advice and pretend to be a loving mother."
"Not only did you not blame me, you also cooperated with me and told others that it was my mother's good intentions."
"I owe you so much."
Ning Fengzhe smiled meaninglessly, as if nothing had happened.
"These things have long passed. My mother always talks about them, which only makes me sad. Why bother?"
"Don't worry, mother. I don't mind. As long as mother and son are reunited, I will be satisfied."
His smile changed and he felt deeply guilty.
"Looking back at what happened today, I am the one who should apologize."
"It's all my fault. When I reported to my father, I looked around, afraid to say the wrong thing. Unexpectedly, I accidentally caused a lot of trouble for my mother."
"I'm sorry, mother."
Mu Rong shook her head slightly.
"Someone planned this, it's not your fault."
Ning Fengzhe spoke with confidence.
"It's the child's fault. I should find a way to solve it."
"I have a plan that can solve this urgent problem. I wonder if mother is willing to listen to it?"
Knowing that he meant well, Mu Rong couldn't bear to let him down, so she humbled herself and listened attentively.
"You said."
Ning Fengzhe has unique insights and expounds on strategies.
"My mother is already trapped in a situation. If she insists on breaking it, she will inevitably get deeper into it and it will be even more difficult to extricate herself."
"Everything has multiple sides, and mothers can think outside the box and find another way."
"My child has a shallow opinion. Mother has taken the initiative to propose to raise Ning Wanshan by her side, to treat her wholeheartedly and with great care, like a biological mother. This will surely calm father's heart and make him no longer suspicious of you."
Mu Rong was caught off guard and found it unbelievable that she had to suddenly raise Ning Wanshan.
"What is the relationship between these two?"
Ning Fengzhe unravels the mystery and analyzes the reasons in detail.
"Mother's righteous actions just prove that you have no intention of fighting for the family. Then, how could you have the intention to plot against the Zheng family?"
"From this, it can be seen that the change in Yin Sitai has nothing to do with you."
"First calm my father down, and then I can slowly gather evidence. My plan is, first, to buy time for my mother to prove her innocence; second, to show my mother's virtue and praise her for the world. I foolishly admit it, and I have the best of both worlds."
Mu Rong looked embarrassed.
"That's a good idea indeed."
"But I'm afraid that after all my efforts to redress the injustice, it will end badly. I can't love Ning Wanshan for the rest of my life, right?"
Ning Fengzhe answered casually.
"The current predicament is more urgent; let's talk about the future later."
