Chapter 571 Showing off my sister
After surveying the terrain, Ning Yunxi suddenly had an idea and thought of another prescription to cure Gu Yuanqiong's illness.
One of the herbs needs to be picked up in the mountains.
Gu Yuanqiong had an urgent matter and had to go back to the pavilion to deal with it, so he ordered a group of guards to escort Ning Yunxi to collect herbs; only Yu Yuluan stayed by his side.
Ning Yunxi did not know the identity of the guards. Gu Yuanqiong called them followers, so all the guards called themselves servants in front of Ning Yunxi.
Gu Yuanqiong returned to Chongyixuan without stopping.
After the matter was settled, Yu Yuluan sorted out the documents and dealt with them properly. During this time, he saw a letter between Gu Yuanqiong and Ning Fengzhe, and then asked a question.
"When the prince leaves the capital, should we inform Young Master Ning?"
Gu Yuanqiong refused without even thinking.
"If you have not returned to the capital and concealed it, what else can you say when you leave the capital? If it is useful, the prince will tell you."
Yu Yuluan lowered his gaze.
"Yes, I am too talkative."
When mentioning Ning Fengzhe, Gu Yuanqiong couldn't help but complain.
"He hates me and dislikes me. He has no respect for me at all. Please judge for yourself. Where in the world can there be a second brother like him?"
"What can I do if I tell him? Is it possible that he will come to say goodbye?"
"All his affection was given to that little kid. Back then, she was just a toddler, and now, she's just a little kid. Why is she so precious to him?"
"He doesn't care about his own sister, and doesn't know how to love her at all. He just spends the whole day pestering that Ning... What's her name?"
Yu Yuluan answered respectfully.
"Ning Yunxi."
Gu Yuanqiong gritted his teeth.
"Yes, Ning Yunxi."
He had heard that her maiden name was suggested by Ning Fengzhe, and he immediately sneered.
"I am not laughing at anything else, just the name is ridiculous."
"What's so good about her? Can she be as popular as He'er?"
Yu Yuluan said one thing and meant another, always flattering others.
"The prince's third sister is, of course, the most lovable girl in the world."
Gu Yuanqiong smiled with satisfaction.
"When it comes to being fair, it's you who should be chosen."
Yu Yuluan followed suit and smiled.
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."
He got back to business.
"I have instructed the servants to pack up as soon as possible and set off once the third master returns."
The "Third Master" whom he respectfully addressed was Ning Yunxi.
Gu Yuanqiong responded casually.
"Well, clean it up."
After a moment, his thoughts turned.
"But there's no hurry to leave."
Yu Yuluan was confused and puzzled.
"My Lord, is there anything else you want to do?"
Gu Yuanqiong raised his lips, gradually revealing a cunning look.
"I have changed my mind and thought about it. Your idea is good."
"I should write a letter to show off to him my new sister, to avenge the shame of being shown off by him back then."
"He is a man who particularly loves girls from outside his family. If he heard that my third sister is pretty and charming, he would definitely come to see her."
"This is the letter, please deliver it immediately."
Yu Yuluan responded.
"I obey my orders."
In a blink of an eye, Wen Jia received Gu Yuanqiong's handwritten letter and sent it to Beitangju.
"Sir, the messenger from Prince Li has a letter."
Ning Fengzhe's desk was covered with news from the secret guards.
In the past few days, he had been almost sleepless. When he went out, he was looking for his sister. When he came back, he was integrating information and searching for clues about his sister.
After several days without any clue, he became anxious and angry.
"I don't have time to read the letter. Can't you see I'm busy?"
"If I can't find Xi'er, I will die as a token of my apology..."
He looked haggard, but he was still tireless and kept searching for useful clues.
He was slow to react and was shocked when he heard the word "Li Wang", thinking he had heard it wrong.
"Ok?"
"Who is the messenger?"
Wen Jia replied, his words clear.
"Your Highness Prince Li."
Ning Fengzhe was even more shocked when he was sure he had heard it correctly.
"He returned to Beijing in seclusion?"
Wen Jia shook his head.
"I don't know."
Ning Fengzhe freed one hand and opened his palm.
"If there is any news about Xi'er, bring it to me."
Before Wen Jia could hand it over, Ning Fengzhe had already snatched it, quickly opened the envelope, and read it with his eyes lowered: I am about to leave Beijing, and I want to meet you. I have a new sister, who is a genius and versatile, very lovely, and I would like to introduce her to you. Are you interested?
Ning Fengzhe was overwhelmed with joy and surprise.
"I already know where Xi'er is. I'm going to find her now!"
Wen Jia asked with concern.
"Will the servant accompany you?"
Thinking that Xi'er was safe and sound, Ning Fengzhe's haggard face was filled with waves of joy.
"Need not."
"Go to Xu's house and tell Lord Xu that there is no need to look for him anymore and he can recall the secret guards."
Wen Jia took the order and left.
"Yes."
Ning Fengzhe rode a fast horse, left the house quietly, and rushed to Chongyixuan in the western suburbs.
Ning Fengzhe simply asked about the whereabouts and rushed in without reporting.
Hearing the footsteps, Gu Yuanqiong looked up and took the initiative to make sarcastic remarks.
"Hey? Young Master Ning Yulin."
"Why are you so concerned about someone else's sister? Don't you want Ning Yunxi anymore?"
Ning Fengzhe understood the meaning of the words and was secretly shocked.
I thought he would take advantage of the situation, detain Xier, and write letters to show off his power.
As a result, he didn't even know who his sister was?
I think it's Xier. Remember my words and don't reveal your identity casually in outside.
Or maybe I misunderstood, and this sister is not Xier at all.
After thinking about it, Ning Fengzhe asked and looked around to see if there was any sign of Xier living there.
"What about her?"
Gu Yuanqiong was slightly startled by the sudden question.
"Are you asking about my sister?"
Observing his expression and knowing exactly what he meant, he smiled complacently, poured a cup of tea, placed it on the coffee table, and motioned Ning Fengzhe to take a seat.
"You came at an unlucky time. She has not returned yet. Please wait a moment. She will be back soon."
"I'm telling you this. This new sister not only saved my life, but she also took the initiative to treat my illness..."
Ning Fengzhe turned a deaf ear to Xuande's words and focused on observing.
After seeing several pieces of furniture decorated according to Xier's habits, he interrupted Gu Yuanqiong and gave a cold order.
"Come out with me."
After being named Prince of Li, he still maintained this attitude. Gu Yuanqiong was dissatisfied but deliberately did not show it and continued to show off.
"Where are you going? If I go too far, my third sister will come back and won't see me, and she will definitely cry anxiously."
"We brothers and sisters have a much closer relationship than you brothers and sisters."
Ning Fengzhe's momentum did not diminish, and he even felt a little angry.
"I said, come with me, why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Gu Yuanqiong looked arrogant and held himself high, unwilling to be outdone.
"Why? Are you jealous because I have a younger sister?"
Ning Fengzhe took out a porcelain vase and played with it in his hands, not sparing in showing his inhumane brutality.
"I have already planted some medicine on your good sister. If you keep talking nonsense, I will activate the medicine and send her to the west."
Gu Yuanqiong almost couldn't hold the teacup steady.
"Don't talk nonsense. Don't you know where she is?"
A hint of contempt appeared on Ning Fengzhe's lips.
"We just ran into each other on the road, planting some medicine for emergency use. Your guards are with her, right?"
When he entered the courtyard, he found that Yu Yuluan was the only guard left, so he made this guess.
He was on good terms with An Pengyi and his gang, secretly in control of the Tongshitai, and knew exactly how many guards Gu Yuanqiong had employed.
Gu Yuanqiong was instantly confused.
"you……"
It's not that he couldn't guess that Ning Fengzhe's words were not credible, but he didn't want to gamble with her safety, so he had no choice but to agree.
"Okay, okay, don't be impulsive. I will follow you out now. You can go anywhere."
