Chapter 572: Talking about Fun and Getting Angry

Ning Fengzhe chose a secluded place on the hillside and stopped.

Gu Yuanqiong followed closely behind and stopped.

"The king is out, where is the antidote?"

He stretched out his hand to ask for it, with a serious expression, expressing his intention.

"She is very important to me, please don't hurt her."

Ning Fengzhe felt disgusted, his eyes were sharp, grabbing and quenching.

"Is it very important? We have only known each other for a few days, and yet you are so shameless. Your Highness Prince Li is really too thick-skinned."

He was furious and asked in a threatening manner.

"If you want your sister to accompany you, go to the palace and find one. There are so many princesses, and you still think that's not enough. Why kidnap my sister?!"

When Gu Yuanqiong heard the key point, his mind went blank for a moment.

"Your sister?"

After being stunned for a long time, he finally reacted.

"She is... Miss Ning San?"

Ning Fengzhe demanded.

"Now that you know, return my sister to me immediately!"

Gu Yuanqiong was still concerned about the safety of his third sister and asked one more question.

"So, you don't grow any medicine?"

Ning Fengzhe had no intention of answering, he just wanted to emphasize his words.

"I said, give my sister back to me."

Gu Yuanqiong was depressed and speechless.

Thinking back on the days they had spent together, he was extremely reluctant to let her go. He not only cherished her virtues, but also her talents.

However, as fate would have it, how could she be the third sister of the Ning family?

Ning Fengzhe asked angrily.

"Tell me quickly, where is Xi'er?"

Gu Yuanqiong quietly sorted out his troubled thoughts and soon returned to his usual smile, looking handsome, unrestrained, elegant and carefree.

"Your third sister is my third sister, isn't she? We should share everything together. Why are you so stingy?"

Ning Fengzhe slightly turned his face and glanced sideways, and wherever his eyes looked, there was extreme disgust.

"nonsense."

"How did my Xi'er become your third sister?"

Gu Yuanqiong couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Your Brook, huh."

After laughing, he leisurely pointed out the truth.

"We are both royals, aren't we?"

Ning Fengzhe frowned.

"Are you checking my privacy again?"

Gu Yuanqiong lied with his eyes open.

"Didn't check."

"Many people say that we look alike. When we first met, I knew your background at a glance."

He took two steps forward and faced him head on, using both explicit and implicit metaphors, with hidden meanings in his words.

"We are one family, and we are inseparable. Your third sister is my third sister."

Ning Fengzhe just looked at him with disdain, not understanding the metaphor, nor caring about the hidden meaning in his words.

"Stop playing word games with me. Who are we family members?"

"Why did you kidnap my sister for no reason?"

Gu Yuanqiong looked nonchalant, mixed with a hint of joking.

"What do you mean by kidnapped? That's too harsh."

"You don't want her anymore, but you don't allow me to want her?"

Ning Fengzhe became a little angry when his sore spot was touched.

"What do you want? What does she have to do with you?"

Gu Yuanqiong was playfully enraged, not even a hint of backing down.

"You don't know, we have already exchanged tokens."

A bad feeling suddenly came over Ning Fengzhe, who seemed to understand but not quite.

"What token?"

Gu Yuanqiong raised his eyebrows.

"A token, what else could it be?"

"I gave her a heart-shaped jade locket, and she gave me a Penglai jade pendant in return, and we made a promise to never separate."

He stroked the jade pendant on his waist with his fingertips, nonchalantly and with a hint of frivolity.

Ning Fengzhe understood his intention and suddenly became furious.

"Are you okay? Are you suffering from hysteria?"

"My sister is only five years old. Why did you exchange tokens with her and promise us that we will never be separated? How can you be so unreasonable?!"

Gu Yuanqiong stretched out his arms and placed them on his shoulders.

"Brother-in-law, don't be angry. My brother-in-law is young and may be a little speechless. Please bear with me."

Ning Fengzhe pushed his arm down with all his strength, pointed his spear and roared wildly.

"Gu Yuanqiong!"

"If you dare to say such nonsense again, I will kill you!"

Gu Yuanqiong put away his frivolousness and smiled fearlessly.

"You are such a tactless person."

"If Xi'er heard me making fun of her, she would have laughed out loud a long time ago."

Ning Fengzhe's brows were filled with anger, and he stretched out his hand in a bad mood.

"Give me back the jade pendant."

Gu Yuanqiong was content and happy, and took it easy.

"Royal brother, you are so stingy. You are reluctant to give me a jade pendant?"

Ning Fengzhe glared at him angrily, feeling disgusted.

"I am not your brother, give it back to me."

Gu Yuanqiong smiled playfully and said something funny again.

"Why? You still want to be my brother-in-law?"

Ning Fengzhe could no longer bear it, so he drew the dagger from his sleeve and pointed it at his heart.

Gu Yuanqiong was really shocked and immediately learned his lesson.

"Swords have no eyes. What are you doing? Master Ning, please talk nicely."

Ning Fengzhe said nothing more, pulled off his jade pendant, put it in his arms, and at the same time, took back the dagger.

"I will ask Xi'er for the heart-shaped jade lock and return it to the prince."

Gu Yuanqiong looked solemn and asked the question clearly.

"Your affection for her is more than just family, right?"

Ning Fengzhe responded indifferently.

"It has nothing to do with you, so don't meddle in other people's business."

Seeing what he was thinking, Gu Yuanqiong became more solemn, neither humble nor arrogant, and gave him advice and reminders.

"Do you know that brothers and sisters in the same family, even if they are not blood relatives, cannot be good partners?"

Ning Fengzhe built a high fortification to guard against the enemy and did not answer the question.

"What do you want to say?"

Since childhood, Gu Yuanqiong has been taught by his mother that true love can only lead to personal ruin and career trouble, and that one must never fall in love lightly.

Seeing his second brother in danger, he naturally couldn't just sit there and watch. After a little thought, he came up with a plan.

"When she grows up, I will marry her."

Ning Fengzhe was shocked and angry.

"what?"

Gu Yuanqiong was awkward and stiff. He pretended to be moved and made a pretentious comment.

"As you said, this king and she are not siblings."

"She is good except for her young age."

Ning Fengzhe was still aware of his sister's dignity being offended and was so angry that he gnashed his teeth.

"If you are sick, go to the clinic."

Gu Yuanqiong refuted as a matter of course.

"Isn't she a doctor? If you have any illness, it's just right to go to her."

He changed the subject and sneered.

"Besides, is this the King who is ill? Anyone who is ill knows what is going on."

He fiddled with his robes with pride, showing off his dignity and power.

"I am the eldest son of the emperor, and I am also a noble prince. What's the problem with marrying the daughter of a duke?"

Ning Fengzhe decisively refused.

"I don't agree. You'd better give up this idea as soon as possible."

There was a hint of disdain in Gu Yuanqiong's eyes.

"Why don't you agree?"

Ning Fengzhe glared at him.

"You do not deserve."

Gu Yuanqiong spoke calmly and leisurely.

"I'm afraid that's not the real reason."

"You want to wait until one day, you can please your father and have him take you back, and then you can do whatever you want?"

Ning Fengzhe was very upset.

"I told you, it has nothing to do with you, so stay out of my business."

Gu Yuanqiong took the matter seriously and gave kind warnings.

"With this king here, you won't get what you want. Don't even think about it. Your father will recognize you and take you back."

"Besides, Xi'er, I'm determined."

A hint of murderous intent flashed across Ning Fengzhe's eyes.

"Then don't blame me, I can't tolerate you."

Gu Yuanqiong acted as if nothing had happened and did not change his expression.

"Okay, let's wait and see who has the better plan."

Ning Fengzhe lost his patience.

"Where are Xi'er's people? Hand them over."

Gu Yuanqiong was still thinking about giving advice.

"Why are you so persistent?"

"Even if the emperor recognizes you, you won't be able to get what you want."

"From childhood to adulthood, she has always respected him as her biological brother. Suddenly, family affection becomes possession. Put yourself in her shoes. Can she accept it?"
