Chapter 573 You are completely hopeless
Ning Fengzhe looked distressed.
"But if I tell her the truth now, I'm afraid that since we haven't known each other for long and our feelings are weak, she won't accept it and will resolutely choose to stay away from me."
Gu Yuanqiong didn't quite understand and taught him seriously.
"Those who use strategies should be most wary of true feelings."
"Don't you understand this principle?"
Ning Fengzhe's brows tightened.
"Understand."
"But, I can't help it."
He laughed to himself.
"It's funny to say this. When I saw her was still in her infancy, I just..."
He hesitated to speak, and Gu Yuanqiong could only understand his meaning on his own, expressing his feelings and speaking frankly.
"You have really strange preferences."
"If he behaves like this when he is young, what will he be like when he grows up? It's really scary."
Ning Fengzhe's eyes dimmed.
"I know it's scary, but I can't help it."
Gu Yuanqiong immediately became suspicious.
"Could it be that someone has given him drugs?"
Ning Fengzhe had no doubts at all.
"The doctor took my pulse every day and said that apart from being weak, there was nothing else wrong with me."
Gu Yuanqiong made a bold guess.
"Or something like that. There are herbs that are not recorded in medical books. They work quietly on the body and will not change the artery condition."
Feeling it was reasonable, he immediately asked further questions.
"Who did you meet before you first met Xi'er?"
Ning Fengzhe thought carefully and answered truthfully.
"Imperial Physician Fang Linhao, Imperial Minister Fang Renshu."
Upon hearing that it was someone from the Fang clan, Gu Yuanqiong became alert and his expression became extremely stern.
"What do I want to see you for?"
Ning Fengzhe answered in a calm voice.
"Congratulations to me on returning safely to the capital and rising to prominence. I came specially to give you a gift."
Gu Yuanqiong made a quick and decisive conclusion.
"It must be Fang Linhao who used the medicine."
Ning Fengzhe retorted.
"I was cautious and didn't let them get close to me."
Gu Yuanqiong insisted on his own opinion.
"You may not know, but Fang Linhao's medical skills, including making medicines and injuring people invisibly, are invincible to even gods."
Worried and annoyed, he sighed and complained sternly.
"Ah, it's unnecessary. You shouldn't have met them."
Ning Fengzhe raised questions.
"The Fang clan has been exterminated for several years. No matter what medicine he used, the effect should have worn off, right?"
Gu Yuanqiong was at a loss.
"I am not proficient in medicine, how can I know?"
"It just so happens that Xi'er is studying medicine and has quite a talent for it. When she has learned enough on her own, you can tell her about this and let her try to treat the disease. Maybe there will be a way to cure it."
Upon hearing Xier's hard work, Ning Fengzhe refused boldly.
"Anyway, it's harmless, so it doesn't matter if you don't treat it."
Gu Yuanqiong asked angrily.
"Are you sick and insane? This thing is meant to harm people, how can it be harmless?"
Ning Fengzhe's tone was as cold as frost and snow in severe winter.
"It's none of your business."
Gu Yuanqiong was so angry that he said something disdainful.
"You are completely hopeless!"
Ning Fengzhe was deep in thought.
"If what you said is not groundless, then what is the meaning of them using medicine to ask me to care for Xi'er?"
Gu Yuanqiong thought of it instantly.
"I'm sure they're afraid of your talent, so they're taking precautions in advance, hoping to bring disaster upon you and ruin your life."
He acted like an elder brother, criticizing and scolding.
"Look at yourself. What has happened to you? You are letting your emotions get the better of you instead of focusing on your work."
Ning Fengzhe couldn't figure it out.
"Did someone really give you drugs?"
"Is it possible that Xi'er herself is not lovable enough?"
Gu Yuanqiong made his own conjecture and comments.
"Not to the extent that I love you like this."
After careful consideration, Ning Fengzhe came to a cautious conclusion.
"Xi'er, you are not a disaster."
"Even if she gets married, she is still a good helper."
Gu Yuanqiong concluded with a wry smile.
"Haha, I finally understand. You are obsessed with it. It has nothing to do with Fang Linhao."
Ning Fengzhe followed his words and made a thorough analysis.
"It has nothing to do with nature."
"With my humble talent, how could I possibly catch their eye? Besides, I have always been very reserved."
"Even if they set up defenses in advance, they should still deal with you. You are a rare person with great reputation in the world."
He took his time and circled back to his sister.
"Where's Xi'er?"
Gu Yuanqiong spoke with disdain, revealing a hint of jealousy.
"You just know Xi'er."
By listening to the voice and judging the appearance, Ning Fengzhe had a vague perception.
"You seem to care about me a lot."
Sensing something was amiss, Gu Yuanqiong quickly took it in and buried his thoughts deeply.
"Mr. Ning, you are worrying too much. I am always talkative. No matter who I meet, I like to chat with them."
Ning Fengzhe drew the dagger from his sleeve again, and this time, he pointed the tip at his neck.
"If you don't hand over Xi'er, I will die immediately."
Gu Yuanqiong was horrified, confused and at a loss as to what to do.
"you you you you……"
Knowing his weakness, Ning Fengzhe smiled with confidence of winning.
"Thank you, brother."
Gu Yuanqiong's face turned pale and his tone sank to the bottom.
"Thank you for what? Did the king promise you?"
Knowing that he tacitly agreed, Ning Fengzhe slowly told him the solution.
"You can knock her out while you're having dinner, and then leave Beijing. I'll take care of the rest. I'll send the jade lock anonymously through the post office, and it will be in your hands soon."
Gu Yuanqiong felt bitter and embarrassed.
"What if she gets hurt? Can you bear it?"
Ning Fengzhe remained calm and put away his dagger.
"It's better to go with you. It doesn't hurt to be hurt a little."
Gu Yuanqiong went crazy.
"Ning Fengzhe, how dare you threaten my brother? Aren't you the most polite person?"
For Xier, Ning Fengzhe quickly lowered his head without any hesitation.
"I apologize, and I beg my brother Prince Li to forgive me."
Gu Yuanqiong held his forehead with his hand, almost fainting from rage.
"You are really hopeless... You... make me so angry."
"Xi'er, I can leave it to you, but don't be greedy for the position of the prince."
"The palace is dangerous. I am worried about your safety, so I give you this advice. Do you understand?"
Ning Fengzhe ignored it.
"I am a private person, I make my own decisions, and I don't need you to worry about me."
Gu Yuanqiong was filled with resentment.
"You...why would I be so greedy for a brother like you?"
Then he thought that he couldn't return empty-handed, so he asked.
"Did you teach Xi'er how to form formations?"
Ning Fengzhe nodded.
"Yes."
Gu Yuanqiong was full of yearning.
"Teach me too."
Ning Fengzhe just ignored it.
"We'll talk about it when we have time."
Gu Yuanqiong tried his best to fight for it.
"You and I teach each other, and I will not take advantage of you."
Ning Fengzhe declined disdainfully.
"I appreciate your kindness, brother."
Gu Yuanqiong's breathing became heavier and his scalp numbed.
"You are so stingy, just like Madam Ning."
"Sooner or later, I will get sick from you."
Ning Fengzhe comforted her casually.
"Brother, please calm down."
Gu Yuanqiong seemed to be slightly overwhelmed.
"I've given Xi'er to you. What's wrong with you teaching me?"
Ning Fengzhe corrected.
"Your Highness made a mistake. Xi'er is actually my third sister."
Gu Yuanqiong spoke with deep sincerity.
"You've seen with your own eyes that the consequence of falling in love is that you'll be caught in a weak spot."
"How do you feel? Look at me, how I have been delayed by you. Have I ever been so cowardly before?"
Ning Fengzhe was cold and calm as he argued solemnly.
"In this case, Your Majesty should also understand how it feels to be unable to help oneself."
Gu Yuanqiong spoke earnestly.
"Can this king and you be the same? This king is a blood relative to you."
Ning Fengzhe was neither cold nor indifferent.
"Provincial Governor, I hereby testify that Xi'er and I are the closest relatives."
Gu Yuanqiong held his head, completely collapsed.
"You are such a stubborn ass, you are giving me a headache..."
