Chapter 617 Painful Farewell

Chapter 617 Painful Farewell

The marriage has not yet been finalized, but the bad news has come.

There was an emergency at a pass in the southern border, and a wise and brave man was needed to go to the border and guard the pass. The leader of Beizhaotai agreed to submit a petition, requesting to transfer the hidden guard An Xiaohuan to Beizhao to go directly to the dangerous place.

A good opportunity was right in front of Gu Mengzhen, but if he missed it, it would be hard to find it again.

He immediately decided to order An Xiaohuan to stay by King Li's side in case he was needed in the future.

After receiving the imperial edict and expressing his gratitude, An Xiaohuan came to Xiangzhu Garden.

"Xier."

Ning Yunxi walked over happily and helped him sit down.

"Huan Lang, why are you here so early today?"

An Xiaohuan had a worried look on his face.

"The work is over early."

Sensing something was wrong, Ning Yunxi became worried.

"in advance?"

"Could it be that I will be transferred to the supervision station and end the work early to give you more time to hand over?"

An Xiaohuan was depressed and narrated what happened.

"No."

"I will soon be promoted to Beizhao Shi..."

After listening to his story, Ning Yunxi also looked gloomy.

An Xiaohuan looked depressed and gloomy.

"That's just the way it is."

"My request may be unreasonable. Xi'er, are you willing to follow me to the borderland?"

Ning Yunxi thought for a moment and made up his mind.

"Yes, I do."

An Xiaohuan was caught off guard and was shocked.

"Are you willing to leave the house?"

Ning Yunxi stared at him intently and answered sincerely.

"I'm reluctant, but I also can't bear to leave you."

Fearing that she might act impulsively, An Xiaohuan gave her a serious reminder.

"Lying dormant beside Prince Li is even more dangerous than Prince Di Jin."

"You must think it through."

Ning Yunxi's eyes were firm and unshakable.

"I decided to go because I couldn't bear to see you in danger alone."

"We are together in good times and bad times, in life and death."

An Xiaohuan was overjoyed and deeply moved.

"Xi'er, you are so nice."

Ning Yunxi's brows dropped in shame, and she smiled.

"I will pack my bags and say goodbye to my parents. You should also go back home and prepare."

An Xiaohuan smiled.

"Well, we'll leave tomorrow morning. I'll pick you up."

A drizzle of rain was falling, and apricot blossoms were falling.

Ning Fengzhe rented Xinghanxuan in the eastern suburbs. In his spare time, he enjoyed the rain outside the window.

Gu Yuanqiong's voice came suddenly from behind without any warning.

"Mr. Ning, how are you?"

Ning Fengzhe turned around and looked. Having not seen him for many years, he almost didn't recognize him.

"When will you return to Beijing? How did you know I live here?"

Gu Yuanqiong did not answer, but sat down leisurely and asked a question in return.

"An Xiaohuan, was this your arrangement?"

Ning Fengzhe was displeased as he was being pried into his privacy again.

"It's none of your business."

Gu Yuanqiong played with a teacup, looking calm and relaxed.

"How come it has nothing to do with me? I said I want to marry her."

Ning Fengzhe used words casually and his remarks were sarcastic.

"I heard that His Royal Highness Prince Li has a new female counselor by his side? No, it should be said that he has a new lover."

His eyes turned cold, and there was a hint of cruelty in his lips and teeth.

"You playboy, are you worthy of marrying Xi'er?"

Gu Yuanqiong was arrogant and proud, and his arguments were well-founded.

"That's not An Xiaohuan's turn."

"He is nothing, so vulnerable that I easily sent him to the border with a trick."

He asked the question in a sarcastic tone.

"Does Master Ning think he can protect Xi'er?"

Ning Fengzhe was furious when he heard this.

"You made a special trip back to Beijing just to deal with him?"

"You have nothing to do, why would you touch him?"

He seemed angry and dissatisfied, but in fact he was secretly glad.

Xier's marriage was obstructed by others.

This is God's mercy, bestowing blessings upon us.

It seems that even God doesn't want Xier to leave me.

He was secretly delighted when he saw Gu Yuanqiong looking very pleased with himself.

"I will move if I want to, and Master Ning has no right to object."

"If I don't move him, how can he give Xi'er to me?"

Ning Fengzhe's thoughts suddenly stopped and he was startled.

"What? He..."

Gu Yuanqiong's eyebrows danced with joy and he was extremely provocative.

"Don't worry, my royal brother. I will definitely be gentle and considerate to women."

Ning Fengzhe slammed the table heavily, his anger surging like a mountain.

"Gu Yuanqiong!"

"If you dare to touch her, I will kill you."

Ning Fengzhe walked away vigorously, and Gu Yuanqiong did not stop him.

He had no intention of taking Xier away. He came here to show off his power just to remind his second brother to protect his sister.

Ning Fengzhe didn't have time to think about anything else. He rode a fast horse and headed straight for An Mansion.

When he saw An Xiaohuan, Ning Fengzhe took off his rain-soaked cloak and saluted angrily.

"I wish you the best, Lord An!"

"Congratulations to Lord Hidden Guard An on being promoted to Northern Zhao Shi!"

Hearing that the tone was not right, An Xiaohuan quickly leaned over to support him.

"Mr. Ning, why are you being so polite? Please stand up quickly."

"Please take a seat and have some tea."

Ning Fengzhe glared at him.

"No, no need."

An Xiaohuan stood respectfully with his brows lowered.

"If I have done anything wrong, please correct me."

Ning Fengzhe questioned through gritted teeth.

"Who allowed you to take Xi'er away? If you were in trouble, why didn't you come to me for help?"

An Xiaohuan answered timidly.

"It's urgent, there's no time..."

Ning Fengzhe interrupted him.

"How dare you lie to me?"

"Do you think that if you take Xi'er away with you, we can live together forever? In your eyes, am I such a hindrance?"

An Xiaohuan didn't dare to look directly at him.

"My brother is very strict with me, and I do have the thought of escaping."

"But please trust me, brother. I am sincere to Xi'er."

"I will cherish her with all my heart."

Ning Fengzhe was filled with grief and indignation.

"You are just sincere? I see you are just sentimental."

"I said, as long as you cure Xi'er's illness, you can do whatever you want."

"Why do you still want to escape?"

An Xiaohuan tried hard to explain.

"Brother, you are wise. Xi'er is suffering from a disease. I have examined her pulse and found that she cannot be cured."

"If you ask me not to touch her for the rest of my life, then what's the point of marrying her?"

"Please rest assured, brother. I have developed a pill that will be enough to ease her fear. This is a good thing and will not endanger her life."

"At most, I'll try to indulge less, even once a year."

Ning Fengzhe decisively refused.

"No."

"If you don't have the ability to cure her, you should have the ability to control your temper. Otherwise, what qualifications do you have to marry her?"

An Xiaohuan could no longer tolerate it.

"Excuse me for being blunt, but my brother is so strict that Xi'er will never get married."

Ning Fengzhe spoke coldly.

"Whether it's hard to marry or not to marry, I will never allow anyone to bully my sister."

"You took advantage of the night and set off early. Leaving without saying goodbye will be considered as a betrayal. I will help you arrange everything and send you out of Beijing smoothly."

"Tomorrow morning, I will tell Xi'er that I saw a beautiful woman sitting in your carriage."

An Xiaohuan was stunned.

"Brother, how can you bear to separate lovers?"

Ning Fengzhe looked at him fiercely and coldly, and locked his throat invisibly.

"Be careful of the An family, there are hundreds of lives to be saved."

"There are so many people eyeing the positions of Tongshi Cheng and the head of the Imperial Hospital. Your family doesn't know how to cherish them. Why not find someone else?"

An Xiaohuan begged desperately.

"Brother, you know that I have sacrificed so much for Xi'er for so many years."

"My life is lived for her."

"Now, we have finally met and known each other, how can we part?"

Ning Fengzhe looked down on him.

"We have only known each other for a few days, why do you need to exaggerate and make it seem like we are deeply in love?"

"King Li has many beauties under his command. He will treat you well. Don't worry. You will soon forget Xi'er."
