Chapter 649 The Prince is joking
Ji Feiyan took a sip of tea and then answered.
"I only know that Emperor Yue has set a plan to plot against us, but I don't know the content of the plan, so I have no way to break it."
Unwilling to admit that she was fooled by Ning Fengzhe, she lied.
"Prince Dijin and Princess Yuexi arrived earlier and took away the contents of the secret box. We were unable to read Emperor Yue's suicide note."
Zhuo Minlan sensed something was wrong.
"They came earlier? They got up so early? That's unreasonable."
"Even if they get up with you in the morning, wash up and go out, they will arrive before you based on the distance they travel."
"Big sister, you lied, didn't you?"
Ji Feiyan flatly denied it.
"They either stay up all night or get up early, why do you care so much?"
After years of fighting, Zhuo Minlan saw through it at a glance.
"You're lying."
"I think it's because the elder sister is not as good as others and can't open the secret box."
"What's the point of being so secretive? If it were me, I would definitely admit it generously, work hard, and refine my thinking; unlike someone who is unqualified and unworthy of his position and always pretends to be so."
Ji Feiyan was irritable and unhappy.
"I'm already mad, don't provoke me again, be careful, I won't be polite."
Zhuo Minlan was delighted to hear that her senior sister was being bullied.
"Hey, who or what has pissed off my beloved senior sister? Tell me, I, your little sister, will avenge you even if I am torn to pieces."
Ji Feiyan pretended to be kind and gave good advice.
"If you heard about this person and this matter, you would also be angry."
"Second Junior Sister, do you really want to listen?"
Zhuo Minlan was disdainful.
"Mysterious."
"Isn't it just that we can't open the secret box and can't outwit Emperor Yue?"
"What else can you be angry about?"
Ji Feiyan vividly retold the love words between Yan Yu and Ning Yunxi.
Before she finished her words, Zhuo Minlan was already shaking with anger. She ignored the presence of the prince, forgot her manners, and smashed the teacup with all her might.
"Yan Yu, Ning Yunxi, you are going too far!"
"He should have said all these to Junior Sister. Why would he transfer his feelings to Ning Yunxi and promise to take care of her for the rest of her life?"
Hearing the name "Ning Yunxi", Gu Yuanqiong perked up and quickly pleaded for mercy.
"Xi'er probably doesn't know about the appointment between Prince Dijin and Grand Secretary Fang, and she may not even know who the 'little sister' is."
"She is innocent."
Zhuo Minlan was furious.
"How can she be innocent? Regardless of whether she knew it or not, she is suspected of seducing someone else's fiancé. She is wrong."
Unable to bear hearing Xi'er being criticized, Gu Yuanqiong retorted.
"Master Fang just mentioned it casually. Without a marriage contract, how can there be a fiancé?"
Zhuo Minlan argued convincingly.
"King Dijin's words are golden, and you should keep your word. Do you need a marriage contract?"
Gu Yuanqiong kept refutation.
"At that time, King Di Jin was still an infant. Even if he was gifted and learned to speak, he wouldn't be able to speak as he did before, right?"
"How can you take children's words seriously?"
Unable to argue, Zhuo Minlan started to act arrogantly.
"My master says it is true, and it is true."
Ji Feiyan corrected sternly.
"Second Junior Sister, watch your words and don't accuse Master of overstepping his authority."
Zhuo Minlan was shocked when she realized it later.
"Oh, yes, I am aphasic."
She sincerely repented to the sky.
"Master, I know I am wrong."
"Please be patient, Master. I will definitely plot to kill the Emperor and kill Ning Yunxi and his people to avenge you and my junior sister."
Ji Feiyan then took a vow.
"I, your disciple, will seek justice for you even at the cost of my life."
Gu Yuanqiong never tires of pleading for her.
"My Lords, this is King Di Jin's fault. Why do you hate Xi'er so much? I believe that Xi'er has a noble character. If she had heard of the old agreement, she would have left King Di Jin and would never have helped him to commit atrocities."
Ji Feiyan bowed and responded respectfully.
"Your Majesty, what you said is very high. I dare not agree with it."
Zhuo Minlan is still straightforward and outspoken.
"You and her have only known each other for a few days. How do you know her character?"
"I think that Prince Di Jin and she are in the same boat and are in the same boat."
At this point, Gu Yuanqiong suddenly had an idea.
"A while ago, we found out that after King Di Jin made friends with Xi'er, he secretly ordered that there was no need to look for the little sister anymore."
"Plus, he calls Xi'er 'little sister.'"
"I can't help but wonder, is it possible that Xi'er is your junior sister?"
Ji Feiyan and Zhuo Minlan glared at the same time.
"impossible!"
Zhuo Minlan raised her finger and was furious.
"Junior sister, I am not the kind of person like her. She stays with King Dijin all day long and follows him around without knowing what's going on."
"Your Highness, what you said is really humiliating to my junior sister and a disgrace to my sect!"
Ji Feiyan's face was calm, but there was a hint of anger in her.
"Little Junior Sister, there is no way you can forget the hatred of your honorable kindness and associate with your enemies."
"Besides, she knows her own life story, so she will definitely come here to meet her senior sisters and brothers."
"The relationship between our mentor and disciple is well known to everyone in the world. How can I, Junior Sister, turn a blind eye and turn a deaf ear to it?"
Gu Yuanqiong speculated.
"Perhaps, she doesn't know her origins?"
Zhuo Minlan was so angry that she started to make sarcastic remarks.
"She didn't know, but the prince knew it? The prince is really smart."
Gu Yuanqiong continued to speculate.
"Or maybe, King Di Jin is lying? He insists that he has done nothing wrong to Lord Fang, but blames you for abandoning him."
"What happened in the past? She is still young and knows nothing about it. Isn't that normal?"
Ji Feiyan looked indifferent.
"Your Majesty is joking."
Zhuo Minlan speaks her mind.
"How could a fool like Emperor Liang Jin be able to deceive our Junior Sister?"
Gu Yuanqiong's mind was made up and he did not waver.
"Don't worry, my lords. Wait for me to find out the truth."
Ji Feiyan was filled with grief and indignation, yet she remained humble.
"Please forgive me for speaking frankly. Your Highness has taken the trouble to investigate this, which is unfair to my junior sister."
Zhuo Minlan was furious and had completely forgotten the rules of hierarchy.
"Your Highness, if you have this idea, why not use it on your first plan to return to the capital."
"Could it be that in your opinion, the character of our Master is just like that of Princess Yuexi?"
Seeing their overwhelming momentum, Gu Yuanqiong hesitated for a moment and gave a cautious evaluation.
"Uh...similarly intelligent."
Zhuo Minlan's eyes opened wide.
"Ning Yunxi, what are you worthy of? What the prince said is so unreasonable."
Ji Feiyan remained calm and analyzed the situation calmly.
"Second Junior Sister may have been impolite, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"I have heard that Princess Yuexi is good at literature and has some knowledge of martial arts."
"Please think carefully, Your Majesty."
"My master's martial arts is unrivaled in the world, how could his beloved daughter be so weak and powerless?"
Gu Yuanqiong had nothing to say.
When talking about his master's father-in-law, Zhuo Minlan's anger disappeared, leaving only regret.
"Unfortunately, Master passed away so suddenly that I didn't have time to tell you where Master is now."
Ji Feiyan was calm and composed, explaining the wisdom of her mentor.
"Master-in-law is a simple and honest man. He finally escaped from the dead body. In order to protect him, Master is unwilling to reveal his whereabouts. I can understand."
Zhuo Minlan gradually regained her composure.
"I can understand that, too."
Thinking of her junior sister, her tiger eyes were gradually filled with gentleness.
"I think that maybe Junior Sister was found by Master-in-law a long time ago and hid in a dark place, so there is no news from her."
Ji Feiyan nodded in understanding.
"I hope so."
Soon afterward, Gu Yuanqiong and his group moved to Danbo Yazhai temporarily, waiting for the right opportunity.
Gu Yuanqiong exhausted all his energy to avoid the eyes and ears of Beizhaotai and secretly investigate Ning Yunxi's life experience.
