Chapter 660: Father’s Secret Instructions
Yan Yu nodded and smiled.
"Please speak, my dear nephew."
Gu Yihe asked solemnly.
"Does the emperor's uncle know a girl named Tong Zhenzhi?"
It sounded like it had nothing to do with Uncle Shao, and Ning Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief.
Yan Yu repeated.
"Tong Zhenzhi?"
It seemed to be lingering in his mind, and he racked his brains but could not remember it.
"This name sounds familiar."
Ning Yunxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Brother, how could you forget so quickly? Just now, I asked you to recommend the candidates for the imperial examination, and they were Miss Teng and this young girl."
Yan Yu was suddenly shocked.
"Oh, I remembered."
"You said that she is the sister of the shopkeeper of Bingqingyuan."
Ning Yunxi added casually and turned to ask a question.
"And she is Mr. Jiang's daughter."
"Why did your highness suddenly mention the virgin girl?"
Gu Yihe did not hide anything and told everyone generously.
"She is falsely called the third sister of the shopkeeper of Bingqing Garden, but in reality she is the princess."
"My father secretly ordered her to lure you by your side, using her body as bait, so that she could alienate your relationship, and take the opportunity to find out whether Lord Xu, the Minister of Copper Affairs, has any ulterior motives."
"Ok?"
"Who is this Mr. Jiang you mentioned?"
"Tong Zhenzhi's adoptive father?"
Ning Yunxi answered.
"Mr. Jiang Luo, trapped in the secret house of Tongshitai, is the biological son of a virgin."
Gu Yihe was slightly startled.
"So, she is not the emperor's biological daughter?"
Recounted by Ning Yunxi.
"According to the emperor himself, except for a man named Gu Hao, who is his biological son and was born to Empress Zhenyu, the rest are not his biological children."
"But, Fourth Senior Brother found out that the Emperor is still a virgin and has never touched a woman."
"Therefore, we don't know whether this Gu Hao actually exists or not."
Gu Yihe frowned, puzzled.
"Gu Hao?"
"I have assisted the king for many years, and I have never heard of such a person."
Ning Yunxi analyzes it in detail.
"Big brother also said, I have never heard of it."
"Fourth Senior Brother, you didn't say a word either."
"There is no such person in the state governor's office."
"So, I guess that maybe the emperor was seriously ill and imagined that he and Queen Zhenyu had a son."
Gu Yihe's thoughts are insightful and his thoughts are profound and far-reaching.
"Empress Zhenyu is a woman of great virtue and is well-known throughout the world. Everyone knows that she is devoted to the Emperor and is devoted to him. How could she possibly have an affair with someone else?"
"I suspect that Gu Hao may be the son of my father and another woman. Princess, you must investigate and find out where this person is hiding. Maybe you can use him as a threat in the future, which will be very useful."
Ning Yunxi was stunned.
"You want to use him to threaten the emperor?"
Gu Yihe was nonchalant.
"Why not, given the situation?"
Ning Yunxi was worried and expressed his opinion.
"He is hiding outside the court, not involved in the affairs of the court, and completely innocent. If he is taken as a hostage and someone gets hurt, how can we be at peace?"
Seeing her indecisiveness, Gu Yihe couldn't stand it and became angry.
"The princess has a very kind heart."
"He's just a stranger. Why do you care so much about him?"
She is very logical and sensible in her arguments.
"He is completely innocent, so we deserve to die? If the king wants his subjects to die, then they have to die. For the sake of the emperor, he is being held hostage. Even if he loses his life, he will live a glorious life."
"Let him go and live forever. Why do you care about him?"
The familiar feeling reappeared before his eyes, and Ning Yunxi was stunned for a moment.
"You...you sound like a big brother."
Gu Yihe took it for granted.
"We are siblings, so we look alike."
Ning Yunxi was uneasy.
"Uh... is it necessary to be so cruel?"
Gu Yihe's anger was unbelievable.
"Is it unnecessary?"
"You planned to drive Dongshan away and get rid of me without hesitation. Why are you so indecisive now, facing a stranger?"
Ning Yunxi tried her best to hide her guilty conscience.
"I hesitated about the plan to drive Dongshan away. I was not as decisive as you said."
Gu Yihe saw through it at a glance and smiled coldly.
"Oh, clearly there was no hesitation."
"It's obvious that you are jealous of me and share the same ideals as my second brother, so you verified that I am not the biological daughter of Feng Yan and his wife, and acted decisively to eliminate the root of the problem."
Ning Yunxi was speechless.
"I……"
Yan Yu was completely confused when he heard this.
Wasn't it Lord Fang's idea to chase Dongshan and Qianyan Snow Mountain? When did it become the little sister's plan?
Oh – I understand.
The younger sister was filial and did not want her uncle to be blamed. Seeing that the Sixth Princess misunderstood that it was her who did it, she simply took the responsibility.
After thinking about it, Yan Yu spoke up to rescue him.
"My dear nephew, please be patient."
"In fact, the plan to drive Dongshan away was my idea. Don't misunderstand my little sister. At that time, she was in the Zhuang Mansion and did not participate in it."
Gu Yihe's rage grew stronger, and she ignored etiquette and glanced at Yan Yu.
"Uncle Emperor, do you think I am stupid and ignorant?"
Yan Yu was stunned by the question.
"Not stupid, very smart."
"Why do you ask?"
Feeling despised and ridiculed, Gu Yihe was furious and his tone became increasingly harsh.
"I can roughly guess who came up with the plan to drive Dongshan away. In addition, my second brother saw through it at the time. I heard him clearly tell me that this was Princess Yuexi's brilliant idea."
"Please forgive me for my rude words. Your Majesty has feelings for you and cherishes your loved ones. You can wait until the dead of night. I am alone and don't want to hear other people's love words!"
The blunt remarks were so sudden that Yan Yu was caught off guard and had to fake cough to ease the embarrassment.
"Ahem, sorry."
Gu Yihe was displeased and tried to show a little fear.
"How can the emperor's uncle apologize? It embarrasses me, my nephew."
It is not appropriate to talk about love and affection in depth, so Yan Yu quickly changed the subject.
"There is no rush for Gu Hao's matter. Let's find him first and then we can discuss it."
"The most urgent thing is to think about what to do with the virgin girl."
Gu Yihe suddenly became interested and responded jokingly.
"Why is the emperor's uncle asking? What should I do?"
"What should we do about this matter? Why ask so many questions?"
"Could it be that the uncle intends to take advantage of her and see how she seduces him, and by the way, take a glimpse of her beauty?"
"I, your nephew, thought that the relationship between the Emperor's uncle and Princess Yuexi was as strong as gold, but I didn't expect that he was thinking of someone else."
Yan Yu was caught off guard and was in a panic.
"nonsense."
"I am powerless and don't know what to do. That's why I ask. How can I have such evil intentions?"
Gu Yihe continued teasing with great interest.
"I have the honor of meeting the young lady a few times. She is so beautiful that nothing can compare to her."
"Uncle, not interested?"
Yan Yu was extremely helpless and couldn't help but sigh.
"You have such a bad mouth."
"I guess you are also so unscrupulous in front of your brother, right? No wonder he abandoned you. Even when he entrusted you with an important task and hid you in the palace, he tried not to use you."
Knowing her background, Gu Yihe didn't care when hearing such words, just treating them as autumn wind passing by her ears.
"My nephew has always been bright and straightforward. With such a character, it stands to reason that he should be favored by the people of the world."
"Why does the emperor uncle say that?"
"Could it be that Huahua's secret was exposed, and the uncle was furious, so he tried to cover it up?"
Ning Yunxi looked confused.
"Didn't you say that the emperor secretly instructed the maiden to alienate my brother and me?"
"It seems to me that you have received the secret message."
Gu Yihe was upset and spoke without restraint, arguing endlessly.
"Are a few words from me enough to drive a wedge between you?"
"It turns out that your feelings are so fragile."
"Think about it. How long can you get by using your beauty to please others?"
Ning Yunxi held his forehead with his hand, speechless.
"Oh, you..."
Ning Fengzhe did not leave any plans to persuade Gu Yihe to surrender, but only suggested in his suicide note that Gu Yihe should live in seclusion in the mountains. Ning Yunxi did not understand his brother's intentions at first, but now that he saw him, he knew the reason.
They have different temperaments and are difficult to get along with.
Ning Yunxi couldn't figure it out.
Why is she angry?
Why did he suddenly change from being polite and courteous and speak rudely without any warning?
How to appease a situation like this?
