Chapter 799 Severe
Fang Zhixuan knocked on the door and walked into the room.
"Sister."
Fang Renshu asked with a complaint.
"Why did you come back?"
Fang Zhixuan briefly explained the reason.
"I really can't come back unless the emperor lets down his guard."
Fang Renshu was extremely strict when teaching his younger brother.
"If he doesn't let his guard down, can't you think of a way?"
"Do you really need me to teach you step by step how to do it before you can use a trick?"
"I advised you to be diligent, but you didn't take it seriously. How come you haven't made any progress at all?"
"I'm having a hard pregnancy and I'm about to give birth. Can you please let me take some time off?"
The elder sister criticized him harshly and Fang Zhixuan felt dejected.
"Yes, I know I was wrong."
Not wanting to be scolded any further, he quickly changed the subject.
"My eldest sister sent me a letter to call me back home. What's the important matter?"
Fang Renshu put away his angry expression and looked serious.
"Zhuang Mansion, I have quietly set up a secret room with a person inside. I need to introduce you to him."
"Recently, I have been serving the king, and I have been the center of attention. In addition, the emperor has many eyes and ears, so it is very inconvenient for me to act. From now on, I will ask you to take care of the people in the secret room."
Fang Zhixuan questioned weakly.
"Why is it inconvenient?"
"Didn't my elder sister say that we could use a trick to avoid the emperor's eyes and ears?"
Fang Renshu's anger, which had just subsided, was instantly ignited by him.
"You are becoming more and more unruly. How dare you talk back to me?!"
Fang Zhixuan was panic-stricken.
"Yes, yes, I made a mistake."
"I have a question, please answer it, elder sister."
Fang Renshu was annoyed.
"ask."
Narrated by Fang Zhixuan.
"Eldest sister probably heard that Young Master Ning stole Xingliang's secrets and made outstanding contributions to Yuesheng."
"The emperor attaches great importance to this matter. Today he asked me if I am willing to go to the border to bring Young Master Ning back to the capital."
"I said perfunctorily that I would go back home and think about it, and I have not replied yet."
Fang Renshu speculated.
"Young Master Ning has been in Xingliang for several months. He is suspected of collaborating with the enemy. The emperor is very suspicious and will definitely not want to accept him as a minister."
"I guess he ordered you to eliminate Young Master Ning along the way?"
Fang Zhixuan nodded.
"Yep."
He spoke eloquently and expressed his own views.
"I humbly believe that Master Ning's plan shows his extraordinary talent. If we let him return to the capital and assist the emperor, he will become a powerful enemy in time."
"I secretly thought that it would be a good idea to eliminate this troublesome force once and for all while it is still young and has not yet fully grown."
"Of course, I dare not make the decision on my own, so I come to ask for your opinion."
Fang Renshu instructed.
"Young Master Ning has a special status, please don't hurt him."
Fang Zhixuan was confused.
"Special status?"
Fang Ren relaxed his frown and spoke in a serious tone.
"Just obey without asking any questions."
"Even if there is a confrontation in the future, you must be cautious and make sure not to harm his life."
Fang Zhixuan became interested and asked curiously.
"Why?"
"Who is he to you?"
"Why does my eldest sister care so much about his safety?"
"Could it be that he is not from the Ning clan, but is my brother-in-law and yours..."
Fang Renshu interrupted him angrily.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How stupid!!"
Fang Zhixuan became even more curious.
"Then tell me, why did you protect him?"
Fang Renshu did not answer.
"I told you, no need to ask, can't you hear me?"
"When the time is right, you will know."
The original plan of the Fang clan was to accompany King Di Jin as he grew up, slowly teach him the truth, and make plans for him to regain the kingdom of the Yan clan.
Ning Fengzhe only needs to stay in Ning Mansion and wait for Zhou Zixi to complete his mission, and then the family can be reunited.
The same is true for Gu Yuanqiong and Gao Yihe.
Zhou Zixi already had an important responsibility, and the Fang clan had no intention of involving his children in court affairs.
In theory, if Fang Zhixuan asked about Ning Fengzhe's background, Fang Renshu could tell him without deliberately concealing it.
Unexpectedly, King Di Jin was an alien, and at the age of 32, his thoughts and emotions were mature, making it almost impossible for him to accept new teachings.
Then, the Fang clan’s strategy will have to change accordingly.
Helplessly, Yan Yu temporarily forbade Fang Renshu to reveal his identity as a modern man, and the strategy of the Fang clan had not yet been discussed.
Therefore, Fang Renshu concealed Ning Fengzhe's identity so that his family could make plans in the future.
Afraid that he would ask again, Fang Renshu immediately continued the conversation and gave orders in a deep voice.
"Follow me and go see the person in the secret room."
Fang Zhixuan responded.
"Yes."
Fang Renshu and his sister sneaked into the secret room of Zhuang's mansion and met Zhuang Shao.
Fang Zhixuan and Zhuang Shao had similar interests and became brothers.
Fang Renshu didn't want to stay for long, so he gave Shao brother a few words and turned to leave.
Upon learning that Chu Lantong had also moved into the Zhuang Mansion, Zhuang Shao was extremely surprised and thanked his sworn brother repeatedly for rescuing his old friend.
Upon hearing that they were about to get married, Zhuang Shao offered his blessings and promised to make a wedding gift for them personally.
Fang Zhixuan led the way and let Chu Lantong enter the secret room.
Old friends reunited, reminisced and talked, and had a great time.
At dawn, Fang Zhixuan returned to the Fang Mansion and found his father's residence based on his memory.
At this time, Fang Che had just woken up in the morning, washed and changed his clothes, and was planning to go and pay his respects to King Di Jin.
Gu Mengzhen rewarded him according to his merits by making him a marquis, and then Fang Zhixuan performed the Fu'an ceremony.
"I am Fang Zhixuan, respectfully wishing my father good health."
Fang Che's expression was solemn and stern.
"What are you doing here?"
Faced with his father's severity, Fang Zhixuan unconsciously restrained his expression and lowered his eyes in humility.
"Since we were separated when we were young, I have never seen other relatives except my eldest sister a few times. I miss my father and mother especially, so I came back to pay my respects."
"I didn't expect that my mother had to leave Beijing for something, so we couldn't get together."
"I am just thinking, maybe my father and mother are also worried about me."
Fang Che questioned, full of anger.
"What is your status now?"
"What is the situation now?"
"Are you completely unaware of these two things?"
His father did not allow him to stand up, so Fang Zhixuan knelt respectfully and answered in a sad voice.
"I……"
Fang Che didn't give him any time to speak and shouted angrily.
"You only care about your own little righteousness and ruin the great plan of the Fang clan. Can you be worthy of us, our ancestors, and the successive Yan emperors?!"
Fang Zhixuan wanted to explain.
"Father, I..."
Before he could finish his words, Fang Che interrupted him again.
"Go back to your own house, and don't let me see you being so petty again!"
The plan was ruined in an instant. Not only would it be difficult to assist Emperor Yan in his great cause, but his beloved son would also suffer the pain of exile in vain. Therefore, Fang Che suppressed his heartache and drove him out of the house in a stern voice.
Fang Zhixuan was reluctant to leave.
"My son is getting married, and his wife is..."
Fang Che's tone of words is not close to human.
"I don't want to know who you are marrying."
"Lord Hongshun, if you want to report the important matter of marriage, please go to the Zhuang clan ancestral hall."
Fang Zhixuan's eyes were filled with tears and he felt sad.
"Father……"
Fang Che was unwilling to do so and showed some disgust.
"Why are you crying? You have no spine."
Fang Zhixuan tried hard to stop crying.
"Father, since he knows that I am Lord Hongshun, I can imagine that he is very concerned about my recent situation. But why do you pretend to be indifferent?"
Fang Che remained solemn and taught the truth.
"How can you be so weak?"
"When the king turns twenty, we will work together to help him ascend the throne, and we will be reunited."
"If you don't even have this much patience, how can you accomplish anything great? Go back home and stop talking!"
Fang Zhixuan felt wronged.
"Yes, kid, please leave."
