Chapter 926: Looking Forward
Gu Yuanqiong was not in a hurry to take off Madam Mei's dress. He covered her with his body, looking for the beauty's interests with great interest.
When his lips fell, before they even touched her snow-white neck, the beauty shuddered and burst into tears.
He came to his senses and stopped.
He remembered that a few years ago, he found out what happened in Hongxing Hutong, Beicheng, Shengjing, and learned that Xier was ill. If a man got close to her, she would be terrified, cry like rain, and even be on the verge of death, endangering her life.
This woman's symptoms are similar to Xier's, and she must have suffered similar suffering.
Out of pity for Xier, Gu Yuanqiong felt he couldn't bring himself to do it, so he stood up and left the bed.
Unexpectedly, when I stood up, my right wrist was grabbed by her, and immediately afterwards, I heard her low whimpering.
"Big brother……"
"Brother, don't go..."
Memories of the past suddenly came flooding back, and Gu Yuanqiong looked at the woman in front of him in amazement.
"Xi...Xi'er?"
"is it you?"
Ning Yunxi dreamed that her brother had passed away, and she cried bitterly, feeling endless grief.
"Brother, don't go..."
"Please, don't leave me..."
With a look of panic in his eyes, Gu Yuanqiong hurriedly sat back on the edge of the bed and held her little hand in his palm.
When he met his old friend again, he couldn't help but burst into tears. His brows were smiling, but two lines of tears were falling.
"Okay, big brother won't leave."
"Don't worry, Xi'er. Big brother is always with you."
Ning Yunxi looked so sad and pitiful.
"Someone... bullied me..."
Gu Yuanqiong frowned and listened with his ears tilted.
"Who bullied you? Tell me and I'll teach him a lesson for you."
Ning Yunxi shook her head.
"I beg you, brother... don't hurt anyone anymore..."
Gu Yuanqiong put on a smile and coaxed her softly.
"Don't be afraid, Xi'er. I won't hurt anyone."
"I have always been kind and magnanimous to others, concealing evil and promoting good, and repaying evil with kindness."
"Tell me, who bullied you, Ning Cangmo or Mi Yao?"
Ning Yunxi didn't reply.
Gu Yuanqiong pushed her and called her twice.
"Xi'er? Xi'er?"
Ning Yunxi still said nothing.
Gu Yuanqiong called the female doctor again and used the antidote to make Xier wake up.
He specifically instructed that the medicine must be used with caution and not to harm Xier's body.
The effect of the medicine was mild and did not take effect that quickly. He brushed the female doctor away and stayed quietly beside Xier, carefully wiping the sweat from her forehead.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Xier slowly opened her eyes, and he smiled and came into her sight.
"you're awake?"
Ning Yunxi was startled and terrified. She quickly sat up and wanted to run away.
Gu Yuanqiong stretched out his arms to stop her.
Ning Yunxi touched the silver ring, took out three silver needles, and tried to insert the silver needles into the acupuncture points to make him faint.
Gu Yuanqiong was quick to block her silver needle.
All other self-defense items, without exception, were cleverly resolved by Gu Yuanqiong. Ning Yunxi was helpless and could only admit defeat.
"If you want to kill or behead me, please do as you please."
Gu Yuanqiong felt helpless when he heard this.
"Xi'er, what are you talking about?"
"How can I bear to kill you?"
Ning Yunxi was slightly stunned.
She still remembered that in her previous life, Prince Li had repeatedly plotted to take her life because she had planned to kill Gao Yihe, now the Sixth Princess.
In this life, not only did she not harm the Sixth Princess, she also made peace with her.
Well, in this life, King Li should have no intention of harming her life, but he shouldn't be so friendly, right?
Seeing that she was silent and seemed frightened, Gu Yuanqiong comforted her softly.
"Xi'er, don't be afraid, I have no ill intentions."
"You probably don't remember me."
"I'll give you a hint and you'll remember it right away."
"Chongyixuan, in the western suburbs of Shengjing."
"Xi'er is smart and can understand things at a glance. Guess who I am?"
Hearing that he wanted to pretend to be Chong Yixuan's elder brother, Ning Yunxi sneered in her heart but pretended to be shocked on the surface.
"You...you are..."
Before she could finish, Gu Yuanqiong gave her a thumbs up and eagerly continued the conversation.
"Yes, I'm the eldest brother, and Xier is the smartest person in the world, hahaha."
"Since the old year, we have been looking forward to it, and finally we can be reunited."
Seeing that he was acting so serious and sincere, Ning Yunxi was too lazy to respond and pointed out his identity in a bad mood.
"Your Highness Prince Li, how did you find out about the incident at Chongyixuan in the western suburbs?"
Gu Yuanqiong was stunned.
"what?"
"You...you know this king?"
Ning Yunxi replied casually.
"Your Majesty's reputation is well-known, I naturally recognize him."
Gu Yuanqiong was confused.
"I am extremely reserved and do not allow my portrait to be circulated outside. Very few people know me. Logically speaking, you should not recognize me."
"How do you know that I am King Li?"
Ning Yunxi didn't give him a good look.
"It does not matter."
"Excuse me, my lord, why did you kidnap me and bring me here?"
Gu Yuanqiong was puzzled by her attitude, so he asked.
"Why are you on guard? You don't need to be on guard in front of me. I really have no ill intentions."
"Don't you believe that I am your elder brother?"
Ning Yunxi looked solemn.
"Forgive my rude words, but please don't be so sentimental, Your Majesty."
"My brother is in Ning Mansion, and his name is Ning Cangmo, not you."
Gu Yuanqiong explained.
"The big brother I'm referring to is the brother and sister relationship we recognized last year, not the eldest brother."
Ning Yunxi was impatient.
"My brother is Brother Chong Yixuan. I have already recognized him. Please don't try to sow discord between us, Your Majesty."
"If there is nothing else, please allow me to leave."
Gu Yuanqiong stared in disbelief.
"what?"
"You said, Ning Cangmo, is Chong Yixuan's elder brother?"
Ning Yunxi responded.
"Yes."
Gu Yuanqiong was furious.
"Isn't that reasonable?"
"Who told you that?"
"Who is talking nonsense?"
Ning Yunxi became even more impatient after hearing his nonsense.
"Your Majesty, can't you hear me? Please allow me to leave."
Gu Yuanqiong expressed his opinion.
"They come, the security."
"There is no way this king will let you go."
Ning Yunxi was unhappy.
"Do you know what crime is involved in kidnapping a princess?"
"What is the intention of the prince's move? Could it be a conspiracy by the court?"
She stood up, feeling a little tired. Gu Yuanqiong reached out his hand and helped her sit down.
"Let's put the court situation aside for now. I won't rush to talk about it."
"Answer me first, why do you recognize Ning Cangmo as Chong Yixuan's big brother?"
Ning Yunxi refused to sit and shook off his hand.
"Excuse me, I don't want to talk to you."
"You and I are enemies. If Your Majesty does not answer questions about the court, I will not stay any longer."
"Please excuse me."
Xi'er stood and Gu Yuanqiong didn't sit either.
His tone of voice is always gentle and warm.
"Wait a minute, I have something to prove it."
He spoke loudly and instructed the waiter outside.
"Come here, go to my residence and get the love lock."
Ning Yunxi was merciless and exposed his tricks.
"My elder brother said that he met a gangster on the road and his gold lock was stolen."
"So, the criminal is you?"
Gu Yuanqiong slammed the table.
"what?"
He muttered and complained to himself.
"You are such a good Zou Xi, impersonating me and framing me."
"I'm so angry..."
He stormed out of his seat.
"I will go to the capital right now and eat him alive!"
After taking a few steps, he regained some sanity.
The house had not been defended yet. If he left and no one was watching Xier, she would definitely escape.
The grand plan is already being implemented, and it would be very dangerous for her to go back.
Seeing him pretend to leave and then stop, Ning Yunxi understood his intention and sneered secretly.
"Your Highness, do you think you can fool me by acting like this?"
