Chapter 1064: Thoughts
The letter of breaking up was sent out of the palace by Xiao Fuzi, passed to Fang Mansion, and handed to Zhuang Shao.
Gu Mengzhen made selfless contributions, and Fang Zhixuan should repay him. He then made plans and attacked the enemy by surprise. Starting from seizing the power of the eight local officials, he worked step by step to Shengjing and "helped" Gu Mengzhen to sit firmly on the throne.
In just two days, Fang Zhixuan came up with endless strategies and turned defeat into victory several times, which was very effective.
That day, after sending his younger brother back to his bedroom for a nap, Gu Mengzhen returned to the main hall of the Disheng Palace to review memorials.
His heart was in turmoil and he could not calm down. He just picked up a memorial and immediately put it back where it belonged.
He supported his head with his hands, his eyes dull as he looked towards the direction of Prince Di Jin's palace. He was restless and full of thoughts.
Brother Zhuang's plan is brilliant, but also somewhat ambiguous.
His plan seemed to be very successful, but in fact, it failed to shake the political situation at all.
It makes sense to say that he is sincerely planning major events for me; it is also reasonable to say that he is actually controlling the situation for Yan Yu.
In this case, how can we judge where your ambitions lie?
Ugh.
I have been overthinking and doubting your loyalty without any reason, simply because we are not related.
This idea is totally wrong.
Uncle Zhuang and I are not blood relatives, and our minds and personalities are very different.
What was the result? Uncle Zhuang was incredibly caring, even more loving than a mother. He was the person in the world who cared about me the most.
From this, it can be inferred that Brother Zhuang must be sincere...but that's not right.
Uncle Zhuang's heart is sincere, so how can we infer whether Brother Zhuang is loyal or not? The two cannot be compared.
Thinking about it, Brother Zhuang has been by my side for so many years, but it seems that he has not accomplished anything.
With him around, my power is becoming increasingly weaker, which is a world of difference compared to my early years.
In the past, his impersonation of Zhuang Shao could be interpreted as concealing his cleverness and being unable to offer any good advice. But now, what reason did he have to withhold his thoughts and ideas?
Fang Zhixuan is a member of the Fang clan after all. Isn't his strategy and talent enough to shake up the political situation?
No matter how bad he is, he can't be so bad that he can't even beat Ning Sannu, right?
Yes! That’s right!
He is using this delaying tactic to hold me back until Emperor Yan ascends the throne!
It's ridiculous that I was led by him.
Haha, Fang Zhixuan, insidious and cunning, he really deserves to be a descendant of the Fang clan.
But...it is a bit arbitrary for me to look at him this way.
Normally, Brother Zhuang's words and deeds are consistent, and he does everything in a thorough manner. I really can't find any flaws in him. In theory, he is truly obedient.
Wei'er and his sister are considerate, warm-hearted and thoughtful, just like my brother, perfect. I also didn't find any flaws in them.
Even the wisest man can make mistakes. After years of companionship, it is impossible for them to be without mistakes, unless they are both sincere.
Well, yes.
Although we are not blood relatives, we are more dependent on each other than people who are connected by blood.
Today, Brother Zhuang’s plan failed to shake the court because his opponent was the people of Beizhaotai, and he was unable to defeat them. It was normal.
Besides, I am at a disadvantage in the current situation.
An Pengyi was determined and unwavering, but he was just a military man who could not plan things and could only guard the imperial palace at most.
His son, An Xiaohuan, is indeed a man of strategy, but he is still young and cannot compete with Ji Feiyan and the others. Moreover, An Xiaohuan married Tong Zhenzhi despite my opposition. I find it hard to believe that he may be aiming for Yan Yu.
Ansong is not worth mentioning. He only knows a little bit of medical skills and can't achieve anything great.
Sister Du Hanping is in love with Emperor Yue, and I cannot trust them even more.
In this situation, who can I rely on? I can only gamble on Fang Zhixuan's sincerity.
If Fang Zhixuan is sincere, I have a hostage in my hands, and with a minister of strategic strategy, complete victory is just around the corner. Zhuang Shao, let him go. If anything happens to him, I can posthumously honor him and ensure his posthumous honor.
On the contrary, if Fang Zhixuan is not sincere, I will be completely defeated and will never be able to recover...
Brother Zhuang, are you truly loyal to me with all your heart?
Can I trust him?
He said that he has no affection for Ning Sannu. Is this true?
Why don't I use the lives of three women like Ning to test him?
Gu Mengzhen paused his thoughts, picked up his pen, and wrote a letter.
The letter was secretly delivered to Yuexi Mansion by Xiao Shenzi and handed over to Ning Yunxi.
The letter reads: "As long as you conceal it from the Emperor Jin and his followers and come to see me immediately, I will use your prescription to cure your illness. If you dare to disobey, I will immediately and ruthlessly eliminate Fang Zhixuan's entire family."
Ning Yunxi knew that the emperor was reluctant to hurt her uncle. This letter might be a test of her uncle's loyalty, so she should cooperate with her uncle's plan.
She also knew that entering the palace would be safe. Firstly, she was a senior official of Emperor Jin, and had made considerable achievements under Lord Yan. The Emperor, seeking to win over the hearts of the people, would not rashly harm Yan Chen. Secondly, her uncle was a master of military strategy, and his cleverness had more than earned the Emperor's trust. He believed that today, just like Qu Xinshan's previous plan, there would be no danger.
Since you have been summoned, it is not a bad idea to go to the palace.
If, by some chance, the emperor is really willing to adopt her prescription and slightly alleviate the symptoms, then she can buy more time for her uncle, control the court situation, and delay the emperor.
The palace's defenses were the brainchild of her fourth senior brother. She had been studying with her fellow disciples for some time, and perhaps she could find a way to defeat them, so she could wait for the right moment to welcome her uncle out of the palace.
You can achieve multiple things with one stone, why not?
Ning Yunxi acted cautiously, took out the imperial edict to enthrone the emperor and empress, stored it in the medical space, and then hid himself and went to the palace.
The guards reported that Princess Yuexi entered the palace from the south gate and walked to Disheng Palace in accordance with the emperor's order.
Gu Mengzhen immediately ordered the palace servants to wake up Fang Zhixuan and convey the emperor's oral instructions, ordering him to go to the South Gate as soon as possible.
After giving the order, Gu Mengzhen got on the carriage and rushed to the South Gate.
Xiao Fuzi followed closely behind on horseback, carrying a bow and arrow.
When Fang Zhixuan heard the oral instructions, he knew what Gu Mengzhen meant.
It is at this moment that I will sacrifice myself for Emperor Yan and my family.
Fang Zhixuan simply washed up, mounted his horse, and galloped towards the South Gate.
Gu Mengzhen climbed up to the attic, looked down from above, and aimed a fatal arrow at Ning Yunxi.
Ning Yunxi was completely unaware of the impending danger and thought she was cooperating with her uncle and gaining the emperor's trust.
The arrow left the bowstring as fast as lightning and flew towards Ning Yunxi.
The horse was galloping, and Fang Zhixuan didn't bother to stop the horse. He jumped up and stood in front of his niece.
"Xi'er, be careful!"
The arrow pierced through his body, leaving a bloody scarlet mark, which was shocking. Ning Yunxi was shocked and tears fell from her eyes. She quickly reached out to help him.
"Uncle, you?"
"The arrow wasn't shot by you? Isn't this a ploy to gain the emperor's trust?"
Fang Zhixuan shook his head slightly, mustering up the strength to express his true feelings.
"I planned to bring you into the palace, not to gain the emperor's trust, but to fulfill his orders."
"I said I would protect you my whole life, but because of my special status, I can't be by your side like an ordinary uncle and grow up with you."
"All along the way, I've always had to pretend to hurt you through all sorts of schemes. Today, I'm finally being fair and square and protecting you for once."
"Xi'er, I..."
Ning Yunxi touched the silver ring, took out the medicine, and fed it to him.
"Uncle, don't be so anxious to speak."
"Take the pill quickly and protect your heart meridians to avoid life-threatening situations..."
The moment Fang Zhixuan took the pill into his mouth, he fainted on the ground.
She wanted to support her uncle, but she was powerless. Ning Yunxi was so sad that tears fell like rain.
"Uncle! Uncle!"
