Chapter 949 Taking Care of You
Ning Yunxi was terrified and dodged his hand.
"With King Dijin here, I don't feel lonely."
"Please step back, brother."
Gu Yuanqiong grabbed her wrists, reached over her head, and locked her hands to the wall.
"That night, I tested your reaction. It was obvious that you had been lonely for a long time and were not feeling comfortable."
"This king has experienced a lot and has great skills. Don't try to deceive me with just a few words."
"Don't be afraid, Xi'er. I understand women's tenderness and will treat you gently."
Ning Yunxi gave a stern warning.
"I have received the imperial decree to enthrone the empress, but I have not yet announced it to the world. If you dare to interfere, your crime will be severe."
Gu Yuanqiong took it calmly.
"When her husband dies, her wife can remarry at any time, even if her husband is the emperor."
Ning Yunxi's almond-shaped eyes were filled with a hint of suspicion.
"What do you mean by that?"
Looking her up and down, imagining her gracefulness, a hint of charm appeared at the corner of Gu Yuanqiong's lips.
"What do you say?"
"Xi'er is smart, she will understand what I am saying."
Ning Yunxi raised her hands, trying to break free.
"Are you planning to plot against my brother?"
In Gu Yuanqiong's view, her resistance was futile.
"Not planning to."
"My plan has already been implemented."
"Let alone the imperial decree, it has not yet been announced to the world. Even if the emperor and empress are enthroned and the ceremony is completed, it will be useless."
Ning Yunxi felt like she was going to collapse as she was worried about her brother and couldn't break free.
"I want to go back and save him."
"Let me go!"
Gu Yuanqiong easily held her with one hand, and his other hand was more than enough to untie her belt.
"Xi'er, stop pretending to be in love with King Dijin."
"I see your feelings clearly and know them clearly."
"The shadow of the past is still here, so you dare not enjoy yourself, is that right or not?"
Ning Yunxi showed a hint of ferocity.
"Don't touch me, go away!"
Gu Yuanqiong untied his belt, let go, picked her up horizontally, and walked towards the bed.
"Don't be afraid, Xi'er. I will only try once. As long as you become my person, that will be enough."
"Then, if you want it, I will give it to you. I will never force you."
Ning Yunxi had no choice but to temporarily put aside the idea of returning to Beijing and shouted with all her might, calling for help.
"Second Senior Sister, Ninth Senior Brother, save me..."
Fearing that Masters Zhuo and Cen would come looking for her, Gu Yuanqiong hurriedly stopped and covered her mouth with his free hand.
"Xi'er, don't shout."
"It's really just this once. I'll finish it quickly so you don't suffer for too long."
"Just listen to me, okay?"
In order to find Ning Yunxi, Zhuo Minlan and Cen Tang ordered their men to set up a dragnet in suspicious places in Shuying County, but if there was any unusual movement, they were to send a signal immediately.
At the inn, a team of people heard the call for help and split up to act. They were well-trained. A few people gave a signal to welcome the two adults; the rest rushed to rescue, roughly determined the location, quickly found out where Princess Yuexi was, and broke into the house.
When Gu Yuanqiong heard the noise, he immediately stopped his reckless behavior, behaved himself properly, and acted as if the two sides were getting along well with each other, so as not to offend the people of Beizhaotai and bring disaster upon themselves.
Zhuo Minlan rushed to the inn as quickly as possible.
"Little junior sister!"
Ning Yunxi ran forward, trembling timidly, and threw herself into her arms.
"Second Senior Sister..."
Hearing the crying tone, Gu Yuanqiong gave a reasonable explanation.
"This child insisted on playing hide-and-seek with you, and I couldn't persuade her. Unexpectedly, when she got separated from you, she suddenly started crying."
"That's right. I'm not familiar with the place, so I can't help but feel scared."
"I have tried my best to comfort you, but it is of no use at all."
"Fortunately, the adults found it in time."
Zhuo Minlan didn't believe it, lowered her eyes and asked Junior Sister Yu.
"Is what the prince said true?"
Ning Yunxi pretended to burst into tears, but in fact, she was weighing the pros and cons in her mind.
It is not a problem to alienate them based on my own experience.
Without the help of Beizhaotai, it would be extremely difficult for Prince Li to gain a foothold in the court.
But, Aunt Pan and Fourth Sister are in his hands. If I make him unhappy, they will be the ones who suffer.
Hui'er's cousin once said that those who abandoned their relatives in vain should be cut into pieces.
Although the political situation is important, one cannot abandon one's family.
After thinking about it, Ning Yunxi gradually stopped crying and replied to her second senior sister.
"That's what the prince said."
Gu Yuanqiong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Knowing that Junior Sister must have her reasons for lying, Zhuo Minlan gave her face and smiled politely.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for taking care of my junior sister. I am very grateful."
Gu Yuanqiong smiled back.
"Master Zhuo is too polite."
"Remember to wipe out all traces of our whereabouts, so that no one in Shengjing can find out our whereabouts."
Zhuo Minlan lowered her eyebrows in respect.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will be very careful in my work and will not slack off for even a moment."
"I'm sorry for my impoliteness."
"I am Zhuo Minlan, respectfully wishing His Majesty the best of health."
The rest of the crowd knelt down accordingly.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Without lingering, the crowd escorted the prince back to his elegant residence.
Ning Yunxi was depressed and returned to Xiangxueju.
With no one to whom she could tell her true feelings, she could only daydream and think of countermeasures on her own.
I thought that after confirming their kinship, His Royal Highness Prince Li would be concerned about the safety of my ancestor and would put everything aside and return to the capital to save my ancestor and get out of the secret passage house of Tongshitai.
Who would have thought that he was so full of love that he didn't care about family affection at all.
Now that I think about it, my elder brother's words are very reasonable. Prince Li has ignored the brotherhood and has ambitions that are not in his own family.
If I had known this would happen, I should have listened to my elder brother, persuaded my uncle to return, and plotted to get rid of King Li.
Ugh.
It's just an angry remark, just think about it.
How could I bear to kill my fourth brother’s beloved son?
Since begging King Li doesn't work, I might as well try to persuade my fourth sister to cooperate with me and escape from King Li's clutches.
The fourth sister is too obsessed and it is difficult to persuade her, and I don’t know if I can succeed.
She believed that Prince Li had true feelings for me, and therefore, he deliberately excluded me.
First of all, I have to let her see the truth. I am not her rival in love. The woman that Prince Li truly loves is actually her. Only then can she let go of her guard and accept my advice.
Then, I gave her another suggestion, telling her to abandon Prince Li and turn to Prince Di Jin, in order to make Prince Li jealous and realize her true feelings.
In this way, not only can I save my family, but I can also bring lovers together. What's more, I can also find a good minister for my brother, which is very good.
Just as he was thinking about it, the voice of Second Senior Sister came from outside the house. From the tone of her voice, it seemed that she was arguing with someone. Ning Yunxi walked over quietly, curious to listen.
Zhuo Minlan was impatient.
"Miss Mi, there is no need to say such divisive words anymore."
"I'm busy and don't have time to listen to your nonsense."
Mi Yao was sincere and tried hard to persuade him.
"Master Zhuo was so focused on protecting his junior sister that he didn't think about the fact that Princess Yuexi was devoted to King Dijin and didn't care about Jiaci's hatred at all."
"How could King Di Jin be so ungrateful as to exterminate the Fang family? Have you forgotten everything?"
"Princess Yuexi first followed the emperor and was taught by his people since she was a child. Later, she turned to King Dijin and was taught by him again. The so-called junior sister is just her background, not her heart. If you foolishly join the game, she will make you die without a burial place."
"To avenge Lord Fang, I can help you all, even if it means going through fire and water."
