In just a few days, Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun also met Ning Xi.

  He is tall and majestic, with a dignified appearance, and is a very handsome man. His eyebrows and eyes are more like Ning Xue's, with a hint of delicacy in his masculinity.

  The people of Ning's family, regardless of male or female, are all very beautiful.

  The Empress Dowager is like this.

  Zhu Zhongjun looked like the Empress Dowager, with delicate eyebrows and eyes. When she didn't speak, she often looked like a young girl.

  He knelt down and paid his respects to Zhu Zhongping with a very respectful attitude.

  Zhu Zhongjun reacted indifferently.

  Ning Xi's heart was racing, thinking that Qian Lan was right, and Wang Ye was indeed a bit abnormal.

  Then, Zhu Zhongjun held Gu Jin's hand and smiled sweetly, his silly and foolish smile couldn't be hidden.

  Ning Xi's heart slowly calmed down.

  He also took the opportunity to glance at Gu Jinzhi.

  Her appearance is ordinary, and she can't even compare to Xianglian's little servant girl.

  She's just a young lady from a wealthy family, never leaving the second gate, never seeing an outsider, how can she be so unscrupulous, pulling the prince's hand and coming out?

  He didn't show any unusual expression, and after a moment, he said to Zhu Zhongjun: "I'll be guarding here, is that convenient for you?"

  He also wanted to live in Gu's house and take care of Zhu Zhongjun.

  Zhu Zhongjun didn't look at him, but secretly gave Gu Jinzhi a signal with his eyes.

  Gu Jinzhi smiled and said: "Lord Ning doesn't need to bother, just stay in the Wang Fu as before. When the prince has something to do, he will naturally call Lord Ning."

  Ning Xi insisted: "As a subordinate who has received orders to protect the prince, I should naturally attend to him personally..."

  Gu Jinzhi took a look at Zhu Zhongjun.

  Zhu Zhongjun still lowered his head, half-turned his body, and played with the folded branches of sea peach blossoms on Jin's sleeve.

  "Your Highness, let Lord Ning wait at the other manor. If there's anything, we'll summon him." Gu Zhen said in a moderate tone.

  Zhu Zhongjun made a zipping motion across his mouth, pointing at Ning Xi: "You... go to that side of the house... have something to do... come back later." Then he whispered in Gu Jin's ear, "Xiao Qi. Is this right?"

  Gu Jin smiled and whispered: "The king did a good job."

  Sweat appeared on his palms.

  He came out of the Gu's house, stood at the gate, gazing at the brightly colored crimson gate, the slightly swaying golden door knocker, and didn't move for a long time.

  The king indeed has changed.

  Is he awake?

  Ning Xi remembered that when Wang was young, he was very clever, but after falling once, he became foolish.

  Is he clever again now?

  Thinking carefully, it doesn't seem quite right either.

  Ning Xi observed people very carefully, he must have come out, Lu Yang Wang's behavior, actions and language. No pretending to be stupid, all were true, no different from before.

  But why doesn't he recognize himself and Qianlan anymore, but instead listens to this newly acquainted Miss Gu?

  This girl is so capable, she has already got the prince under her control.

  Ning Xi felt a little anxious in her heart.

  This won't do.

  The king cannot be used by her.

  What if she has ulterior motives?

  Ning Xi grasped his hand tightly: He had put so much thought into it. The king only listened to him obediently. It had been less than a year since the king entered the capital, and such a change had occurred, catching Ning Xi off guard.

  He can't even get close to Wang Ye now.

  The king is being manipulated by that wicked woman!

  He thought and thought, feeling very uncomfortable.

  Many things happened in Beijing, he just came back and wasn't very clear about it.

  He then returned to the Yiyuanhou Mansion and asked his father about the matter of the Gu family.

  Ning Yu's legs were still inconvenient, but her tongue had gradually recovered normally.

  Jian Ningxi returned and said he wanted to talk again. He also sent Madame Ning to one side, and Ning Xue was slightly surprised in her heart.

  Jian Ningxi asked about the Gu family, and Ning Xiang's mood was very complicated.

  A flush of shame crossed his face.

  At that time, Gu Jin's good words informed him of his illness and promised to treat him, but he was furious. He thought others had ulterior motives and went around speaking ill of her.

  Wait until he fell ill. The other party, Gu Jin, still came to her door with medicine, allowing her condition to improve.

  “...Is Gu Yantao highly favored now?” Ning Xi asked her father, “I heard he will soon be the chief assistant and in the future, won't he cover the sky with one hand? Is it Gu Miss who has Luoyang King under her control, was it Gu Yantao's order? What do they want to do after all? Father, what else do you know, tell your child, a child cannot let the king be deceived by others!”

  Ning Yu was fine at first, but later saw Ning Xi's words were all attacking Gu Jin, and became furious.

  His face suddenly changed, and he shouted: "Rebellious son, rebellious son!"

  Ning Xi was shocked and bewildered, not knowing what to do. He quickly got up and knelt down beside his father's legs: "Father, please calm your anger! Your child deserves to die! What did your child say wrong? If you scold or beat me, it would be enough, don't get angry anymore!"

  He was afraid of making Ning Xue angry again.

  This time Ning Yu was so dangerous, Ning Xi was not by his side, and after knowing it, Ning Xi's heart was also very sad.

  If Father had gone like this, he would not have enjoyed his filial piety for a day, and without grandchildren around him, Ning Xi would not be at peace for the rest of her life.

  He is a very filial person, always looking forward to the day when he can bring glory to his ancestors and make his parents proud.

  Mrs. Ning heard Ning Xue's roar and hurried in from outside.

  Seeing Ning Yue's face twisted, Ning Xi knelt on the ground, she was shocked and hurried forward to support Ning Yue, gently stroking his back: "Lord Hou, Lord Hou! Don't be angry, the imperial physician wants you to calm down and take care of yourself..."

  Then he scolded his son, "You just came back and made your father angry. You're getting more and more out of line! In that case, you can go now, we don't need you to serve us."

  Ning Xi had no idea what was going on.

  He did not dare to argue, but knelt down.

  Ning Xue slowly came back to her senses after half a day.

  He panted, saying to Ning Xi: "Miss Gu is your father's benefactor, she is the benefactor of our whole family. If it weren't for Miss Gu, you would be wearing mourning clothes now! You ungrateful beast!"

  Her eyebrows were deeply furrowed, and she didn't know why either.

  Mrs. Ning also mentioned Gu Jinzhi for some reason.

  She asked Ning Xiang: "What did Xi Ge'er say that was unpleasant?"

  "He said that Miss Gu is hiding evil intentions, which are not beneficial to the king. Listen to these words." Ning Yu was angry again, "Others have a heart of loyalty and integrity, but you make malicious assumptions. Everyone in the world can suspect her, but only you cannot! She saved your father's life! If it were not for her kindness, your father would have died. Now that your father has not fully recovered, you are back at it again. Are you intentionally trying to make me anxious?"

  In the end, his face turned red and he started coughing violently.

  Madam Ning again busied herself rubbing his chest.

  She said to Ning Xi, "Brother Xi, don't talk nonsense! It was the Empress Dowager who repeatedly instructed that Miss Gu take good care of Prince Wang. Since Miss Gu took care of Prince Wang, he has become much more sensible and even knows how to be filial in front of the Empress Dowager, listening to her every word and no longer throwing tantrums by clinging to her legs and crying. The Empress Dowager is delighted. If you continue to spout nonsense, not only will the Empress Dowager not forgive you, but your parents won't either! You've just returned, and you're not even clear about the major and minor events in the capital. Do you know that your father had a stroke? All the imperial physicians in the city said he couldn't recover, but it was Miss Gu who helped him sit up again and regain his speech..."

  Thinking of the days when Ning Yu was unable to move, his mouth and nose were crooked, and he had defecated and urinated in bed, filling the entire room with a foul odor. Madam Ning's eyes became sour.

  She indeed left with tears.

  "Xīgēr will serve Wang Ye and Gu Miss faithfully from now on. If there's even a hint of disloyalty, it would be unfilial to us!" Madame Ning said tearfully.

  Ning Xi was inexplicably wonderful.

  He certainly knew that his father's illness was cured by Gu Jinzheng, and the Empress Dowager's cough was also cured by Gu Jinzheng.

  Can it be so touching?

  Isn't it just the doctor doing his duty? Has he cured the patient?

  Looking at their parents' behavior, they treated Gu Jin as a great benefactor.

  Ning Xi did not dare to say anything more, he kowtowed to his parents: "Your son doesn't dare anymore! Your son is foolish, Father and Mother have taught him a lesson, and he will definitely not make the same mistake again!"

  Ning Yu nodded and showed a relieved expression, letting Ning Xi get up.

  Ning Xi Dao was, with great respect and reverence, bowed his head and knocked it on the ground before getting up.

  Madam Ning also wiped away her tears.

  That day, Ning Xi stayed at home and had a simple meal. In the afternoon, she made an excuse to go back to the Luoyang Wangfu and went out.

  He went to a teahouse and found some gossipy people, asking them about interesting things in Beijing.

  Others didn't know he was the young master of Yiyuan Marquis Manor. They just thought he had also heard the joke about Yiyuan Marquis Manor and came to ask for clarification. He smiled and said, "Sir is asking about Yiyuan Marquis Manor? This is the most laughable thing in the capital this year."

  Ning Xi's heart tightened, but his smile remained unchanged as he asked: "I just returned from a distant place, tell me in detail..." Then he handed over a few copper coins to Tea Doctor, asking him to brew some good tea and add some vegetables, inviting the man to join them.

  The man sat down excitedly and began to speak eloquently: "Sir, do you know about retribution in this life? That Lord of Yiyuan Prefecture is an example of retribution..."

  That person is quite eloquent and speaks wonderfully.

  People around chimed in from time to time, adding a few words.

  "...had a stroke. You know, sir, that's a fatal illness! Who has ever seen someone recover from a stroke? Has anyone?" The man asked those around him.

  Everyone shook their heads.

  It's possible, but who would spoil the fun at this moment?

  "That's Nangong Houye, stunned to let Miss Gu treat him and stand up." The man exclaimed excitedly, "Sir, you say, originally the whole city was saying bad things about a girl's family, and then they came begging with their faces... this is retribution in this life..."

  Ning Xi stormed out of the teahouse, her heart full of anger.

  In the eyes of ordinary people, Ning Houye is naturally worthless.

  Ning Xi always thought this was a trap.

  Perhaps due to Ning Yue's upbringing from a young age, Ning Xi also felt that their family was the Empress Dowager's maternal family and held immense power and influence, with many people trying to curry favor with them.

  Listening to his parents' grateful tone, Gu Jinzhi has succeeded.

  She successfully gained the praise of the people in the capital, the gratitude of the Yiyin Marquis's household, the favor of the Empress Dowager, and even controlled the King of Luyang!

  Besides Ning Xi's tolerance, the Luoyang Wangfu had 600,000 elite soldiers, but they couldn't fall into the hands of the Gu family.

  That is his Ningxi.

  If it weren't for these things, why would he bother coaxing that silly Qianlan?

  Qian Lan's father was the commander-in-chief of Anhui, holding in his hands the 100,000 troops of the imperial court.

  In the future...

  Ning Xi thought, perhaps one day, he could also cover the sky with one hand.

  So he cherished every opportunity.

  Luoyang Wang is his first opportunity, Qianlan's father is his second chance.

  Nowadays, there are actually people who want Luoyang Wang to listen more and stay away from him. He won't let that person succeed easily, no matter who she is.

  Ning Xi slowly walked towards the Luoyang Wang Fu, thinking in her heart about how to deal with Gu Jinzhi.

  The first step is to get Wang Ye to move out of the Gu's house and back to his own residence, so that Ning Xi can let him break free from Gu Zhen's control...

  He needs to think carefully about it.
