After the daughter was treated harshly by her family, everyone knelt down and begged for forgiveness

Chapter 1067 No mercy

The North Hall of Disheng Palace.

Fang Zhixuan was seriously injured and fainted several times. Bucket after bucket of cold water was poured over his body to force him to wake up.

Red color dyes the puddles on the ground, and the afterglow of the setting sun swirls through it. The scenery is not beautiful at all, but it is heartbreaking to see.

Ning Yunxi was extremely heartbroken and wept bitterly.

"uncle……"

Gu Mengzhen was enjoying his snacks, feeling relaxed and at ease.

"You said that even if you died, you would still protect my royal brother."

"Do you still remember, my dear brother?"

Fang Zhixuan said nothing.

Gu Mengzhen was sarcastic.

"I cherish my dear brother and intend to fulfill your loyalty. When the time comes, I will announce that you were murdered by Ning Yunxi in order to protect me."

"After my brother's death, I will certainly offer him the utmost respect and honor. I will petition the Emperor Jin to posthumously confer upon him the title of king and grant him a two-character posthumous title."

"I have given this much, are you satisfied, my dear brother?"

Fang Zhixuan still didn't answer.

Gu Mengzhen smiled coldly.

"Ah."

"Before taking a nap, my dear brother kept calling me "Royal Brother," as if we were brothers."

"In just two hours, my dear brother has changed so quickly and turned so ruthless. He is indeed a member of the Fang clan."

The pain came and Fang Zhixuan trembled.

Gu Mengzhen took a sip of tea, walked to Fang Zhixuan, and spit all over him without restraint.

The tea exacerbated the pain, and Fang Zhixuan gritted his teeth and burst into tears.

Gu Mengzhen had a sneering look on his face, looking sinister and scary.

"Does it hurt now?"

"You will suffer from pain and die in a few days at most."

"I have been deceived by you for twenty-two years. Have I ever trembled in fear? How could I be so cowardly and delicate as you?"

"My dear brother, we have had so many good days that we cannot bear even a little pain."

"The Fang clan is indeed getting worse with each generation. Sooner or later, they will be wiped out and have no one left."

Fang Zhixuan remained silent and didn't even look at him.

Tearing off a piece of clothing from the palace maid beside him, Gu Mengzhen carefully and gently wiped the sweat off Fang Zhixuan's face.

"Why aren't you talking, my dear brother? Are you in so much pain you can't speak, or do you just not want to pay attention to me?"

"Could it be that you misunderstood me as harboring ill intentions?"

"My dear brother, you are totally wrong."

"I did this simply because I wanted to be both lenient and gentle, and to train my virtuous brother to become a pillar of the country."

"When I hit you, the pain is in my heart. If it weren't for Yue Sheng Tianxia and the generations of Yan Emperors, how could I bear to hurt you like this?"

"My heart, as always, has high hopes for you."

Seeing his indifference, he lost his patience and warned him harshly.

"If you don't reply, I will order all the guards to teach your niece how to serve King Dijin."

Fang Zhixuan endured the pain and spoke tremblingly.

"What do you want me to reply?"

Gu Mengzhen teased.

"Oh, my dear brother, you can talk."

"I haven't heard your voice for a long time. I thought that the palace maids were careless in using the medicine, which caused your muteness."

He had a sudden idea and readily suggested it.

"In the past, in order to gain my trust, you often ridiculed Ning Yunxi, slandered her with harsh words, and showed no mercy."

"But unfortunately, it was all sarcasm behind your back, and your nephew never heard it."

"Just right, I haven't heard enough. Please, brother, give me some more ridicule to cheer me up, and let your nephew listen too."

Fang Zhixuan changed his usual attitude and looked at him with contempt.

"Don't think about it."

Gu Mengzhen was disappointed and unhappy.

"Brother, are you unwilling?"

"why?"

"Didn't you say you didn't know her at all? Why are you suddenly so affectionate towards Wei Yang now?"

Feeling a bit jealous, he softened his heart unconsciously and decided to give his brother a chance to reform.

"As long as you say it, even just one word, I will forgive you immediately."

"My dear brother, please think carefully. The things in the North Palace are painful, and what you have endured today is only the tip of the iceberg."

"You won't gain anything by opposing me. It's better to admit your mistakes and at least save your life."

Fang Zhixuan sneered.

"Heaven will not bless those who plot rebellion."

The short words hit a sore spot, and Gu Mengzhen flew into a rage, gesturing with anger.

"you!"

"Who are you criticizing?!"

Fang Zhixuan glared coldly.

"You know it in your heart."

Thinking back to what he had said before and comparing it with what he said today, Gu Mengzhen was so angry that his whole body was shaking.

"You... Fang Zhixuan you..."

Xiao Shenzi reported respectfully.

"Your Majesty, the imperial meal is ready."

He resolved the dilemma and Gu Mengzhen's anger calmed down a little.

"Well, serve the food."

His eyes were as fierce as a bird of prey.

"Brother Rong, please rest for a while. I will come back to accompany you after dinner."

After saying this, Gu Mengzhen turned away.

A group of palace servants followed closely behind and left the room.

The guards also left the room, and the last one closed the door.

An Pengyi, following the order, deployed guards to take turns guarding the North Palace to prevent Fang Zhixuan and the other two from escaping.

Ning Yunxi's eyes were blurred with tears and she could not see the people in front of her clearly.

"Why did Uncle seek his own destruction?"

"You could have held the Emperor back until Emperor Yan ascended the throne, completed the Fang clan's plan, received your reward, and achieved the reputation of a meritorious official, which would have been recorded in history forever."

"But why do you do such unnecessary things?"

Fang Zhixuan stared intently, and amidst his weakness, a hint of doting and tenderness remained.

"You understand."

"I don't need to explain anything."

Ning Yunxi tried her best to persuade her uncle to stay.

"But I've always fantasized about leaving Beijing as a family and traveling when the world is at peace."

"Some time ago, at the Danbo Ya residence, my uncle said that he wanted to make it up to me."

"How can I make amends for abandoning the world?"

"I can give the emperor all the honor and glory he desires. Can you please coax him and beg him to let you go?"

"Uncle, I can't bear to leave you, please don't leave me..."

The prescription is profound and the words are to the point, the logic is correct and the words are straightforward.

"The affairs of the world come first, and the interests of the family come second."

"My words may be harsh, please forgive me, my dear nephew."

"When dealing with people and things, one must be reasonable and sensible. Sacrificing one's own family for the sake of greater things is a noble act. Xi'er should be sensible and help me, instead of crying and trying to stop me."

"You are petty and selfish. If anyone knows, they will definitely blame you and bring shame to the Fang clan."

Ning Yunxi was heartbroken and tears streamed down her face.

"But uncle, I really can't bear to leave you..."

Fang Zhixuan felt deeply sorry.

"Xi'er, I'm sorry."

Ning Yunxi felt heartbroken.

"I don't want to hear your apology, I just hope you can survive."

Fang Zhixuan spoke softly, gentle as water.

"I have something to ask you to do."

"My dear nephew, please don't cry so quickly. Just listen to me, okay?"

Ning Yunxi tried her best to stop crying, but she kept sobbing.

"Yes."

Fang Zhixuan's message was sincere and profound.

"We are sworn brothers, and we understand each other deeply. If I go back, my brother Shao will not live."

"He was a very stubborn man, and I was really worried about him, so I left a suicide note and hid it in a secret compartment in the manor."

"Help me and give it to him."

"My words are clumsy and may not persuade me. If my words are not enough to move Shao, please ask my beloved nephew to comfort him and stop him from doing anything stupid."

Hearing these last words, Ning Yunxi felt sad and heartbroken.

"Yes."

Fang Zhixuan gathered his strength and asked with concern.

"Do you know how you plan to leave the palace safely after I die?"

Ning Yunxi nodded.

"Yes, my nephew knows."

Fang Zhixuan was generous in his praise.

"I foolishly thought I would design something for you, but I didn't expect you to understand it without my instruction."

"Xi'er is extremely intelligent, a rare genius."
