Chapter 1063 No Emotions
The herbal ingredients meet Yan Yu's requirements.
He immediately ordered the officials of the Northern Zhaotai and the Duhutai to cooperate with each other and take turns guarding Emperor Jin's palace. Then, he entered the medical space and concentrated on preparing medicine as quickly as possible.
Yan Danqing wrote according to the plan, ordering Gu Mengzhen to abdicate and assist Emperor Yan to ascend the throne.
In order to reassure the people, protect the reputation of the Yan clan, and prevent the subjects from misunderstanding them, Yan Danqing forced Gu Mengzhen to return the throne. He specially set the handover time for the second half of the year and instructed the emperor not to rush and that all matters should be carried out step by step.
Yan Danqing was thoughtful, so Gu Mengzhen naturally couldn't do anything too embarrassing. So, he announced to the public that he would always be Yan's minister, unwavering in his original intention, and would try to complete the handover within four months.
Emperor Palace.
Gu Mengzhen was unsure and complained and asked questions.
"It's obvious that someone is behind this, the Crown Prince, instructing him to do this."
"The instigator may be the people of Beizhaotai. They have a meticulous plan and are extremely difficult to deal with. I really don't have any confidence."
"My dear brother, you said that if you could help me regain power, the situation would be settled within four months. Was this a joke?"
"Four months, is that enough?"
Fang Zhixuan is almost certain.
"I have already said too much."
"Don't worry, my royal brother. Four months will be enough."
Gu Mengzhen felt like he was being stabbed in the back.
"It's not that I doubt your strategy is inferior to others, but I'm afraid we are outnumbered."
"To deal with the people of Beizhaotai, we must have a foolproof plan."
"My dear brother, what is your plan?"
Fang Zhixuan sat upright and served tea, being very humble.
"To be honest, my humble opinion is indeed no match for the people of Beizhaotai. In a head-on confrontation, I will undoubtedly lose."
"Then, my royal brother, don't worry."
"I am a descendant of the Fang clan. Staying by your side is like being held hostage by your royal brother. Brother Crown Prince, considering the loyalty of the Fang clan, it is impossible for you to disregard the lives of my family. The people of Beizhaotai care about Fang Renshu, and it is even more impossible for them to hurt me."
"They have their concerns, so they inevitably lose sight of one thing while focusing on another. The advantage is ours."
"I, your humble servant, am determined to recapture the Eight Terraces for you and help Your Majesty take power over the world. I beg for your trust, my brother."
Gu Mengzhen took the teacup, took a sip of tea, and felt calm.
"My dear brother, you are loyal and courageous. I trust you."
"Although, for them, you are in my hands and we should not act rashly; however, for me, Duke Jingshan is in their hands, so I dare not act rashly either."
"If this stalemate continues, can it end in four months?"
Fang Zhixuan was understanding.
"Brother Shao will be fine. We can do whatever we want."
"This humble servant has already found out that Shao is in charge of Yiren Qingcheng's affairs. He has close ties with Ning Yunxi and they have a deep friendship. Ning Yunxi considers him a family member."
"Brother Emperor, please think about this. With Ning Yunxi protecting us, who among the enemy dares to murder Brother Shao?"
Gu Mengzhen is extremely worried.
"I'm afraid that the three Ning girls are all hypocritical."
Fang Zhixuan remained calm and expressed his views directly.
"It doesn't look like it to me."
"Brother Shao is naive, not foolish. If the enemy didn't show any sincerity, how could he live carefree in the Fang Mansion and refuse to acknowledge his relatives?"
"Your Highness is certain that Brother Shao is safe."
Gu Mengzhen suddenly woke up.
"I'm slow to react, and only now I realize that you don't seem to have any feelings for the third daughter of Ning?"
Fang Zhixuan was both amused and confused.
"Brother, this is just nonsense."
"I don't know her at all, so of course I don't have any feelings for her."
Gu Mengzhen pointed out the facts.
"You've fought each other many times since last year. How can you say you don't know each other?"
Fang Zhixuan was indifferent and heartless, as if he was talking about an insignificant person.
"Those who are enemies only use their strategies against each other."
"Emperor Yue is very strict with my sister. I've barely met her, so how can I say I know her?"
"As a fellow minister of the Emperor, if I must discuss my relationship with her, I humbly believe we can barely be called old colleagues."
Gu Mengzhen reminded.
"After all, she is Fang Renshu's beloved daughter."
Fang Zhixuan made a look of disdain.
"so what?"
"I don't even take Fang Renshu seriously, let alone Ning Yunxi?"
Gu Mengzhen avoided his gaze and had a bitter smile on his face.
"People who are close will always have feelings, and they can't help it."
Fang Zhixuan expressed his firm stance.
"I don't think so."
"In previous battles, this minister has shown no restraint and has never felt any compassion for her."
"Earlier, when Emperor Yue revealed my identity, I made all sorts of excuses. There were two reasons for this. First, I was reluctant to be separated from my brother, and second, I didn't want to admit my identity as a member of the Fang clan."
"I am deeply ashamed to be born into a Fang clan."
Gu Mengzhen stared intently, deeply moved, and smiled with tears in his eyes.
"My dear brother, you have paid too much."
"In this life, I am fortunate to have the opportunity to know and cherish you. I am overjoyed."
Fang's mysterious and warm words.
"I am honored to have your Majesty smile."
Gu Mengzhen felt warm in his heart.
"Which family you were born into is not your own decision. I am wrong and should not care about your background."
"Please forgive me, my dear brother."
Fang Zhixuan is gentle and kind, and peaceful.
"It's only natural that your Majesty would be concerned. If it were me, I would also be suspicious."
"Being strict with yourself is exhausting both physically and mentally. You and I, brothers, should just get along harmoniously as before. My royal brother, please don't overwork yourself, and take good care of yourself."
Gu Mengzhen's tears welled up in his eyes.
"My dear brother, I have no way to repay your kindness."
He was serious about his commitment.
"If I gain power and change the dynasty, you, my dear brother, will be considered a hero."
"When the time comes, I will restore the power of the Grand Minister and the Grand Marshal, second only to the Emperor and above all others. You may hold any position you desire, exercise power as you please, and do whatever you please. As long as you are pleased, I will obey you."
Fang Zhixuan uses words carefully.
"Thank you for your grace, my Royal Brother. Please forgive me for not daring to accept it."
"If my brother the Emperor were to rule the world, I, your humble servant, would be completely loyal and devoted, even to the point of dying in service."
Gu Mengzhen gently stroked the back of his brother's hand with tenderness.
"My dear brother, give up your family for me."
"I am the same as you. I would rather let the world down than let you down."
"If necessary, you don't have to worry about the safety of Lord Jingshan; if necessary, you can use him to accomplish your goals."
"We don't want that ungrateful Zhuang Shao. From now on, you, Fang Zhixuan, are my only good brother."
Fang Zhixuan was deeply moved and burst into tears.
"Your Majesty, I am deeply grateful to you. I am deeply ashamed."
Gu Mengzhen took out a silk handkerchief and wiped away his tears.
"You may not believe it."
"Don't worry, my dear brother. I will prove to you that this is all true and sincere. It's not just random talk, nor is it to buy people's hearts."
"I will immediately write a letter and send someone to deliver it, breaking off all ties with Zhuang Shao!"
As he spoke, he couldn't wait to leave the dragon throne and walk towards the desk.
Fang Zhixuan stopped crying and chased after the emperor, stopping him.
"My Royal Brother, please wait."
"I believe in you, brother. Thank you for your concern."
Gu Mengzhen rolled up his sleeves and wiped away the tears that had not yet dried on his brother's face.
"We are a family. It is my duty to care about you."
"Don't cry, my dear brother. A grown man crying will only make you a laughing stock."
"I must write the letter, and I want you to watch me write it."
Fang Zhixuan's eyes were innocent.
"Is it okay if my royal brother only writes letters and doesn't send books?"
Gu Mengzhen was amused by him.
"Then why am I writing this?"
"My dear brother, please do not stop me. I must break off all ties with him."
