110 Clever Ning Fu (1/2)

Su Li was flabbergasted at those words and wondered how the other person knew such an intimate detail about her.

In her intoxicated state, the only conclusion she could come up with was that the other person was none other than Zhou Sheng.

White-hot anger exploded inside her.

”Zhou Sheng, how dare you say those words to me? What? Do you think that the pain of everything that happened isn't sharp enough already so you are here trying to twist the knife some more?”

Ning Fu went still like a pray that knew it was being eyed by the hunter.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.

When he had thought of satiating his curiosity, he hadn't taken wondered how the monarch would react or if the other person would mistake him as Zhou Sheng – the one person who seemed to know the intricacies involved in all of this.

Trying not to let his rising panic take hold of him, he took a soft breath.

After all, since he had already posed the question, there was no point in backing out now.

As they say, in for a pound.

Still, though he wanted to scratch the itch that rose inside him at those questions, he didn't want land his newly-minted brother in hot water simply because he knew the person was completely and whole-heartedly devoted to the monarch.

”Your Majesty, this lowly servant is not Zhou Sheng. This one is...”

Before he could finish his words, the monarch cut him off mid-sentence.

”Yes. Yes. That's what I thought because how could Zhou Sheng ever ask me something like this. He wouldn't. After all, he has always protected me even at his own expense.”

Ning Fu's eyes narrowed at the firm tone and unshakable belief in the emperor's voice as he extolled Zhou Sheng's virtues.

Why did the monarch implicitly and explicitly trust a person who was younger than him?

He knew from personal experience that the camaraderie between the monarch and Zhou Sheng was real and it wasn't two people making use of each other.

From what he had gathered from their earlier talk, he knew Zhou Sheng had been with the monarch in his lowest point of life and people who had seen each other at their lowest were never able to just walk away from each other.

All the more, people never showed their internal struggle and weakness to people they didn't trust to watch their back in a fight.
