The bond between the two has weakened a lot, and in the heart of the Fourth Prince, the male and female protagonists are far inferior to Ning Xu, with whom he has worked for many years.

"Nephew, I heard that the situation in the capital is very serious. I hope Xu'er will be fine!"

Some time ago, the third prince was exiled thousands of miles away. The news spread to Tu Yufan's hometown. Uncle Zhu is now more worried about Ning Xu than Tu Yufan.

After Zhu Xiulan's husband passed the imperial examination and was appointed as a county magistrate in a wealthy place under the help of Ning Xu, he was away from the disputes in the court.

"Uncle, you are so old and you worry so much."

"Can't you just stop saying this!" Uncle Zhu said with full energy and a bit of anger.

Tu Yufan said calmly, "Everyone has to accept old age. Hey, I'm going to the capital soon, uncle, you have to take care of yourself in the future."

"Why are you going to the capital? It's a dangerous place."

"When Xu'er becomes a high-ranking official and is granted a title, he will take me in to take care of me."

"What are you talking about? Xu'er is so young, how could he possibly become a first-rank official? I've also studied for a few years, so don't fool me."

Tu Yufan thought to himself: You know nothing about the villain's abilities.

"Since ancient times, wealth and honor have been sought in danger, and the merit of following the dragon is even more hidden in the high risk of enormous wealth."

"What!! Xu'er also participated in the struggle for imperial power. How can you be a father? How can he be so bold? Is he trying to go to heaven?" Poor Uncle Zhu, who was over 80 years old, almost fainted from fright.

Tu Yufan knew that what he said was wrong and that Uncle Zhu really could not stand the stimulation, so he quickly asked the doctor to come and prescribe some tranquilizers.

As a result, news came that day that the emperor had passed away and the fourth prince had ascended the throne.

Also coming along was the imperial edict conferring the title of Viscount to Tu Yufan. One could easily tell that it was an act of grace from the new emperor, and Tu Yufan also got some benefit from Ning Xu's influence.

This time, Uncle Zhu completely fainted due to the ups and downs he experienced.

Tu Yufan invited several doctors to come and pinch the Ren Zhong point hard before they managed to wake him up.

Uncle Zhu slowly opened his eyes.

Tu Yufan said, "Uncle, you are so old, how can you be so weak? Don't you always say that you have eaten more salt than I have walked? Such a small thing has frightened you so much."

“Shut up!”

Uncle Zhu pointed at him tremblingly.

Afterwards, Tu Yufan was taken to the Marquis' Mansion in Beijing by Ning Xu. Unexpectedly, Guan Hu came to find him as soon as he landed.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, Guan Hu's sister became Consort De, and he became a famous ruler in the capital.

"I used to call you brother, but you're so much older than me! I wanted to call Master Ning my brother, but the seniority was almost messed up."

Guan Hu started muttering loudly as soon as he arrived.

Tu Yufan shook his head: "Xu'er is more educated than you, we can't talk together, and it's impossible for us to be close friends. You can't be close friends with me either, Xu'er will beat you up."

Guan Hu: ....That doesn’t seem to be the case. If I were of the same generation as Tu Yufan, I can’t imagine what Lord Ning’s expression would be like.

An inexplicable chill rushed straight to the top of my head.
