Chapter 291 Are you interested in mothering the world?
Today Emperor Cheng Ming dealt with the Minister of Punishment so neatly without asking a single word about what happened on death row. This is not in line with Emperor Cheng Ming's past character.
The more Tang Miaoxin thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.
Ning Guzhou said quietly: "It's not that my father is easy to talk to, but that nothing in this world can be hidden from his eyes. He is using me to suppress my second brother."
Tang Miaoxin looked puzzled: "What does this matter have to do with the second prince?"
Ning Guzhou replied: "The person who benefited the most from Ning Zhiyuan's defeat was his second brother. He has not been idle recently."
"He went around wooing ministers and cultivating his own power."
Tang Miaoxin curled her lips slightly. She was not interested in the fight among the princes for the right to inherit the throne.
Under the seemingly calm surface of the capital, there is no telling how many murderous intentions are hidden.
Following Ning Guzhou was like dancing on the tip of a knife, and her life was likely to be in jeopardy.
She still had to quickly cure Ning Guzhou and leave this place of right and wrong.
Ning Guzhou said that the second prince was not idle, and he was afraid that he was not idle either.
She smiled: "Your matter is too complicated. I can't understand it and I don't want to understand it."
"But my lord, you have to work hard! I'm optimistic about you!"
Ning Guzhou asked her: "Have you ever thought about wanting your mother to honor the world?"
Tang Miaoxin smelled the dangerous atmosphere, her heart skipped a beat, and she yelled, "Mother Yi Tianxia? Me? Your Majesty, are you kidding me!"
She seemed to have heard some terrible joke and laughed so hard: "With my temperament of jumping up and down, what can I do to show my mother the world?"
"Are you asking me to dress up in fancy clothes and show you how to punch people in the face, climb over walls and climb trees?"
Ning Guzhou glanced at her, his phoenix eyes distant and cold.
Thinking about her temperament and the scene she described, he felt that it could really happen.
After a long while, he sighed softly and said: "That's right, your temperament is more suitable for traveling far away from home and enjoying your grudges."
Tang Miaoxin was about to agree when he added: "It's just that, who in this world is willing to compromise and seek compromise, and who doesn't want to settle for grudges?"
Tang Miaoxin was slightly stunned. Ning Guzhou took her hand and said, "Tang Miaoxin, I can't promise anything else."
"But what I can do is that as long as you are my princess, you can enjoy your grudges as much as you want."
"If you encounter something like today's Minister of Justice in the future, don't act so quickly. Leave it to me."
Tang Miaoxin was a little surprised and looked at him. Although his eyebrows were still distant and cold, they were a bit doting.
She really didn't expect to see such emotions in his eyes.
She was so frightened that she fell off the carriage and sat down on the ground, her butt almost breaking into four pieces.
When Ning Guzhou saw her look, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He pulled her up and asked, "What's wrong?"
Tang Miaoxin smiled: "It's nothing, I just feel that the prince will not let me hit people in the future. What should I do if my hands are itchy?"
Ning Guzhou: "..."
He spoke so clearly that she still misinterpreted it.
He snorted coldly, stood up and left.
Tang Miaoxin took his hand and said, "Your Majesty, how about this?"
"In the future, if I meet those who are looking for a beating, I will give them a good beating, and you will give them another beating. This way everyone will be happy. What do you think?"
Ning Guzhou: "..."
He didn't take action for the so-called pleasure, he just wanted to protect her.
He glanced at her and said in a cold tone: "I don't think it's very good."
"Based on the methods you and I use to beat people, how many people in the entire capital do you think can withstand it without being beaten to death?"
Tang Miaoxin: "...It seems so."
Ning Guzhou looked at her and said, "Although I am a prince, I will still be held accountable if I beat people to death."
Tang Miaoxin chuckled: "How about we act a little more gently to give the other party a breath?"
Ning Guzhou raised his eyebrows: "That's okay."
Tang Miaoxin couldn't help laughing when she heard what he said, especially since his expression at this time was so serious.
She suddenly felt that although he usually spoke harshly and had a bad temper, he didn't seem to be that difficult to get along with.
It was a little late when they returned to the palace, and dusk was already falling all around.
When Tang Miaoxin got off the carriage, she saw Ning Changping sitting alone on the stone tile in front of the palace, looking listless.
Tang Miaoxin shouted: "Changping!"
Ning Changping immediately jumped down from the stone fence and quickly threw himself into her arms: "Wow, sister-in-law, you are finally back!"
Ning Changping's eyes were red and blue, and he looked very haggard.
This was the first time Tang Miaoxin saw Ning Changping like this, and she quickly asked: "What's wrong with you? Who bullied you?"
Ning Changping shook his head: "No one bullied me, I'm just a little scared."
Ning Guzhou glanced at the two of them: "Go in and talk!"
On the way back to the room, Ning Changping told the story intermittently about yesterday when she brought the pearls into the kitchen and the pearls were pushed into the cauldron by the little eunuch.
Ning Changping said softly: "After the prince's accident happened yesterday, the queen went to the uncle to discuss countermeasures."
"Maybe the negotiation didn't go smoothly. After she returned to the palace, she got very angry and killed several royal chefs and eunuchs because of the pearl fishing incident."
"The eunuch who pushed the pearl into the pot sent someone to send me a letter after the incident, saying that he pushed the pearl because he saw the pearl push me into the well."
"He committed a crime once before, and the queen wanted to kill him. I accidentally saved him. He believed that he was collecting pearls to repay his kindness."
"After I received the letter, I wanted to save him. When I went there, he had been beaten to a bloody pulp and had expired."
After Tang Miaoxin and Ning Guzhou heard this, they said in unison: "You have been deceived."
After they finished speaking, they looked at each other, both a little surprised.
Ning Changping asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Why was I deceived? I remembered it yesterday. It was indeed the pearl fisher who pushed me down the dry well."
Ning Guzhou looked at Tang Miaoxin and said, "Tell her."
Tang Miaoxin said: "Maybe he saw Pearl Cai pushing you down the dry well, and you might have saved him accidentally."
"But if he really wants to repay his kindness, after pushing the pearl into the pot, the matter will end there. There is no need to let you know."
Ning Changping blinked and couldn't understand why for a while.
Tang Miaoxin then added: "To put it another way, you have been pushed down the dry well for so many years, and he has not expressed the slightest sign."
"Why did I choose to tell you at this time? And in this way?"
Ning Changping still shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand.
Tang Miaoxin said directly: "To put it bluntly, someone wants to use you to make this matter go away."
"Now that something happens to the prince, the queen is the prince's greatest support and the basis for his recovery."
"If the eldest maid next to the queen murders you, the only princess, my father will definitely blame the queen for it."
