Tang Miaoxin was stunned for a moment. This was the first time she heard Ning Guzhou say such words, and she felt a little touched in her heart.
There was too much weakness and helplessness in his words, and there seemed to be a bit of pleading.
She couldn't imagine that the domineering Ning Guzhou would speak in such a tone, let alone what kind of expression he would have when he said such words.
She turned to look at him, and the light of the tallow candle half reflected on his face, making his facial features look more three-dimensional.
Four years have brought some changes to his temperament, and he seems to have matured a lot compared to when they were separated.
A gust of night wind blew by, slowly blowing his breath mixed with the smell of alcohol. It was somewhat similar to him in the memory, but it seemed a little different from before.
Perhaps because he drank too much, his whole face looked gentler than usual.
At this moment, Tang Miao was slightly in a trance, inexplicably remembering the time the two were together four years ago.
At that time, although Ning Guzhou was a bit rude and a bit venomous, he would always say "Are you worthy?", his arrogance and indifference were comparable to the snow on the top of the mountain.
After they fell in love, although he was quite gentle towards her, he never told her that he liked her.
He rarely talks about his own affairs.
He basically didn't show too many emotions in front of her. At most, he smiled when he was happy and had a cold face when he was unhappy.
She made a lot of noise, and sometimes he was impatient.
She reached out and pinched his face, then asked with a smile: "Are you really Ning Guzhou?"
Ning Guzhou's expression froze slightly, and he reached out to grab her hand: "It's true."
Tang Miaoxin smiled: "Even if it's fake, there's no need to change it. After all, you and I have nothing to do with each other now."
"His Royal Highness, King Qin, has found that being tough is no longer enough, so is he going to be soft?"
"I'm really sorry, but I won't accept this idea of yours."
After she finished speaking, she reached out and took his hand that was clasped around her waist.
He buckled her tightly, and although it wouldn't hurt her, he had no intention of letting go.
Tang Miaoxin was slightly annoyed: "Your Highness, King Qin, please don't push yourself too far!"
She looked at the bandit who was lying on the ground and felt dumbfounded, and turned her attention to Tang Yishen, who was the only one who was awake at this time and still eavesdropping with his ears raised.
As soon as Tang Yishen saw her looking over, he immediately raised his head and looked at the bright moon in the sky: "The moonlight is so beautiful tonight, my ears suddenly lost hearing."
Tang Miaoxin: "..."
She knew that by putting on this look, he obviously didn't want to get involved in their affairs.
Not only did Ning Guzhou not let go, he hugged her tighter, enveloping her whole body in his arms.
Tang Miaoxin frowned, this guy even kicked his nose in the face!
She said coldly: "Let go!"
Ning Guzhou's eyes were slightly red, and he said softly: "My mother and concubine are gone, and you are the only one I have in this world!"
"If you don't want me anymore, what's the point of living in this world?"
Tang Miaoxin was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and felt a little touched in her heart.
When she left Dayan, she didn't know what happened in the palace.
After Emperor Cheng Ming publicized that Ning Guzhou was the crown prince of Dayan, she no longer wanted to know anything about Ning Guzhou.
At this time, Ning Guzhou suddenly told her that Yu Bin was dead, and she couldn't help but ask: "Mother...why is Yu Bin missing?"
Ning Guzhou sniffed and said, "The Dog Emperor used her to threaten me. She didn't want me to be controlled by the Dog Emperor anymore, so she committed suicide by taking poison."
Tang Miaoxin looked at Ning Guzhou again, his eyes filled with a bit of confusion and vulnerability that he didn't usually have.
He whispered: "Miaoxin, give me another chance, okay?"
Tang Miaoxin's eyes changed slightly and she smiled at him: "Okay..."
Ning Guzhou's eyes suddenly lit up, and the next moment he felt a pain in his abdomen. It was Tang Miaoxin who punched him.
He frowned in pain, and Tang Miaoxin sneered: "What a fart! Did you eavesdrop on my conversation with my brother this afternoon?"
"Ning Guzhou, I detoxified you from your poison. I know your physique well. Not only is your body immune to all poisons, it is also immune to intoxication after a thousand cups of wine."
"You're pretending to be drunk just to show pity. I haven't seen you for a few years, and you're really becoming more and more shameless!"
Ning Guzhou: "..."
He knew that she only looked carefree, but she was actually thoughtful and sensitive.
He did not expect that she and Tang Yishen discussed getting him drunk just to see his reaction.
Tang Miaoxin became angrier as she talked: "Also, even if your mother and concubine are gone, you still have Changping!"
"If you say that, where does Changping belong?"
Ning Guzhou's eyes were dark: "I do have the intention of showing weakness, but what I just said is true."
"As for Changping, you know she has always been heartless. If you tell her this, she won't understand."
Tang Miaoxin glanced at him, and her eyes changed several times.
She knew that Ning Guzhou and Yu Bi's mother and son were deeply in love, so she would not lie about this matter, let alone curse Yu Bi to death.
She didn't meet Yu Bin many times, but she was deeply impressed by that gentle and kind woman.
If Concubine Yu died in that palace incident, it would be impossible for Ning Guzhou's temperament to follow Emperor Cheng Ming's arrangement and become the crown prince of Dayan.
She suddenly remembered another thing: "Are you the prince of Dayan now?"
Ning Guzhou said softly: "Emperor Cheng Ming made me the crown prince because he wanted to lure me into the game and kill me, and he also wanted me to become a new target."
"After the palace coup, I was seriously injured. After recuperating in the capital for more than a month, I took Changping to Qinzhou."
Tang Miaoxin also heard Mo Li talk about the Qinzhou incident today, but she was angry at the time and didn't take it to heart.
At this time, hearing Ning Guzhou talk about how he had been in Qinzhou all these years, he frowned slightly.
She turned to Tang Yishen and asked, "Is what he said true?"
Over the years, both Tang Jiuge and Tang Yishen have deliberately avoided matters related to Ning Guzhou.
Tang Miaoxin didn't want to hear any news about Ning Guzhou, let alone Dayan's change of crown prince.
Therefore, it can be said that she knows nothing about what happened to Ning Guzhou over the years.
But Tang Yishen has been walking around the rivers and lakes for these years, and he is very familiar with the major events that happened in the six countries and one city.
Tang Yishen replied: "I don't know the truth or falsehood about Yu Bin, but Ning Guzhou has indeed been in Qinzhou these years, not in the capital of Dayan."
"There has been quite a lot of commotion in Qinzhou in the past few years. Fighting against Linyuan, promoting trade, and building construction projects have brought vitality to the poor state. The King of Qin is awesome!"
Tang Miaoxin asked again: "Why don't I know any of these things?"
Tang Yishen gave her a look: "You said it yourself. You don't want to know anything about Ning Guzhou in the future."
"Just have fun all day long. Your father also issued a strict order not to allow us to talk about it in front of you."
"Who doesn't want to live anymore and comes to you to say these things?"
