Chapter 1659: The scourge will last for thousands of years
Ning Guzhou looked at him, but he picked up the jug and poured himself a glass of wine before continuing: "He said he has many sons, but he only has one daughter, Changping."
"If his son wants to inherit his world, he naturally needs to accept his test and become the best person in the world."
"But his daughter has no world to inherit. He hopes that his daughter can have a happy and smooth life."
Ning Guzhou sneered.
This kind of words is indeed the tone of Emperor Cheng Ming.
He also knew that Emperor Cheng Ming's words contained a hidden insult to him.
Until now, I'm afraid Emperor Cheng Ming has never regretted what he did.
The third prince continued: "He said that he was sorry for Chang Ping and felt guilty about Chang Ping, so this time he prepared a very generous dowry for Chang Ping."
Ning Guzhou's eyes were cold: "No amount of dowry can make up for the fact that Changping was harmed since he was a child."
"If he had cared more about Chang Ping, she wouldn't have been beaten on the head and kept stupid for so many years."
"As for us..."
When he said this, the sarcasm in his eyes became even stronger: "Not everyone wants to get his so-called empire."
"He regards his country as a treasure, and if he can, he will dominate it."
The third prince agreed with Ning Guzhou's words: "Thousands of miles of country are good, but they are not as important as life."
"Life is short. I want to be freer and live a happier life."
After he finished speaking, he poured himself another glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.
Ning Guzhou looked at him, his eyes were red, and he chuckled: "In his heart, we princes are just pawns for him to play with."
"He is a thoughtful emperor, but he is not worthy of being a father."
Over the years, the third prince has been under great pressure.
Although after the palace coup, the prince was deposed, the other princes died, some were crippled, and some were driven out of the capital.
The younger ones were too frightened to have any other thoughts about the throne.
Everyone in the court felt that Emperor Cheng Ming's preferred successor was the third prince.
But the third prince knew very clearly that the person Emperor Cheng Ming really valued was Ning Guzhou.
Although he is now established as a prince, he is nothing more than a tree that Emperor Ming set up to show to outsiders.
And he had to do his best to do his job well, otherwise, he would have no value, and Emperor Cheng Ming would not be able to tolerate him.
He would never dare to say such words tonight in Dayan.
What I could say at this time was just that I was stimulated by the happy atmosphere of everyone in the first city, and after drinking some wine, my words became a little impulsive.
Ning Guzhou picked up the wine glass and had another drink with the third prince: "I respect third brother."
The third prince looked at him, smiled, and asked directly: "When do you plan to fight back to the capital?"
The third prince is kind-hearted, but not stupid. He sees many things clearly.
The relationship between Ning Guzhou and Emperor Cheng Ming was about the death of the concubine and the identity of Tang Miaoxin. If the father and son did not fight to the death, that would be enough.
When Ning Guzhou returned to the Qing Dynasty, he put down the words that he wanted to be hired by Jiangshan. The third prince felt that he was not talking about it for Tang Jiuge, but for Emperor Cheng Ming.
The third prince could vaguely guess Emperor Ming's plan.
He knew that Emperor Cheng Ming was very angry when he first heard Ning Guzhou's words.
It's just that those angry emotions slowly accumulated until finally, I changed my mind again.
Emperor Cheng Ming should have forced Ning Guzhou to marry Tang Miaoxin, and then turned all Gui Qian's territory into Dayan's territory.
And now that Emperor Cheng Ming is seriously ill, he should want to see Ning Guzhou again before he dies.
Ning Guzhou didn't answer but asked: "Is he about to die?"
The third prince said quietly: "A few years ago we thought he was going to die, but he has always been alive."
"Every time I see him, I think he will die the next day, but he just won't breathe."
Ning Guzhou chuckled lightly when he heard this.
The prince of Dayan, to a certain extent, had a hard time becoming Emperor Ming.
In their hearts, they all hoped that Emperor Cheng Ming would die soon.
As a father, Emperor Cheng Ming failed extremely.
The third prince looked at Ning Guzhou and said, "I don't have your courage, nor your ability."
"There are some things that I can only think about but never dare to do."
"I know that when I come to the First City this time, you should be a little suspicious of me."
Ning Guzhou heard the third prince speak so straightforwardly and asked, "What are your plans, third brother?"
The corners of the third prince's lips curled up slightly: "I do have other plans, but I won't tell you now."
"You just need to know that I have no ill intentions towards you or Chang Ping."
He smiled slightly when he said this: "Although Changping and I are not of the same mother, she is my only sister."
"I hope from the bottom of my heart that she will marry the right man and live a peaceful and happy life."
Ning Guzhou nodded slightly and said, "I trust Third Brother."
The third prince sighed softly and said: "When the world sees that we were born into the royal family, they think that we are the best among people because we can get wind and rain."
"But I don't know that as a royal family, you are often unable to control yourself. You will never have freedom in your life."
"I spent the first half of my life trapped in a deep palace, and it was rare to find freedom. This time I came to the First City, but I vaguely tasted the taste of freedom."
Ning Guzhou could hear the bitterness in the third prince's words, but he didn't believe it entirely.
It is difficult for the prince of Dayan, even the most generous and honest prince, to tell the truth.
The third prince glanced at him, smiled slightly, and said nothing more.
They grew up in such an environment, and their defense against people is almost instinctive.
After the dinner, Su Jue sent guards to escort the third prince back to the inn.
However, he did not ride in the carriage, but walked leisurely on the way back to the inn.
The sky is very beautiful tonight, there is no wind, there is a moon, and there are stars.
Not far away, there is a flower of arborescens in full bloom, exuding a refreshing fragrance.
The lanterns on the roadside lit up, illuminating the whole city with the smoke of human beings.
Because Ning Changping and Su Letian were about to get married, the whole city was filled with joy.
It's late tonight, but there are still people walking in twos and threes on the road, mostly young men and women.
The folk customs in the First City are open, and young men and women hold arms and go out at night without any intention of shying away from others.
When the third prince passed by the alley, he heard something moving inside. He glanced inside and saw a man and woman who were inseparably close to each other.
Third Prince: "..."
He was a little embarrassed, but the man and woman were kissing each other so unconsciously that they didn't notice his presence at all.
He chuckled lightly.
After he came out of Dadong's capital, the further he went, the more relaxed his overall condition became.
The huge rocks that were weighing on my heart were gradually put down, and looking at the joy in the city, my whole body was filled with joy.
