Chapter 1644 You have to be willing even if you don’t want to
Emperor Chengming paused for a moment and then said: "After all, when the battlefield was cleared, his body was not found."
Cheng Lixue sighed softly: "Although what you said makes sense, we have never heard any news about him in so many years."
"The fire was so big back then, it's not impossible that he was burned to ashes."
Emperor Chengming looked at him and said: "You also said that it is only possible."
"For me, I have to eliminate all possibilities. After all, only he can draw that Thousand Planes Diagram."
"With his ability, if he causes trouble, it will be difficult to deal with it, so I will completely eliminate that possibility!"
In fact, a few years ago, Emperor Cheng Ming also thought that Tang Miaoxin's biological father was dead. Last year, he accidentally obtained a Thousand Mechanics Map, and then he suspected that Tang Miaoxin's biological father was still alive.
Since last year, he has sent many people out to find Tang Miaoxin's biological father, but there has been no news.
It wasn't until this year when Tang Miaoxin married Ning Guzhou and entered the palace to pay his respects to Emperor Chengming that Emperor Chengming realized:
It turns out that Su Ling'er risked her life to leave a trace of her flesh and blood for that person.
It was precisely because he was aware of this matter that at that moment Emperor Cheng Ming had already formulated a series of trapping plans in his mind for Sha Tang Miaoxin's biological father.
Letting Tang Miaoxin attend the Imperial Academy was just the first step.
Let Cheng Lixue accept Tang Miaoxin as his disciple is the second step.
Making a name for Tang Miaoxin is the third step.
In the past few months, Emperor Chengming sent many people to spread the news about Tang Miaoxin. Outside the capital, there was no shortage of rumors about Tang Miaoxin in the six countries and cities.
To put it into perspective, Ji Mengyu only knew that Tang Miaoxin was in the capital because of Emperor Cheng Ming's propaganda.
Tang Miaoxin was a bait carefully designed by him, with the purpose of luring her biological father into taking the bait.
Emperor Cheng Ming was secretly surprised by Tang Miaoxin's ability. She looked like she was just fooling around, but she was also very organized, which was surprising.
Cheng Lixue looked at Emperor Cheng Ming who was filled with murderous intent and sighed again.
He said softly: "Have you ever thought that with his temperament, if he dares to come, he will definitely make complete preparations."
"You and I plotted against him back then, weren't you afraid that he would come back for revenge?"
Emperor Chengming sneered: "I could kill him once back then, but now I can kill him a second time!"
"Not to mention, I have the final say on Dayan now!"
After hearing Emperor Cheng Ming's words, Cheng Lixue said softly: "I will not participate in future matters."
Emperor Cheng Ming looked at him with a trace of displeasure in his eyes, and he said softly: "I betrayed him and even bullied his daughter. I have no shame to fight with him again."
Emperor Chengming laughed when he heard this statement: "It's up to you."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left. Cheng Lixue did not get up to see him off.
At this moment, Cheng Lixue felt a little uneasy. The old things that he didn't want to think about many years ago were replayed in front of his eyes:
Back then, he was still a teenager. Because he was a time traveler, he felt that he was better than ordinary people.
He was quite arrogant at that time and did not look down upon the ancients of this era.
Using the poems and articles he had memorized in his previous life, he quickly rose to prominence in the capital and gained a reputation as a talented scholar.
He thought he was invincible and met Tang Miaoxin's biological father directly.
He was a man with extremely beautiful peach blossom eyes, and his whole body exuded the nobility and elegance that can only be taught by a famous family.
With that aura, even if Cheng Lixue was a man, he would still be heartbroken when he first saw him.
At that time, Cheng Lixue was very conceited. With the fact that she had memorized many poems, she felt that she had the leading role in the script and was the best in the world.
But he was pushed to the ground and rubbed by that gentle man with his literary talent.
Cheng Lixue had never been humiliated like this before. She came back thinking only of revenge, but in the end she was taught how to behave.
Cheng Lixue had never admired anyone in her life, only that man who was as gentle as jade.
Cheng Lixue has been thinking over the years, why did she betray him at the critical moment and set up a killing trap to kill him?
Now Cheng Lixue also has the answer. In the final analysis, it is just his vanity that is causing trouble.
But after killing that gentle man, he has been living with guilt all these years.
He once thought he was invincible, but after he learned more about the world, he realized how naive his thoughts were.
When Tang Miaoxin asked him if he was her father's friend, he directly denied it.
Because he felt that he was not worthy of being his father's friend at all.
It is precisely because of this mentality that he has only been willing to guard the Imperial Academy and stay away from the court in these years.
This time, Tang Miaoxin looked down on himself.
After Emperor Cheng Ming walked out of Cheng Lixue's room, he put one hand behind his back and looked at the gloomy sky, his eyes even colder.
Wang Dequan stood behind him with a bow, not daring to express his anger.
Emperor Cheng Ming didn't know what he was thinking of, but there was a bit of disdain in his eyes.
He looked back at Cheng Lixue's house and said coldly: "Sure enough, Bai Wuyi is a scholar."
After he finished speaking, he tossed his sleeves and robe and strode away.
Tang Miaoxin had already returned to Prince Qin's Mansion.
Lin Rufeng happened to come over and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the princess for getting a first-class score in all subjects in public today!"
"You are now the most talented woman in the whole capital... Hey, didn't the prince come back with you?"
As soon as Tang Miaoxin heard this, she knew that Ning Guzhou did not return to the palace after riding away.
She was just a little angry at first, but now she became very angry.
Does this man need her coaxing all the time?
She snorted coldly. Now that Ning Guzhou was not here, she was full of anger and had no place to vent her anger.
She glared at Lin Rufeng and returned to her room angrily.
Lin Rufeng was confused. She pulled Mo Li, who was escorting her back, and asked, "What happened?"
Mo Li was nearby when the incident happened, but Mo Li, who was single since birth, couldn't figure out the twists and turns in this incident.
Li Li stretched out his hand to scratch his head: "I don't know what happened!"
Lin Rufeng glared at him: "You are following the prince and princess and you don't know what happened? Are you a pig?"
Li Qiye was angry: "Do you have to know what happened to the prince and princess if you are with them?"
"You follow the prince every day. When he and the princess quarrel, do you know the reason?"
Lin Rufeng wanted to speak, but Mo Li beat him to it: "You don't know!"
"So you are a pig, and your whole family is a pig!"
Lin Rufeng was also angry: "You're still swearing!"
Li Li rubbed his sleeves: "Not only did I scold you, I also dared to hit you! Do you want to go to the martial arts field to practice?"
Lin Rufeng: "..."
He comes from a wealthy family. Although he also practices martial arts to strengthen his body, his martial arts practice can only strengthen his body!
He followed the civil service route, and in terms of fighting, Mo Li could knock him away with one punch.
