Seeing Ning Guzhou approaching, she hurriedly stretched out her hand to block him: "But Your Majesty, your injury is not healed yet!"
Ning Guzhou raised his sword eyebrows slightly: "I feel that I am better."
Tang Miao became anxious: "This is not what the prince thinks. I am a doctor, so I think..."
Ning Guzhou lowered his head and blocked her chattering mouth.
Tang Miao felt like crying but couldn't find any tears. This man hadn't recovered from his injuries yet, so he just wouldn't stop!
After she returned to the capital, she had to go back to the Imperial College to attend classes.
Early the next morning, Ning Changping called her outside.
Tang Miaoxin got up quickly. Ning Guzhou had half a month's leave in Jingzhao Mansion, and he didn't need to be on duty today.
When he was woken up, he held his head with one hand and watched her wash.
She felt uncomfortable being looked at by him, but she pretended not to notice.
When she was ready to go out, she suddenly walked over to the bed, pushed him down on the bed, kissed him, and then turned around and ran away.
Ning Guzhou: "..."
When Tang Miaoxin reached the door, she stuck her head out again and smiled at him: "My lord, you look more and more like a male vixen now!"
After saying that, she opened the door and followed Ning Changping to the Imperial College.
The way he looked at her lazily with his head propped up just now was too lethal.
If she didn't kiss him before leaving, she thought she might miss him for a day.
Ning Guzhou's originally slightly curved lips curled up to the base of his ears.
After she left, he got up too.
Before he had finished washing, Lin Rufeng came. He smiled and said, "Congratulations to the prince and the princess for their relationship."
After Mo Li came back last night, he took Lin Rufeng and talked about it for half the night.
So Lin Rufeng now knew everything about what happened in the palace.
Ning Guzhou glanced at him: "Mo Li has such a big mouth!"
Lin Rufeng smiled cheerfully: "Although this autumn hunt is a bit more dangerous, it is a good thing for the prince."
"On one hand, the relationship between the prince and the princess is stable, and on the other hand, the prince's leg is broken. Even if the emperor favors him, he cannot help the cripple to ascend to the throne."
"Although the prince suffered a little from this autumn hunt, he was the biggest winner."
A few days ago, he received news that Ning Guzhou was seriously injured. He was so worried that he didn't sleep well for several days.
He was relieved when Ning Guzhou and Tang Miaoxin returned safely.
Ning Guzhou's eyes were cold: "This time during the Qiu Hunt, my father used the private seal as bait to test the reactions of the princes."
"My eighth brother was killed in the hunting ground, the prince broke his leg, and I was injured, but my father did not punish anyone. Do you know the reason?"
Lin Rufeng thought for a while and then replied: "There are too many princes involved, so the law cannot hold everyone accountable!"
Ning Guzhou shook his head: "It's not that the law doesn't punish everyone, it's the survival of the fittest."
"My father wants to find the best and most ruthless person among us brothers to inherit the throne."
"He only wants that heir. He doesn't care whether the other princes live or die."
Lin Rufeng was shocked: "How could this happen?"
He would never doubt Ning Guzhou's judgment, and this judgment was extremely cold-blooded.
Ning Guzhou breathed out softly: "Are you trying to say that even if tiger poison does not eat its children, why is my father so cruel?"
Lin Rufeng nodded, and Ning Guzhou's eyes were deep: "There has never been a true family relationship among the royal family."
"My father is in his prime, and the princes have grown up. Although this fight for relegation has just begun, it is already extremely cruel."
"I have always planned to take my mother and concubine and Chang Ping to leave the capital next year and go to the fiefdom. In this situation, I am afraid that my father will not let us leave."
Lin Rufeng's brows furrowed into a frown: "Why?"
Ning Guzhou replied: "He will not let us leave before he has decided who to pass the throne to."
"I suspect that he knows every move of the princes in the capital, and he has never thought that I am a cruel mediocrity."
"This matter is an opportunity for me, but it is even more dangerous."
Lin Rufeng was sweating all over her back when she heard his analysis: "Then what is the prince's plan?"
This means that Emperor Cheng Ming has been controlling everything in the capital. He did not expose Ning Guzhou before just because Ning Guzhou was under his control.
Ning Guzhou replied: "According to the original plan, we will try our best to leave the capital if we can."
Lin Rufeng's eyes were a little worried, but Ning Guzhou stopped discussing the issue and said quietly: "I will go to the palace today to meet my mother and concubine."
The news of his injury reached Concubine Yu. With her temperament, she was probably extremely worried these days.
The current situation in the capital is very chaotic. No matter how smart Ning Guzhou is, he cannot know what will happen in the future.
Not to mention, there is Emperor Cheng Ming's huge hands stirring up the situation in the capital. Now he is just a chess piece.
Lin Rufeng nodded: "Concubine Yu sent someone yesterday to ask if the prince is coming back. The prince should indeed go to the palace to appease her heart."
He originally thought that Ning Zhiyuan's broken leg this time would be a good thing for Ning Guzhou, but now it seems that he thought too simply.
When Ning Guzhou entered the palace, Concubine Yu was sitting in the courtyard in a daze.
Ning Guzhou called her: "Mother Concubine."
Yu Bin turned to look at him and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was fine: "It'll be good if you come back safely."
Ning Guzhou said softly: "My son is unfilial, which makes my mother and concubine worried."
Yu Bin said warmly: "You are the best son in the world. If it hadn't been for you these years, Changping and I would have long..."
She stopped herself at this point, looked at him and said, "I heard Chang Ping talk about what happened in the hunting ground."
"The prince has regarded you as a thorn in his side since he was a child. He is lame this time. I'm afraid he will go even crazier. You must be careful!"
Ning Guzhou's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly: "I have never been afraid of him. I am only worried about my mother and concubine. The palace is complicated, and my mother and concubine must be careful."
Because Yu Concubine was in the palace, Ning Guzhou would tie his hands and feet when doing many things, fearing to implicate her.
The concubine knew all these things, and she sighed softly: "In the final analysis, it is the mother and concubine who has caused you trouble."
"My mother and concubine all know how miserable you have been over the past few years."
Ning Guzhou said solemnly: "Mom, please don't say anything harmful to me in the future. Your son's life was given by you, so I will naturally protect you."
Yu Bin's eyes were slightly red. She quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said softly: "Okay, okay, no more!"
"You and Miaoxin have been married for some time. Tell the truth to your mother and concubine. How is your relationship between the two of you?"
When Ning Guzhou mentioned Tang Miaoxin, his eyes became a little gentle: "Miaoxin is very good, and I have a very good relationship with her."
Concubine Yu laughed when she saw his look. She knew her son very well.
He is usually cold and cold, but this is the first time that he shows a gentle expression just by mentioning a person's name.
