Emperor Cheng Ming could vaguely see Ning Guzhou's outline, and he didn't know if it was his fault. For the first time, he felt that Ning Guzhou's outline looked very much like Yu Bin.
He suddenly remembered the first time he met his concubine: her eyebrows were full of smiles, and she had two dimples when she smiled. She was a very cute girl.
At that time, he had the idea of taking her as his own.
Although he got her later, the relationship between the two was not what he expected because Yu Bin did not love him.
When Emperor Cheng Ming became excited, he coughed uncontrollably.
Li Shiying hurried over to cheer him up. He waved his hand gently, turned to look at Ning Guzhou and said, "Do you hate me so much?"
Ning Guzhou replied: "Only those who care about someone will hate someone. People like you don't deserve my care at all."
"I have no hatred for you, I just have murderous intention. Now I just want to kill you to avenge my mother and concubine."
Emperor Chengming was stunned again, looked behind him and asked: "Changping didn't come back with you?"
Ning Guzhou said coldly: "Chang Ping said he was afraid that he would make you sick and want to vomit, so he would not make trouble for himself."
Emperor Chengming: "..."
Among his children, the only ones he cared about most were Ning Guzhou and Ning Changping.
Ning Guzhou has outstanding abilities, but Ning Changping is his only daughter, and her status in his heart is different from that of the other princes.
Emperor Chengming felt that he might be a little cruel to his son, but he was very kind to Ning Changping.
There was some disappointment in his eyes: "Chang Ping is dissatisfied with me, and it's all because of your instigation."
Ning Guzhou was too lazy to argue with him, but Tang Miaoxin would not tolerate him: "If saying this will make you feel better, just say it."
"But Changping won't agree with your statement. She is a smart girl who can distinguish things in this world by herself."
"If by good you mean being kind to the people who beat her stupid, killed her mother-in-law, and persecuted her brother, she should agree."
Emperor Cheng Ming slapped his hand heavily on the chair: "I am talking to my son, you are an outsider and have no right to interrupt!"
Tang Miaoxin chuckled: "Wow, you are so majestic! I am so scared!"
"If you could still sit in the Golden Mirror Hall and decide my life or death, I might be a little afraid of you."
"But now you are just a subjugated king who has lost everything. Even if I want to be afraid of you, I really can't."
Emperor Chengming said coldly: "The king of the country's subjugation? Even if Gu Zhou ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, the country will still be named Ning."
"As long as this country is still named Ning, it will still be the country of Dayan. How can I be the king of subjugation?"
Tang Miaoxin looked at him with some pity and said, "Guzhou wants to use Dayan's power as a betrothal to marry me. I think you have heard about it."
"After he conquers Dayan's empire, he will give it to me as a betrothal gift."
"Since Dayan's empire has become my humble gift, it is natural for him to have my last name."
"When the time comes, Dayan will be subordinated to Gui Qian, and the entire country of Dayan will become Gui Qian's country."
She knew what Emperor Cheng Ming cared about most.
She hated Emperor Cheng Ming's face, so when he spoke, she stabbed Emperor Cheng Ming's heart with a knife.
Sure enough, Emperor Cheng Ming's face, which had always been calm and calm just now, was no longer calm.
He looked at Ning Guzhou in shock and said, "Are you really going to use Dayan's wealth as a betrothal to marry her?"
Ning Guzhou answered very briefly: "Yes."
Emperor Chengming became angry instantly. He stood up tremblingly and said, "Are you crazy?"
"If you really do such a thing, how can you live up to your ancestors?"
He had heard before that Ning Guzhou wanted to marry Tang Miaoxin with Dayan Jiangshan, but he didn't take it too seriously.
Even though he knew that Tang Miaoxin had some differences in Ning Guzhou's heart, the two had some feelings for each other.
But he has always felt that feelings are the most fickle things in the world.
Moreover, things like feelings will become fragile when encountering power.
He felt that after Ning Guzhou had been the King of Qin for many years, he had experienced the joy of power and would never do such a thing again.
In other words, he still has some hope in his heart, hoping that Ning Guzhou will annex Guiqian when the time comes.
But now they told him that Ning Guzhou really wanted to marry Tang Miaoxin using Dayan's wealth as a betrothal, which was completely different from what he expected.
Back then, he and Tang Jiuge fought to the death, and he used all his tricks to win.
For him, Dayan's rise to power was not easy.
How could he be willing to give away such a hard-earned country by Ning Guzhou so easily?
Wouldn't acting like this make him look like a clown, working hard in vain and finally getting married?
Ning Guzhou looked at him coldly: "I don't want the surname Ning at all."
"I will appear here today, on the one hand, to avenge my mother and concubine, and on the other hand, to fulfill my original promise."
"This Dayan's empire may be very important in your eyes, but in my heart, it is just a valuable betrothal gift."
When he heard what Emperor Cheng Ming said, he felt that this man was really ridiculous.
Emperor Chengming was domineering and self-righteous. He always used his own standards to measure people and things in the world.
He wants to control everything, but everything in this world is beyond his control.
Li Shiying looked at the excited Emperor Cheng Ming, and he sighed longly in his heart.
Over the years, he had served Emperor Cheng Ming by his side, and he knew very well what Emperor Cheng Ming was thinking.
Emperor Chengming has always been obsessed with power. He knew that he was not in good health and could not control the entire Yan Dynasty, so he wanted to pass the throne.
The princes in the capital all have their own strengths and weaknesses and different temperaments, and among them there are also some very outstanding sons for ordinary people.
But such excellence is not worth mentioning in front of a gem like Ning Guzhou.
It is precisely because of this that Emperor Cheng Ming always wanted to pass the throne to Ning Guzhou.
So he used some methods to force Ning Guzhou to return to the capital as soon as possible.
But no matter what method he used to force Ning Guzhou to come back, he had actually lost the ability to force Ning Guzhou to come back when his concubine died.
The things that he cared about could never enter Ning Guzhou's eyes.
Emperor Chengming knew these things, but he didn't know enough.
Over the years, Emperor Cheng Ming has actually been very conflicted:
He wanted to hand over the world to Ning Guzhou, and hoped that Dayan's world would reach a new height under Ning Guzhou's governance.
He also hoped that Ning Guzhou would destroy Zhao and Qi, and then annex Gui Qian and the First City, unify the six countries and one city, achieve unparalleled achievements, and create unprecedented glory!
