Tang Miaoxin sat beside Ning Guzhou's bed and said with a smile: "Your Majesty was quite bored when he was recuperating. With me here, I won't make you feel bored at all."
Ning Guzhou: "..."
It's true that you won't be bored when she's around, you'll just be pissed off by her!
About half an hour later, Wang Dequan sent over all the night pearls and bear paws.
Tang Miaoxin picked out four bear paws from the non-poisoned bear, and asked Li Li to dig a hole for the rest and bury them all.
Ning Guyzhou asked her: "How do you know which bear these bear paws belong to?"
Tang Miaoxin smiled: "I have made a mark on the bear's paw before. Look, does the mark look good?"
Ning Guzhou took a closer look and saw that she had carved a small heart shape on the bear's paw with a knife. This shape was hidden under the hair and could not be seen without looking carefully.
He didn't know what to say for a moment. The situation was so urgent, but she was still in the mood to mark the bear's paw!
He didn't know whether to call her big-hearted or heartless.
Mo Li presented the Night Pearl to Ning Guzhou, and Ning Guzhou changed hands and gave the Night Pearl to Ning Changping.
The little girl was very happy at first when she held the luminous pearl. Later, when she thought that Ning Guzhou had sacrificed her life for this luminous pearl, she became less happy.
She couldn't understand the twists and turns, but she wasn't stupid either.
Since Tang Miaoxin treated her, her mind has become clearer day by day, and she has a deeper understanding of the situation between herself and Ning Guzhou.
At this time, Ning Guzhou won the first place in the autumn hunt, but Emperor Cheng Ming did not give him a private seal, but only gave him a luminous pearl. The news had spread throughout the palace.
Ning Zhiyuan and all the princes breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, Ning Guzhou was the prince that Emperor Cheng Ming disliked the most.
No matter how well Ning Guzhou did or how outstanding he was, Emperor Cheng Ming would never give him the throne.
Because of this incident, not many people paid attention to the fact that the queen was punished by Emperor Cheng Ming.
Now the princes and ministers are more concerned about whether Emperor Cheng Ming wants to depose the crown prince, and whether Ning Zhiyuan's leg will be lame.
When Emperor Cheng Ming heard these developments reported by Wang Dequan, he raised his eyebrows slightly and did not comment on these.
He played with the private seal in his hand and murmured: "This might not be a bad idea!"
Wang Dequan listened to Emperor Cheng Ming's words below, his head bowed even more.
Others didn't know that Emperor Cheng Ming sent a private seal to Ning Guzhou today, but he saw it with his own eyes.
He had been following Emperor Cheng Ming for many years, and he vaguely noticed something.
And he didn't dare to reveal a word of the speculations in his heart.
Because he knew that if he revealed any information, he would die immediately!
All the princes killed each other, one died and two were seriously injured, so Emperor Cheng Ming no longer had the interest in hunting.
After noon, Emperor Chengming announced that he would return to Beijing early tomorrow morning.
In the past, the autumn hunt lasted about seven days, but it was the first time in history that we returned in such a short time.
Su Jue and Su Letian saw such a lively event, and the uncle and nephew also had the latest evaluation of Emperor Cheng Ming:
This is a ruthless emperor.
In the afternoon, Emperor Chengming asked Su Jue to play chess with him, and Su Jue said goodbye directly to Emperor Chengming.
Emperor Cheng Ming glanced at him and said, "I'm going to let you laugh this time."
Su Jue said very sincerely: "Such a disaster happened in the hunting ground, please express your condolences, Your Majesty!"
He was talking about the eighth prince falling off a cliff and dying.
Emperor Cheng Ming's eyes were deep: "In addition to being extremely capable, a true emperor also requires good luck."
"What happened to Lao Ba was because he was weak and unlucky, and the royal family doesn't need weak people."
After the eighth prince's body was found, Emperor Chengming sent someone to return it to the capital.
The eighth prince has not yet reached the crown this year. According to the rules, if he dies at such an early age, he cannot be buried in the imperial mausoleum, nor can he be buried in a grand ceremony.
Su Jue raised his eyebrows lightly. He was not interested in Dayan's internal affairs, but he felt a chill on his back.
Emperor Cheng Ming's appearance was completely unlike that of a father whose son had just died. He was almost cold-blooded.
He is a good monarch, but not a qualified father.
Su Jue said quietly: "The emperor seems to be a little dissatisfied with all the princes?"
Emperor Chengming didn't answer and asked instead: "City Master Su Er has been in the capital for a while, and he has spent a lot of time observing these princes of mine."
"Which one of my princes do you think is more suitable to inherit the throne?"
Su Jue thinks Emperor Cheng Ming is sick!
Which prince does Emperor Chengming want to pass his throne to? What nonsense?
Su Jue said with a smile on her face: "Your Majesty is really good at joking. It's not my turn to get involved in this matter, right?"
Emperor Chengming also laughed: "The first city stands between the six countries with the power of one city."
"Although it has been very stable over the years, after all, the land is sparsely populated and although the strength is strong, it is not a long-term solution after all."
"Dayan intends to have a good relationship with the First City, and I also hope that my successor will have a good relationship with the First City."
Su Jue raised her eyebrows slightly: "Although the First City is sparsely populated, it has not been afraid of anyone in these years."
"Whoever wants to annex the First City must show some strength. Your Majesty, are you right?"
Emperor Cheng Ming looked at him and said: "Second City Lord Su misunderstood what I meant. I never thought about annexing the First City, I just wanted to have good relations with the First City."
Su Jue looked back at him and said: "If the emperor really wants to have good relations with the First City, there is no need to test me with the title of Crown Prince of Dayan."
"To put it bluntly, even if all your princes of Dayan die in the hunting ground this time, it has nothing to do with the First City."
Their eyes met, not giving in an inch.
Then the two of them laughed together, and Emperor Cheng Ming smiled and said: "Second City Master Su misunderstood what I meant."
Su Jue also smiled and said: "The words just spoken were incomprehensible, please don't blame me, Your Majesty!"
This matter is considered a turning point.
After Su Jue left, Emperor Cheng Ming sneered: "Does he really think that his first city is as stable as Mount Tai?"
"If the first city didn't have a natural barrier as a barrier, I'm afraid the city would have been destroyed long ago and everyone would have died!"
Wang Dequan shrank his neck and did not dare to interrupt at all.
Emperor Chengming was an ambitious emperor, and the location of the First City was too special, and he wanted it very much.
But he also knew that the First City was not easy to mess with, and there were natural dangers as a barrier. Even if he wanted to attack the First City, he had to have a comprehensive plan.
After Su Jue left, she cursed in her mind: "Does the Dog Emperor really think that the First City is afraid of Dayan?"
"You want to use Dayan's position as the future emperor as bait to lure First City into cooperating with him? Bah!"
"If the time comes, the First City will be the first to destroy Dayan!"
After he cursed in his heart, he felt a little worried. Tang Miaoxin had been staying in Dayan, and he was afraid that the First City would really be kidnapped by the Dog Emperor.
No, he had to find a way to bring Tang Miaoxin back to the First City as soon as possible.
He was fortunate that although the princes were fiercely vying for the throne, Emperor Cheng Ming was now in his prime and would still have a long time to abdicate.
