Tang Jiuge said softly: "I'm not worried that they can't protect Miao Xin, I'm just thinking about those things back then."
"I despised Ning Jing when he bloodbathed the capital in order to eliminate dissidents and hide his identity."
"This turmoil in Great Yanjing City was essentially driven by me."
"Although I was out for revenge, I did something similar to Ning Jing. After all, I did something that I hated."
Yu Han didn't know what happened back then, so it was difficult to evaluate the similarities between the two events.
He only talked about what happened this time: "Ning Jing raising a son is like raising a gu. No matter which prince ascends the throne, there will never be peace."
"Because they have their own disciples and old friends to support them, the winning side will definitely carry out a purge. The Lord just brought this matter forward."
Tang Jiuge sighed quietly: "Yes, Ning Jing doesn't care about his son at all, and his son won't be gentle when he attacks him."
"He thought that everything he had was under his control. Unfortunately, even gods have a hard time controlling people's hearts, let alone him?"
When he said this, he couldn't help but cough a few times.
Yu Han said with some worry: "Master, the lady said that your body needs a good rest. You should go back to your room and rest!"
Tang Jiuge nodded lightly, and while sitting on the bed, he asked Yu Han again: "Which prince do you think will win this time?"
Yu Han replied: "If Ning Guzhou has the intention to ascend the throne and become emperor, then he should be the winner this time."
"After all, among the princes of Dayan, he is the most outstanding."
Tang Jiuge shook his head slightly and said: "Although he is the best, he may not be the one who can win."
Yu Han looked at him with some confusion.
He let out a breath and said, "Because Ning Jing hates me to the core, how can I let my daughter become the queen and let my grandson inherit the throne?"
"No matter how fully prepared Ning Guzhou is for this matter, he cannot be more prepared than Ning Jing. Ning Jing is the real operator of this matter."
"And Ning Jing is the emperor, and he has many more people at his disposal than Ning Guzhou. If Ning Guzhou doesn't kill Miao Xin this time, he will definitely die."
If Ning Guzhou ascends the throne, Ning Guzhou's feelings for Tang Miaoxin will definitely make her the queen and the child she gives birth to will be the heir apparent.
This is something that Emperor Cheng Ming would never allow to happen.
So Ning Guzhou had to make a choice between the throne and Tang Miaoxin. This was the real test he gave Ning Guzhou.
He didn't know what Ning Guzhou would choose, but no matter what he chose, this matter could be settled.
Although Tang Jiuge felt sorry for Tang Miaoxin, he also knew that this matter must be settled.
If Ning Guzhou chooses Tang Miaoxin in the end, then he will win the world of Dayan for Ning Guzhou, which will make Ning Jing sick to death.
If Ning Guzhou chooses the throne in the end, then Tang Miaoxin will return to him, and he will make her happy and healthy for the rest of her life, and will no longer interfere with the fight between him and Ning Jing.
Yu Han said with some worry: "If this happens, the young lady may be in danger."
Tang Jiuge asked calmly: "Do you think Ning Guzhou will choose the throne?"
Yu Han thought for a while and then said: "I'm afraid no man in this world can refuse such authority."
Tang Jiuge laughed when he heard this: "Yes, if this is really the case, it would be a good thing for me."
When he said this, his eyes turned cold: "It's better that Ning Guzhou doesn't hurt Miao Xin. If he dares to hurt Miao Xin even a hair, he will die without a burial place!"
Yu Han was stunned for a moment, knowing that Tang Jiuge must have other arrangements in Dayan's capital.
Tang Miaoxin will not be in too much danger, but Ning Guzhou is hard to say.
Calculating it this way, Ning Guzhou seems a bit pitiful.
However, if Ning Guzhou can pass this ultimate test this time, the future life will be easier.
But this test is definitely hellish. Can Ning Guzhou pass it?
He whispered: "If this is the case, the young lady can always be by the Lord's side."
The smile in Tang Jiuge's peach blossom eyes became stronger: "Yes, when she comes back to dive, I can give her another big gift."
The master and servant smiled at each other.
Tang Miaoxin waited for Ning Guzhou at Shilipo until dawn but did not wait for him to come.
The fire in the capital has been burning all night and has not stopped yet.
Mo Li sent several waves of people to inquire about the news, and some came back. They only heard about the death of Ning Zhiyuan, but no news about Ning Guzhou.
It seemed that after Ning Guzhou entered the palace, contact was completely cut off.
Tang Miaoxin walked back and forth in the ruined temple in Shilipo at first. Later, she no longer had the strength to walk and rested against the wall.
It was already a bit cold in late autumn, but no one dared to light a fire inside for fear of attracting danger.
Su Letian would initially comfort Tang Miaoxin with a few words, but later on, he was too lazy to comfort him:
Anyway, when things got to this point, if Ning Guzhou didn't show up, it would be useless to comfort him.
He even felt in his heart that Ning Guzhou was probably dead.
Although he had never liked Ning Guyzhou very much, and he had longed for Ning Guyzhou's death more than once, but when Ning Guyzhou really died, he felt a little pity.
Mo Li was much more energetic than Tang Miaoxin, and was always watching at the door, wary of anyone approaching.
From the time they arrived at Shilipo, several waves of people passed by here:
Some came to inquire about the news, some fled, and even a fairly large army passed by.
They didn't stop at Shilipo and went straight to the capital.
At the beginning of the hour, the sun came out, and the leaves of the trees outside the ruined temple were covered with dewdrops, reflecting the brilliance of the sun, like a lover's tears.
Mo Li, who went out to inquire about the news, hurriedly walked in and said, "I just received the news. Each of the four city gates sent a team of a thousand people to look for people."
"Looking at his posture, he is probably here to see the princess."
Su Letian stood up and said: "We can't wait any longer and must leave immediately."
Tang Miaoxin glanced in the direction of the capital, with a somewhat complicated look in her eyes.
She knew that when someone went out to look for someone, it meant that the situation in Beijing was basically stable.
And the person who controls the situation in the capital will definitely not be Ning Guzhou.
Because if Ning Guzhou controlled the situation in the capital, he would definitely send someone to Shilipo to pick her up instead of opening the city gates on all sides and looking for someone with great fanfare.
She knew what Su Letian said was right, they had to leave now.
But she didn't believe that something had really happened to Ning Guzhou, so she whispered: "Brother, I want to go back to find Ning Guzhou."
"You're crazy!" Su Letian glared at her and said, "In this situation, going to the capital is like throwing yourself into a trap!"
"I know your disguise skills are very good, but now that the capital is under strict investigation, no matter how good your disguise skills are, people will find out!"
Tang Miaoxin knew that what Su Letian said was the truth, but she was unwilling to let her leave like this.
Li Qiye felt a little tangled in his heart, but he still walked up to Tang Miaoxin and said, "The prince asked the princess to wait for her son at Shilipo. If he doesn't come, let me give this to you."
