Wen Linxia was slapped in the face by Mo Li today and was already very upset. He was just thinking about giving eye drops to Tang Miaoxin and his party when he heard Emperor Qi Xuan's order.
He immediately understood that Emperor Qi Xuan did not believe Tang Miaoxin's words and wanted someone to verify it.
He found someone who was good at qinggong and was good at lurking to find out the news and said, "Your Majesty, Tang Miaoxin is too arrogant!"
Emperor Qi Xuan said quietly: "She has the ability to be arrogant."
Wen Linxia said solemnly: "That being said, if she continues to be left like this, she will become a disaster sooner or later."
Emperor Qi Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly: "After I kill Zuo Xingzhi, dealing with her will be as easy as crushing an ant."
Wen Linxia heard the murderous intent in Emperor Qi Xuan's words, and he felt relieved.
The guards sent by Emperor Qi Xuan changed their clothes and sneaked into Tang Miaoxin's house silently.
Tang Miaoxin had already gone with Ning Guzhou to the pharmacy where she made medicine.
After the two of them entered, Ning Guzhou glanced at a certain corner, and then glanced at Tang Miaoxin. She immediately understood and winked at him.
Ning Guzhou asked her: "Are you really planning to help Zuo Xingzhi treat his illness?"
Tang Miaoxin nodded: "Although he has a terminal illness, other doctors can't cure his disease."
"But he has given enough money, and today he has sent the medicinal materials needed to treat the disease. I will try my best to cure him."
Ning Guzhou's voice seemed a little displeased: "Aren't you afraid that after you cure him, he will immediately turn against you?"
"Afraid!" Tang Miaoxin replied: "But he offered too much money and I couldn't refuse."
Ning Guzhou felt a little resentful and said: "You only think about making money every day, but sooner or later you will be dragged down by money."
Tang Miaoxin said disapprovingly: "Being dragged down by money is also a happy thing."
"Besides, although Zuo Xingzhi is not a good person, we still have Emperor Qi Xuan to check and balance him, so we cannot suffer any loss."
Ning Guzhou's eyebrows slightly twisted: "Emperor Qi Xuan is not a light-saving lamp. He came here today to make it clear that he is here to test your reality."
"I know." Tang Miaoxin said with a smile: "So I gave him some information and let him guess the rest."
"As for how many guesses he can make, it has nothing to do with me."
While she was talking, she used a spoon to scoop out some orange-yellow liquid from the large vat next to her.
Ning Guzhou looked like he didn't know what to do with her, and sighed softly: "You, you are always so non-stop."
Tang Miaoxin chuckled, put her nose to the spoon, and smelled it carefully.
Ning Guzhou asked: "How?"
Tang Miaoxin replied: "It's almost done. I'll boil the medicine Zuo Xingzhi sent over later and mix it with these to make pills."
"After this pill is prepared, it will not only cure Zuo Xingzhi's disease, but with a few adjustments, it will be able to make a pill that can cure all diseases."
"After the pill is made, sell it to the stupid people in Qi State. Anyway, they are stupid and have a lot of money. If you don't make money, you won't make any money."
Ning Guzhou looked at Tang Miaoxin dotingly and said, "Just do as you say!"
The couple then began to discuss how much a pill should be sold for. Basically, whatever Tang Miaoxin said, Ning Guzhou agreed.
The guards who came to inquire for information immediately withdrew as they saw that there would be no useful information if they waited any longer and there was a risk of being exposed.
As soon as he left, Ning Guzhou grabbed Tang Miaoxin's hand and said, "He's gone."
Tang Miaoxin had always known that Emperor Qi Xuan was extremely suspicious. Because of Qi Jianlan's betrayal, he no longer trusted anyone.
He only believes what he sees and hears, and he will find ways to verify key information again.
So after he left, Tang Miaoxin expected that he would send someone over again to inquire about the news.
She felt that such an opportunity could not be wasted, so she took Ning Guzhou to accompany her in such a play.
Tang Miaoxin clicked her tongue twice: "Do you think he will believe that I am really giving Zuo Xingzhi medicine?"
"He will definitely believe it." Ning Guzhou replied: "Compared to what you said to him today, the news he overheard is obviously more credible."
Ning Guzhou is very familiar with this kind of psychology.
Emperor Cheng Ming also acted in this way. No matter what others said, he would not believe it. He only believed what he himself sent people to investigate.
Tang Miaoxin curled her lips slightly and said, "Listening to this, they are really pitiful."
Ning Guzhou's eyes were cold: "The throne is stained with blood. They are either traitors themselves or have experienced betrayal."
"No matter what the reason is, they are destined not to trust anyone easily in this life."
Tang Miaoxin raised her eyebrows slightly. She felt a bit of toothache when she thought about her status as the late queen.
It will definitely be handed over to her after returning to hiding. Just thinking about how many political affairs she will have to take care of in the future will make her panic.
She sighed: "I don't know what's so good about the throne. They all want to get it."
She had said similar things to Ning Guzhou several times, and every time she said she couldn't understand their brain circuits.
Ning Guzhou smiled, and Tang Miaoxin asked him again: "Are you interested in being the emperor?"
Ning Guzhou said softly: "I'm not interested, but if I can only protect the people around me by being an emperor and having the ultimate rights, I would also be willing to do it."
Tang Miaoxin gave him a thumbs up, looked at him very sincerely and said, "When you return to Guiqian, you must find a way to convince my father."
"No, persuasion alone is not enough. You have to make him fully recognize you and make him think that you are his biological son."
Ning Guzhou's eyebrows skipped a beat. Sure enough, her next sentence was: "It's best to make him willingly pass the throne to you."
Ning Guzhou: "..."
He said very melancholy: "I don't want to be your father's biological son, I just want to be your father's son-in-law."
"I see that your father doesn't like me very much, so I'm grateful to God that I can get him to relent and marry you to me."
The more he knew about Tang Jiuge, the more he felt that his father-in-law was unfathomable.
Tang Miaoxin rarely saw Ning Guzhou showing such an expression, so she stood on tiptoes and kissed him: "Don't be afraid!"
"Let's grab more things from Qi. If you prepare a generous betrothal gift, my father will definitely agree after seeing your sincerity."
Ning Guzhou just smiled when he heard her words.
She is greedy for money, but Tang Jiuge is not.
Not to mention that Tang Jiuge is the king of a country. What kind of good things has he not seen?
Even if Ning Guzhou emptied all the treasury of Qi State, he might not be able to make Tang Jiuge look sideways.
For Tang Jiuge, there may be nothing more precious than Tang Miaoxin.
However, money can also represent sincerity in disguise, so the more the better.
After the guard left, he immediately went to report to Emperor Xuan of Qi.
After hearing what the guard said, Emperor Qi Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
