It has never been an easy thing for Ning Guzhou to grow up safely, and to keep Ning Changping and his concubines safe all these years.
Tang Miaoxin said softly: "If only the prince had known me when he was first poisoned, I would have helped you detoxify, and you wouldn't have to suffer those sins."
He would not have developed such a withdrawn, cold, arrogant and difficult character as he is now.
Ning Guzhou glanced at her: "I am several years older than you. You were still young when you were poisoned. You were probably still playing in the mud in the fields, right?"
Tang Miaoxin: "..."
She really thinks he is a conversation stopper!
It is quite romantic to talk about such a sentimental topic.
He is good at destroying the whole atmosphere with just one sentence.
She hummed softly: "I am a genius in studying medicine. I have learned medical skills since I was a child!"
"Even if I was still playing in the mud in the fields, I could still cure you!"
Ning Guzhou chuckled lightly: "That's right! You're a genius who studies medicine, do you still need my help with this question?"
Tang Miaoxin said decisively: "Yes!"
Ning Guzhou was a little funny when he saw her look, so he picked up his pen and continued to help her with the questions.
Tang Miaoxin has no ambitions in studying, as long as she can get a C grade or above.
Ning Guzhou asked her: "Do you want to get an A in the exam tomorrow?"
Tang Miaoxin shook her head: "I am absent from class every day. If I get an A grade, how can it be embarrassing for those students who study hard every day?"
"It's enough for me to be a second-class person and not be expelled from the Imperial College, and not to give the Queen any excuse to embarrass me."
In this matter, she has a very clear positioning of herself.
In the eyes of everyone, she is just a village girl who came from the countryside. She only went to school for a few years. It would be strange for her to take the A-level exam.
Ning Guzhou was still a little worried that she was too competitive and insisted on getting an A-level exam, which would cause trouble for herself.
When Ning Guzhou was helping her with the test papers, she ran to give him medicine.
With the few herbs she collected from the Imperial College today, she could improve the potency of the medicine given to Ning Guzhou to a higher level.
After Ning Guzhou finished the questions, Tang Miaoxin started to memorize them.
Although her memory is not as perverted as Ning Guzhou's, it is not bad either.
Although the amount of questions on the test paper is not small, it is not stressful for her to memorize it to a second-class level in one night.
She feels that her current behavior is very consistent with the standard of "sharpening your sword before the battle, if you are not happy, you will lose it".
After she finished her work, it was already midnight.
She yawned, climbed into bed, hugged Ning Guzhou and planned to sleep, but her sharp eyes saw the private seal on the bedside table, which scared away her drowsiness.
She hurriedly took it over and saw that it was indeed the private seal of Emperor Cheng Ming. She widened her eyes and asked, "What's going on?"
Ning Guzhou briefly talked about entering the palace today. She sat up straight and said, "Father, are you going to kill you?"
Regarding the private seal, they had already discussed it when they were in the palace last time.
However, the two of them had not yet settled in love at that time, so Tang Miaoxin did not say much.
Her mentality now is different from that then, and she is particularly sensitive when seeing this thing.
In addition, she guessed today that Emperor Cheng Ming used her as bait to lure her biological father out. When she saw this private seal, she felt that Emperor Cheng Ming was targeting them.
Ning Guzhou's eyes also deepened: "He doesn't necessarily want my life, but he wants to use my hand to make the water in Beijing more muddy."
Tang Miaoxin cursed: "I have never seen a father like him!"
"Other people's father treats his own son with all kinds of treasures, but he changes his ways to kill his own son. He is simply an old pervert!"
The corners of Ning Guzhou's mouth twitched. Looking at the world, she might be the only one who dared to scold Emperor Ming like this.
He hugged her gently and said, "You don't have to worry too much. No matter how I keep a low profile these years, I will one day stand up."
"Now it's just a matter of facing these things a little earlier, it's not a big deal."
Tang Miaoxin looked into his eyes and asked, "Do you really want to be the emperor?"
Ning Guzhou had an intuition at this moment that if he told her that he wanted to be the emperor, she would leave him.
He said quietly: "I said before that I will take my concubine and Chang Ping back to the fiefdom next year."
Tang Miaoxin asked him: "After you went to the fiefdom?"
Ning Guzhou looked back at her and said, "Miaoxin, as a member of the royal family, you often have no control over yourself."
"If you are not strong, not only will you not be able to protect those around you, you may also be killed yourself."
Tang Miaoxin narrowed her eyes and sighed almost inaudibly.
She knew what he said was right, but secretly she didn't want him to ascend the throne and become emperor.
Because once he ascends the throne and becomes emperor, whether he wants it or not, there will always be several concubines in the harem, and there will also be a lot of things that need to be dealt with by him.
Her whole body felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured on her, and she suddenly woke up.
Love is beautiful, but love alone cannot withstand the changes in the future.
And love is the most unreliable thing in the world, because people's hearts are fickle.
She can accompany him to face all kinds of wind and rain, but she will not accompany him to the peak of power.
She won't wait until the love between the two of them is exhausted before leaving him.
Ning Guzhou didn't know that she was thinking so much at this moment, so he asked her: "What are you thinking about?"
Tang Miaoxin chuckled, stretched out her arms to hug him and said, "It's nothing, I just think it's too difficult for you!"
At this moment, she didn't know what the future would be like or how long the two of them could be together.
But she felt that she shouldn't think too much about the future for the time being, and just be happy every moment the two of them were together.
Her hands moved along his clothes irregularly. Ning Guzhou took a breath and grabbed her restless hand: "You are playing with fire."
Tang Miaoxin chuckled and pressed him under her: "Yes, do you have any objections?"
Ning Guzhou: "..."
Just as he was about to speak, her lips had already blocked his lips.
Ning Guzhou: "..."
He now somewhat understood how he felt when he blocked her lips.
She seemed to be becoming more and more relaxed in front of him.
Tang Miaoxin said in his ear: "Prince, your injury has not recovered yet, tonight is my home court!"
Ning Guzhou: "..."
He found that the feeling of marrying a daring daughter-in-law was really... great!
As a result of struggling for most of the night, Tang Miaoxin yawned profusely during the exam, and she actually forgot a lot of what she had memorized all night last night.
Fortunately, her goal is not high, as long as she gets a B grade.
After finishing the exam, she calculated her own score and found that she should be able to reach the second-class standard. She happily handed in the paper.
Cheng Lixue happened to come over when she was handing in the paper, and he asked her: "How did you go in the exam?"
She smiled and said: "I think it's okay. After all, I am the disciple of the mountain leader. If you do poorly in the exam, it will be a disgrace to you, the mountain leader."
