Chapter 282 Whoever is tempted first will be forced to do so
This is the first serious confession Tang Miaoxin has made in her two lives. Although she is wearing a disguise, it is good to be able to express her innermost thoughts through this shell.
Although the man she confessed to didn't like her...
Ning Guzhou felt that her acting skills were better than before. She said such things against her will, but now she could actually say it so falsely.
Even though he knew she was just acting, these words still caused huge waves in his heart.
He told himself that although her words were false, it was probably the only time in his life that he heard her say that she liked him.
It's just that he doesn't like lies in this life, and he doesn't need anyone's pity.
He doesn't need this kind of insincere love.
He pulled away her hand around her waist: "You are so boring."
After he said that, he turned and left.
Tang Miaoxin stood there blankly, suddenly feeling ridiculous.
She originally wanted to lie to him and tell him that he liked her, even if it was fake she would still be happy, but in the end she was ruthlessly rejected by him.
No matter how thick-skinned she was, she couldn't bear it at this moment and wanted to hit the wall in embarrassment!
She swore that if she couldn't help falling in love with him anymore, she would chop off her head and use it as a ball!
After Tang Miaoxin returned to her room, she thought about what had just happened and went crazy. She grabbed the quilt and covered herself tightly.
It wasn't until she was out of breath that she kicked off the quilt.
In this deserted night, she couldn't control her emotions after all, her eyes were red and she shed tears silently.
When it comes to relationships, it really comes down to whoever is tempted first and who is the one who is forced to do the hard work.
She prided herself on being rational and calm, but she couldn't control her emotions after all. She fell deeper and deeper into the trap, eventually humiliating herself.
She took a deep breath, wiped the tears from her eyes, and said softly to herself: "That's fine, give up as soon as possible!"
She is also the kind of person who can take things up and let them go. At this time, she was sad and cried. Even though she was still a little sad, she felt she could bear it.
When Tang Miaoxin was sad, Ning Guzhou was listening in the room with a voice stone.
There is only one sentence she just said: "Ning Guzhou, I like you!"
Even if he knew this sentence was false, he still felt happy listening to it.
After listening to it more than ten times, he whispered softly: "Tang Miaoxin, one day I will let you say from the bottom of your heart that you like me."
He hugged the voice stone gently, feeling sad but full of fighting spirit.
Compared with the entanglement and embarrassment of the two couples in Prince Qin's palace, the palace at this time seemed particularly depressing.
Lin Yue worked extremely efficiently. At this time, he had collected all the information and presented it to Emperor Cheng Ming's Dragon Case.
Emperor Cheng Ming read all the information with a gloomy face, and finally slapped the dragon case: "Ning Zhiyuan is so courageous!"
For a moment, the palace attendants in the main hall did not dare to express their anger, and lowered their heads to their chests, fearing that they would be offended if they made any noise.
Lin Yue said softly: "This time I investigated the matter of private soldiers, and I found that my uncle's house was also involved."
"The prince's private soldiers have now been integrated into the uncle's army."
"The prince has tens of thousands of kilograms of iron in his courtyard outside Beijing, as well as many forged weapons."
Lin Yue knew that he only needed to tell the facts and did not need to give any opinions.
Emperor Cheng Ming's eyes were filled with cold murderous intent, and the atmosphere in the entire hall was terrifyingly oppressive.
After a long time, Emperor Cheng Ming said: "I know all this, you can go down!"
Lin Yue bowed and retreated.
As he retreated, he sighed in his heart: "The emperor is really not so tolerant to the prince!"
"The prince privately opens iron mines and raises private soldiers. The emperor actually tolerates such things. I'm afraid the prince will be even more arrogant in the future."
After Lin Yue left, Emperor Chengming asked all the palace attendants to retreat.
After they retreated, the anger on Emperor Cheng Ming's face faded a lot. He turned to face the curtain and said, "What do you think about this?"
Cheng Lixue walked out from behind the curtain, his hands half folded in his sleeves, and he looked a little lazy.
He smiled lightly and said: "This is your housework, it has nothing to do with me."
Emperor Cheng Ming rolled his eyes at him: "I'm afraid you are the only one in the world who dares to speak to me like this."
Cheng Lixue was still calm and calm: "If you want me to act like an emperor, I certainly won't dare to speak like that."
"The reason why I dare is just because I have decades of friendship with you."
Emperor Chengming sighed: "In the blink of an eye, we have known each other for decades."
"I think back then, the four of us were so happy and happy, but now, I am the only one left living in this cold palace."
"When he was in charge of the government before, I always felt a bit disdainful of him. I felt that he was too scheming and everything in the world was in his calculations."
"And after I ascended the throne and proclaimed myself emperor, I realized how difficult it was for him back then."
"The position of emperor looks very glamorous, but in reality it is extremely dangerous."
Cheng Lixue said quietly: "Anyway, you have done quite well in these years and you are a wise man."
He knew that the "he" in Emperor Cheng Ming's mouth referred to the original regent and their best friend.
The incident that happened that year ended their friendship and made Emperor Ming the emperor he was.
Over the years, Emperor Chengming has always avoided talking about the original incident.
Cheng Lixue knew that Emperor Cheng Ming didn't say anything, but in his heart he had been competing with the original regent, wanting to become a wiser emperor than the regent.
What Ning Zhiyuan did today was tantamount to conspiracy, and it brought back the past that Emperor Cheng Ming had hidden deep in his heart, which was why he made such a sigh.
Over the years, everything has changed.
Emperor Chengming sighed quietly: "I am not as good as him!"
Cheng Lixue was a little surprised. He knew that Emperor Cheng Ming was extremely arrogant, and it was really difficult for Emperor Cheng Ming to say this.
Cheng Lixue glanced at Emperor Cheng Ming and saw that there were already a lot of gray hairs on his temples.
As time goes by, they are no longer the high-spirited young men they were before.
Nowadays, they each have their own ties, and they can no longer be as showy and wanton as they were when they were young.
Even if he had been friends with Emperor Cheng Ming for decades and had a youthful friendship, he would still not make any judgments on this matter, let alone express the wounds of Emperor Cheng Ming.
He only said: "You have done a good job over the years."
There was helplessness in Emperor Cheng Ming's eyes: "No matter how good I do, I can't stop my sons from killing each other."
Cheng Lixue smiled: "Isn't this what you asked for first?"
Emperor Cheng Ming looked at him, and Cheng Lixue continued: "You have never wanted to follow the doctrine of concubine, and you want to choose the best among all the princes to inherit the throne."
"The prince's clever methods overwhelmed the princes, so they had to do their best to improve their abilities."
