Ning Guogong almost said this through gritted teeth. He knew that he had no bargaining chip now. The only thing that could impress Gu Qingze was this condition.
As for whether what he said would be followed or not, that was not within his scope of consideration.
Anyway, there were only two of them in this secret room, unlike yesterday in the Anqing Palace, in front of the emperor and all the civil and military officials, where he made a promise that was more important than Mount Tai and had to be fulfilled.
Now, even if he makes a few more promises, what does he have to worry about? No one else knows about it anyway.
In terms of depth of scheming and thick skin, even ten Gu Qingze could not compare to one Ning Guogong.
Gu Qingze raised his eyebrows: "Ten promises?"
"Yes, yes, as long as you, the miracle doctor, are willing to save me, I will do whatever you want me to do!" Ning Guogong said generously, patting his chest.
Gu Qingze smiled coldly: "Yesterday at the Anqing Palace, I just asked the Duke for a promise, but the Duke resisted and refused, and the promise was very unpleasant. Today, I made ten promises so generously. There are only two of you and me here. Man, I’m afraid the Duke has made up his mind a long time ago and wants to default on the debt, right?”
Ning Guogong secretly thought that this boy was so powerful that he actually saw what he was thinking, but he was very deep in the city, and even though his thoughts were exposed, his expression remained unchanged.
"Miracle doctor, you have a token given to you by my father-in-law. As long as you take out the token, my father-in-law will not be able to get it even if you want to refuse. Are you still afraid that my father-in-law will regret it?" He said calmly.
But only he himself knew how much strength he used to keep the muscles on his face from shaking, because the ringworm on his body was extremely painful and itchy, and he wanted to scratch it desperately every moment.
Gu Qingze looked at him intently. He couldn't see any intention of regretting it on Ning Guogong's face. He didn't want to regret it either. He was willing to pay any price as long as it would stop him from being so painful and itchy.
Seeing Gu Qingze's delay in nodding, Ning Guogong finally couldn't help but said: "Gu miraculous doctor, if you don't come to save me, will you just watch my prince die?"
He did have thoughts of death in his heart. He thought that he was a dignified Ning Guogong, with a high position and respected by others. If others knew that he had such a strange disease and turned into a half-human, half-snake monster, he would not die in pain. Itchy to death, but also to be shamed to death.
What's more, the pain itched and penetrated deep into his bones, making him feel that every moment of living was torture, and it would be better to die.
"Why, do you think life is worse than death now, Your Majesty?" Gu Qingze said lightly, a strange look flashed in his eyes.
Duke Ningguo did not pay attention. He nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, if I have to continue to suffer this torture, I would rather die. If the ancient divine doctor is unwilling to save me, then I will have no choice but to die."
Hearing this, Gu Qingze couldn't help but sneered: "Your Majesty, are you threatening me with your own life? What does it have to do with me whether you die or not?"
The corner of Ning Guogong's mouth twitched and he said: "The miracle doctor will not notice my life, but if I die, then the promise I made to you will never be fulfilled."
There was a cunning look on his face. This was his last bargaining chip and the most powerful one!
Sure enough, after he finished speaking, Gu Qingze's expression changed.
