What happened? Why did that person get something from Prince Heng on the second day after the banquet in his previous life, but now he has nothing.
Gu Mingyue felt a little uneasy. She had calculated everything correctly before going to help the girl from the Bai family. If Prince Heng didn't express his position, her life would definitely not be easy in the future. Princess Xin'an is not an ordinary domineering person. In the past, she would always make trouble for someone even if she had no enmity or grudge against her, let alone they had such a big feud.
The more she thought about it, the more anxious Gu Mingyue became. It wasn't until the fifth day that Prince Heng was still not waiting for her, that she completely lost her last trace of luck.
Things didn't go as she expected, and Gu Mingyue couldn't help but feel a little irritable, and even the maids who served her were a lot more careful, for fear of being betrayed by the second girl who had no eyesight before.
After being locked up in the room for a few days, Gu Mingyue felt anxious. She thought this was the best chance to turn over, but she didn't want to miss it. Since there was no movement from Prince Heng, she had to think of another way.
After sitting for a long time, she suddenly said to the maid next to her: "Go to the eldest girl's yard and see if Xiuye is there. If she is there, let her find time to come to my place."
"My slave knows." Bai Zhi is the maid who has been serving Gu Mingyue. Naturally, she knows that Xiuye next to the eldest girl has long been caught by their girl.
Speaking of which, the eldest girl is too stupid. She only knows to say nice things but never gives any benefits. It is only a matter of time that Xiuye will fall to the second girl.
Gu Mingmou felt very comfortable during the few days in Changnian Temple. She could not see the Gu family and her mother was by her side. Even the hatred boiling in her heart was somewhat calmed down by kneeling in front of the Buddha.
It's a pity that she has to go back after all.
At this time, in a Zen room in the back garden of the temple, two people were sitting opposite each other. On the jade chessboard in front of them, the black and white chess pieces each occupied half of the territory. Even though it was such a quiet place, it was also because of the pressing step by step of the chess player. A little more dangerous.
As soon as the black stones fell, they immediately captured several white stones. The stability on the chessboard was finally broken. The white stones fell all the way and finally fell into despair.
"The Imperial Master is restless today, but he has lost his standards." As he spoke, the man put down the black piece in his hand, raised his head and smiled at the person opposite him. It was Prince Heng who had made Gu Mingyue plan everything, sitting opposite him.
It is Ning Ze, the Imperial Master of Dayan.
Although he has reached maturity, Ning Ze still looks very young and has an extraordinary handsome appearance. Only the gray on his temples shows that he is no longer young.
It has been nearly ten years since Shen Guiye met him, and this man's appearance has never changed.
"Your Majesty's chess skills are getting better and better." Ning Ze smiled, not caring about the temptation in the other person's words.
This person is the heir to the Yan Kingdom whom he values most. Although his biological mother died young and he does not have a strong background, his military skills are much better than those of other princes.
It's just... He had been hesitating before whether to assist this person, just because this person had a pair of double eyes that represented war disaster.
There are very few people who are born with double pupils, and every one of them can be called a hero in troubled times. The premise of all this is troubled times. Now that the world has been settled, if an emperor with double pupils emerges, even he cannot predict what changes will occur.
The older the current emperor is, the more wary he becomes of his sons, especially Prince Heng. Although he seems to be constantly doting on him, he is being used as a target in front of several princes, and there is no telling when they will take action against him.
At this point, Ning Ze has no better choice.
"I heard from my father that the imperial master left the capital a few days ago." Shen Guiye didn't take Ning Ze's compliment to heart.
Ning Ze was silent for a while and finally said: "I went to Yongzhou to find the heir of the Xue family."
"could not find it?"
"The Xue family died twenty years ago." After saying this, Ning Ze looked dejected. He had a deep connection with the Xue family, but in the end he had to cut it off. I thought that the Xue family would be better after leaving, but I didn't expect that twenty years later, the Xue family would be gone.
The little girl who once pulled his sleeve and insisted on marrying him is gone...
Shen Guiye raised his eyebrows. It was rare to see the National Master with such a disappointed expression. He didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only listen to him in silence.
After a while, Ning Ze regained his composure and continued: "Each generation of the Xue family has a woman who inherits the glazed eye. The glazed eye is the best choice to suppress double pupils."
"Apart from the Xue family?" Since there is no best choice, Shen Guiye doesn't feel it's a pity and forgets it.
"And Yokokawa
The Ning family is also Chen’s ancestral family. "
"oh?"
"I have a niece who has opened the third eye, which is the so-called third eye. Although she cannot compete with the double pupil, she can still limit it."
Shen Guiye looked at Ning Ze deeply, "What does the Ning family want?"
"My lord, your future legitimate son."
"Haha... This appetite is not small." Prince Heng chuckled lightly. There was no trace of anger on his face, but it made Ning Ze feel a chill.
Although the Ning family is a large family in Hengchuan, no one in the family is an official. The only one who can have a relationship with the royal family is Ning Ze, and Ning Ze was expelled from the Ning family twenty years ago.
Now the lion of the Ning family is openly asking for the position of Prince Heng's concubine. I don't know if he is extraordinarily brave or if he has already predicted the outcome.
At the moment, Shen Guiye is just a prince, but in the future, he is very likely to become the master of the country. If the daughter of the Ning family becomes a princess, she will be the queen in the future, and the legitimate son she gives birth to will be the prince.
The Ning family's ambition to capture the Yan Kingdom without spending a single soldier was obvious.
"Forget it, I have complied with their request."
Ning Ze was startled and looked at Shen Guiye in disbelief. Based on his understanding of Prince Heng, it is impossible for the Ning family to agree to such an excessive request.
"Since you want to marry me, let the Ning family bring you to the capital to show me."
"Your Highness..." The more talkative Shen Guiye became, the more uneasy Ning Ze felt. This prince has never been willing to be restricted by others. It is not certain whether this agreement will succeed or destroy the Ning family.
"The Imperial Master doesn't believe me?" Shen Guiye smiled half-heartedly, as if he could easily see what Ning Ze was thinking.
Ning Ze lowered his eyes with an indifferent expression, "Of course I believe in the prince."
Regardless of whether Prince Heng's promise can be fulfilled or not, it is meaningless to him. Now that he has made a choice, there is no room for regrets, and he must go down this road no matter what.
Talking to smart people saves effort. Shen Guiye dropped the last piece, signaling the end of the chess game. He stood up and looked at the dark sky outside the window and said, "The imperial concubine is pregnant. My father is in a good mood recently, but I don't know if it will stay good forever."
"Of course not." Ning Ze replied casually without looking away from the chessboard.
