Chapter 236 What are you thinking?
Pei Qingshang looked at him coldly and didn't answer.

This made Northern Liang Emperor Ning Xiuyuan feel like a thorn in his throat for a while.

Facing such a rebellious eldest son, he slowly recalled the past.

It turned out that when Emperor Beiliang was still a prince, he brought his servants to hide his name and come to Da Xun to play.

And here he met Pei Qingshang's mother, a gentle girl who sells poetry and books, Pei Tingmeng.

The two met in the library, and Pei Tingmeng was well educated. He not only had the grace of a woman, but also had insights and wisdom that were different from ordinary girls.

Therefore, under Ning Xiuyuan's fierce pursuit, the two worshiped and got married.

Not long after the marriage, Pei Tingmeng became pregnant.

For her sake, Ning Xiuyuan completely wanted to give up his status as a prince, stay in Da Xun forever, and be an ordinary scholar.

For a while they lived in poverty but were content with loving each other.

But the good times don't last long, Ning Xiuyuan's biological mother, Concubine Li, is a ruthless character.

In order to force him to return to Beiliang to fight for the throne, she sent dozens of skilled guards to Da Xun.

On a rainy night, Ning Xiuyuan was knocked out and forced to take him back to Beiliang.

When he woke up again, he was already a long way away from Da Xun's capital.

He also resisted and escaped, but failed without exception.

When he returned to Beiliang, his mother, Concubine Li, lied about having captured Pei Tingmeng and threatened Ning Xiuyuan to fight for the throne.

Otherwise, he will never find her for the rest of his life.

Ning Xiuyuan believed it was true, and threw himself into the vortex of imperial power struggle.

When Pei Tingmeng woke up, her husband disappeared. She was six months pregnant at the time, so she searched from house to house, even the streets of the capital.

But Ning Xiuyuan seemed to have evaporated suddenly in her life.

Pei Tingmeng is a gentle and strong woman, she firmly believes that her husband will come back.

It's a pity that she couldn't see him in the end when she was about to give birth.

When Pei Tingmeng's water broke, she happened to be helping out in a nunnery with some small things within her power.

Because she was pregnant, it was not convenient for her to sell books, so her life was very difficult.

The nuns in the nunnery were kind enough to take her in.

She gave birth to Pei Qingshang here and stayed with him until he was five years old.

Then, on an autumn day when maple leaves were falling on the ground, she sat by the window and fell asleep quietly, never waking up again.

Before she died of illness, she kept looking at the door, longing for Ning Xiuyuan's figure to appear.

Until death, her hopes were not fulfilled.

After Pei Tingmeng's death, the nuns in the nunnery took turns to take care of Pei Qingshang.

Later, because they were getting old one after another, the abbot of the nunnery made the decision to introduce Pei Qingshang to meet the eminent monk Xuande who was famous all over the world at that time.

After joining Xuande's sect, Pei Qingshang became taciturn, and his ability improved day by day.

He became indifferent, and always thought that his parents were dead, he was alone, and he didn't need other feelings.

At this time, Ning Xiuyuan had also succeeded to the throne, and as the new emperor, he immediately ordered to search for Pei Tingmeng all over the world.

His people have returned to the place where he and Pei Tingmeng lived, but the place has changed and the buildings are empty.

He could only tell from an old nun who was still alive that Pei Tingmeng gave birth to a boy named Qingshang with a mole on his lower back.

When Ning Xiuyuan learned that Pei Tingmeng had passed away a long time ago, he blamed himself extremely.

He couldn't even find Pei Tingmeng's bones, but he still persisted in erecting a tomb for her, and waited for him to be buried with her after his death.

Everyone in Beiliang knew that when the current emperor was still a prince, he had a commoner wife.

No one knew her name, only that she was called Yuan Wife by Ning Xiuyuan.

In fact, in the past few years, Ning Xiuyuan also married other women to be the queen, took in several concubines, and had several children.

But he has always been thinking about Pei Qingshang, and he once wanted to call him back to Beiliang.

Naihe was blocked one by one by the eminent monk Xuande.

The eminent monk Xuande told him: "When Pei Qingshang grows up and is sensible, he will have the right to make a decision whether to go with you or not."

Now, Ning Xiuyuan stood in front of Pei Qingshang and asked him this question again.

"Qingshang, are you willing to go back with me? The country is peacefully governed by me. As long as you are willing, I will abdicate and give everything to you. You are the only son I recognize, and the throne can only be inherited by you."

Simiaomiao recovered from her astonishment, she turned to look at Pei Qingshang.

And his expression was extremely indifferent, the black color in his eyes was like a dead sea without ripples.

There was no one talking around, and only the sound of rain could be heard in the silence.

Pei Qingshang suddenly sneered: "So at first you sent these people to ambush here, because you wanted to imitate Concubine Li's behavior and take me back to Beiliang forcibly?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Ning Xiuyuan's face, and he nodded slowly.

"I know it must be difficult for you to accept me suddenly, so I originally wanted to take you back, and when you see that I have made up for everything to you, you will definitely be able to let go of your guard."

Pei Qingshang looked at him with cold eyes and just sneered.

Suddenly, a cold light flashed in his hand, and he stabbed at Ning Xiuyuan directly with the cold sword in his hand.

Everyone was shocked, Simiao Miao hastily grabbed his arm.

The group of people pretending to be bandits also stood in front of Ning Xiuyuan.

Facing Ning Xiuyuan's astonished gaze, Pei Qingshang's voice was cold and distant.

He raised his eyebrows and warned: "I am different from a coward like you. Da Xun has someone I love dearly. If you dare to separate us, I will dare to kill you."

Pei Qingshang withdrew his sword and did it in one go.

"I won't go back to Beiliang, you are your emperor, don't bother us anymore, get out!"

He grabbed Simiao Miao's palm with his back and wanted to leave, but Ning Qingfu hurriedly stood in front of him.

"Brother..." There were tears in her eyes: "Although we are not from the same mother, I often hear my father talking about the former queen."

She cried and said: "Father was poisoned by a strange poison a year ago, and time is running out. His greatest wish is to recognize you."

Pei Qingshang looked at her with lowered eyebrows, without any emotion: "What does his wish have to do with me?"

Ning Qingfu was stunned, and Pei Qingshang led Simiaomiao away in full view.

Yin Yueya and Xu Baimo also bowed their heads and left silently.

Ning Xiuyuan stood in the rain, looking at Pei Qingshang's back without turning his head, he seemed to have aged a lot in that instant.

Back in the room, Pei Qingshang gently stroked Simiaomiao's hair: "Put away the things, we will go back to the palace when the rain stops."

After that, he stood alone in front of the window, staring at the rain curtain with a blank expression on his face.

Si Miaomiao stood behind him and saw him, a little hesitant.

She couldn't let Pei Qingshang take the initiative to forgive Emperor Beiliang.

However, seeing Pei Qingshang's complex emotions now, she guessed that he might have expected to be found by his father a long time ago, when he was young.

Now it was her turn to stare at Pei Qingshang's back.

When Pei Qingshang turned around, he happened to see her in a daze.

He laughed: "What are you thinking?"

 Thank you Mengmeng for your reward!Thank you Mint Cat for the monthly pass!
  Everyone will soon witness the marriage of the two countries of Beiliang and Daxun!Big wedding arrangements!
