Chapter 2003: What price can you pay?

Gu Nuoer looked at him suspiciously.

"It's impossible. Daddy wouldn't do that. You are his son. There is no reason for him to treat you like this!"

Ming Qi sat up firmly and rested for a moment before suddenly letting out a sneer.

"So you are a very happy person. Since you were born, you have had an emotion that our more than twenty princes have never experienced before - father's love."

"When he faces you, he is like a father. But to us, we are ministers and he is the king."

Ming Qi's eyes were dark, and when he recalled the past, darkness surged in his eyes.

"It is recorded in the books that the Thirteenth Prince died at the age of three, but this is not the case. I actually left the palace at the age of six."

Gu Nuoer rounded her red lips: "Yes, I remember Brother Twelve said that he had an impression that you had been with him for a long time."

Ming Qi's eyes darkened when he heard the name of the Twelve Princes.

He lowered his head: "To be honest, I can't completely blame my father for this matter. It was my own request."

"I asked him to give me a chance to be a useful prince. For this, I am willing to do anything."

Gu Nuoer raised her eyebrows slightly: "Why are you doing this?"

Ming Qi raised his eyes to look at her and laughed.

"My mother-in-law was a palace servant and died when she gave birth to me. Since I was born, no one has treated me like a prince except my wet nurse, Aunt Suxue."

"There are many princes in the palace, and the emperor rarely intervenes in the management of the harem. At that time, your mother, Concubine Qiao, and Empress Du supported each other and were fighting against Concubine Li, who came from an excellent family."

"The concubines are still living in dire straits, let alone a little prince like me?"

Ming Qi leaned against the peeling paint pillar in the hall.

His tone was low: "Actually, I can also endure it and survive until I reach adulthood. Maybe I can survive until the clouds clear and the moon shines."

"But Aunt Suxue can't wait any longer. She is seriously ill. It's ridiculous that as a prince, I can't ask an imperial doctor to treat her."

Thinking of those dark and uncomfortable days, Ming Qi couldn't help but clenched his hands.

After he invited the imperial doctor to come over, the imperial doctor heard that he was going to diagnose a disease for his grandma, so he immediately waved his hand and refused to see her.

Aunt Suxue's condition became more and more serious. It lasted for two or three days, and she was about to die.

Ming Qi had no choice but to go straight to Gu Yihan.

"I still remember the way my father looked at me when I rushed to the study room."

Ming Qi laughed out loud as he spoke, with infinite self-mockery.

"The look in his eyes was so unfamiliar, as if he was looking at a dying person without recognizing that I was one of his sons."

"I begged him to help me save my grandma. I am willing to pay any price. Do you know what my father asked?"

Gu Nuoer was stunned and did not answer.

Because she couldn't guess.

She didn't know what her father was like when he was ruthless.

Ming Qi said in a deep voice: "The first thing he asked me was: What price can you pay?"

Gu Nuoer was silent.

Ming Qi sneered: "Look, what a cold-blooded and heartless sentence."

"I told him at that time that as long as I saved Grandma Suxue, I could die."

Ming Qi, who was only six years old at the time, didn't know how to prove his determination to Gu Yihan.

So he picked up a teapot filled with boiling water and poured it directly into his throat.

Fortunately, Father Chunshou walked up quickly and knocked down the teapot.
