Chapter 556 Regret Agreeing
Ying Ning got up angrily, walked outside, grabbed Xiao Shiyi's skirt, pulled him up, and cursed: "Can you be a little promising? Look at Ming Ping!"

"Mother Concubine... don't bother me, I, I'm sleepy..."

He mumbled with his eyes closed.

Ying Ning was startled, and patted him instead: "Xiao Shishi, wake up."

Gu Qizhen opened his eyes, saw Yingning in a haze, and after a moment of trance, he gradually remembered what happened.

The light in his eyes dimmed instantly, and he said in a hoarse voice, "It turned out to be Sister Ying. I thought it was Mother Concubine..."

He still couldn't accept the fact that his mother and concubine had died, and he had nightmares every night.

Ying Ning patted his back comfortingly, and said softly: "For you, Ming Ping is still writing. Look."

Gu Qizhen turned his head, and sure enough, inside the open door, Ming Ping was writing in Fu'an, leaving behind a thin silhouette in the candlelight.

Ying Ning said: "Ming Ping is an honest child, and he is also a pampered young master at home. I didn't expect to suffer all day long following you. You said that you have to be successful just for the people around you, right?"

Gu Qizhen drooped his head: "Sister, it's not that I don't want to learn, I just can't read it. My head hurts when I read and write. I always feel like I hear my concubine calling my name underwater..."

He bent down, covered his head, and leaned his head on his knees, looking painful: "My mother said that she was cold and uncomfortable...Sister Ying, I'm so scared, I'm really scared..."

Yingning patted him on the back and said in a low voice, "Sister knows you are sad."

"Sister Ying," Gu Qizhen looked up, with tears on his cheeks, "I used to think that being a crown prince was very majestic. When Brother Six asked me, I said I wanted to be one. I really didn't expect..."

"What did you say?" Yingning interrupted him, "Can you repeat what you just said?"

"Being a prince's prestige..."

"No, what did your sixth brother ask you?"

"Sixth brother asked me if I want to be the prince."

"When did he ask you?"

"Just...before I became the prince."

Yingning was stunned.

Gu Qizhen went on to say: "Actually, Sixth Brother was talking to his mother and concubine at that time. I overheard it, and Sixth Brother also asked me."

Ying Ning was surprised: "Your sixth brother has discussed this matter with your mother and concubine?"

"Yes!" Gu Qizhen nodded.

"What did they say, do you remember?"

"I only heard a few or two sentences. Anyway, I am very happy to see my mother and concubine. Sixth brother asked me if I want to be a prince, so how can I not?" Gu Qizhen finished happily, and his face drooped again, "If I knew a long time ago that being a crown prince is so bad, and I wouldn’t even want to be killed!”

Ying Ning was a little dazed, so she didn't speak.

Gu Qizhen murmured: "I thought being a prince was just a show of prestige. My brothers and sisters are all a head shorter than me. How could I know that being a prince is so troublesome! You have to hold your head down to read and write, and you will be punished if you can't write well! And the concubine... ...killed too."

He began to cry again.

Ying Ning was silent for a while, stood up, and said: "Since it is your own choice, there is nothing to complain about. If you are brave enough, go tell your father that you regret it and don't want to be the prince anymore."

"I can not!"

Gu Qizhen refused without hesitation.

The emperor would really beat him to death.

What's more, in the past few months since he was the prince, he has played a lot of power and prestige, and he has done bullying things a lot.

If he loses his crown prince position and his concubine who protects him, how can he think about it in the palace?
For Gu Qizhen, the crown prince has become a shackle that cannot be thrown away, and he loves and hates it at the same time.
