Chapter 235: The relationship between father and son is severed, and there will be no connection in this life
When he was young in Wanshe Valley, Yuan Gu, who was born weak and not good at martial arts, was always bullied by other disciples in the valley.
Deng Youning, who was raised alone in the basement, always tried to find ways to escape from the basement, and even escape from the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes.
When Xiao Youning sneaked out of the basement again, Xiao Yuangu was being bullied by a group of disciples in the valley, who used him to test their newly made poison.
Xiao Yuan Gu, who was dying from the poison, met Xiao You Ning.
She knew that her blood could cure all kinds of poisons, so she cured Xiao Yuangu of the poison. She wanted to do a good deed without leaving a name, so she turned around and left. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuangu had already woken up by then, and recognized that it was her who cured him of the poison.
However, the place where she lived was looked after by the Valley Master himself, so it would be difficult for Xiao Yuan to see her again no matter what.
He had been in Wanshe Valley for eight years, and during these eight years, he had only met Deng Youning three times.
One was the first encounter when they were young.
The first time was six years ago, when everyone in the valley went out to catch her after she escaped.
Once, last year, the Valley Master was replaced by her, and all disciples were allowed to leave the valley and return home.
To Yuan Gu, she is no longer just an ordinary benefactor.
She is like a goddess shining brightly from heaven.
Without her, he and all the disciples in the valley would never be able to return to normal life.
But at that time, Yuan Gu only regarded her as a deity.
It was not until yesterday's reunion outside the Wanshe Valley that Yuan Gu finally confirmed his feelings for Deng Youning after seeing her transformation over the past year.
In a corner that Deng Youning was unaware of, Yuan Gu had already placed her in his heart.
"Didn't Young Marquis Yuan say he was anxious to see me?"
"I am here, but I am just an ordinary official of Dongji. I am no longer the King of Changle of Nanxin. All the formalities and anything else you want to say to the King of Changle, please don't say anything."
Li Tianzhuo's words interrupted Yuan Gu's thoughts.
Yuan Gu bowed respectfully to Li Tianzhuo.
"Whether you are His Royal Highness the Prince of Changle or an official of Dongji, I am here to bring you a message by order of the Emperor:"
"Your Majesty, his health is not good. The imperial physician has diagnosed that he may not survive this year."
"As for the rest, Lord Li will decide for himself."
Li Tianzhuo had an ugly expression.
After hearing this, Wang seemed a little anxious.
"What's going on? Is Father seriously ill?"
He glanced at all the Nanxin people present, but everyone avoided looking at him, as if they were very scared and were deliberately avoiding him.
Li Tianzhuo also noticed the abnormal behavior of the crowd.
"So, Father is indeed seriously ill?"
Li Tianzhuo exchanged glances with Si Wang.
That was his father who gave birth to him and raised him, the one he respected the most. When Li Tianzhuo heard the news that he was sick, it was impossible for him not to be nervous.
Deng Youning squeezed his hand and advised:
"Don't worry. We will follow the delegation to Yuncheng anyway. We will inquire about it when we get there."
Li Tianzhuo nodded, and his nervous expression disappeared in an instant.
But Han Xian still saw it all.
He has always been the supreme King Changle of Yuncheng, and is connected by blood with Emperor Nanxin.
Would he really go against his biological father for Ningning?
No, this time, he also wanted to go to Yuncheng with the delegation.
"Thank you, Young Marquis Yuan, for telling me, but please let me pass on a message to your Majesty: the relationship between father and son has ended, and we will have no further contact in this life!"
Li Tianzhuo's words were cruel and resolute.
Yuan Gu licked his back teeth and shook his head, thinking that Li Tianzhuo was a difficult guy. It seemed that he would have to work harder to persuade him to return to the palace.
The other ministers of Nanxin shook their heads at Li Tianzhuo, cursing him for being unkind in their hearts. After all, he was the favorite son of Emperor Nanxin, but as a son, he wanted to sever the father-son relationship just like that?
When the Han family heard what he said, they were quite satisfied with him. So, if there was another war in the southeast and he had to make a choice, he might help Dongji.
Deng Yan'an also breathed a sigh of relief. At least he was sure that Li Tianzhuo had never coveted Nanxin's throne.
Only Deng Youning, who was holding his hand and standing beside him, could fully sense his emotions.
She knew that when Li Tianzhuo said these words, her heart was also in pain.
Nan Xin welcomed the delegation, as they had come from afar. After everyone had a brief chat about the upcoming itinerary, the Han family arranged a courtyard for Nan Xin and his group to rest.
Yuan Gu has not been quiet.
I kept thinking about saying a few more words to Deng Youning.
After some inquiries, he found out Deng Youning's address in the general's mansion, and deliberately went there to read books to create an opportunity to meet Deng Youning by chance.
The book he was reading was a book on how to make poisons and practice witchcraft in the Wanshe Valley.
As he wished, when the sun was slightly setting, Deng Youning seemed to have finally finished his work and took Yingshi back to his courtyard to rest.
They were going to leave for Yuncheng soon, and just now, they went to sell some things they needed for the journey.
Prepare to take a shower, change clothes, and wash up. You still have to have dinner with General Han in the evening, so you can't be negligent.
"Senior Sister You Ning."
Seeing Deng Youning coming, Yuan Gu hurriedly stopped her.
"Is there anything wrong, Junior Brother Yuan?"
Deng Youning asked politely, treating him with the distance and courtesy that a stranger should have.
During the sixteen years in Wanshe Valley, Deng Youning has saved quite a few people, so there is nothing special about Yuan Gu in her memory. On the contrary, his sudden return to the valley yesterday still raises many doubts.
"Senior sister, I have never quite understood the method of refining this poison. Can you please explain it to me?"
He pointed casually at the book and asked with a studious look.
"Go and help me prepare what I need for a bath."
Deng Youning let Ying Shi go back by herself first.
Only after Ying Shi walked away did she expose Yuan Gu's disguise.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
"You don't look like a poison maker. Don't use this book as an excuse."
Yuan Gu was somewhat shocked. How could Deng Youning be so capable that he could see through him at a glance? !
He simply stopped pretending and said generously:
"I have remembered your life-saving grace when I was young for many years. I only hope that one day I can repay you for your kindness."
Deng Youning raised her eyebrows. Was it really just to repay a favor?
"It's just a small favor, don't mind it, Junior Brother."
"If you really want to repay me, just spend more time escorting the king this time."
After smiling politely at Yuan Gu, Deng Youning turned around and wanted to leave.
She was not very familiar with Yuan Gu.
"Wait a moment, Senior Sister. Could you please briefly tell me how you met and fell in love with our King Changle?"
He mustered up the courage to ask, but was afraid that his question was too abrupt, so he added:
"It's like this. When I return to the palace, I will definitely report the situation to His Majesty. If he asks, I will have an answer."
Deng Youning nodded. It was nothing and it was okay to tell him.
Just at this moment, Han Xian came over with two snack boxes in his hands.
I just went out on the street and saw a newly opened pastry shop. I thought the food was delicious, so I bought some for her.
Just then, when I walked behind the tree, I heard Yuan Gu asking Deng Youning this question.
He was also quite curious about this, so he simply hid here and listened secretly.
"Him. Six years ago, when I ran away secretly, I didn't come back for many days, and that's when I met him."
"Later, when I returned to Dongji, I ran into him again. Because of some trivial matters, we became close friends."
"It's very ordinary, nothing special."
Deng Youning’s words made Yuan Gu and Han Xian hard to believe. Is it really so normal?
They thought it would be so spectacular.
