Chapter 252: Forced Someone's Son to Death
The sky in Yuncheng in August is clear, and the white clouds are like ink casually painted by a painter, covering the scorching sun in the sky and bringing comfort and coolness to the people on this land.
Deng Youning has been receiving treatment at Gongyang's home for half a month.
Taking advantage of the nice weather today, I went out for a walk with Yingshi.
Just like Li Tianzhuo said before, they haven't had a good look around Yuncheng yet.
Recalling the places Li Tianzhuo had mentioned, Deng Youning walked through every street that Li Tianzhuo had walked through.
"Old Yu's Broken Gold Rice; Liu's Crab Stuffed Orange; and the most delicious Hua's Pastry..."
When she stopped and looked back, she seemed to see Li Tianzhuo's figure right behind her, chattering to her about the delicious and fun things in Yuncheng.
If I count carefully, I haven't seen him for six or seven days.
The longing in her heart had already made her see everything transformed into his image.
"Girl, your cakes cost nineteen coppers."
The owner of the pastry stall packed the things and handed them to Yingshi.
"Miss, let's go. We've already bought so much. We won't be able to finish it if we buy more."
Ying Shi looked at her hands full of various delicacies and advised Deng Youning to go back.
Deng Youning nodded and walked forward in a daze.
A little beggar was squatting beside the boss's stall, staring at the cakes on the stall.
When Yingshi was paying, he shifted his gaze to Yingshi's wallet.
Li Shen had been wandering outside for three to five days, and any valuables he had on him had been snatched away by other beggars.
The older beggars told him that he could squat here and beg for food.
But he had never begged for food, nor had he seen a beggar begging for food, so he didn't know what to say or do. He could only stare at everyone who paid to buy something with eyes that seemed to be eager to be seen.
The little boy's eyes were wet and small, and he looked so pitiful when he looked there.
Deng Youning made eye contact with him, shook her head and said with emotion:
“I didn’t expect that there would be so many beggars in Yuncheng!”
She thought that if Li Tianzhuo could successfully ascend the throne as Emperor Nanxin, he would surely make the country prosperous and the people strong, and there would never be a hungry citizen again.
He was born with the talent to govern the country, and he should not have wandered around the world, wasting his talents and ambitions.
"Yingshi, give me the cake."
Deng Youning reached out for the snacks she had just bought and handed them to Xiao Li to eat.
Xiao Li Shen didn't dare to continue.
Until Deng Youning said:
"Take it. Everyone has hard times. You are still so young, you really shouldn't be living on the streets."
"Unfortunately, this is not Dongji. I can't help you find a way out. The only things I can help you with are these snacks."
Li Shen didn't quite understand what she said.
She only knew that the older sister in front of her was a good person, and she was the only person who gave her food during the three or five days she was wandering.
Finally I don’t have to pick up other people’s garbage to eat!
He stood up, bowed respectfully to Deng Youning, and took the pastry with both hands.
Deng Youning was a little surprised.
A beggar is so polite!
"Miss, we really should go back, otherwise the prince will be worried about you."
They went out shopping, but Deng Yan'an did not follow them.
Perhaps he was tired of staying here, Deng Yan'an has been writing letters to Dongji these days.
I wrote countless letters, almost to everyone.
The number of homing pigeons that Gongyang raised was not enough for him, so he had to rent homing pigeons from outside.
The master and servant went all the way back to Gongyang's house. On the way, Yingshi kept telling her about the interesting things he had heard that happened in Yuncheng in the past few days.
"Miss, do you still remember the King Nanxinyi who besieged you, the Queen Mother, and the Twelve Princesses?"
"I heard that something happened in his house and his son drowned!"
"And this matter seems to be related to a concubine he brought back from Dongji."
"If you ask me, this King Yi is really a playboy. He went to our Dongji and didn't even bring back a beauty. Haha~"
Yingshi smiled with glee, feeling that it was all retribution for the current situation of Yi Wang.
He almost killed their young lady!
When Deng Youning heard about this, she was only worried about Li Tianzhuo.
If something happens in Prince Yi's palace, he, as Prince Yi's younger brother, must have someone to worry about.
wrong!
"You said that King Yi brought back a concubine from Dongji?"
Deng Youning suddenly repeated the question.
Sakura nodded dumbly.
Deng Youning suddenly thought of Deng Xuelian.
Last time on the street, she and Li Tianzhuo both saw Deng Xuelian and Yi Wang behaving intimately.
She suspected that King Yi's favorite concubine was Deng Xuelian.
"My good sister didn't know how to behave herself in Nanxin and got into trouble again."
"This time, he actually forced someone's son to death!"
Deng Youning had roughly guessed how King Yi's son died.
"Miss, King Yi's son may not be dead."
Ying Shi heard Deng Youning's mumbling to herself, leaned close to her ear and whispered.
"I was just buying something at the stall and heard a customer talking about it."
"That day, when a few servants from Prince Yi's palace went to bury the body, his son reappeared as a corpse!"
"Miss, do you think there is really such a thing as resurrection from the dead in this world?"
At this point, Yingshi shrank his neck, looking extremely scared.
Deng Youning's eyes rolled.
It is impossible to come back to life from the dead, unless you are not dead at all.
If he wasn't dead, where else could this child go if not home?
Thinking of this, for some reason, the little beggar suddenly popped up in her mind.
Although dirty, one could vaguely see that his clothes were made of fine materials, not something that ordinary people could afford.
Moreover, the beggar was extremely polite and knew how to follow the etiquette of the Nanxin Palace.
Could it be that... ?
Deng Youning had a guess in her mind and she had to find out.
After all, it is a life related to Azhuo by blood.
"Yingshi, let's go back to where we bought the cakes."
Deng Youning took the lead and walked back.
Yingshi didn't understand what her young lady had discovered, but she just followed her.
Before they reached the pastry stall, they saw groups of little beggars beating up another younger beggar in the alley.
"Sakura time."
Deng Youning gave Ying Shi a look.
Ying Shi quickly put down what he was holding, flew over using his Qinggong skills, and separated the beggars.
Fortunately, they were all teenagers, and when they saw Yingshi's powerful kung fu, they were scared away.
The little beggar who was beaten was the child just now.
"Are you okay?"
Ying Shi helped him up, and Deng Youning also walked over here.
When little Li Shen saw that the person who saved him was the kind sister who had just given him snacks, he couldn't hold back his tears and burst into tears.
"Miss, it was probably because we gave him the cakes and other beggars came to compete with him for them, so he was beaten."
Sakura analyzed.
Yingshi bought enough pastries for the four of them. She even thought that Deng Yan'an and Xiu Ming were men and would eat more, so she bought some more.
This amount is enough for a five or six-year-old child to eat for three or four days.
But now they are all gone, they can only be robbed.
Deng Youning first wiped his tears with a handkerchief.
"Okay, stop crying. You're a man."
"If you have nowhere to go, why don't you go home with your sister first."
This time, observing more carefully, Deng Youning even saw his socks, which were made of satin.
It also further verified my guess.
