Chapter 257: Kill Her
These days, little Li Shen has been living very well in the Changle Palace.
Although he was a small slave, everyone who knew his true identity took good care of him.
During the day, Deng Yan'an, who had once won the top spot in the imperial examination in Dongji, would teach him to read.
When Xiu Ming and Ying Shi are not busy, they will teach him some Kung Fu.
Maybe it’s because the Li family has good genes, this child is very smart and can learn anything after being taught once.
I can almost remember all the books I read.
The martial arts moves he learned were also exceptionally solid, as if he was born with a natural martial arts talent.
This surprised everyone.
Li Tianzhuo and Deng Youning also raised him to be plump and white.
In just a few days, the child gained several pounds and his face had noticeable flesh on it.
Children also recover quickly.
In a flash, he forgot all the suffering he had endured in Prince Yi's mansion.
However, if he was asked if he wanted to go back, he was still afraid of that evil woman Deng Xuelian.
At this time, at the Wang Mansion.
Deng Xuelian has been worried ever since returning from the palace banquet.
These days, she couldn't even eat.
"Lian'er, what's wrong? Eat more. This is what I asked someone to make. It's your favorite food."
King Yi picked up a piece of food for her and advised softly.
"Your Majesty, I have a feeling that Prince Changle wants me to go with him on the autumn hunt. He must have set a trap with my sister Deng Youning, waiting for me to fall into it."
Deng Xuelian was shocked, and a horrified and ferocious expression appeared on her face.
She didn't understand why, even though she had come to hide in Nanxin, Deng Youning still refused to let her go!
King Yi frowned and held her hand:
"Lian'er, are you overthinking?"
"I think Lao Liu just wants you to join the autumn hunt."
"Besides, our father is here. Even if Deng Youning and the others want to harm you, they won't be stupid enough to do it in front of our father!"
Deng Xuelian listened to King Yi's light words and shook her head in doubt.
No, it was very clear from Emperor Nanxin’s attitude towards the two brothers at the palace banquet that day.
If Deng Youning really wanted to harm himself, Emperor Nan Xin would not care.
Just like Li Tianzhuo wants to compete with Prince Yi for the throne, Emperor Nanxin will also side with Li Tianzhuo.
His heart has always been biased.
Since he has never been on King Yi's side, how can he make decisions for himself?
"My Lord, please tell me seriously."
"Are you really going to give up the throne to Prince Changle?"
Deng Xuelian asked seriously.
The reason why she was so good to Prince Yi and used all her tricks and means to seduce his heart was all because she wanted to rely on him to become the queen.
If he gave up the fight for the throne without saying a word, wouldn't all his efforts be wasted?
She must cut her losses in time.
"Lian'er, I want to fight for it, but you can see that my father doesn't give me a chance to fight for it."
"Are you going to rebel like the fourth brother? You saw what happened to him."
"I'm going to lose anyway, so why don't we just live in peace? When the Sixth Prince takes over, he won't kill us all."
King Yi seemed to have accepted his fate.
He was not as capable as Wang Si, and with limited abilities and no ambition, he could only give up.
Deng Xuelian sighed.
Today I finally see through this cowardly king.
When Li Tianzhuo succeeds to the throne, he will certainly not kill him, but the same may not be true for himself.
The grudge between her and Deng Youning can never be resolved.
"Your Highness and Prince Changle have a deep brotherly love, and it is I who am ignorant."
"I really can't eat this meal today. I want to go to the temple to burn some incense and beg for the Buddha's blessing. I hope I don't die too ugly."
Deng Xuelian already wanted to escape.
Before Li Tianzhuo ascends the throne, he should run back to Dongji or go somewhere else.
That way, I could live my life hiding from them and wouldn't be killed by them directly.
And as for the autumn hunting, I absolutely cannot go!
The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.
"What is this that Lian'er is talking about?"
"Old Six has known right from wrong since he was young. If you don't do anything wrong, he will not touch you."
"However, if you want to go to the temple to pray, that's fine. The autumn hunt is almost here, so go and pray in advance that we can win the championship this year."
As Yi Wang said this, he lost all appetite and wanted to pack up and go out with Deng Xuelian.
Unfortunately, just as he had this idea in mind, he was called away by his subordinates, who said that the emperor wanted him to enter the palace.
Deng Xuelian wished he wouldn't follow her.
When you live with King Yi, all your food and clothing will be prepared by them.
She didn't have much money on her, and when she ran away she could only take some jewelry that King Yi bought for her.
She packed a whole bag herself, put on her backpack, and asked the driver to take her to the temple in the suburbs.
She had inquired in advance and found out that there was a temple fair there today, so she could take advantage of the large number of people at the temple and leave Yuncheng directly.
In order to avoid the followers of Prince Yi's palace, she took a detour to the backyard of the temple.
There is a small river behind this.
The water there is fast-flowing and people have drowned there, so few people come here.
She originally thought that there was no one here.
But I heard the voices of two men talking.
"As long as we deal with Prince Changle and Prince Yi, and force the emperor to pass the throne to other royal family members, it will be easy for the Western Frontier Army to attack Nanxin."
"And the best time to get rid of King Changle and King Yi is the autumn hunt three days later."
"That day, you can have the people from the West Camp set up an ambush in the forest in advance!"
"Prince Yi has no special abilities, so it's easy to deal with him. However, Prince Changle is a tough guy, and he has the help of the Dongji people. I'm afraid it will take some effort to deal with him..."
Deng Xuelian heard all the loud conversations between the two men.
Knowing that someone wanted to harm King Yi, she was shocked and felt that her choice to escape was a clear one.
She originally wanted to wait until the two men left before going out, but she never expected that a little monk behind her would discover that she was hiding here.
"Who's there?"
The monk questioned loudly.
Then, he stepped forward and advised: "Lady donor, this is a forbidden area of our temple. The river is very dangerous. Please follow me to the front yard."
Deng Xuelian was almost going crazy with anxiety. She blinked and made gestures to him to be quiet.
But the monk didn't understand at all and kept talking to himself.
Yuan Gu, who was talking with the man in black robe by the river, knew that what they had just said might be exposed, so he quickly stepped forward and pulled both the monk and Deng Xuelian out.
"You guys eavesdropped on us?"
"Tell me, what did you hear?"
He glared at the two men fiercely. His patience was limited. He didn't want to waste time talking to them anymore and just killed the monk first.
Deng Xuelian watched with her own eyes as he pinched the monk's neck and, with a slight force from his wrist, broke the monk's neck.
Just as he was about to strangle Deng Xuelian to death, Deng Xuelian hurriedly replied in panic: "I didn't hear anything. I just arrived and didn't hear anything when the monk saw me."
Yuan Gu’s murderous hand stopped.
He raised his eyebrows disdainfully, and used more force, "Do you think I will believe you?"
"You can't kill me. I am the concubine of King Yi Gangna."
Deng Xuelian revealed her identity in Nanxin in order to intimidate the other party.
Yuan Gu found it ridiculous.
He was planning to kill Prince Yi, so how could he be afraid of Deng Xuelian, a concubine?
