Chapter 463 Tang Ning's Ecstasy
Canglang was shocked. Although he did not follow the governor to the Forbidden Garden, he knew what was happening in the palace.
He just thought that the governor used the excuse of making a scene in the Forbidden Garden in order to bring out Doctor Jiang. He didn't expect that when the governor fought with Liu Tong'en, he also placed a tracking device.
Canglang quickly responded and went out to explain.
While applying medicine to Xiao Yan, Tang Ning asked in a low voice, "Didn't my brother say that Liu Tongen hasn't left the capital for a long time?"
Realizing that Emperor An's private soldiers might be in Liu Tong'en's hands, they sent people to keep an eye on him. However, there were many things going on in the capital during this period, and Liu Tong'en had not left the capital for a long time. Moreover, he was a cautious person and would become suspicious if he noticed something wrong, so they did not dare to send people to follow him too closely.
Xiao Yan raised his hands with a lazy look on his face. "He didn't leave the capital because nothing serious happened in the palace. If something happened and someone threatened Emperor An's throne, he would definitely leave the capital."
Unless Emperor An's private troops are not in his hands.
"Liu Tong'en is honest and taciturn, and doesn't socialize with others. After his wife died at an early age, his only son was raised in the clan's territory. He doesn't have many close acquaintances in the capital, and his mansion is so clean that there are only a few servants. It would be very difficult for me to send someone to get close to him or do anything to him."
Feng Lai brought the news last night. He guessed that after Liu Tongen made suggestions to Emperor An, he realized that today was a rare opportunity.
He took advantage of the situation and made a scene in front of Emperor An, and even broke into the Forbidden Garden and fought with Liu Tong'en with justification. Even if Liu Tong'en had any doubts, he would only suspect that he was targeting Doctor Jiang and would not think of anything else.
"I just hope Liu Tongen won't let me down." Xiao Yan said.
"Of course not, brother, you will definitely get what you want."
Tang Ning knew what Xiao Yan was thinking, and also knew that he had to leave today. She was not naive enough to say that Xiao Yan should not trust Emperor An with his own safety. The hideous scars on his body showed how difficult it was for him to get to where he is today.
When planning world affairs, if you are not careful, you will be doomed.
It took years of planning to get to where we are today, and we can't make any mistakes.
Tang Ning's face was a little pale, but he was extremely calm. He used a handkerchief to wipe the blood off Xiao Yan's waist and back, and then approached with medicine.
"Brother, bear with it."
The powder fell on the wound, irritating it. Xiao Yan's body suddenly tensed up, and he grabbed the edge of the table with his hands.
Tang Ning pursed her lips, moved more gently, but moved faster as she took the clean white cloth prepared beside her and re-bandaged Xiao Yan's wound.
After covering up the blood on half of his body, she took a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat from Xiao Yan's forehead.
"But it hurts so much, do you want some painkillers?"
Xiao Yan's lips turned pale: "No, I'm fine." He held Tang Ning's cold hand and said: "Don't be afraid, they are just superficial injuries, they will be fine after some rest."
Seeing that her hands were stained with blood, Xiao Yan pulled her to sit beside him, took the handkerchief and wiped the blood off her hands, but the blood stained her fingertips and could not be wiped clean.
It was like white jade stained with dust, and the dried bloodstains were particularly unsightly, causing Xiao Yan to look gloomy.
"When I first met you, I promised you peace and happiness, but I never thought I'd keep breaking my promise. You've always seen these bad things with me, seeing blood every day, and being stained with blood..."
Tang Ning was stunned for a moment, then softened her brows at the look of disgust on his face: "But I'm very happy now."
She took Xiao Yan's hand and pressed her hand on his palm.
Xiao Yan's fingers were much longer than hers, slender but with distinct joints, while hers, on the other hand, were soft and fleshy.
Tang Ning said seriously, "I've been thankful countless times for meeting my brother at the foot of Lingyun Temple. I'm also incredibly grateful to God for allowing me to meet my little brother again. Although being with my brother has been full of twists and turns, and there haven't been peaceful years, I feel incredibly alive, more truly alive than ever before."
She is no longer so confused and ignorant to be deceived, and no longer so foolish and ridiculous to be obsessed with love.
She still has feelings in her heart and likes the people she cares about, but she always remains clear-headed and will not lose herself in this love.
She has never forgotten the misery she once experienced, nor has she forgotten how she got to where she is today. It was her brother who taught her how to love herself, how to distinguish between good and evil, and how to fight back without tormenting herself.
Tang Ning held Xiao Yan's hand and said, "Brother, you may not know this yet, but I got an A+ on the last college test. Although not the best in the academy, I'm still in the top ten."
"Every student in the academy is a proud child of the heavens. Even those from humble backgrounds never give up in their pursuit of knowledge. When A'ru and I first joined them, even though some people still criticized me for founding the academy, saying that coeds were immoral. But now, all the students and teachers in the academy are convinced by me, and even A'ru looks at me differently."
"No one will question us because we are women anymore, and no one will criticize my knowledge because of my female background. Even if one day they can study together with women, it is not impossible."
She cannot achieve equality between men and women, but she may be able to find a way out for women.
Tang Ning looked cheerful, and when he smiled, his eyes seemed to be filled with stars, sparkling with light.
"I've never felt that my brother has broken his promise to me, and I feel very happy now. Although I sometimes feel scared, I still enjoy being with my brother."
Living so vividly and fully.
The little girl's words were straightforward and sincere, and her smile was as bright as the sun.
Xiao Yan held her slender white jade hand that was squeezed into his palm, and listened to her confident and generous appearance when she spoke. The self-loathing that had risen in an instant melted away like ice and snow, and he couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.
"You are good at coaxing people."
His mouth felt like it had drunk honey, and the love potion had made him dizzy.
Tang Ning smiled and leaned on his shoulder: "I was just trying to please my brother. When my brother said that I could be disrespectful, I thought that my brother was a kind person with a good heart."
As soon as she looked up, she could see his beautiful jaw and profile. His skin was cold and white, his eyebrows and eyes were noble, and his thin lips, although a little pale, were even more eye-catching.
Tang Ning couldn't help but laugh: "Brother, you don't know this, but when I first saw you, I thought, how could there be such a good-looking person in this world? He's just a little fierce and has a bad reputation. His eyes can scare a child to tears with just a glance."
Xiao Yan glanced at her when he heard this: "So you secretly criticize me like this?"
He reached out to grab the soft flesh on Tang Ning's waist, and she quickly begged for mercy with a smile.
"I'm not criticizing you, I'm praising you for being pretty..."
Xiao Yan tickled her waist, and Tang Ning instantly fell over laughing.
The originally solemn atmosphere collapsed in an instant. The laughter coming from the Yueli Terrace made Jinyun outside grab Tianqing who wanted to enter.
"Come back in later."
Tianqing glanced inside and thought that the matter of hating the Prince was not that important, so he retreated to the side with Jinyun.
