Fortunate Young Gentleman

In a palace in Xiaowan Palace, Tang Yu held Tang Yaoyao and Xiaoxiao's hands, saying something earnestly, with a smile on her face.

I don't know what they said, Tang Yaoyao blushed and shook her head. Although Tang Yu's expression was a little regretful, she still comforted her gently.

Elsewhere, Tang Shui looked at Tang Ning with surprise and asked, "Have you really become the ruler of those countries?"

Tang Ning looked at her unhappily. All this was because of them. Even if they could send a message back, he wouldn't have to travel thousands of miles to the Western Regions to suffer such a punishment.

Of course, he also knew that his idea was a bit unreasonable. After all, judging from the time, even if they sent a message back, Tang Ning would have been no longer in the capital.

"Let's not talk about this." Tang Ning waved her hand, thinking of the purpose of her coming to the Western Regions this time, and asked: "Have you found your parents?"

Tang Shui nodded, then shook his head, his eyelids drooping slightly, and said: "They died more than 20 years ago."

"I'm sorry." Seeing her expression was a little lost, Tang Ning's face changed, and he hurriedly changed the subject: "By the way, Tang Jing and his wife went to Jiangnan. Before they left, they asked me to tell you this news."

Although Tang Jing and his wife were her adoptive parents, they were closer to her than their own daughter. Hearing this, Tang Shui suppressed the sadness and loss in her heart, and immediately looked at him and asked: "Isn't Dad a secretary of the Central Secretariat? How did he go to Jiangnan? Was he transferred by the court?"

During the time when the two left Beijing for the Western Regions, many things happened in the capital, and the Tang family also experienced earth-shaking changes. Tang Ning didn't know how to talk about it for a while.

He thought for a long time before looking at her and explaining, "During the days when you were away, something happened in the Tang family. He was dismissed from his post and is now an ordinary citizen."

"Dad was dismissed?" Tang Shui was shocked and asked, "Dad has always abided by the law. How could this happen? What about the others?"

"The others..." Tang Ning looked at her and finally sighed and said, "Dead."

"Dead, dead..."

Not only Tang Shui, but even Tang Yu's body trembled violently. She walked over quickly and asked, "Ning'er, what did you say just now?"

In order to prevent them from misunderstanding him, Tang Ning took a deep breath, He explained, "During the time you were away from the capital, many things happened in the capital. The Tang family colluded with Concubine Tang Hui, bribed the maids around His Majesty, and poisoned His Majesty with the intention of regicide and treason. After the incident, Tang Huai and his brothers were executed, and Concubine Tang Hui hanged herself in the palace. Because Tang Jing did not participate in the incident, he was able to save his life, but he was also dismissed from his official position and will never be employed again..."

Tang Shui and Tang Yu were pale. They knew that Tang Ning would not lie to them. However, they grew up in the Tang family since they were young. The Tang family had great significance to them. When they heard about the end of the Tang family, they couldn't help but feel nervous and burst into tears.

Especially Tang Yu, although the Tang family did many things that made her sad and disappointed, it was her home after all, the home that gave birth to her and raised her.

Tang Ning stood beside them and couldn't say anything to comfort them at this moment.

Hearing the news of her brother and sister's death, Tang Yu's face was covered with tears, and she said in a trembling voice: "They were wrong from the beginning, they were wrong from the beginning..."

Tang Yaoyao and Xiaoxiao came over and comforted her softly.

At this time, Tang Ning was not good at speaking, but just sighed in her heart, hoping that they would cheer up as soon as possible.

At a certain moment, Mr. Xu walked in from the door, walked to Tang Ning, and said: "Please trouble Lord Tang and Xu to go, the king has been waiting for a long time..."

Tang Ning looked at Tang Yu and Tang Shui, shook his head and said: "Tang is a little inconvenient now, and I will visit the king later."

Tang Yu wiped her tears, looked at Tang Ning, and said: "Mom is fine, you go quickly, don't let your father wait for too long."

Tang Ning's body shook, stared at her in a daze, and said in surprise: "My father?"

...

Tang Ning knew very little about his father who he had never met in this world.

He was once a talented man from Jiangnan. When he went to Beijing for the exam, he met and fell in love with his mother.

At that time, the Tang family needed to make an important political marriage through his mother. In order to resist the family, the two embarked on the road of elopement.

What happened later was known to everyone. His mother was captured by the Tang family and his father was missing. Although his mother insisted that he was still alive, Tang Ning was not optimistic about this.

He never thought that his father was actually the ruler of Xiaowan?

Then, Tang Ning learned everything from Tang Yu.

More than 20 years ago, the reason why they were able to escape all the way west to Lingzhou under the arrest of the Tang family and the court was because of the help of a friend.

And their friend was the Xiaowan prince who was studying in the Imperial Academy at the time, and also Tang Shui's father.

Although the Xiaowan delegation helped them to confuse all the way, it eventually failed to hide from the minions of the Chen court. When the Tang family brought people to find them, they had a fierce conflict with the delegation.

In that conflict, his mother was taken back to the Tang family. Tang Shui's parents died. Before they died, they gave the seal of the king to his best friend, Tang Ning's father.

He was hunted down by the Tang family and finally escaped back to the Western Regions. With the seal of the king in his hand, he successfully became the king of Xiaowan with several Xiaowan envoys.

Tang Ning knew everything that happened next. All the doubts in his heart were completely solved.

He knew why Xiaowan was so hostile to the State of Chen, and why Mr. Xu was undercover beside King Kang to encourage him to rebel.

This was revenge against the Emperor Chen, revenge for his meddling in the past.

At this moment, all of Tang Ning's doubts seemed to be answered.

Tang Yu looked at him and said, "Go quickly, your father has been thinking about you."

As he and Mr. Xu walked deeper into the palace, Tang Ning was silent for a long time before asking, "Is this the reason why you are undercover beside King Kang?"

Mr. Xu did not deny it and said, "The king has always thought that you have met with an accident. He has led us to fight north and south for many years, constantly developing and strengthening Xiaowan, just to bring his wife back one day."

He looked at Tang Ning and said, "But we didn't expect... that the young king did this faster than us."

After learning all this, Tang Ning did not speak again.

Even he could not recover from this news quickly.

Chen State's biggest enemy now, the ruler of Xiaowan State in the Western Region, is actually his father in this world. He was the one who instigated the rebellion of King Kang and the border invasion of Xiaowan...

The two of them turned a corner again, and Mr. Xu pointed to a palace in front of them and said, "It's just in front..."

At this time, in the palace he pointed to, a middle-aged man in a blue Confucian robe stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back.

The walls of the palace were covered with calligraphy and paintings. If Tang Ning saw the content of the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, he would be a little surprised, because the poems written on the calligraphy and paintings were all moved from another world by him a few years ago.

"Who are you..." The middle-aged man looked ahead and said softly, "After so many years, the door has finally opened..."
