Chapter 255 He is not destined to be the emperor
When he heard the news, he felt as if something had hit him hard deep in his heart, and his eyes instantly became moist.
"My parents? They...where are they now?" Xiao Kai's voice trembled a little, with a hint of anxiety and expectation.
He grasped the corner of Gu Yebei's clothes tightly, as if he was afraid that the other party would suddenly disappear.
At this moment, he just wanted to know everything about his parents and was eager to reunite with them.
They were now rushing towards the Imperial City, but due to a series of unexpected incidents along the way, their journey was delayed for several days. However, they should be arriving at the Imperial City soon.
Having said this, Gu Yebei paused for a moment, took a deep breath, as if trying to calm some emotion in his heart.
Then, something flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but ask with concern: "I heard from Nini that you were infected with corpse poison. Fortunately, she has found the antidote now. So these days, Nini has been busy helping you detoxify."
"I heard that we just completed your second detoxification course this morning. Now there is only one course left. When you finish the last course, the corpse poison in your body will be completely eliminated. You must cooperate with your sister."
Gu Yebei instructed Xiaokai.
"Grandpa, I know this."
Xiaokai nodded meekly.
Gu Yebei stared at the grandson in front of him who was already as tall as him, with a fair complexion and delicate features, and felt very pleased.
Next, Gu Yebei was filled with emotion. Thinking of what Jiang Yimo had told him about the suffering and torture Xiaokai had endured in his childhood, his heart was filled with love and pity for him.
At the same time, I feel proud and relieved that he was able to stand firm.
Gu Yebei patted Xiaokai's shoulder gently and said earnestly: "My child, you have suffered a lot these years. But fortunately, everything is over. When the corpse poison in your body is completely eliminated, you can live a healthy and happy life like other children."
“No matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, remember to face them bravely. Grandpa will always support you.
Xiaokai looked at the kindness and concern in Gu Yebei's eyes and was so moved that tears filled his eyes.
He held Gu Yebei's hand tightly and said firmly: "Grandpa, don't worry! I will definitely work hard to make myself stronger and live up to your expectations!
Gu Yebei nodded with satisfaction, then pulled Xiaokai to sit down and asked him in detail about his recent physical condition and study. The two chatted happily, as if they had forgotten all their worries and sorrows.
The night sky is like a huge piece of black velvet, dotted with countless twinkling stars, which are like naughty elves, blinking their eyes.
At this moment, the Evil King's Palace, shrouded in darkness, was quiet and peaceful.
The moonlight sprinkled in the courtyard like water, reflecting a silvery glow; the breeze gently touched the leaves, making a rustling sound, as if nature was also cheering for this beautiful moment.
Jiang Yimo was happily busy in the kitchen. She wanted to celebrate her reunion with her grandfather with the delicious food she cooked herself.
After careful preparation, one after another delicious dishes came out of the pot: fragrant fish head with chopped pepper, tender and smooth shredded pork with fish flavor, crispy skin and tender meat of cellar chicken, refreshing and delicious home-cooked stir-fried vegetables and crispy cold-mixed black fungus, etc.
These delicacies are not only a delicious enjoyment, but also contain Jiang Yimo's deep respect and love for her grandfather.
When Jiang Yimo, Qingzhu and others brought the sumptuous meals to the table, the whole house was immediately filled with the rich aroma of the food.
The tempting smell flows into everyone's nose like a clear spring, making people salivate.
Everyone sat around the table, their eyes revealing anticipation and excitement, and they couldn't wait to taste this sumptuous dinner.
Those who will be dining at the same table with Jiang Yimo tonight will definitely include important figures such as Feng Wuhen, Gu Yebei, Gu Yankai, Xiaoxi and Dr. Nanqiao.
After everyone was seated, Jiang Yimo gave the order: "Let's eat!" Then everyone began to feast.
However, among everyone present, except Gu Yebei and Feng Wuhen who had tasted the food cooked by Jiang Yimo, everyone else was eating the food cooked by Jiang Yimo for the first time.
Especially the greedy doctor Nan Qiao, his eyes lit up as if he had discovered a new world.
Ever since he accidentally tasted the delicious food cooked by Jiang Yimo last time, he has been obsessed with the unique taste and has been longing to enjoy it again.
For Gu Yebei, although he was often able to taste the delicious meals cooked by his granddaughter in modern times, this was the first time he tasted the familiar taste of home again after coming here for three years.
This feeling made him extremely happy, as if all his fatigue and worries disappeared in an instant.
Today was a double happiness - not only did he reunite with his beloved granddaughter Nini, but he also met the original owner's grandson.
His joy was so overwhelming that he couldn't help but drink a few more glasses of wine during dinner.
Coincidentally, the same is true for Feng Wuhen.
Ever since he experienced Jiang Yimo's superb cooking skills, he has been deeply addicted to it and unable to extricate himself. It is truly precious that he can taste her carefully prepared dishes again this time.
As for the others, they were even more impressed by Jiang Yimo's craftsmanship and praised her highly.
While enjoying the satisfaction brought by the delicious food, they secretly felt fortunate to have the opportunity to feast on it.
In such a joyful and peaceful atmosphere, everyone's face is filled with happy smiles.
……
At this moment, in another place, in King You’s mansion.
King You stood on a small and exquisite arched bridge in the courtyard with a solemn and gloomy expression, looking at the dark sky in the distance.
In recent times, the various branch camps of the Hundred Ghosts Sect under his control have suffered heavy losses one after another - Feng Wuhen and Jiang Yimo have successfully destroyed many of their nests many times and killed a large number of their men!
As a result, not only did King You suffer huge economic losses, but he also lost face and his prestige was severely damaged!
Whenever I think of this, I grit my teeth and feel extremely angry: "Damn it! Feng Wuhen and Jiang Yimo are so despicable! I really want to tear them into pieces immediately to relieve the hatred in my heart..."
However, the reality is always contrary to one's wishes, which makes people extremely frustrated!
Although he had sent elite assassins to assassinate Feng Wuhen and Jiang Yimo many times, the results were all failures without exception, and each time he returned empty-handed with nothing to gain...
The assassination plan of the old emperor that was carefully planned and executed by Na Mei'er in the palace a few days ago ended in failure!
This is really unexpected!
I thought everything was well planned, but who could have expected things to develop to that point? Perhaps it was just a trick of fate...
He is not destined to be emperor!
