th.Zhao Xuanji also noticed his own agitation.He took a deep breath. Years of navigating the treacherous waters of the imperial court had honed his ability to regain composure in the face of adversity...Chapter 1616: Xiao Tiannan's Guilt

After making up his mind, Xiao Tiannan kicked the scout with one foot and roared angrily: "Do you dare to say such things You dare to say that even this official doesn't dare to listen, what is your intention!"

The scout lay on the ground, gnashing his teeth and staring at Xiao Tiannan with hatred. He wished he could draw his sword and stab Xiao Tiannan through the heart.

It's he who forces me to say it. After I said it, because it involved too much, he got angry at me for dragging him into it out of fear.

What a dirty scoundrel, shameless!

No matter how displeased the scout felt, Xiao Tiannan still personally led him to Yelü Shenxuan at the first opportunity.

This time, the scout delivered Yelu Man's handwritten letter to Yelu Shenxuan.

Yelü Shenxuan, upon learning that the letter was personally written by Yelü Manhuang, dared not delay. He immediately opened it and read it.

For just a moment, Yelu Shenxuan suddenly rose to his feet, his face drastically changing.

Bystanders were astonished and bewildered, for they rarely saw Yelu Shenxuan display such an out-of-character reaction.

While Xiao Tiannan knew the truth in his heart, he lowered his head and dared not reveal any expression for half a day.

This matter was simply too big and too sudden. It would have shaken anyone up.

A moment later, Yelu Shenxuan put away the letter and asked the scout, "Who else has seen this letter"

Have you seen it

Then there isn't.

But does that count if I've heard about it

The scout glanced at Xiao Tiannan, then decided it was best not to cause any trouble, and replied, "No."

No one has ever read this letter, so it's not really a deception, is it

The scout thus comforted himself in his heart.

"Go and collect your reward."

Yelü Shenxuan waved his hand, dismissing the conflicted scout. Then he sat down, his face changing expressions, deep in thought.

Xiao Tiannan was extremely conflicted.

He really wanted to bring up the topic, but he couldn't directly mention that he knew about it. Otherwise, wouldn't it be like having no silver, yet three hundred taels on display But remaining silent was definitely not a good solution either.

Just when Xiao Tiannan was struggling, Yelu Shenxuan suddenly spoke: "The news from Langting, Father... is about to die."

Xiao Tiannan raised his head, the astonishment and shock on his face, even the best actor would have to admire such godlike acting.

Xiao Tiannan, overwhelmed with joy, let out an astonished cry. His face was filled with disbelief.

At the same time, he felt a little guilty in his heart.

Yelü Shenxuan didn't hide it, he directly spoke about this matter, showing that Yelü Shenxuan truly regarded himself as his confidant. However, he... betrayed him.

The guilty thought only appeared for a second before being immediately extinguished. Xiao Tiannan added, “At this crucial moment, did the Sovereign truly insist on holding on”

Taking a deep breath, Yelü Shenxuan said: "The letter is indeed from my father. However, the handwriting is messy and superficial, clearly showing he was struggling when writing it. And judging by the content, most of the day my father spends in a coma now. Medicine and stones are no longer effective; he's just clinging to his last breath. When I get back... But, my father could also return to the embrace of Longevity Heaven at any time."

Raising his head, Yelü Shenxuan stared at Xiao Tiannan, his eyes even turning red.

"Xiao Tiannan, what should I do"

Xiao Tiannan was made uneasy by the look in his eyes, but he still gritted his teeth and said: "Your Highness, this matter is too important, I dare not speak rashly."

"Why didn't you urge me to return to the Wolf Den first"

Yelü Shenxuan said meaningfully, "Just say what you have to say. No matter what you say, I won't blame you."re, especially after learning that these Liao people were of noble status, he was even more afraid to meddle.So Zheng Bao Rong turned a blind eye, allowing the situation to escalate to this point.Unti...
