Chapter 464 Regret
Chapter 464 Regret
The ideas in Long Teng and Long Haotian's minds were so beautiful that they made them look forward to it very much.
Especially Long Haotian, when he thought that he could still stay with Xu Yuexi forever, he couldn't wait to go back to the palace and write a letter of marriage.
On the other hand, Long Teng, after careful consideration, also wrote a letter. Later, Long Teng sent an envoy who was absolutely loyal and reliable to him, carrying these two heavy letters, to the Kingdom of Saint Jersey without stopping.
Let’s not talk about how Xu Fengyu would react after seeing the two letters. Let’s just say that since the envoy received this task, his heart has been filled with bitterness and resentment.
To be honest, following such a monarch is really tiring and stressful.
In fact, he didn't need to go to Saint Ze to know that this would never work. Not to mention the King of Saint Ze, if it were him, he would not marry his beloved daughter to a man like his own emperor.
After all, if a man can't even be loyal to his wife, what's the use of him?
The thing that this world lacks the most is men. A married man is already cheap. And a man like their emperor who has bad behavior, who is already married but shameless, disregards male ethics, and is fickle, is despised by even the ministers. Which woman would like him?
Not to mention that the other party is a princess of a powerful country, a goddess who appears once in hundreds of years. How could he come and go at will, divorce her if he wants, or marry her if he wants?
If he were to say, his master just likes to act up!
Obviously he already has such a good daughter-in-law, who is both a princess of a powerful country and a goddess with magical powers. However, his master does not flatter or coax her, but instead acts like a father-in-law, being dissatisfied with this and that.
If he treated his daughter-in-law sincerely, would he lose out? Why didn't he learn from the emperor of Fengying country?
And his emperor is also a muddleheaded man who is incompetent.
He already has a stunningly beautiful and outstanding wife, but he doesn't know how to cherish her. He actually likes the ordinary daughter of the prime minister. I really don't know what he is thinking. Even a fool can tell the difference between the good and the bad, but he can't tell the difference. Is his vision and brain blinded by lard?
But these two masters were still blindly confident, thinking that they could marry the princess again if they paid a little more dowry. How could a princess from a powerful country lack that little dowry?
If they had thought about their stupid actions carefully, they would have known what the result would be. But these two masters were so stubborn that they would not listen to their advice, so he could only accept his fate and run.
The fact was just as the envoy expected. When Xu Fengyu saw the marriage proposal, he uttered three words full of contempt and disdain: "What a waste!"
He not only said this, but also did it. He picked up the brush on the table, dipped it in ink, and wrote the same three words on the exquisite marriage book in a flamboyant and flamboyant manner.
After writing it, he threw the marriage letter back to the envoy without even looking at it, and then sent someone to drive the envoy out of the palace.
The envoy had no choice but to return to his country in disgrace.
Long Haotian was waiting for the result with great anticipation. After taking the letter from the envoy and seeing the three words in Xu Fengyu's reply, his pupils suddenly shrank and his heart went cold.
There is absolutely no possibility for him and her!
This cruel reality was like a bolt from the blue to Long Haotian, who had been full of expectations. It made him dizzy and the world was spinning. His body swayed and he fell straight backwards.
After an unknown amount of time, when Long Haotian slowly opened his eyes again, the first thing that caught his eye was Long Teng's face full of sadness and sorrow.
Long Teng sat quietly beside his bed, his head slightly lowered, his hands limply placed on his knees. He looked like a dead tree that had lost its vitality, extremely haggard and lonely.
Long Teng at this moment was completely different from his usual high-spirited and majestic image.
His face seemed to have aged ten years overnight. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were as deep as ravines, and his once bright eyes were now bloodshot, revealing endless fatigue and sadness.
Especially the white hair on his head, which were increasing like snowflakes, and each one was an accusation of sadness.
"Father, what happened to this minister?"
"My son, it is your father who has let you down. Your father was wrong!" Long Teng said with a sob.
Then Long Teng began to cry sadly.
Only then did Long Haotian realize that the reason he had been childless for so many years was because he had a cold body since childhood.
Although this innate coldness did not cause much trouble or substantial damage to his health, and he was no different from an ordinary person on weekdays, it would affect his reproduction.
No wonder his father had arranged for someone to take good care of his health since he was a child. After he married Xu Yuexi, Xu Yuexi also took great care of him and often gave him good tonics. Under such careful care, his originally damaged body had gradually recovered and was about to be fully restored.
But who would have known that in the past two years, Zheng Hong and Li Jia secretly gave him a sterilizing drug, and he would never have children again.
It can be said that Zheng Hong can truly be called an extremely intelligent person!
He knew that the emperor's meals would be tested for poison first, and that an imperial physician would come to check his pulse every day. With such strict precautions, it would be difficult to attack the emperor directly.
So he thought of a very clever roundabout plan. He carefully ground the drug that could cause a person to be extinct into a fine powder, and skillfully mixed it into the refreshing incense that Long Haotian usually used.
Not only that, Zheng Hong also secretly instructed Li Jia to often give Long Haotian some food that interacted with the drug to stimulate the effect of the drug. In this way, day after day, through this seemingly subtle method, it gradually affected Long Haotian's body and finally successfully achieved the goal of making him extinct.
If Long Haotian had not suddenly fainted due to anger, causing his pulse to become abnormal, which aroused Long Teng's suspicion and led to an in-depth and thorough investigation, this matter would probably never have been known to anyone.
When Long Haotian suddenly heard the news, he found it hard to accept it for a while, and he fainted again out of excitement.
But no matter what, he still has to face what he has to face!
"Father, please send someone to find Princess Wuyou. She is a goddess with great medical skills and a miraculous medicine. She will definitely be able to cure me."
"My son, it's useless! Your father has already sent people to look for her everywhere, but since she left on the day she was crowned queen, no one has seen her since."
At this point, Long Teng and Long Haotian were filled with regret and felt bad for what they had done.
However, fate did not seem to let them off easily. Things that made them feel desperate and regretful happened one after another, leaving them no chance to breathe.
Immediately after Saint Jersey rejected their request for another marriage, it ruthlessly severed all ties with Dragon Heart Kingdom.
And this is just the beginning.
Afterwards, other countries such as Lieyan, Fengying, Biluo, Qingcheng, Manluo, and Lengyue also cut off their contacts with Longxin like Saint Jersey. For a time, Longxin fell into an unprecedented state of isolation.
However, God didn't seem to let them go.
In the days that followed, Longxin Kingdom suffered constant natural disasters, either floods, droughts, or insect plagues. Long Teng had already died of illness in regret, and Long Haotian was struggling with regret.
Without Long Teng's support, Long Haotian felt helpless in the face of the series of natural disasters. The people complained about him, and the ministers were extremely disappointed in him. But he himself regretted all the time, regretting how he treated Xu Yuexi.
Only then did he understand that those who were rejected by the goddess would be severely punished by God.
Finally, after careful consideration, Long Haotian made a major decision - to submit to Saint Jersey and directly hand over Longxin Kingdom to Xu Fengyu for governance! He put everything aside and took his personal attendant on the long journey to find Xu Yuexi.
