362 Worry
“I’m not sure about the details. The emperor wants you to go back to Laifu Village and interact more with Lian Xin. Let’s see what he’s thinking,” the Empress Dowager said.
Ning Yue did not say anything. Jiang Ying would be the first to disagree if she was asked to interact with Lian Xin! She could not take the initiative to go back while Jiang Ying was in prison.
“Imperial Grandmother, thank you for specially coming over to tell me about this. I’ll think of a way.” Ning Yue did not say if she would come into contact with Lian Xin, and the Empress Dowager did not ask further.
“Alright. By the way, this matter is a secret. Don’t spread it,” the empress dowager instructed Ning Yue. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have come out personally tonight.
After the empress dowager left, Ning Yue couldn’t fall asleep no matter what. She tossed and turned all night.
It was finally dawn when Ning Yue woke up with two dark circles under her eyes.
After washing up, they arrived at the dining room. Yuan Hui had already sent someone to buy breakfast.
“You’re up? Come, have some breakfast first,” Yuan Hui said.
“Uncle, the Empress Dowager came to look for me last night,” Ning Yue said.
“I heard the commotion. I felt that she must have something to say to you so late at night, so I didn’t come out,” Yuan Hui explained.
“Yes, she told me something.” Ning Yue told Yuan Hui everything the empress dowager had said last night.
Yuan Hui frowned when he heard this.
Ever since he knew that Ning Yue was the goddess in the dream of the Black City World Wargod, he had already guessed that it was only a matter of time before the Black City Kingdom invaded the Great Yun Nation.
However, he did not expect it to be so soon.
“Do you have any thoughts?” Yuan Hui asked Ning Yue.
“I’m wondering what Lian Xin is thinking. He’s in Laifu Village now. Isn’t he afraid that Prince Jin will arrest him?” Ning Yue asked.
“If he was afraid, he wouldn’t have gone over,” Yuan Hui said.
It had to be said that he still had a certain understanding of Lian Xin. Otherwise, he would have been his opponent for so many years for nothing.
“Sigh, this matter is giving me a headache,” Ning Yue said.
Yuan Hui smiled. “Don’t worry. With me around, who dares to force you to do something you don’t want to do? You’re the princess of Russia. Who dares to make you suffer? If Lian Xin dares to use this reason to send troops, Russia will definitely not let him off!”
“Has Russia fought the Black City Kingdom?” Ning Yue asked again.
Yuan Hui nodded. “Yes. Why?”
“Lian Xin should know that if he uses this excuse to send troops, the Black City Kingdom will face the anger of Russia at the same time. Isn’t he afraid of being attacked from both sides?”
The Dragon Scale Army of Russia was brave and good at fighting. If they fought them, Lian Xin would suffer.
“Who knows what he’s thinking? He’s simply crazy. His thinking can’t compare to ordinary people,” Yuan Hui said angrily.
“Crazy?” Ning Yue looked at Yuan Hui in confusion.
“Let me ask you, what will a normal person do when they see a waterhole ahead?” Yuan Hui asked Ning Yue.
Ning Yue did not know what Yuan Hui meant by asking this question, but she still replied honestly, “Either cross it or take a detour.”
“Yes, you’re talking about what normal people do. I’ll explain his actions with modern human supplies. He’ll wear a raincoat and an oxygen mask, and come straight over.”
Yuan Hui’s words made Ning Yue’s eyes widen.
“Is that necessary?” Ning Yue asked. He still had to wear a raincoat and oxygen mask. “Is this person crazy?! Can’t he just walk around it?”
“I think so too. His brain isn’t normal to begin with,” Yuan Hui said.
Suddenly, something flashed across Ning Yue’s mind, but it happened too quickly, making her lose focus.
“What’s wrong?” Yuan Hui couldn’t help but ask when he saw Ning Yue’s strange expression.
“Nothing. By the way, Uncle, did you investigate the Palace Master of the Demon Palace and Lian Xin?” Ning Yue asked.
“I did. There should be a result tomorrow,” Yuan Hui said.
Ning Yue nodded and began to eat breakfast. There were too many things to do. She had to start work after eating.
Not long after, the eunuch from the palace arrived and said that the emperor had asked Ning Yue to enter the palace.
This was because the Black City Kingdom had used the excuse of Lian Xin begging to marry Ning Yue to go to the Great Yun Nation, making Yuan Hui very worried about Ning Yue’s safety.
He insisted that Ning Yue bring the guards into the palace. The eunuch was almost frightened to death. There were no such rules in the palace.
The eunuch repeatedly promised Yuan Hui that nothing would happen to Ning Yue in the palace.
In the end, Yuan Hui’s words stumped the eunuch. “What about outside the palace? If anything happens, will you exchange your emperor’s head for it?”
