Translator: Vesper
Nangong Che had never suffered from such humiliation in public before and his gentle expression instantly turned gloomy.
“Prince Nangong, please. Take this old man and Zhu Wei back to the Great General’s Residence.” Qiao Tian Chang ignored the ugly look from Nangong Che and said indifferently.
“Old man, please come with us.” Qing Xue walked to the side of the old man and told him softly.
As for Qing Xuan, he showed himself from the dark and took Zhu Wei with him, disappearing without a trace in a flash.
After they left, Qiao Tian Chang looked at Nangong Che, “Does Prince Nangong think that our Emperor is not worthy to meet you?”
Nangong Che almost vomited blood. If he really expressed it that way, then the purpose of him coming here would not only fail, he would also turn Ling and Xiao into old-time enemies. This was not what he wanted to see.
“Great General, that is being too grave. I naturally don’t mean that.”
“That’s good. Then, Prince Nangong, please.” Qiao Tian Chang gestured to him and turned to look at Ning Meng Yao afterward, “Do you want to follow me to the Palace or do you want to head back first?” He knew that Ning Meng Yao didn’t like the Palace.
“I’ll go with you.” She had the most say in this matter so she had better follow him.
“Very well, let’s go.”
There was no way out even if Nangong Che refused now. He could only follow without a choice.
In the Palace, when Xiao Qi Feng heard the report, he was somewhat speechless. They had just got to know about the news but it had already been blown out by Ning Meng Yao. He didn’t know whether to say it or not but Ning Meng Yao was actually a lucky star for Xiao Empire?
Knowing that they would be arriving soon, Xiao Qi Feng didn’t feel anxious anymore, “Go and investigate everything about Zhu Wei,” It was naturally better to make something big out of it. If he doesn’t, how could he make Nangong Che compensate for losses?
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Very soon, news of Qiao Tian Chang and the rest asking to seek the Emperor’s approval for the visit.
After the three of them entered the Imperial Study Room, “Greetings, Your Majesty.”
“You may rise.” Xiao Qi Feng waved his hands and his line of sight fell on Nangong Che. He raised his eyebrows slightly, “This is Prince Nangong? Why does he look different from what I remember? Could it be that I have remembered wrongly?”
“Prince Nangong probably felt embarrassed to meet people so he changed his appearance.” Ning Meng Yao responded faintly, but it did not sound pleasant.
Nangong Che’s face fell. When he arrived, he had forgotten to remove his mask. These two people were mocking him one after another and it caused him to be very passive.
Changing his appearance could mean something big or small, it depended on how they view it.
“I’ve let your Majesty seen a joke. I changed my appearance to save trouble.” Nangong Che said with a smile. Even he couldn’t believe his own explanation.
Xiao Qi Feng raised his eyebrows and asked without any thoughts, “You have saved much trouble indeed. If not for the Minister’s son making trouble, I would not have known Prince Nangong is here in Xiao Empire.”
When Nangong Che’s hands froze. This person sure knows how to mock someone.
After he removed his mask, he revealed his handsome complexion. Ning Meng Yao raised her brows slightly. The face of his was indeed annoying.
“Your Majesty, regarding Zhu Wei......”
“I’ve already sent someone to investigate it. If a person holding a position breaks the law, his citizens are equally guilty. Prince Nangong should be able to understand where I’m coming from.” Xiao Qi Feng interrupted Nangong Che with a smile. The words he has said left no way for Nangong Che to retort.
Nangong Che nodded calmly, “Of course I do.”
“Since that is so, Prince Nangong should quietly wait until the investigation is completed. If it was not the Minister’s son’s doing, I will give Prince Nangong an explanation. But if it was his doing, I hope that Prince Nangong will be able to give an explanation to me and my people.” Xiao Qi Feng said with a beam.
Nangong Che’s kept a straight face but his complexion was very ugly.
They glared at each other in the Imperial Study Room, and after a few hours, someone from the Great General’s Residence arrived.
That person was Qing Xuan, “Greetings, Your Majesty.”
“You may rise, what’s the matter?”
“An assassin snuck into the Great General’s Residence to assassinate that wronged old man. We have caught that person.”
Xiao Qi Feng’s face sunk slightly when he heard, “Bring him here.” They dared to be so violent in another country. He had enough
Nangong Che’s head throbbed. With something happening at a time like this, that attack would definitely be pointed towards them.
