Hearing the eunuchâs words, Ning Yue was even more shocked. Lian Ying had not run away. He had been captured by Lian Xin!
She believed in Jiang Ying and knew that he would definitely not kill anyone, so this matter must have been done by Lian Xin.
Lian Xin did this because she wanted Jiang Ying to die in the Black City Kingdom.
Ning Yue sneered. âLian Xin, letâs not beat around the bush. What exactly do you want?â
Lian Xin smiled and gestured to Dezi. âGet out.â
Dczi immediately walked out with his things.
Soon, only Lian Xin and Ning Yue were left in the entire imperial study.
âNing Yue, you should know very well what 1 want. What I want is you!â Lian Xin said.
He waited day and night and finally brought Ning Yue to the Black City Kingdom.
If he didnât take the opportunity to kill Jiang Ying, he wouldnât be able to get Ning Yue.
âLian Xin, you can lead a horse to water but you canât make him drink. Weâre not the same kind of people. Weâre not suitable to be together,â Ning Yue said.
âWeâre not even together yet, and youâre already saying that weâre not compatible!â Lian Xin was furious.
âOur personalities arc not compatible,â Ning Yue said again.
Lian Xin smiled and asked Ning Yue, âIn what way do you think Iâm not suitable for you? Tell me and Iâll change.â
Ning Yue frowned tightly. She sized up Lian Xin and replied, âWeâre not suitable in any way.â
âYouâre an unscrupulous person who will do anything to achieve your goals. Youâre very suitable to become the emperor, and youâve already reached the position of emperor. Iâm not as obsessed as you. Moreover, Iâm a person who cares about the people. Do you think Iâll be with you?â
Hearing Ning Yueâs answer, Lian Xin smiled again. âWhy not? Who said that the emperor must have three palaces and six courtyards?â
âI just want you alone. I wonât have a harem. Youâll be the only one,â Lian Xin said solemnly to Ning Yue.
Ning Yue smiled. âNo matter how you change, I donât like you. This is an irreversible fact.â
âLet Jiang Ying go as soon as possible. Otherwise, donât blame me for being rude!â Ning Yue said to Lian Xin with a livid expression.
âSince thereâs nothing to talk about, you can go back,â Lian Xin replied calmly.
âIâll ask you one last time. Are you going to let Jiang Ying go?â Ning Yue asked.
âWhy should I let a murderer go?â Lian Xin asked Ning Yue.
âThe so-called witness can be found randomly. As for the physical evidence, I still have doubts. This isnât solid evidence,â Ning Yue said.
Lian Xin did not answer Ning Yue directly. Instead, she asked, âDo you want to see Jiang Ying?â
âYou want me to see him?â Ning Yue was puzzled.
âSince I asked, of course I agree to let you see him. However, Iâm only asking you to see him,â Lian Xin emphasized.
Ning Yue observed Lian Xinâs expression and tried to see the hidden emotions on his face.
However, this time, Lian Xin was very calm. Ning Yue sized him up but he did not show any additional expression. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
â1 want to see Jiang Ying now,â Ning Yue said.
âNo, tomorrow. The fastest is tomorrow. Otherwise, you wonât get to see each other,â Lian Xin said.
Ning Yue was furious. She wished she could strangle Lian Xin and question him. Why?
Unfortunately, this was Black City Kingdom. She couldnât do that.
âAlright, I hope you keep your word. Iâll go back and rest first. If you donât let me see Jiang Ying the next morning, I wonât be polite to you.â With that, Ning Yue secretly took out a packet of powder from her space and scattered it in the air.
This medicinal powder was colorless and tasteless, but it could make people wish they were dead.
If Lian Xin let her see Jiang Ying tomorrow, she would give Lian Xin the antidote. If he did not, she would never give him the antidote.
âAlright, Iâll send someone to the Nan residence to invite you over tomorrow morning,â Lian Xin said.
Ning Yue left. When she reached the entrance of the palace, she saw Nan Xing waiting anxiously.
Seeing Ning Yue come out, he heaved a sigh of relief. âHe didnât make things difficult for you, right?â
âHe captured Jiang Ying. How can he not make things difficult for me?â Ning Yue sneered.
âBut he did agree to let me see Jiang Ying tomorrow,â Ning Yue told Nan Xing.
âIs he that easy to talk to?â Nan Xing asked in surprise.
Lian Xin did not let him follow Ning Yue and actually agreed to let Ning Yue see Jiang Ying. His actions were a little surprising.
âHe really agreed to let me see Jiang Ying, but not until tomorrow,â Ning Yue said.
Nan Xing was even more surprised. He asked Ning Yue, âWhy not now? Why tomorrow?â
âHow would I know? You have so many questions. Ask Lian Xin yourself!â Ning Yue was a little impatient..
