Ning Yuc did not know the old Regent Jiang Ying was talking about, but she did not ask.
She knew that Jiang Ying had his own considerations. The two of them chatted for a while more before the prison guard came to remind Ning Yue that it was time.
âYour emperor agreed to let me come.â Ning Yue frowned.
âYes, Princess. Youâre right. The emperor agreed to let you come, but he didnât say when, so you have to strictly abide by the prison visitor rules,â the jailer said.
Ning Yue was speechless. Jiang Ying patted Ning Yueâs shoulder calmly and said, âThereâs nothing else. Go back first.â
Ning Yue secretly stuffed some common medicine into Jiang Yingâs hands and said a few more words before leaving.
At this moment, Nan Xing was standing outside the cell. When she saw Ning Yue come out safely, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Just as he was about to ask Ning Yuc what happened, Ning Yue said that she wanted to get into the carriage first.
After getting into the carriage, Ning Yue told Nan Xing, âJiang Ying said to tell your old Regent about this and ask him to come out of seclusion.â
Hearing Ning Yueâs words, Nan Xingâs eyes widened. He asked Ning Yue in disbelief, âAre you serious? Jiang Ying really asked me to look for the old Regent?â
âOf course itâs true. Is there a problem with asking you to look for the old Regent?â Ning Yue asked.
âHow should I put it?â Nan Xing was a little troubled.
After some thought, he organized his words and told Ning Yue about the old Regentâs personality.
Like Lian Xin, the old Regent did not want the Black City Kingdom to return to Great Yun Nation, nor did he want the Black City Kingdom to be a lowly existence.
According to the old Regentâs personality, if he knew that Jiang Ying had fallen into the hands of the Black City Kingdom, he would take the opportunity to kill Jiang Ying.
Ning Yue frowned even more. If that was the case, why did Jiang Ying still ask Nan Xing to look for the old Regent?
Soon, Ning Yueâs frown relaxed. âLetâs talk about it first. This is Jiang Yingâs idea. I believe he has his own considerations.â
Nan Xing sighed heavily and did not say anything else. After sending Ning Yue back to the Nan residence, she asked the coachman to send her to the old Regentâs Residence.
When the old Regent saw Nan Xing, he smiled and asked, âWhy? You actually have time to visit an old man like me?â
Nan Xing rubbed the back of his head awkwardly. He said, âYour Royal Highness, actually, I came to look for you for something.â
âAs expected, you wonât think of me when youâre fine,â the old Regent joked.
Nan Xing told the old Regent about Jiang Yingâs imprisonment. As soon as he finished speaking, the smile on the old Regentâs face disappeared.
âWhy are you looking for me now? Do you want me to persuade Lian Xin to let go of the heir of Great Yun Nation?â the old Regent asked coldly.
âYour Royal Highness, listen to me. Jiang Ying is Ning Yueâs fiancA?, and Ning Yue is the legitimate princess of Russia. There are many twists and turns. Weâre not afraid of trouble, but we shouldnât easily provoke trouble.â
âThatâs because the situation in our country is in turmoil now. If we provoke Russia and Great Yun Nation at the same time, it will be a huge blow to us.â âWhy donât we take this opportunity to do a favor? This way, weâll have time to recuperate. After weâve accumulated enough power, weâll attack. Wouldnât our success rate be much higher?â
Hearing Nan Xingâs words, the old Regentâs expression softened a little.
âWho is Ning Yue? When did Yuan Hui have such a niece? Why didnât I know?â the old Regent asked again.
âSheâs the daughter of the Emperor of Russiaâs biological sister. Didnât his biological sister disappear when she was young? His sister arrived in Great Yun Nation and he looked for her. Unexpectedly, his sister has already passed away, leaving behind Ning Yue, his only descendant.â
The old Regent fell silent. He had interacted with Yuan Hui before and knew very well what kind of person he was.
Just as Nan Xing had said, if they took the opportunity to do well for Great Yun Nation, they could indeed win some time to recuperate.
Ning Yue had a very high status in both the Great Yun Nation and Russia. The old Regent thought for a moment and agreed to Nan Xingâs suggestion.
âGo back,â said the old Regent.
Nan Xing did not know what the old Regent meant, but since the old Regent had asked him to leave, he could not shamelessly stay in the residence.
With a sigh, Nan Xing left.
The next day, the old Regent went to court.
This caused quite a commotion in the royal court of the Black City Kingdom.
After all, the old Regent was already old. He did not have to go to court. Something must have happened for him to suddenly go to court, right?
When Lian Xin received the news that the old Regent had gone to court, he rushed over..
