The emperorâs imperial edict stated that the two of them would get married on the 5th of next month and everything went on as usual.
Before the wedding, in the distant Black City Kingdom, or Russia now, Lian Xin arrived. His name was no longer Lian Xin. He had changed his name.
He hadnât chosen either of the two names heâd once used. His name was Mai Cheng now.
âWhy did you suddenly come?â Ning Yue asked.
âCanât I come to a good friendâs wedding?â Mai Cheng said.
âGood friend?â Ning Yue was a little confused.
âOr someone from her maiden family?â Mai Cheng said tentatively.
âMaiden family?â Ning Yue repeated.
âHey, thatâs enough. Give me some face. Iâm from the same place as you. Weâre considered from the same hometown. Canât I give you a congratulatory gift when you get married?â Mai Cheng said.
âDo you have a fever?â Ning Yue asked again.
Mai Cheng was speechless and instantly didnât know what to say. He had come to give a congratulatory gift out of goodwill, but Ning Yue actually said that he had a fever.
Wasnât she indirectly saying that his brain wasnât working?
Mai Cheng didnât know what to say. He sighed and replied, âIâll send you a congratulatory gift. Happy marriage.â
âOh, oh, oh. Thank you,â Ning Yue said.
Then, there was another silence. In the end, Ning Yue asked him curiously, âDonât you feel terrible that your throne is gone?â
Mai Cheng was stunned. Thatâs right. His throne was gone. He smiled bitterly. âIf I donât give up the throne, Russia and Great Yun Nation wonât let the Black City Kingdom off, right?â
Ning Yue did not say anything. Yes, with Mai Chengâs madness, Great Yun Nation and Russia would definitely not leave him alone.
If it had been the previous emperor, they might not have dealt with the Black City Kingdom so early. But Mai Cheng was different. He was a crazy man.
âWhy are you so crazy?â Ning Yue finally asked the question in her heart.
When Mai Cheng was in the Great Yun Nation, he set fire to the entire East Street, displacing the commoners. When he returned to the Black City Kingdom, he killed the previous emperor.
Why would he do that? n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Mai Cheng smiled and said, âItâs in the past.â
Ning Yue was silent. Was it over? Could such a thing be over?
In the past, she had wanted to personally capture Mai Cheng to give an explanation to the dead and injured commoners.
But now, he could casually say that it was in the past.
How could he live with such a thing?
Looking at Ning Yueâs expression, Mai Cheng knew that he had said something wrong. He sighed heavily and said, âI donât mean anything else. I mean, those things have already happened. Itâs useless to pursue the matter now.â
At this point, Mai Cheng stopped for a while and glanced at Ning Yueâs expression. In the end, he realized that Ning Yue still did not look too good.
He knew that Ning Yue minded those things.
But on second thought, those things in the past were so bastardly!
âItâs almost your wedding day. Donât mention those annoying things in the past. Itâs true that I did something wrong,â Mai Cheng said.
Ning Yue looked at Mai Cheng deeply. What should she say?
There seemed to be nothing she could say. Mai Cheng had done something wrong, but now he had taken the initiative to admit it.
She really didnât know what to say. Should she praise Mai Cheng or scold him?
âI donât know what youâre thinking. Those were human lives. How could you write it off? Are human lives so worthless in your eyes?â Ning Yue said.
She couldnât even see what kind of person Mai Cheng was anymore. He kept saying that the ancient times werenât good and how good things were in the modern world.
But didnât what he did go against the laws in the modern world?
Mai Cheng was about to answer when Ning Yue said, âYou think youâre from the modern era and different from the people here in ancient times, but in your heart, do you treat ancient people as human lives?â
âThe modern law treats murderers equally. You didnât even get a sentence,â Ning Yue said in one breath.
Her words also embarrassed Mai Cheng. The expectant light in Mai Chengâs eyes disappeared. He was here to beg Ning Yue for forgiveness.
There were many things he couldnât help but do, including the fire on East Street.
Ning Yue seemed to see through Mai Chengâs thoughts. She sighed and said, âDissociative identity disorder isnât an illness, nor is it an excuse for you to kill someone.â
Mai Chengâs expression turned even uglier. He glanced at Ning Yue and turned to flee.
His desire to explain the situation disappeared without a trace at this moment..
