Jiang Ying wanted Yuan Hui to help build momentum. He was an heir of Great Yun Nation. The story of his imprisonment should have already spread to Great Yun Nation.
With Ning Yue adding fuel to the fire, it should be a very difficult situation for the Black City Kingdom.
As expected, on the seventh day, Yuan Hui arrived. The old Regent received the news and went straight to the palace.
“Lian Xin, tell me, what’s going on? You have no evidence. Why did you lock up the heir?”
Lian Xin looked at the old Regent and smiled. He was here to denounce him. He was not stingy with his explanation.
Lian Xin replied, “I did it on purpose.”
The old Regent looked at Lian Xin in shock and asked him, “You want to lure Yuan Hui over? What do you want?”
“Yuan Hui is still unmarried. If Ning Yue sits on his throne, won’t that mean that the connection between Russia and the Great Yun Nation will be closer?” Lian Xin said.
The old Regent was even more shocked. He looked at Lian Xin in disbelief. “You’re targeting Russia? You have to know that Yuan Hui is not someone to be fooled.”
“Royal Uncle, don’t worry. I won’t fight an unprepared battle.” Lian Xin looked confident.
Although Lian Xin was well-prepared, the old Regent could not relax. He instructed Lian Xin, “Be careful. Yuan Hui is a lunatic. He’s not to be trifled with.”
Hearing the old Regent’s words, Lian Xin was a little impatient. He felt that as a modern person, why would he be afraid of ancient people?
“I understand. Don’t worry,” Lian Xin said calmly.
Looking at Lian Xin, the old Regent sighed. “When I was young, I was like you. I wouldn’t listen to anyone’s advice, so I always ended up like this.”
Hearing the old Regent’s words, Lian Xin was slightly surprised. Outcome? What outcome?
Looking at Lian Xin’s expression, the old Regent could roughly guess what he was thinking. He replied, “If I had listened to my father back then, you wouldn’t have been the one sitting on the throne.”
The old Regent’s father was Lian Xin’s grandfather. He meant that if he listened to the old emperor, he should be the one sitting on the throne.
Lian Xin did not say anything. He did not doubt the truth of the old Regent’s words.
Back then, he was still very puzzled. Why did his father become the emperor? His uncle was clearly smarter and more decisive than his father. He was more suitable to be the emperor of the Black City Kingdom. Why did his uncle have to be the regent?
“Uncle, why don’t I give this seat to you?” Lian Xin suggested.
The old Regent smiled. He said, “If I wanted to, it wouldn’t have been your father’s turn.”
What he meant was that he did not want to be the emperor. He said, “I advise you not to have any ideas about Yuan Hui. He’s a sly old fox.”
Sly old fox!
This was the old Regent’s evaluation of Yuan Hui. Lian Xin glanced at the old Regent indifferently. He did not take the old Regent’s words to heart.
He thought that after living for so long, his two lifetimes combined would be longer than Yuan Hui’s life. Could he not defeat an ancient person?
The old Regent sighed. He knew very well that Lian Xin did not take his advice seriously.
But what could he do? He was a Regent and Lian Xin was the emperor. If he did not listen to him, he could not hold a knife to Lian Xin’s neck and force him to agree, right?
After chatting with Lian Xin for a while, the old Regent left.
The conversation between the two of them was not known by outsiders. Even the eunuchs beside Lian Xin did not know.
At this moment, Jiang Ying and Ning Yue were at Nan Xing’s house. Just as they were discussing how to take the next step, Baili arrived.
“Princess, the emperor is here,” Baili told Ning Yue respectfully.
“Emperor?” Ning Yue did not react for a moment. “Which emperor?”
“It’s your uncle.” Cold sweat kept dripping down Baili’s forehead.
When he received this news, he almost went crazy.
Where was this? This was the Black City Kingdom!
Why was Yuan Hui here for no reason? This was simply nonsense!
When Ning Yue heard that it was Yuan Hui, she was stunned. “Why did Uncle come over personally?”
“The emperor said that he was worried that you wouldn’t be able to handle it alone,” Baili told Ning Yue.
Ning Yue’s heart warmed. She did not know how to answer Baili.
Yuan Hui was also worried about her, so he came. She sighed and asked Baili, “Tell Uncle that I can handle it.”
“The Emperor said that he’s really worried about you being alone. Anyway, he has his reasons for coming here,” Baili replied..
