Chapter 722: The Ruthless Girl

Chapter 722: The Ruthless Girl"Yes, Your Majesty."

Nan Hua proceeded to walk toward the outer area, not far from where the carriages were parked. Behind her, Emperor Yang Zhou and Long Qian Xing were following with unhurried paces.

Emperor Yang Zhou glanced at Long Qian Xing, 'Do you know who she wants us to meet?'

'I don't.'

Not long afterwards, Nan Hua stopped before Mu Family carriage. It was the carriage that carried one of the young miss from Mu Family who participated in the Empress Selection because she was of suitable age.

"Your Majesty, would you please ask everyone to leave first?"

There were several other servants who loitered around. They were actually only talking and playing with each other. Who would have thought that the Emperor himself would suddenly appear here?

With a wave of his hand, the guards immediately moved those servants away. It cleared the area immediately.

Nan Hua knew that there were still a few shadow guards, but she didn't care that much about them. They were naturally the people trusted to protect His Majesty and had been combed even more thoroughly after that unfortunate incident in the palace.

"Fourth Miss Mu, it's clear to come out now."

The door slowly opened and Mu Fei Jiu walked out. Her dress was a bit wrinkled because she was actually hiding under the seat. She was not within the age range to be selected for the Empress Selection, but she had to come here because of something.

The only method was for her to sneak in.

"If Fourth Master Mu is not involved, he can be let off. But if he had participated, there will be some other punishments in accordance to the crime," Long Qian Xing replied on Emperor Yang Zhou's behalf.

"Thank you for your benevolence, Your Majesty. There's also one more thing I would like to ask. Please don't let anyone know that I'm the one who presented the evidences to you." Mu Fei Jiu gritted her teeth.

If her name were tarnished because of this, she knew that it would bring trouble for both her sister and her father. That was the least thing she wanted to happen. She wanted to bring down the Mu Family but not with her father and her sister's reputation in trouble because of her.

She wouldn't be able to forgive herself.

Emperor Yang Zhou looked at Mu Fei Jiu. "I can't possibly say that the evidences appeared out of thin air, can I?"

"That's..."

"Your Majesty, if I may be presumptuous, I have a request regarding this matter." Nan Hua stepped forward.

"Speak."

"I would like to borrow a few of the evidences in order to let my father, Nan Shu Cheng, to find it. That way, the one who would present it to the court will be Official Nan."

"Official Nan?" Emperor Yang Zhou asked in deep voice. He turned his head to look at Nan Hua. From what he heard from Long Qian Xing, Nan Hua didn't have any good relationship with her father. For what reason would she want her father to be the one to have this merit?

"Mu Family is a big family and there are many branches who will not be involved in this matter. If it's any other small family, they would try to make trouble for them for causing such a huge trouble in their head. However, Nan Family had long lineage and great power, they wouldn't dare to cause any trouble for the Nan Family."

"Are you trying to take the merit for yourself?"

"Of course not, Your Majesty. I merely want to let my father have a taste of happiness." Nan Hua curtsied and lowered her head.
