C52 Loyalty and sorrow

As the date of Emperor Nanyan's birthday approached, the number of guests from other countries also increased.

As the junior family head, Shangguan Wan naturally had to receive many people.

Nangong Yu didn't have the heart to see how hard it was for her to work, but she liked to interact with outsiders, so he didn't stop them.

It was already midnight by the time he returned to the Hall of Scented Fragrance. Nangong Yu still hadn't fallen asleep.

"Why are you so late?"

"There's no other way. The princess of NATO is a difficult person to serve." Shangguan Wan had an innocent look. That Princess Wu Dan had a cunning personality, she was even more cunning than her own niece.

Nangong Yu pulled her into her embrace and comforted her softly, "It's been hard on you."

"It's alright, I'll just try my best to avoid her in the future." Shangguan Wan saw this very clearly, because she was sleepy and really wanted to have a good night's sleep.

Nangong Yu picked her up and placed her on the bed. Sure enough, as soon as this woman laid on the bed, she quickly fell asleep.

His astute eyes instantly moved onto Rui Xiang.

Ruixiang withdrew, waiting for the emperor's question.

The atmosphere was truly depressing. Nangong Yu took a sip of her Spirit Boosting Tea and asked, "Who is your master?"

Rui Xiang shook her head.

"Don't say it? "It's a heart attack." Nangong Yu's eyes blazed with anger, "Zhen won't be as easy to talk to as the empress."

He could treat Shangguan Wan very well, he could even give up everything, but he would only treat Shangguan Wan like this. He would never show mercy to others.

Logically speaking, Luo Chen from the palace was her rival. As her husband, he shouldn't have let her off, but the little Daoist had done a great service to get rid of the demon. Shangguan Wan repeatedly said that he was no match for her, so she let him go.

Otherwise, how could Luo Chen have stayed in the palace until today?

Rui Xiang still shook her head.

She would not say her master's name, because this was her basic duty as a spy. She could not do things that betrayed her trust, even if that person was unforgivable.

This was the case with Fool, and this was also the case with Sadly.

"What a determined girl." Nangong Yu clapped his hands together. "I guess even you wouldn't be able to understand what's going on right now, much less understand."

She should have been sent out as a death soldier. If she did not complete the mission, there would be only death, so nothing she did now would help. She already had the belief that she would die.

Therefore, was there any need to talk about moral common sense and justice and evil for a man who wished to die? That was just playing the lute to a cow.

Rui Xiangmin fearlessly replied, "It's good that Your Majesty understands."

It had to be said that Nangong Yu was a good emperor and also a good husband. If the Empress followed him in the future, she would be very happy.

Of course, she regretted what she had done in the past. However, she had no choice but to repay her master for the grace he had shown her.

"I will give you a chance to find your master." Nangong Yu threw out these words and then reached out a hand to rub his forehead, his spirits waning.

Rui Xiang smiled coyly. "Her Majesty is releasing the tiger back into the mountain. Is there some other purpose?"

"I wouldn't dare to use a little girl to do something despicable." He knew that she was afraid that he would send someone to follow her, but for something like this, it was beneath him.

Rui Xiang turned around and left, feeling a little reluctant. She was unwilling to part with the Empress, who was so good. She had once encouraged her to seek freedom, but the Empress would never see the day she gained it.

Nangong Yu stood up and turned around, but he saw Shangguan Wan standing at the door with a haggard expression on his face.

Tears welled up in her eyes. "Did you know that she will definitely die when she returns?"

Why would he do such a thing? This wasn't letting the tiger return to the mountain, this was clearly sending that pitiful child into the Palace of Hell.

"I'll bet once." Nangong Yu slowly approached her. "With her current situation, no matter where he is, it's hard for us to protect her from the enemy in the dark. However, if she takes the initiative to return to his master's side, maybe he'll have a chance of survival."

"That's her life. You actually used someone else's life as the wager. This is the power of your dynasty right?" Her tone was sorrowful. She originally thought that he was different from others and wouldn't treat human life like grass. However, today's actions had truly chilled her heart.

"This Emperor is saving her." Originally, Ruixiang had helped the evil, committing a heinous crime, and dying was nothing to be regretted. However, considering Shangguan Wan's feelings for her, he had still chosen to help them once. She had not expected that it would lead to such a misunderstanding.

"Alright, just be this conceited!" With that, Shangguan Wan rushed out the door.

Little Lin rushed in. "Your majesty, the empress ran away. Do you want to chase after her?"

"No, she will understand." Nangong Yu didn't seem to care and returned to his bedroom to sleep.

Some things need to be proven by time. There will always be a day when the birds return to their nests.

Shangguan Wan looked around for Rui Xiang, but couldn't find her.

Meanwhile, King Rui's Palace was shrouded in darkness.

"Speak properly, what exactly happened?"

Rui Xiang knelt in front of that person and bowed her head as she replied, "Master, things went smoothly, but the princess somehow came back to life. Your subordinate couldn't figure it out no matter how hard I think."

Thinking back, how many people were stunned by the fact that Empress Xuan Yue had come back to life?
