When he was settled, the old Regent’s didn’t waste any time. He told him why he had come.
The old Regent told him about Jiang Ying and said that there was insufficient evidence for this matter. He could not arrest him directly. He had also gotten someone to check the palace maid’s corpse. The wound on her chest was not fatal.
What really forced this palace maid to death were the strangle marks on her neck. In other words, there was insufficient evidence that Jiang Ying had killed someone.
Therefore, Jiang Yingtian was released. When they arrived at the Nan residence, Ning Yue quickly asked him to take a shower to get rid of his bad luck.
While eating, Nan Xing told Jiang Ying, “Speaking of which, the way the old Regent spoke up for you in the court shocked me.”
He chatted about what had happened in the court. Ning Yue and Jiang Ying tacitly did not speak.
This was because they knew that the current tranquility was just the calm before the storm.
Lian Xin must have more tricks up her sleeve. He would not let them off so easily.
At the thought of this, Ning Yue was not in the mood to eat. She put down her bowl and chopsticks and said to Jiang Ying, “Have you investigated it?”
Jiang Ying nodded slightly. “I found something. It’s not much, but it’s very useful.”
“When arc we leaving?” This was what Ning Yue was most concerned about. She really did not want to stay in the Black City Kingdom for too long.
Jiang Ying did not answer Ning Yue. Instead, he turned to look at Nan Xing and asked, “Nan Xing, who is the more stable prince of your Black City Kingdom?”
Nan Xing thought for a moment and replied, “The late emperor’s eldest son is really steady. Moreover, he’s kind-hearted. I believe the Black City Kingdom will be better if he is the leader.”
With this answer, Jiang Ying relaxed a little. He said, “Okay.”
Just like that? Nan Xing blinked and looked at Jiang Ying in confusion. “Don’t you have anything to say?”
“What do you want to hear?” Jiang Ying asked Nan Xing kindly.
Nan Xing swallowed. Alright, he wouldn’t say anything else. This had nothing to do with him. Jiang Ying just had his own plan.
After the three of them finished their food, Jiang Ying said that he would bring Ning Yue out for a walk.
Ning Yue looked at him in surprise and asked, “Aren’t you going to rest?”
Jiang Ying smiled and replied, “I want to walk around the streets of the Black City Kingdom.”
Hearing his words, Ning Yue did not know what to say. “I think you should rest at this time.”
“No need. Let’s go take a look,” Jiang Ying said.
Ning Yue pondered over Jiang Ying’s thoughts. Jiang Ying brought her to the streets of the Black City Kingdom. The rather modern buildings made Ning Yue miss the modern era.
She and Jiang Ying bought some things here and ate some snacks. After shopping for a while, they went back.
Ning Yue was puzzled by Jiang Ying’s actions, so she asked, “Why do I feel that I don’t understand your actions after coming to the Black City Kingdom?”
“When I brought you out on the streets this time. I also received someone who is an important guest,” Jiang Ying said.
Ning Yue was even more shocked. Received someone? When did this happen? Why didn’t she know?
It seemed that Jiang Ying was either shopping or eating with her on the streets. There didn’t seem to be anything special. When did he receive someone?
At the thought of this, Ning Yue couldn’t help but ask. Jiang Ying handed a note to Ning Yue and said, “Take a look.”
Ning Yue took a look at the note. It said that this person would meet him in the forest in the suburbs at three in the morning.
In the forest in the suburbs…
Ning Yue pursed her lips. Who arranged to meet Jiang Ying in the forest outside the city? Ning Yue asked Jiang Ying.
Jiang Ying said, “Old Regent.”
“You said you will receive someone. Is this it?” Ning Yue asked again.
“No, the esteemed guest I am talking about should be at the door,” Jiang Ying said as he brought Ning Yue to open the door.
However, there was someone Ning Yue did not know standing at the door. It was a woman.
“This is Yueyue, right?” the person said.
Jiang Ying nodded and invited her in. He said to Ning Yue, “This is the Prime Minister of the Black City Kingdom.”
Ning Yue’s eyes widened. Could a woman become an official in the Black City Kingdom?
“He’s a man. His name is Nan Bao,” Nan Xing added.
Ning Yue’s lips couldn’t help but twitch. This Prime Minister was a man, but he was dressed as a woman.
Wasn’t this the outfit of a Thai demon or demonic spirit?
“What man, Yueyue? You can call me Sister. Don’t listen to Xingxing’s nonsense,” Nan Bao said with a smile.
Ning Yue suddenly did not know what to say. She saw Nan Xing’s disdainful gaze towards Nan Bao.
However, Jiang Ying said that Nan Bao was an important guest. Their thoughts seemed to conflict.
“What can I do?” Ning Yue asked.
Jiang Ying smiled and whispered into Ning Yue’s ear, “Tell Uncle what happened here.”
Tell Yuan Hui? Ning Yue was stunned for a moment before she quickly understood Jiang Ying’s thoughts..
