Ning Yuc sighed heavily. She didn’t know what to say. “Alright, go do your work first. Tell me when Uncle is almost here. I’ll pick him up.”
“Yes.” Balli left respectfully.
On the third day, Ning Yue finally saw Yuan Hui.
“Uncle.” Ning Yue wanted to say something, but stopped.
“What do you want to say? Are you worried about my safety?” Yuan Hui smiled at Ning Yue.
Ning Yue sighed heavily. “How can I not be worried?”
God knew how worried she was when she heard that Yuan Hui was coming.
“Don’t worry. I came here prepared. Most importantly, this is Lian Xin’s invitation. If I don’t come, won’t they think that I’m afraid?” Yuan Hui said with a smile.
Ning Yue did not say anything and just sighed heavily. The heavy worry in her eyes could not be dispelled.
Seeing Ning Yue like this, Yuan Hui couldn’t help but laugh. He said, “Yueyue, have you thought of doing business in the Black City Kingdom?”
Hearing Yuan Hui’s words, Ning Yue shook her head honestly. How could she be in the mood to do business?
“If you want to cut off a country’s lifeblood, you have to control its economy,” Yuan Hui said.
Ning Yue’s eyes lit up. That’s right, why hadn’t she thought of that?! Apart from controlling the royal family, it wasn’t a good thing for a country to have their economic lifeline controlled.
Ning Yue smiled and said, “Uncle, I understand.”
Yuan Hui nodded in satisfaction. Actually, he did not tell Ning Yue that he had come to the Black City Kingdom to suppress Lian Xin.
If possible, he really wanted to facilitate the return of the Black City Kingdom to the Great Yun Nation.
“Uncle, let’s go. We’ve been staying in the Nan residence for the past few days. Are you coming with us?” Ning Yue asked.
Yuan Hui shook his head and said, “I bought a farmstead. It’s inconvenient for you to live there with me in the Nan residence.”
Actually, Yuan Hui did not mean anything else. He wanted to say that Nan Xing was a good person, but a good person could not stand being harmed secretly.
If Lian Xin secretly arranged for spies to enter the Nan residence, all their conversations would be known by Lian Xin.
Besides, Yuan Hui felt that the Black City Kingdom would return to Great Yun Nation one day.
Therefore, it was not a big problem for him to buy a property here.
Of course, Lian Xin knew that he had bought a house. Lian Xin immediately guessed his thoughts and was so angry that he smashed things in the imperial study that day.
Eunuch Dezi was extremely afraid. He wanted to go forward and reassure him, but when he thought of Lian Xin’s personality as an emperor, he endured it.
When there was no movement in the imperial study, Dezi went in to pack things up.
After smashing the things, Lian Xin felt much better. “The emperor of Russia has come to our Black City Kingdom. As the emperor, I have to visit him no matter what.”
Hearing Lian Xin’s words, Dezi quickly said yes. He asked, “When does the emperor want to go?”
“Of course I’m going now. He’s already here. If I leave him hanging, won’t that mean that I’m neglecting him?” Lian Xin said.
Dezi didn’t say anything else. He nodded and immediately went to make arrangements.
Under Dezi’s arrangements, he quickly arrived at Lian Xin’s residence. Looking at the manor here, Lian Xin frowned.
This manor was not very luxurious. He could have lived in the royal courier station or the Nan residence. Why did he have to come to this manor?
“Emperor Yuan Hui, long time no see.” Lian Xin greeted Yuan Hui with a smile. Yuan Hui frowned. Previously, Lian Xin had called him emperor and his tone was still respectful. Now that he had become emperor, he was full of himself? “It’s really been a long time. Have you been woken up by a nightmare recently? Those commoners who died in the sea of fire will come looking for you every night,” Yuan Hui said bluntly.
Lian Xin’s expression darkened. He did not expect Yuan Hui to mention the fire. “Your Majesty, you must be joking. That fire has nothing to do with me. I believe that if those innocent people are in heaven, they will look for the murderer.”
Yuan Hui did not say anything else. He knew everything he needed to know about that fire. Only he knew if Lian Xin was innocent.
Yuan Hui did not answer. He asked Lian Xin, “Why did you invite me here?”
Lian Xin was slightly stunned, then laughed out loud. He said, “I called you over to discuss a collaboration with you, of course.”
Yuan Hui didn’t waste his breath on him and asked directly, “What cooperation do you want to talk about?”
Lian Xin looked around. This was not a good place to talk. He said, “Please come to the palace for a banquet at four in the afternoon tomorrow..”
