351 Consequences
Ning Feng was assassinated by the Dragon Scale Secret Guards but did not die. It had to be said that he was quite capable.
“I just told the emperor that if he dares to use Jiang Ying as bait, don’t blame me for being merciless,” Yuan Hui said.
Ning Yue gave Yuan Hui a thumbs up. He actually directly threatened the Emperor of Great Yun and fought without a word. The title of Bloodthirsty Emperor was not for nothing.
“Yueyue, what do we do next?” Yuan Hui asked.
“Nothing. After all, I’m unfamiliar with the capital. I can only rely on you, Uncle,” Ning Yue said with a smile.
These words had two meanings. They were telling Yuan Hui that they didn’t have to do anything now.
If they did too much, they would make mistakes.
Yuan Hui immediately understood what Ning Yue meant. “Don’t worry, I’ll still enter the palace to look for the emperor tomorrow.”
Ning Yue smiled. “I’ll go get my medicinal powder.”
It had been a long time since she had made the medicinal powder in her space. Gu Yu had given it to her.
Previously, he did not have time. Now, he could take this opportunity to do it properly.
Yuan Hui did not say anything else. Today, the emperor had left the palace, so he would not enter the palace again, lest others think that he was doing it deliberately.
What he had to do now was to have a good chat with the emperor’s officials.
They would chat about what it meant to be a good official.
If it were anyone else, they would definitely find such an action strange, but Yuan Hui did not find it strange at all.
Yuan Hui was a different person from ordinary people. He was temperamental and did whatever he wanted. No one could control him.
Yuan Hui thought for a moment. Today, he would go to the Nine Gates Military Governor’s Residence to see what he was busy with.
After all, the official position of the Inspector of Nine Gates was not small. It was in charge of the safety of the capital.
When Ma Ling saw Yuan Hui, he was shocked. What a joke. Yuan Hui was the Bloodthirsty Emperor of Russia.
If he offended the emperor of a country, at most, Yuan Hui would send someone to assassinate him. At worst, it would cause a conflict between the two countries. The emperor of Great Yun would definitely not destroy the diplomatic relationship between the two countries because of him.
After all, the Black City Kingdom was still eyeing the border covetously. Now, the Great Yun Nation still needed to join forces with Russia to attack the Black City Kingdom.
“Greetings, Emperor of Russia,” Ma Ling greeted Yuan Hui respectfully and bowed slightly.
Yuan Hui nodded softly and asked indifferently, “I wonder if the capital of Great Yun Nation is safe now?”
Hearing Yuan Hui’s question, Ma Ling was so frightened that his eyes widened.
“Safe, definitely safe,” Ma Ling said, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuan Hui’s face was still expressionless.
After waiting for a long time, Yuan Hui did not answer. Ma Ling could not help but ask, “What happened?”
“I suspect that your capital is not safe. Add more people to patrol these days.” With that, Yuan Hui turned around and left, leaving Ma Ling standing there alone to stare at his departing back in shock.
What was this? Did Yuan Hui come over to ask him to deploy more people?
Also, it was true that Yuan Hui was the emperor, but he was the emperor of Russia, not the Great Yun Nation. He, Ma Ling, was the inspector of nine gates of the Great Yun Nation. He had to listen to the emperor of the Great Yun Nation.
What exactly was going on today?
Ma Ling thought for a long time, but he couldn’t figure it out. Just as he was about to give up thinking, someone from the palace came.
“The emperor said that he didn’t see Lord Ma in the morning court assembly today and wants to invite you over to ask about the situation. Lord Ma, please.” The eunuch gestured to Ma Ling expressionlessly.
Ma Ling almost bit his tongue off. What did he mean by not seeing him at court?
He swore that he was wronged! He was diligent every day. Although he occasionally complained a little, he did not dare to neglect court.
After thinking about it, Ma Ling felt that the emperor must have used this opportunity to call him over for questioning. It must be because Yuan Hui had come to look for him.
At the thought of this, Ma Ling couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
He didn’t know what this was about. Yuan Hui had come and gone in a hurry. He had only said a few words about poor security and increased patrolling.
This was the real situation, but the emperor might not believe it.
Ma Ling arrived at the palace with trepidation.
