“Ninth Emperor, it’s getting late. I’ve already warmed up your bed. You can go rest first.”
Dongfang Yu looked at the sky and said, “It’s still early… Why did the Ninth Emperor have to go to bed so early?”
Nan Changfeng glanced at Dongfang Yu coldly. “Qing Zhu…”
She did not know if it was the gaze or the word ‘Qing Zhu’ that made her face turn pale. She glared at Nan Changfeng fiercely and turned around to leave.
However, before Dongfang Yu walked out of the courtyard’s door, she ran into Mu Qingya, who had just entered, outside the courtyard.
Mu Qingya did not see Dongfang Yu and almost bumped her.
Luckily, Dongfang Yu reacted quickly and dodged to avoid her.
Mu Qingya was stunned as she looked at Dongfang Yu standing in front of her; an unknown light flashed in her eyes.
“Dongfang Yu…” The Ninth Emperor stretched her hand lazily. “Next time, if someone walks without looking at the road, you do not have to dodge…”
She paused for a moment and said, “Just kick her away directly.”
“Yes, Master. I understand.”
Dongfang Yu smiled.
When she turned to look at Mu Qingya, her face turned cold. “What are you doing here? Get out!”
Mu Qingya ignored Dongfang Yu and slowly walked toward the Ninth Emperor.
She raised her chin arrogantly and smiled.
“Sister, I have wanted to see you for a while.”
‘Sister…’
These words made the Ninth Emperor feel goosebumps all over. She rubbed her arms and turned to look at Nan Changfeng. “Why do I feel a little cold?”
Nan Changfeng raised his hand, took off his outer coat, and draped it over the Ninth Emperor’s body.
“It’s not the cold. It’s someone who made you feel nauseous.”
Mu Qingya’s face changed dramatically after hearing these words from Nan Changfeng. She bit her lip hard; a feeling of shame hit her heart, making her feel very uncomfortable.
“Sister, I’m here for Father…” Mu Qingya held back the anger in her heart and forced a smile. “He missed you.”
“Oh…” The Ninth Emperor smiled carelessly. “Mu Yi is not here. There is no one else here, and there is no need for you to continue pretending.”
These words caused Mu Qing Ya’s expression to sink slightly for a few moments. “What does Sister mean by this?”
“What do I mean?” The Ninth Emperor stood up from her seat. “Don’t you understand?”
Her voice was low, and her tone remained calm.
Mu Qingya had to admit that this woman was indeed beautiful.
However, it was not enough because only strong people would be respected on this mainland.
“Sister…” Mu Qingya glanced at Changfeng on the side and turned to the Ninth Emperor again. A faint smile on her lips, “This time, I really came for my father because your servant attacked my grandmother.”
The Ninth Emperor shrugged. “I know.”
Mu Qingya froze. ‘Little Nine knew? She knew it!
‘Then, why didn’t she punish her servant?’
“Sister, she’s your grandmother, and she’s already old. She’s wounded and still unconscious, yet you still keep this servant here for no good reason.”
