Hearing the eunuch’s words, Ning Yue was even more shocked. Lian Ying had not run away. He had been captured by Lian Xin!

She believed in Jiang Ying and knew that he would definitely not kill anyone, so this matter must have been done by Lian Xin.

Lian Xin did this because she wanted Jiang Ying to die in the Black City Kingdom.

Ning Yue sneered. “Lian Xin, let’s not beat around the bush. What exactly do you want?”

Lian Xin smiled and gestured to Dezi. “Get out.”

Dczi immediately walked out with his things.

Soon, only Lian Xin and Ning Yue were left in the entire imperial study.

“Ning Yue, you should know very well what 1 want. What I want is you!” Lian Xin said.

He waited day and night and finally brought Ning Yue to the Black City Kingdom.

If he didn’t take the opportunity to kill Jiang Ying, he wouldn’t be able to get Ning Yue.

“Lian Xin, you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink. We’re not the same kind of people. We’re not suitable to be together,” Ning Yue said.

“We’re not even together yet, and you’re already saying that we’re not compatible!” Lian Xin was furious.

“Our personalities arc not compatible,” Ning Yue said again.

Lian Xin smiled and asked Ning Yue, “In what way do you think I’m not suitable for you? Tell me and I’ll change.”

Ning Yue frowned tightly. She sized up Lian Xin and replied, “We’re not suitable in any way.”

“You’re an unscrupulous person who will do anything to achieve your goals. You’re very suitable to become the emperor, and you’ve already reached the position of emperor. I’m not as obsessed as you. Moreover, I’m a person who cares about the people. Do you think I’ll be with you?”

Hearing Ning Yue’s answer, Lian Xin smiled again. “Why not? Who said that the emperor must have three palaces and six courtyards?”

“I just want you alone. I won’t have a harem. You’ll be the only one,” Lian Xin said solemnly to Ning Yue.

Ning Yue smiled. “No matter how you change, I don’t like you. This is an irreversible fact.”

“Let Jiang Ying go as soon as possible. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!” Ning Yue said to Lian Xin with a livid expression.

“Since there’s nothing to talk about, you can go back,” Lian Xin replied calmly.

“I’ll ask you one last time. Are you going to let Jiang Ying go?” Ning Yue asked.

“Why should I let a murderer go?” Lian Xin asked Ning Yue.

“The so-called witness can be found randomly. As for the physical evidence, I still have doubts. This isn’t solid evidence,” Ning Yue said.

Lian Xin did not answer Ning Yue directly. Instead, she asked, “Do you want to see Jiang Ying?”

“You want me to see him?” Ning Yue was puzzled.

“Since I asked, of course I agree to let you see him. However, I’m only asking you to see him,” Lian Xin emphasized.

Ning Yue observed Lian Xin’s expression and tried to see the hidden emotions on his face.

However, this time, Lian Xin was very calm. Ning Yue sized him up but he did not show any additional expression.

”1 want to see Jiang Ying now,” Ning Yue said.

“No, tomorrow. The fastest is tomorrow. Otherwise, you won’t get to see each other,” Lian Xin said.

Ning Yue was furious. She wished she could strangle Lian Xin and question him. Why?

Unfortunately, this was Black City Kingdom. She couldn’t do that.

“Alright, I hope you keep your word. I’ll go back and rest first. If you don’t let me see Jiang Ying the next morning, I won’t be polite to you.” With that, Ning Yue secretly took out a packet of powder from her space and scattered it in the air.

This medicinal powder was colorless and tasteless, but it could make people wish they were dead.

If Lian Xin let her see Jiang Ying tomorrow, she would give Lian Xin the antidote. If he did not, she would never give him the antidote.

“Alright, I’ll send someone to the Nan residence to invite you over tomorrow morning,” Lian Xin said.

Ning Yue left. When she reached the entrance of the palace, she saw Nan Xing waiting anxiously.

Seeing Ning Yue come out, he heaved a sigh of relief. “He didn’t make things difficult for you, right?”

“He captured Jiang Ying. How can he not make things difficult for me?” Ning Yue sneered.

“But he did agree to let me see Jiang Ying tomorrow,” Ning Yue told Nan Xing.

“Is he that easy to talk to?” Nan Xing asked in surprise.

Lian Xin did not let him follow Ning Yue and actually agreed to let Ning Yue see Jiang Ying. His actions were a little surprising.

“He really agreed to let me see Jiang Ying, but not until tomorrow,” Ning Yue said.

Nan Xing was even more surprised. He asked Ning Yue, “Why not now? Why tomorrow?”

“How would I know? You have so many questions. Ask Lian Xin yourself!” Ning Yue was a little impatient..
