At this moment, Ning Yue and Jiang Ying had already left the territory of the Black City Kingdom.

They were fine the entire way back. They also knew that it was because Lian Xin had stopped those people that they were so safe.

“I wonder how Uncle is doing?” Ning Yue sighed as she spoke.

“Don’t worry. Since Uncle is staying there, he must be completely confident,” Jiang Ying said.

Since Yuan Hui said that he wanted to stay, it meant that Yuan Hui was very confident that he could stay alive in the Black City Kingdom. Besides, with his status, Lian Xin did not dare to hurt him.

After a week, the two of them finally returned to the Great Yun Nation.

When Jiang Ying and Ning Yue appeared in front of everyone, time seemed to have stopped.

Everyone looked at them in disbelief for a long time. The first to react was Old Master Ning.

He was excited. “You’re finally back!”

The emperor was very happy to receive the news that the two of them had returned. After the two of them returned the things to the Ning family, they entered the palace.

“Quick, quick, let them in. Don’t let them wait outside,” the emperor said.

After the two of them entered and saw the emperor, tears suddenly welled up in his eyes.

“It’s good that you’re back. It’s good that you’re back. You’ve lost weight,” the emperor said.

After Jiang Ying made a simple report, he asked the emperor in confusion, “Brother, I think Lian Xin’s motive for doing this is not simple.”

The emperor nodded. Of course, he also thought that Lian Xin’s motive for doing this was not pure, but what could he do? What could he say?

“No matter what, as long as the Black City Kingdom doesn’t exist in the future, there won’t be a problem,” the emperor said.

There was another problem for the emperor to consider, which was that Yuan Hui would definitely pass the throne to Ning Yue. In other words, after Jiang Ying and Ning Yue married, the two countries would be like one country.

Therefore, in the emperor’s opinion, it was not a problem for the Black City Kingdom to join either one.

“Forget it. Let’s not talk about this anymore. By the way, Father asked me to tell you to visit him when you come back,” the emperor said.

Jiang Ying and Ning Yue looked at each other. Although they did not know why the Retired Emperor was looking for them, they still nodded obediently. After talking to the emperor, they went to look for the Retired Emperor.

The Retired Emperor was quite surprised to see them. “You’re back?”

“Yes, Uncle. Why are you looking for us?” Jiang Ying asked.

The Retired Emperor smiled and replied, “To be honest, I’m not looking for you. I’m looking for Ning Yue. 1 want to ask how my business has been recently.”

Hearing the Retired Emperor ask about business, Ning Yue was a little embarrassed. Before going to the Black City Kingdom, the emperor’s business was not bad.

She and Jiang Ying returned to the Ning family’s house first before entering the palace. She had really never seen the emperor’s business. Thinking of this, Ning Yue felt a little awkward.

“Retired Emperor, I’m really sorry. As soon as I came back, I went back home to store my things before entering the palace. I haven’t gone to see the business yet. 1 wonder what has happened recently?” Ning Yue asked.

“It’s nothing. 1 just can’t wait to know how my business is. I’m still counting on the business to support me in my old age,” the Retired Emperor said with a smile.

Hearing the Retired Emperor’s words, Ning Yue also wanted to laugh. “Your Majesty, you’re the Retired Emperor. Why do you need these businesses to retire?”

“Oh, I’m tired of staying in the palace. 1 was thinking of discussing it with the emperor. In a year or two, I’ll leave the palace to stay. After 1 leave the palace, I won’t have any financial support. Wouldn’t that mean 1 can only rely on these businesses?” The Retired Emperor said with a smile.

The Retired Emperor seemed to be in a good mood. When he spoke, his face was filled with smiles.

“Your Majesty, don’t worry. After 1 go back and settle down, I’ll definitely pay attention to the business. Before 1 went to the Black City Kingdom, the business was still quite good. I’ve only been away for a few days, so there won’t be too many problems.”

Hearing Ning Yue’s words, the Retired Emperor was relieved.

Then, he took out a small box and handed it to Ning Yue. Ning Yue took it and saw a seal lying quietly in the small box.

“What is this?” Ning Yue asked the Retired Emperor.

“This can be used to withdraw half of the assets of all the business under my name. I’ll give it to you,” the emperor said.

Hearing the emperor’s words, Ning Yue was so frightened that she almost threw the box in her hand to the ground.

Fortunately, in the end, Ning Yue reacted and held the box steadily. “This thing is too precious. You…”

She wanted to speak, but the Retired Emperor interrupted her. “It’s not a question of whether it’s valuable or not. The problem is that this is what I want to give you..”
