Chapter 775: Chapter 775 Xiaoqing Comes_1

The Emperor understood what Nan Feng was thinking, so he agreed: "Alright, you can go back first."

After Nan Feng stood up, she turned back to the Emperor and gave a bow: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for bringing Xiaoqing to me."

...

Once they left the Yangxin Hall, Xiaoqing started to talk a lot: "Sister Nan Feng, I finally get to see you. After you left, Xiaolun and I missed you a lot. We didn’t know what happened to you in the north but didn’t expect you to come to the palace and become an official. They said you are a female official and you even discuss affairs with the Emperor. But the Emperor looks so young, he’s a handsome man, completely different from what I imagined. I thought the Emperor would be an old man, big ears, thick mouth, just like Buddha."

Nan Feng laughed: "What’s the situation over in the provincial city? How is Spikenard Square?"

"It’s all good. Didn’t you hand Spikenard Square over to Master Dragon? He sent a shopkeeper to manage it, a friend from his Jianghu days. She is doing well in business, but she’s a bit flirtatious and always lusting after attention. She’s okay with me, but not as caring as you, Sister Nan Feng."

"A shopkeeper? What’s her relationship with Master Dragon?" Nan Feng asked curiously.

"Just friends, the shopkeeper has feelings for Master Dragon, but Master Dragon doesn’t feel the same way. I can tell."

Nan Feng looked at Xiaoqing and said: "You’ve picked up on all of this? When did you become so perceptive, Xiaoqing?"

Xiaoqing laughed: "I have to grow up. Besides, that shopkeeper taught me a lot. When she’s bored, she teaches me to observe passers-by, saying if you watch their expressions and actions, you will know what they’re thinking. When I used her teachings, I realized the shopkeeper likes Master Dragon."

"How’s Master Dragon?" Nan Feng asked. After the question, her heart felt a bit heavy. It was hard to see a person who had treated her so well.

"He’s doing better. Hadn’t he helped Brother Ye fight that Qin... Qin Kun? Brother Ye must have mentioned it to the Emperor. The Emperor sent an imperial doctor from the palace to treat Master Dragon. Maybe because of the targeted treatment, he’s been improving."

"That’s good. I hope he gets well soon and lives a long and healthy life," Nan Feng said.

Then Nan Feng asked again: "Who brought you into the palace?"

When it came to this point, Xiaoqing was vexed: "This is really infuriating. I was peacefully eating beef noodles at the shop, and then two guys found me and claimed they were taking me to see Sister Nan Feng. I didn’t know them, how was I to know if they were telling the truth or not? Naturally I resisted, but I wasn’t a match against them and ended up getting dragged in here. I remember Sister Nan Feng was supposed to go north with Brother Ye, but they told me you were in the palace. I thought they were lying, but you really did enter the palace, Sister Nan Feng. How did you end up here?"

Nan Feng laughed: "Hostage, understand?"

"Hostage? So they used you as collateral, to threaten someone?"

Nan Feng forced a smile.

"Threaten Brother Ye?"

Nan Feng nodded.

"So the Emperor wants Brother Ye to go to war, and he’s keeping you here just in case he revolts?" Xiaoqing said.

See, it wasn’t a mistake for Nan Feng to notice her in the past. This Xiaoqing was a quick thinker.

Nan Feng looked around: "Xiaoqing, you can’t be so direct when speaking in the palace. Be careful in the future. Your voice is also too loud, you need to watch out. Don’t let people find a flaw and pin it on you. Without much power here, I’m worried I won’t be able to protect you if that happens."
