Chapter 779: Chapter 779 Brother Ye Finished the Battle_1

But the person in front just wouldn’t turn around.

The eunuch Wan, realizing the situation, dared not to speak out. He has long noticed that the Emperor held special feelings towards Nan Feng. Thus, he didn’t dare to intervene, letting the Emperor to work it out himself.

Lady Jiang had been courageous when she played this game. She was trembling with fear, how could she dare to turn around? So she continued to show her back to the Emperor.

Seeing that "Nan Feng" was not turning around, the Emperor got a little suspicious, assuming that she must have been treated unjustly in the palace and was unable to voice it. He remained standing with his composed, aloof facade visible to the outer world: "Nan Feng?"

With his sudden call, Lady Jiang got even more scared, causing her shoulder to twitch.

This little twitch made The Emperor misconstrue that Nan Feng was crying.

She was aggrieved, and the first person she thought of was him. And she was crying. The usual Nan Feng was very cold, so how could she cry in front of him?

This thought made the Emperor’s heart ache instantly.

Apparently, he couldn’t bear to see her upset.

Thus, the Emperor extended his hand and hesitated mid-air for a while before placing his hand on Lady Jiang’s shoulder.

Once again Lady Jiang twitched and finally couldn’t bear it anymore. Suddenly she turned around and fell to her knees before the Emperor, with a pitiful look: "Your Majesty... I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

Only then did the Emperor realize that the voice was off.

It wasn’t Nan Feng.

He lifted the chin of the woman underneath him, and Eunuch Wan quickly stepped forwards, holding up a lantern. In the lantern’s light, The Emperor saw a face that was more beautiful than Nan Feng’s, but it was not the face he had wished to see.

"It’s you?" the Emperor said with immense disappointment.

"Your Majesty, your concubine ate too much tonight and wanted to take a walk, and didn’t expect to run into you."

Seeing her hairstyle and outfit resemble Nan Feng’s, the Emperor was filled with rage.

Such an obvious scheme. Does she think he’s a fool?

But he was always one to suppress his anger and he ended up not lashing out. Instead, he pushed her face away and walked out without looking back.

Wan quickly followed.

Although Eunuch Wan dared not say anything, he was wondering: My goodness, what on earth is Lady Jiang thinking? She’s practically telling the Emperor: Your Majesty, I know you love Nan Feng, so to seduce you, I disguised myself as her.

Stealing a subordinate’s wife was considered a grave sin and would be condemned by all.

Was she trying to trap the Emperor in the wrong?

...

It is said that the next day, Lady Jiang was demoted directly to a palace maid.

Had it not been for the sake of the Dowager Empress and because they had grown up together, the Emperor might have banished her to the Cold Palace directly.

Dowager Empress Jiang was almost enraged to death by this incident, and upon hearing that it was again caused by Nan Feng, her face turned even more livid.

...

At the border.

Ye Ge and Lu Jianxi were still busy researching how to defuse the explosives.

Possible places where the explosives could be buried, which location was best to attack and bypass the explosives area.

Ye Ge’s leg was almost healed, but it now had a long scar. It was particularly shocking because it had been blown to bloody bits before,

Lu Jianxi would occasionally glance at Ye Ge during their discussion, absorbed in his work.

With every gaze, her heart inexplicably fluttered.

Throughout the entire Dajin dynasty, he was the only man who had captured her attention.

She thought she would never meet such a man in her entire life, but here she was, having met him in the Northern Desert.
