Chapter 847: Chapter 847: Ye Ge’s Celebration Banquet

The Emperor maintained a nonchalant appearance on the surface, as he truly could not let Nangong Ye notice that he now coveted another man’s wife.

Meanwhile, Nangong Ye looked at the Emperor with an equally calm face, "Your Majesty, my wife has gone missing."

"Gone missing?" The Emperor’s hand gripping the Dragon Throne suddenly shuddered, nearly driving him to distraction.

"She disappeared while searching for me, falling off a cliff. I’ve searched for a month but have not found her. That’s why I’ve requested to be stationed at Shangzhi. I believe she will return one day."

The Emperor clenched the armrest tightly. Ever since Nan Feng had left, it was as though he had lost something. Each time he thought of Nan Feng, a dull pain throbbed in his heart. Now, hearing that Nan Feng’s fate was uncertain, he felt as if he had been punched hard, his head instantly buzzing.

It took a while for the Emperor to regain his composure, "General Nangong Ye, let’s discuss this matter later. You have worked hard. Your celebration banquet will go ahead as scheduled."

...

The celebration banquet was held in the Imperial Palace, and officials from both the civil and military sides of Capital City were present. Songs and dances filled the air, creating a lively atmosphere. Nangong Ye sat beside the Emperor.

But no matter how beautiful the songs and dances were, to Nangong Ye, who couldn’t hear them, they were just empty sounds without Nan Feng. He quietly drank his wine, and seeing this, Lu Jianxi did not disturb him, simply drinking and watching the dance performance.

As a woman, Lu Jianxi sincerely admired the dancing girls before her, thinking that if she weren’t fighting wars on her father’s behalf, she might also be dancing and singing, maintaining a graceful figure just like them.

After several dances, the Emperor offered Nangong Ye a toast, and Nangong Ye clinked his cup with the Emperor’s before asking, "Your Majesty, if I may be bold, may I inquire about the whereabouts of my sister, Nangong Nini?"

At this question, the Emperor stiffened suddenly before gripping his cup tightly, "In the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"Great Zhou Dynasty?" Nangong Ye was shocked.

"I don’t know if you’ve heard about the marriage alliance between Dajin and Dazhou two years ago? At that time, since my sister, Princess Changping, was already betrothed and there were no other suitable princesses to marry, I bestowed the title of Princess Changle upon the granddaughter of the Grand Tutor Yan and sent her to marry. However, I secretly replaced Princess Changle en route with your sister, Nangong Nini. The granddaughter of Grand Tutor Yan, Yan Tiantian, rarely left her home, and on her wedding day, she was veiled in a red bridal head covering. Even her maids were replaced by me, so except for Grand Tutor Yan, no one knew about it."

"Then where is Grand Tutor Yan’s granddaughter now?" Naturally, Nangong Ye was puzzled.

The Emperor smiled faintly, "Yan Tiantian, the Grand Tutor’s granddaughter, had secretly fallen in love with a man from Jianghu years ago. She once wished to elope with him, so Grand Tutor Yan and I decided it was best to fulfill her heart’s desire. General Nangong, although Dazhou lies to the west and the air is somewhat dry, your sister married a prince. Given her beautiful appearance and clever mind, I believe she will live a good life there. You don’t need to worry about that."

Nangong Ye raised his cup and touched it to the Emperor’s, "Thank you, Your Majesty. With this, if my adoptive father has a spirit watching from heaven, they can now rest in peace."

"It’s just that... regarding Nan Feng," the Emperor spoke with an expression of profound sadness on his face, "you must blame me for keeping her in the Palace back then, don’t you?"

"Nangong Ye wouldn’t dare," Nangong Ye said as he looked at the Emperor, vaguely understanding a bit more.

The Emperor probably also fell for Nan Feng.
