Chapter 970: Chapter 770: Mutation

Nangong Ye looked at Nan Feng, "As for what exactly is on his mind, I don’t know either. An Emperor’s heart always tends to overthink things."

Nangong Ye began practicing his swordsmanship in the courtyard, while Nan Feng watched from beside the stone table.

Every day, the Emperor read Nangong Ye’s reports and knew that his mind was made up.

In his report, Nangong Ye had clearly written that after resigning from his post, he would travel the world with his wife.

Thinking of Nan Feng, a dull pain still lingered in the Emperor’s heart.

Some men are like this, always valuing what they cannot have the most. Even though he now had three thousand beauties in his harem and new ones continuously arriving every year, he still felt as if something was missing in his heart.

He no longer favored any one concubine, and a dozen or so in the harem were already with child. Soon he would have a large brood of little princes and princesses, and he had almost forgotten about Nan Feng, thinking she was already dead.

Had it not been for Nangong Ye’s current report, maybe his heart would have already been as still as water.

The Emperor’s delay in approving Nangong Ye’s departure might also be due to a trace of lingering thoughts about Nan Feng.

To have the world as a companion, and to gallop to the horizon, it had once been his dream too. Sadly, it was a dream that he could never realize, so he was somewhat jealous of Nan Feng and Nangong Ye, thinking of delaying them for as long as possible.

However, before the Emperor had approved it, another document arrived from Dashun.

The document accused Nangong Ye, as the great General of the frontier, of instructing people from Jianghu to use sorcery to hurt their Second Prince and kill their General Mu Tuo. Now, with the Second Prince hanging by a thread, fighting for his life, they demanded that Dajin hand over the head of Nangong Ye, or they would once again wage war against Dajin!

Upon seeing this, the Emperor’s head felt like it was about to explode.

Just when the turmoil in the north had finally been quelled, why were there disturbances again at this time?

The Emperor was brooding over this when the Imperial Concubine summoned him.

The Imperial Concubine was none other than Tuoba Yun. The news of Tuoba Lie being injured had already reached her, and she was fuming as she entered, "Your Majesty, you must seek justice for my brother. How could Nangong Ye do such a thing as to harm my brother with a Poisonous Snake?"

Tuoba Yun’s Han Chinese was already very fluent, and her tone was resolute.

The Emperor was also very irritable, "This matter has yet to be thoroughly investigated. Nangong Ye is not usually an impulsive man. Wait until I’ve ascertained the facts before we proceed, alright?"

"Your Majesty, no matter the reason, my brother now lies on his bed, his life hanging by a thread. I’ve heard that Nangong Ye is living his life well, and who is excessive is clear at a glance. I’ve also heard that Nangong Ye is resigning, which obviously means he feels guilty for his crimes."

"Imperial Concubine, please withdraw for now. If this is Nangong Ye’s fault, I will surely give your brother justice," the Emperor assured her.

Tuoba Yun reluctantly retreated.

...

Over in Dashun, Tuoba Lie had woken up.

The venom from the snake was too potent, and he was severely wounded. After waking up, he had been unable to walk or even talk properly, and the more incapacitated he became, the more irritable his temper grew. He wanted Nangong Ye’s head.

If only he hadn’t met Nan Feng here, he would have been a highly respected Second Prince, a man of distinguished status. But fate had to make him cross paths with her, to let her humiliate him once more.

Why was he left to chew on his agony alone, while she was going to lead a joyous life with that wild man?

The deepest wound was the way Nan Feng, without turning her head, followed Nangong Ye out of the city walls and didn’t say a word.

Therefore, he absolutely needed Nangong Ye to die, to make Nan Feng regret it for the rest of her life!
