Chapter 977: Chapter 777: The Person Nangong Nini Is Interested In

The Crown Prince laughed, "Of course, with every day spent assisting Father in governing myriad affairs, your lifelong matters I can hardly attend to. I am here to inquire about Nangong Ye’s affairs with you, didn’t you say you met him when you went to Dajin for the martial arts competition and marriage proposal?"

"That’s right, I did meet him once, so what’s the matter, Brother? Are you here for some gossip?"

"Then tell me, what kind of a person is Nangong Ye?" Nangong Nini’s interest in a person naturally piqued the Crown Prince’s interest as well.

After pondering for a good while how to phrase his words, the Fourth Prince finally said, "He is an... extremely formidable, exceptionally brave, full of righteousness, both cold and handsome man."

The Crown Prince couldn’t help but feel puzzled, "You rarely praise people, yet I have heard you say this twice already."

"Because it is indeed the truth, ah, but there is one more thing, should I speak of it or not?" the Fourth Prince questioned.

"Enough nonsense, speak up!"

"Nangong Ye asked about your wife, claiming she was a childhood playmate of his, very familiar with each other. It seems, from the looks of it, that he had affections for her in the past," the Fourth Prince said.

"Nonsense, he already has a wife and even fought and injured the Second Prince of Dashun for her."

"Well..." the Fourth Prince grinned with a grimace, "I wouldn’t know about that. Maybe they truly are just friends, childhood sweethearts."

The Crown Prince pondered for a moment.

But soon after, he turned and left.

...

In the Shun Dynasty.

The poisonous snake bite that Tuoba Lie had suffered had mostly healed, his language and limb functions had fully recovered, and he had started practicing archery again.

Drawn on his target was a likeness of Horizon.

He loosed a volley, which directly hit Horizon between the eyes.

Seeing this, a general standing by hurriedly clapped and praised, "Excellent, Second Prince, it seems you have recovered quite well."

Tuoba Lie handed his bow and arrows to a servant, then suddenly turned to look at the general and asked, "Has there been any response from Dajin yet?"

"Not yet, Dajin’s side replied that the matter is under investigation, and they also said an envoy will be sent over to negotiate peace, which might arrive in the next few days."

Tuoba Lie coldly questioned, "Aren’t they just dragging their feet? The round trip of an envoy will take more than ten days; half a month will pass, and by that time, they would have enough time to flee to the ends of the earth."

"No, a message from Dashun said that Nangong Ye and... the Second Empress are now confined in the Imperial Palace, with no chance of escape."

Tuoba Lie walked toward his tent, "Then that’s fine, Nangong Ye stole my woman and hurt me, he thinks he can get away with that without paying a price, to roam free with Nan Feng, no way!"

"However, Your Highness, the Emperor seems to have a different opinion on this matter," said the general.

"I know, Father is afraid of war, even more of implicating Yunyun, but he doesn’t need to worry about this. With the temperament of the Emperor of Dajin, he won’t dare to delay for too long. Unable to bear the pressure, he will naturally hand over the people."

...

In Dajin.

Eunuch Wan had been waiting by the side for a very long time, but the Emperor just wouldn’t speak, so he had been hesitating whether to take the initiative to talk. But as the Emperor seemed intently focused on the memorials, Eunuch Wan did not know how to start.

Only when the Emperor finished reviewing the memorials did he speak indifferently, "What have Nan Feng and Nangong Ye been up to lately?"

Having once witnessed the couple’s affectionate display, he had not visited again since, to avoid being presumptuous. Nonetheless, he could not resist the curiosity in his heart, and today he had Eunuch Wan make some inquiries.
