Seeing Ning Yue’s worried expression, Jiang Ying couldn’t help but reach out and stroke her brows. “Don’t worry. I’ll take care of everything. Don’t worry too much.”

After hearing Jiang Ying’s words, Ning Yue’s heart warmed. “Jiang Ying, let’s get married when we get back.”

Jiang Ying was stunned for a moment before a huge surprise almost drowned him.

“Really?” Jiang Ying asked happily.

Although the emperor had bestowed Ning Yue’s marriage to him, he did not specify the time of the marriage in the imperial edict. He only asked them to choose a time to get married.

Actually, he really wanted to marry Ning Yue, but he did not dare to say anything. He was afraid that Ning Yue still had concerns.

When Ning Yue heard this, she pretended to ask with a straight face, “Why? Don’t you want to marry me?”

“No, no. I’m just too happy. You’re my treasure. How can I not want to marry you?” Jiang Ying said excitedly.

Hearing Jiang Ying’s words, Ning Yue blushed.

Why would he suddenly say such romantic words in broad daylight? She was not used to it.

“Then let’s not discuss marriage for now. Let’s discuss why Lian Xin did this first,” Ning Yue said with a red face.

Seeing this, Jiang Ying couldn’t help but laugh. Ning Yue’s shy look was really cute. He liked her very much.

He originally wanted to say a few more words, but when he heard Ning Yue suddenly talk about Lian Xin’s actions so seriously, he decided not to tease her anymore.

“Perhaps he hates the Great Yun Nation, so he changed his mind and wanted to join Russia. This possibility might exist,” Jiang Ying said.

The two of them discussed and came up with nothing. Ning Yue sighed heavily. Forget it, don’t think about it.

Thinking about Lian Xin’s problem was really too vexing. She was tired of thinking too much.

Originally, they should have packed their things and stayed at Yuan Hui’s place today, but they had too many things. They would go tomorrow.

It was also because of this decision that Ning Yue avoided some matters.

That day, on the way to Yuan Hui’s residence in the Nan residence, there was a vicious injury.

A man and woman walking on this path were seriously injured.

Originally, Ning Yue did not want to know too much about what had happened in the Black City Kingdom, because it had nothing to do with her.

However, when she heard that a man and a woman were seriously injured, Ning Yue’s face turned pale.

Wasn’t this injury targeted at her and Jiang Ying?

Those people must have wanted to deal with her and Jiang Ying. Otherwise, why would only one man and one woman be injured while the others remained fine?

When Lian Xin found out about this, she was furious and immediately ordered someone to investigate.

Soon, something happened. What Lian Xin did not expect was that this matter was actually related to the old Regent.

Lian Xin immediately summoned the old Regent into the palace. He went straight to the point and asked, “Royal Uncle, does this matter have something to do with you?”

The old Regent pretended to be confused. “What matter?”

“Royal Uncle, there’s no point in doing this. It’s all your fault. If you don’t tell the truth, I won’t be able to help you,” Lian Xin said.

The old Regent’s face darkened. “It’s not appropriate for you to put it on me for no reason, is it?”

“Besides, so what if I did it? Why? Do you still want to arrest me to punish me?” the old Regent questioned Lian Xin.

Lian Xin looked at the old Regent’s face and sighed heavily. “Royal Uncle, Yuan Hui is here.”

“So what if he comes?” the old Regent asked again.

“He’s Ning Yue’s uncle! This matter can’t withstand careful scrutiny at all. It’s very easy to trace it to you. What do you want me to do? Do you want me to help you bear the responsibility?” Lian Xin asked.

“Anyway, you want Black City to become a city of Russia. What’s wrong with you taking responsibility?” The old Regent said.

When he heard this news back then, he was so angry that he almost ran into the palace to question Lian Xin.

However, on second thought, he was right. The days of the Black City Kingdom were gone. It wouldn’t be a good thing to continue like this.

However, he was furious. Why should it become a small city in another country? Why?

For generations, in order to leave Great Yun Nation, they had done so much and even caused countless casualties.

He really couldn’t accept returning to Great Yun Nation like this, but what could he do? He wasn’t the emperor. An order from the emperor could make all his subordinates go through fire and water.

He was no longer the former Regent. He had long since handed over his military power, and he was old. He no longer had the energy to rebel..
