General Jun?
Prime Minister Lan blinked his eyes and looked to one direction. The few shadow guards who were around shook their heads.
"Replying to His Majesty, the shadow guards failed to find her trace."
Emperor Yang Zhou: "…"
He looked at these shadow guards that were protecting him and for the first time, he felt that they were quite useless.
But this also meant that Nan Hua had a high martial arts and thus able to escape from their detection. He shook his head and waved his hand. "Help me read and sort these."
Just leave those two alone for now. There was nothing important that he needed Long Qian Xing's help right now. Though, that young man would be sent to the frontline again soon.
For now, it would be better for him to focus on the pile of works that was still backlogging in front of him.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
…
<Long Family Residence>
After heading back from the palace, Long Qian Xing headed straight back to his family residence. He looked at the steward in front of him who didn't even let him enter the residence.
"Young Master, Old Madam gave clear instruction that Young Master is not allowed to enter without Young Miss Nan," the steward relayed the message while looking at Long Qian Xing with a look of pity.
Long Qian Xing's lips twitched.
He knew very well that he would have the lowest position whenever Nan Hua was mentioned. However, for him to not be able to enter without her…
Just whose grandmother is Old Madam Long?
Long Qian Xing rubbed his forehead with a helpless smile. Facing this unreasonable grandmother of his, he really couldn't do anything to but to follow her whim.
"Tell her that I'll bring her inside, but I need to enter the residence first."
"Yes, Young Master."
After waiting for a quarter of incense stick of time, Long Qian Xing was finally allowed to enter. He sighed deeply at his grandmother's childish behavior but said nothing.
Anyway, he had no intention to quarrel with an elder.
As the junior, he had to respect his elders.
"Grandmother." Long Qian Xing saw his grandmother, sitting on a long chair in front of a courtyard.
Old Madam Long snorted. "You better not lie to me. I miss my granddaughter in law!"
Long Qian Xing looked at his grandmother speechlessly. He felt that the word 'in law' had to be erased when his grandmother sees Nan Hua. Her attitude seemed to be looking forward for her granddaughter while he's the grandson in law.
