Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Your Majesty, calm down.”
Xie Jinnian served a cup of brewed Jue Mingzi tea.
It would be strange if the King of the Southern Wilderness could calm down.
Wei Xu could be located slowly if he disappeared. At most, he would lose a fierce general, but the person in the abandoned mine concerned his life and death and the throne.
The rise of the Great Zhou army was imminent. If that person came out to cause trouble, it would bring him a lot of trouble.
“Summon the Cheng family!” The King of the Southern Wilderness ordered.
The little servant looked at Xie Jinnian in fear.
Xie Jinnian asked the King of the Nanjiang, “Your Majesty, is it enough to summon Cheng Lian and Xie Yunhe?”
The King of the Southern Wilderness originally planned to summon Cheng Sang and the little girl.
However, after being asked by Xie Jinnian, he remembered that Cheng Sang had gone crazy. That girl had just arrived in the capital and had offended the Saintess.
Wherever the Saintess went, she would definitely not explain it to the two of
them.
“Yes.” He nodded calmly.
The young attendant heaved a sigh of relief. It was all thanks to Eunuch Jin. Otherwise, his head would have fallen countless times.
At this moment, it was already past midnight. Cheng Lian and Xie Yunhe had long rested.
When she was woken up by the maidservant, Cheng Lian was a little unhappy. When she heard that it was His Majesty who summoned her, she was so frightened that she immediately woke up.
The maidservant was anxious. Cheng Lian tidied up briefly and bumped into Xie Yunhe, who had ignored her for many days.
Xie Yunhe got into the carriage first.
Cheng Lian hesitated for a moment before sitting up under the urging of the servant.
Xie Yunhe closed his eyes and rested, unwilling to pay attention to her at all.
Cheng Lian still had feelings for him. She pinched the handkerchief in her hand and mustered her courage to take the initiative to say, “Master, you’ve lost weight.”
Xie Yunhe still had his eyes closed and did not say anything.
Cheng Lian was not discouraged. “Master, why do you think His Majesty summoned us to the palace in the middle of the night?”
Xie Yunhe still ignored her.
Cheng Lian looked at the swaying curtain and knew that the little eunuch was riding outside. She did not want to be seen as a joke by others, so she stopped asking for trouble.
After the two of them entered the palace, they were immediately brought to the Chengde Hall of the King of the Southern Wilderness.
The King of the Southern Wilderness sat at the master seat. The powerful emperor’s pressure pressed down on the two of them until they could not breathe.
Xie Jinnian stood beside the King of the Southern Border. His respectful expression made people feel that he was not to be trifled with.
The two of them knelt down and bowed.
The King of the Southern Wilderness did not beat around the bush with the two of them and asked bluntly, ‘Where is the Saintess?”
Was this actually for the Saintess?
The two of them were a little surprised. Just as they were about to subconsciously look up, they suddenly remembered that they could not profane the sacred face.
Cheng Lian asked in a daze, “Isn’t the Saintess in the Holy Maiden Temple?”
Xie Yunhe lowered his eyes and replied respectfully, “Your Majesty, the
Saintess hasn’t returned to the Cheng family for a few days.”
The King of the Southern Wilderness asked, “When was the last time she returned to the Cheng family?”
Xie Yunhe looked at Cheng Lian. Ever since he fell out with Cheng Lian and Cheng Qingxue, the Saintess’ relationship with him had faded. She only returned to the residence to see Cheng Lian and would not look for him.
Cheng Lian suppressed the nervousness in her heart and replied in a low voice,
“About… five days ago.”
The King of the Southern Wilderness said in a low voice, “What did she say to you? Tell me the truth!”
Cheng Lian’s heart skipped a beat.
Why did His Majesty sound like he was interrogating her?
Could it be that her daughter had done something wrong?
Xie Jinnian reminded her, “Cheng Lian, answer His Majesty quickly.”
“Yes… yes!”
Cheng Lian told her about the conversation with the Saintess that day, but she omitted the part about her argument with Su Xiaoxiao regarding Cheng Sang meeting a man in the mine.
After all, she had really harmed Cheng Sang and was afraid that His Majesty would investigate.
The King of the Southern Wilderness looked deeply at Cheng Lian and Xie
Yunhe.
Just as the two of them thought that the King of the Southern Wilderness was going to question them, the King of the Southern Wilderness gave Xie Jinnian a look.
Xie Jinnian walked forward with a smile. “The Saintess has suddenly disappeared. His Majesty is very worried about the Saintess’ safety. If the two of you have news of the Saintess, please enter the palace in time to report it to His Majesty.”
Xie Yunhe hurriedly said, “Definitely.”
Xie Jinnian called the little eunuch over and sent the two of them out of the palace.
Xie Yunhe gently helped the pale Cheng Lian up.
Cheng Lian enjoyed Xie Yunhe’s warmth and even forgot to be afraid.
