Chapter 398 - 377: First Update
Ju Nanyi closed his eyes, the noise was too loud, making it impossible for him to focus. He had no idea why he was here, what had happened, and whether he was alive or dead was starting to blur.
He should be dead.
The tangled memories in his mind were intermittent, almost shattering all his nerves, driving him mad. Those memories seemed not his own, yet the very real memories that were his own destroyed all his cognition.
He needed time, he...
Just as Prince Duan was about to speak again, he saw Ju Nanyi’s pale face and closed eyes, and he immediately shut his mouth, instantly regretting his impatience. After all, Master Yu Sheng had declared the situation extremely dangerous yesterday, and the fact that Nanyi had awakened now was a stroke of luck.
"Imperial Uncle, let Nanyi rest for now. Once his injuries are better, we’ll come again," Zheng Congyuan advised upon seeing this. He was well aware of the kind of person Ju Nanyi was, respectful and very determined. If Nanyi were truly able not to, he wouldn’t be like this.
"Right, right, the Crown Prince is correct," Prince Duan agreed, nodding and walking out with Zheng Congyuan.
"Imperial Uncle, thank you for your hospitality last night. I shall take my leave first and send someone later to take care of Ju Nanyi," Zheng Congyuan said, his demeanor calm and composed. There was no trace of last night’s fierce battle on the man’s face or body, his aura as clear and serene as ever, with an undeniable sense of weariness in his eyes that gave a comforting presence.
Prince Duan nodded in agreement. Yes, resolving such a major issue that troubled Zheng Capital naturally lifted a great weight off the Crown Prince’s shoulders. Prince Duan could understand the feeling of accomplishment Zheng Congyuan must have at this moment, despite the fact that Zheng Congyuan had not informed him beforehand and had even exploited Nian Ru. After all, the people from Ghoul Ravine were cunning; he himself had almost been deceived by their close approaches that nearly swayed him.
