Chapter 577 - 556 Second Update
Zheng Nianru frowned, puzzled by the problem Ju Nanyi faced before him. What was it that couldn’t be discussed? Moreover, compared to his previous life, she had already been much nicer to Nanmen Yu this time around, so naturally, the events of their past life wouldn’t repeat.
Of course, Ju Nanyi knew nothing about this, not in his previous life and not even more so in this life. Oh, Zheng Nianru suddenly remembered, Ju Nanyi did know after all, and even in this life, to completely sever ties with him, she had deliberately staged an act in front of Ju Nanyi.
This damn it.
Zheng Nianru instantly understood the man’s sudden resentment and reproaches. Were these grievances for Zheng Congyuan? Did he feel that, as a subject of Nanzheng, he couldn’t bear to see a past scene where she, the Empress, had been involved with a neighboring country’s King in an unspeakable act?
Ju Nanyi, aren’t you meddling too much?
"I once saved the life of Hostage of Nanmen State." Zheng Nianru didn’t want to argue with him; after all, wasn’t this situation more advantageous? Besides, she was now the Empress of Nanzheng State, what’s done was done, what could Nanmen Yu do about it now?
Ju Nanyi was infuriated by the woman’s dismissive attitude, his few words light and breezy. Saving a life? The Empress’s grace in saving lives seemed to flow smoothly, from a young Ghoul Ravine master to the King of Nanmen State.
Ju Nanyi’s chest heaved with emotion, so it was out in the open—he acknowledged that she and Nanmen Yu had a relationship from the very beginning and even from the previous life...
Just thinking about the previous life made Ju Nanyi feel his blood rushing to his head, and even though he dug his feet hard into the ground, he could barely stand steady.
"Empress, although our Nanzheng State is currently in a difficult situation, there is no need for the Empress herself to intervene in these matters. The Empress has already broken one ancestral rule of the Nanzheng Imperial Family, do you still intend to break the rule that forbids the Harem from entering politics?" Ju Nanyi coldly said, giving enough face to Zheng Nianru by not mentioning outright the scene he had witnessed at the start. If she was self-aware, she would know to immediately keep quiet and not bring up the matter anymore.
