Chapter 269: Lovely Father
After sending off her brother who seemed not so happy to leave the cozy city after hearing about the ’struggles’ faced by the Emperor in the outside world, Xing started to do what she always did... Reading the memorials.
Xing had arranged for Rijun’s protection from Lin Mubai who hadn’t heard anything from Chenglie or any of Shihong’s people in the past weeks after she left them. Also there were the Imperial guards and also the Huang private bodyguards to take care of him. Rijun had more protection than the Emperor.
When she mentioned that, he whined, "But Mingxia! You were with him! If I’m going with you, I won’t ask for protection either.."
Xing didn’t know what to say to that brother of hers who trusted her to that extent.
"You are cruel to send me alone, spoony Xia", he knocked her head.
Xing rubbed her head and pouted. This brother of hers never misses his chance to hit her.
In their absence since he was the one who was taking care of all the work, he had ruined his health. Thankfully he got better soon with proper rest.
Xing was hesitant to let her brother go but he is the only appropriate person for that job. No one she knew could negotiate like him apart from Haru and also only he has the status to be treated as a State Guest in another Emperor’s Coronation.So she sent him and she knew her father was slightly displeased at her for sending his son away from him.
"Why can’t you two be in my eyesight all the time?", he asked holding his tears and hugging them both.
"Come on father! He is your son who is going out on a job. You are not sending your daughter to another country to marry!" Xing wanted to say that to her father but refrained herself.
