Chapter 659
Nolan Deye sat there reviewing memorials, not even casting a glance at Nangong Xin, who was kneeling before him, as if she did not exist at all.
As time passed, Nangong Xin’s fear deepened. She did not know what she had done wrong, but the Emperor’s attitude towards her made it painfully clear that it was no small matter.
Suddenly, the doors to the Imperial Study were flung open from the outside. Without any announcement, two figures walked straight in as if no one else was there.
Upon seeing the newcomers, Nolan Deye, who had been reviewing memorials, did not get angry. Instead, he stood up immediately to welcome them, "Lord National Master, you’ve arrived!"
Nangong Xin knelt there, her head bowed, unable to see the guests. However, based on the Emperor’s words and demeanor, she knew these must be the resurrected sorcerer from yesterday’s rampant rumors among Beijing’s elite.
Zhong Niangyao entered and saw Nangong Xin kneeling there, offering a cold smile before she and Lu Yichen took their places to the side.
Nolan Deye returned to his seat at the desk, then lifted his gaze to the still kneeling Nangong Xin and spoke indifferently, "Nangong Xin, you may rise."
Suddenly called upon, Nangong Xin felt no joy, only a wave of anxiety about the unknown. And indeed, her fears were confirmed.
When she raised her head, seeing who stood before her, her heart leapt into her throat as she blurted out, "You impostor, how dare you come to the Imperial Palace?"
At this moment, Princess Mingyue was utterly baffled. She never expected to encounter this person again, especially not here.
