Chapter 664: In a Fog of Confusion
Looking at the meaningful smile on Zhong Niangyao’s face, Nolan Deye couldn’t help but shiver.
He always felt that the State Preceptor seemed to imply something, but he couldn’t guess what it was. However, someone was certainly about to be unlucky—he just didn’t know who that person would be.
In the blink of an eye, he saw that Zhong Niangyao’s expression had returned to normal.
After nodding at Nolan Deye, Zhong Niangyao continued, "Emperor, I will take my father back to the National Master Hall."
"Of course," Nolan Deye quickly said, "As for Nangong Xin—"
Thinking of the Empress Dowager’s attitude, he dared not make any promises, even feeling a bit annoyed, "I also don’t know what is going on with the Empress Dowager. Why is she suddenly so protective of Nangong Xin? When Nangong Xin was in the palace before, I never saw my mother hold her in such high regard."
"Emperor, perhaps—" Zhong Niangyao’s mouth curled into a mysterious smile, "from the beginning to the end, the Empress Dowager has always been fond of Nangong Xin, it’s just that outsiders have failed to notice."
After all, Nangong Xin was but an orphan girl. Though she was raised in the palace, she had no backers behind her. For such an orphan to grow up safely and smoothly in the palace, it’s possible that someone was protecting her.
