  Qiao Tian Chang narrowed his eyes, and there was a cold smile in his heart. Regardless of Ning Meng Yao’s identity, she was his wife and it was an undisputed fact. Regardless of whoever wanted to split them apart, they would need to pay a devastating price.

  “Then I’m at ease,” Ning Meng Yao sighed, she did not wish to go to Ling Empire.

  Compared to that place, she preferred Xiao Empire.

  “Then if in the future……” Qiao Tian Chang wanted to ask what she would do if she found information about Nangong Yan.

  Ning Meng Yao smiled as she looked at Qiao Tian Chang, there was a deep smile in her eyes: “I am your wife, I’ll go wherever you go.”


  “Right,” Ning Meng Yao had appeased Qiao Tian Chang with a single sentence, there was a deep smile in his eyes and joy slowly wrote on his face.

  Nangong Che had a gloomy expression when he returned to his temporary Imperial Residence. He seemed to always be defeated every time he encountered Ning Meng Yao, especially in front of the couple.

  He actually did not have much thought when he first saw Ning Meng Yao, but after returning, his servants told him Ning Meng Yao seemed familiar. After hearing them mention it, he recalled, Ning Meng Yao’s looks had a close similarity with their Regent.

  After that, he recalled the Regent who had been away the past few years and he seemed to be looking for someone. Because of that, he had thought of Ning Meng Yao and he went to the Great General’s Residence to find Ning Meng Yao today.

  But he never imagined that Ning Meng Yao would contradict him. Not only contradict him, she even disliked him, that was why she was covered in thorns.

  “Your Highness, what happened?” Nangong Che’s advisor by his side looked at him while feeling doubtful.

  “You have no idea, the girl I previously told you about who looked like the Regent’s daughter, she doesn’t like me at all. Not only that, she seemed to dislike this matter,” Nangong Che frowned deeply, feeling dissatisfied with it.

  The advisor cast a glance at Nangong Che: “Regardless of her attitude, your highness must pull her to our side to win the Regent’s support.”


  “Of course I know, but Ning Meng Yao’s current identity is not simple, it’s a little bit difficult to execute,” Nangong Che frowned.

  If Ning Meng Yao was just an ordinary peasant girl like how they investigated, they could use the money and status to entice her, but she currently had status, and she was also not lacking in money.

  It would be difficult if he wanted to move her.

  “It’s good that Your Highness understands,” The advisor nodded.

  “No matter what, she must return with us,” After the advisor finished speaking, there was a sinister glint in his eyes.

  She was only a young woman, what kind of storm could she make?

  As long as they brought her back, couldn’t they do as they please in the end?

  Nangong Che thought and nodded: “Of course I know.”


  “We will still be staying in Xiao Empire for some time, just try to keep a good relationship with Ning Meng Yao during this period. If she is still unwilling when the time comes, we’ll bring her back forcefully,” The advisor’s face instantly became sinister looking.

  Nangong Che was a little worried and frowned: “It’s not like your idea won’t work, but…… If at that time she says anything negative about us in front of the Regent……” Forcing her to come with them, it was one of the methods that would eventually make her meet the Regent. It would be good if she did not say anything, but if she said anything negative about them, then the loss outweighs the gain.

  The advisor cast a glance at Nangong Che, he said with an unclear overtone: “That would depend on if she had the opportunity to mention it.”


  “You mean to say?” Nangong Che was stunned, he then looked at the advisor in a worried manner.

  “There’s a medicine I’ve just obtained over here, it can control people, making them serve us, but…… it had not been tested before.” The advisor furrowed his brows.

  He wanted to test it out when he obtained the medicine, but he did not find an opportunity to do so. Trying it out on Ning Meng Yao did not seem to be a bad thing.

  Nangong Che was still feeling worried: “I’m afraid this won’t work, there is a medical expert by Ning Meng Yao’s side,” Thinking about Qing Shuang, Nangong Che did not think too highly about the idea.
