Nangong Ling was currently looking at the pavilion not far away. He and his father had clearly seen what had just happened there. He was even more furious at the way his brothers had humiliated his fifth brother.
If not for the Emperor stopping him, he would have already rushed out. When he heard his father ask him a question, he retracted his gaze and replied respectfully,""Imperial Father, it's her!"
It turned out that the Emperor had called him to the royal study because of Mu Qingyi. After all, they had all seen how much Fifth Brother cared about Mu Qingyi in the hall today.
Thus, he told her everything, but he did not tell her about the snow toad.
"Have you investigated her background?" Emperor Nangong Qi continued to ask.
Nangong Ling was stunned when he heard this. He then said,""No, I haven't."
When Emperor Nangong Qi heard this, he could not help but turn around to look at Nangong Ling. He then waved his hand and a guard walked out from the darkness. The Emperor did not even turn his head and said,""Go and investigate that woman's identity for Zhen.”
"Yes, sir!"
After receiving the order, the guard quickly went into hiding.
" Father!" Nangong Ling was about to say something when Nangong Qi raised his hand and interrupted him.
"Send your fifth brother back first. We'll talk about the rest later.”After saying that, Emperor Nangong Qi turned around and left.
At this moment, on the other side, a concubine dressed in palace robes was hidden in the darkness. She watched the Emperor's departing back and then looked in the direction of the pavilion. She turned around and quietly left with the palace servants beside her.
At this moment, Mu Qingyi finally pushed Nangong Mo, who was hugging her, away. She turned around and said to the unfriendly princes,""Princes, it's best not to be calculative with him, lest you lose your standards.”
When she said this, Mu Qingyi's expression became colder than before. If Nangong Mo had not hugged her just now, they would not have stood there so well. Thinking of Mu Qingyi made them feel a little depressed.
"If this prince wants to be calculative, then so be it. What has it got to do with you?”Mu Qingyi's face turned even uglier when he said that. One of the more hot-tempered ones even made things difficult for him.
"Ninth Imperial Brother, who do you want to argue with?”
At this moment, Nangong Ling's voice came from the side. The few of them looked over and saw Nangong Ling looking at the people in the pavilion with displeasure.
"Hehe, Tenth Brother is here. We were just joking with Fifth Imperial Brother.”The Seventh Prince smiled apologetically when he saw that it was Nangong Ling. However, his smile did not reach his eyes.
The others looked at Nangong Ling with both unhappiness and fear. After all, Nangong Ling and Nangong Mo were of the same mother and were deeply doted on by their father. If they made a scene, they would not be able to gain any benefits.
" I'm just joking." Nangong Ling nodded as if he understood. Then, he swept his gaze across the crowd.
For some reason, they felt a little scared when Nangong Ling swept his gaze over them.
However, at this moment, Nangong Ling had already shifted his gaze to Mu Qingyi and Nangong Mo. He smiled and said,""Let's go. I'll send you back."
Mu Qingyi nodded and let Nangong Mo go first. Then, she followed him and the three of them slowly walked towards the palace gate.
Nangong Ling turned to Mu Qingyi and asked,""What did you spill on them just now?”
Mu Qingyi could not help but be stunned when she heard this. She then smiled and said,""It's just something that will make them suffer.”
It turned out that when Mu Qingyi let Nangong Mo leave first, she had taken out a bag of things from her sleeve and quickly scattered it towards the princes. However, she did not expect Nangong Ling to notice such a small action.
Nangong Ling only smiled and did not ask further. He let Mu Qingyi get into the carriage first.
The carriage started moving. Nangong Mo was probably tired, so he quickly fell asleep leaning on Mu Qingyi's shoulder. In order to avoid awkwardness with Nangong Ling, Mu Qingyi closed her eyes to rest.
Looking at Mu Qingyi and Nangong Mo, Nangong Ling could not help but have a complicated look in his eyes. His father had sent someone to investigate Mu Qingyi. He hoped that nothing bad would happen.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:082820187:39PM
