472 Friendship
“I’ve already sent someone to investigate, but I need Brother to give me special privileges,” Jiang Ying said.
“Go ahead,” the emperor replied grimly.
“I’m going to the royal monastery,” Jiang Ying said.
The emperor looked at him in confusion. “Why are you suddenly going to the royal monastery?”
“I’ve only heard some legends about the disguise. I’m afraid no one in this world knows about this anymore, and I have no way to investigate.” Jiang Ying paused and continued, “So if I want clues, I can only go to the academy of the royal monastery.”
After Jiang Ying finished speaking, he looked at the emperor solemnly. The academy of the royal monastery was a forbidden area. No one could enter without the emperor’s orders.
So that was what was going on. The emperor nodded in agreement. “That’s not a problem. I’ll give you the gold medallion later. With it, you can come and go as you please.”
The emperor stood up and took a small wooden box from the table, handing it to Jiang Ying. “Remember to return this golden token to me when you’re done.”
“Yes.” Jiang Ying took the small wooden box and said solemnly to the emperor, “Thank you, Brother. I’ll definitely investigate carefully.”
“You’re welcome. I should be the one thanking you.” The emperor was quite grateful to Jiang Ying.
When he was still the Crown Prince, Jiang Ying had always assisted him. Even when he ascended the throne and became the Emperor, he still assisted him wholeheartedly.
Jiang Ying’s talents were not inferior to his. Being able to obtain his assistance was simply like adding wings to a tiger.
After Jiang Ying took the token given by the emperor, he told the emperor about Nan Xing.
Speaking of Nan Xing, the emperor also looked strange. “Why is Nan Xing here?”
The emperor, Jiang Ying, and Nan Xing were very good playmates when they were young. Later, Nan Xing followed his father to the Black City Kingdom.
Nan Xing had once returned, but they had parted on bad terms because of something, so he went back to the Black City Kingdom.
After that conflict, they thought that Nan Xing would never return for the rest of his life.
To the emperor’s surprise, when Nan Xing returned, he actually said that he wanted to stay at Jiang Ying’s house. Now that Jiang Ying was staying at Ning Yue’s house, he simply gave the problem to the Ning family.
Originally, Nan Xing was very unhappy. He sent someone to say that if not for the Jiang Ying’s family, he would definitely not have come. Moreover, he promised that he could facilitate the return of the Black City Kingdom to the Great Yun Nation.
The emperor sent someone to pass a message to Nan Xing that Ning Yue was Jiang Ying’s fiancée. Now that Jiang Ying was staying at his fiancée’s house, it was the same for him to stay in the Ning family. Only then did Nan Xing fall silent.
When Old Master Ning arranged for Nan Xing to stay in the house Ning Yue had bought, the emperor thought that Nan Xing would be angry. He did not expect Nan Xing to have no reaction. Not only did he not react to the place he would be living at, but on the first day he arrived, he even dragged Ning Yue shopping. He heard that he had almost bought an entire street’s worth of items.
“I wonder if the shop owner following you is related to Nan Xing. If so, you can start with Lian Xin,” the emperor said.
“Regardless of whether it has anything to do with him, I have to start with Lian Xin. I think this matter has something to do with him,” Jiang Ying said.
Speaking of Lian Xin, Jiang Ying was very angry. “Don’t let this Lian Xin fall into my hands! Otherwise, I’ll make him pay the price.”
Seeing that Jiang Ying was about to lose his mind, the emperor hurriedly said, “Jiang Ying, don’t be blinded by anger and lose your calm.”
Thinking of the grievances Ning Yue had suffered, Jiang Ying couldn’t calm down.
But the emperor was right. Only by staying calm could he catch Lian Xin.
“Imperial Brother, it’s already very late. I’ll go back first. Tomorrow, I’ll head to the royal temple to investigate those things,” Jiang Ying said.
The emperor nodded. “Be careful on the way.”
After leaving the palace, Jiang Ying planned to return to the Ning family directly, but he did not expect to meet Nan Xing halfway.
He wanted to turn around and leave, but Nan Xing stopped him. “I knew you would definitely enter the palace to see him in the next few days. I’ve been waiting for you for a few days before you finally arrived. But from the looks of it, you don’t even want to see me anymore. Is our childhood relationship gone?” Nan Xing asked Jiang Ying.
