Chapter 937: In Good Hands

Translator: Vesper

Xiao Qi Feng suddenly took out a jade pendant and looked at it seriously. He eventually laughed at himself.

Qiao Tian Chang spent a lot of time finding this jade pendant at the time he ascended the throne. Now the jade was still with him but the man who found it was no longer around. Ah, this was all his own fault.

Xiao Qi Feng touched the jade pendant gently. He took a deep breath then put the jade pendant away. Anyway he had wanted to apologize to Qiao Tian Chang, but they did not want to tell him where he was.

“Emperor, you... are you okay?” These days, the Emperor had been acting like this a lot. He would take out the jade pendant given by General Qiao and stare at it. Then, he would keep it back after a while, but said nothing.

“Nothing, Nan Zhuang, do you think I am wrong?” Xiao Qi Feng asked with a confused expression.

Nan Zhuang did not understand for a moment. He did not know what Xiao Qi Feng meant, so he was quiet for some time.

However, Xiao Qi Feng did not intend to hear any answer from Nan Zhuang. He had just asked casually.

“Emperor, don’t worry. Didn’t the imperial doctor already tell you? You have to rest well and not overwork yourself.” Nan Zhuang looked worriedly at Xiao Qi Feng.

The Emperor’s health was worsening with each passing day. Even the doctors could not help. So Nan Zhuang could not do anything but watch nervously as the Emperor coughed up blood.

Xiao Qi Feng laughed. Perhaps at this point, Nan Zhuang was the only one that could treat him the same way as before, nothing would change between them.

“Nan Zhuang, please follow Qi Tian in the future, and help him.” Xiao Qi Tian thought of a way out for Nan Zhuang.

“Emperor, this old slave will follow you no matter where you are.” Nan Zhuang was already old, he could not bear much conflict anymore. He had not planned to continue living if anything really happened to Xiao Qi Feng.

If it had not been the Emperor’s kind heart that saved him last time, he would have already been pulled for conviction. How would he even have the life that he was having now?

Xiao Qi Feng smiled silently, but there was a trace of helplessness in his eyes.

After waiting for a day, the two uncles of the Mu family finally arrived. They were very happy to see Mu Chen.

After they had visited the child, Mu Chen called them to his study room in his courtyard and told them something.

After listening to Mu Chen, both uncles felt a little strange and what he told them was beyond comprehension.

They had heard about the recent events in the Xiao Empire, but they never expected it to be that serious. And that their niece would betray and ignore their friendship and take action against that young lady.

“Chen’er, have you thought about it clearly?” Mu Chen’s uncle asked him very seriously.

A lot was at stake in this matter and they must give clarity.

“Uncle, I’m sure. Grandfather has you guys with him. I’m going to help Meng Yao. Her kindness to me is something I would never forget in my life.” Mu Chen thought of what Ning Meng Yao did for him and his sister, and naturally came to a decision. He would not leave Ning Meng Yao no matter what. He would be with her and she would be in good hands, no matter where they were.

Mu Chen’s uncles also knew about Ning Meng Yao. Although they were reluctant, they nodded anyway.

“I guess this is also good. We will keep an eye on Xue’er here, don’t you worry.”

“Thank you, uncle.”

The three of them discussed for a long time in the study room. Situ Xuan did not know what they discussed, but noticed both uncles’ had ugly expression on their faces when they came out from the study room.

She looked at Mu Chen worriedly. She was relieved when she saw him shaking his head, indicating that everything was okay.

“When are you going to leave, Chen’er?”

“We have already packed our things up. We will leave tomorrow. Uncle, you guys take care.” Mu Chen said softly to both of his uncles. He also felt very reluctant.

The two of them nodded and said nothing more. They were worried that if they continued to speak, they would not be able to stop themselves from persuading Mu Chen to stay. This was not what they wanted, nor was it something Mu Chen could accept.

Somehow Mu Xue found out that Mu Chen was leaving. She ignored Xiao Qi Tian and her Nanny’s objection. She stumbled her way to Mu Chen’s courtyard.

Upon arrival, she pushed open the door violently, and glared at both Mu Chen and his wife who were chatting in the room. Her expression was unsightly.
