The Great Eastern Emperor's face was dark and gloomy as he glared at Ning Qing and spoke through gritted teeth.
"Protect the country, the prime minister?"
Ning Qing nodded.
"Yes, the birth dates of those two brothers are exceptionally rare, and there are signs that they are blessed by heaven and man. If they live, the country will be strong; if they die, the country will be in chaos."
He pretended to hesitate for a moment before speaking slowly.
“The Emperor Star is surrounded by dark energy, which is why the two brothers are not doing well, and the heavens and the people are displeased.”
The Great Eastern Emperor's face was dark and his eyes were sharp as blades as he shot at Ning Qing.
He asked seriously.
"Is what the Imperial Advisor said true?"
Ning Qing nodded.
"This matter concerns the fate of the nation and is of great importance; I dare not speak recklessly."
The Great Eastern Emperor coldly scrutinized Ning Qing for a moment, seemingly trying to discern whether Ning Qing was lying.
Unfortunately, no matter how he observed, he could not find the answer he wanted.
He let out a heavy sigh.
Frustrated, he waved his hand to dismiss Ning Qing; he needed to be alone.
Seeing this, Ning Qing gave another perfunctory cupped-hand salute and turned to leave.
On the way back, the system finally couldn't help but ask: Host, is it really okay for you to fool people like this?
Ning Qing: This isn't just empty talk. If he dares to touch my wife again, I will definitely make him pay.
System: So after all this time, you're the celestial being you were talking about.
Ning Qing smiled but remained silent.
Of course, you have to protect your own wife well.
When Ning Qing returned to the mansion, she had just stepped into the courtyard.
Then, Garan came to greet them with a look of anxiety on his face.
He called out softly and hesitantly, "My lord."
Ning Qing curled her lips into a faint smile.
"What, are you getting impatient?"
Garan shook his head.
"No, it's just..."
Ning Qing raised her hand and gently stroked his fair and smooth cheek with her fingertips.
"Just what? Hmm..."
When Ning Qing's fingertips gently touched the skin of her cheek, Jialan felt an unpleasant sensation, as if she had been electrocuted, and immediately turned her face slightly to avoid it.
The words of concern that he originally wanted to say were swallowed back down because of Ning Qing's frivolous actions.
Ning Qing also knew why he was anxious.
He offered words of comfort.
"Don't worry, I said I would protect you for life, and I will definitely keep my word. You can stay here in peace."
Jialan heard Ning Qing's ambiguous words again, which sounded like a confession.
He lifted his eyelids and gazed intently into the depths of Ning Qing's eyes with a look of inquiry.
Ning Qing's eyes were calm and serious.
Garan's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that what this person said was the truth, or just frivolous flirting?
Ning Qing noticed the look of inquiry and doubt in his eyes.
She held his hand tightly and raised it slightly.
She gazed intently at him.
"You don't need to doubt the truth of my words. If someone is destined to enter my heart, it will definitely be you, and no one else."
She squeezed his hand tighter.
"I know it's a bit abrupt to say this now, but the moment I saw you, I secretly decided in my heart that I wanted to protect you for the rest of my life and let you live a carefree life."
Garan...
You knew it was abrupt, yet you still said it.
But what's with this subtle sweet feeling rising in my heart?
Jialan blinked her beautiful phoenix eyes, her innocence revealing a natural allure.
Extremely tempting.
Ning Qing suddenly felt her mouth and tongue dry.
She looked away, afraid that if she looked any longer, she would turn into a hungry wolf.
Seeing Ning Qing's reaction, Jialan smiled, a radiant smile spreading across his face.
Ning Qing gritted her teeth.
Stop laughing. Don't cry if something happens later.
