When Mu Yi saw that Qingluo did not trust him, he became a little anxious, but looking at Qingluo"s indifference, he could not even say a word…

‘It"s not a surprise if Qingluo did not trust me. How can she believe in me after what I"ve done to her these years.

‘I owe Qingluo too much in this life…"

Mu Yi closed his eyes in sorrow and said nothing. His face was so pale that Qingluo"s heart almost softened again after seeing him in such condition.

‘No. My daughter and I will suffer if he doesn"t drive Little Nine away."

Therefore…

Qingluo remained cold. She was no longer looking at Mu Yi. She simply turned around and walked into the room. She slammed the door of the room fiercely, leaving Mu Yi speechless.

Mu Yi laughed bitterly.

He looked at the closed door for a while before turning around and walking out of the courtyard.

After that day, he went again to find the Ninth Emperor, and every time he entered the courtyard, he would be trapped inside for a night. The same thing repeated for several days, and even the Ninth Emperor"s people were impatient. Therefore, they locked him for three days and three nights before he was released.

Dongfang Yu handled these things. The Ninth Emperor stayed peacefully inside her courtyard together with Nan Changfeng.

Later, Mu Yi learned to be wise and no longer snuck into the courtyard. He secretly hid outside the gate, waiting for the Ninth Emperor.

After all, the Ninth Emperor could not remain inside at all times.

Moreover, he clearly heard a voice in this courtyard, but he could not find her every time he went in.

He guessed the courtyard was set up with some formation so that he could not enter.

As expected, not long after, he saw a figure in a red dress slowly walking out of the courtyard.

The suns.h.i.+ne was perfect today.

The Ninth Emperor stretched her body lazily with a smile upon her face.

Looking at her smile, Mu Yi"s heart trembled a little. He could not help but think of that person again back then.

Unfortunately…

She was long gone.

If she were still there, perhaps all this mess would not have happened.

Mu Yi smiled bitterly and walked toward the Ninth Emperor.

The Ninth Emperor looked up and coincidentally saw Mu Yi walking toward her. She frowned and looked a little annoyed.

“Why are you here again?”

She had a headache whenever she saw this man.

Mu Yi looked a little embarra.s.sed. “Little Nine, why haven"t I been able to see you these past few days when I went to your courtyard?”

“Oh…” The Ninth Emperor was expressionless. “It"s because I don"t want you to see me.”

Hearing these words, Mu Yi froze, and the smile on his lips grew bitter. He then sighed lightly.

“I came to find you because there is something I want to talk to you about.”

The Ninth Emperor raised her eyebrows and turned to Mu Yi.

Mu Yi smiled helplessly, “It has been a long time since you came here. I wonder… When will you leave…”

The Ninth Emperor was stunned.

‘Earlier, this man was trying every possible way to get me home, and in the blink of an eye, he wants to drive me away?

‘Hehe…"

The Ninth Emperor smiled coldly as she turned to Mu Yi. “Is this kingdom yours?”

Mu Yi"s expression changed dramatically. “Little Nine, don"t talk nonsense. This kingdom is the emperor"s!”
