When he returned to his residence, Yuan Hui told Ning Yue with a solemn expression that the old Regent had passed away.

Ning Yue’s eyes widened in shock. “What happened? Why did he pass away?”

“He probably took all the blame to protect Lian Xin.” Yuan Hui sighed heavily.

At the side, Jiang Ying also sighed. Although the old Regent hated the Great Yun Nation, he was indeed a formidable figure.

In order to protect the Black City Kingdom, he had done this and ended his life. His courage was commendable.

Seeing Jiang Ying’s expression, Ning Yue couldn’t help but say, “The old Regent has always hated Great Yun Nation. He wants Lian Xin to remember never to return to Great Yun Nation.”

Jiang Ying nodded. He didn’t know about others, but he knew the old Regent’s personality very well. He didn’t know what the Great Yun Nation had done to make him hate them so much.

Was it purely because he did not want the country to return to the Great Yun Nation after independence?

Jiang Ying felt that that was not the case. He took a deep breath and said, “Let’s not care about this problem. We can’t leave the Black City Kingdom for the time being.”

After all, the old Regent had just left. If they left now, there would be rumors about them.

Yuan Hui did not think so. He said, “Once the old Regent dies, Lian Xin will speed up and turn the Black City Kingdom into a city of Russia. You have to send someone to tell your emperor about this.”

He had to take over the Black City Kingdom, but he couldn’t hurt the harmony between Russia and the Great Yun Nation because of this.

“Alright, 1’11 go now.” Jiang Ying stood up and ordered someone to send the news back to Great Yun Nation.

The next morning, Yuan Hui, Ning Yue, and Jiang Ying went to the residence to pay their respects to the old Regent.

The procedures for paying respects were normal. Everyone in the residence was saddened by the old Regent’s departure.

Just as the three of them were about to leave, a child suddenly rushed out of the prince’s residence and rushed to Ning Yue to kick her. He was holding a whip.

He cursed at Ning Yue, “You murderer, you’re here to laugh at us, right?! My grandfather is dead. He was killed by you!”

Ning Yue was at a loss. This child said that she was a murderer? What had she done?

“Little kid, did you get the wrong person?” Ning Yue asked him.

From this child’s words, his grandfather should be the old Regent. He said that Ning Yue killed the old Regent. What was going on?

At the side, Yuan Hui pulled the child aside and looked around with a dark expression. “The old Regent was dead, but was everyone in the residence dead? Couldn’t they control a child?”

This child looked to be nine or ten years old. The ancients matured early. Children of this age were already sensible, but he still punched and kicked Ning Yue.

He wouldn’t believe it if he said that he hadn’t been taught by an adult!

Hearing Yuan Hui’s words, a woman walked out of the old Regent’s Residence. She walked to the child’s side in fear.

“I’m—I’m sorry. The child is naughty,” the woman forced herself to say, but she hated her husband to death.

What he did today was caused by her husband. He said that as long as this rumor spread, the reputation of Great Yun Nation would be ruined.

With the status of the Old Regent’s Residence in the Black City Kingdom, these three people would become hated and chased out of the Black City Kingdom.

It made sense, but who was going to tell her that this man would not be shaken so easily?

“Is the child naughty, or is he lacking discipline?” Yuan Hui asked coldly. “The legitimate princess of our Russia is high and mighty. You can’t catch up to her even if you flatter her. What right do you have to make your child cause a scene here?”

Every word was heartbreaking, and it had long frightened the woman until her face turned pale. She looked at Yuan Hui in disbelief.

So, was this man the legendary Emperor of Russia?

That bloodthirsty sovereign?

It was over. She was finished. The old Regent’s Residence was finished!

That was the woman’s first thought.

Ning Yue glanced at the child, who was also frightened. She said, “The child is innocent. He is innocent and young. I believe none of this was his intention.”

Originally, Ning Yue meant that she did not want to blame the child, but after saying this, the woman was afraid.

She didn’t mean it this way and she didn’t do it on purpose. She never taught her children to do these things. She was terrified.

“Your Highness, I’m sorry. I didn’t teach my child well. Please forgive him.” The woman’s voice was faintly tearful..
