The Physician Wife Who Overturned The World

45. I'll Allow

Facing the pressure from Ye Jiushang, Emperor Nanling barely hung on a thread. He felt as if there was a huge mountain pressing down on him, making it difficult to breathe. Upon seeing Yan Song kneeling on the ground in shock, he became even more nervous.

As the ruler of a country, he was actually afraid of a ruler in such a way. If word got out, wouldn't he make everyone laugh?

Emperor Nanling tried his best to maintain his composure. He continued to say to himself, I am the Emperor of the Nanling Empire. I don't have to be afraid of anyone.

“Uncle of the Ninth Empire, I am here today because the army of Dongxiang Empire has violated my borders. As for the Duke's Residence and Imperial Advisory Residence, let's talk about it later, okay?”

“Let me ask you this. If Xue Batian was still the War God of the Nanling Empire, would the Dongxiang Empire have the courage to attack the borders of the Nanling Empire? You don't even understand imperial roots, imperial foundations, and rich royal resources. How can you protect the Nanling Empire? You can't tolerate Xue Batian, but you must also rely on him to protect the imperial throne. You want your horse to be good, but you also want your horse not to eat grass. How could there be such a good thing in the world? Your latest action is just like this board game. You seek death.” Ye Jiushang did not mince words at all, revealing the dark side of the emperor in public and giving him no face.

Although Emperor Nanling was displeased, he did not dare to say anything. The pressure Ye Jiushang emitted made him almost lose his balance.

He always knew that Ye Jiushang was mysterious and powerful. Otherwise, the Ancestral Emperor would not have lowered his status to summon Ye Jiushang as his brother.

Ye Jiushang and the Ancestral Emperor greeted each other as brothers. In terms of seniority, he was much higher than her. It was impolite for him to call Ye Jiushang as the Ninth Imperial Uncle.

He really did not know what background this person had.

After Ye Jiushang finished with Emperor Nanling, he turned his gaze to Yan Song, who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a mocking tone, saying, “A small Royal Counselor who is not a descendant of the founding father or someone from a large family. Just because he had a good daughter and a good grandson, he had forgotten who conquered this kingdom. One of you is cold-headed, while the other is dangerous. If the Nanling Empire does not perish, I will feel strange.”

“Uncle of the Ninth Empire, I, I.” Yan Song wants to say something, but he is too scared. His whole body was trembling. He could not say a word for a long time. He felt like the sky was collapsing and he was about to die.

He and Xue Batian had fought openly and secretly for many years and were always on balance. Who knew that the Ninth Imperial Uncle would suddenly appear and break this balance?

If he knew that the Ninth Empire's Uncle would protect Xue Batian, even if he were beaten to death back then, he wouldn't dare to send people to kill Xue Batian!

"I'm tired. Go back to where you came from. As for the matter of the Nanling Kingdom, it was caused by you. Because you plant the seeds, enjoy the fruits yourself. I will not interfere in the affairs of state. Also, I'll give you some advice. I already have a marriage relationship with the Duke's Residence. If you continue to do something to the people of the Duke's Residence, don't blame me for being cruel.”

When Ye Jiushang ordered them to leave, Emperor Nanling and Yan Song seemed to have received an amnesty order and left hurriedly without saying a word. It was only when they walked out of the door of the Dukes Residence that their tense nerves finally relaxed a little.

Perhaps it was because of Ye Jiushang's words, but the way Emperor Nanling looked at Yan Song now was no longer as easy as before. There is more hate now.

Although the words of Ninth Empire's Uncle were ugly, it made sense. If not for Yan Song fanning the flames and spreading discord, he would not have any prejudice against Xue Batian.

Wouldn't that make the Imperial Advisory House the only one who could threaten his imperial authority?

Ye Jiushang's cold arrogance and contempt for Emperor Nanling expanded Xue Fanxin's horizons. He admired this mysterious and unfathomable Ninth Imperial Uncle from the bottom of his heart.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Ye Jiushang sipped his tea elegantly. He did not need to look up to know that Xue Fanxin was staring at him.

Xue Fanxin propped up her chin with both hands and looked at Ye Jiushang openly. Tilting her little head, she acted innocent and cute. He asked seriously, “Ah Jiu, who are you really? You really scared Emperor Nanling to such an extent. You're impressive.”

"Ah Jiu's?" Ye Jiushang was surprised and curious by the nickname Xue Fanxin suddenly gave him. He pondered for a moment and felt it sounded quite pleasant to hear, so he accepted it.

Of course, this nickname was exclusive to him, others would not be allowed to use it.

“I gave you a temporary call. If you don't like it, I can change back and continue calling you Ninth Imperial Uncle. Anyway, it's just a call it doesn't matter what I call you.”

"I'll let it go."

"What?"

“From now on, you can call me Ah Jiu, and only you can call me that.”

"Sad." Xue Fanxin rolled her eyes towards Ye Jiushang with a look of disdain. In fact, he already had an inexplicable sense of trust in her.

Although she had not known him for long and did not know much about him, she had a special feeling towards him. She trusted him deeply and felt that he was the one she could rely on.

At first, he was quite rejecting this feeling. However, after careful thought, it seemed unnecessary. If Ye Jiushang wanted to hurt him or get something out of him, with his ability, he could have done it a long time ago. No need to do much for him.

Furthermore, Ye Jiushang had stepped forward to help him out of his predicament several times.

When Ye Jiushang saw Xue Fanxin's innocent and cute appearance, he couldn't help but rub her head. With a smile that he never showed to others, he said softly, “Be well rested for two days. Then, we leave.”

"depart? Where's?"

“I previously said that I will give you five days to deal with things in the Dukes Residence and then take you somewhere. As for where it is, you will know when you get there. Just now, your grandfather lost to me in chess, so I can take you away for a month. After a month, I'll bring you back unscathed.”

“So that's why you played chess with my grandfather. It's just that Grandpa looks so serious. In the past, he never cared about winning or losing. Ah Jiu, if we go, what if Emperor Nanling attacks Grandpa again?” Xue Fanxin asked worriedly. He did not mind going with Ye Jiushang, but he was worried about his grandfather.

“You can be sure about your grandfather's safety. The person I want to protect, not to mention the little Emperor Nanling, even if the strongest person in Tongxuan Continent comes, they will not be able to touch him,” Ye Jiushang said domineeringly. From his tone, it seemed like the strongest person in Tongxuan Continent was a small warrior to him. There was no need to fear him, and he did not care at all.

Xue Fanxin was no longer worried. With the help of the Ninth Empire's Uncle in protecting his grandfather, he was able to come out without worry and expand his horizons.. Only then could he come up with a better plan.
