Chapter 482: Feigned Death
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
As long as she thought of the explosives, Ning Yue felt her entire body break out in cold sweat. That was too terrifying. If the emperor of the Black City Kingdom wanted to fight and had the ambition to unify the world, the explosives would be used on the battlefield.
If that was the case, the outcome would really be unpredictable.
Seeing Ning Yue’s worried expression, Yuan Hui said, “Alright, let’s not think too much. If they really use it, we have no choice. After all, ancient technology is not advanced.”
Ning Yue sighed heavily. “But I don’t want to see the commoners displaced.”
The people were innocent. The war would bring them nothing but loss and pain.
“I don’t want to see it either. So does my original body. That’s why he has the idea of joining forces with the Emperor of the Great Yun Nation,” Yuan Hui said.
Ning Yue took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She did not dare to imagine the tragic scene of the Black City Kingdom using explosives on the battlefield.
Then, she opened her eyes and looked at Yuan Hui. “Uncle, you have to destroy the ambitions of the Black City Kingdom.”
“Of course. I don’t want to see the commoners displaced either,” Yuan Hui said.
The two of them continued to chat for a while before Yuan Hui remembered why he had come to look for Ning Yue today.
“Look at my brain. I actually forgot to talk to you about serious matters,” Yuan Hui said in frustration.
Ning Yue smiled and asked Yuan Hui, “What does Uncle want to tell me?”
“Let me tell you, Lian Xin is very cunning. He once faked his death several times to avoid the battles of his enemies. Every time, his enemies felt that he was really dead, but it was fake.”
Ning Yue was slightly stunned. She did not expect Yuan Hui to be talking about Lian Xin.
“But Jiang Ying told me with certainty that he was really dead,” Ning Yue said.
Hearing Ning Yue say so confidently that Lian Xin was dead, he suddenly laughed out loud. “He came back from the dead three times before. The first time, he was wrapped in straw and thrown into a mass grave. It didn’t take long for him to come back to life. The second time he was nailed to a coffin and buried, he came back to life not long after. The third time is now. Do you think he’ll die?”
Yuan Hui’s words made Ning Yue’s eyes widen. She asked in disbelief, “You mean he faked his death?”
This person was too disgusting. He had faked his death more than once. “Did anyone make sure that he was dead during the previous two deaths?” Ning Yue frowned.
Yuan Hui shrugged. “Who knows? What I find strange is that he was nailed to a coffin for burial the second time. He still came back to life.”
“I think it’s very strange too. He was nailed to a coffin for burial. Even if he comes back to life, someone will save him, right? Was his grave dug up?” Ning Yue asked.
“I’m not sure. In any case, he came back to life just like that. Therefore, 1 think his death this time is fake,” Yuan Hui said.
“No, 1 have to tell Jiang Ying about this.” With that, Ning Yue ran out.
Jiang Ying had entered the palace at this moment. She had to enter the palace to find him.
When the guards at the palace gate saw that it was Ning Yue, they did not stop her, because the emperor had once ordered that if Ning Yue entered the palace, they were not allowed to stop her.
Ning Yue entered the palace and asked a few eunuchs before knowing that Jiang Ying was discussing something with the emperor in the imperial study.
She waited for the eunuch to report to the emperor.
Hearing that Ning Yue had arrived, the emperor was also overjoyed and hurriedly instructed, “Quick, let her in.”
Ning Yue walked in and bowed to the emperor. “Emperor, I have a question. Is Lian Xin really dead?”
Hearing Ning Yue’s question, the emperor’s eyes lit up and he immediately asked her, “Did you find anything?”
Ning Yue frowned and asked her question. “I heard that he faked his death twice. Will it be the same this time?”
The emperor was silent. He had been discussing this with Jiang Ying just now. He also felt that Lian Xin had faked his death, but Jiang Ying had said that his death was very real and had already asked the doctor to investigate.
Originally, Jiang Ying was still confident, but after hearing Ning Yue’s question, he suddenly hesitated.
“I’m a little uncertain from what you’re saying. At first, a doctor confirmed that he was dead and his pulse had stopped. He should be dead,” Jiang Ying said with a bitter smile..
