The emperor’s imperial edict stated that the two of them would get married on the 5th of next month and everything went on as usual.
Before the wedding, in the distant Black City Kingdom, or Russia now, Lian Xin arrived. His name was no longer Lian Xin. He had changed his name.
He hadn’t chosen either of the two names he’d once used. His name was Mai Cheng now.
“Why did you suddenly come?” Ning Yue asked.
“Can’t I come to a good friend’s wedding?” Mai Cheng said.
“Good friend?” Ning Yue was a little confused.
“Or someone from her maiden family?” Mai Cheng said tentatively.
“Maiden family?” Ning Yue repeated.
“Hey, that’s enough. Give me some face. I’m from the same place as you. We’re considered from the same hometown. Can’t I give you a congratulatory gift when you get married?” Mai Cheng said.
“Do you have a fever?” Ning Yue asked again.
Mai Cheng was speechless and instantly didn’t know what to say. He had come to give a congratulatory gift out of goodwill, but Ning Yue actually said that he had a fever.
Wasn’t she indirectly saying that his brain wasn’t working?
Mai Cheng didn’t know what to say. He sighed and replied, “I’ll send you a congratulatory gift. Happy marriage.”
“Oh, oh, oh. Thank you,” Ning Yue said.
Then, there was another silence. In the end, Ning Yue asked him curiously, “Don’t you feel terrible that your throne is gone?”
Mai Cheng was stunned. That’s right. His throne was gone. He smiled bitterly. “If I don’t give up the throne, Russia and Great Yun Nation won’t let the Black City Kingdom off, right?”
Ning Yue did not say anything. Yes, with Mai Cheng’s madness, Great Yun Nation and Russia would definitely not leave him alone.
If it had been the previous emperor, they might not have dealt with the Black City Kingdom so early. But Mai Cheng was different. He was a crazy man.
“Why are you so crazy?” Ning Yue finally asked the question in her heart.
When Mai Cheng was in the Great Yun Nation, he set fire to the entire East Street, displacing the commoners. When he returned to the Black City Kingdom, he killed the previous emperor.
Why would he do that?
Mai Cheng smiled and said, “It’s in the past.”
Ning Yue was silent. Was it over? Could such a thing be over?
In the past, she had wanted to personally capture Mai Cheng to give an explanation to the dead and injured commoners.
But now, he could casually say that it was in the past.
How could he live with such a thing?
Looking at Ning Yue’s expression, Mai Cheng knew that he had said something wrong. He sighed heavily and said, “I don’t mean anything else. I mean, those things have already happened. It’s useless to pursue the matter now.”
At this point, Mai Cheng stopped for a while and glanced at Ning Yue’s expression. In the end, he realized that Ning Yue still did not look too good.
He knew that Ning Yue minded those things.
But on second thought, those things in the past were so bastardly!
“It’s almost your wedding day. Don’t mention those annoying things in the past. It’s true that I did something wrong,” Mai Cheng said.
Ning Yue looked at Mai Cheng deeply. What should she say?
There seemed to be nothing she could say. Mai Cheng had done something wrong, but now he had taken the initiative to admit it.
She really didn’t know what to say. Should she praise Mai Cheng or scold him?
“I don’t know what you’re thinking. Those were human lives. How could you write it off? Are human lives so worthless in your eyes?” Ning Yue said.
She couldn’t even see what kind of person Mai Cheng was anymore. He kept saying that the ancient times weren’t good and how good things were in the modern world.
But didn’t what he did go against the laws in the modern world?
Mai Cheng was about to answer when Ning Yue said, “You think you’re from the modern era and different from the people here in ancient times, but in your heart, do you treat ancient people as human lives?”
“The modern law treats murderers equally. You didn’t even get a sentence,” Ning Yue said in one breath.
Her words also embarrassed Mai Cheng. The expectant light in Mai Cheng’s eyes disappeared. He was here to beg Ning Yue for forgiveness.
There were many things he couldn’t help but do, including the fire on East Street.
Ning Yue seemed to see through Mai Cheng’s thoughts. She sighed and said, “Dissociative identity disorder isn’t an illness, nor is it an excuse for you to kill someone.”
Mai Cheng’s expression turned even uglier. He glanced at Ning Yue and turned to flee.
His desire to explain the situation disappeared without a trace at this moment..
