In the emperor’s eyes, such a beautiful woman was merely a plaything to be discarded at any moment. He despised the Yan family and aimed to overthrow their empire. The Chen Kingdom’s inability to defeat the Yan family and the consequences for her would also be addressed.
Sui Huan murmured “A Mi, A Mi…” confused about whom he was trying to rescue, Ning Ruan or Ning Mi.
Ning Ye, chin raised defiantly, stated, “Who is A Mi? Are you going to find her or my sister? I won’t let you go. You are mine. I must marry you!”
Sui Huan replied, “Do as you wish,” before walking away and riding off.
Ning Ye clenched her fist, unwilling to let go after her sacrifices. She jumped on a horse and followed him.
Meanwhile, Ruan Ning had been locked in a dark room for days, distinguishing time only by three meals. After leaving Ji Capital, she was sometimes transported at night, but the tightening situation forced them to hide in an abandoned courtyard, waiting for Sui Huan to find a solution. Ruan Ning had communicated with the system multiple times, but the limited rewards meant she could not secure escape assistance and had to endure her situation.
“Jiao Jiao, are you sure tormenting the host is legal? Do you have a complaint channel?” Ruan Ning threatened helplessly.
“The host can choose email, site message, or Weibo to file a complaint. We adhere to fair principles, and relevant personnel will handle complaints promptly,” the standard female voice replied.
“Then I’ll complain now that you’re abusing the host!” Ruan Ning said angrily.
“First, you need a mobile phone, computer, or pad to file a complaint,” the voice responded cheerfully.
Ruan Ning: …
I’m in an ancient novel; where am I supposed to get a mobile phone or computer?
“Host, please be patient. Perhaps there will be a breakthrough soon. Sui Huan is about to arrive,” the voice continued.
Ruan Ning was startled. Sui Huan, not Yan Xuan?
Footsteps shuffled outside, and soon Sui Huan strode in, embracing her tightly: “A Ruan, I’m here!”
“Let go!” Ruan Ning pushed him away.
Sui Huan embraced her again: “A Ruan, don’t be angry. I’m late.”
