Chapter 344: The Former Mage
Ni Naina opened her eyes and found that she was hugging Qin Hanmo with one leg on his. In order not to wake her up, Qin Hanmo kept the same posture and stared at her with his beautiful phoenix eyes.
"Good morning, Princess." Qin Hanmo greeted first with a smile.
"Oh, Your Majesty, you can still laugh." Ni Naina joked, diffusing herself from the embarrassing situation, and then withdrew her hand.
"How can I not be happy to hold the princess in my arms?" Qin Hanmo said.
"It's time to go to court." Ni Nainai stood up and said, "Someone, change your clothes."
"Yes." The maids at the door hurried into the house to help them wash and change clothes. It was the first time for them to serve their master like this.
Seeing their masters going out in pairs, they were so happy.
"Ye Nanming came back again last night." Qin Hanmo said.
"I know. The person who assassinated the empress dowager last night was an imposter." Ni Naina said.
"You know?" Qin Hanmo was shocked and then recovered quickly. Yes, nothing could be hidden from her.
"Lingyang, bring the people in the dungeon and interrogate them in the Golden Palace today." Ni Naina ordered.
"Yes." Lingyang responded, bowed and went to make arrangements.
"Maybe the truth will be revealed today." Ni Naina said, looking at Qin Hanmo, "Prince, leave this small matter to me, and you should assist His Majesty in governing the country."
"The world is in turmoil right now, Princess, thank you for your hard work." Qin Hanmo looked at Ni Naina meaningfully.
Ni Naina nodded slightly. Perhaps the reason why the world has become like this is because of her arrival. Otherwise, perhaps the world would remain the same as usual, and there would not be so many people from other worlds coming here.
In the court...
The man in black, Xiuyang, was brought to the main hall by two guards.
"I am so unwilling to fall into the hands of a teenage girl like you today!" Xiuyang, dressed in tattered clothes, looked at Ni Nanai in the hall. He wanted to see through Ni Nanai with his eyes that he thought could see through everything.
However, the person of Ni Nanai was just a blank in front of him.
"So, you can't even defeat a teenage girl, how can you be so naive to think of coming to our country to cause trouble. Tell the truth, where are you from and what is your purpose?" Ni Nanai asked.
"Since I'm already in your hands, you can kill me or chop me up as you please. The person who can get words out of me hasn't been born yet." Xiuyang ignored everyone in the court.
"You are so arrogant! If someone like you follows our master, he will definitely make you perfect." Ni Nanai said as she walked in front of Xiuyang with a slight smile on her lips, which instantly made Xiuyang tremble all over.
"You, you, what do you want to do?" Xiuyang looked at her nervously.
"My master values talents like you, but what you need to do now is to tell me all your secrets. My master will protect your life and enable you to shine in my Donggu country." Ni Nanai said without exaggeration.
All the court officials were secretly shocked for a moment; it was sheer nonsense that the imperial teacher wanted to protect such a person, and it was likely to cause chaos in the world.
"Hmph, even if I fall into your hands, I will not be at your service!" Xiuyang said with great backbone.
"Well, since you won't tell me, then this master can only use other methods." Ni Nanai took off the hairpin on her head and chanted a spell to him, "All living beings in the world are under my control, hollow."
In an instant, Xiuyang became stunned, as if he had become a completely different person.
"Tell me your name, where you are from, your purpose of coming here, and who ordered you to do so. Don't miss a single word." Ni Nanai said as she slowly walked back to her seat and sat down.
"My name is Xiuyang, I'm 62 years old, a former mage from a western country. I was imprisoned by the royal family of the northern country for three years, and I escaped a few days ago. In order to provoke a war between your two countries, I could only take the princess's northern poison flower to poison the queen mother."
"But I didn't expect that I was no match for a little girl like you. You were able to keep your composure and even detoxify the North Poison Flower. This is unprecedented. I failed. You can kill me or chop me up as you please. I can rest in peace in this life if I can see someone who can detoxify the North Poison Flower."
"Aren't all your actions instructed by the Northern Royal Family?" the prince asked at this time.
"Hahaha..." Xiuyang laughed and said, "Of course not. Before I came here, I had already poisoned the old emperor. He will not live more than a month. If you want to start a rebellion, now is the time."
"You've made a wrong calculation. The world is peaceful now and people live and work in peace and contentment. This is what we want." Qin Hanmo said angrily.
"If we miss this opportunity, there will be no next time. I hope that His Majesty the King will quickly raise his army and attack the Northern Kingdom's palace. I believe that as long as the national master is here, it should be easy for thousands of troops to enter the Northern Kingdom's palace, right?"
