Chapter 1985 - 1979: Angels and Demons

Ye Ning squinted her eyes, "When did it start?"

"It was like this even before ascending the throne."

He chuckled, "Everyone underestimated His Majesty, thinking he was just a child, easy to control, that giving him power wouldn’t matter, but little did they know..."

He shook his head, "It wouldn’t have mattered anyway."

QM laughed from behind, "But, you’re losing control more and more, aren’t you?"

"No, you’re wrong, we never had control," he turned back, "these people now were all personally chosen by His Majesty, including me."

"Oh?"

"All those who opposed him in the past have vanished without a trace."

Zuo Qirui said, "People outside say that I’m the brain behind His Majesty, but actually, I’m just one of His Majesty’s wives. You know, when His Majesty appointed me as Prime Minister, he said something."

"What?"

Zuo Qirui said, "At the national assembly, His Majesty looked at me and said, ’Do you want to be the Prime Minister?’ At that time, I was still the Council President, of course I wanted to, so I said I did. His Majesty said, ’Good, then from now on, all of you must listen to Prime Minister Zuo, because Prime Minister Zuo only listens to me.’

Gu Qingcheng was taken aback.

How could such a young child be this domineering?

QM said, "He’s really... a sickly darling."

"Indeed, I’ve heard that ever since His Majesty was rescued from Z Country, he seemed to have become a different person. He had people learn the most advanced protection measures from various countries, study various organizations, including the mysterious ones, and then set up a tight security around himself. Some say, His Majesty was once almost killed by a mysterious organization, and he took it very seriously after coming back."

Ye Ning thought, it must be because of that time.

That time, she died in front of him, it must have shaken him greatly.

That time, he was captured, he must have been terrified.

She closed her eyes, recalling his clear gaze when he looked at her.

That look, absolutely no trace of violence.

Was it all just an act?

No, it wasn’t an act, she could tell.

Zuo Qirui continued, "It’s the first time I’ve seen His Majesty so obedient, like a little child."

He turned his head and stared at Ye Ning, "Only in front of Miss Ye."

QM chuckled, "Now, this is getting interesting."

Ye Ning took a deep breath, at this moment, her emotions were too complex to judge.

At this time.

Xiaojian returned.

He saw the group standing here and hurried over.

"Sister, what’s wrong?"

Ye Ning exhaled, looking at Xiaojian now looking just like a child, her mood becoming ever more complicated, yet she still smiled and said, "Oh, nothing, I’ve been sitting for a long time, came out for a walk, a stroll. By the way, you’re here on official business, aren’t you? I’m bothering you by staying here, how about we move to another place?"

Xiaojian’s gaze flickered, then looked to the side, scanning the two people beside him.

Gu Qingcheng and QM, his look carrying a kind of accusation.

As if saying, is it you who won’t let sister stay here?

After a few seconds of cold, silent gaze, he withdrew it and grabbed Ye Ning’s hand again, instantly reverting to a child’s state, "Sister, don’t go, I just saw you, I don’t want you to leave. There are still many things I haven’t told you, and many things I haven’t given you..."
