Chapter 734: Chapter 735 You Forgot One Person_1

Now that Xiao Changyi was present, how could the Emperor of Xiyun insist on such a matter? Nonetheless, the Emperor had already resolved that once he returned to the Capital, he would promote An Jing.

Of course, by then he would have his son Su Chengyu present a request in the great hall, and he would simply act in accordance with the situation. Even if Xiao Changyi were displeased, he would blame Su Chengyu again, and it wouldn’t involve him at all.

Having devised such a satisfying plan, the Emperor of Xiyun feigned a regretful expression as he spoke, ”That’s truly a pity.”

An Jing, unaware of the Emperor of Xiyun’s ulterior motives, thought he genuinely felt sorry, so she smiled and consoled him, ”There’s nothing to regret. Even if I don’t hold an official position, I can still help my adoptive father and Chengyu, and do something for Xiyun.”

The Emperor of Xiyun immediately replied, ”Jingjing, I am greatly comforted that you have such a heart.”

After a pause, the Emperor continued, ”Jingjing, if you have any ideas, feel free to act on them. Behind you stand not only Yi Er, but also Chengyu and myself. Last time, I heard that some officials in the Agricultural Institute were throwing cold water on you. Thankfully, you and Yi Er are decisive individuals; otherwise, you would have been discouraged by their negativity and might not have undertaken this grafting project.”

An Jing smiled and said, ”My adoptive father is well-informed. Despite the distance from the Capital, you could still hear about it.”

The Emperor of Xiyun was not annoyed and even laughed, ”You, Yi Er, and my four grandchildren are all dear to me. Naturally, I would send secret agents here to keep an eye on things. Firstly, to occasionally learn how you are all doing, and secondly, to protect you should any unforeseen events occur.”

As the ruler of a nation, the Emperor of Xiyun had many spies and secret agents spread across the entire Xiyun Kingdom.

And the fact that the Emperor of Xiyun had secret agents in Qilin County was not surprising at all.

However, the fact that the Emperor of Xiyun bothered to explain this showed that he truly treated Xiao Changyi and An Jing very differently from others.

Feeling flattered by this, An Jing responded to the Emperor’s previous statement, ”Then, in the future, if I have any ideas, I will freely pursue them. After all, with my adoptive father and Chengyu backing me, I have nothing to fear.”

The Emperor of Xiyun glanced at Xiao Changyi, who was expressionless, and kindly reminded her, ”You have forgotten someone. He will be unhappy if you leave him out.”

Xiao Changyi: ”...”

An Jing was initially taken aback, then quickly caught on and smiled again, ”I haven’t forgotten my husband. I’ve always known he would support me; I’m just so used to it that I feel he understands even if I don’t say it. Right, my husband?”

As she spoke, An Jing turned around and asked Xiao Changyi with a smile.

Xiao Changyi immediately nodded and softly replied, ”Mm.”

The Emperor of Xiyun: ”...”

...

After spending six days with An Jing and Xiao Changyi, it was finally time for the Emperor of Xiyun to leave.

He was about to return to the Capital and truly found it difficult to part, as if this was his last meeting with Xiao Changyi and the others.

”Yi Er, Jingjing, I must go,” said the Emperor of Xiyun, his face showing the sorrow of departure and reluctance to leave.

An Jing felt a bit down as well, but still smiled and said, ”Adoptive father, have a safe journey.”

Xiao Changyi, however, remained expressionless, silent.

Carrying Su Yi Jing, the little one, in his arms, the Emperor first looked down at Su Yi Jing, then turned to Xiao Changyi, ”In the future, when you write back to me, include a few more words.”

Xiao Changyi still kept an expressionless face and remained silent.

The Emperor of Xiyun sighed softly, handed Su Yi Jing back to An Jing, but then hurriedly took him back into his arms again, ”I think I’ll hold him a little longer.”

An Jing: ”...” You’ve been holding him for six days, haven’t you had enough?
