Chapter 278: A Nasty Feeling

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

As for their silence, Ke Ruan did not show signs of anger. He knew very well that these people only took orders from Si Yuhan and did this for his good.

“Take me there, I want to see him. If you don’t take me there, I can do it myself.”

The men in black still didn’t move.

Ke Ruan continued, “Since you are protecting me, no matter where I am, you have to follow me. I don’t know if there are enemies or not in the palace. If anything happens halfway, it will be your responsibility.”

The men in black still didn’t say anything.

Ke Ruan left the imperial study. He left a few elder statesmen who had been working during two dynasties to manage everything in the imperial court, and then went on the trip to the border.

Because of the incident of Si Yuhan, there was growing unrest in Red Flame Country, but Ke Ruan had no choice. He could not calm down to deal with political affairs, so he could only gamble on it.

Whether he would win or lose, he had to stay by Si Yuhan’s side.

And this kind of feeling was unprecedentedly strong.

What’s more, this matter was caused by himself and he also had to save his parents.

The war was getting more and more intense. Even the news was hidden from Ke Nuo, she also vaguely got wind of it.

Over the past few days, Red Flame Country was turbulent, and even South Kingdom wasn’t peaceful.

The Emperor was dead and even the crown prince was also imprisoned before the Emperor’s death. Yu Xin took control of the imperial court instantly with his tough measures.

This was unexpected, so not many people approved of Yu Xin acceding to the throne.

Just like when Si Yuhan attacked Red Flame Country that whoever didn’t obey him would be killed, Yu Xin used the same method too.

Ke Nuo felt more and more uneasy. Ever since they moved to the imperial palace, she hadn’t seen Yu Xin for most of a month and she couldn’t wait anymore.

After asking someone and knowing Yu Xin was in the imperial study, she rushed there with almost indecent haste.

Because of being too anxious, she didn’t realize that she hadn’t met any guards along the way. There were even no guards outside the imperial study.

Just as she was about to walk in, a voice came from inside. It seemed like they were discussing about political affairs. She thought for a moment and she finally didn’t push the door open.

She understood that the concubines in the harem was not allowed to interfere in the political affairs.

When she heard Yu Xin’s voice, Ke Nuo secretly let out a sigh of relief. It turned out that he was really busy, so she couldn’t disturb him anymore.

Just as she was about to leave, the name of her brother came from the imperial study. Ke Nuo stopped leaving and put her ears against the door.

Yu Xin sat on the emperor’s chair and ignored the words of the man in front of him.

“What? Don’t you take a fancy to Ke Ruan? Why would you transfer your affection from him to his sister now?”

Ke Nuo’s innocent and lovely face appeared in Yu Xin’s mind.

He lowered his eyes and said in a faint voice, “Let me think for a while.”

“Ke Ruan has left the imperial palace of Red Flame Country. I don’t have much time to give you.”

Yu Xin raised his head, “What do you say? He has left the imperial palace, right?”

The man seemed to chuckle. “Knowing that Si Yuhan is in danger, how can he sit still?”

Yu Xin sneered, “It’s just about a woman. You can get her if you want.”

Ke Nuo was not stupid. She vaguely guessed something. When she wanted to hear more, there was no sound in the house.

Because she was impatient, she let out a noise, and there was instantly the sound of snapping in the imperial study.

“Who is it?”

Ke Nuo was not afraid of them. Now that she realized that they were talking about her brother, it was more necessary for her to figure it out.

She pushed the door open and walked in. “It’s me.”

Yu Xin frowned when he saw that it was Ke Nuo. He looked out of the door and eventually didn’t say anything.

When Ke Nuo saw the man in front of Yu Xin, she opened her mouth in disbelief. “It’s you!”
