Chapter 741 - Conspiracy (1) (2/2)

It seemed like Ji Ru was trying to caution her against something.

No need to worry about the Ji family?

Could it be…

Ji Fengyan narrowed her eyes. The peculiarity pointed out by Linghe, plus the message that Ji Ru wanted Ye Yuan to pass onto her—had shaken her to the core.

It appeared that the Emperor had ulterior motives in summoning her back to the capital city.

“Thank you to grandfather and tutor for your advice.” Ji Fengyan rose and bowed.

Ye Yuan said, “Fengyan, I have something here that your grandfather prepared for you. Enough gold and treasures to last you for the rest of your life. If… you are unwilling to be under such constraints, your grandfather has said that you can just take these and leave the capital city, leave the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon. Go and live the life that you want.”

The meaning behind these words were extremely clear.

The Emperor intended to harm Ji Fengyan.

Ji Fengyan felt something was rather off. Zhan Fei had revealed nothing that bode ill for her. Why would the Emperor suddenly be suspicious of her? To the extent that… the Ji family had received the news and Ji Ru was risking everything to forewarn her, as well as hinting at her to leave?

What the hell had happened?

After some thought, Ji Fengyan suddenly raised her head and looked at Ye Yuan.

“Tutor, I came back as I was summoned. It will be difficult for me to leave without seeing His Majesty first. I appreciate the kind intentions of you and grandfather. I know what to do.”

Ji Fengyan’s answer shocked Ye Yuan. He shook his head in resignation at her resolute expression.

“Alright, this is your choice. I won’t say anymore.” Ye Yuan looked at Ji Fengyan and sighed helplessly.
