112 The Monarchs Anger (1/2)

When Ning Fu heard the words 'beloved official', he abruptly realised that the other person had regained their senses and was angry at him for his seemingly innocent questions.

For a moment, he cursed his bad luck which always seemed to strike at the most inopportune of the moments but since he didn't have any excuses for his behaviour and both of them knew the truth, he didn't think that it would be a good reflection of his character if he blatantly denied any accusations that would be thrown around right about now.

So, he kept his head down, closed his eyes briefly and didn't dare to utter a single word.

Su Li snorted at the seemingly afraid visage the other person put up and questioned.

”Why? Just now the beloved official was quite free with his words. What happened now? The cat got your tongue?”

When the only response to her words was complete and utter silence, she turned her face away so as to be not disgusted by this person who had no compunction meddling into other people's affairs.

With a flick of her sleeves, she tried to stand up but since she had been sitting for so long, her legs had gone numb and she stumbled.

Ning Fu scrambled as he tried to stop the monarch from falling and in his haste, he held the monarch in his embrace from behind.

However, the other person shrugged his help and started walking away while he stared at the monarch's back forlornly.

However, he couldn't help but raise his lips in a semblance of a smile when the emperor walked a few steps ahead and then stopped abruptly while looking around him curiously.

Ning Fu could guess the reason.

The monarch had most probably not visited this place before and since he didn't have anyone to point the way; the other person must be perplexed as to what direction to take to go back to the Imperial Palace.

Still, since he wasn't out of the hot water, he didn't dare make the monarch stand there and hastily walked to catch up to the person and softly voiced his opinion.

”Your Majesty, the Imperial Palace is in this direction.”

Su Li knew she was confused and in a fix, so she didn't make things difficult for Ning Fu even though she felt her blood boiling at his play-acting and hence she had no choice but to follow him back to her palace.

The entire journey back was spent in silence.

When Ning Fu peeked at the monarch he could still feel the remnants of his anger so he wisely kept his words to himself.

Once they reached the Imperial Palace, the Head Commander rushed towards them.

”Your Majesty, you are finally back. This lowly one was getting worried sick.”

The Head Commander didn't know which of his words had triggered the monarch because the emperor turned towards him and sarcastically drawled.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.
