He would have taken that child away and took care of her.
However, he was not there, and when he came back, he heard that the Dongfang family had been exterminated.
Dongfang Yu was taken away by the Ninth Emperor.
Now that he thought about it, it still hurt a little.
The Ninth Emperor looked up at Sima Yan, and asked, “So, what do you want from me?”
Sima Yan looked at the Ninth Emperor, and he hesitated for a moment. “Maiden Mu, can we talk for a moment?”
The Ninth Emperor nodded indifferently. “Alright, but I am hungry, so you have to treat me.”
Sima Yan’s mouth twitched, but he extended his hand, respectfully. “Maiden Mu, please.”
The Ninth Emperor followed Sima Yan.
After entering the restaurant, Sima Yan looked around carefully and saw that no one was secretly following. He then slowly closed the door.
The Ninth Emperor was a little puzzled and looked at him blankly.
Sima Yan laughed and sat in front of the Ninth Emperor. He smiled and asked, “Maiden Mu, may I ask you a question.”
Initially, he had wanted to investigate it secretly, but he knew that this girl hated the kind of people who beat around the bush, so he thought it was better to ask her directly.
“Yes?” The Ninth Emperor responded expressionlessly.
“I heard that Dongfang Yu was taken away by the Ninth Emperor, and now she’s your servant… So I’m curious… Are you the Ninth Emperor?”
Sima Yan looked sincere, staring at the Ninth Emperor.
Little Nine and the Ninth Emperor’s name both had ‘Nine’. Was this really a coincidence?
Sima Yan could not believe it!
The Ninth Emperor picked up the teacup and took a sip. “If you already know, why do you still ask?”
She did not directly admit it with these words, but it was the same as admitting it.
Sima Yan inhaled sharply. He was shocked, and the cup in his hand almost fell to the floor.
It seemed that what he and the emperor had guessed was indeed correct. Little Nine was the Ninth Emperor!
Sima Yan was not too willing for Little Nine to be the Ninth Emperor because of what Princess Qingluo had done. Moreover, Mu Yi was involved in this mess.
They wanted to strengthen their relationship with the Ninth Emperor, but now… It might not be easy.
He understood that no one in this world would dare to impersonate the Ninth Emperor and since she had said yes, Dongfang Yu was the best proof.
“Ninth Emperor…”
Sima Yan stood up and said apologetically, “I am sorry about Princess Qingluo and the emperor’s son-in-law. They clearly do not know that you are the Ninth Emperor, that’s why…”
She brought the teacup to her lips and took another sip; she remained calm. “I have nothing to do with them.”
Sima Yan was stunned. ‘It seems like the Ninth Emperor can’t forgive the emperor’s son-in-law.’
“But…” The Ninth Emperor paused. “I do not hold any grudge against them either.”
Once she said that, Sima Yan was quietly relieved.
As long as she did not hold a grudge, Feng Yun Kingdom would still have a chance.
“But do not let those people come to bother me again.” The Ninth Emperor rubbed her temples helplessly. “I went out today and met Mu Yi again, which annoyed me a lot.”
Sima Yan froze for a moment and asked weakly, “Mu Yi came? What for?”
