The Emperor maintained a nonchalant appearance on the surface, as he truly could not let Nangong Ye notice that he now coveted another man's wife.
Meanwhile, Nangong Ye looked at the Emperor with an equally calm face, "Your Majesty, my wife has gone missing."
"Gone missing?" The Emperor's hand gripping the Dragon Throne suddenly shuddered, nearly driving him to distraction.
"She disappeared while searching for me, falling off a cliff. I've searched for a month but have not found her. That's why I've requested to be stationed at Shangzhi. I believe she will return one day."
The Emperor clenched the armrest tightly. Ever since Nan Feng had left, it was as though he had lost something. Each time he thought of Nan Feng, a dull pain throbbed in his heart. Now, hearing that Nan Feng's fate was uncertain, he felt as if he had been punched hard, his head instantly buzzing.
