Chapter 425: Secret Path

The emperor stopped putting away the jade pendant and asked Ning Yue, "What is your opinion?"

The thoughts in Ning Yue's mind raced. After thinking about it again and again, she said, "Your Majesty, leave the jade pendant to us. I keep feeling that it's very unsafe for you to hold this jade pendant."

"Why? Are you worried that I'll destroy the jade pendant?" The emperor said with a smile.

Ning Yue shook her head. "No, I'm worried about your safety."

The emperor frowned. He suddenly recalled the scene of him seeing this jade pendant at the Phoenix when he was still the Crown Prince.

His breathing paused. He asked Ning Yue, "Can you really protect this jade pendant well?"

Ning Yue nodded solemnly. "I swear on my life!"

The emperor took a deep breath and handed the jade pendant to Ning Yue. "I'll leave the jade to you. You have to investigate everything else."
