How many women wanted to marry him, or even climb onto his bed? And Crown Princess Jing, whom he officially married, actually would rather copy the Prison Officer Rules a hundred times than sleep with him?
Thinking of this, Yan Yuan's originally frustrated heart grew even more disappointed.
In the next few days, Liu Ruo Qing did not step out of the East District, and every meal was carried by Xiao Yue.
In these few days, Yan Yuan was busy all the way until midnight, and would be living in the palace when it was too late.
It was already the second half of the night since he rarely returned today.
Initially, he wanted to go to the other side of the courtyard to sleep, but he suddenly thought of Liu Ruo Qing in the east courtyard.
It had been three days since he'd seen her.
When she thought about it, she realized that he still missed her.
Yan Yuan raised his eyebrows, and did not deny this point.
He changed his direction and started walking towards the East District. When he thought of how he would occasionally act arrogantly in front of others while he would act like a dog trying to please it, he actually felt a bit more anticipation.
Even his footsteps unconsciously quickened.
When it was past midnight, the bedroom on the second floor was still lit, but very quiet.
Yan Yuan went upstairs, and when he pushed the door open, Xiao Yue who was standing beside him grinding the door was shocked.
The drowsiness that had assaulted his brain was also swept away at this moment.
Putting down the ink in his hand, he quickly ran towards Yan Yuan, "This servant greets you!"
Just as Xiao Yue was about to bow, she was stopped.
's gaze fell upon Liu Ruo Qing who was lying on the table sleeping soundly, and had not noticed it at all.
Xiao Yue's scalp immediately went numb, and she looked at Liu Ruo Qing with a vexed expression.
He couldn't wait to go over and tell her that the prince was here.
"You can leave first."
Yan Yuan slowly spoke out, but his gaze did not retract from Liu Ruo Qing's face.
Xiao Yue paused for a moment, then turned to Yan Yuan and said, "Yes, your servant will take his leave."
After looking at Liu Ruo Qing with worry for a while, Xiao Yue walked towards the door.
The moment she stepped out, her gaze turned to look at Yan Yuan, and a strange light flashed past her eyes.
After leaving the East District, she followed the small road at the back of the East District and arrived behind the reeds on the right side of the East District.
"Xiao Yue."
A deep voice sounded out from behind Xiao Yue.
"General Chu."
Xiao Yue looked around, and then spoke to the man in front of him: "I want to change my plan of barging into the palace."
"What's wrong?"
It turns out that two months later is the Easternum's Triennial Winter Sacrifice Ceremony. At that time, the Kaiser, Empress Dowager, and a hundred officials will all go to the Royal Tomb to carry out the Ancestral Rites, and adding the frequent movements of the Shen Ji Hall in the past few years, I estimate that on the day of the Ancestral Sacrifice, most of the Imperial Guards, and the guards of the elite barracks will all go over to protect the Kaiser. If we were to go to the Imperial Palace at that time, it would be even easier to succeed compared to the Hundred Blossom Banquet. "
Hearing Xiao Yue's words, the man called General Chu pondered for two seconds, then said: "That's right, with such a high chance of victory, I have sufficient time to prepare."
"Yes, there's still two months. We can plan things out for a long time. We'll arrange it when the time comes."
"Yes."
General Chu nodded his head vigorously.
Xiao Yue raised her eyes, looked towards the second floor of the east yard, and said: "Yan Yuan is already back, I cannot tell you too much, if he discovers us, we are done for."
"Okay, hurry up and go back, don't let Yan Yuan find out."
A bit of nervousness also entered General Chu's eyes. After hesitating for a while, he opened his mouth and said with worry:
"We still do not know the identity of that fake Princess Tian Xin. Before we find out her background, you need to be careful, don't let her find out your identity."
"I know."
Xiao Yue pursed her lips, as her emotions were unclear.
She realised that Yan Yuan was now more focused on the Lady Liu, and would even come to the East District from time to time.
This added some danger to her movements.
Yan Yuan walked over to Liu Ruo Qing's side and laid a lot of paper that she had copied out on the table. Some of the paper Mo Zi had not dried yet.
He went forward and helped her to put away the papers one by one. It was somewhat unexpected for him to see the neat handwriting on each piece of paper.
From the very beginning, he had asked her to copy the Prison Officer's Rules a hundred times within three days, which was a number that she had casually said. He had never thought that this would be a achievable mission, much less that she would actually copy it.
Based on his understanding of this woman in the past, she would definitely use all sorts of rascally methods to avoid this kind of punishment. But this time, she actually didn't beg for mercy?
Yan Yuan realized that he was getting more and more confused by this woman.
His eyes looked thoughtfully at the woman sleeping soundly on the table. Suddenly, his head, which had been buried between his arms, was lifted. His eyes were open, and he bumped head on against her.
Right at that moment, Yan Yuan felt as if he had been caught peeking at someone, and his eyes were a little empty.
Just as he was thinking about how to explain his actions, he saw that Liu Ruo Qing's eyes were unfocused. Even though her eyes were open, she had not woken up.
He then heard her close her eyes and mutter, "Quick, quick, it's too late."
The next second, the brush fell from his hand. His head knocked against the table and he fell asleep.
The corner of Yan Yuan's mouth twitched, and at the same time, he heaved a sigh of relief.
In the next second, he realized his guilty behavior from before and frowned.
What did he feel guilty about?
Wasn't it just looking at her consort? What was this?
He kept telling himself in his heart that this really was nothing.
However, when he thought about how that woman had woken up, he started to feel weak in his heart.
Yan Yuan felt that he was a little confused.
His gaze turned towards Liu Ruo Qing, his gaze unwittingly softening a little.
After helping her organize the remaining papers, he put them aside and carefully picked her up from the table and walked towards the bed.
After covering Liu Ruo Qing with the blanket, Yan Yuan suddenly realized that his unusual behavior was actually more and more convenient.
He didn't even notice that there was anything wrong with his actions.
Thinking of this, he chuckled twice, but didn't explain his actions in detail.
Soon after, He Yi laid down beside Liu Ruo Qing, but she did not use any force. Just the sound of her soft breathing could be heard by his ear, and he actually felt a sense of unease in his heart.
"Damn woman."
Lying beside Liu Ruo Qing, he was actually not sleepy at all. In the end, she could only helplessly get up, and after a low curse, he opened the door and walked out.
The next day.
As usual, Yan Yuan turned back from head to toe, as if he was missing something in his heart.
