"Tian Xin, don't take Ol 'Nine's words to heart. It was because he was jealous that he spoke nonsense."

He comforted Liu Ruo Qing as he looked at her unsightly expression.

Liu Ruo Qing did not listen to what Yan Jue said. The wound was torn and painful.

She looked at Yan Jue, and with an apologetic expression, pulled the corner of her pale lips and said: "Eighth brother, I'm sorry for what I did just now, I implicated you."

"What nonsense are you talking about? It was eighth brother who implicated you."

Yan Jue sighed in his heart. If it wasn't for Ol 'Nine being jealous of him, he wouldn't have spoken in such a serious manner.

Liu Ruo Qing didn't understand the meaning behind his words, but she didn't have the heart to ask about it.

Yan Yuan's warning came crashing down on her heart.

If Tenth Princess was truly dead, not to mention whether he would actually send troops to raze the xieqing Palace to the ground, the so-called princess would definitely lose her life.

"Eighth brother, I want to go back first. Help me apologize to royal sister-in-law, and ruin her mood today."

She covered her throbbing wound and said to Yan Jue.

Seeing that she was not in a good mood, Yan Jue did not force her, and nodded, saying: "royal sister-in-law will not blame you. As for Ol 'Nine, the words he said earlier were on top of his anger, he is not an indiscriminate person. You have been a husband and wife for so long, he definitely understands you."

Liu Ruo Qing nodded her head, and did not reject Yan Jue's good intentions, "I understand, Eighth brother, I will be leaving first."

She began to walk in the direction of the outside of the palace. The moment she turned around, her eyes drooped, and she felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart.

It was as if someone had tightly gripped his heart, and when he thought of Yan Yuan's expression and the harsh words he had said before, his heart would be in extreme pain, as if it would suffocate him.

Blood was seeping out of the wound bit by bit, staining her white fingers red.

His eyes were also extremely sore, as though they would start crying at any moment.

Actually, she didn't know what had happened to her.

Usually, he would be scolded at by Yan Yuan many times, but he had never felt so sad, depressed, wronged and wanted to cry like this.

When Yan Yuan returned to Zi Yu Palace, the fire in his heart still had not calmed down.

The imperial physician had just pulled out a needle for Yan Chang. Upon seeing him return, he immediately knelt, "Your Highness."

"How is the princess?"

"Right now, there isn't any danger to your life. As long as you take a short rest, the princess will wake up."

The imperial physician thought for a moment, then looked at Yan Yuan. After hesitating for a while, he said: "It's just that this lowly one feels that it's a little strange."

"What is it?"

The last time when the prince gave Princess Consort Wang's blood to detoxify the poison, it did not have any effect, and the poison in his body was not detoxified in the slightest. But after that, the princess became much more energetic and was able to get off the bed to walk around.

Yan Yuan's eyes instantly lit up, "In that case, the poison in the princess' body has been somewhat cured."

The imperial physician shook his head. "To reply Your Royal Highness, that's not the case. The poison within the princess's body hasn't been relieved in the slightest. This is what this lowly servant has never been able to figure out."

With this reminder from the imperial physician, Yan Yuan finally remembered that ever since he brought Liu Tian Xin to the princess palace to give Chang'er some of her blood, there had not been a single serious illness in the past two months.

Could it be that Liu Tian Xin's blood, although unable to detoxify the poison, could be used to extend her life?

Such a thought flashed through Yan Yuan's mind.

"Understood, you may leave."

Yan Yuan raised his hand, signalling the imperial physician to retreat. The moment he retracted his hand, he discovered that his palm was covered in blood.

Instantly, his heart clenched as if something had fiercely pierced into him.

Thinking back to when he grabbed Liu Ruo Qing's seat at the Lixiang Pavilion, which happened to be where she was injured.

At the time, her face had been very ugly, but he had been so angry that he hadn't realized it.

There was blood on his palm now, and her wound must have split open.

Yan Yuan's heart spasmed violently. He did not even bother to wash his hands as he immediately left the Amethyst Jade Temple after instructing the servants to take care of Yan Chang.

After exiting the palace, he headed straight for the Prince's Mansion, feeling extremely anxious.

The butler did not know of what had happened in the palace, and upon seeing Yan Yuan return in such a hurry, his eyes were filled with surprise.

"Your Highness."

"Is Liu Tian Xin back yet?"

"Princess?"

The steward was taken aback. "The wangfei hasn't returned since she left the estate in the morning."

The butler noticed that Yan Yuan's expression was strange, he thought that something must have happened, and spoke softly:

"My prince, the palace is hosting the empress dowager's Hundred Blossom Banquet right now. Shouldn't the wangfei be in the palace right now?"

Being reminded by the butler, Yan Yuan was startled.

Only now did he remember that when he left the Lixiang Pavilion, that woman was with him.

He was definitely still in the palace and had actually run all the way to the prince's mansion in a hurry.

How ridiculous!

He was as nervous as the eighth imperial brother. Was there even a need for him to meddle in other people's business?

He harrumphed angrily and stormed off.

The infirmary.

"Miss, why is it you again? Look at you, I've told you before, don't be so rude and always go out and fight. It's only been a short time and you're injured again."

As the doctor bandaged Liu Ruo Qing's wound, he chided him.

Liu Ruo Qing looked at the doctor and smiled faintly with the corners of her mouth raised.

It was the long-winded doctor from before.

"I understand. Thank you uncle, I will listen to you from now on and never fight again."

She joked with the doctor, but found that she could not smile at all. Even after being out of the palace for so long, she was still extremely upset.

When she left the hospital, she went to the tailor shop to buy some clothes to make herself feel better.

However, it was useless after all.

Walking to the bustling Jin Du street, there were all sorts of new things everywhere, but Liu Ruo Qing was not excited, walking from the street to the end, and from the end of the street to the street.

Unknowingly, she had left the city. Compared to the bustle and bustle within the city, the outside of the city seemed a little more deserted.

Especially when it was close to dinner time, the chimneys of every household were rising in spirals of white smoke, and the fragrance of food was overflowing.

Without the noise coming from the city, Liu Ruo Qing's heart, too, became a lot calmer.

She sat by the lake and stared blankly at the calm surface of the lake.

On the surface of the lake, there were two mandarin ducks playing in the water. Even though it was a cold winter day, they still seemed to be having a good time.

It ran after him, it made him laugh, no one wanted to leave him.

The whiteness on top of his head caused envy to rise in the depths of Liu Ruo Qing's eyes.

"No wonder people like to compare lovers to lovebirds. Who wouldn't want to end up like them?"

She rested her head on her hands and looked at the two white-haired mandarin ducks on the lake, whispering to herself.
