C204 She doesn't need it

Recalling the look in Yan Yuan's eyes at that time, Liu Ruo Qing's heart ached again.

In this room, Yan Yuan had kissed her, hugged her, taken care of her …

She sat here and thought back to all that she had experienced with Yan Yuan. Although she wasn't really all that happy, it still made her feel that it was perfect.

If not for the fact that Yan Chang's appearance today had reminded her of this fact, perhaps, she would still continue to sink into the abyss bit by bit under Yan Yuan's connivance.

From the moment she had married into the King Jing Palace, she had been scheming to find a suitable opportunity to leave, but she had never thought that it would be so uncomfortable.

He felt suffocated, as if he could suffocate at any moment.

She unconsciously lifted her hand. The pain of her wound tearing caused her to sink back into her thoughts.

It was only then that he remembered that he didn't even feel like bandaging up when he was by the river.

She raised her eyebrows and went to the cabinet. She took out the medicine and the gauze she had prepared.

"Xiao Yue."

She called out, and very quickly, Xiao Yue came over from the neighboring room.

"Princess, what's wrong?"

Seeing the wound on Liu Ruo Qing's arm, Xiao Yue cried out.

How come he was still fine when he went out in the morning and got injured the moment he returned?

"It's fine. When I left the palace, I met an assassin."

She sniffed but didn't explain much to Xiao Yue.

"Help me apply the medicine."

She took off her clothes, gritted her teeth, and sat down at the table.

"Alright, Princess. This servant will immediately apply the medicine for you. Please bear with it."

Xiao Yue helped Liu Ruo Qing remove the gauze that had already been permeated with blood. It was wet and full of blood.

She held the powder and poured it on Liu Ruo Qing's wound. The piercing pain made her grind her teeth and groan in pain.

"Princess, please bear with it. This servant will be more gentle."

"Yes."

Seeing Xiao Yue bandaging her wound, she could not help but think of Yan Yuan once again.

He had personally bandaged her wounds quite a few times. Each time, his actions were so gentle that it was as if a gentle spring breeze blew past, causing her to be unable to feel even the slightest bit of pain.

Thinking of this, her eyes turned sour, and she almost cried from the discomfort.

Xiao Yue poured the medicine, and when she raised her head to look at her, he discovered that her eyes were filled with tears that were constantly dripping down.

Xiao Yue panicked, and quickly put down the bottle, "Princess, what happened to you? "Is it really painful? I'm sorry, Princess. Please be a bit more gentle. Your wound is very deep, can you just bear with it any longer?"

Liu Ruo Qing shook her head and remained silent. She too, did not know why she was crying so fiercely and uncomfortably, as if the grievances she had suffered today was growing more and more intense at this moment.

"It's fine, continue."

She reached out her hand to wipe away her tears, then spoke in a choked voice, cursing herself in her heart.

However, her tears couldn't help but fall. In the end, she couldn't be bothered to wipe them away.

"Princess, it's wrapped well. Please be careful and don't get hurt again."

"Mm, got it. You can go rest."

"Yes."

Xiao Yue cleaned up the bandages on the table and carried the water basin out.

Not long after Liu Ruo Qing returned, Yan Yuan also returned to the Duke Palace. He was in a very bad mood and his entire person seemed to be depressed.

He did not return to the East Garden and instead walked directly towards the side hall. However, when he was walking past the East Garden, he coincidentally saw Xiao Yue coming out of the East Garden with a basin of blood.

When Xiao Yue saw Yan Yuan, she panicked and quickly saluted, "This servant greets Your Highness."

"Yes."

He answered indifferently. Just as he was about to leave, he saw red blood in the basin. It had become bright red under the moonlight.

He panicked. Pointing to the basin of water, he asked, "What's going on?"

He thought back to when he was in the palace today, and how her arm had been split open …

He thought that she would definitely find the infirmary after leaving the palace for an entire afternoon. How could she …

"The princess said that today, when she was returning from the palace, she met an assassin. His arm was injured …"

Xiao Yue pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, and carefully replied.

"When we leave the palace …"

Her injury had been slashed by the People from the Divine Artefact Hall in the morning. At that time, she still hadn't entered the palace, so when she mentioned the palace, could it be …

When she left the palace, did she encounter an assassin?

Recalling the two assassination attempts he had made on her, his heart trembled violently.

He quickly avoided Xiao Yue and stepped into the East District, his heart tight in his throat.

At the same time, he was both angry and helpless at that woman who did not know what was good for herself. Why was he unable to let her go?!

When he reached the door, he saw that there was still a light on inside the room. The reflection of his slim figure reflected on the door made him look exceptionally lonely and helpless.

Yan Yuan frowned, but just as he was about to push through, Liu Ruo Qing's low voice came out.

"Xiao Yue, you don't have to wait on me, go back to your room and rest. I'm going to sleep."

Yan Yuan's hand that was pushing the door stopped, suspended in midair for a long time before retracting.

In the end, he did not go in. He put away the sadness in his eyes and walked down the stairs.

Liu Ruo Qing went back to her bedside and laid down. Looking at the closed door, her eyes grew sore once again.

She had heard the hurried footsteps outside the door just now, and in that moment, she had foolishly thought it would be Yan Yuan.

At that moment, the light that shone from her eyes made even herself feel funny.

After what happened tonight, how could he possibly come to her room?

How could a dignified King Jing not even have that little bit of pride?

She naturally thought that Xiao Yue had packed everything up and returned to the Moon Slaughter Devil Nest because he was worried about her.

"Sigh …"

She lay on the bed and stared blankly at the ceiling. She was not sleepy at all.

He still felt extremely depressed.

When Yan Yuan returned to the side hall, he was still worried about that ungrateful woman from the East Branch. Even though he knew she didn't need him at all, he still couldn't let his guard down.

Remembering the resolute look in his eyes when he said that he would rather die than give her the letter, Yan Yuan's heart suddenly hurt.

He took off his outer robes and discovered that the upper part of his sleeves were covered in blood. At this moment, the blood had yet to dry completely.

He must have gotten it from her wound when he was holding her by the river.

Yan Yuan's heart tightened even more as he walked out uncontrollably. When he reached the door and was about to open it, he stopped.

"Forget it, why bother? She doesn't need This King. "

His hoarse voice was filled with disappointment, burying the pain and nervousness in his eyes.

The next day, early in the morning, the Prefecture Overseer Wei Jin came to the King Jing Palace early.

"Please come over here, Sir Wei. This old servant will go and invite the prince over."

"Thank you, Butler."

Wei Jin sat down anxiously in the main hall, while the butler went to the east yard to call Yan Yuan.

Before he even reached the Eastern Courtyard's gate, he saw Yan Yuan walking out from the side hall, and he was slightly surprised by the butler's gaze. Seeing Yan Yuan's dark expression, he didn't dare to ask any further.
