Yan Chang didn't know what had happened between Yan Yuan and Yue Yang, but he felt that ever since he had returned from gathering herbs with this woman, her Ninth Brother didn't seem to be very happy anymore.
Yan Chang looked at Yan Yuan with some concern and said: "Ninth Brother, it's been a long time since you've talked to me. Can you stay here to accompany me for a while?"
Yan Yuan was startled, but after that, he nodded his head, "Alright."
"Thank you, Nine."
Yan Chang was very happy. Ever since he was young, she liked to stay by Ninth Brother's side.
Because the royal father and mother had left early, she had always treated Yan Yuan as his closest and most trusted person.
"Your Highness, the princess' condition has gradually improved. I believe that within the next few days, the princess will recover from her illness."
This was not only good for Yan Chang, but also for the imperial doctors.
"Mm, you can leave first."
"Alright, I will take my leave."
Seeing that the imperial physician had left, Liu Ruo Qing did not plan to disturb the two siblings, and said: "Then I will be leaving first."
She turned to leave, but was stopped by Yan Yuan, "Wait."
Liu Ruo Qing bewilderedly turned her head around, but Yan Yuan had already thrown him down and appeared in front of her.
He looked down at her, his eyes deep and full of love and concentration. "Don't you want me to come with you?"
Liu Ruo Qing stared blankly for a moment, then followed with a slight smile, "The prince and the princess have a chat, I have nothing to do here, so I have to bother you guys."
When she spoke, she did not dare look into Yan Yuan's eyes. These eyes were focused and emotional, and she was afraid that she would fall into them.
Yan Chang's enmity towards Liu Ruo Qing was a little weaker than before, but when he saw that Yan Yuan had abandoned her to save Liu Ruo Qing, he became even more infuriated.
"Royal brother, she's right. She can't talk here anyways, so just let her go back first."
Yan Chang rolled his eyes in annoyance, and glared at Liu Ruo Qing fiercely.
Liu Ruo Qing ignored her, since she knew Yan Chang did not like her, and it was not a matter of one or two days.
In half a month, she would be able to leave with the letter, so what was she going to do with him?
Yan Yuan didn't pay attention to Yan Chang, but his eyes held hope.
Liu Ruo Qing originally wanted to leave immediately, but this kind of gaze made it impossible for her to say the words of rejection.
"How about I go out on the streets for a walk. When you're done talking with the princess, come out and find me."
She had already come to a compromise.
In Yan Yuan's eyes, because of her words, there were a few more traces of happiness, and he did not force her to stay there any longer, "Alright, I'll come out soon."
"Yes."
Liu Ruo Qing did not say anything further and turned to leave the Princess Palace.
Yan Chang was so angry that he couldn't bear to take back the gaze he used to look at Yan Yuan. He said furiously, "Ninth Brother, have you grown feelings for Liu Tian Xin?"
Her words caused Yan Yuan to come back to his senses. He knitted his eyebrows and turned to look at Yan Chang.
"Chang'er, this is Nine's last warning for you. Liu Tian Xin is your sister-in-law, I don't want to hear any rude words from your mouth."
Looking at Yan Yuan's sharp eyes, her eyes turned red, and a sense of grievance welled up in her eyes.
"Ninth Brother, you have never been so fierce towards me since you were young. However, you have scolded me many times for Liu Tian Xin's sake. "Howl …"
Yan Yuan did not compromise. The sharpness in his eyes made Yan Chang's tears flow even more fiercely.
"It is precisely because you have a weak body and many ailments since you were young that I have always been at ease with you. That is precisely the reason why you have such a domineering personality."
Yan Chang was not willing to accept this. Gritting his teeth, he retorted, "But when I spoke to others like this in the past, you have never been as fierce as me!"
"Liu Tian Xin is not a stranger!"
He growled, ignoring the fear and grievance in Yan Chang's eyes, his tone did not soften.
"Because of you, I've already made her suffer once. You better take care of yourself."
"Since you're so nervous about her, doesn't that mean she wants you to divorce her? What's the use of you caring about her? "
Yan Chang roared at Yan Yuan in anger.
With just one sentence, it caused Yan Yuan to be instantly stunned into a daze. His eyes flashed with a trace of darkness and bitterness.
Only then did he speak up in a low voice, "This is between her and me, don't get involved."
After he finished speaking, he did not care about how sad Yan Chang was as he immediately turned around and left.
"Nine! "Nine!"
Even though Yan Chang was shouting so many times, Yan Yuan still did not stop and turned his head to take a look.
The more Yan Chang thought about it, the angrier he got, and he shifted all of the grievances and anger onto Liu Ruo Qing.
"It's all Liu Tian Xin's fault, she must have said bad things about me by Ninth Brother's ear."
She was so angry that she knocked on the table beside her. Her fingers made a gurgling sound, causing her to frown in pain.
"Liu Tian Xin, I will definitely let Ninth Brother see your true face!"
I'm so pissed off, I'm so pissed off.
After Liu Ruo Qing left the Princess's Palace, she really did not return to the Duke's Palace immediately.
She didn't go too far away from the princess' residence, afraid that Yan Yuan wouldn't be able to find her.
She didn't notice this subconscious thing, but she did it inadvertently.
The Jindu in winter was cold to the point where it was difficult to breathe. In an instant, their breath turned into a vast expanse of white mist.
When Yan Yuan left the Princess's Palace, he left in a hurry, as if he was afraid that Liu Ruo Qing would wait too long, or as if he was afraid that she would lose her patience and directly leave.
However, just as he left the Princess' Mansion and went outside to the street, he saw the woman that he thought was in his heart standing by the street, her hands placed on her mouth as she breathed in the hot air.
His eyes lit up as he quickly walked to stand in front of her.
Liu Ruo Qing shook her legs, wanting to warm herself up. Not long after she stood, there was another person in front of him.
She raised her eyes in astonishment. That familiar handsome face was right in front of her. Through the white mist she was exhaling, it seemed somewhat illusory and unreal.
It was only when Yan Yuan directly wrapped her hand around his palm that the warm temperature seemed to cover her entire body, warming her up.
"You're just standing here waiting for me?"
His voice was very gentle, as if it could spill water.
In fact, Yan Yuan was not a person who understood how to be gentle. His personality was like the ice on the river, cold and heavy, without any ripples.
However, at this moment, all of the gentleness and gentleness that he possessed was completely given to this woman before him.
"Why did you come out so quickly?"
When Liu Ruo Qing saw Yan Yuan appear in front of him, a hint of happiness flashed past her eyes that was hard to detect.
"Mm, I don't want you to wait too long."
Yan Yuan didn't loosen his grip on her hand and the two of them walked towards the direction of the Duke Palace.
Liu Ruo Qing's eyes stared blankly at the hand that was wrapped in Yan Yuan's palm. She thought back to that night outside the Turkic house, where he also tightly held his hand, feeling warm and relieved.
