C237 Weird waiter

Liu Ruo Qing looked at his calm eyes in shock, but her words pierced right into her heart.

This was something she wished for together, but when Yan Yuan said it himself, she was in so much pain that she couldn't control himself.

After a long while, she asked in a low voice, "No …" You don't have to wait until Yan Chang's illness recovers before you let me go? "

Yan Yuan laughed bitterly and shook his head, "There's no need."

He only wanted her to stay by his side for a few more days as an excuse, but whether it was one more day or ten days, he still had to leave.

Forcing her to stay by his side and seeing her crying for another man, he didn't know how long he could last.

Liu Ruo Qing lowered his eyes and was silent for a long while, before raising his eyes to look at him, and smiled slightly, "Then, I'll have to thank Your Highness very much."

She had been smiling the entire time, but she discovered that her smile was a bit bitter. Even the strength at the corners of her lips seemed to be slowly being sucked away.

"Young master, young lady, your dishes are ready. Can I come in?"

The voice of the waiter broke the depressing atmosphere between the two.

"Come in."

The waiter brought the dishes in and placed them on the table. "Please enjoy."

Just as he was about to leave, he heard Liu Ruo Qing calling out to him, "Wait, second brother, I still have something to ask you."

"Miss, please ask."

"The other day, you said that in order to not spread the news, Yan Qi set fire to the Chen residence and came down to silence. Since that's the case, then how did this matter spread among the commoners?"

Just as Liu Ruo Qing asked this question, the waiter's expression changed drastically, and there was even a hint of panic in his eyes.

"This... "This …"

The waiter's eyes were a little unfocused. He placed his hands by his side and twisted his clothes. It was obvious that he was feeling guilty and panicked.

This point, both Liu Ruo Qing and Yan Yuan noticed it, but their expressions did not change as they waited for the waiter's reply.

"This... This little one is not sure either. Ever since the incident with the ghost for the first time at the Bright Inn at the end of the street, this matter has been known.

With that, the waiter stared at the two of them anxiously, afraid that they would not believe him.

Especially since these two people were currently staring at him without saying a word, causing him to feel more and more panicked.

After a long while, Yan Yuan retracted his gaze, "So it's like that, you should leave first."

"Alright, please enjoy."

The waiter was obviously relieved. He turned around and walked out of the room.

"This second brother doesn't look right."

Liu Ruo Qing looked like she was deep in thought, she came back from outside and said to Yan Yuan.

"He might know the inside story. Maybe, the matter regarding the Chen Clan's annihilation was spread out by him."

A trace of sternness flowed out of Yan Yuan's eyes as he poured himself a cup of wine. He brought it to his mouth, and then poured himself a second cup.

"Are you saying that the waiter purposely framed Yan Qi?"

Liu Ruo Qing was a little suspicious. On the other hand, when the waiter mentioned this matter, he looked indignant, as if he was the person involved.

Yan Yuan shook his head, "The waiter has never had the guts to frame Crown Prince Jing. This duke only thinks that the waiter might know the truth."

"In other words, the waiter might be a survivor of the Chen Residence. Or, what does that have to do with the Chen Residence?"

"Yes."

Yan Yuan nodded his head, "From the body of the waiter, I might be able to find the location of the inn's people who are pretending to be ghosts."

"But, there is one thing I don't really understand. If it's Yan Qi who caused the death of the people in the Chen residence, then what is the purpose of them pretending to be terrifying ghosts in every inn? Moreover, the places they went in and out of were all inns, and there didn't seem to be any place that had such a thing happening in a common household. "

After drinking one pot of wine, Liu Ruo Qing picked up the second pot of wine and was about to pour it, but she couldn't help but extend her hand to stop him.

"Did you not eat your fill when you were outside?" Drinking so much wine to fill his stomach? You haven't eaten your fill, there's still food here. "

Yan Yuan did not say anything, took her hand away, and continued pouring himself a cup of wine, and continued with the case, "I'm guessing, their intention is to attract the attention of the customers coming and going, and spread the news about the Huaxi Town, and thus attract the attention of the higher officials or court officials. If it were to spread to the Kaiser, what if there is a chance to reverse the case for them?

"That's true. He is Crown Prince Jing. Ordinary officials would not dare to do anything to him. If they were to stay in the various inns and meet some high ranking official who is concerned about this, they might try to redress the grievances of the Chen family."

Liu Ruo Qing's face lit up, seeing that Yan Yuan was still focused on drinking, he frowned and said, "Stop drinking, what's wrong with you?"

She directly reached out to snatch the jug of wine from Yan Yuan's hands, but the jug was already empty.

She frowned as she looked at Yan Yuan's face with worry in her eyes, "Are you worrying about getting rid of Yan Qi, or is it hard to explain it to King Jing?"

Yan Yuan's eyes froze for a moment. His eyes that were stained red with alcohol looked at Liu Ruo Qing with worry in her eyes, and then, he gave a light smile.

He did not reply Liu Ruo Qing, but stood up from the table, "I'm going back to the inn, you should rest."

Liu Ruo Qing stood up as well. She wanted to call out to him, but she felt that there was no reason for her to do so.

Looking at his lonely back, Liu Ruo Qing's heart tensed up, as if he truly felt that the distance between him and Yan Yuan was getting further and further.

"Fine, since he has agreed, as long as I can find Master, he can let me go. I don't have anything to worry about."

She sat at the table, looking at the fragrant dishes in front of her, and lost her appetite.

Jing King Manor –

The Fourth Marquis' residence, King Yan Heng's mansion, was the most eye-catching seat in the Grand Dominance Manor. Its doors were hung high up, giving it a domineering and dignified appearance.

The Flower Creek County, which the Huaxi Town belonged to, was a town under the jurisdiction of the Grand Dominance Manor.

"What did you say?" Prince Jing wants Qi'er to meet him at Flower Creek County? "

When Jing King Yan Heng heard this news, he was extremely shocked.

"Yes, Your Highness, Lord Zhixian sent an official to deliver the message, Crown Prince Jing will immediately go and see him, there can be no delay at all."

The county magistrate and soldiers who had come to deliver the message answered truthfully.

Yan Heng stroked his beard, thoughtfully narrowing his eyes, "Ninth Brother, what are you doing in front of me?"

He looked at the soldier who delivered the message and said: "Do you know what matter the successor of the Prince Jing has in the past?"

"This …"

The soldier frowned, he wanted to say something, but stopped and shook his head, "This humble servant does not know, but Lord Zhixian came under the orders of the Prince Jing to pass on a message to the Crown Prince, saying that there is an important matter for him to attend to."

Yan Heng did not speak, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I understand, I'll let Your Highness follow you guys."
