C259 I've been taken advantage of again

She paused for a moment and looked at them: "Do you believe me?"

The couple looked at each other without hesitation and said, "Miss has been working hard every day to treat my injuries. How could Chen Xuan not trust you?"

Liu Ruo Qing pursed her lips in satisfaction, "That's great, since you two believe me, then listen to me. After Chen Gongzi's injuries have stabilized, we will look for him.

As expected, when they heard about the King Jing from Liu Ruo Qing, their faces were filled with hesitation.

However, after hesitating for a bit, he heard Chen Xuan say, "My wife, since we trust the lady, we also trust the person she wants us to trust."

As he said that, his gaze turned to Liu Ruo Qing, and he said: "Don't worry miss, once I've recovered from my injuries, I'll go see Prince Jing."

"Chen Gongzi is not in a hurry. In order to ensure the safety of the two of you, I will escort you into the city."

Hearing that, the husband and wife did not hesitate, it could be seen that they had unconditionally trusted Liu Ruo Qing, "Alright, as long as you can avenge our Chen family, the husband and wife will follow young miss's arrangements."

"Yes."

At least he had gotten the promise of this couple, so Liu Ruo Qing was sure that her half a month of hard work had not been in vain.

When they left the broken house, Yan Yuan was still standing at the same spot, waiting for her, as he always did.

Sometimes, she wouldn't even need to look to know where Yan Yuan was sitting. This sort of tacit understanding that didn't need to be spoken out loud seemed to occur unknowingly.

After returning to the inn, Liu Ruo Qing sat down on a chair near the window. She crossed her legs and said: "Give me a cup of water, I'll tell you a good news."

Yan Yuan looked at her "Emperor of the Heavens" commanding him, and chuckled.

She was the only one in the world who had the guts to order him around.

Even so, Yan Yuan still poured her a cup of water and passed it over: "The Chen family couple promised to come and see me?"

Liu Ruo Qing had just received the water and had not drunk it yet, but when she heard Yan Yuan's question, she looked up and rolled his eyes at him, "I haven't even said anything yet.

Yan Yuan smiled and sat beside her. He extended his long arm and habitually grabbed her shoulders and said: "Since you're so amazing, I'll give you a reward."

"What reward?"

Liu Ruo Qing curiously moved closer. Seeing the evil grin in Yan Yuan's eyes, she immediately understood.

Before Yan Yuan could speak, he said: "No need, I never need a reward for doing good deeds."

After he finished speaking, he quickly got up and escaped from Yan Yuan's hands. Unfortunately, he was still a step too slow.

Before she could escape, her body was pulled back at the waist, and she directly bumped into Yan Yuan.

"How can you not need a reward for doing good deeds? This King can repay you with a promise."

As soon as he finished speaking, he bent down and sealed Liu Ruo Qing's lips.

Your sister has been taken advantage of again …

In the middle of the night, a shadow flashed past the door.

Yan Yuan opened his eyes in alarm, his gaze sweeping the person sleeping beside him, then, he quickly got up and went out of the room to chase them.

In the rear courtyard of the inn, a black-clothed person knelt before him. "This lowly general pays his respects to Your Highness."

"Qi Feng?"

The person in front of him, following that, the person in front of him removed his mask cloth s, revealing a resolute face.

Yan Yuan's heart suddenly tensed up, and his gaze subconsciously swept towards the room upstairs.

Withdrawing his gaze, he lowered his voice, looked at Qi Feng, and asked: "How's the investigation?"

Under his sleeves, his fists were unconsciously tightening.

"Reporting to Your Highness, this subordinate has secretly investigated the xieqing Imperial Palace for close to a month, and the results of the investigation are not too different from the one we discovered last time."

Yan Yuan's fist relaxed slightly, and then he heard Qi Feng continue: "However, this subordinate unintentionally found out that the servants served at Princess Tian Xin's Phoenix Feather Palace, and died suddenly half a month after Princess Tian Xin's marriage. They said that there was an epidemic disease on their bodies, and thus infected everyone in Phoenix Feather Palace."

"Is there such a thing?"

"That's the truth. Other than this, there's nothing else strange about it."

The news that Qi Feng had brought caused him to sink into deep thought.

All the servants in Phoenix Feather Palace died suddenly from an epidemic disease within half a month, and it was half a month after Liu Tian Xin was married, was there such a coincidence?

However, he had Qi Feng investigate deeper into the xieqing twice and this was the result of the investigation.

Yan Yuan quickly rejected this idea. If it was said that he was overthinking things the first time, then after all that had happened, as well as that girl's performance, he probably did not think too much about it.

It could even be that the sudden deaths of the Phoenix Feather Palace's servants were related to this matter.

Also, who sent those assassins to kill Liu Tian Xin before, even now, they still did not have a clue.

Although they all targeted Qin Xuan, he did not believe this.

After thinking about it for a while, he still could not think of this point, and could only allow Qi Feng to leave first.

"Go down. Don't forget that I can't let the wangfei know that I want you to go to xieqing."

"Yes, Your Highness, this lowly general will take his leave."

After Qi Feng left, Yan Yuan returned to his room, sat for a while, receded the frost over his body, and laid down beside Liu Ruo Qing, but because of it, he was no longer sleepy.

After suppressing this matter in his heart for the moment, he looked at Liu Ruo Qing, his eyes filled with pity. "No matter who you are, no matter how great the crime you committed, this king will definitely give it my all to protect you."

He had made such promises to her several times, whether she heard them or not, and he had never changed his resolve.

If that day ever came, he would not break his vow today and protect her.

Chen Xuan's injuries were getting better and better.

Three days later, Liu Ruo Qing checked his pulse, and then said: "Chen Gongzi's injuries are more or less healed, it's just that these scars won't be healed that easily."

"For Chen Xuan to retrieve her life today is already the Lady's great kindness. How can she only regain her original appearance?"

Compared to the first time he met Chen Xuan, who was on her last breath, his spirit was clearly much better.

"Then, when are the two of you planning to go see the King Jing?"

"As you wish, young lady."

"How about this, the two of you rest for two more days. I will come back in two days."

"Alright, everything will be decided by the lady."

Two days later –

"I'll go and fetch Chen Xuan and the others tonight. We'll call the waiter at once and discuss what to do after everyone has arrived."

"Alright."

Yan Yuan nodded and looked at Liu Ruo Qing with eyes full of scorching gentleness.
