C269 The four seas are all willing to go home

Yan Yuan got up from his chair, looked at Yan Heng and sighed, "Fourth brother, on that day, Yan Heng gave the Chen Family members a path of retreat. He himself wouldn't have walked onto a dead end today."

He comforted Yan Heng by patting his shoulder, "This time, the situation is very serious, Fourth Brother might need to go to the capital and explain things to the Emperor."

He did not say much to Yan Heng. At this time, he could not say any words of consolation, Yan Qi deserved to die.

Using his life to repay the Chen family tens of lives was already giving him an advantage.

Liu Ruo Qing did not follow him to the court hall. Instead, he stood in the middle of the commoners and watched from the sidelines.

When she saw the resentment and anger in Yan Heng's eyes that wanted to kill him, her heart suddenly tensed up.

When Yan Yuan came out and saw her, his originally fierce and fierce face immediately softened.

On the way back to the inn, everyone was discussing about this matter, all praising Yan Yuan for being impartial, but Liu Ruo Qing was not happy.

"Now that the Chen family's matter has been resolved, and Yan Qi has been sentenced to death, why are you so depressed?"

Yan Yuan looked to the side, and looked at the Liu Ruo Qing who had been silent the entire time, and her eyes revealed a little worry.

Liu Ruo Qing looked at him and pursed her lips in hesitation. Then, she opened her mouth and said, "Aren't you afraid that King Jing will hate you?"

When Yan Heng had looked at Yan Yuan in the imperial court just now, she would definitely be terrified when he thought about it.

Yan Yuan did not expect Liu Ruo Qing to remain silent because of this, and smiled gently at the worry that unconsciously appeared in her eyes.

"What are you afraid of? Could it be that he dares to kill me? "

He rubbed her head. "But I'm glad to see you're so worried about me."

Liu Ruo Qing glared at him snappily, "I'm not worried. After all, that's your brother, not mine.

But even though she said that, for some reason, the look in Yan Heng's eyes made her feel extremely uneasy.

Perhaps, she was overthinking it.

After returning to the inn, the two packed their luggage and prepared to head back to the capital.

While packing his luggage, Liu Ruo Qing seemed to be in a bit of an absent-minded state.

Yan Yuan could guess what she was thinking and the light in his eyes couldn't help but sink.

"Since I haven't found him, I shall return to the capital first. Maybe he has already left the Huaxi Town."

Liu Ruo Qing knew who the "he" Yan Yuan spoke of was, but she was not currently thinking about this.

Instead, she was thinking about how she could ask him for a rest after returning to the capital, since Yan Chang should have already recovered from his illness.

She found that she could not open her mouth at all.

Although Yan Yuan knew that Liu Ruo Qing had him in his heart, that Liu Qian Xun's existence had always made him feel pained.

Just because she had him in her heart did not mean that Liu Qian Xun was gone from her heart.

This feeling of eating made him very unhappy.

He even began to feel a little bit of jealousy toward that Liu Qian Xun, and accompanied her throughout her entire childhood. But in her childhood, there was no one else besides him, Yan Yuan.

"En, alright. Let's return to the capital first."

Liu Ruo Qing did not think too much into it. After searching for so long and not being able to find the old man's whereabouts, she reckoned that he had really left.

He would make the arrangements when he got back to the capital.

After leaving the tavern, Liu Ruo Qing was still worrying about Yan Qi's case, feeling inexplicably anxious.

"Oh right, about the Yan Qi case, does it matter if Zhuang Qing judges it?"

Liu Ruo Qing looked at Yan Yuan and asked.

"I know what you are worried about. Zhuang Qing's judgement was ordered by this king, even if he were to hand the trial over to the Board of Justice, the officials of the Board of Justice would not have the guts to correct it."

As the two walked towards the city gate, Yan Yuan's heart was a little depressed.

She felt that after this trip back to the capital, it would be time for her to leave him.

"Aren't you afraid that Yan Heng will do something secretly? Or did he secretly send someone with a death sentence in exchange for Yan Qi? "

There were many people on TV who would let such things go. Many damn criminals were all escaped just like that.

Although Yan Heng was not in the capital, he was still the Fourth Emperor. He was a prince, and had no power in the capital at all?

Moreover, didn't Yan Yuan say that Yan Heng had always wanted to compete for the throne with the previous emperor?

If they dared to fight for the throne, Yan Heng would definitely have people of his own, how else could they compete?

Successive dynasties of the imperial court were all partisan. There were very few officials who could wholeheartedly and wholeheartedly think for the common people.

Therefore, the possibility of Yan Qi being swapped out was not non-existent.

Yan Yuan looked at her, and suddenly smiled.

"What are you laughing at? Am I wrong?"

Liu Ruo Qing looked at him, pouting her lips in displeasure as she asked.

"No, This King is just thinking, if you are a man, then you are really an official material, to think so deeply into everything."

"Tsk, what do you mean if I were a man? Can't a woman be an official? Wu Zetian can even become a Kaiser. "

Liu Ruo Qing glared at Yan Yuan snappily.

"Who is Wu Zetian?" Why hasn't This King heard of this person before? "

"This... "Aiya, he's a character from a story that my teacher told me when I was young."

Liu Ruo Qing knew that she had leaked the information, and was afraid that Yan Yuan would suspect again.

But she simply did not know that Yan Yuan had long suspected her identity.

Yan Yuan looked at her seemingly nonchalant expression without batting an eyelid, and all the guilt in her eyes entered his.

Following that, he withdrew his gaze from Liu Ruo Qing's face and calmly probed: "Last time at the Duke Palaces, you told this duke that you missed your home, and now that you have stayed in the Easternum for more than half a year, do you want to go back and take a look?"

With that, he added, "This King will accompany you back."

Liu Ruo Qing's expression changed and she hurriedly shook her head, "No need, no need, I'm not going back."

When she saw the doubt flowing out of Yan Yuan's eyes, she suddenly realized something.

"Didn't you say you were homesick? "Why don't you want to go back?"

Sure enough, Yan Yuan threw the question over.

Liu Ruo Qing was panicking in her heart. She did not dare meet Yan Yuan's eyes, but rather went around to walk in front of him with a guilty conscience.

"It's because I'm too homesick. If I go back this time, I definitely won't want to come back. However, my royal father will definitely not allow me to stay at home. "

Yan Yuan looked at her back that was filled with guilt, and did not immediately expose her, but followed what she said instead — —

"Then This King can accompany you. Let's see if that father-in-law of This King dares to chase me away."

Liu Ruo Qing's footsteps paused, and then, she turned her head to look at him and laughed.

"You are the Prince Jing, and the people of the Easternum depend on you to seek good fortune. Aren't you overestimating yourself by staying with me in the xieqing?"

Yan Yuan had already walked to her side, gently putting his arm around her shoulders, and said: "As long as I can accompany you, I am willing to let the four seas be my home."
