C270 270 Return to Beijing

His words were paired with a hint of melancholy and determination.

However, Liu Ruo Qing did not bother to read through the words that were promised, and only thought that it was a joke.

"Forget it. If I kidnap you away, your nephew will not send thousands of men to kill me."

She removed Yan Yuan's hand from her shoulder and said: "Let's hurry up. Your Prince Jing is a busy man and there are still a lot of matters to attend to when we return to the capital."

Her face looked extremely relaxed, as though he was carefree and unworried. However, Yan Yuan knew that there were too many things hidden in her eyes.

Three days later, the two finally returned to King Jing Palace.

"Your Highness, Princess, you two have finally returned."

"What happened? Did something happen in Beijing?"

"No, no, it's Tenth Princess's sickness that's finally cured. She's now running to King Jing Palace every day, and seeing that you haven't returned, she's going to lose her temper. This old servant is really … Sigh, this old servant does not know how to deal with that little ancestor anymore. "

Hearing that Housekeeper Xu mentioned that Yan Chang's condition had recovered, Liu Ruo Qing's heart relaxed at the same time, but at the same time, it had also darkened by quite a bit.

This also meant that the agreement between her and Yan Yuan would be fulfilled very soon.

However, he was still extremely reluctant towards Yan Yuan in his heart.

If she wasn't forced to, how could she be willing to leave?

Her gaze turned towards Yan Yuan, and saw that he was looking at her, looking at each other, as though they had a lot to say in each other's eyes.

Her heart suddenly thumped, her mind was in a panic, her gaze immediately pulled back from Yan Yuan's face as if she was escaping.

"Sigh, after three days of travelling, I need to go back and sleep. Don't call me for dinner."

She found an excuse, sped up her footsteps and ran back to the East Garden.

Yan Yuan frowned as he watched her figure disappear at the entrance of the East Garden.

"The princess' illness has completely recovered?"

"Yes, according to the imperial physician, the princess is completely fine now. For the past few days, this old servant has been lively and energetic when he saw her."

Yan Yuan lowered his eyes, he muttered to himself for a moment, then waved his hand to the butler, "Go down."

"Princess, your relationship with the Prince has improved quite a bit, right?"

Xiao Yue helped Liu Ruo Qing organize her luggage, and seeing her dejected look, she joked.

"The Prince and I are working on a case, not having a relationship, so why should we have feelings for each other?"

Liu Ruo Qing unhappily swept Xiao Yue with a glance, feeling a little guilty.

Not only did it increase his feelings, but he had also broken through the last step.

However, she was becoming more and more conflicted. The straightforward and decisive way she had left before was now slowly leaving her.

However, Xiao Yue did not believe him. After packing her luggage, she walked in front of Liu Ruo Qing and said: "When we're talking about this case, we can still have a relationship. This is delaying us even a little."

"You damned girl. After not seeing you for this month, your courage has grown. You even dare to make fun of the prince. Aren't you afraid that he will drag you out to randomly beat you to death?"

"This servant isn't afraid. Aren't you still here, Princess?"

Xiao Yue frowned, her face was filled with confidence.

It was as if she had recognized that Yan Yuan cared a lot about her, her master.

Liu Ruo Qing looked at Xiao Yue, and after a long while, she sighed and said, "Xiao Yue, tell me, where did that Princess Tian Xin of yours go?

"Ever since the princess ran away from the marriage, the emperor had sent people everywhere to search for her. However, seeing that the time was running out and the princess was nowhere to be found, the emperor had no choice but to force you to marry me, Lady Liu."

Xiao Yue looked at Liu Ruo Qing's worried look and said: "But to be honest, Lady Liu, you really look like our princess. Unless you are someone who is familiar with us, you cannot tell."

"Is that so?"

Liu Ruo Qing tilted her head, trying to distinguish if Xiao Yue's words were exaggerated or not.

She was a person who came to this world in the 21st century, how could she coincidentally look exactly like Princess Tian Xin?

Could it be that Princess Tian Xin is still in front of him … In her previous life?

"Yes, the first time this servant saw you, I almost thought that the princess had been found and brought back."

"Then tell me, with Yan Yuan's identity, status, and looks, just how does Princess Tian Xin look down on him? Why did she escape the marriage?"

When Xiao Yue heard her question, she scoffed and laughed, "Isn't she the same as you in Lady Liu, who would be willing to marry an old man like you, an eighteen year old girl?"

"That's right, who would have thought that Kaiser's uncle was so young?"

Liu Ruo Qing still blushed when she thought about the first night she saw Yan Yuan.

What if Yan Yuan had killed her in a fit of rage?

"But, right now it's quite good. Your servant, your highness, has treated you so well. Even if our princess were to come back now, your highness wouldn't even look at her."

Xiao Yue's words made Liu Ruo Qing's heart tighten, as though she was easily grabbed by someone, and she was unable to breathe.

Wasn't this what she was afraid of when she insisted on leaving?

Yan Yuan's previous promises were repeated over and over again in her heart. The deeper he thought about it, the more panicked she became, and the more afraid she became to stay by her side.

She looked at Xiao Yue. In this place, only Xiao Yue knew that she was not the real Liu Tian Xin, and only with Xiao Yue, would she be able to temporarily breathe.

"Tell me, one day, if my fake identity is exposed, that would be the crime of cheating on the king. Even if the king does not investigate, with my identity as the Crown Princess Jing, not only will I become Yan Yuan's wife, I will also contact the entire imperial family. When that happens, will the Kaiser, the empress dowager, and the ministers let me go?"

When Liu Ruo Qing said this, even he turned silent.

Of course she knew how powerful this was. Crown Princess Jing was not the wife of an ordinary family.

Once the identity of the Lady Liu was exposed, it would be a crime of beheading.

Even if the Duke wanted to protect the Lady Liu, the sacrifice he would have to make would be huge.

Xiao Yue raised her eyebrows, for a moment, she did not know what to do, and could only say: "Prince will definitely think of a way to protect you, don't worry."

She was not worried about the fact that her identity as a Lady Liu had been exposed, but that her mission was also extremely urgent.

There were less than ten days until the Royal Tomb Winter Sacrifice. In other words, she didn't have much time left to prepare.

Liu Ruo Qing didn't know what Xiao Yue was thinking and looked at her. After muttering to herself for a moment, she asked: "Xiao Yue, do you have a boy you like?"

Because of Liu Ruo Qing's question, Xiao Yue suddenly raised her head, a trace of panic flashing past her eyes, along with a trace of sadness and helplessness that Liu Ruo Qing couldn't detect.
