C271 What credit do you want when your wife is gone

"No …." "Nope."

Liu Ruo Qing sized up her expression, then laughed: "You dare to lie to me, you do."

"Lady Liu, I …"

Xiao Yue was at a loss as to what to do under her gaze.

"On Mid-Autumn's day, the name you wrote on the lotus lamp was your lover, right?"

Liu Ruo Qing looked at Xiao Yue gossiping. The question she asked made Xiao Yue's heart tighten.

The fists under his sleeves tightened unconsciously, as if he was doing his best to restrain his emotions.

After a while, she smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, but he and I …"

She frowned, suppressing the bitterness and sadness in her eyes. "There's no way that he and I are together."

"Why?"

"Lady Liu …"

Xiao Yue's eyes were a little red. When she thought about the person at the bottom of her heart, her heart, seemed to have been pinched by him, making her feel like she could die at any moment.

"There are too many things in a person's life that they can't do without their own will. I'm afraid that person and I can only forget about the martial arts world for the rest of our lives."

Or perhaps, even forgetting about the martial arts world was an extravagant hope.

It's the separation between yin and yang. Either he dies or I die.

Liu Ruo Qing felt that Xiao Yue had something to say, and the way she spoke did not sound like she was speaking to a young maid.

She calmly looked at Xiao Yue for a while before retracting her gaze.

Thinking back to what Xiao Yue had just said, she couldn't help but sigh, "That's right, there are too many people who can't help themselves with too many things."

Every family has its own problems, she thought that Xiao Yue, as a servant, would not be as troubled as her.

Therefore, she definitely could not implicate Yan Yuan.

He belonged to the imperial court, to the common people of the world, not to her alone.

She withdrew her gaze and lay down on the bed. "I'm a bit tired, let's sleep for a while. Don't wake me up for dinner."

Xiao Yue regained her senses, she retracted all of her thoughts and nodded: "Yes."

While the Evening meal was still sleeping, Xiao Yue was still packing her things. Just as she left the room, she saw Yan Yuan standing outside the door.

"Your servant greets Your Highness."

"Yes." Your princess is still sleeping? "

"Reporting to Your Highness, the Princess said that she had been travelling for a long time and was too tired. She said that the Evening meal did not need to call her to eat."

"Got it, you can go now."

"This servant will take his leave."

Yan Yuan entered the room and closed the door. His eyes looked at Liu Ruo Qing who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and a look of worry appeared in his eyes.

When he returned to the capital, there were some things he had to face after all.

"Sigh …"

Looking at the moonlight outside the window, Yan Yuan heaved a long sigh.

He stepped forward and closed the window, then turned around and saw that Liu Ruo Qing had woken up.

She rubbed her drowsy eyes and sat up from the bed. Seeing Yan Yuan in the room, she was momentarily stunned, "Why are you here?"

"It's already so late, of course I'm going back to my room to sleep."

Yan Yuan said as a matter of fact. He had already stepped right in front of him, and some kind of evil smile appeared in his eyes.

Although sharing a bed with Yan Yuan was nothing new, he felt uncomfortable whenever Yan Yuan mentioned it in front of her.

"Oh, then go to sleep. I'm full so I came down to take a walk."

She walked around him and got out of bed, stretching.

Yan Yuan could feel that she was avoiding him, and retracted the helplessness in his eyes. Walking to her side, he said: "You haven't eaten dinner yet, do you want the kitchen to make you something to eat?"

"No need."

Liu Ruo Qing shook her head. Yan Yuan's approach and his consideration for her made her even more flustered.

"The moon's not bad tonight. I'll go out and take a look."

With that, she increased the distance between her and Yan Yuan, wanting to walk out, but Yan Yuan stopped her.

She turned her head and met Yan Yuan's deep gaze, as well as the worry flowing out of his eyes, "Is there something on your mind?"

Liu Ruo Qing's eyelashes trembled for a moment. Then, she laughed in a seemingly casual manner, "No, there's nothing on my mind. It's just that I feel that the moon is beautiful today, so I want to go out and take a look."

"Alright, This King will accompany you."

"Yan Yuan..."

"Don't refuse, you've refused too many times."

Yan Yuan's voice turned cold, and interrupted the words that were about to leave his mouth.

Liu Ruo Qing did not speak anymore, and like a puppet, she was brought to the courtyard.

The moonlight tonight was truly beautiful. The moon was large and round, covering the entire courtyard.

The two of them sat side by side on the stone steps in front of the courtyard.

Neither of them spoke up first. They stayed quiet for a very long time, until the atmosphere in the surroundings seemed to become stifling.

"Yan Yuan."

In the end, it was Liu Ruo Qing who spoke first. She turned her head to look at him, and her gaze coincidentally landed on his deep eyes.

These deep eyes were so clear that they clearly reflected the sadness and reluctance in her eyes.

"Yan Chang's sickness has already completely healed, shouldn't you..."

"I know what you want!"

Yan Yuan cut her off with a darkened face, but panic flashed past his sharp eyes.

He knew that there were some things he needed to face, but he found that he didn't have enough courage.

Especially when he knew that she also had him in her heart.

How could he let go so easily?

"A letter of rest, This King will not give it to you!"

"Yan Yuan!"

Liu Ruo Qing stood up abruptly, anxiety and panic flitting past her eyes, "We agreed to a deal at the time, how can you not even have this little bit of credit? How can you make others believe you in the future?"

"Yes, yes!"

Yan Yuan was enraged, he stood up on the stone steps and pulled her in front of him.

With a livid face and anger that was hard to conceal, he gritted his teeth and said, "This King even wants to run away from his wife, what's the point of having credit!"

"You …"

Liu Ruo Qing's expression was also a little ugly, she didn't know how she should explain herself to Yan Yuan.

"This king might as well tell you, since you've married me, you've become part of the Yan family's royal family tree. Even if you took the rest of the papers, it would be useless, and without the permission of the emperor and the empress dowager, your name won't go away. Even if you escape to the ends of the earth, you won't be able to shake off your identity as a Crown Princess Jing."

Liu Ruo Qing didn't expect this at all, and upon hearing Yan Yuan's words, his body fiercely trembled.

"Then... "Then tell royal sister-in-law, they would definitely agree to let you say that, since the royal sister-in-law dotes on you and the Emperor respects you so much."

"I'm so full that I have to support myself!"

There were several times when Yan Yuan wanted to directly swear, but in the end, he managed to endure it.

Liu Ruo Qing was furious and anxious, she realised that she and Yan Yuan were actually no longer reasonable.

"Yan Yuan, you're simply baffled. You clearly promised well, yet now you went back on your word. How can you do this? Why did you go back on your word? I …"

She actually didn't know what she was going to say either. She was so flustered that she was at a loss for words.
