"Many thanks, royal father. Many thanks …"
Yan Qi repeatedly kowtowed to Yan Heng. With his father's guarantee, his heart was finally at ease.
After all, when his father was still a prince, he had also won over many ministers in the imperial court. Those ministers might really be able to save his life at a critical moment.
"Hey, you talk about yourself. How could you do such a stupid thing? You're the noble Crown Prince, don't you have any beauties? How could you do something like this?"
"At that time, my son was so angry that he became confused. He thought that the Chen family was purposely deceiving my son, that's why …"
Speaking to here, Yan Qi suddenly thought of something, and his eyes brightened up as he held Yan Heng's arms tightly, "Royal father, it's her! It's her! It's that woman! "
"What her?" Which her? What are you talking about? "
Yan Heng was confused by his actions.
"On the night of the interrogation, the woman that stood beside the Ninth Imperial Uncle was the woman that told his son that she was the Chen family's eldest miss."
Yan Heng's face changed, and in the next second, his face darkened, and said: "What nonsense are you talking about, are your eyes playing tricks on you?"
Seeing that Yan Heng did not believe him, Yan Qi became anxious, "Father, your child did not recognize wrongly, it was she who caused me to become like this, and it was she who caused me to do this, how could I possibly recognize her wrongly?"
On Yan Heng's face, there was still no sign of believing him, and he said: "Do you know who that girl is? She is Ninth Aunt, Yan Yuan's wife, Crown Princess Jing! "
"Crown Princess Jing?"
Yan Qi was astounded, "She ran over to marry Ninth Uncle?"
"What are you talking about? He was the princess of the xieqing and he had married into the King Jing Palace half a year ago. QI Er, you must have been too nervous in the past few days and have seen wrongly. Rest well, your royal father must have been thinking of a way to save you, and he will definitely save you. "
Yan Qi's expression was a little dazed and absent-minded, "Could it be that I really saw wrongly?"
Yan Qi began to doubt himself.
If it was the Crown Princess Jing, she would definitely not leave the capital easily.
At this time, Yan Qi did not think too much about this matter.
Shen Ji Hall —
"Young master, in ten days, the Yan family's Emperor's Tomb Winter Sacrifice will begin. In these few days, the Emperor's Tomb has already started to increase its security, Yan Yuan's two thousand elite soldiers have already gone there, if we want to assassinate the Kaiser on that day, the difficulty will be a little high."
In the hall, a devilish young man was sitting right in front of him, expressionlessly listening to what his subordinates were saying. Not a single emotion could be seen on his face.
After a long while, he asked, "Are you all ready?"
"We've already made preparations on this side, but …"
The subordinate looked at Yan Yuan with a little more hesitation and awkwardness.
"Young master, I feel that the success rate of our assassination is less than fifty percent."
The young man's gaze turned slightly colder, and his eyes that seemed like the flowers emitted a trace of fierceness.
The men beneath him trembled a bit. They didn't dare look at him with fear just from his gaze.
The young master was just like that. He looked harmless on the surface, but in reality, he could kill someone in the blink of an eye.
A moment later, the man retracted his gaze and said: "For the time being, let's put aside the assassination. I have a more flawless plan, compared to the assassination of the Kaiser in the Royal Tomb, this new plan of mine might be more suitable for the Yan Clan …"
He stopped in his tracks, and in the end, his thin blade-like lips curved up in a perfect curve.
"The world is in chaos."
The underling was surprised for a moment. He carefully looked at the man and asked after hesitating for a moment, "Young master, do you mean that we should cancel the assassination attempt on Winter Sacrifice?"
"That's right."
Within the enchanter's beautiful eyes, a myriad of unfathomable meanings could be seen.
A moment later, he thought of something and said, "Call Enchanting Shadow to see me."
"Yes, Young Lord."
The imperial mausoleum's Winter Sacrifice was an annual tribute paid to the entire imperial family. It was mainly to pay respects to the ancestors of the Yan family, and at the same time, ask for the protection of the ancestors.
Although it was just a ceremony, every year it was always very grand. Besides the entire imperial family, there were also many civil and military officials.
The majestic imperial troops started moving towards the direction of the Royal Tomb.
In Yan Yuan's carriage, Yan Yuan and Liu Ruo Qing sat facing each other, speechless.
Ever since the bad news of that night, the two of them rarely met. Even when they met, they didn't say much.
Yan Yuan was a little angry in his heart. He realized that no matter how hard he tried, she just wouldn't budge.
He knew what she might be afraid of, but did she not believe he could protect her?
Could it be … Was the only way he could protect her was to send her away?
The more Yan Yuan thought about it, the more he panicked in his heart.
Her gaze did not change as she looked at Liu Ruo Qing. Her gaze was fixated outside the window of the carriage, not even sparing him a glance.
And on this carriage, the happiest person was none other than Yan Chang.
On the way to the imperial mausoleum, as a princess, she originally had her own carriage. However, she insisted on sitting together with Yan Yuan and since Yan Yuan was somewhat angry, she let him on the carriage.
Yan Chang was obviously happy in his heart.
He was especially happy when he saw the cold atmosphere between his elder brother and his most hated sister-in-law.
"Royal brother, it's so boring in the car. Why don't you have a chat with me?"
Yan Chang sat beside Yan Yuan, and requested like a spoiled child.
Yan Yuan withdrew his gaze from Liu Ruo Qing's body without batting an eyelid, and looked at Yan Chang's excited face: "What do you want to talk about?"
Ever since she became ill at the age of ten, she had never left the princess' mansion, let alone going to the Royal Tomb.
After all, she was his younger sister, so when she thought of the hardships she had suffered, her heart ached and she felt pity for him.
"Just talking about you."
"Talking about me?"
Seeing Yan Chang's gaze, he turned towards the side of Liu Ruo Qing's face outside the window without batting an eyelid, and a scheming smile flashed past his eyes.
"Royal brother, you've already been married for half a year. Have you ever thought of taking in a secondary wife? I can advise you. "
Yan Chang's words caused Yan Yuan's expression to suddenly turn cold, and some unhappiness appeared in the depths of his eyes.
"What kind of occasion is this? Do you have to mention it?"
His deep voice was filled with unconcealable displeasure.
Yan Chang was also a little afraid in his heart, but she could still remember how many times his royal brother taught her a lesson for Liu Tian Xin. When he thought about it, that fear would be replaced by anger and unwillingness.
"Well, anyway, I'm bored in the car now, so let's just talk."
Yan Chang timidly looked at Yan Yuan and explained in a small voice.
