C275 Heartlock Found in the Tomb of the Emperor 275

These words of his were said rather ruthlessly, and at the same time, it had completely cut off all hope that Liu Ruo Qing had in her heart.

In Liu Ruo Qing's heart, there was some anger. She raised her eyes to look at Yan Yuan and said: "Do you really think I won't be able to escape from your King Jing Palace?"

A cold sneer came out of Yan Yuan's mouth, "Of course I know that you have the ability to leave the King Jing Palace, but you must also know that in this entire world, there is no one that I, Yan Yuan, cannot find."

He looked at Liu Ruo Qing, his deep eyes narrowed slightly, "I'm afraid you have already thought of this point. Otherwise, you wouldn't have waited for me to write a letter before leaving."

Yan Yuan's words left him speechless.

Yan Yuan had already guessed her thoughts. He knew what she was thinking and planning in her heart.

What he said was right, she had many opportunities to escape by herself, but if she wanted to avoid any worries, she could only get the divorce papers from Yan Yuan's hands.

She stared at Yan Yuan without speaking, and after a while, she retracted her angry gaze.

As Yan Yuan watched her back, which was filled with anger, the expression in his eyes slowly dimmed.

Was it wrong for him to simply want to keep her by his side?

Why did their relationship get so stiff?

The carriage fell into silence once again. No one spoke, and the royal family continued to march towards the direction of the Royal Tomb in a grandiose manner.

As for the Royal Tomb, all preparations had been made. All the elite guards had already arrived there.

When the Kaiser's empress dowager and all the ministers arrived, it was time for the ceremony to start.

The doors of the imperial mausoleum opened, and all the officials kneeled down. As the of the Kaiser, he knelt down at the very front, and behind him were the descendants of two different families.

The ministers were all kneeling outside the imperial mausoleum. Yan Shuo, along with the descendants of the Yan family, were kneeling all the way inside the mausoleum.

When the kneeling ceremony ended, Yan Shuo was the first to stand up.

However, a light flashed from the corner of his eyes the moment he stood up.

When he stood up, he paused for a moment. His gaze looked towards the corner below the spirit tablet, and the light in his eyes suddenly deepened by a few degrees.

That thing was emitting that silver light in the corner. Although it was weak, Yan Shuo could see it clearly in front of him.

He extended his hand and took the silver object. Then, he opened the object in his palm. The light in his eyes gradually became profound.

Why is the heartlock in the Royal Tomb? Isn't it always in the hands of the Ninth Aunt?

Yan Yuan's expression became thoughtful.

He couldn't help but think of those People from the Divine Artefact Hall that had died in the Royal Tomb.

Yan Shuo kept the heartlock in his arms. At this time, he did not have the time to think too much about it.

Because Yan Shuo did not get up while kneeling, the rest of the Yan Family members also knelt with their heads bent. No one saw Yan Shuo's previous actions.

After Yan Shuo stood up, he turned to look at the rest of the Yan family members.

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

Everyone started to rise. When Yan Yuan saw Yan Shuo's gaze, it carried some unknown meaning as it swept across his face lightly.

Somehow, Yan Shuo's gaze caused him to feel a little uneasy in his heart.

After exiting the Royal Tomb, the Yan Clan's female clan members and ministers kneeling outside also stood up.

The ancestral worship ceremony lasted all the way until the evening.

Those who participated in the worship of the Ancestor were all arranged to live in the temporary palaces near the Royal Tomb.

After using the Evening meal s, everyone returned to their rooms to rest.

At this moment, a glimmer appeared in Yan Shuo's palace.

He had been holding onto the heartlock he had picked up from the Royal Tomb, and his brows were furrowed even more tightly.

"Why would the heartlock appear in the Royal Tomb?"

In his heart, he was somewhat vexed. Truth be told, he didn't wish to have anything to do with the People from the Divine Artefact Hall breaking into the imperial mausoleum at all.

He walked to the window and looked at the place right in front of it. It was Yan Yuan's and Liu Ruo Qing's palace.

"Does the Ninth Aunt have anything to do with that?"

He thought about what he had discussed with Yan Yuan that day.

The Royal Tomb had shot a total of five crossbow bolts, but only four corpses had been found, and only four crossbow bolts had been found.

According to the direction of the blood traces in the Royal Tomb, there should have been another person who escaped.

That person … Could it be the Ninth Aunt?

The more he thought about it, the more nervous Yan Shuo became.

He was very clear what kind of feelings his Ninth Uncle had for the Ninth Aunt. Once something really happened to the Ninth Aunt, Royal Uncle would very likely do something without thinking of the consequences.

Thus, this matter was likely not that easy to resolve.

Gripping the heartlock in his palm, Yan Shuo's heart became extremely heavy.

After a long while, he called out to the people outside the door, "Men!"

"Your servant is here."

"Bring the eighth prince over."

"Yes."

Inside Yan Jue's palace, he looked at the Minister of Imperial Household in shock. "Your Majesty, you're looking for me so late at night?"

"In reply to Your Highness, this old servant isn't too clear either. It's just that, after this old servant saw that the emperor seemed to have something on his mind after offering sacrifices to the Ancestor, this old servant didn't dare ask."

Yan Jue lowered his eyes, his expression becoming somewhat serious.

After the end of the offering today, he also felt that the Kaiser was a little strange, but he didn't ask too much at the time.

But now, it was already so late, and the Kaiser was summoning him over. It looks like something had indeed happened.

"Has the emperor called the Ninth Prince over?"

"Nope."

"No?"

Weird, if something big had happened, Kaiser should have not only asked him to go and discuss it.

In Yan Jue's heart, the oddity only grew stronger.

"Alright, I understand. This King will follow you."

"Please, Your Highness."

Entering the palace in Kaiser, Yan Jue immediately asked: "Your Majesty, I heard from Eunuch Chen that you were looking for me. Is there something important?"

Yan Jue was naturally a carefree and carefree person, different from Yan Yuan's innate cold personality.

Therefore, when he entered, he did not act too seriously when he saw the heavy expression on Yan Shuo's face.

Seeing Yan Shuo nod his head, he opened up his palm in front of Yan Jue, "Royal Uncle should be able to recognize this, right?"

"heartlock?"

Yan Jue's eyes flashed with doubt, "Didn't royal sister-in-law give this to Tian Xin? Why are you here? "

As he spoke, a trace of unease flashed through Yan Jue's heart.

Although he still looked indifferent, but from Yan Shuo's expression, Yan Jue felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.

laughed helplessly, then looked towards Yan Jue and said: "Does Imperial Uncle know, where did we get this heartlock?"

Yan Jue did not reply. He only looked at Yan Shuo, waiting for him to speak.

"The Royal Tomb."

Yan Shuo's answer made the carefree smile on Yan Jue's face freeze, after that, all the cynicism disappeared, and was replaced with seriousness.

"Royal Tomb?"

Yan Jue's gaze looked at the heartlock in Yan Shuo's hands, and he repeated, "You said, this heartlock was obtained from the imperial mausoleum?"
