"Liu Tian Xin, what do you want me to do for you to be willing to believe me?"
His eyes glared at her fiercely, "Kaiser is not a person that can be easily dealt with, you can only tell me the truth, and then I can help you. Liu Tian Xin, do you believe that I can do it?"
As he finished speaking, Yan Yuan's powerless voice faintly revealed a hint of begging.
Liu Ruo Qing felt that she could not hold on much longer, but when she thought that Yan Yuan would have a huge conflict with him, all of her hesitation once again intensified.
"Yan Yuan, I believe you, I really do."
She nodded her head vigorously, forcing the bitterness out of her eyes. "So, what I told you is also true. Don't ask anymore."
"Liu Tian Xin, you …"
Yan Yuan was angered to the point that he did not even have the strength to get angry.
It was his first time seeing such a stubborn woman, so no matter what, it didn't make sense.
"Good …" Don't say it, you'll never say it! "
Yan Yuan was truly angered by Liu Ruo Qing this time, "Liu Tian Xin, this king doesn't care about you anymore."
With a cold expression, he opened the door of the study and slammed it.
Liu Ruo Qing stood in the study room and listened to the door slam behind him.
"What I'm afraid of is that you care about me."
A trembling, hoarse voice came out of Liu Ruo Qing's mouth.
From that day onwards, for the entire seven days, Yan Yuan did not return to the Duke Palaces, but stayed in the Zi Yu Palace.
This matter naturally reached the empress dowager's ears.
The empress dowager had always been concerned about his relationship with Liu Ruo Qing.
Back then, the empress dowager had already known that Yan Yuan's goal in marrying the xieqing Princess was to save Yan Chang.
Thus, what sort of feelings did the husband and wife have towards each other?
In addition to Ol 'Nine's bad temper, not many women could take it.
It wasn't easy for her to see the relationship between the two to improve a bit. Ninth Elder stayed in the palace for seven or eight days before the empress dowager started to worry again.
longevity palace —
"Dong Xue."
"Your servant is here."
"Go to the Violet Imperial Palace and ask King Jing to come see you."
"Yes, Majesty."
Not long after, Yan Yuan followed Dong Xue and came to longevity palace.
"Your servant greets the Empress Dowager."
"You're excused."
The empress dowager stood up from her seat and walked in front of Yan Yuan. "Follow Wailing Home to the garden at the back."
"Yes."
In the winter backyard, the white plum blossoms bloomed densely, adding a bit of luster to the cold winter.
"Ol'ninth, have you been fighting with Tian Xin recently?"
Yan Yuan's footsteps paused, and his expression changed slightly.
"No, royal sister-in-law is overthinking it."
"But how did Wailing Home hear that? You have already stayed in the palace for seven or eight days, and for you to leave your wangfei in the palace for so long, I'm afraid that people like you, who don't know anything, will think that you and your wife are in an awkward situation."
The empress dowager smiled as she looked at Yan Yuan and persuaded him, "Tian Xin has such a personality. It's not like you don't know that she married into our Easternum and doesn't have anyone close to her. If you, her husband, gave her the cold shoulder, do you think she would be happy?"
Yan Yuan laughed bitterly in his heart.
Eat the soft, not the hard …
How many times had he softened before her, almost knelt down to beg her, had she obeyed him?
Her Majesty did not know what was going on, but thought that they were merely at odds.
He also hoped that what was happening between them was only a small conflict between husband and wife.
"royal sister-in-law, your servant knows that there are some matters that have to be settled in the assembly these few days. If you're late, you can stay at the palace. After you're done with these two days, your servant will return to the prince's mansion."
Yan Yuan didn't want the empress dowager to worry about him, so he found an excuse to not mention anything.
The empress dowager did not question him further, but upon hearing Yan Yuan's words, she nodded her head in gratification. "This way Wailing Home can be at ease.
"Yes, younger brother understands."
King Jing Palace —
At night, the cold wind blew gently.
Liu Ruo Qing held the heartlock that she had lost and gotten back at, but she no longer felt the joy she had when she obtained it.
Not only did he lose his previous joy, his heart felt heavier and heavier.
His gaze fell on the outside of the window in a daze.
Tonight's moon was very round and bright. Back then, she had taken the heartlock and tried again and again with it, but she could not successfully pass through.
She walked to the window, looked at the moon, and said to herself, "If you could help me with this, and send me back to modern times, I would have no worries at all."
"Sigh …"
Putting the heartlock aside, she sighed. Just as she retracted her gaze, a black shadow swept past her.
"Who is it?"
Without thinking, she jumped out of the window.
In next to no time, he had caught up to the black shadow.
The other party's movement technique was very quick, and could be said to be on par with Liu Ruo Qing.
Liu Ruo Qing chased after her all the way outside the Imperial Palace.
She hid in the darkness and watched that person's back. The more she watched, the more familiar she felt.
Suddenly, her eyes flashed, and looked at the person in front of her in shock: "Xiao Yue?"
She remembered that back then in the Duke Palaces, Xiao Yue's shoulder had clearly suffered a very serious injury.
Now, she had appeared outside the Imperial Palace …
Could it be that, some time ago, an assassin appeared in the palace, and the person the leader of the Imperial Guards had been trying to apprehend was Xiao Yue?
"Strange, isn't Xiao Yue Liu Tian Xin Liu Tian Xin's personal servant girl? Her martial arts were actually this good, moreover … What is her goal in breaking into the Forbidden Palace? "
Liu Ruo Qing lowered his eyes and muttered. When she raised his eyes again, Xiao Yue had already flipped into the palace walls.
The security in the prison was tight.
At this moment, in the dead of night, a black figure quickly entered the prison.
She searched one cell after another and finally found the person she was looking for in the cell at the very end.
The man was covered in wounds. He was leaning against the corner of the cell. Not a single part of his body was intact.
He was on the verge of death, and if he were to use torture again, he might not be able to hold on for much longer.
The iron lock to the cell door had been cut off. The man leaning against the corner opened his eyes sharply.
Even though his body was covered in wounds from the torture, his eyes were still sharp and spirited the moment they opened in the darkness.
"General Chu!"
The mask cloth took it off, revealing Xiao Yue's beautiful face.
"Xiao Yue!"
The moment the middle-aged man saw Xiao Yue, he was shocked. His eyes that were originally filled with resolution, instantly became filled with fear.
"This is the Great Inner Heaven Prison, what are you doing here? This is too dangerous.
The long torture caused General Chu's voice to sound especially hoarse.
"General Chu, I'm here to rescue you from death."
Without saying a word, Xiao Yue helped General Chu up and walked out of the Sky Prison.
The General Chu took Xiao Yue's hand away, and said with a stern expression. "Xiao Yue, before those guards find out, you must quickly leave.
