If he hadn't recognized her at that time, she might have died at his hands.
Thinking back to that time, Yan Yuan's heart was filled with lingering fear, as well as uncontrollable heartache and fury.
He dragged Liu Ruo Qing in front of him. His sinister eyes were filled with a sharp glint that was like a violent storm, ripping Liu Ruo Qing to shreds from top to bottom.
"Liu Tian Xin, I never thought that you would actually be so ruthless.
As he spoke, a trace of hurt and heartache flashed through his eyes.
He gritted his teeth and looked at her with bloodshot eyes. Disappointment, heartache, injury, all sorts of emotions intertwined together.
A hoarse voice, one word at a time, almost bit out.
"You actually want to die in my hands, Liu Tian Xin, how cruel must your heart be for me to kill you with my own hands?"
When he thought about it, Yan Yuan's entire body started trembling, "How could I let you down? Why did I have to endure the pain of killing you with my own hands? Liu Tian Xin, how could I let you down!"
His heart was burning. One question after another, one accusation after another, were like sharpened swords, slicing her heart into pieces.
She endured the pain and self-blame in her eyes and looked straight into Yan Yuan's eyes, forcing herself to have a heart of stone.
She had nothing to say to Yan Yuan's accusation, nor could she refute it.
Last night, she had only wanted to kill himself. Yan Yuan would not die in Yan Yuan's hands just because of her falling out with the Kaiser, that was what she had willingly done.
But she never thought deeply about what kind of pain Yan Yuan would suffer if he were to personally kill her.
"You didn't let me down."
She lowered her eyes, her voice barely audible.
Yan Yuan's gaze that was filled with heartache quietly stopped on her face.
"Since I didn't let you down, why are you being so cruel to me? Do you know that when I think back to it now, my entire body is trembling. If I didn't recognize you last night, you would have died."
Yan Yuan's eyes had turned red from the pain. He grabbed Liu Ruo Qing's wrist with all her might, and it was so much pain that Liu Ruo Qing could not help but frown.
"Liu Tian Xin, you nearly died a little, I killed you with my own hands. Have you ever thought about whether or not I … "Even if it's just a little bit …"
The hoarse voice was filled with too much grief that it spread out from within his scarlet eyes.
Tears rolled down Liu Ruo Qing's face. Liu Ruo Qing didn't dare let them down.
She looked straight into Yan Yuan's eyes. The hurt and heartache in his eyes made her not even dare to blink.
After a long while, she endured the pain and retracted her gaze. Her gaze moved from Yan Yuan's face to the calm surface of the carp pond.
"Weren't you always suspecting that I was not Liu Tian Xin?"
She suddenly said this in a calm tone, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.
Yan Yuan looked at her with a gaze that was a little deep, and his temple suddenly jumped. His pitch-black pupils shrank as he stared at Liu Ruo Qing's calm face, and didn't speak.
"Alright, I'll tell you now."
She took a deep breath and smiled at Yan Yuan with an extremely pale smile.
Ever since she returned to the King Jing Palace last night, she was determined to tell Yan Yuan her true identity.
Actually, she was very clear in her heart that she could not hide anything from Yan Yuan for long.
"I've already told you. Perhaps you won't believe that I'm not a person of your generation, but a place a thousand years from now …"
She saw that Yan Yuan's eyes were calm to the point that they didn't reveal the slightest hint of surprise. It was clear that he didn't believe her words.
Let alone Yan Yuan, even she himself, if it wasn't for the fact that he had personally experienced it, how could she have possibly believed that these scenes that transcended space and time that only appeared in novels would actually happen to her?
She didn't care whether Yan Yuan believed it or not, and continued: "Because of an accident, I obtained this heartlock, and because of this heartlock, I was brought to xieqing, and at that time, I coincidentally met with you marrying Princess Tian Xin of xieqing, and Princess Tian Xin escaped the marriage. xieqing's Kaiser saw that I and his daughter's appearances were extremely imaginative, and forced me to marry Liu Tian Xin in place of the Easternum, and became your Crown Princess Jing."
As she said this last sentence, a smile suddenly appeared on her face. Her eyes were extremely gentle, and were no longer as heavy as they were at the start.
She was actually a little grateful to Liu Cheng He. Even if she could not meet Yan Yuan together, she would be satisfied to be able to experience so much with him.
The expression in Yan Yuan's eyes changed a little, as if he was trying to differentiate between the truth and the falsehood of her words.
After a long while, he looked at her and asked: "So when you saw royal sister-in-law take out the heartlock, you tried every means possible to get it? You want to use the heartlock to return to your own place? "
Yan Yuan still somewhat believed her words.
At that time, when she said that she wanted to go home, he had always thought that she was talking about going back to the xieqing.
Although this argument sounded absurd and unbelievable, there were many strange things in the world. Perhaps everything just happened for no reason.
Before, her strange behavior had always puzzled him, but now, everything began to become clear.
nodded his head, "That's right, the day I came here was on the tenth day of the eighth month. The heartlock was found in a mausoleum, since this heartlock was from the Queen Mother, I guessed that the mausoleum was the Easternum's mausoleum.
She looked at Yan Yuan's unfathomable eyes, and her lowered eyelashes trembled slightly. Since things had come to this point, there was nothing for her to hide.
"It just so happened that when I went over that day, the people from the Divine Arena were also there. They heard the commotion and were in a panic when they triggered the mechanisms within the Royal Tomb. Those people died, and I didn't have enough time to evade them."
She pursed her lips, took a glance at Yan Yuan, and spoke in a somewhat lowered voice, "You already know everything that happened afterwards."
"So …" A thousand years later, you went to my family's grave? "
The corner of Liu Ruo Qing's lips twitched. She was talking about such a serious problem, why did Yan Yuan have to focus on it differently than she did?
Was he speaking in a more reserved manner?
To be precise, she had actually dug up his family's grave.
"Mm …" We have archaeologists on our side who specialize in the culture of our ancestors from hundreds of thousands of years ago. "
Of course she wouldn't tell Yan Yuan that she was a grave robber.
With the identity of an archaeologist, it sounded much more high-end and grandiose.
Yan Yuan continued to look at her quietly, as if he was deep in thought.
