Liu Tian Xin's explanation was too ridiculous, it was hard to believe. However, this explanation was the only way to explain why she had held the heartlock and kept chanting spells at the sun and moon.
Liu Ruo Qing looked at him a little uneasily. After a few seconds of silence, she said: "Alright, I've told you everything that you wanted to know."
This time, she was putting all of her crimes of deceiving the monarch in front of Yan Yuan.
"Now do you know why I don't want to say it? If my fake identity were to be exposed, I would have my head chopped off. Do you know? "
There was helplessness in her eyes as she said, "I only want a single letter of rest. I can legally walk far away, but you don't want to …"
At the tip of her nose, there was a hint of jealousy, as she looked at Yan Yuan, her voice choked with emotions.
Yan Yuan's heart hurt for a moment, "I said it before, I will not let anyone kill you."
His eyes were still as resolute as before, without the slightest change after knowing of her fake identity.
Liu Ruo Qing did not say anything. Wasn't that what she was afraid of?
Yan Yuan didn't know what she was thinking in her heart. On the contrary, he was happy because she was suddenly honest with him.
"A thousand years later, you are still able to appear on my clan's ancestral tombs. This means that you are destined to be one of my people, Yan Yuan.
There was a gentle smile on his face as he looked at her affectionately.
Even though a thousand years had passed, it was still a fated encounter …
Liu Ruo Qing secretly laughed in his heart as she looked at Yan Yuan with both eyes. His heart was slightly moved.
"It's fated that we have to shoulder the crime of deceiving the monarch. Now, you know that I've committed the crime of deceiving the monarch. If you keep this a secret from the emperor, you've also committed the crime of deceiving the monarch. Don't you worry?"
She silently looked at Yan Yuan. At this moment, her heart was filled with contradictions.
On one hand, she was afraid that Yan Yuan would abandon her and hand her over to the Kaiser to punish. On the other hand, she was afraid that he would fight against the Kaiser to protect her.
Yan Yuan looked at her, still smiling. His fingertips brushed his hair lightly.
"If I was afraid, I would have handed you over to the Kaiser when you barged into the Royal Tomb."
Liu Ruo Qing was startled, when she thought back to when she was heavily injured and escaped from the imperial mausoleum, she took care of her and even warned her not to tell anyone about barging into the mausoleum.
Liu Ruo Qing looked at her quietly for a while, then said: "Yan Yuan, can you promise me one thing?"
"Other than asking me for the book, I promise you everything."
"If... If the day comes when the emperor finds out that I'm pretending to be Liu Tian Xin, you definitely can't have any conflicts with the emperor. "
Liu Ruo Qing's words caused Yan Yuan to frown.
He knew that the national law was stronger than the heavens. Although Yan Shuo was the noble son of heaven, he still had to obey the national law. Even if he did not investigate Tian Xin's crime of deceiving the monarch, what about the rest of the officials?
The fact that he was sitting at such a high position was something he could not control. Therefore, the Kaiser would never let him, the Ninth Aunt, off the hook.
He frowned and did not say anything. It was clear that he did not want to agree to this request.
From the time he told her that even if he stole the mountains and rivers from the Kaiser, he had to protect her thoroughly. He was very clear that as long as this matter was exposed one day, the conflict between him and the Kaiser was inevitable.
"Yan Yuan..."
Liu Ruo Qing saw that Yan Yuan did not say a word, and his heart tensed up.
It was because of this that she was so determined to not let Yan Yuan know that she was impersonating Liu Tian Xin.
The best she could think of was to get the letter of rest and remove it from the Yan Clan's royal family. However, things obviously weren't going as smoothly.
"I can't promise you that."
His gaze was burning with passion as he looked at Liu Ruo Qing, "You treat me the same way Yun Jiao Rong treats the Kaiser. If one day Yun Jiao Rong breaks the national law, he might be able to turn the tables on Yun Jiao Rong, but he won't show mercy to his aunt. So, if one day, Yun Jiao Rong really steps that far …"
"Yan Yuan!"
Liu Ruo Qing interrupted him in a loud voice. She clearly knew what he wanted to say.
When he reached that step, he would replace the Kaiser as a traitor, and protect her completely even if he had to go against the laws of the country.
Xia Jie, Shang Zhou, immoral, exterminating loyal officials and generals. In the end, what kind of fate would he end up in?
Being scolded by the entire world!
How could she bear to let Yan Yuan carry Xia Jie's notoriety just for her?
"Yan Yuan, we do not need to be so pessimistic, I am just making an impersonation of the crime, outside of the nation's law, there is no other reason other than being a human being. When that time comes, royal sister-in-law, the eighth royal brother, and the Wang Xiang may help me plead for mercy, but in short, promise me not to take that step, alright?"
Yan Yuan looked at the request in her eyes quietly. After pondering for a moment, he nodded his head, "Alright, I agree."
Hearing Yan Yuan's agreement, Liu Ruo Qing finally let out a sigh of relief, and lightly smiled at Yan Yuan, "Since you've agreed, you can't go back on your words."
Yan Yuan nodded lightly, and did not repeat those words.
He was very clear that he had promised her today. When that happened, he would definitely go back on his word.
"That's right, your injury from last night …"
Liu Ruo Qing's words were stopped at the tip of her tongue.
"Just pretend that you don't know anything about what happened last night. Don't mention it to anyone."
He reached out his hands, wrapped them around Liu Ruo Qing's waist and hugged her to her chest, and said: "I let go of you, the assassin, last night.
He lowered his voice, his expression serious as he tried to scare her. However, Liu Ruo Qing was not able to laugh at all, and she immediately nodded seriously.
If news of what happened last night were to spread out, then it would be a huge crime.
"I know."
She lowered her voice and looked at his arm that was covered by the outer garment. With a pained heart, she asked, "Do you feel any pain?"
"It hurts."
Yan Yuan nodded his head, a look of grievance on his godlike face: "Kiss me, and I won't hurt you."
Liu Ruo Qing glared at him, and said angrily: "Shameless."
"Alright, then I'll kiss him."
As soon as he finished speaking, he took the initiative to seal Liu Ruo Qing's lips.
However, this time, he did not kiss for too long.
"You haven't told me your name yet."
It was a question that came to him at first sight.
Liu Ruo Qing didn't understand why he would ask for her name. Then, she realized that he was asking for her real name.
She looked at him with a smile, and climbed onto his shoulders with her hands, standing on tiptoe to prop herself up next to her ear. With a smile, she whispered: "Liu Ruo Qing, weak Liu Fu Feng, if you are safe, then you will be the sunny Ruo Qing."
Finally, she told him her name. If you were well, it would be a sunny day.
She looked at Yan Yuan with a smile, her eyes filled with sweetness.
It was good that he knew her name.
In front of him, she was no longer Liu Tian Xin, but Liu Ruo Qing.
