"Ruo Qing? If you are safe and sound, then it will be a sunny day. "
He softly repeated her name and meaning, and when he looked at her, his eyes became increasingly determined and fiery. His long arms wrapped around her and pulled her into his embrace. "Yes, if you are well, then it will be a sunny day."
Liu Ruo Qing stiffened in his embrace.
She knew that he was telling her that he must take care of her.
She snuggled into Yan Yuan's embrace, wantonly enjoying the gentleness and love he gave her.
After she had told Yan Yuan her identity, her mood had always lingered in the midst of lighthearted and heavy contradictions.
The relaxed thing was that she could finally avoid having to shoulder this secret alone, as she had to deal with Yan Yuan's suspicions towards her everyday.
And what was heavy was that it was very difficult to conceal this identity for the rest of her life. When that day came, what would she do?
Forget it, I won't think about it. What she wanted now was to be with Yan Yuan properly, even if it would only be for a day, she would be satisfied.
"Right."
Yan Yuan thought of something and looked down at Liu Ruo Qing who was in her arms.
"What?"
She looked up and the expression in Yan Yuan's eyes when he looked at her caused her heart to thump loudly.
"Last night, what did you sneak into the Imperial Palace for?"
She had already expected Yan Yuan to ask her this question, but she couldn't think of a reasonable explanation to answer it.
She raised her eyebrows as a difficult expression appeared on her face.
"Is it hard to answer?"
Yan Yuan asked in a low voice as he looked at her distressed expression.
Since she was not a person of this era, she wouldn't have any relation with anyone in this era. What did she need to do with breaking into the Imperial Palace?
"No, I don't know what to say."
Liu Ruo Qing pursed her lips, and hesitated on how to reply.
Yan Yuan was not an idiot. Since she had told him his identity, Yan Yuan could imagine that she did not have any conflicts of interest with the people of this era.
Therefore, she did not know many people, even if she did not give a careful answer, it was possible that Xiao Yue would be exposed.
Although she didn't know who Xiao Yue was, she felt that she wasn't a bad person. This time, she had helped Xiao Yue, and she hoped that she hadn't done anything wrong.
"Alright, then I'll change the question."
Yan Yuan's attitude appeared to be a little casual, without any overbearing aura, and instead, it was as if he was talking about something that was unrelated to his.
"Who is the person with you? Or... "What's the identity of that person in the Celestial Prison?"
Liu Ruo Qing's head drooped lower and lower.
She had rejoiced over saving Xiao Yue yesterday.
Once Xiao Yue was captured, she would definitely have a relationship with him as her servant.
This was something that even Yan Yuan could not say.
Yan Yuan might let her go, but she would definitely not let him go.
Although she was not really a saint, she spoke about righteousness. Xiao Yue had been by her side for so long, acting as if he was working hard and treating her as her master.
She really couldn't let Xiao Yue just hand her over to him like that.
He only hoped that one day, when he thought about how he had saved Xiao Yue today, he wouldn't regret it.
"If I tell you, and I don't know, do you believe me?"
she asked, looking at him with a mischievous smile. God knows how nervous she was at the moment.
She indeed did not know what Xiao Yue's true identity was, but, just because she told Yan Yuan this, she did not believe that Yan Yuan would truly believe her lies.
Yan Yuan was not angry, and continued to ask: "Since you don't know who they are, why did you help that person get rid of the prison?"
"I didn't help her escape from the prison. I was just running to the palace last night and coincidentally met with the matter of the prison break. Can you help her escape?"
Liu Ruo Qing pursed her lips and retorted.
When she followed Xiao Yue to the Imperial Palace, she hadn't thought that she would be going there to rob a prison.
Yan Yuan raised his brows, looked at her, and said: "Incidentally? So what were you doing in the palace last night? "
Liu Ruo Qing looked at Yan Yuan's clear and transparent eyes, and suddenly, she laughed sinisterly.
"I wasn't thinking, you haven't returned to the palace for more than ten days, who knows if you've hidden some beautiful maiden in the palace, so you're not thinking about returning home. I just snuck in to take a look, who knew that there would be a prison robbery? I saw that he had nowhere else to go, so I decided to give him a hand."
"You can't even tell if he's a good person or a bad person, are you still going to help?"
"From the looks of it, that person is trying to save his comrades. It shouldn't be too bad."
"You're so kind."
Yan Yuan unhappily poked her on the head, "You're not allowed to do this next time, you hear me?"
"Got it, I guarantee it will be the last time."
Liu Ruo Qing extended four fingers towards Yan Yuan, taking the oath. Then, she carefully asked: "Then, do you believe what I said?"
"I don't believe you."
Yan Yuan answered without thinking, under Liu Ruo Qing's disappointed eyes, he grabbed her shoulders and said: "But I believe that you won't harm me. Since you're not willing to tell me, then I won't ask."
Liu Ruo Qing never thought that Yan Yuan would really stop mentioning this matter. It was only because he trusted her, so he easily let go of the assassin.
Her eyes that looked at Yan Yuan were filled with gratitude and excitement.
Leaning his face against Yan Yuan's chest, he said seriously: "Yan Yuan."
"Hmm?"
"I'll never hurt you, really."
"Yes, I believe you."
Liu Ruo Qing lifted up from his embrace and looked at him. After staring at him for a long time, her expression was somewhat strange as she looked at Yan Yuan, feeling a little uncomfortable.
"What's wrong? Why are you staring at me like that? "
Both of Liu Ruo Qing's hands hooked onto his neck, she raised her head, and her eyes blossomed with sparkling ripples.
"Nothing, I just felt that …" "You look really good today …"
She stood on her tiptoes and took the initiative to kiss Yan Yuan on the lips, winking mischievously, "I just want to kiss you."
Yan Yuan was startled, he did not think that Liu Ruo Qing would be that straightforward. In the next second, he gently raised the corner of his mouth, placed his palm on her head and covered her lips, "Alright, kiss as long as you want."
The matter of Xiao Yue breaking into the palace to rescue him was easily suppressed by Liu Ruo Qing just like that.
Xiao Yue was very clear that the reason why she could successfully escape this calamity was because of Liu Ruo Qing's existence.
If she continued to stay by Liu Ruo Qing's side and be her servant, perhaps she could really avoid that calamity.
However …
She was burdened with too much responsibility. She was destined to never be able to remain calm and collected.
Yan Qi's case was submitted to the Board of Justice from Flower Creek County. Rather than saying that it was Zhuang Qing who decided this case, it would be better to say that it was Yan Yuan who decided it.
Therefore, even if the case was handed over to the Ministry of Justice, Yan Heng would still be punished by death if he were to look for all sorts of relationships with them.
Most importantly, no one dared to change the verdict of Yan Yuan.
