C303 The Relationship Between the Abyss and the Cloud Love

She gently raised her head from Yan Yuan's embrace, and saw that beautiful face that was just inches away from her own. It was still so beautiful that it captivated one's heart, as if she could not get tired of it no matter how much she looked at it.

Her eyes revealed a trace of a teasing smile. Just as she was about to reach towards the tip of Yan Yuan's nose after taking her hair from her temples, she heard a magnetic voice coming from above her head.

— —

"You just woke up and you want to do something bad?"

It was a pleasant voice with a hoarse voice that had just woken up. At first glance, it sounded a bit whimsical and sexy.

Liu Ruo Qing's hands stopped moving, she quickly retracted her hands and in the next second, she met Yan Yuan's eyes that were slowly opening.

Deep and clear.

"Morning."

The corner of her mouth twitched guiltily as she stuck out her tongue at the prank she had almost succeeded in.

"Morning."

Yan Yuan's eyes contained a smile, the hand around her waist became a little heavier, "What did you want to do to me just now?"

"What did I do to you?"

She guiltily retracted her gaze, rolled her eyes, and immediately changed the topic, "It's almost time to start talking, why aren't you going out? Princess Yun Ai found it? "

Yan Yuan let out a light sigh, and wrapped his right hand around Liu Ruo Qing as he said, "I've been busy these past few days looking for her, and I don't have time to accompany you."

Liu Ruo Qing's smile stiffened in his arms, and then she laughed without a care: "What's there to be afraid of? We meet everyday, when we find Princess Yun Ai, wouldn't you be able to focus on accompanying me?"

Seeing that she didn't seem to care at all, Yan Yuan sighed in disappointment, "It seems you don't mind me looking for another woman at all, it's truly disappointing."

He sighed, causing Liu Ruo Qing to snicker unhappily. He extended his hand and pushed him, saying: "I do not wish to be called the bane of my women in the imperial court, it will affect your proper business."

She came out from his embrace and said, "Get up quickly, it's more important to find Princess Yun Ai."

Yan Yuan looked at her as he helplessly got off the bed. If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't know whether Yun Ai was dead or alive, he really wouldn't want to be in this situation himself.

"I'll accompany you to breakfast."

"No need, don't delay matters."

Without even thinking about it, Liu Ruo Qing rejected her offer without even a hint of care. This made Yan Yuan a little disappointed.

He still wished that she wouldn't be so sensible, causing a ruckus in front of him once in a while.

"Hurry up and go."

Liu Ruo Qing pushed him and urged him on.

He was a little angry in his heart, but in the end, Yan Yuan did not insist and put on his clothes. After washing his face and rinsing his mouth, he left the Duke Palace.

The yamen of the Imperial Guard.

"Ol'ninth, from the information the Imperial Guards received from the river, it seems that she still hasn't found Yun Ai's body even after so many days. The chances of her surviving should be very high."

The Eighth Prince Yan Jue pointed to the map in front of him and continued, "Look, there's a fishing village downstream from the river. Could it be that Yun Ai was saved by the people from the fishing village?"

"It's possible. Even if the Imperial Guards can't find Yun Ai, they should be able to find some clues from the fishing villages near the river."

"Yes."

Yan Jue nodded and said to the deputy general beside him: "Do as Prince Jing says."

"Yes, this lowly official will take his leave."

"Wait."

Yan Yuan spoke and called for the deputy general.

"Does Your Highness have any other orders?"

"Let's go to the God Dog Camp and bring the Night Wolves with us."

"Yes."

After the assistant general left, Yan Jue pinched the center of his brows and sat down on a chair, "I have been extremely tired from trying to find Yun Ai these past few days. If anything were to happen to Yun Ai, let alone explaining it to the Divine Martial Emperor, I will let down my mother's last wish before his death."

Yan Yuan frowned as he sat down beside Yan Jue. The exhaustion on his face was also somewhat obvious.

"Oh yeah, you left early and came back late these few days. Is my sister-in-law willing to let you go to bed?"

Yan Jue's gloating voice came from his right hand.

Yan Yuan looked up at him, and snorted coldly, "Royal brother, why are you so concerned about our marriage?"

"That's true. Who asked you to be my younger brother? I don't care who you care about."

Yan Jue frowned, "Tian Xin didn't kick you off the bed?"

Because he knew Liu Ruo Qing's identity, if Yan Yuan heard the two words "Tian Xin" from anyone's mouth, it would make him feel extremely uncomfortable.

But now, before he thought of a foolproof plan, the only thing he could do was to conceal Ruo Qing's identity.

"I wish she could be jealous, but she doesn't care at all."

Hearing the disappointment in Yan Yuan's tone, Yan Jue burst out laughing.

"I can't tell. The Prince Jing has really deep feelings for his sister-in-law. Listen to this grudging tone …"

Yan Jue's teasing attracted Yan Yuan's displeased gaze, "How about I go up to the Emperor's side another day and give him a marriage ceremony?"

"Forget about it. This King is still living a comfortable life. Ninth Brother, you better not cause any trouble for me."

Yan Jue quickly waved his hands and refused, looking like he was avoiding the beasts.

It was as if she wanted to kill him by marrying him to a princess.

"What royal brother said, I think our Tian Xin and I are good. It's cold, but we can still warm each other up …"

"Alright, alright, your Tian Xin is the best, alright, can you not be numb in front of me? Furthermore, they were even trying to keep each other warm. It was unknown who was the one who was gritting their teeth so hard that they even wanted to tear their bones apart. "

Yan Jue said with a look of disdain.

But then again, love is such a wonderful thing that it can turn this thousand-year ice of Ol 'Nine into nothing.

Yan Yuan didn't mind Yan Jue's words.

If he could have predicted that he would love that girl so much today, he wouldn't have dared to curse her even a bit when she beat him to death. He almost let her run away with another man.

"However …"

Yan Jue's expression suddenly became serious, he looked at Yan Yuan and asked: "Does Tian Xin know about the relationship between you and Yun Ai?"

Yan Jue's words caused Yan Yuan's face to darken, "What does Yun Ai and I have to do with each other? Don't speak nonsense in front of Tian Xin. "

"I know that you don't have any relationship with Yun Ai, but when mother was alive, he gave Yun Ai to you, and you did not reject his at the time. In the end, in order to save Chang'er, you married Tian Xin, and if you do not explain this matter to Tian Xin, it would be difficult for her to tell you."

Yan Jue's words caused Yan Yuan's expression to darken even more. His thick eyebrows knitted together but he did not speak.

When his mother had said that he would betroth Yun Ai to him, he hadn't rejected his because he didn't understand love. To him, marrying anyone was the same.

Furthermore, at that time, he was only fifteen and Yun Ai was only eight, so he didn't take this seriously at all.
