C352 I just want to hurt you a little more

In this society where both men and women were inferior to each other, making a man voluntarily kneel down in front of you was not an easy matter, not to mention that the other party was the current Emperor Uncle who wielded great authority.

He even took the initiative to crouch down in front of her without her even asking for it. Liu Ruo Qing said that she didn't feel anything in her heart, and that she was deceiving herself.

Yan Yuan stood up, stood in front of her, and stuck close to her, "Regarding these few days, it's not appropriate for you to walk around in the snow for too long.

Liu Ruo Qing was obviously startled, but in her heart, raging waves were stirred.

She didn't think that Yan Yuan squatting down and carrying her was because of this.

Had he kept track of her time in his mind?

Her eyes moved as she looked at Yan Yuan. Her nose turned sour, but she simply stared at him without saying a word.

Yan Yuan saw that she did not say a single word, and a trace of confusion flashed in his clear eyes. Did I remember the wrong day? "

Liu Ruo Qing took a deep breath, and retracted the uncontrollable throbbing and ripples in her heart, and shook her head: "No, I remember correctly."

No wonder she felt a dull pain in her stomach today. He didn't remind her, so she didn't remember.

Her monthly affairs had always been very accurate. Today was the first day since the arrival of the moon. Although she hadn't come yet, the dull ache in her lower abdomen was quite evident due to standing in the snow.

Yan Yuan smiled, then squatted down in front of her again, "Come up, you have been standing in the snow for too long, don't cry when your stomach hurts."

She didn't know if her stomach would hurt to the point of crying, but now, she did feel like crying.

She forced the tears back into her eyes as she smiled and walked forward. Without a trace of politeness, she lay on his thick and warm back and whispered into his ear, "Then I won't be polite."

Yan Yuan didn't say anything, only a smile hanging from the corner of his mouth as he used his free hand to stroke the tip of her nose lovingly. He carried her on his back and walked forward.

If he could, he would be willing to carry her for the rest of his life.

This was originally a farmland, but because of the blizzard, all of the crops in the farmland were frozen to death.

For farmers who depend on farming for their livelihood, this is undoubtedly a great disaster.

Liu Ruo Qing got off Yan Yuan's back and stood next to him.

"The crops have all been frozen, and the fields are barren. No wonder the people are going to revolt."

Liu Ruo Qing whispered as she looked at the dead straw all over the place.

"But there are also those dog officials who have wasted their lives to add to their disaster."

When Yan Yuan spoke, his tone was filled with an intense killing intent.

After standing in the field for a while and looking at the sky, Yan Yuan said: "Xuan Ling and the rest should be back soon. Let's go back to the inn first."

"Alright."

Liu Ruo Qing was about to turn around and walk back when she was stopped by Yan Yuan.

She turned her head in confusion, seeing that Yan Yuan had once again crouched down before her, patting her shoulder, and said: "Come up."

This time, Liu Ruo Qing did not move, and only looked at him in silence, and said: "It's actually just a matter of the moon, there's no need to be so formal."

Originally, she only thought that Yan Yuan was just being impulsive and that she had let him down the road by a small margin just because of a joke.

He didn't expect that he would have to carry her back at this moment.

She was actually very afraid that she would fall for Yan Yuan's back. In Yan Yuan's embrace, Yan Yuan doted on her without restraint.

Seeing that Yan Yuan did not have any intention to get up, she took a step forward and pulled him up, "Quickly leave, carrying me on your back like this is too ostentatious."

She pulled Yan Yuan up, and before she could retract her hand, Yan Yuan had already pulled her into his embrace, "This king wants to carry you, do you want to escape as well?"

His voice contained a trace of powerlessness, and his heart was filled with pain. His voice, along with the warmth of his voice, flowed into her ears, but in the blink of an eye, it turned into a thread of coldness that disappeared into the air.

His chin was pressing against the top of Liu Ruo Qing's soft hair, rubbing it with a bit of infatuation and reluctance, "I just want to hurt you a little more before you leave, I won't bother you, and will force you to stay."

Liu Ruo Qing's heart was instantly squeezed by Yan Yuan's powerless words.

The tears in her eyes could not be forced back no matter how hard she tried.

She buried her face deep within Yan Yuan's chest, listening to her firm heartbeat, but her heart was in even more pain.

After a long while, she raised her head from Yan Yuan's embrace, extended her arms and tightly wrapped them around Yan Yuan's neck. With a slight force, she tiptoed and forcefully kissed him on the lips, but didn't go any deeper.

She only touched her lips for a moment before withdrawing from his. "I don't want my back. I want you to hug me."

Yan Yuan was startled at first, but after that, he revealed a brilliant smile. He extended his finger and casually scratched the tip of her nose, "How dare you be so pampered!"

Having said that, he picked her up and walked steadily in the direction of the inn.

Wang Xuan Ling and Shen Qin had already heard from each other that they had returned. Although the two were standing in the tavern's main hall waiting for them, they were separated by a small distance and neither of them spoke.

When she saw Yan Yuan carrying Liu Ruo Qing in from the outside, the intimate look on their faces didn't hide anything. On the contrary, when Shen Qin looked at them, her face turned red in embarrassment.

In his heart, he was still a little envious of Liu Ruo Qing. There was such a man in this world, who did not care about status nor status.

Reaching the inn, Yan Yuan set Liu Ruo Qing down. On the way back, although the journey wasn't far, it wasn't close either, so Yan Yuan carried her, a person who weighed over 90 jin, and walked as they walked, not even affecting his footsteps and breathing, as if he hadn't held her just now.

Yan Yuan indicated for the two of them to sit, and casually poured a cup of hot tea, placing it in front of Liu Ruo Qing. Seeing his subconscious movements, Liu Ruo Qing was startled, she raised her gaze, looked at Yan Yuan, and accepted the cup of tea, then took a sip.

Only after the hot tea entered her stomach did she realize how cold it was outside. However, she didn't notice it as he was holding her all the way.

In Liu Ruo Qing's heart, various complex emotions fluctuated, but not a trace was revealed on her face.

"Did you ask anything?"

Yan Yuan looked at the two of them.

Wang Xuan Ling looked at his surroundings, and said in a low voice: "My prince, I have secretly asked many commoners, and they all said that Guangshun Mansion has never received any relief food sent from the imperial government."

Yan Yuan's eyes suddenly flashed. When he raised his head to look at him, a sharp look flashed past his eyes, "Relief food has never been to Guangshun Mansion before?"

"Yes, Your Highness. Han Hai arrived a day earlier than us. He heard from the county magistrate that the relief food had not reached the Guangshun Mansion. Without further ado, he sent the Zhixian into prison and prepared to escort the county magistrate back to the capital to restore his strength."
