Seeing Shen Qin's somewhat strange expression, her heart suddenly thumped once.
"Twenty days ago … That is to say, before the prince has fully consumed the last month's worth of poison, he has already used inner strength? "
Shen Qin looked at Liu Ruo Qing and said softly.
Liu Ruo Qing nodded seriously, "Is it serious?"
Shen Qin didn't know how to reply to Liu Ruo Qing, and only looked at her with a serious expression.
"The remaining poison has yet to be cleansed. Even if Your Highness had only used 10% of his internal energy, he would still be able to force the poison into his heart. After that, it would only become more and more painful every once in a while."
Shen Qin saw that Liu Ruo Qing's face was gradually becoming deathly pale and she couldn't bear to make her suffer too much. She comforted her, "Royal Concubine, don't worry.
Facing Shen Qin's consoling, Liu Ruo Qing was unable to laugh.
Yan Yuan was normal because he never showed it in front of others.
That day, when he kissed her, that passionate feeling had suddenly stopped.
She was worried that Yu Su Yao would come over again, so she knew that Yan Yuan wouldn't be worried about that.
The only explanation she could come up with was that he had been poisoned and did not dare to let her know about it.
He was indeed very good at camouflage. Even she could not see through his disguise, much less the others.
The light in Liu Ruo Qing's eyes gradually cooled down.
Self-reproach, heartache, filled her heart.
"Princess, are you alright?"
Shen Qin said worriedly.
"It's fine, I'll go and see Yan Yuan."
Her voice, muffled, choked.
Yan Yuan had also left Yu Liang's room early in the morning. Originally, he wanted to go find Liu Ruo Qing, but he only saw her pulling Shen Qin and left.
He did not think too much into it, and only thought that she wanted to pull Shen Qin out to play, but he did not think too much into it.
The moment the door closed, the expression on his face turned ferocious.
His hands were clutching his chest. His heart felt like it was being chewed on by millions of ants. It was as if his heart was about to shatter into pieces.
He sat down on the bed and wrinkled the blanket underneath him. A thin line of black blood slowly flowed down the corner of his mouth.
It was at this moment that the door was knocked. Liu Ruo Qing's voice appeared outside the door, "Yan Yuan."
His fingertips fiercely trembled, and his ghastly pale face revealed slight panic.
Liu Ruo Qing stood outside the door, seeing that Yan Yuan did not have any reaction, he became anxious.
The knocking on the door became even more serious. There was even a hint of panic in his tone.
"Yan Yuan! Are you in there? "Yan …"
The door, in the next second, creaked open, and Yan Yuan stood in front of her, everything was normal, even his pale white face instantly disappeared.
When Liu Ruo Qing saw him, her eyes became passionate and without saying a word, she threw herself into his embrace.
Yan Yuan's body stiffened for a moment, after that, he extended her arm and wrapped it around her trembling body, "What's wrong, what happened?"
His voice was very gentle, devoid of any trace of poison.
Liu Ruo Qing did not say a word.
After a long while, Liu Ruo Qing's muffled voice came from her mouth, carrying a bit of lingering fear.
"What were you doing just now? I didn't even react when I knocked on the door."
She didn't ask him about the poison. She didn't want him to bear any psychological burdens, so she could only quietly observe his every move from the bottom of her heart.
Since he didn't want to worry her, she might as well pretend that she didn't know.
She felt Yan Yuan's body visibly stiffen.
Then, with a very calm tone, he said, "Just now, I was thinking about the case of the relief food and didn't notice the movement at the door."
He casually found a reason, afraid that Liu Ruo Qing would ask further, and quickly changed the topic, "Didn't you go out to play with Shen Qin just now? Why did you come back? "
Liu Ruo Qing didn't tell Yan Yuan the truth. She only made up a reason, and said: "Since the Yu County Command is already like this, how could I still have the heart to go out and play around?
She raised her head from Yan Yuan's embrace and asked: "Right, now that the relief food has been given out, let's go back to the capital."
She no longer wanted to care about who was behind the food. She just wanted to return to the capital quickly, so she didn't dare to let Yan Yuan take the risk outside.
If they continued to investigate the case of the relief food, it would inevitably become a fierce battle.
She no longer dared to imagine whether Yan Yuan could still endure another fierce battle.
Yan Yuan felt her urgency, but did not think much about it. He only supported her back, and asked with a smile: "Why are you suddenly in such a hurry?"
Liu Ruo Qing rubbed her head against his chest and said, "I'm afraid. I want to return to the capital as soon as possible."
Yan Yuan was very surprised that he would be so direct and afraid, because the wife he knew was someone who would not admit it even if he was afraid.
He noticed Liu Ruo Qing's strangeness and frowned, "Alright, we will set off for the capital tomorrow."
He didn't ask any further, probably because he was worried about the poison in his body.
What he did not know was that Liu Ruo Qing already knew that he may have been poisoned a few times.
"We'll leave tomorrow morning."
Liu Ruo Qing emphasized in a low voice in his arms.
"Alright, we'll leave tomorrow."
Regardless of the reason, he was still worried about letting Qing Qing stay here to take the risk.
Since Qing Qing offered to leave, he wanted to leave too.
He had a feeling that this Chengyang County would be even more difficult to deal with than Grand Shun Prefect or even Patrol Officer.
The urgency of Liu Ruo Qing leaving was even more urgent than what she had imagined.
After Yu Liang consumed the antidote, the poison had receded quite a bit. As long as he continued to take the medicine on time for another month, his life would not be in danger.
And the villager that Yu Liang had risked his life to save had already knelt beside Yu Liang's bed for an entire day. No matter how others called out to him, he was unwilling to get up.
It was only until Yu Liang woke up and opened his mouth to tell him to get up, did he finally stand up from the ground in gratitude.
His eyes were red and swollen. It was obvious that he had been crying for a long time.
That afternoon, the news had spread across the entire Chengyang County. It was said that in order to save someone, the lord of the county had been bitten by a poisonous snake and had almost died.
The commoners saw Yu Liang as the savior of their Chengyang County, and all of them said that they would go through thick and thin for him.
Once this matter was spread out, Yu Liang's position in the hearts of the commoners far exceeded that of the Kaiser in the capital.
Their respect for the Kaiser carried fear, but towards Yu Liang, it was the kind of respect that was willing to sacrifice their lives for him.
After all, Yu Liang was the parent official of the Chengyang County.
However, Yan Yuan felt that there was something weird with this Yu Liang.
