"Let's see if you still dare to join in on the fun next time. I'll accompany you in and have a rest. I'll have Doctor Lu come and take a look for you."
"No need!"
When Liu Ruo Qing heard Yan Yuan call over, she was so nervous that she instantly blurted it out and rejected him.
If Lu Yuan He came over, Yan Yuan would know about her pregnancy!
But now, she still hadn't decided whether or not to let Yan Yuan know. She couldn't tell Yan Yuan about it until she had thought it through.
Seeing her overreaction, Yan Yuan's face revealed traces of doubt.
Liu Ruo Qing's expression tensed, and quickly explained: "Just a little scare and have Doctor Lu come over, it's too much of a fuss, I'm fine, just come in and accompany me for a while."
Although Yan Yuan saw that her face was slightly pale, he was still alright, so he did not force her.
After accompanying her into the room and lying down, he sat down beside the bed and accompanied her. "Sleep for a while, I'll accompany you here."
"Alright!"
Liu Ruo Qing smiled at him slightly, her eyes curved into a smile that made Yan Yuan's heart go soft.
The more he looked at her, the harder it was for him to let anyone hurt her, even the tiniest possibility of it happening.
She reached out and grabbed Liu Ruo Qing's hand, gently stroking her soft black hair. Her eyes were filled with tenderness.
Liu Ruo Qing looked at him, trying hard to restrain the reluctance in his eyes as she slowly closed his eyes.
The sound of footsteps came from outside the door, followed by the voice of the butler, "Your Royal Highness, the leader of the Imperial Guards requests an audience."
Liu Ruo Qing, who had just closed his eyes, abruptly opened them.
"Tong Shao? What is he doing? "
Yan Yuan turned his head to look at Liu Ruo Qing, and lightly patted the back of her hand: "I'll go take a look, and I'll be back soon."
"Go back to your work. I have nothing to do here."
"Good boy."
He bent down, kissed Liu Ruo Qing on the lips, then stood up and walked out.
After Yan Yuan left, Liu Ruo Qing got up from the bed. Her face, which was devoid of any blood, had turned even paler.
"He's finally here."
She stood by the window and whispered to herself.
Tong Shao stood in the hall, his heroic face currently filled with contradiction and struggle.
If this really had something to do with the Crown Princess Jing, then it would be a big deal.
He paced back and forth in the hall. When he heard footsteps outside the door, he stopped and looked towards the door.
Seeing Yan Yuan coming in, he immediately went forward, "This humble servant greets Your Highness."
"You are looking for This King for something? Aren't you supposed to be searching for those criminals now? "
Yan Yuan walked to the uppermost seat and sat down. He pointed to the right lower seat, and indicated for Tong Shao to sit.
Tong Shao did not dare to take a seat. He only stood in front of Yan Yuan, looking at him with a stern and hesitant expression.
Yan Yuan also noticed his expression, his eyebrows knitted together, "If you have something to say, say it quickly, don't hesitate to say it."
"Yes."
Tong Shao clenched his teeth, took another step closer to Yan Yuan, and made a firm decision, "Your Highness, do you know who saved that bandit's head today?"
Yan Yuan's eyes flashed. He shot a sharp gaze at Tong Shao and asked: "Who is it?"
"Yes …" It's a wangfei. "
Tong Shao did not dare to hide anything, gritted his teeth, and said.
When he saw the wangfei save the bandit leader on the street today, he was quite shocked as well.
As someone from the Crown Princess Jing s, how could she save a criminal who attempted to rob a prisoner?
If he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would never have linked the Crown Princess Jing with those criminals.
Yan Yuan was shocked by her words, but his reaction was not as big as Tong Shao had imagined. It was as if he had already known this beforehand.
Seeing him sitting on the chair with his eyes lowered, not saying a word, Tong Shao did not know what he was thinking nor did he dare to disturb him.
He quietly stood in front of Yan Yuan without saying a word. After about the time it took to make a cup of tea, Yan Yuan finally spoke.
Hearing this, Tong Shao suddenly raised his head, and looked at Yan Yuan in shock, unable to believe his ears, "Your Highness, you …"
"This king has always suspected the identity of that person surnamed Chu. The woman who broke into the prison during the last time called him General Chu, and if he is not from the previous dynasty, then he is a general from the other countries. This king had expected him to come today to seize the prison, that's why I had the wangfei keeping watch over him."
Tong Shao was startled when he heard it, and was a little surprised that Yan Yuan would take the initiative to explain his actions to her.
If it was really the prince who had ordered his wife to go, then the prince only needed to tell him. Why did he have to specifically explain it to him?
Besides, if the king wanted to lure out those people behind his back, there was no need for her to do anything. He only needed to tell him that it would be better for him to be on his guard as soon as possible.
Although Tong Shao knew that the Duke always had a deep and unfathomable style of doing things, this time, he was truly unable to think of what the Duke's intentions were.
Yan Yuan knew that he couldn't convince Tong Shao right away; therefore, it wouldn't be that easy to fool this commander of the Imperial Guard.
He had to go to Qing Er's place and ask him about the situation before coming up with a plan.
"Leave this matter to this king. You may leave."
Tong Shao had too many questions in his mind, but at the moment, he did not bother Yan Yuan any further, and could only leave, "This lowly one will take his leave."
After Tong Shao left, Yan Yuan's eyebrows tightened coldly.
The person who robbed the prisoner must have known Qing Er. Last time, when she went to the palace to bring the assassin away, he didn't ask further because he believed in her.
This time, if he didn't get a clear answer, he was afraid that he would have to go through with it.
After leaving the main hall, he went straight to the second floor and returned to his room.
Liu Ruo Qing was not lying on the bed, but was sitting by the side of the table, seemingly waiting for her.
Yan Yuan walked forward with a frown, his face still showing a bit of displeasure.
"You were waiting for me?"
He sat down in front of her, but there was no emotion in his voice.
Liu Ruo Qing nodded, her eyes meeting his calm black pupils, and said: "Commander Tong, you heard about it, right?"
A trace of astonishment quickly flashed across Yan Yuan's face. He didn't expect her to bring up this matter so directly.
He thought that she didn't know about the matter of Tong Shao seeing her making a move.
Yan Yuan lightly rapped his fingers on the table a few times, then asked: "Do you have anything to say to me?"
On his face, there was more disappointment than anger.
"Last time, if you didn't tell me, I wouldn't have asked. This time, you acted on your own, and was even seen by Tong Shao. Even if this duke wants to help you cover it, I don't know how."
There was a bit of anger contained within his calm voice, but looking at Liu Ruo Qing's expression, he just couldn't bear to get angry at her.
Liu Ruo Qing knew she was in the wrong, and to Yan Yuan's question, she did not have much of an excuse.
Ye Zichen pursed his lips and didn't say anything.
"What else have you not told me? Tell me everything now."
Yan Yuan's low voice revealed a sense of helplessness.
