Liu Ruo Qing's eyelashes trembled slightly as she raised her eyes to look at Yan Yuan. She still had a little hesitation in her heart.
This time, Yan Yuan was truly angry, and was angry and disappointed with Liu Ruo Qing.
"Before you do anything, why didn't you discuss it with me? Do you know that if Tong Shao saw you making a move and stabbed him in front of the Kaiser, you would be dead for sure!"
His voice was somewhat loud, and his face was ashen.
The moment he got angry, the part of his heart that hadn't felt any pain for a long time suddenly twitched!
He clutched his heart, his breathing somewhat hurried!
Seeing Yan Yuan like that, Liu Ruo Qing's heart tensed up, and quickly walked to his side, "Don't be angry, it's not like I'm not telling you, it was also when I went out earlier that I bumped into him."
Anxiety and self-blame filled her face. Yan Yuan wanted to be fierce against her, but he couldn't bring himself to do so.
But he still did not plan on letting her go so easily, "When we return, you should tell me. After you tell me, I can finally think of a way to deal with Tong Shao."
His voice was still deep, but it was clearly softer than the anger he had at the beginning.
Liu Ruo Qing knew that Yan Yuan was worried about her, and did not try to defend herself.
She sat down beside Yan Yuan and said: "I was afraid that you would be worried, so I didn't dare to tell you."
She took Yan Yuan's hand and shook it like a spoiled child, "Don't be angry, let me tell you now, is it late?"
Her eyes were bright, and there was a faint hint of fawning in her eyes, causing a large portion of Yan Yuan's anger to dissipate.
"It's not too late if you tell me everything."
He reached out and grabbed her hand. Then, he gently squeezed her hand with a helpless look on his face.
Seeing that he was not angry, Liu Ruo Qing giggled and went over to his side, his expression turning serious.
"Yes …" It's Xiao Yue. "
"Xiao Yue?"
Yan Yuan's expression suddenly sank, and the look in his eyes became somewhat colder, "That servant girl of yours, Xiao Yue?"
Liu Ruo Qing nodded her head before following her and explaining in a serious tone, "That night, I saw her leave the Duke Palace quietly while I followed behind her. I saw her enter the Imperial Palace and rescue the person called General Chu from the heavenly prison.
Yan Yuan's brows furrowed tightly. He looked at her and did not say a word.
Liu Ruo Qing also didn't know whether she believed him or not, so she could only continue: "After that day, she didn't think about anything else, and I also slowly relaxed. I also didn't think that she would go to prison today."
Yan Yuan did know Liu Ruo Qing's true identity, so he obviously knew that Xiao Yue's actions this time had nothing to do with Liu Ruo Qing.
"Did she tell you her real identity?"
Liu Ruo Qing shook her head, "She only told me that she would definitely not hurt me. Her goal, is also not to go to the palace to assassinate the Kaiser."
"It won't hurt you?"
"If she hadn't succeeded in escaping today, you would already be in prison with the Imperial Guards right now."
That servant called Xiao Yue, she absolutely could not stay any longer!
Liu Ruo Qing lowered her eyes and did not speak.
If it was back then, her relationship with Xiao Yue wasn't that good, it would be impossible for them, who had been together for almost a year, to not have a shred of master and servant relationship.
Although she was not exactly a kind person, she could not just watch as Xiao Yue died.
Moreover, she believed that Xiao Yue wasn't a bad person. Furthermore, that General Chu was full of righteousness, there was really no way for her to link the two words "bad people" with them.
But what Yan Yuan said was true, if Xiao Yue did not succeed in escaping today, then she would be the one to be in trouble.
Seeing her knit his brows and not saying a word, Yan Yuan knew that she was still worried about Xiao Yue.
He caressed her hair and said: "Even if her goal wasn't to assassinate Kaiser, with her trespassing multiple times in the Forbidden Palace, she would still be guilty of this. As for her identity … "
Yan Yuan slowly stood up from the chair, his serene and deep gaze slightly narrowed. "Perhaps I have to ask another person."
"Who is it?"
"Liu Tian Xin."
"Liu Tian Xin?"
Liu Ruo Qing was startled, then she understood what Yan Yuan meant.
Xiao Yue was originally Liu Tian Xin's servant. Then Xiao Yue's actions might have something to do with the xieqing.
That person called General Chu, could also be a commander of the xieqing.
Thinking about this, Yan Yuan already helped her get some clothes, and helped her put it on, "Go to Prince Lu's Mansion and ask her."
Prince Lu's Mansion —
Liu Tian Xin had already been trapped in the Prince Lu's Mansion for a few months, and the more she thought about it, the more she regretted jumping onto Yan Jue's body to ask for help.
Right now, she was trapped in Prince Lu's Mansion and couldn't go anywhere.
If he was not free to do so, he might as well let Yan Yuan kill him to silence him back then.
Life and death were worse than death.
Even more unbearable was the fact that she had to live every day wearing a human skin mask and wearing a face that wasn't her own.
No matter how well a human skin mask was made, it couldn't compare to her real face. After wearing it for so long, she was about to die from the pain.
She opened the door and walked out. She looked around to make sure that there was no one around, then she quietly went to a very remote courtyard in the Prince's Mansion.
Since this place was remote and uninhabited, the guards were naturally a bit more relaxed.
"I don't believe you can catch me this time."
Liu Tian Xin touched her chin, thinking back to how she had been caught escaping from Yan Jue the last few times, her face was filled with unwillingness.
She didn't believe that Yan Jue could keep his eyes on her all the time.
She looked up at the towering wall before her and took a deep breath, then jumped up to the top of the wall with ease.
Just as she was feeling proud of herself, she saw under the huge banyan tree on the street outside the wall, Yan Jue leaning lazily on the tree trunk, lazily waving his fan, looking at her with a smile that was not really a smile.
Liu Tian Xin's complacent smile, instantly froze on her face, her legs slipped, and she directly fell off the wall.
Fortunately, someone was faster than her. The moment she landed, her feet lightly swayed and she flashed to her side. After circling her a few times, she steadily stood still.
The instant Liu Tian Xin fell down from the wall earlier, she was so frightened that her entire body was drenched in cold sweat.
Both of his hands were tightly holding onto Yan Jue's clothes, afraid that he would fall down like a dog eating shit if he let go of his hands.
She was scared silly and naturally didn't notice that she was being embraced by a grown man.
After a while, he heard a voice from above her head, "Liu Tian Xin, have you eaten enough tofu?"
Her mocking voice carried an ambiguous sound, causing Liu Tian Xin to recover from his shock.
