"Your Highness, this old servant isn't clear. The Emperor didn't say it, so this old servant doesn't dare to carelessly take the sacred will."
The corner of Eunuch Wang's mouth continued to hang up with his usual flattering smile, "However, this old servant has seen King Wei, the commander of the Imperial Guards, as well as the two officials from the Military Department and the Board of Punishments. They are all in the royal study, presumably because I have some important matters to discuss with the Prince."
The Eunuch Wang was clear about Yan Yuan's identity, and a little reminder at this moment could be considered as a small favor to the powerful Prince Jing like Yan Yuan. As long as the Duke accepted his favor, in the future, he might be able to get his help.
Yan Yuan naturally understood the Eunuch Wang's intention, and cupped his hands towards him. "I understand, Your Eunuch, please go back and report that I will be there shortly."
"Yes, Your Highness, your servant will take his leave!"
After Eunuch Wang left, Yan Yuan's face darkened!
After muttering to himself for a moment, he returned to the East Garden and changed into his palace attire. When Liu Ruo Qing was about to change her clothes, he walked up to her and said, "Stay in the Duke Palaces and don't go into the palace. I'll handle the situation with the Kaiser."
"How can that be? The Eunuch Wang has personally come to pass down the order, if I don't go, isn't that equivalent to disobeying the decree?"
Liu Ruo Qing knew Yan Yuan's thoughts, and rejected his suggestion without even thinking.
However, Yan Yuan still persisted, "Don't worry, just stay in the manor peacefully and don't disobey the decree. I will give Kaiser an explanation.
Yan Yuan's expression looked especially serious, especially the meaning behind his words, which made Liu Ruo Qing feel a bit scared.
Just as Yan Yuan was about to turn around and leave, Liu Ruo Qing walked forward and hugged her waist from behind.
"I know you want to protect me, but we don't know the purpose of the emperor's proclamation. If I were to go against his orders, it would just be making things worse for myself."
"I'm your wife, not a pet that doesn't know anything and doesn't care about anything. I'll let you take responsibility for everything, I want to advance and retreat with you."
Yan Yuan's body stiffened for a moment, he turned and embraced Liu Ruo Qing and looked down at her. Seeing her bright and clear eyes revealing her determination, Yan Yuan's heart softened.
"Have you forgotten? Back then, when I had saved Yun Jiao Rong several times, the emperor himself said that he owed me a favor, and he wouldn't make things too difficult for me. As long as you are here, what can the Emperor do to me? "
These last half words were actually a bit outrageous. To anyone who heard it, it would seem like the prince had the intention of challenging the Kaiser.
However, the resolute trust she had for Yan Yuan from time to time revealed from her words, made Yan Yuan smile.
He gently caressed her face and said, "Have you really made your decision?"
"Yes, I've decided."
Seeing Liu Ruo Qing's fearless face, Yan Yuan finally let go, "Fine then."
Liu Ruo Qing's face flushed with happiness. She gave Yan Yuan a kiss on the cheek and then blushed with her ears, "I'll go and change into my palace clothes first. Wait for me here."
"Alright."
The corner of Yan Yuan's mouth had a doting smile throughout. His eyes were filled with warmth and affection, causing anyone who looked at his to feel as if they would drown in it.
Liu Ruo Qing changed into a palace attire and the two of them sat in a carriage, heading towards the palace.
When the two entered the imperial study, they saw King Wei Wei Shao, the leader of the Imperial Guards Tong Shao, Xing Yao, the head of the Board of Justice, and a complete stranger that looked like a prison guard for Yan Yuan.
Yan Yuan's face darkened, he then bowed and said, "Greeting to the Emperor, I wonder why Your Majesty is summoning me and my wife to meet you?"
Normally, there wasn't a need for Yan Yuan to make such a great courtesy in front of Kaiser, but today, he seemed to be a little solemn and Kaiser could feel the displeasure in his tone.
After Yan Yuan, Liu Ruo Qing also bowed to Kaiser, no longer having the relaxed look she had in front of Kaiser.
After all, there were others present at the moment. They didn't want to do anything, so they wanted to place the blame for disrespecting His Majesty on these people.
"Did Imperial Uncle hear about the prisoner robbery that happened on the execution grounds today?"
Yan Shuo spoke with a normal tone, but it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
"This subject has heard, in the morning Commander Tong has already gone to King Jing Palace to meet this humble subject. This humble subject knows all that happened between the two."
When Yan Yuan spoke, he looked at Tong Shao without batting an eyelid.
Tong Shao's eyes did not avoid Yan Yuan, nor did he feel the slightest bit of guilt.
As the Commander of the Imperial Guard, he had the responsibility of protecting the safety of the Imperial City, so he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he had done.
Moreover, even if he wanted to help the Crown Princess Jing hide it, he still had the King Wei in the imperial study.
Yan Yuan withdrew his gaze from Tong Shao's face. From the moment Tong Shao went to the King Jing Palace to see him, he did not expect Tong Shao to hide anything for him.
He still had some understanding of Tong Shao's personality.
As long as he felt that what was right, it would be useless even if the emperor's father came over to plead with him.
To put it harshly, it was all a matter of doing things tirelessly and not knowing how to take turns.
"He told me about the matter of her going to the King Jing Palace to find uncle Huang."
Yan Shuo's hands carelessly played with the ink stone in his hands. His beautiful eyes slowly turned towards Liu Ruo Qing, and his appearance was still as gentle as before, without the slightest bit of arrogance.
Seeing him smile gently at Liu Ruo Qing, Liu Ruo Qing was not stingy and returned her smile with a smile.
"Tong Aimin said that the Ninth Aunt saved the bandit leader. Did he entrust Uncle Huang's wish to him?"
Liu Ruo Qing was startled, then she looked at Yan Yuan carefully.
Sh * t, before entering the palace, Yan Yuan did not manage to get a good line for her.
Fortunately the husband and wife were very close, Yan Yuan's hand, at an angle that no one else could see, secretly pinched Liu Ruo Qing's palm.
"Yes, your majesty." Liu Ruo Qing understood what she meant and nodded towards Kaiser, "Yes, Your Majesty, because of the previous incident where there was a prison break, Your Highness suspects that they will definitely go again this time to capture more prisoners. She wants this subject to keep an eye on them and see if she can find any clues regarding their identities from those people."
Liu Ruo Qing answered calmly, without showing any sign of panic on her face. Her magnanimous look made it impossible for people to doubt her.
Seeing her calm and composed appearance, Yan Yuan secretly smiled with satisfaction, but did not reveal any emotion on his face as he looked at Yan Shuo.
It was obvious that this couple was finding him a difficult problem …
Yan Shuo looked at the calm demeanor of Yan Yuan and his wife, and secretly cursed them in his heart.
"But I've heard that the bandit leader that you saved has already escaped. Where else do you want to find clues from?"
