C450 Your Majesty is still defending me

"The Emperor said Xiao Yue?"

Liu Ruo Qing's face, from start to finish, showed the usual innocence and calmness; no one could tell anything suspicious from her body.

Yes, all of these people were recruited by your servant girl, it just so happened that the people she invited, are all problematic, doesn't Ninth Aunt feel suspicious?

Yan Shuo took a sip of the tea in front of him nonchalantly, his eyebrows raised slightly.

Liu Ruo Qing didn't know whether Yan Shuo suspected her or not, but she had no choice but to brace herself and endure.

"When the Emperor asked me this, I don't know how to answer. She's my servant girl. If I were to say that she's suspicious, wouldn't that be dragging myself down with her?"

The expression on her face was still very calm, and there was even a hint of a satisfied smile on it. "If I were to say that it's impossible for her to do such a thing, would the emperor feel that I secretly want to put aside my own relationship?"

"…"

Yan Shuo was speechless, he could only stare blankly at Liu Ruo Qing's calm face, and after a long while, he sighed.

"Ninth Aunt, oh Ninth Aunt, with your mouth, I can't do anything to you!"

On Yan Shuo's face and tone, not a single trace of anger could be heard. Liu Ruo Qing loosened her clenched fists hidden in her sleeves.

Just now, it was good for her to appear calm on the surface, but she was actually very worried in her heart.

As long as Kaiser did not side with her and found a reason to punish her, Yan Yuan would definitely argue with her.

Liu Ruo Qing also did not remember when she was no longer worried about her life, and only cared about Yan Yuan's everything.

She faced the Kaiser, raised her bright and beautiful smile, and said: "Isn't it because the emperor is still standing on my side, the Ninth Aunt, that I dare to be so presumptuous?"

Liu Ruo Qing wisely opened her mouth to pat Kaiser's ass, and Kaiser immediately laughed out loud.

Pointing at Liu Ruo Qing and laughing for a while, he opened his mouth to remind her: "That servant girl of yours, you should keep a close eye on her. Just because we don't investigate deeper today doesn't mean that others won't, but at that time, don't blame us for not helping you."

Yan Shuo's words caused Liu Ruo Qing to be shocked. She looked at Kaiser in shock and was unable to say anything for a long while.

Yan Shuo did not speak further, and said: "Kaiser's health is not good, we will not keep you guys, you guys can go back to the manor."

Liu Ruo Qing was still staring at Kaiser in shock. Only when someone held her hand tightly did she regain her senses.

"This humble official will take his leave."

It was rare for Yan Yuan to be so serious in front of Kaiser, and at the moment, he must have seen through Yan Shuo's intentions in defending Liu Ruo Qing, which was why he bowed so seriously.

At the same time, he also understood the meaning of the latter half of the sentence Kaiser had said to Liu Ruo Qing.

The reason why Kaiser could protect her without batting an eyelid was because she did not have any concrete evidence against her. However, the people below had the intention to investigate Xiao Yue thoroughly, at that time, in order to take into account the laws of Easternum, even if Kaiser wanted to protect Liu Ruo Qing, it would be impossible.

After exiting the palace, only then did Liu Ruo Qing regain her senses. After getting on the carriage, she said in disbelief, "Is the emperor trying to beat around the bush to protect me?"

On her face, there was a trace of happiness. Forget about everything else, at least let Liu Ruo Qing know that Kaiser was secretly on her side.

As long as she didn't do anything too excessive or against the rules of the court, she was basically safe.

Her bright eyes looked at Yan Yuan, her face brimming with joy.

"Don't be happy too early, Kaiser reminded you about Xiao Yue. This means that he is the same as King Wei and has her suspicions about Xiao Yue, but he has the intention to protect you right now and doesn't want to pursue this issue too deeply, so you must find Xiao Yue now."

Liu Ruo Qing nodded seriously, her smile still on her face, "En, I understand."

Liu Ruo Qing held onto Yan Yuan's arm, and leaned sideways onto Yan Yuan's arm, saying, "Look, the emperor will still stand on our side. You don't have to worry about me."

Yan Yuan looked at her tiny face in satisfaction, and didn't say anything as he gently stroked her soft black hair.

Lu Yuan He had told him before that he wouldn't be able to figure out the remaining poison in his body within a year or so.

Although the violent outburst of the poison was suppressed, the chest would often ache faintly because the poison was circulating in the heart.

Because he could still endure this pain, no one around him realized it.

Liu Ruo Qing rested against his arm for a while, then felt her heart suffocating, a little disgusted.

She sat up straight, and the feeling of nausea in her chest became more intense.

She clutched her chest with an ugly expression on her face.

Yan Yuan noticed her change in expression, and his expression changed. He extended his hand to support her body, but she frowned and pushed him to his side, then shouted to the coachman: "Stop the carriage."

Without waiting for the carriage to stop, Liu Ruo Qing hastily got down from the carriage and rushed to the side of the road.

Yan Yuan's heart tensed up, he immediately chased after Liu Ruo Qing. Seeing her standing by the side of the road with his hands covering her chest, trying to vomit, his face extremely pale.

"What's wrong, Qing Er?"

Yan Yuan saw that Liu Ruo Qing's face was extremely ugly and her thick eyebrows knitted together nervously.

"I …"

She started to speak, but the nausea rushed back into her stomach.

Originally, Liu Ruo Qing did not eat much in a few days.

She felt sick, and her face was even uglier than before.

Her eyelashes were still covered in a few drops of mist.

Yan Yuan nervously patted her back, waiting for her to stop his nausea and asked again, "What's wrong, why are you vomiting so much?"

"I …"

Liu Ruo Qing looked at him, and saw the worry and nervousness in his eyes, and felt his heart warm up.

His clear eyes only reflected his pale face, but it was filled with a happy smile.

Not caring about the fact that this was a crowded street, she reached out and wrapped her arms around Yan Yuan's waist, sticking close to his body and said coquettishly: "Return to the Duke Palaces first, then I'll tell you."

Yan Yuan still looked at her worriedly. Although her face was a little pale, there was still a faint smile in his eyes, as if he was really happy.

Although he was worried, he felt slightly relieved. Seeing how mysterious she was, he couldn't do anything to her.

He reached out his hand to rub the tip of her nose gently and said, "You're still acting like this and still dare to pretend to be mysterious in front of me."

He helped her into the carriage and hooked his cold fingers.: "I will punish you well if you dissatisfied me with what you have told me after we go back."

"Don't worry, I'll make sure to make you happy so that you won't be able to fall asleep for a few days and nights."

Liu Ruo Qing buried her face in Yan Yuan's embrace, feeling his steady heartbeat, she secretly smiled.
