C452 Necessity of staying in the East

"Sigh …"

A helpless sigh resounded in Liu Ruo Qing's ears, "As expected, with this kid, I won't be able to sleep for a few days and nights."

He thought back to what Liu Ruo Qing had told him the other day, that the things she told him would cause him to be unable to sleep for a few days and nights. That's right.

When Liu Ruo Qing heard his complaint, which did not conform to his cold personality, she couldn't help but let out a laugh.

Fortunately, she was not able to sleep at the moment, so she leaned on Yan Yuan's arms, and asked: "Is there any news from Xiao Yue?"

"I'm still checking. Eighth Bro, go and ask if there's any news tomorrow."

"Yan Yuan's voice turned colder," "and his guards have both moved out, and we haven't found her whereabouts. I'm guessing that there's definitely an expert supporting Xiao Yue from behind, and this person's identity is definitely not simple.

Hearing this, Liu Ruo Qing nodded her head in agreement.

The King Jing Palace and the Prince Lu's Mansion's secret guards were not ordinary people. If they could not find Xiao Yue even after joining hands, it meant that the other party had a strong hatred towards her and wanted to help her.

But who could this person be?!

Liu Ruo Qing thought.

With such a person by Xiao Yue's side, if she had helped Xiao Yue break into the forbidden palace to save the General Chu back then, it probably wouldn't have been so difficult.

But just why did they save Xiao Yue in front of the Imperial Guard this time?

Just as she was deep in her thoughts, she heard Yan Yuan's low voice, interrupting her, "Don't think about it, leave Xiao Yue's matters to me.

Liu Ruo Qing did not insist. With Yan Yuan and Eighth Brother working on this, there should not be a problem.

"When we find Xiao Yue, tell them not to hurt her no matter what."

Liu Ruo Qing reminded her repeatedly.

"Rest assured, hurry up and sleep. You're not allowed to talk anymore."

"Are you still hot?"

"He still dares to be so talkative."

As the night deepened, the couple slept in each other's arms.

On the other side, after Xiao Yue was taken away by Rong Qi, she was extremely nervous in her heart.

If she went back, Yan Yuan would definitely find out about her. If she didn't go back, her sudden disappearance would cause suspicion from the Imperial Guards.

If the matter were to go to the Kaiser, it would be troublesome.

This matter was caused by her, she could not implicate the Lady Liu.

After some thought, she walked out of the room.

Seeing Rong Qi standing in the hallway outside the door, with his tall and slender body leaning against a pillar, his deep eyes carried a sense of sullenness.

"Where are you going?"

"I want to return to King Jing Palace."

As Xiao Yue said that, she walked out, but was stopped by Rong Qi, "You're courting death! You clearly know that Yan Yuan and Yan Jue's men are looking for you, are you still going back to throw your life away? "

Xiao Yue did not argue with Rong Qi right now. After taking a deep breath, she said calmly: "I've thought about it for two days, if I go back, nothing will happen to me."

Afraid that Rong Qi didn't want to let her go, she patiently sat down beside Rong Qi, and explained: "I've thought it over, Yan Yuan definitely knows that it was me, and that as long as he protects Crown Princess Jing with all his heart, he would definitely help me hide it. If he sends the hidden guards to look for me now, he definitely wants to find me before I'm found by the forbidden forces, so long as I'm in his hands, Crown Princess Jing will not be too passive. Don't worry, Yan Yuan will not want anything to happen to me like me."

She looked at Rong Qi with her bright eyes, her gaze filled with determination.

Seeing that she had a rare moment of calm speaking with him, Rong Qi knew that she didn't want to make him unhappy, and at the moment, he didn't want to make her angry either.

"Are you sure that Yan Yuan will not touch you in order to protect King Jing Palace?"

They were the descendants of influential families and nobles. To them, women were the last thing on their minds.

Furthermore, with Yan Yuan's high and mighty identity, what kind of woman didn't he want? Why would he use his as a cover for the Crown Princess Jing?

Xiao Yue naturally saw the thoughts in Rong Qi's eyes.

It was understandable that Rong Qi would think this way.

He had never seen how Yan Yuan treated Liu Ruo Qing, but she knew it.

Back then when she broke into the dungeon to save the General Chu, it was because Yan Yuan recognized him that he let them go.

In addition, Yan Yuan was poisoned later on and had not been cured even now. This was also because he had saved Liu Ruo Qing.

Therefore, she was very sure that Yan Yuan would definitely help her cover things up for Liu Ruo Qing.

Yan Yuan, although he has his principles and bottom lines in what he does, did not.

However, he had no bottom line or principle in defending his wangfei.

To put it more seriously, if Kaiser really attacked Liu Ruo Qing, Yan Yuan would be able to drag him down from the dragon throne without any limits.

Just these words, Xiao Yue did not say anything to Rong Qi.

"Yes, I'm sure."

Xiao Yue nodded at Rong Qi, "If I go back to Liu Ruo Qing's side, it will definitely be safer than letting the Imperial Guard find me."

Hearing this, Rong Qi's eyes became gloomy, a little disappointed. "Do you think it's not safe to be by my side?"

His tone revealed a faint disappointment, causing Xiao Yue's heart to tighten.

After all, this time, if not for him, she might have been captured by the Imperial Guards.

At that time, if Easternum knew her identity, her Beitang Clan would be in big trouble.

Actually, at that time, Rong Qi could have just stood by and watched without doing anything, reaping the rewards. However, in the end, he had still saved her and solved her crisis.

"No, I just don't want to trouble you. There are some things that I have to face by myself."

Xiao Yue lowered her eyes and said softly.

Rong Qi was unable to see her expression clearly.

The entire corridor was filled with the sound of a gentle breeze blowing. It was depressingly quiet.

After a while, Rong Qi was the first to make a move.

"Do you still think it's necessary for you to stay in the Easternum?"

Rong Qi's question made Xiao Yue's expression change drastically.

"When you return to Crown Princess Jing's side, Yan Yuan would let you go? Do you think you still have a chance to obtain the《 Sky Array》? "

Every word that Rong Qi said had struck right into Xiao Yue's heart.

"If you take another step back, even if you really get your hands on the《 Heaven Diagram Array》, do you think you have the confidence to deal with the Rong family?"

Xiao Yue still did not speak, she knew that although Rong Qi's words were not nice, it was the truth.

From the very beginning, Rong Qi had already known that her goal in coming to the Easternum was to get the [Sky Array], so even if she really could steal the [Sky Array] from the Easternum's palace, he couldn't escape Rong Qi's eyes and successfully take it back.
