"They actually released Feng Yi?"
When Yun Ai found out that Yan Yuan had been beaten up badly, she immediately let her go.
Originally, when she planned to give that note to Feng Yi, she wanted to test out her attitude toward this couple.
If they had a guilty conscience, they would definitely imprison Feng Yi and even kill him to silence him.
Was it because Liu Tian Xin's identity was not suspicious, or because they had other plans?
After thinking about it, Yun Ai still felt that this matter was not that simple.
For no reason, Yan Jue found a woman who could stay in the Duke Palaces for no reason. However, this woman had an ordinary appearance, so she could not match up to Yan Jue at all.
"It looks like... I still have to start from that woman in the Prince Lu's Mansion. "
Liu Ruo Qing sent a trip to the Shen Mansion to invite Shen Qin here. Because Shen Qin often came to the Duke Palaces to play with Liu Ruo Qing, no one would pay attention to her whereabouts.
After Shen Qin arrived, Liu Ruo Qing then explained to her in detail about what happened to Yun Ai.
"So …" Your Highness, are you suspecting that the living room might be the location where Shen Wu Yun Ai would contact her subordinates? "
"Right."
Liu Ruo Qing nodded, she did not hide anything from Shen Qin, and continued: "The people under the King, have secretly investigated the Shanshan Hospital, and did not find any suspicious areas, but as you know, the person called Shen Wu Yun Ai, is not an easy person to deal with, she will not go there for no reason."
Shen Qin agreed and nodded his head, then heard Liu Ruo Qing continuing: "Your highness originally wanted to ask the Master Shen a question about some of the details, but, the Duke's Palace or your highness's side, could also have a hidden pillar that Yun Ai had arranged, so I could only ask the Master Shen a few words through you."
"Sure, I will ask my father about this. What exactly does Your Highness want to know?"
Liu Ruo Qing moved closer to Shen Qin, and after she explained everything in detail, Shen Qin sat in the Duke Palace for another hour before leaving.
In the evening, Yan Yuan took care of the matters at hand and returned to the Eastern Courtyard once again. Liu Ruo Qing coincidentally woke up from her nap.
Ever since she became pregnant, she had been particularly addicted to sleep. Originally, taking a nap for two hours was enough, but after she became pregnant, she would have to sleep until dusk or until dinner time before waking up.
"Getting out of bed when it's time for lunch, do you really think you're raising a pig after eating and sleeping?"
Yan Yuan smiled as he walked over and helped her tie the waist seal.
Liu Ruo Qing did not like having servants to serve her. In the past, she was not used to the clothes of the ancient people, so she was helped to wear it by Xiao Yue a few times.
"What?" Do you dislike me being like a pig now? "
Liu Ruo Qing raised her brows as she looked at her. Both of her hands were slightly raised, allowing her to tie the waist seal with Yan Yuan's hands.
"If you don't mind, you'll only be blessed if you act like a pig."
Yan Yuan smiled and tied the belt around his waist. He bent down, and whispered into Liu Ruo Qing's ear, gently nibbling on it, "Wangfu."
Liu Ruo Qing glared at her. Even if she could not remember the number of times she had done this, Liu Ruo Qing would still make her ears turn red from her teasing.
"It doesn't matter if you say I'm like a pig, I just happen to have a reason to eat more."
With Yan Yuan's help, he put on the outer robe, held Yan Yuan's arm and said: "This morning, I said that I would like to go to eighth brother's mansion to eat a hot pot. Can we go now?"
"The carriage is ready for you. Let's go."
Prince Lu's Mansion was not far from the King Jing Palace. Because of the cold weather, Yan Yuan prepared a carriage for Liu Ruo Qing.
When the carriage arrived at the manor, it was still the steward who had come to greet them.
"My prince is in his study, I would like to invite Prince Jing and Princess Wangfei to sit for a while. This old servant will go find Prince right now."
Yan Yuan had played quite closely with Yan Jue since young, so he was not unfamiliar with the Prince Lu's Mansion. After the butler went to find Yan Jue, he immediately brought Liu Ruo Qing to the backyard.
Not long after, Yan Jue arrived. Seeing them, his face looked a little strange, but was also a little tired. "You guys came really early.
Although Yan Jue's words were spoken as usual, but Liu Ruo Qing and Yan Yuan noticed that something was amiss.
Seeing his gloomy expression, he seemed to be in a bad mood.
The two of them thought back to the night of the empress dowager's birthday banquet. Yan Jue also seemed to be in a bad mood, as if he had something on his mind.
The couple looked at each other, and Yan Yuan spoke first: "What's wrong? We just had a hot pot together, and with your current look, does your Prince Lu's Mansion really need a lot of silver recently? "
Yan Jue didn't seem to be in the mood to joke around, he only pursed his lips and said: "Sit down first, the ingredients are almost ready."
Seeing that Yan Jue was unwilling to say more, the two of them looked at each other again and sat down.
"What about the girl? "Why isn't he here?"
Liu Ruo Qing spoke in a seemingly casual manner. Seeing Yan Jue's hand that was pouring wine, she paused for a moment, then laughed: "Speaking of which, she is just a prisoner under house arrest, if I am not happy, she will be served with me. If not, she is just a prisoner, why do I have to take care of her every time."
Liu Ruo Qing was startled, from Yan Jue's words, she heard that something was amiss.
"Eighth brother is arguing with Miss Gong?"
Yan Jue raised his wine cup, took a sip, then looked towards Liu Ruo Qing and smiled again, "It's just a mere prisoner, is it even worth quarreling with this king?"
Liu Ruo Qing could hear the depression in Yan Jue's tone, and did not ask further.
"Relax, Ruo Qing, this duke brought her back to the capital. If her existence threatened you, this duke wouldn't need Ol 'Nine to personally take care of her, and wouldn't cause you any trouble."
"No, eighth brother, that's not what I meant, I … "My lady."
When Liu Ruo Qing saw Liu Tian Xin standing at the entrance of the courtyard, her face immediately changed.
Because the sky had turned a little dark, Liu Ruo Qing could not see Liu Tian Xin's face clearly. However, she must have had a very bad complexion.
Regardless if there was anything else between Eighth Brother and Liu Tian Xin, Eighth Brother's words just now were indeed very hurtful.
The two of them had been together for nearly half a year anyway. Even if it was just a normal friend, Eighth Brother's words just now were very hurtful. Furthermore, she could sense that there was some other subtle relationship between Eighth Brother and Liu Tian Xin.
In the end, other than the matter of Liu Tian Xin escaping the marriage and being forced to marry Yan Yuan, she did not owe him anything.
In the past few months, she had lived in Prince Lu's Mansion with a completely unfamiliar face without any freedom.
Therefore, what Yan Jue had just said had clearly hurt Liu Tian Xin. In Liu Ruo Qing's heart, she was somewhat apologetic.
Yan Jue paused in his drinking once again, and an undetectable strange expression flashed across his face.
