"The hidden pillars that you left in Easternum have all been pulled out by us, so … Maybe if you die, even the Divine Martial Emperor would not know where you went. "
"You …"
The only remaining light in Yun Ai's eyes also disappeared.
Yan Jue didn't have the mood to chat with her anymore. When he got up and left the dungeon, he said to the person guarding outside: "Wake her up."
Two days later, the news of Yun Ai's death came from the dungeon. This news did not cause much of a stir, and quickly calmed down.
Liu Tian Xin had been recuperating in Prince Lu's Mansion for a few days now because they were all external injuries, but her internal organs were not injured.
The room she was in didn't look like the one she used to live in, but rather more like the main courtyard.
During the period of recuperation, the servants only left the medicine outside and went out. The only person she could see was Yan Jue.
That was because the human skin mask was gone. Even if her injuries were healed now, she still wouldn't dare to easily leave the screen. She didn't want to attract unnecessary trouble when the time came.
When Yan Jue came in, she was sitting on the bed, staring at the vertical screen blankly.
"What's so good about this screen? Why have you been staring at it for so long?"
Yan Jue's voice broke her train of thoughts, and at the same time, she withdrew her gaze from the screen.
She looked at Yan Jue with a faint sense of alienation in her eyes. Unlike the time she was with Yan Jue, she was not as carefree as she was now, as if she was the owner of this palace.
Now, after experiencing this event, she had a clearer understanding of her own situation. If she wasn't going to die, she would cooperate well with Liu Ruo Qing and protect him for life.
Yan Jue saw that her eyes were still and calm, unlike the previous times where she loved to bicker with him privately. He was not used to this kind of calm and obedient Liu Tian Xin.
"Does it still hurt?"
He sat down beside her quite naturally, as if this was the way they were supposed to get along.
Liu Tian Xin shook her head, and gave him a faint smile, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
"Then do you want to go out for a walk? You've been in your room for a long time."
He looked at the weather outside. The sun was warm and it was time to go for a walk.
One month ago, after Liu Tian Xin disappeared, he was so depressed that she did not have the slightest bit of life left in him.
Now that she had found him, his whole being seemed to have relaxed in an instant, and his vitality returned to its former vigor.
Hearing Yan Jue's suggestion, Liu Tian Xin was stunned, she looked at Yan Jue who did not look like he was joking, and remained silent for a few seconds, considering whether she should remind him, she was still missing a face.
Yan Jue didn't know what she was thinking in her heart, but seeing her quietly looking at him like that, Yan Jue felt a little unnatural.
"Why are you looking at me like this? Don't you want to go out and play? "I've been cooped up at home for many days already. It's time to go out and bask in the sun."
He reached out his hand and patted her head in a very intimate manner.
Before this, Yan Jue was the same as well. Liu Tian Xin had never felt that something was amiss, but this time, she subconsciously dodged his movements.
Yan Jue did not notice, and only waited for her reply.
He saw her gaze and looked at the weather outside. After a moment of silence, he asked as if he had made up his mind: "Are you ready for the new human skin mask?"
Yan Jue was startled, his expression was unnatural, but when Liu Tian Xin said these words, her attitude was extremely calm and natural, without even a hint of anger. It was just like what he had forced her to do in the past, was what she should have endured.
Facing her calm and collected gaze, Yan Jue's heart tightened and he felt that he had let her down.
He even thought, why would he let such a little girl suffer for the sake of Ninth Brother and the others? Was it only because she escaped the marriage?
But if she didn't escape, how could Ol 'Nine and Ruo Qing have become husband and wife?
Seeing him not saying a word, Liu Tian Xin felt a bit of guilt in her eyes, but she felt that it was a bit sarcastic.
But, she didn't blame Yan Jue like before, because she was the one who escaped the marriage. In the end, it was her who caused Liu Ruo Qing to live in such fear.
Seeing that Yan Jue was still in a daze, she laughed indifferently and said: "Didn't you want to take me out? I can't go out with that face, can I? "
Yan Jue was pulled back from his stupor by her voice, his brows knitted slightly, yet he could not utter a single word.
Even though he felt that he shouldn't keep feeling wronged to Liu Tian Xin, he couldn't be impulsive to the point of exposing Liu Tian Xin's face to the crowd.
At the very least, he had to think of a foolproof plan.
Liu Tian Xin saw that Yan Jue was frowning and did not say a word, he looked extremely distressed.
After this incident, perhaps it was because she had walked through the gates of hell for a while that she felt that there were many things that were less important. There were some things that she didn't need to force or care about, so she didn't feel that uncomfortable.
"I don't really want to go out for a walk. I don't want to stay in my room either. I want to rest a bit longer."
She spoke very calmly, at the same time, she had also pulled Yan Jue's thoughts back.
He had a nagging feeling that something was wrong with Liu Tian Xin, but he couldn't pinpoint where it was wrong. He only thought that she was still in fear after being tortured by Yun Ai, that she would become so silent.
"Then rest well, I'll accompany you out to play in two days."
"Alright."
When Yan Jue stood up and walked out, he still looked back at her worriedly.
Liu Ruo Qing had already been pregnant for more than seven months and there were only two more months until he would have to give birth. When his body became heavy enough that he could breathe after walking a few steps, Yan Yuan would not allow Liu Ruo Qing to go out and allow her to stay in the Duke Palaces every day.
As for Yan Yuan himself, he settled the matters of the imperial court everyday and rushed back to the residence to accompany her.
After taking care of the Divine Martial Realm Yun Ai, Liu Tian Xin was saved once again.
"Tomorrow is the first day of the Festival, last year we were in Huaxi Town and we didn't even go out to play, tomorrow we will go out to play, alright?"
After Liu Ruo Qing drank the tonic that was brought over, he laid in front of Yan Yuan and said coquettishly.
Recently, Yan Yuan had not even allowed her to come out. No matter what she said, Yan Yuan did not agree, and this made her angry to the point that she did not want to bother with him. However, when he thought about it, he did it for her good, and he could only choose to forgive him.
But then, he shook his head and rejected her. "There are too many people who came out to play during the first day of the new year, your body is heavy, it is very dangerous to be squeezed around by others. Be good, after you finish producing all of it, it will be spring then, and in March and April, the weather will be just right, so I will bring you to Yangzhou to play for a bit, okay?"
