C495 495 Minister of Justice Killed

Liu Ruo Qing raised her eyebrow, she understood the meaning behind Yan Yuan's words, but she was a little surprised at his concession this time, "Why do you not intend to be like before and kill Princess Tian Xin?"

Yan Yuan pinched the center of his brows, seeing her smiling at him, he extended his hand out and scratched her nose: "If I really plan on doing this, how can you and Eighth Emperor let me go?"

Liu Ruo Qing was amused by his words, and then she heard Yan Yuan continue: "Moreover, Liu Tian Xin's face has already been exposed, if she were to die for no reason, it would attract suspicions from others."

Liu Ruo Qing immediately understood his words, and nodded in agreement, "Indeed, if a girl who looks exactly like Crown Princess Jing were suddenly killed, people would definitely suspect me."

She sat down next to Yan Yuan, and then thought of something, and laughed lightly: "However, after this happened, I would feel much more at ease. Sooner or later, I would have to face things that I will have to face.

Yan Yuan knew that although she said it like that, he still felt a bit of worry in his heart. Especially since their child was about to be born, and the two of them had become even more worried.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

Yan Yuan had said these words many times, but every time, it would always make Liu Ruo Qing feel at ease. As long as he met's unwavering gaze, it was as if everything could be easily solved with his presence.

"Right now, the murder of the Board of Justice's president has occurred in the imperial court. No one in the imperial court will keep an eye on me. We still have a long way to go before we plan things."

Liu Ruo Qing nodded, and when she thought of the Board of Justice's letter, she thought of that seemingly secretive official she had seen in the imperial study room that day, and asked: "Then why was Master Xing killed by someone for no reason at all?"

"The Ministry of Justice is dealing with important cases all over the country. Those criminals have many forces backing them. It's hard to say whether or not they will provoke some enemies. I just didn't expect that someone would dare to openly kill people under the watch of the Son of Heaven."

"I heard eighth brother was there. What did he say?"

"The assassin's attack and retreat are both well-trained, decisive, and resolute. Such mobility, they are like a death soldier."

"Death warrior?"

Liu Ruo Qing was startled, "Those who can raise Death Soldiers are not normal people, you guys have to be careful, maybe the mastermind is in the capital."

Yan Yuan smiled and nodded, "Seeing you stay at home everyday, you sure know a lot of things."

"Isn't that because you won't let me out? "If you don't let me go out, won't you let me use my brain more when I'm bored?"

Liu Ruo Qing pouted her lips, she could not wait any longer and hoped that the child in her womb would fall to the ground as soon as possible.

When Yan Yuan heard her complaints, he only reached out and gently hugged her in his arms, and said: "Doctor Lu said that the last two months are more important than the previous three months. You should obediently endure for a few more months."

Liu Ruo Qing could only let out a long sigh. Looking at Yan Yuan, she wrapped his arms around his neck and said: "Alright, I'll listen to you."

"That's more like it."

As for Liu Tian Xin, ever since last night's incident, she had been living in the best inn in Jindu under Yan Jue's arrangements. Even though she didn't enjoy the treatment of the Duke Palaces, for Liu Tian Xin, it was much more comfortable.

At least, she wouldn't have to live under someone else's nose with a face that wasn't her own.

As for how to handle the matter this time, she did not care about it, it was Yan Yuan and Yan Jue's business, no matter what requests they had, she would cooperate.

When she thought back to last night, when he rarely brought her out to play, although she didn't look much on the surface, she was still happy. But other than happiness, she was also more depressed.

Walking alone on the street, she unknowingly strolled to the moat. She thought for a moment, then walked to the stone steps by the river and sat down.

Floating on the river were some lamps that had yet to sink. Thinking about the one Yan Jue wrote his name on, she was a little curious in her heart, but felt that the answer to his question was already known in her heart, so he wasn't really that curious.

He had done so much for Liu Ruo Qing.

At her feet was a lamp. In the middle of the lamp was a leaf, which blocked the name written on it.

She was curious and wanted to take the leaf away to see what was written on it, but she felt that it belonged to someone else. She couldn't bear to see it like this, so she took her hand back.

He patted his skirt and left the moat. The moment she left the river, the leaf on the lotus lamp was swept away by the wind, revealing a name — —

Liu Tian Xin.

Because his face was seen by a lot of people, Yan Jue did not let her intentionally avoid his gaze, and made it easier for his to not arouse suspicion.

Therefore, when she strolled along the street, she didn't try to avoid anything.

Because the matter of the Board of Justice's President being unknown and unknown being killed had caused a lot of commotion in the court, even the marble temple was unable to find any clues, causing the officials in the court to become uneasy.

He was afraid that he would accidentally offend the mastermind behind the plot and get killed by those death soldiers.

Liu Ruo Qing knew that the one who kept the death soldiers was not a normal family, how could the officials in the imperial court not know, maybe even some officials in the imperial court. In that moment, everyone was panicking, and naturally no one paid attention to the girl who looked like Crown Princess Jing.

After more than ten days had passed, other than the matter of the Board of Justice's president being killed, the capital was peaceful and quiet. Liu Ruo Qing was still peacefully recuperating in her residence.

On this day, Yan Jue came to find Liu Tian Xin as usual. He seemed to be accustomed to Liu Tian Xin's stay in the Duke Palaces, so ever since she had left the Duke Palaces, his heart had been empty. Sometimes, when he was in the imperial court, or when he had finished his business in the imperial court, he would run over to the inn Liu Tian Xin stayed in.

"Are you used to living here?"

Yan Jue sat opposite to her and personally poured a cup of tea for her and asked.

"Even the biggest and most luxurious inn in the capital is not worse than the Prince Lu's Mansion.

Liu Tian Xin laughed and answered, only to see Yan Jue feigning displeasure on his face, looking at her, he said: "I told you, you are an unscrupulous ingrate, can my Prince Lu's Mansion's food compare to a mere inn?"

"I didn't see how good your food was either."

"Whatever This King usually eats, you eat. How dare you complain?"
