C507 507 insisted on leaving Beijing

Yan Shuo's answer made Liu Ruo Qing rejoice, "Since we've won, can we return to the capital?"

"Of course, the army has already started returning to the capital. They will be back in half a month."

The joy on Liu Ruo Qing's face became even more obvious, but when she wanted to ask something else, he saw that Yan Shuo's expression was ugly and his brows were knitted tightly together. It was just that she had been immersed in the joyous news that Yan Yuan was returning to the capital, so he did not notice it.

His heartbeat quickened due to unease, "Did something happen to Yan Yuan?"

Yan Shuo's gaze did not avoid Liu Ruo Qing as he nodded his head and passed the report in his hands over to Liu Ruo Qing, "The northwest border is hard to defend and defense is hard to attack. Just the city guards alone have more than fifty thousand troops, and the one hundred and fifty thousand troops are still stationed behind on the mountain at the northwest border.

Yan Shuo saw that Liu Ruo Qing was stunned and did not say a word, only staring at the contents of the report.

"Ninth Aunt …"

Yan Shuo called out to her and only then did she regain his senses. Looking at Yan Shuo, he said, "The report only said that he was heavily injured and unconscious.

"Don't worry for now, Vice General Chen has already led troops to escort Uncle Huang back to the imperial court. With the army doctor by her side, he will be fine. The specific circumstances will only be known after Uncle Huang enters the capital."

Liu Ruo Qing was unable to listen to Yan Shuo's words, her mind was filled with the news of Yan Yuan being injured and unconscious. He still had remaining poison on his body and if he were to be seriously injured he would not dare to think whether or not he could survive.

In the end, she didn't know how she managed to leave the Imperial Palace, but her entire mind was a mess.

There was still half a month until she could return to the capital. How could she wait that long?

She still remembered the day when he led his men out of the city and told her to wait for his return. But now, she felt that she wouldn't be able to wait for him.

The more he thought about it, the more anxious Liu Ruo Qing became. After returning to the Duke Palaces that afternoon, he packed his luggage and told the butler that he was going to leave King Jing Palace with Jin Shu.

Along the road in the northwest direction, she could not sit in the capital and wait for news from Yan Yuan.

Just as he left the city gates, he met Mo Rong Tian who had returned from outside the city.

Mo Rong Tian also didn't expect to meet Liu Ruo Qing here. With a surprised look in his eyes, he walked in front of her and said, "Where are you in such a hurry to go? "You don't look too good."

The expression in Mo Rong Tian's eyes as he looked at Liu Ruo Qing was a little complicated. He wanted to get close to her, yet seemed to use all his strength to suppress that intimacy.

After hearing Mo Rong Tian's question, Liu Ruo Qing's expression became even more unsightly, and his eyes became slightly red.

With the friendship of Mo Rong Tian risking his life to save her and adding that he was now considered to be her junior brother, Liu Ruo Qing didn't want to hide anything from him. He could only endure the tears in his eyes, and spoke to Mo Rong Tian with difficulty: "Yan Yuan is heavily injured, I'm going to look for him."

"You want to go to the northwest direction to find him?"

Mo Rong Tian's expression changed as his gaze grew darker, "The environment in the northwest is extremely vile, and there are also many refugees and bandits. It's too dangerous for you to go alone to find the prince."

"It won't, Jin Shu will accompany me, she was arranged for me by Yan Yuan, her martial arts are very good, nothing will happen to her."

Liu Ruo Qing thought for a while, then said to Mo Rong Tian: "Don't tell this to Master, I'm afraid that the elder will worry about me."

Mo Rong Tian frowned the entire time. She pursed her lips and muttered to herself irresolutely for a moment before saying, "I'll go with you."

"No need."

Liu Ruo Qing rejected her without even thinking, "This is my own problem, how can I trouble you? You almost died just to save me previously, you should stay in the capital to take care of my master, I will be back very soon."

Mo Rong Tian saw the determination in her eyes and opened his mouth, but he did not insist. He only extended his hand toward her shoulder, and his hand seemed to hesitate for a moment.

Liu Ruo Qing didn't notice the look in his eyes and nodded, "Mn, I will, help me take good care of Master."

"En, don't worry. Master has me. Take care of yourself."

Liu Ruo Qing nodded, then said to Jin Shu: "Let's go."

On the other side of the palace, when the empress dowager waited for Uncle Xu to send the young son to the palace, she found out that Liu Ruo Qing had headed northwest without saying a word.

"Tian Xin is too rash, even if she's worried about Ol 'Nine, she can't go alone, what if she encounters something along the way?"

After the empress dowager ordered someone to bring down the wet nurse who was hugging young son, she said to the servant girl beside her, "Dong Xue, go to the Chengde Palace and tell the emperor to send a few guards out to protect the Crown Princess Jing."

"Yes."

The empress dowager paced back and forth anxiously. She didn't know if Ol 'Nine was dead or alive, what if Tian Xin was in trouble?

Liu Ruo Qing was originally one of the secret guards under Yan Yuan's command, and was now in charge of protecting Liu Ruo Qing's safety.

As a dark guard, it wasn't hard for her to scout and scout, let alone ask her to lead the way to the northwest.

With Jin Shu here, Liu Ruo Qing's journey could be considered to be extremely smooth.

"Princess, your servant has investigated the whereabouts of the princes. They will arrive in two days. If we continue on our journey, we will meet with the prince's army in another day."

The closer they got to Yan Yuan, the more nervous Liu Ruo Qing became in her heart. In the past, she had always thought that in her entire life, aside from the old man, she wouldn't have anything to worry about anymore.

"In other words, if we travel through the night, we will be able to reunite with the Prince and the others by noon tomorrow?"

"Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to meet the Prince and the others by noon tomorrow."

The long and strict training caused Jin Shu to have a military aura that was neither servile nor overbearing when she spoke. Even though she was Liu Ruo Qing's personal servant, she had not changed much.

Only, when Jin Shu saw that she did not stop to rest and had wholeheartedly looked forward to going to find Yan Yuan, she couldn't help but admire his in her heart.

As one of the top ten spies in the dark guard, he was actually sent by the prince to serve a woman. In the beginning, she was still very unconvinced and felt that he had overestimated himself.

So even if the prince ordered her to take care of the princess and protect her well, she hadn't really put her heart into it.

But after interacting with the princess for a long time, she discovered that even though she was living a leisurely life with the princess, it was completely different from the life she had in the past.
