Yan Heng raised his eyes and met Yan Yuan's cold and forceful gaze, causing him to unconsciously take a step back.
"Fourth Brother has been rather busy lately. Not only do you have to think of ways to save that useless nephew of yours, but you also have to take care of all the other matters of this king."
Facing Yan Yuan's cold gaze, Yan Heng's gaze shifted a little, as though his fear of Yan Yuan, this little brother, was innate. Even though this little brother was obviously the youngest, he still felt fear from the bottom of his heart.
The corner of his mouth twitched, and on his face there was a trace of malicious intent, he looked at Yan Yuan and said: "Ninth brother misunderstood Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother only hopes that Ninth brother was tricked by an unknown woman, your identity is not ordinary, if you are tricked by someone, what will happen? Fourth Brother is also worried about you. "
Yan Yuan did not care about Yan Heng's noble words, his gaze stopped on her for a moment, then walked to Liu Ruo Qing's side, and deeply forgot about her.
Seeing that Yan Yuan had arrived, Liu Ruo Qing's originally relaxed state of mind became nervous because of his appearance.
Originally, she didn't want Yan Yuan to come, because she didn't want him to clash with the Kaiser over her matter. Long before she came, she was already in a situation like this, and was lucky that Yan Yuan didn't come, but she didn't expect him to still come.
How could she believe that Yan Yuan would leave her alone? He coming here should have been within her expectations, right?
Yan Yuan did not pull her up, but kneeled in front of Yan Shuo.
"Royal Uncle!"
Yan Shuo immediately stood up from his chair, "Royal Uncle, what are you doing?"
It was not because Yan Yuan had to kneel, but because he had long ago granted Yan Yuan the privilege, he did not need to kneel in front of him.
Ever since he ascended the throne, he had not allowed Yan Yuan to kneel in front of him.
"Your majesty, Qing Er is not Liu Tian Xin. When this humble subject returned to the capital, Qing Er had already told this humble subject, and it was this humble subject who asked her not to reveal it. Qing Er did not dare go against this humble subject's wishes, and thus, did not dare speak the truth."
Yan Yuan took charge of the entire thing and carried it all on his shoulders, then looked at him with his downcast eyes, "Yan Yuan..."
As the words reached his mouth, his hand was held tightly by Yan Yuan. Even though he was talking to Kaiser, his attention was on Liu Ruo Qing.
The hand that was blocked by the sleeve lightly pinched Liu Ruo Qing's palm, and then looked sideways at her, giving her a comforting look, as if telling her, "Don't worry, leave everything to me."
Just that one look from her caused Liu Ruo Qing to trust him without any scruples, so she did not say a single word more and quietly knelt beside him.
Yan Shuo walked down from the table, came before him, and said: "Royal Uncle, get up first."
"The Emperor should let this subject get up after he finishes his report."
It made it impossible for Yan Shuo to force him to get up. He could only turn around and return to the front of the table to sit down, and said: "Alright, Royal Uncle will tell me what you have to say in detail."
"Understood."
Yan Yuan cupped his hands together, and then swept his gaze towards Zhang Mo, and said: "On the night this humble subject returned to the capital, Qing Er came to find this official, and told him in detail about forcing Liu Cheng He to replace Liu Tian Xin to marry. Princess Tian Xin escaped the marriage, and as long as xieqing told this subject the truth, this subject would not take offense.
It was hard to tell if Yan Yuan's words were true or false, since when did Yan Yuan first know that Liu Ruo Qing was going to marry her?
Thus, when Yan Yuan said these words, everyone was startled. The Prime Minister of the xieqing Zhang Mo's face changed greatly, he did not expect Yan Yuan to already know of this matter.
"Prince Jing, you must not listen to this girl's nonsense. How could our xieqing let a girl of unknown origin replace us, Princess Tian Xin, to deceive the Prince.
The expression on Zhang Mo's face when he spoke was one of extreme nervousness and unease as he stared fixedly at Yan Yuan and Yan Shuo.
But Yan Yuan's words were not completely taken from Yan Shuo, he was a Kaiser after all. If he could not even tell that Yan Yuan was protecting him, then his act as a Kaiser was useless.
If Liu Ruo Qing had told the truth to his royal uncle long ago, even if his royal uncle wanted to find out Liu Cheng He's ultimate goal, she wouldn't have hidden it from him.
Obviously, even though royal uncle already knew that Liu Ruo Qing was the fake Liu Tian Xin, it was definitely not as he said.
Even so, Yan Shuo did not immediately reveal his thoughts. Instead, he looked at Yan Yuan and Liu Ruo Qing who were kneeling in front of him in silence, as if he was considering the authenticity of Yan Yuan's words.
Yan Shuo, as the Prime Minister of the xieqing, stood in the's imperial study. To put it bluntly, if Yan Shuo truly believed that Liu Ruo Qing was forced by his xieqing to marry and trick the King Jing, once the Prince Jing shifted their anger onto him, his life would be lost here.
Therefore, compared to Yan Heng, Zhang Mo was even more nervous and fearful. What he needed to do now was to insist that Liu Ruo Qing had killed Princess Tian Xin and marry her in the process of her marriage.
"Prince Jing, please reconsider. Please don't be fooled by this woman's flowery words …"
Zhang Mo had not finished speaking, but he had already received Yan Yuan's bottomless black eyes that were staring at him. He could not help but shudder in fear.
"Prime Minister Zhang thinks that I'm an easy person to fool?"
As the Prime Minister of a country, how could he not understand the meaning behind Yan Yuan's words?
They just wanted to tell him that their xieqing wanted to find an impersonated Liu Tian Xin to fool him, and had underestimated him, Yan Yuan. In other words, he didn't believe him at all, and didn't believe the xieqing's Kaiser.
"Wang... "Prince …"
Zhang Mo's face was covered in beads of sweat, but for the sake of his life, he could only grit his teeth and endure. The only thing he could do was to bite Liu Ruo Qing, and he would still have a chance to escape.
Just as he was thinking about how to make Yan Yuan believe him, Yan Heng suddenly spoke up, "Ninth brother, Fourth brother knows that you want to protect my younger brother, but, she pretended to be Princess Tian Xin and told this to me personally by her personal servant. That day, this woman killed Princess Tian Xin with that woman beside her and married her in her place."
