C543 543 Too light penalty

"Princess Tian Xin escaped the marriage first, it's just that, you are a member of the xieqing, I can't punish you too much, so we'll take you in for half a month. After half a month, Zhang Xiang will bring you back to the xieqing to deal with you."

Liu Tian Xin was startled, then bowed and expressed her gratitude, "Sin Girl, thank you for your kindness."

"As for the Ninth Aunt …"

Yan Shuo turned to look at Liu Ruo Qing, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Yan Yuan, "Your majesty, this matter will be started by this humble subject, and any punishment your majesty has for Qing Er, will be done by this humble subject alone."

Yan Shuo's gaze lazily shifted towards Yan Yuan's nervous face, and could not help but roll his eyes in his heart.

This berserk devil is here again, can't we let him jump out after I finish speaking?

An unhappy snort came from Yan Shuo's mouth. "Hmph! Does Imperial Uncle think that I won't punish you?

Yan Yuan wanted to say something, but was stopped by Liu Ruo Qing.

"I have indeed deceived the emperor. It is only right for me to be punished. If I don't receive any punishment, then I won't feel good about it."

As she spoke, her gaze turned back to Yan Shuo, and she said, "Your Majesty can punish me as you wish."

Yan Shuo lifted his teacup and moistened his throat, then said: "The recent hot weather, the number of people cleaning the streets of Jindu had decreased by a lot, so I'll let Ninth Aunt sweep the streets for half a month."

Although it was ancient times, the people of Bitter Summer could not endure such temperatures. However, when Liu Ruo Qing heard that it was just sweeping the streets, she was secretly happy, and without saying a word, she immediately kowtowed to Yan Shuo. "Thank you, your majesty."

Compared to getting beheaded, sweeping the streets in such a hot weather was nothing. Not to mention half a month, she would be happy to accept it even if it took half a year.

On the other hand, Yan Yuan's expression didn't look too good. How could she bear going out to sweep the streets in such a hot day?

"Your Majesty …"

Yan Yuan was still unwilling to accept it, but he was pulled back by Liu Ruo Qing.

"Royal Uncle."

Only then did Yan Shuo turn his gaze towards Yan Yuan, and said: "Don't be impatient, you will not avoid the punishment that you deserve."

That gaze was meant to tell him that you really think I'm so easily deceived?

I want to help you now, so I turned a blind eye to it.

"King Jing intends to conceal Crown Princess Jing's identity from us. On account of the fact that he doesn't have any ill intentions, I will punish you by having you pay your salaries for half a year, and then return to King Jing Palace to contemplate over this matter for half a month."

If Yan Shuo was not wrong about this Ninth Uncle's eccentric nature, then Yan Heng could not be blamed for being envious and jealous.

Penalty of half a year, to a mere King Jing Palace, was nothing. After facing the wall and pondering for half a month, no one needed to look at him.

Unexpectedly, he didn't even have the most basic form of imprisonment.

listened at the side and felt even more hatred. Back then, he was just one step away, and the person sitting on the throne right now was either him or his son. Why would he need to run around like this and run into walls in order to save his son's life?

And the culprit who wanted his son's life was the one who had committed the crime of deceiving the monarch.

This farce that could not be considered as a farce ended with Yan Heng's unwillingness and disbelief.

"I didn't expect the Emperor to punish me so lightly."

From the moment they left the palace gate, Liu Ruo Qing was still in a daze, feeling that the arrival of bliss was too sudden.

"If I had known the outcome would turn out like this, I would have told the Emperor that I was a fake right after I married into their family. There's no need to be so worried for so long."

As he sat in the carriage back to the Duke Palaces, Liu Ruo Qing's eyes lit up with excitement. Yan Yuan didn't say anything, but only smiled faintly and looked at her with a gentle gaze.

When she finally calmed down, she said slowly, "Luckily you didn't say anything back then. Otherwise, not to mention the Kaiser, I would have killed you."

Liu Ruo Qing was startled, she wanted to ask him why, but when the words reached her mouth, she immediately understood.

When he was at odds with her back then, she was afraid that this guy would only dream about killing her. How could he expect her to protect him in front of Kaiser?

Thus, at that time, regardless of whether it was voluntary or forced, she was unavoidably responsible for cheating on her husband.

Moreover, there was another key person who managed to escape death this time, and that was Liu Tian Xin.

If she had told him the truth at that time, like how Zhang Mo had denied everything with no help at all, she would truly be doomed.

With this thought in mind, she let out a long breath, patted her chest and said with some lingering fear, "You're right."

Yan Yuan smiled, extended his hand and caressed her soft hair, saying: "Don't be happy too early, you still have to sweep the streets on such a hot day, don't cry to me when you get back."

"Don't worry, it's just sweeping the street. As long as I can keep my life, I'm willing to do anything."

As she said that, she looked at Yan Yuan, and suddenly jumped into his embrace.

Yan Yuan was startled, then smiled, he extended his hand out to stop her body and pulled her into his embrace, "Why did you suddenly become so proactive?"

Liu Ruo Qing raised his head from Yun Che's embrace, and looked at him with a faint smile in his eyes: "I know, if it wasn't for you, the emperor wouldn't have punished me so lightly."

Yan Yuan did not hold back, and reached out to pinch her cheeks, "Since you know I'm so good, how can you repay me in the future?"

Hearing this, Liu Ruo Qing glared at him unhappily, and said: I gave birth to such a clever and cute child, I'm still not going to repay you?

"You gave birth to such an unfilial son who dared to oppose me. Yet, you call it repayment?"

Yan Yuan reached out and grabbed Liu Ruo Qing's chin, lowering his head a little. Before Liu Ruo Qing could retort, she covered her lips, not giving her the chance to escape.

Liu Ruo Qing tried to struggle out of it, but very quickly, under Yan Yuan's teasing, the struggle became negligible.

The temperature of the carriage was much higher than the heat wave from the third day. Liu Ruo Qing's entire body became hot and her face flushed red.

When King Jing Palace's carriage stopped at King Jing Palace, the two stopped fighting.

The two of them with different expressions got off the car, Liu Ruo Qing's face was hot red, but luckily the sunlight outside was too bright, so no one noticed.

Yan Yuan held her hand and entered the Duke Palace. Just as they were about to go to the east yard, they saw You Miao wandering around in the garden.

Liu Ruo Qing raised her eyebrows, looked at the burning sun, then looked at You Miao, and suddenly laughed for some unfathomable reason.

Hearing her laughter, Yan Yuan looked at her and asked curiously: "What are you thinking about that's so funny?"

"Nothing, I just feel like it's a hot day, isn't it hot for her to wander around in the sun?"

She pointed to You Miao with her chin and smiled.

That night, You Miao went to the study room to lure Yan Yuan away, and when Yan Yuan came back, he told her. If he did not need You Miao to cure his of the poison, he would have broken his legs.
