Mo Rong Tian smiled as he looked at her innocent face. His eyes were filled with a light, doting smile, "Alright, let's seriously play chess then."
Half a month had passed and Yan Jue's stomach disease had already completely recovered. He left the Imperial Palace and moved back to the Prince Lu's Mansion.
The moment the two of them returned to the Prince Lu's Mansion, news came from the palace. The xieqing sent Prime Minister Zhang Mo to bring Princess Tian Xin back to the xieqing.
When Liu Tian Xin heard of this news, she was stunned, and her expression turned ugly.
Yan Jue saw the slight change in her expression, went up to her and asked softly, "Don't you want to go back to the xieqing?"
"No."
Liu Tian Xin frowned, she shook her head, and looked at Yan Jue's worried expression, and swallowed back the words that were about to leave his mouth.
There were some things that she should not tell Yan Jue for now, in case he was worried for her.
If not, even if she stayed in the Easternum, it would bring Yan Jue trouble. After all, she was still the princess of the xieqing, and the biological daughter of Kaiser, Liu Cheng He.
No matter how capable Yan Jue was, he wouldn't be able to control her father.
She stood there in a daze, causing Yan Jue to feel even more uneasy.
"Xiao Tian Xin."
He softly called out to her, and she suddenly came back to her senses. She looked into his deep, bottomless eyes and forced herself to open her mouth. "What did you just say?"
Yan Jue felt that something was amiss with her, he frowned and said: "If you don't want to go back to xieqing, I will go tell the emperor."
"No need!"
Liu Tian Xin immediately rejected her, "I'm the princess of xieqing, I can't stay in Easternum forever, I have to go back no matter what."
As for whether he would be able to come back after returning, that was not certain.
Liu Tian Xin's eyes unintentionally dimmed down.
She knew her father, and he would not care about anyone but himself. Even if she was his daughter, he could still give her up if his interests were at stake.
But she couldn't stay in the Easternum, so she made things difficult for Yan Jue and the Kaiser. No matter how difficult the road ahead was, she had to go back.
Yan Jue didn't know what she was thinking, but seeing her gloomy expression, he thought that she was just unwilling to leave. He looked at her, tightly held her hands with a smile, and said: "Go back first, I'll immediately tell the emperor, when you return to the xieqing, I'll propose to the xieqing and personally go to the xieqing to marry you."
Liu Tian Xin's face instantly turned hot. Facing Yan Jue's burning gaze, she pushed him back with feigned anger, "Are you that confident that I will agree to marry you?"
"I have already sent word out that Princess Tian Xin belongs to the Eighth Prince and no one would dare to marry her. If you do not marry me, then you can only be an old lady."
Just as she said that, she took a hard kick from Liu Tian Xin, "Are you trying to make me unable to get married anymore?"
"That's right. So, after you go back, wait obediently for me to propose to you. Don't run away from the marriage again. If you dare run away, I'll catch you even at the ends of the earth. Then let's see how I'll punish you."
He reached out and lightly scratched the tip of her nose. His eyes were filled with tenderness.
He had no idea when he had fallen in love with this hot-tempered girl, but when he realized it, his feelings for her had reached an uncontrollable level.
If he couldn't marry her in this life, perhaps he really could only be lonely and grow old.
Liu Tian Xin looked at the longing in his eyes and did not splash any cold water on him, but only threw herself into's embrace and hugged him tightly. In front of Yan Jue, there was a rare moment of comfort and gentleness, "Yan Jue, I'll be waiting for you at xieqing, you must come and marry me as soon as possible, don't make me wait too long."
Yan Jue's body froze for a second, and in the next second, his eyes were filled with excitement. This girl, he had never said such emotional words to him before.
"Why are you so impatient to marry me?"
"Scram!"
"Don't worry, once I marry you, I'll roll out with you!"
Yan Jue hugged Liu Tian Xin tightly, his face was full of smiles. He had never thought that an identity surrounded by beauties would have such anticipation and excitement just because he wanted to marry a girl.
He also finally understood why Ol 'Nine would reveal a completely different side of him from the King Jing s in front of ordinary outsiders because of Ruo Qing.
This was probably how things went.
However, he had never thought that when he wanted to use his identity as the Eighth Prince of Easternum to openly marry the girl in his arms, this separation would cause them to part forever.
A month after Liu Tian Xin left the Easternum, just as she was about to enter the palace and propose to the xieqing with the etiquette of a prince's wife, she received news that caused him to completely collapse.
"Royal Uncle, you came at the right time."
In the imperial study, Yan Shuo looked at Yan Jue who was happily smiling as he appeared in front of him, and frowned.
"What's with that expression, did Old Ninth and his wife give you trouble again?"
Yan Jue walked forward, lazily leaning on Yan Shuo's table, taking joy in his misfortune.
He saw Yan Shuo looking at him with a stern and serious expression. Gradually, Yan Jue's smile faded and a sense of unease flashed across his face.
"It can't be related to me, right?"
His heart suddenly tightened as he stared intently at Yan Shuo.
Seeing Yan Shuo pass a book in front of him, he said: "Princess Tian Xin is dead."
The hand Yan Jue had just picked up suddenly trembled, and the book fell to the ground. His face suddenly went pale, his eyes revealed disbelief as he looked at Yan Shuo, his voice trembling violently, "You … What did you say? "
Yan Shuo could not bear to look at him, but he still hardened his heart and repeated: "Princess Tian Xin is already dead. On the second day after she returned to the xieqing, Princess Hall caught fire, she, she …"
"Nonsense!"
Yan Jue's eyes had already reddened once as he interrupted Yan Shuo's words with a low growl. His voice became somewhat hysterical, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! "
"Royal Uncle …"
Yan Shuo frowned, and could not bear to look at him.
Seeing Yan Jue quickly squatting down and picking up the paper roll, he looked at it seriously again and again. Soon after, he tore the paper roll in half.
"Impossible!" Xiao Tian Xin will not die, she said that she was waiting for me to marry her in xieqing, and she still hasn't waited for me, how can she die!? "
He was trembling all over, and even if he was unwilling to admit it, his expression was one of sorrow.
"Royal Uncle, calm down. This matter …"
"Your majesty!"
Yan Jue interrupted him with a hoarse voice. His eyes were red and tears were rolling in his eyes, "She must have escaped the marriage again, she has always been this mischievous. She wanted to tease me, really … "She's not dead, she must have fled the marriage …"
