C668 The Eighth Prince has been released

His gaze turned towards a certain direction in the Imperial Palace, and the cold light in his eyes became even sharper.

Yun Jiao Rong...

Perhaps, she was the reason why Shen Ji Hall had to make a move at this time.

He thought back to when the Tutor Yun had died. The Tai Fu Clan had been exterminated, but only the Tutor Yun's only child remained. They had not been able to resolve this question from the very beginning.

Furthermore, even though the People from the Divine Artefact Hall had tried their best to take Yun Jiao Rong away, they didn't have any intention of killing her. Perhaps this had nothing to do with the destruction of the Great Fu Clan.

It was actually Yun Jiao Rong himself that had some sort of connection with the Shen Ji Hall.

Otherwise, with the ruthless methods used by the Shen Ji Hall to exterminate the clan, why would she spend so much effort to trick Yun Jiao Rong out of the Supreme Fu Mansion before setting a fire?

And last night, Yun Jiao Rong rushed up to Kaiser at such a critical time, was he really that worried about him?

Yun Jiao Rong was not stupid, and was not an impulsive person. If it was not for some other reason, she would not have charged forward without thinking about the consequences.

That assassin!

The coldness in Yan Yuan's eyes became a little deeper.

The abnormal attitude Qing Er showed towards Yun Jiao Rong yesterday was definitely because she had discovered something.

Perhaps, that assassin could very well be the real master behind the scenes in the Shen Ji Hall.

Even the master of the Shen Ji Hall had been dispatched. It seemed that they were planning to gamble everything they had this time, and wouldn't want to delay any longer.

The next day, the Kaiser came to a halt. The only news that spread was that the Emperor had caught a cold and needed to rest. If there was anything important that needed to be done, they could be passed on to the inner palace ministers and the princes.

And the Sixth Prince who had left the capital for more than ten years and had suddenly returned to the capital this time caused a lot of debate amongst the officials.

Many people were guessing the reason why the King Rui Lord had suddenly returned to the capital after leaving the capital for so many years.

On the second day after the Kaiser returned to the Xing Yu palace, news was spread around the palace that the spring test had nothing to do with the Eighth Prince. It had already been discovered that there was a secret tunnel where the test was kept.

That secret passage was ancient, and could be considered to have been dug during the last era of the previous dynasty. The suspect had entered the secret passageway and stolen the content of the test. The eighth prince had innocently taken the blame for them.

Thus, the Eighth Prince, Yan Jue, was released from prison.

At the same time, everyone naturally revealed the connection between them and the people from the previous dynasty. After all, the secret passageway was dug in the last year of the previous dynasty, so the remnants of the previous dynasty would definitely know of its existence.

Yan Jue left the Sky Prison and first went to the Chengde Palace to look around. After confirming that he was fine, he hurriedly returned to the Prince Lu's Mansion to see his wife.

Prince Lu's Mansion —

"Xiao Tian Xin!"

Just as he arrived at the entrance of the Duke Palace, he saw Liu Tian Xin standing there, anxiously waiting for him.

Even though the veil covered her face, Yan Jue could still see her urgent and pleased gaze from within her clear and transparent black eyes.

"God bless you, your highness has finally cleansed my wrongdoings."

Steward Zhao stood at the entrance of the palace excitedly and bowed deeply in all four directions.

After that, as Yan Jue walked toward Liu Tian Xin, he hurriedly said. "Your Highness, cross the brazier first to get rid of the bad luck."

"The old man is so long-winded."

Although Yan Jue despised Housekeeper Zhao, he was still in a good mood as he strode over. He impatiently grabbed Liu Tian Xin's hand and giggled: "Wife, I'm back."

There were many servants standing around, upon hearing Yan Jue call her 'wife', Liu Tian Xin's ears suddenly turned red.

"Don't yell, who's your wife? Quickly go inside and take a bath, it's so smelly."

Her cheeks were flushed red, her hand was held tightly by Yan Jue, "You promised me before that you would marry me if I came out, you better not go back on your words."

Saying that, under everyone's dubious gaze, Liu Tian Xin was directly brought away by Yan Jue.

When he returned to the main yard, Yan Jue couldn't wait and pulled Liu Tian Xin into her embrace, "Wifey, I missed you so much, did you miss me?"

"Nope."

Liu Tian Xin said as she unhappily pushed Yan Jue away, her eyes filled with disdain. "Wash your body first, it smells so bad."

Yan Jue smirked, "Now you think I'm smelly?"

He encircled Liu Tian Xin's body, and let her wrap her up in her arms, and said: "It doesn't matter, we have much time in the future, and will get used to it after a long time."

Yan Jue's "shameless" excuse successfully caused Liu Tian Xin to roll her eyes in disdain. She pushed Yan Jue away from her with a look of disdain, pinched her nose, and said: "Does that mean you plan to never take a bath for your entire life?"

"As long as you don't mind me."

Yan Jue smiled mischievously as he moved closer. Liu Tian Xin agilely turned around and successfully dodged the attack.

"If you don't take a bath now, stay away from me in the future."

Seeing the disdain in Liu Tian Xin's eyes, Yan Jue laughed, and laughed, joking was enough, he surrendered: "Alright, alright, stop joking, I will go take a bath first."

With that, he turned around and walked a few steps, then came back to her once more. Liu Tian Xin looked at him with a puzzled expression, and seeing that he was smiling mischievously, he suddenly bent over and gently pecked her face. Under Liu Tian Xin's angered gaze, she said: "Wait for me here, I'll be out soon."

Liu Tian Xin's face was flushed red, he raised her hand to call out to him, but when Yan Jue sensed this, his body flashed and he entered the clean room.

Liu Tian Xin stood outside and watched his tall figure disappear inside. She suddenly blushed and let out a laugh.

Seeing that he had finally come out safely, the worry that Liu Tian Xin had been holding in for the past few days finally relaxed.

Yan Jue was really as he said. He quickly finished washing up, and when he saw that Liu Tian Xin was still sitting in the room waiting for him, his eyes lit up, his face suddenly filled with happiness. He walked to like a dog and bent his body down a little, moving closer to the tip of her nose.

Liu Tian Xin reached out to push him away in annoyance and amusement, "Can you be more serious?"

"Why are you being so serious with your own wife?"

He was habitually wrapping Liu Tian Xin around her arms. It was unknown when it had become her habit to do something like this, but it was as if he could only enclose her in her own world so that she wouldn't disappear just like before.

In terms of "shamelessness", Liu Tian Xin could not compare to Yan Jue at all. These shameless words, every time, he would always say them extremely smoothly. Although Liu Tian Xin despised her on the surface, when she called her "wife", even if she could not suppress the sweetness in her heart, she would still not ignore it.

"Wife, when we went to the enclosure field, did anyone bully you?"

Although Yan Jue's words sounded a little casual, he still thought that there were some things that did not need to be asked.
