C683 683 Astonishing Truth

Liu Ruo Qing returned to the King Jing Palace with a heavy heart. Coincidentally, she met Yan Yuan walking out of the study room, accompanied by a few middle ranking officials.

After sending off the ministers, Liu Ruo Qing walked over to him and asked, "Are these Masters here to inquire about the Emperor's affairs again?"

Yan Yuan raised his eyebrows, nodded, and looked at her: "Have you seen royal sister-in-law?"

"Yeah, I saw it."

Liu Ruo Qing explained in detail what happened when she met the Kaiser and what happened to the other Kaiser.

There were still some things hidden in her heart. After she finished speaking, she looked at Yan Yuan's tightly furrowed brows and opened her mouth, wanting to say something yet hesitating.

Just as he was thinking about how to talk to Yan Yuan about medicine, he heard Yan Yuan say: "Qing Er."

"Hmm?"

"Did you suspect Yun Jiao Rong?"

Yan Yuan's question astounded Liu Ruo Qing. He looked at Yan Yuan in astonishment, and then, heard Yan Yuan's explanation: "Back then in the palace, your attitude towards Yun Jiao Rong was very strange. Moreover, I'm now suspecting Yun Jiao Rong as well."

Liu Ruo Qing was extremely shocked, after a long while, she barely managed to suppress the waves in her heart, and asked: "Why do you suspect her?"

Yan Yuan didn't notice her strange expression. While leading her into the inner courtyard, he said: "Yun Jiao Rong is Tutor Yun's daughter, but the difference in age between the two of them is too huge. Adding that Shen Ji Hall wants to take Yun Jiao Rong away time and time again, this is already very strange.

He glanced at the silent Liu Ruo Qing beside him, and continued, "Also, the change in Ah Shuo's temperament became abnormal, which was also after Yun Jiao Rong stayed by his side."

Liu Ruo Qing listened to Yan Yuan's analysis quietly as his heart was tormented by conflict.

When she thought about how Kaiser, who protected her everywhere, was being affected by Yun Jiao Rong to a great extent, she also remembered that the person behind her was her master, Liu Qian Xun, who had raised her since she was young.

In front of Liu Ruo Qing, she really did not know how to make such a choice.

If she kept it a secret, how would she be able to face the royal sister-in-law and the Emperor who helped her in every possible way, as well as the Yan Yuan who loved her so much that he could raise her?

She struggled in pain as Yan Yuan held her hand and walked into the inner courtyard. Yan Yuan's wide and warm palm wrapped around her palm but it stung her eyes.

No matter what choice she made, she would always end up letting one of them down.

Right now, the world was at peace, and the people were living and working in peace. They did not want to see such a cruel war and the change of dynasty.

She was a selfish person, but now she had to think on the side of the common people, right?

Liu Ruo Qing comforted herself in her heart, so that she would feel a little better about the things that she was about to do.

Back in his room, Liu Ruo Qing pulled Yan Yuan back, and stopped him in his tracks, "Yan Yuan."

"Hmm?"

When Yan Yuan returned home to visit her, he saw that her eyebrows were locked tightly together, and that she had stopped speaking for a few times. He started to worry in his heart, "What's wrong?"

Liu Ruo Qing struggled a few times before finally making up her mind. She opened her mouth to speak: "I … I have something to tell you. "

Seeing her solemn expression, and the tiniest hint of struggle and contradiction in her eyes, Yan Yuan's heart quivered, as if he had expected her to say something that was not simple.

"Alright, sit down and we'll talk."

Yan Yuan pulled Liu Ruo Qing and sat down on a chair in the room, then looked at her with a gentle gaze and said: "What do you want to tell me?"

Liu Ruo Qing looked up at him, both hands tightly gripped her sleeves from nervousness. It might be my master. "

Yan Yuan was stunned, staring at Liu Ruo Qing's hesitant eyes, he did not say anything for a long while, as though he did not really want to know the truth, because, once Liu Qian Xun was that assassin, it meant that regardless of whether the assassination had anything to do with Qing Er, the officials in the imperial court would not let Qing Er go.

After all, in their eyes, Qing Er's identity was unknown, and once the remnants of the dynasty were involved, no one would let her have a good time.

Liu Ruo Qing saw the complex look in Yan Yuan's eyes and looked at her without speaking, he thought that Yan Yuan was angry, but she had already predicted Yan Yuan's reaction when she made up his mind to tell him about this. He had even thought about the worse result, thus, he wasn't too surprised about Yan Yuan's current appearance, it was just that he was a little sad.

Yan Yuan didn't say anything, so she continued, "I don't know what I should do. He's my master, the one who raised me, I shouldn't have betrayed him. However, I'm afraid if this goes on, Kaiser will really die because of him …"

Her eyes drooped slightly. She couldn't see Yan Yuan's expression, but she could imagine how angry he was at this moment.

Now that she had betrayed her master, her heart didn't feel at ease when she told him her secret. Instead, it felt heavier and heavier, and she felt more and more guilty and guilty.

Liu Ruo Qing's eyes were sore and sore at the same time. She stood up and slowly knelt in front of Yan Yuan, shocking him so much that he suddenly stood up and pulled her up, "Qing Er, what are you doing?"

At this time, Liu Ruo Qing was already completely satisfied that he could still call her Qing Er.

She raised her eyes and looked at Yan Yuan's deeply furrowed brows, as if she would never have the chance to see this face again in her entire life. She stared at him without blinking for a long time, and said: "Master has given me a lot to nurture. Could you spare his life? I am willing to take his life for you, okay? Yan Yuan? I beg you, promise me, will you? "

Yan Yuan was both shocked and angry at her words, "Get up first, we'll talk about it later."

"Promise me, Yan Yuan. I beg you."

She didn't want to get up, and didn't want to let go of Yan Yuan's hand. She knew that making things difficult for Yan Yuan like this, but she really couldn't watch her master die.

"Qing Er!"

Yan Yuan was really angry, but when he saw the teary light in her eyes, his heart softened. He could not bear to scold her and leaned over to pull her up.

"Qing Er be good, calm down first. Can we discuss it properly?"

He tried to speak to Liu Ruo Qing in a gentle tone but the helplessness and fear in her eyes still gripped her heart.

Liu Ruo Qing nodded obediently and sat down beside Yan Yuan. After looking at her for a few seconds, she sighed and said: "Are you sure that the assassin is Mr. Liu?"

That day, he was only concerned with the assassin in front of Kaiser, and did not pay much attention to the other one. He only knew that the other party was extremely skilled, and that if he fought him alone, he might not be able to defeat him.
