C697 697 Why did Jiu Ji do this

Yan Yuan's pupils contracted and he quietly looked at Yan Xiao. His face was still calm as he said, "This is just Sixth Brother's guess, right?"

Yan Xiao shook his head, "For someone like Wei Shao, who is afraid of death, even if he was sent to the execution grounds, if the executioner's blade did not fall, he would still hold hope. This kind of person would not commit suicide.

Yan Yuan shook his head in disapproval, "Perhaps before this, he still had some hope that the person who drugged the Emperor was Wei Shao. We are still not clear on the identity of the person who drugged him, and it is very possible that it is Wei Shao's man. Now that the emperor has recovered, he naturally feels that he won't have the chance anymore. Isn't it normal for him to commit suicide? "

Yan Xiao looked at Yan Yuan silently. Although he had not returned to the capital for more than ten years, he believed that he still had some understanding of his little brother, like the doubts he had raised just now. Under normal circumstances, he would agree with what Yan Yuan had said.

What was going on?

He thought about that day when they were at King Jing Palace and he was suspicious of Yun Jiao Rong's reaction. At that time, he already felt that it was suspicious.

It seemed like … He wanted to urgently get rid of Yun Jiao Rong from using the medicine, but Yun Jiao Rong was clearly the person who was the easiest to get close to the Kaiser in this matter.

Why did Ol'nine do this?

Did he want to protect Yun Jiao Rong, or did he want to say that once Yun Jiao Rong was involved, there would be someone else he wanted to protect involved?

"Did you see him in the Celestial Prison yesterday?"

He suddenly spoke out, but Yan Yuan's expression did not change, and he nodded his head: "I see, he has a condition with me."

"Tell me about it."

"He said that he knew what kind of medicine the Emperor had. As long as I let him go, he would give it to me. He didn't know that the Emperor had recovered."

When Yan Yuan was lying, he could also speak frankly. His eyes made it impossible for others to see that he was lying.

"So, after he found out that the emperor had recovered, he desperately tried to kill himself?"

"Maybe."

Yan Yuan did not say too much in front of Yan Xiao. His Sixth Brother was not as easy to fool as Eighth Brother, who was the Pavilion Master of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets.

Yan Xiao saw that Yan Yuan did not seem to be paying attention to this matter and did not seem to even want to discuss it.

However, things were definitely not as simple as they seemed on the surface.

After leaving the palace, Yan Xiao didn't return to the Prince Rui's Palace, but instead changed directions and headed in another direction.

When Yan Yuan just returned to the King Jing Palace, he was immediately dragged away by Liu Ruo Qing.

"What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Yan Yuan laughed as he looked at Liu Ruo Qing's anxious expression.

"Wei Shao is dead?"

She stared at Yan Yuan's face and asked nervously.

The smile on Yan Yuan's lips stiffened slightly. Then, he nodded indifferently, "Yes, I'm dead."

When Yan Yuan said this, there was no emotion in his eyes, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

However, Liu Ruo Qing was not as calm as he thought. She stared at him and asked: "Did you do it?"

Yan Yuan did not admit nor deny it. He only gave Liu Ruo Qing a comforting look, grabbed her hand, patted the back of her hand and said: "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

Liu Ruo Qing was anxious in her heart. It was because he always told her not to worry about anything and to do everything for her that made her worry.

She was afraid that Yan Yuan would do something that would affect him the most for her.

Wei Shao had secretly joined hands with the Shen Ji Hall, she had thought that Wei Shao would also know that his master was the People from the Divine Artefact Hall, and was also worried that Wei Shao would reveal his master's identity when he saw the Kaiser.

However, she didn't dare to tell Yan Yuan about this concern because she was afraid that Yan Yuan would do something dangerous. She didn't expect that after Wei Shao had safely stayed in the prison for three months, there would actually be news of him committing suicide.

She would not believe that Wei Shao would commit suicide out of guilt. It seemed like Shen Ji Hall was planning to openly clash with the imperial government, so naturally there was no reason to kill Wei Shao and silence him.

Then, if Wei Shao died, it could very well be him.

Although Yan Yuan did not admit it, the look in his eyes and expression explained everything.

She had been husband and wife with him for almost three years, so she had some understanding of Yan Yuan.

"You idiot, Wei Shao is a traitor, how can you kill him!"

Yan Yuan laughed, as though he was not concerned with the matter at all, he only looked at Liu Ruo Qing and said: "Since she is a mob, shouldn't he be dead?"

Of course, Liu Ruo Qing knew that he deserved death, but he did not deserve to die at Yan Yuan's hands. He had to die under the imperial court's rule of law.

"Wei Shao dared to rebel, aside from the Shen Ji Hall, maybe there's someone else behind him. The Emperor hasn't killed him for such a long time, he must be trying to use him to find the people who were plotting against him, and now that he is dead, what if the Emperor orders a thorough investigation, and finds out all about you?"

The more Liu Ruo Qing thought about it, the more anxious she became.

As long as she could think of it, how could Yan Yuan not think of it?

Liu Ruo Qing sometimes really wanted to ask, what kind of virtue or ability did she have to make such a magnificent and peerless man act like this for her?

She had never done anything for her except implicate him.

Her eyes contained tears as she looked at Yan Yuan emotionally, but she couldn't say anything.

Yan Yuan seemed to be able to see what she was thinking, smiled and rubbed her head, then said: "Silly girl, don't think too much, you gave birth to my child, and almost lost your life. As your husband, isn't that what you should do? "

The tip of Liu Ruo Qing's nose twitched, and she was unable to say a single word. She could only bury her head in her hands, press her face into his chest, and say with a choked voice: "Yan Yuan, I think I will kill you."

As long as you're not the one dying.

In his heart, Yan Yuan secretly replied, yet on the surface he said, "You're so unconfident of me?"

Liu Ruo Qing did not say anything, she only looked at him with her teary eyes, and seeing that he was still smiling at her, she consoled him, "Don't worry, even if the Emperor gives the order to investigate, the case will reach me, no one will investigate me."

"But when it comes to Sixth or Eighth Brother."

"What's the difference between being in their hands and being in my hands?"

Yan Yuan smiled and asked her, his eyes full of confidence.

What else could Liu Ruo Qing say?

In a treacherous place like the imperial family, how could something like this happen? If she hadn't personally experienced it, she wouldn't be willing to believe it.

In the end, she could only sigh and say, "Forget it, I don't care about you anymore. It's better if you're not afraid of me being implicated."
