C727 Level 727

When Yan Shuo said this, his expression was a little awkward.

Yun Jiao Rong looked at Yan Shuo, and with a complicated expression, he creased his eyebrows. Under Yan Shuo's anticipating and uneasy gaze, he shook his head, "It's useless, your majesty."

She looked at the disappointment in Yan Shuo's eyes and felt a stinging pain in his heart, "I can make big brother release Ruo Qing, but, I can guarantee that Ruo Qing is not in big brother's hands, even if he wants to release Ruo Qing, State Grandmaster would not agree."

"State Grandmaster?"

Yan Shuo frowned, according to the imperial government's investigation of the Shen Ji Hall, they knew that among the heads of the Shen Ji Hall, there was an elder with esteemed status, could he be the State Grandmaster that Rong Er was referring to?

"He is my brother's master. There are many things in the Shen Ji Hall that the Imperial Advisor has gone to take care of. Ruo Qing must have been captured by the Imperial Advisor, if he doesn't agree to let him go, brother can't do anything about it."

Yan Shuo frowned, his expression somewhat agitated: "Isn't your brother the crown prince? As an Imperial Advisor, why would he not listen to the orders of the Crown Prince? "

Yun Jiao Rong gave a bitter smile. If the teacher was willing to listen to the crown prince's words, maybe she and her brother wouldn't suffer so much in their entire lives.

They were forced to shoulder the responsibility of the family, so what could they say?

As the sons and daughters of the Mo family, how could they do nothing?

Furthermore, the Imperial Advisors were doing all this for the sake of restoring their Mo family's Jiang Shan. How could his brother kill a loyal servant who was wholeheartedly working for the Mo family for an outsider?

"The Imperial Advisor wholeheartedly contributed to our Mo family. Does the emperor think that my brother would kill him just because the Imperial Advisor refused to listen to him?"

Yun Jiao Rong laughed at himself, his eyes faraway as he looked into the distance, his gaze unfocused, "In order to restore our country, he can do anything he wants."

Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to use him to raise his own disciple.

Yun Jiao Rong did not say these words out loud.

Yan Shuo pursed his lips, he thought for a while, then thought of something and asked: Have you met your brother?

Yun Jiao Rong was startled, her expression flickered, but in the end she still nodded her head, "En, I have seen her."

She had said so much, if one were to say that they had never seen it before, Kaiser would definitely not believe it.

"When?"

Yun Jiao Rong retracted her gaze, pursed her lips and did not look at Yan Shuo, but only lightly said: "Every time he wants to see me, he would sneak into the palace."

With Young Master Shen Ji Hall's position, it would not be difficult for him to infiltrate the Imperial Palace without anyone noticing. Therefore, Yun Jiao Rong's reply did not arouse Yan Shuo's suspicions.

"Where's the Imperial Advisor?"

"I've never seen him, but I've heard my brother talk about him."

Yun Jiao Rong denied it without even thinking. If she were to reveal the teacher, Yan Shuo would guess Liu Qian Xun sooner or later, and once he guessed at Liu Qian Xun, Ruo Qing would be implicated in the whole matter, regardless of whether or not the imperial government would find out about Ruo Qing in the end. At least for now, she did not want this matter to come out from her own mouth.

Yan Shuo did not doubt Yun Jiao Rong's words. He only thought about the difficult to deal with State Grandmaster that she had mentioned, and his brows still knitted tightly.

Since Yun Jiao Rong had no other choice, the Kaiser agreed to Yan Yuan's request in the end, and allowed him to leave the capital for the northwest. At the same time, he had also allowed a group of elite soldiers to follow Yan Yuan.

"The people the emperor gave you are not his trusted aides, after all. If they saw Liu Qian Xun, they would definitely return to the capital to report to the emperor."

When sending Yan Yuan out of the city, Yan Xiao lowered his voice, moved close to Yan Yuan's side, and said softly.

Yan Yuan nodded, and looked at the dozen or so inner masters.

They will secretly follow you all the way to the northwest. They are all my trusted aides, so if there is anything you need them to do, just tell them to do it. If they meet Liu Qian Xun, do not alert these servants and kill him.

Yan Xiao's voice lowered even more.

"I got it, thank you, Sixth Brother."

"Alright, go on, I'm not doing this for you. After all, if you end up breaking up with the emperor, then I'm not the one who's going to suffer."

Yan Xiao said half joking and half serious.

Yan Yuan laughed bitterly as he mounted his horse and said, "I'll be leaving first."

"Go. Be careful on the road."

Liu Ruo Qing led Liu Ruo Qing all the way north. Along the way, she met a group of guards under Yan Yuan's command, and although she wanted to find a chance to escape, she was always detected by the old man.

In the past few days, the old man's temper had been a bit violent. She didn't want to anger him, so she could only obediently wait for an opportunity.

Apart from this incident, there was another thing that had been bothering her the entire time. It was her ancestry.

Ever since he found out about his background, Liu Ruo Qing couldn't let go of this matter. If there was nothing to do, he would take out the half piece of jade that Liu Qian Xun gave her earlier and look through it repeatedly, attempting to find something related to his background.

Liu Qian Xun walked behind her, and when he saw her staring at the jade again, he said unhappily: "Just with this half piece of jade, what can you tell?"

Liu Ruo Qing held the jade in her hand, thought, and asked Liu Qian Xun: "Master, before that servant breathed his last, did he tell you nothing? Can you help me think about it a little more? "

Other than using Liu Ruo Qing to deal with Yan Yuan, to a certain extent, Liu Qian Xun still cared a lot for him. At this time, even the two of them, master and disciple, did not show any signs of impatience when facing Liu Ruo Qing.

Seeing that she was so obsessed with her own life, he walked to her side and sat down. He closed his eyes and thought back to the past.

After a long while, he suddenly opened his eyes, and took the jade pendant from Liu Ruo Qing's hands, and looked at it carefully, "Jiang."

Seeing Liu Qian Xun's thoughtful look, Liu Ruo Qing's eyes lit up, and said anxiously: "How is it, Master, did you think of something?"

"At that time, that servant only said two words to me."

"Which two words?"

"Imperial family."

The royal family? Or was it the Huang Family?

Liu Ruo Qing looked at Liu Qian Xun blankly.

Liu Qian Xun stared at the jade pendant and did not say anything for a long time.

"Master …"

"If this' Jiang 'on the jade is your family's surname, then this' royal 'should be referring to the heaven."

"Tian Clan? So that means it's the royal family? "

Liu Qian Xun nodded her head, "This piece of jade is very unique and rare. Normal people wouldn't have this kind of jade, plus the clothes you wore back then, even a baby, isn't made from a normal person."

Liu Ruo Qing had always been stealing tombs from Liu Qian Xun, so she was naturally able to tell from the quality of the jade that this was definitely a top-grade jade.

"From generation to generation, every family has their own rules. Ordinary families won't be able to get hold of the clothes you wear. They'll have to be at least of the marquis' rank."
