"Shut up!"
Hearing that someone younger than him also wanted to teach him a lesson, Xi Ya growled at Duo Ya with a cold face, "He's just a servant, who do you think he is?"
With that, he left while being stared at by Duo Ya in a daze.
Duo Ya looked at Xi Ya's back, and her brows furrowed a little. She felt that her sister was becoming more and more unfamiliar, to the point that she was slightly disgusted.
The butler ordered someone to clear a large courtyard for Nuo Lan and his mother to stay, and also arranged for some servants to stay and serve them. As for the other arrangements, it was not easy for him to make them his own, so he could only wait for the Duke to return.
After Yan Yuan left the Duke Palace, he had rushed straight toward the Imperial Palace. When he entered the palace, he did not go see the Kaiser, but instead went straight to the marble temple.
"Jing …" Prince Jing! "
When the guards in charge of guarding the marble temple's Sky Prison saw Yan Yuan with a gloomy expression on his face, they were all stunned.
Yan Yuan ignored them and went straight into the Sky Prison.
The guards did not dare to stop him, but they were afraid that he would cause trouble, so they followed closely behind him.
Yan Yuan walked along the narrow passage and entered the cell. Very quickly, he saw the person he missed and whose slender back was currently sitting on the floor of the cell with his back to him.
Yan Yuan's throat instantly tightened, and his voice trembled slightly, "Qing Er!"
Liu Ruo Qing was sitting on the ground in a daze, the familiar voice that made her feel like she had left for half a century suddenly rang out, causing her body to suddenly stiffen. The hand by her side suddenly tightened.
After a long while, she suddenly turned her head and looked at that familiar face. After not seeing her for a few months, she was so thin that the bones on her face could be clearly seen.
She rushed to the front of the prison door, and laughed and cried at Yan Yuan, but she could not say a single word.
Several months of worry, several months of fear, and several months of grievance surged out at this moment the instant they saw Yan Yuan.
"Open the door!"
Yan Yuan impatiently shouted to the guards at the side.
The guard looked embarrassed as he looked at Yan Yuan, trembling in fear. "Your Highness, please forgive us. The Emperor ordered that no one is to let Crown Princess Jing go."
The guards kneeled down and begged Yan Yuan for forgiveness. On one side was the emperor, and on the other was a prince with authority in his hands. No matter how they chose, he would most likely die.
I was really unlucky today. Why did I run into a prince looking for an imperial concubine?
Yan Yuan did not want to waste words with them. Seeing that they were not willing to open the door, he immediately went forward and used his internal energy to break the lock on the cell door.
His chest felt as if it was being torn apart again. He clenched his teeth fiercely in pain, and was afraid that Liu Ruo Qing would detect something, as he couldn't even make a sound.
"Qing Er, follow me!"
He endured the tearing pain in his chest and reached out his hand to drag Liu Ruo Qing out of the cell. Liu Ruo Qing stood still on the spot, with a smile on her face as she looked at him, and said: "I'm relieved to see you back."
Yan Yuan stared blankly for a bit, but then followed with a gentle smile: "Of course, I said that I will accompany you until your hair turns white. Even now, your hair isn't white, so why would I abandon you?"
Hearing these words, Liu Ruo Qing's heart ached.
With such a grim situation, how could they possibly live to see the end of their lives?
She was afraid that because of her, he would suffer the insults of the people of the world. Because of her, his illustrious name would change from the respected War God who protected his family and country to the scolded, disorderly, and disorderly person who got beaten up by everyone.
She didn't want him to end up in such a miserable state because of her.
"I'm sorry …"
Her hoarse voice made Yan Yuan freeze for a moment when she said that name. Then, she gently patted her head and said, "Why did you say that for no reason?"
"I'll kill you."
Her eyes were filled with grief, and when she saw Yan Yuan's eyes, she felt a stinging pain.
"What nonsense is this!"
He slightly raised his eyebrows and pulled her hand tighter. "Follow me back to the manor first. As for other matters, don't think too much about them. When I return, leave everything to me."
However, Liu Ruo Qing's footsteps still remained unmoving. She looked at Yan Yuan with a pleading gaze and said, "I'm fine staying here. Once everything has been made clear, the Emperor will naturally let me go."
Yan Yuan looked at Liu Ruo Qing and smiled, a complicated and helpless look in his eyes, "Do you really think that way? Do you think that Kaiser will let you go?"
Liu Ruo Qing opened her mouth, but in the end, she was still unable to say these words that were deceiving herself.
"Qing Er, he is Kaiser."
Liu Ruo Qing laughed bitterly, that's right, he was the Kaiser, the person with the greatest authority in the entire world, but she was also the person who could do nothing about it.
Lord Tang, Lord Li, her entire family was annihilated, and these two were the ones who originally wanted to execute her. Yet, these two died, the other party was obviously trying to put her to death.
Right now, everyone in the world was attacking her. How could the Emperor offend everyone in the world in order to protect her?
Since she was young, she had known that water could carry boats and overturn boats. Moreover, now that she was personally caught in such a whirlpool, how could she not be aware of it?
"I believe there will be a way. The truth will come out eventually."
She didn't want to implicate Yan Yuan, so she could only wait here peacefully. Even if this result was extremely hopeless to her.
Yan Yuan did not loosen his grip on her hand. He knew very well that to a Kaiser, to a government, what should be abandoned, what should be abandoned. And his wife, was destined to be abandoned in this political battle.
As for him, he was unwilling and unwilling to part with her. Thus, he could only risk everything, even if it would disrupt the entire world. As long as he could protect her, he would not care about anything else.
Therefore, he was glad that he wasn't the one sitting on the throne. He still had a chance to make a choice.
"Qing Er, follow me out."
"No …"
"Come with me!"
Yan Yuan used a bit of strength and brought Liu Ruo Qing out of the prison. The guards tried to stop him with their sabers, but they were all shocked by the look in her eyes.
"Yan Yuan..."
"Puff …"
A mouthful of blood sprayed out from Yan Yuan's mouth, startling Liu Ruo Qing and the guards.
"Your Highness!"
"Yan Yuan!"
At this time, Liu Ruo Qing saw a pool of blood on Yan Yuan's chest.
"Are you hurt?"
Liu Ruo Qing shouted in shock, but Yan Yuan did not say anything, he only pulled her along and walked out.
Seeing Yan Yuan like that, the guards did not dare stop his, and could only follow behind them with their sabers in hand, but Liu Ruo Qing did not dare to force her to stay, afraid that when he was pulling her, the wounds would move again.
"Yan Yuan, don't worry about me. Let's have the imperial physician take a look first."
"I can't see the imperial physician, so you follow me back to the manor first. I'll look for the Mr. Lu."
