C819 819 Under Pear Blossom Forest Before Lonely Tomb

"Good prince, those servants are blabbering, don't believe them. We'll tell the prince to punish them for spouting nonsense another day, okay?"

"Are they really talking nonsense?"

"Of course, the empress dowager, the emperor and the princes all say that your mother is still alive. You don't believe them, but you believe in those servants instead?"

young son seemed to understand, but after thinking about it, he felt that since his aunts and the rest were so good to him, they would definitely not lie to him. Thinking about this, his crying finally stopped.

"Mm, I understand. I need to eat more then. I want my mother to come back early."

"young son is so obedient, let's lie down and sleep first, okay?"

"Alright."

"Good girl, Aunty carried Crown Prince to sleep."

The light in the room had finally been extinguished and Liu Ruo Qing stood outside the door, sobbing.

Only after a long time had passed did she gradually calm down. With light footsteps, she walked into the courtyard and, with a flip, entered the East Courtyard.

The East District was pitch black, with white snow as white as goose feathers falling along with the moonlight.

Listening to what Nanny said just now, Yan Yuan most likely still had not returned. She thought for a moment, then pushed open the door and walked in.

The furnishings here hadn't changed at all. They maintained the same appearance as when she had left. The items that belonged to her on the dressing table hadn't been tidied up either. Everything had been kept, just like when she was still here.

Even the manuscripts of the scenes she had written for the theater were still neatly folded at the edge of the table.

Liu Ruo Qing's eyes grew unsteady as she saw this. It took her a lot of effort to retract her tears, but now they were filled to the brim with her tears once again.

She walked up to the bed and caressed it with her hand. It was ice-cold on top and a handkerchief was placed beside the pillow. She had personally embroidered this handkerchief for Yan Yuan at that time, and thought that he would despise her seductive embroidery and would throw it away.

All this time, she had always felt that humans have to die, and life and death were things that one had to experience no matter what. Thus, she opened up all of this and could not imagine just what kind of blow it would be to Yan Yuan to die.

She stood by the bed for a while, holding the handkerchief. Then, she turned around and left. However, her gaze inadvertently fell upon the white figure standing outside the open window.

Her heart suddenly ached as she quickly walked to the window. That white figure, the silver strands fluttering in the wind caused her eyes to ache.

It was as if his heart had been suffocated at that moment. He could not believe the scene that was unfolding in front of his eyes.

Under the lonely moonlight, that person stood in front of a tombstone in desolation with a head full of silver threads. The moonlight fell on that person's thin body, seemingly isolating him from the entire world.

Every night, Yan Yuan would stand here and chat with Liu Ruo Qing's tombstone.

The words on the tombstone was personally carved one by one by him with a knife in hand — — The Tomb of his beloved wife, Liu Ruo Qing.

He couldn't find her body, so he buried her here in the grave. He could stay with her every day until the day he could go find her.

"Qing Er, if you let me live, I'll live. Just like this, I'll accompany you for life."

His voice was heartbreaking.

Within the Pear Blossom Forest, white snow was falling on Yan Yuan's shoulders. The dried up leaves on the trees had long since drifted away, falling with the wind, drowning the snow-white Lonely Tomb in front of him.

Yan Yuan slowly crouched down in front of the tombstone. His slender fingertips gently caressed the tombstone as he engraved the name with his own hands.

Even if he had a high position and authority, even if he looked down on the mountains and rivers, there was no longer anything that he treasured in these mountains and rivers.

"Qing Er, don't worry and stay here, no one will dare disturb your peace. While you were alive, I did not protect you well for your entire life, and now that you have left, I will protect you well for the rest of your life."

In this Lonely Tomb, even if Qing Er did not bury him, that woman had long been buried deep in his heart, and any form of entanglement would cause her bones to hurt.

Liu Ruo Qing covered her mouth with her hands in order to cover the sound of her tears. Her palms had been bitten so hard that deep teeth marks were made, she couldn't hear what he was saying, but she could feel the endless sadness and loneliness coming from his body.

She couldn't imagine his pain, but when she saw his head full of white hair, her heart shattered.

How could she hate such a man? How could she resent him? Even if her entire family was exterminated, she still wouldn't be able to hate a man that deeply loved her.

She couldn't be like Yun Jiao Rong and be so ruthless to Kaiser that she couldn't even begin to hate him.

How could she hate him? How could she hate him?

"Yan Yuan... Yan Yuan... "

She subconsciously called out his name, wishing she could immediately rush to his front.

Blood began to drip from her nose, staining her palms and cuffs red. She lowered her head to look at it, only to see a few drops of blood on the windowsill.

"Who is it?"

All of a sudden, the hidden guards nearby heard her movements and shouted angrily.

Usually, when Yan Yuan was in the Pear Forest, no one was allowed to follow him, including the hidden guards.

Therefore, these hidden guards could only watch from afar, because they were far away, they could only focus all of their attention on Yan Yuan, and naturally ignored the person who appeared in the room.

Adding on the fact that Liu Ruo Qing herself had an excellent movement technique, the hidden guards did not notice her at the start.

If it wasn't for her losing control and making a sound, they wouldn't have noticed at all.

Hearing the guard's voice, Liu Ruo Qing suddenly regained her senses. She became anxious and wiped the blood from her nose in a flurry, attempting to escape subconsciously.

Now was not the time for her to show her face.

Moreover, Liu Ruo Qing had heard from him that Yan Yuan had a shadow guard on his side. Thus, if Liu Ruo Qing wanted to escape from the hands of the guards that were under Yan Shuo's command, it probably wouldn't be that easy.

That was the Pear Forest, a forbidden area in King Jing Palace. When the guards saw her jump out of the window, they stopped in front of the window, not daring to jump in.

"What should we do? That person has entered the Pear Woods. Should we chase after him? "

"But your highness won't allow anyone to enter and disturb the peace and quiet of the wangfei. If we go over recklessly like this, your highness will blame you …"

"But what if that person breaks in and injures the prince?"

Normally, they wouldn't be worried about the prince's abilities, but because of the princess, his health wasn't very good these days. If this person really hurt the prince, they would be dead for sure.

After Liu Ruo Qing jumped into the Plum Forest in a panic, she finally realised that Yan Yuan was there. Her heart tensed up, and seeing that the guard didn't chase up to him, she turned around and ran.
