Liu Ruo Qing was starting to suspect if the cautious and careful Yan Yuan who did not sleep at all until the middle of the night was actually an act.
After thinking about it, Liu Ruo Qing still admitted her wrongs, "Your Highness, it's all this humble one's fault. What should we do next? "
She looked at Yan Yuan with an inquiring gaze, as if she was really obedient as a guard.
However, when Yan Yuan heard her say "my family's Duke", he became inexplicably agitated again. Especially when she looked at him with those eyes, he couldn't help but want to dig those eyes out.
"Take me to that place yesterday."
"Just the two of us?"
Liu Ruo Qing casually asked, immediately attracting Yan Yuan's cold and stern eyes, "Are you afraid?"
"No, no, this one just feels that there are still many monsters around Ye Man, whether my Prince is dead or alive is still unknown. If you go over again, wouldn't it be a waste of your life to die?"
Liu Ruo Qing hurriedly explained. In her heart, she naturally did not wish for Yan Yuan to head there alone at this time.
"Furthermore, Your Highness, have you forgotten about Dong Dan ripping open your chest with her bare hands? All the monsters are exactly the same as Dong Dan … "
Liu Ruo Qing had not finished speaking when Yan Yuan's eyes suddenly became cold, causing him to forcefully stop his words.
She … Did he say something wrong?
"How do you know that this king had been injured by Dong Dan?"
Yan Yuan's gaze was sharp, staring at Liu Ruo Qing's face, like the eyes of a night hawk, causing Liu Ruo Qing to have nowhere to hide.
The matter of him being injured by Dong Dan, he hadn't even told Qin Xuan, so how could this insignificant guard know?
Liu Ruo Qing was shocked by Yan Yuan's question. She had subconsciously said it earlier, but did not think about it. Not many people knew about this matter with Yan Yuan, so it was even more impossible that a guard from another nation like her knew about it.
"Your Highness, you have forgotten what you told my Prince in your study that day. This little one will stand to the side."
She remembered that when Yan Yuan talked about how Dong Dan had torn apart many seedlings with his bare hands, he did not mention that Dong Dan had also been injured.
He hoped that Yan Yuan's memories were in a mess and did not remember what he said that day.
"This King did not say."
"Impossible!" "Your Highness, you must have said it before. Otherwise, how would this little one know?"
Liu Ruo Qing insisted firmly. She did not want Yan Yuan to suspect her identity and was afraid that he would see through it.
She looked at Yan Yuan, her gaze a little unfocused. Luckily, she was wearing a human skin mask, so Yan Yuan could not see her true expression.
Seeing Yan Yuan staring at her coldly without saying a word, Liu Ruo Qing's heart started to become nervous.
Fortunately, Yan Yuan didn't say anything in the end and only said: "Follow me first."
"Yes, thank you, Your Highness."
Liu Ruo Qing's face revealed joy, but at the same time, she heaved a sigh of relief.
She stealthily glanced at Yan Yuan's profile, but he was still as handsome and unparalleled as she remembered. Even with his silver hair, it was unable to cover up his innate outstanding demeanor, and instead added a bit of the charm of an immortal to his body.
Her eyes were filled with a faint sense of gratification.
Even if I cannot stay by your side as Qing Er, I will be satisfied to be able to walk the last leg of your journey in my life.
She silently looked at Yan Yuan, the corners of her lips slightly raised.
Yan Yuan felt that the person beside him was looking at him, that familiar gaze made his heart tremble.
As he turned his head, he coincidentally bumped into Liu Ruo Qing's smiling gaze. His heart shook suddenly, and his heartbeat actually started to speed up uncontrollably.
Damn it!
He was actually flustered by a man's laughter!
Yan Yuan cursed in his heart. He realized that every time he saw this bodyguard with the surname Niu, his entire person would become abnormal.
"What are you smiling at This King for?"
he asked coldly.
Liu Ruo Qing also did not expect Yan Yuan to suddenly turn his head and catch him red-handed. Even if she wanted to dodge, it was already too late.
Although he was already an old man's wife, Liu Ruo Qing still could not resist the urge to blush. Fortunately, the human skin mask blocked his view.
If he saw a man not only peeking at him, but also blushing at him, he would not stop himself from saying some nasty words.
She knew that her temper and mouth were always very vicious.
"Small... I've been hungry all day, so I'm very happy to see you. "
She naturally came up with an excuse without the slightest bit of guilt.
"You want This King to treat you to a meal?"
This was the first time he saw a guard with such thick skin who dared to ask others for food.
Was this how Qin Xuan pampered him?
Because he was good-looking?
In Yan Yuan's mind, this thought suddenly appeared, and then he felt that his guess was right.
Qin Xuan had put such a beautiful young man by his side as his personal bodyguard, and even allowed him to act so shamelessly.
He thought back to that day in King Jing Palace, when Qin Xuan discussed matters with him to bring this brat along. Before his master even entered the room, he had already stepped into it.
Isn't this what the master, Qin Xuan, was used to?
He never thought that Qin Xuan had such hobbies.
Yan Yuan scoffed coldly in his heart. As he thought of what happened between him and Qin Xuan, his heart started to feel inexplicably irritable again.
Liu Ruqing wasn't used to being a guard, so when Yan Yuan asked, she realized that as a guard, he shouldn't have allowed a prince to treat his to a meal, especially if she was a guard of another kingdom's prince.
She embarrassedly touched her stomach and smirked at Yan Yuan, "It's alright if you don't want to."
Gulp ~
As soon as he said that, his stomach let out a sound, giving Liu Ruo Qing no face at all, causing him to want to cry.
Can you give me some face? Don't tear her down when she says that.
Yan Yuan looked at him coldly, then turned and brought Ma La over, handing it over to Liu Ruo Qing, "Hold it."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Immediately putting away the embarrassment on his face, Liu Ruo Qing took the rein from Yan Yuan and carefully walked behind him.
Looking at the tall and straight back figure that walked in front of him, Liu Ruo Qing suddenly felt a wave of pain in his heart when he thought about the man whose face was filled with grief in the Pear Tree Forest that day.
She did not know when he would emerge from her "death." Time passed slowly, and she believed he would pass as well.
This made her even more determined not to let him know that she was still alive.
After he finally emerged from the sadness of the past, she made him face her life and death once again. She really couldn't do it.
She smiled at his back. It was good to be by his side now.
Suddenly, she felt dizzy. She subconsciously had to tighten the reins to keep her balance.
