Qin Xuan looked at her with a complicated expression, as if she was looking for her meaning. However, she could only silently shake her head at him, burying the pain in her heart deep down.
After a long while, she heard Qin Xuan speak with difficulty: "Brother Yan, this one has to ask for the opinion of a friend. If she is not willing to meet me, I cannot force her."
Qin Xuan's words caused a hint of disappointment to flash past Yan Yuan's eyes, but he still persisted: "Brother Qin, you only need to bring me to see her. I will take care of the rest myself."
"Brother Yan!"
"Qin Xuan, do you need me to kneel down and beg you?"
Yan Yuan's resolute eyes made Liu Ruo Qing's heart clench into a ball. It was as if if if Qin Xuan could kneel in front of him with just a word, and he would be willing to kneel down even if Qin Xuan wanted to.
Qin Xuan frowned in difficulty, and once again looked towards Liu Ruo Qing with an inquiring look, only to see Liu Ruo Qing still shaking her head, and biting his lower lip to the point that it was bleeding.
Withdrawing his gaze from Liu Ruo Qing's face, he sighed in his heart.
Why did these two have to suffer?
"Brother Yan, why do you insist on meeting my friend?"
Qin Xuan looked at Yan Yuan and asked.
Seeing Yan Yuan's face, there was a faint tinge of sorrow in his eyes, which gradually dimmed down. "She is my wife, I lost her, I want to find her and bring his back now."
The low and hoarse voice, in the face of the heartbreaking loneliness, caused Liu Ruo Qing's heart to suddenly clench.
"She doesn't want to see me. It must be my fault for not protecting her well …"
"No, she doesn't blame you!"
Liu Ruo Qing's words blurted out, causing Yan Yuan's expression to be stumped for words. Her gaze suddenly shot towards her.
Realizing how impulsive he had acted just now, Liu Ruo Qing panicked, but remained calm on the surface: "Little … "This one means that everyone has seen the prince's deep affection for his wife. If she was still alive, she would definitely care for him and wouldn't blame him."
At the moment, Yan Yuan's mind was filled with Liu Ruo Qing, he treated little guard's words as a form of consolation.
He didn't hear her words and didn't take her words to heart. He looked at Qin Xuan pleadingly and said: "Brother Qin, I beg you, please let me see her."
In Liu Ruo Qing's eyes, Yan Yuan was a very proud person, the pride and arrogance of a proud son of heaven would not allow him to reveal such a lowly expression, but now, in order to see her, he actually begged his with such a petty and humble tone.
What kind of love was this? It made this noble man let go of his pride and beg like this in front of another man just for a look at her.
It was Qin Xuan's first time seeing Yan Yuan like this, and looking at Liu Ruo Qing again, he felt a little unbearable in his heart.
But this is Liu Ruo Qing's own problem, he cannot decide for her, so why can't she do this: "Brother Yan might be mistaken, my friend is a man, how can he be Crown Princess Jing?"
Yan Yuan was startled, and in that moment, that fatal moment of disappointment started to press down on him from all directions, but very quickly, that disappointment was erased.
In this world, there wouldn't be so many coincidences; Qin Xuan must be hiding something for Qing Er.
Despite the pain in his heart, he didn't seem to be in too much of a hurry.
She wasn't willing to see him now, but one day she would be willing to see him. He couldn't be too hasty right now. If he scared her, then if she ran away, he would never be able to find her again.
In the end, she only saw him pinch the corner of his mouth bitterly, "Since that's the case, then I won't force Brother Qin."
Seeing him trying to force a smile, Qin Xuan opened his mouth, but could only console him in the end, "Brother Yan, do not be disappointed. If Crown Princess Jing is still alive, you would meet each other sooner or later."
Yan Yuan didn't say a word, and only lightly pulled at the corner of his mouth. His expression carried unconcealable loneliness.
Liu Ruo Qing stood at the side, looking at his dejected look, her gaze turned to one side and could not bear to look anymore.
After a long while, he heard Qin Xuan changing the topic, "The monsters in Ye Man's hands are currently in Easternum, if we don't take care of them soon, not only will Easternum be in great danger, the entire world will be in turmoil."
Back then, Yan Yuan had seen Dong Dan kill people in the Miao Land, and he understood that Qin Xuan's words were not fear-mongering.
"The people of xieqing and the Nanling frequently enter and leave the seedling area, I think they must have been secretly contacting Ye Man. Now that Ye Man has emerged from the seedling area, it seems like they are ready to make their move."
Yan Yuan glanced at Qin Xuan and said indifferently.
Qin Xuan nodded, his gaze remained calm and collected as he swept his gaze across Liu Ruo Qing's face, before looking at Yan Yuan, and asked: "Brother Yan, what are you planning to do next?"
Seeing Yan Yuan like this, he would not let things go until he found Liu Ruo Qing. Now that he was willing to leave, it was most likely not possible.
To be able to find clues of the Crown Princess Jing from a painting, to be able to chase after her like this, to the point where she had risked her life to save Ye Man just to obtain her clue. Qin Xuan thought, this must be the feeling of accompanying Liu Ruo Qing in life and death right now, that's why he was so desperate, and this was all for the sake of finding her.
He thought about it for a moment. It would be impossible for him to do such a thing.
There were too many things in his heart, too many places for him to think about too many things.
Listening to his question, Yan Yuan looked at him and said, "Given your current situation, it probably won't be that easy for you to safely return to the Nanling."
Saying this, he paused for a moment before saying, "Fortunately, this duke does not have any important matters on me. It would be better for me to personally escort Brother Qin back."
Yan Yuan's words caused Qin Xuan to be shocked for a moment, but then he felt that it wasn't anything unexpected.
He knew clearly in his heart that for a person like Yan Yuan to lower himself to ask him to inform him of Liu Ruo Qing's whereabouts, it was naturally for the sake of obtaining some clues from him that such a person would be willing to become a guard to escort him.
Qin Xuan suddenly laughed, and jokingly said: "Brother Yan, for you to condescendingly escort me back to your country, is it because you want to hear about the news regarding the Crown Princess Jing from me?"
When he said that, he looked at Liu Ruo Qing again without batting an eyelid.
Liu Ruo Qing's lowered eyes flashed. When Yan Yuan had suggested this just now, she had also thought of this.
Seeing Qin Xuan listening to his question, Yan Yuan was not angry, nor did she avoid his question. He only smiled with a hint of gentleness in his eyes.
"This time, I, Qin, have truly gained the glory of the Crown Princess Jing."
Qin Xuan's words made Liu Ruo Qing's eyes flash slightly, and she stood at the side silently without uttering a word.
Furthermore, the reason why he did not let those monsters kill Qin Xuan's master and servant that day, was partly because he still did not know the identities of those three people. After not confirming with xieqing and Nanling their identities, he did not dare to make the decision on his own.
