Just as she was about to speak, she inadvertently glanced at the window and was stunned. Soon after, she quickly walked to the window and saw the Pear Garden before her.
She had seen this Pear Garden when she charged into the King Jing Palace day and night, and Yan Yuan had specially planted it for her. That day, she was discovered by the secret guards by Yan Yuan's side and she jumped into the Pear Garden in a panic and was almost discovered by Yan Yuan.
He didn't expect that he would be able to see the Pear Garden and the Pear Garden even if he looked further into the room … That lonely man.
She looked at Yan Yuan who was standing in front of the lonely grave and muttered to herself. She couldn't hear what he was saying, and seeing that he seemed to have thought of something, she laughed softly.
Although he was smiling, he couldn't hide the loneliness on his face.
Seeing that he was holding onto a silver medal, she was startled, "Why is that silver medal in Yan Yuan's hands?"
That day, when she went back to the tavern from King Jing Palace, she realised that the signboard had disappeared. She thought that it had fallen into her path, but she did not expect it to be in Yan Yuan's hands.
"Then he …"
Liu Ruo Qing was a little anxious in her heart. He had the plate on which she had landed, did that mean that he knew she was still alive?
No wonder he ran all the way to find Qin Xuan to ask for her whereabouts, no wonder he firmly believed that she was still alive.
If so, he would find her sooner or later.
"What should we do? "What should I do …"
She paced back and forth anxiously. If she continued to stay in King Jing Palace, Yan Yuan would find out sooner or later.
Once again, he looked towards the Pear Garden. Yan Yuan had already left.
Right now, the monsters in Ye Man's hands had yet to be eliminated, so she could not leave yet. Yan Yuan would find her sooner or later.
"What should I do?"
She bit her lower lip with a look of distress on her face.
In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve. Every New Year's Eve, a palace banquet would be set up in the palace. The ministers, as well as their families and family members, that were above the middle rank of the imperial court, would all enter the palace for the banquet.
young son was a child, he could not sit quietly, so he was brought by the palace maid, the nanny, to play with the one-year-old royal eldest son Yan Xun.
During the palace banquet, the officials congratulated him on his age, and it was extremely lively.
Yan Yuan looked at the empty seat beside him, his expression somewhat bitter. He picked up the wine cup and gulped down one mouthful after another.
palace banquets were always completely boring. In the past, when Qing Er was here, he would chat with him. Although it was a trivial matter, he could listen to every word that was said.
But now, there was no one left to chat with him, and the palace banquet had returned to its initial boredom.
At the table opposite Yan Yuan, sat Grand Princess, as well as her two daughters, Xi Ya and Duo Ya.
Xi Ya held the cup, and looked at Yan Yuan who was continuously drinking at the opposite side, a little distracted.
Ever since she cured her cousin's poison, she thought that she would have the chance to stay by his side. After a long time passed, she would have the chance to enter his heart, but she didn't expect that even if she saved his life, he wouldn't even say a word of thanks, let alone look at her.
No matter how hard she tried, he couldn't see her.
She didn't expect that even if that slut died, she would still let her cousin be so attached to her. It had already been more than half a year, but elder cousin still couldn't forget.
The more Xi Ya thought about it, the more jealous she became. The more she couldn't accept it, but she didn't dare show it in front of her mother.
By the time the palace banquet ended, Yan Yuan was already drunk. His white hair made him even more lonely.
Seeing him stand up and his body sway a little, Xi Ya's eyes lit up as if he had found an opportunity. He did not care about the number of people in the palace, and quickly ran forward.
"Cousin, you're drunk. I'll send you back."
Nuo Lan looked at Xi Ya's attentive look and frowned. He wanted to call her, but seeing the ministers and female servants coming and going, it would not be good for them to open their mouths.
"Duo Ya, go and call your sister back."
"Alright."
Duo Ya stood up and walked towards Xi Ya, but before sshe could reach Yan Yuan, and just as her hand was about to touch Yan Yuan's sleeve, he brushed it away.
Xi Ya's hand was suspended in midair. Seeing the female servants passing by who looked like they were laughing at her, her face darkened and she gritted her teeth. Looking at the girls who were smiling, a trace of killing intent flashed past her eyes.
Duo Ya had coincidentally come over at this time, and when she saw Xi Ya's gaze, she was extremely shocked. Those pitch-black eyes that seemed to be missing eyeballs instantly stunned her.
She reached out her hand, rubbed her eyes and looked again, but Xi Ya's eyes had already returned to normal.
"I made a mistake …"
Duo Ya patted her head and muttered. However, when she thought back to the scene that she saw with her own eyes, she could not help but shiver.
Yan Yuan had already left in front of Xi Ya, and he sighed in his heart.
Why is my sister not giving up yet? It's clear that I can't forget my sister-in-law by looking at my ninth cousin. Sigh …
Although she felt sympathy for her sister, she also felt that her sister's heart was too big. How could she be worthy of someone like her cousin?
Although their mother was the Grand Princess of the late emperor, he had left the capital for twenty years. He had just returned to the capital, and a few ministers in the imperial court knew her.
The reason she was addressed as Grand Princess was also because of the previous Emperor. In reality, her mother had no actual authority.
Duo Ya was only thirteen years old, she could see things a bit clearer than her sister Xi Ya, how could she still not understand?
Walking forward, she saw that Xi Ya was still staring at her back, and said: "Elder sister, mother is calling you back."
Xi Ya's eyes darkened, she turned to look, only to see Nuo Lan's gloomy face looking back at her. She lowered her eyes and walked back.
Yan Jue and Liu Tian Xin walked out of the palace together. Seeing Yan Yuan who was walking unsteadily in front of them, he walked over worriedly. "Ol 'Nine, are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
"Why are you drinking so much? I'll send you back first."
Yan Yuan shook his head and rejected his suggestion, "No need, I'll go back by myself."
"Can you do it now?"
"I'm fine."
Yan Yuan took a glance at Liu Tian Xin who was waiting not too far away. Her face looked exactly the same as Qing Er's, yet he couldn't even sense anything from her body, yet there was such a strong reaction from a man.
The more it was like this, the more frustrated he felt in his heart.
"Sister-in-law is waiting for you. Go back."
He lightly pushed Yan Jue in Liu Tian Xin's direction. This was the first time he called Liu Tian Xin sister-in-law, so Yan Jue felt comfortable listening to him insist.
"Then I don't care about you, go back and be careful."
"Yes."
After letting out a low grunt, Yan Yuan hobbled towards the direction of the Duke Palaces by himself. New Year's Eve, he was alone, the sky was filled with colorful fireworks, but in his eyes, the world without Qing Er was forever dark and gloomy.
