C870 870 you've always been there?

The voice that suddenly came from the side of his ear made Yan Yuan's movement of getting up pause. He turned his head around and saw Liu Ruo Qing standing respectfully by the bed, looking at him with a pair of worried eyes.

"It's you?"

He frowned. "What are you doing here?"

"Your Highness, this … This is a small room. "

Liu Ruo Qing answered without batting an eyelid. It was as if what happened last night had never happened.

Yan Yuan's expression froze for a moment, then he suddenly thought of something, and practically bounced up from the bed. His eyes looked around anxiously, as if he was looking for someone.

"Your Royal Highness, you … What are you looking for? "

Liu Ruo Qing saw the panic on Yan Yuan's face, and his heart tightened.

Yan Yuan's eyes suddenly shot towards her, and a sharp expression flashed across his face. "This king was with you last night?"

"Yes, Your Highness. After you came back from the palace, you came to this little servant's side and immediately took over this little servant's bed. This little servant sat on the bed for the entire night."

His eyes drooped as he replied carefully but he did not dare look Yan Yuan in the eye, afraid that he would see through it.

The him of last night had been too crazy. It was as if he wanted to take advantage of that opportunity to vent all of his longing and hesitation. At this moment, her legs were still weak and she couldn't walk anymore.

After that crazy cloud rain, she was afraid that he would wake up and not even dare to sleep. After cleaning everything up, she had woken up to this point. Coupled with last night's torment, she was tired and sleepy.

Her answer made a trace of disappointment appear on Yan Yuan's face, but last night, she had clearly …

He felt that Qing Er had returned, and the feeling was very real. Even if he was drunk, it was impossible for him to not feel anything.

Even now, he could still clearly recall what happened last night. How could it be just a dream?

Yan Yuan was unwilling to accept this. He wanted to find something to prove that last night was not only his drunken dream, but also that his Qing Er had indeed come to visit last night.

"You never left for a moment?"

"Your highness is very drunk, all the servants in the mansion have had their holidays. This lowly one is worried about leaving you here by yourself, and aside from going to the kitchen to bring you some hot water, I haven't left a single step."

Liu Ruo Qing prepared a flawless answer to all of the questions that Yan Yuan wanted to ask.

When Yan Yuan heard her words, he was like a deflated ball. He was stunned on the bed and did not say a word for a long while.

How could it be a dream? Since it was a dream, why did he have to feel that real?

She had promised not to leave, but why hadn't she come back yet?

As Liu Ruo Qing looked at his dazed appearance, her heart ached even more. However, she still could not show anything on her face. "Your Royal Highness, are you alright?"

"I'm fine."

Yan Yuan came back to reality, his voice carrying a trace of disappointment and hoarseness that was hard to hide. He walked down from the bed and looked at the fatigue on Liu Ruo Qing's face, and thinking about how she had been by his side all night, he couldn't bear it, so he said: "You haven't slept the entire night, get a good night's sleep."

Liu Ruo Qing was extremely tired, and luckily Mr. Lu had given her the medicine to be able to endure through the torment she went through last night. At this moment, she was tired and tired, so after hearing Yan Yuan's explanation, she did not refuse and nodded.

"Yes, thank you, Your Highness."

Yan Yuan indifferently nodded his head, the expression on his face was dark, he once again looked at the bed in thought, and finally left without saying a word.

Once Yan Yuan left, Liu Ruo Qing slumped onto the bed, her legs trembling uncontrollably. If Yan Yuan had been even a little bit slower, she might have fallen down.

Lying down on the bed, she pulled up the blanket and covered herself with it. There were still some traces of last night's entanglement on her body.

Remembering how lonely he looked when he left, Liu Ruo Qing frowned, and her heart felt as if it had been twisted by a knife.

It was just that she was too tired now and had fallen asleep not long after she had lain down on the bed.

Liu Ruo Qing slept for a long time, and when she woke up, it was already evening.

Because during the new year, there was half a month of rest day in the imperial court, and when Liu Ruo Qing was still around, the King Jing Palace was still rather lively. Especially when Yan Yuan was resting, she would think of some programs to kill the time.

Or maybe Yan Yuan would accompany her to stroll around the streets, buy some fun things, go to the snack street to eat some special snacks and so on.

Now that Liu Ruo Qing was no longer around, Yan Yuan's days had returned to the dull and boring life from before. It was even more boring than before.

Even if it was rest of the day, he would either be in the study taking care of official business, or in the Pear Garden, staring blankly at Liu Ruo Qing's grave while wearing his clothes, or he would be accompanying his son and playing around.

Even the servants thought that without the Crown Princess Jing, there was no longer the feeling of home.

After Liu Ruo Qing got up, she casually washed her face and rinsed her mouth before leaving the room.

Thinking about the bamboo balls he made for the young son a few days ago, he decided to take this opportunity today to give him as a New Year's gift.

Instead of going through the side door, she went around to the outside of the courtyard, intending to enter through the main gate.

"Ox Young Master."

At the entrance of the main courtyard, Liu Ruo Qing met the wet nurse who was in charge of taking care of the young son.

"Nanny, where's young son?"

"The Crown Prince was in the palace last night, and did not come back."

young son was a regular customer of the palace, so it was not strange that he didn't come back. When Liu Ruo Qing heard from her wet nurse that he was still staying in the palace, she only nodded, put away the disappointment in her eyes, and turned back.

Just as he was turning around, he met Yan Yuan who was finishing up his work in the study.

"Your Highness."

She nodded slightly and greeted him in a low voice.

Yan Yuan looked at her, thought for a while, and asked: "Have you slept enough?"

Liu Ruo Qing's body stiffened, she then nodded her head, "Thank you, Your Highness, I have had enough sleep."

Yan Yuan faced her, and did not know what else to say, but after making a sound of agreement, he was prepared to leave, when he caught a glimpse of the bamboo ball in her hand, his eyes widened, and he asked, "You made this up?"

Hearing this, Liu Ruo Qing looked down at the thing in her hands, her expression calm as she said, "That's right, today is the new year, so I don't have much good stuff to give to the crown prince. Seeing that he likes to play football, I made one up for him, I wanted to give it to him, but after hearing that the crown prince is still in the palace, I didn't come back."

She looked at Yan Yuan and laughed awkwardly. Seeing Yan Yuan staring at the ball in her hand in a daze, she started to panic in her heart.

"You also know how to make this up?"

He remembered the day when he went to find him in his courtyard, he saw him pulling out some bamboo sticks from his courtyard. It was used to make balls for Heng Er.

Hearing him ask that, Liu Ruo Qing looked down at the bamboo ball in his hand and smiled apologetically at Yan Yuan. "I know a little, and I'm not very good at weaving.
