C873 873 Unable to calm down

Why was she so nervous for Heng Er, why was she so familiar with the path of the palace, and even why was he so sure that Qing Er was not the one who carried him away?

His scrutinizing gaze was extremely sharp, like a searchlight, shining directly into Liu Ruo Qing's heart, as if he could see something from her body.

He looked down at his hands, which were gripping her arms. He slowly reached out and grabbed her wrist, pulling her hand away from his arm. He didn't let go of her hand, instead, he tightened his grip on her wrist.

Only now did he realize that her wrist was very thin, as if he could crush her hand with a little more force.

"Speak, who exactly are you? Why are you so sure that it is not Qing Er? Do you know where she is? "

His questions were pressing down on her step by step, causing the pressure on her wrist to increase, causing Liu Ruo Qing's face to turn pale in pain.

"Speak!" Where exactly is Qing Er? "

Ferociousness gradually appeared in Yan Yuan's eyes, his pitch-black pupils slowly narrowed as he locked onto Liu Ruo Qing's panicked eyes, "You know where Qing Er is, don't you! "Isn't that so!"

Yan Yuan's mood began to become agitated.

Liu Ruo Qing kept shaking her head, "I don't know, I don't even know who Crown Princess Jing is!"

Her wrist was hurting from Yan Yuan's pinching, and her tone of voice was trembling from the pain, "But I'm sure that it wasn't Crown Princess Jing who took away my son, I'm sure!"

"Why should I believe you!"

Yan Yuan sneered, let go of Liu Ruo Qing's hand and jumped on her horse.

Liu Ruo Qing had almost crushed Liu Ruo Qing's hands, and only after a long while did she regain her senses. Seeing Yan Yuan riding on his horse and leaving, she behind him used all her strength and called out to him: "Yan Yuan!"

Yan Yuan's hands that were pulling on the reins of the horse stiffened. This was the first time he heard a little guard like him dare to call out his name to his face.

He reined his horse but did not turn his head back. He only heard Liu Ruo Qing's extremely hoarse voice come from behind him, "If something happens to young son, you will regret it."

She had used up almost all of her energy to say this sentence. After she finished speaking, her chest was in excruciating pain. She had no choice but to kneel at the entrance, unable to get up.

Heng Er, where are you, who took you away, Heng Er …

She squatted on the ground as her tears continuously dripped down. She had made her son lose his mother, so she was unwilling to recognize him. Looking at him made her sad, and now she couldn't protect him either …

Her heart ached and she blamed herself, and her tears fell harder.

A pair of boots with dark brown embroidered golden threads were placed right in front of her, bending over to help her up from where she stood.

She looked up to see Yan Yuan frowning at her. On his gloomy face, there was an undisguised unhappiness, "Who told you that I am not going to save Heng Er?"

He never said before that he would let Heng Er go. Whether the one who brought Heng Er away was or wasn't Qing Er, he would never let him go.

If Qing Er did not take Heng Er with them, the thief would have taken Heng Er away for his own reasons. In other words, after taking Heng Er with them, they would have definitely come looking for him.

Before that, Kaiser had already sent people to look for Heng Er's whereabouts. As for him, all he needed to do was to wait for those people to find him.

His eyes were filled with loathing as he looked at a grown man crying like this. However, he felt displeasure in his heart and could not say what he felt.

Liu Ruo Qing was startled by his words. After that, she wiped the tears that were left in the corner of her eyes, and said with a tone of complaint: "Didn't you believe that Crown Princess Jing took away your son?"

"Even if Qing Er took him away, did I say that I wouldn't look for him?"

"…"

Liu Ruo Qing did not reply, she was truly anxious and confused.

If she was the one who carried Heng Er away, Yan Yuan would definitely look for her.

She glanced at Yan Yuan awkwardly, "Your Highness, please forgive me, I'm too nervous."

"Humph!" Why didn't This King know that you were so nervous about This King's son? This King nearly suspected that he was your son. "

He was my son.

Liu Ruo Qing muttered in her heart, but on the surface she only twitched the corner of her mouth in embarrassment.

On the way back to the Prince's Mansion, Liu Ruo Qing refused to give up and analyzed it to Yan Yuan, "Your Highness, think about it, if it was the Crown Princess Jing, taking her son away from the Prince's Mansion would be much easier than taking him away from the palace. Why would she take such a risk?

"Yes."

Yan Yuan answered with a low voice.

Liu Ruo Qing didn't mind as sshe continued to analyze the situation with Yan Yuan, "Your Highness, even if Princess Hua-Yang is still alive, there is no reason for her to take Prince Zi away. If Prince Xu is still so young, he can still go back to the King Jing Palace and accompany her forever. Why would I have to say that she isn't willing to go back to the Duke's Mansion like this?

Saying that, Liu Ruo Qing paused, seeing Yan Yuan's lowered eyes who seemed to be deep in thought, she continued, "My prince, the wangfei loves you so much, she definitely cannot bear to separate the prince from you."

Yan Yuan finally had a reaction, he looked at her face which revealed a hint of anxiety, as though he wanted to get his hands on his. After a moment of silence, he nodded, "I know."

From his previous analysis, he had long ago thought that Qing Er's chances of taking Heng Er away was actually not high.

On one hand, if Heng Er was in Qing Er's hands, then there wouldn't be any danger. On the other hand, he could still find Qing Er using this clue.

Thus, he deceived himself and wasn't willing to listen to this brat's words. However, he didn't expect that an outsider like him would see through the relationship between him and Qing Er so clearly, as if he had personally experienced it.

When Liu Ruo Qing heard his answer, she was actually stunned for a moment. Originally, she was waiting for him to refute her first, then think of a way to convince him.

"Then …"

"The goal of the other party taking Heng Er away is me. With Heng Er by their side, there won't be any danger for the time being."

Liu Ruo Qing understood this, they had no reason to capture a child that didn't know anything, their goal must be Yan Yuan.

But once she thought about how the little guy was still in the hands of those vicious people, who knew what they would do to Heng Er if they couldn't control even a single bit.

Liu Ruo Qing was not at ease, her entire heart was in disorder.

He also didn't know how he followed Yan Yuan back to the Duke's Palace either. His entire person was in a muddled state until a clear female voice pulled her thoughts back.
