C874 I'll trade him for my son

"Cousin."

Xi Ya?

Liu Ruo Qing looked at the well-dressed woman in front of him.

"Cousin brother, there's the whereabouts of Heng Er."

Xi Ya's words caused the expression in Yan Yuan's eyes to darken, and her originally calm demeanor became somewhat relaxed.

He jumped down from the horse and quickly walked in front of Xi Ya, "You have news of Heng Er?"

"Mn, it's Ye Man. Ye Man took Heng Er away."

As Xi Ya said this, she passed a piece of cloth to Yan Yuan, "This was placed outside my room this morning."

Yan Yuan took the cloth and wrote a line of words on it. He frowned and looked at Xi Ya: "Miao Yu?"

"Yes."

Xi Ya vigorously nodded her head, "The higher ups said that Heng Er is in his hands. If they want him to let go of Heng Er, unless..."

As she said that, her gaze pointed towards Liu Ruo Qing.

Yan Yuan frowned impatiently. "Unless what?"

"Unless cousin is willing to trade with him."

Xi Ya extended a finger and pointed at Liu Ruo Qing who had come down from the horse behind him.

As expected …

Yan Yuan's eyes dimmed, a trace of sternness flashed past. Looking at Xi Ya without saying a single word, those cold eyes caused Xi Ya to suddenly feel a sense of panic.

"Cousin, why are you looking at me like that?"

Xi Ya pursed her lips, a trace of apprehension on her face.

But in the next second, Yan Yuan retracted his gaze, and shook his head: "It's nothing, it's been hard on you."

This was the first time Xi Ya saw her speaking to him in such a pleasant manner. Her face immediately lit up, "It's not hard at all, Heng Er is my cousin, of course I'm worried about him."

Yan Yuan nodded his head, his face revealing a smile, he seldom smiled at outsiders, and even more so, at Xi Ya, this was the first time Xi Ya saw him smile like this, in that moment, it was as if the world had become dim.

Xi Ya stared blankly at Yan Yuan's incomparably handsome face, his cheeks suddenly blushing.

"Cousin brother, what do you plan to do? Ye Man is just like a demon in the legends, he is very dangerous to Heng Er, you should quickly make the decision, I'm worried that Heng Er …"

"Your Highness, let this one go. This one is willing to exchange for the young son."

Even though she knew it was a trap, when Liu Ruo Qing said that Ye Man wanted to trade him for the young son, she still agreed without hesitation.

Since she would die sooner or later, it was a good thing for her to trade her for Heng Er.

She hadn't done much for Heng Er in her entire life, so she didn't have any regrets for him to return safely before he died.

Yan Yuan squinted his eyes, seeing Liu Ruo Qing's sincere eyes, he did not seem to be joking.

He knew that his entire identity was not simple, but he did not understand why he was so nervous about someone who was not related to him in any way.

Seeing him looking at himself without speaking a word, Liu Ruo Qing became even more anxious, "My prince, please allow this one to go. This one is just an insignificant guard.

This was the first time she had seen this little guard, and she had not expected that such an ordinary guard would have such a peerless appearance. Fortunately, he was a man; if he was a woman, no matter how deeply he loved his cousin, he would not be able to resist the temptation of having such a face.

However, it was a pity for his face.

Xi Ya sighed in her heart. If a man was treated like this by his cousin, then if it was a woman, the dead Liu Ruo Qing would probably be easily replaced by him.

"That's right, cousin brother, Heng Er's life is more important, you should quickly make the decision."

Seeing Yan Yuan hesitating, Xi Ya urged him.

He really did not expect that this little guard would be valued so highly by his cousin. Someone who could exchange it for his son's life, he actually hesitated.

"Prince …"

Liu Ruo Qing urged from the side, her heart anxious.

"Alright, I understand."

Yan Yuan said coldly, he raised his hand slightly and stopped Liu Ruo Qing from speaking.

His gaze turned towards Xi Ya and said: "Go back first, and see if Ye Man has anything else to say."

Let her go back just like that?

Xi Ya was a little unwilling in her heart. It was rare for her cousin to be so good to her, she still wanted to stay here with him for a while longer.

However, she couldn't not listen to her cousin's request. After all, at this time, that little thing's life was very important in her cousin's heart.

When everything was done, she would just let that little thing disappear forever. After all, Liu Ruo Qing that slut was dead, and that little thing was also dead, there would be nothing related to Liu Ruo Qing by her cousin's side.

When that time comes …

As Xi Ya thought about it, she became extremely excited, but she did not reveal it on the outside. She looked up at Yan Yuan and said, "Alright, cousin brother, I will leave first, the moment there is news of Heng Er, I will come and tell you."

"Yes, it's been hard on you."

"It wasn't hard at all for my cousin."

Xi Ya revealed a bashful smile, and then, she waved her hand towards him. After she left, Yan Yuan's smile immediately disappeared, and her face was filled with a cold expression, as if her expression that was as warm as the spring wind was just a misconception.

Liu Ruo Qing did not know what Yan Yuan was thinking at the moment.

"Your Highness, what do you want me to do? As long as I can change back to the young son, I'll listen to you."

Yan Yuan stopped and looked at her, then snorted coldly: "Are you really listening to everything I say?"

"Yes."

"Alright, go back and have a good night's sleep. We'll discuss the rest tomorrow."

He saw that this brat was going to go crazy. He had to calm him down a bit.

As for trading him for Heng Er …

Firstly, he was not a servant from the Duke Palace who had sold himself, and secondly, he did not owe him anything in King Jing Palace. Regardless of how nervous he was for his own son, he did not have the right to exchange the life of someone who was not related to him for his son's life.

"I'm not sleepy. Prince, I …"

"If you don't want to listen to me, then don't talk about anything else."

Yan Yuan coldly cut her off, and after he finished speaking, he entered the east yard. Liu Ruo Qing still wanted to chase after him, but thinking of what he had said just now, she retracted her extended foot.

Everything that Yan Yuan had decided on, was always the same. If she said another word, he might really change his mind and not let her change his.

Suppressing the uneasiness in her heart, she went back to her room and lay down, but when she closed her eyes, her mind was filled with the fear of her son, and it was impossible for her to sleep.

Eyes open, she recalled the conversation between the two palace maids today, as well as the incident of her running into Xi Ya when she went back to her residence, as well as the piece of cloth that Xi Ya had given her.
