"Small... "Small..."

She frowned and subconsciously stepped back.

"And Heng Er, your nervousness towards him has surpassed even that of my royal father's. You two are neither family nor friends, and you have only known each other for a short period of time …"

Every word that Yan Yuan said was forced to the point that Liu Ruo Qing couldn't help but want to escape. "This little one … Although this one is not related to the young son at all, this one really likes the young son, so it's natural for him to be nervous. "

She lowered her eyes and did not dare to look straight into Yan Yuan's eyes, and subconsciously swallowed her saliva.

tugged at her arm, causing her slender arm to let out a few creaking sounds, which made her frown in pain.

"Who the hell are you? "You still don't want to say, right?"

"I …"

Liu Ruo Qing frowned at the pain of his arm being grabbed, but she could not answer Yan Yuan's question.

Clenching her teeth tightly, tears welled up in her eyes. She raised her eyes to look at Yan Yuan, and said with a slightly trembling voice: "Your Highness, please believe me. No matter who I am, I will absolutely not harm Your Highness."

"Humph!" "Is that so?"

"You don't even dare to let this duke know who you are. How can this duke believe that you won't harm me?"

Liu Ruo Qing did not speak anymore, and she knew that her words would not let Yan Yuan easily believe her. After a moment of silence, she said, "If Your Highness does not believe me, you can exchange this one with Ye Man for your son. To Your Highness, wouldn't killing two birds with one stone? "One, I can exchange for the crown prince, and two, I can deal with a person of unknown origin."

Her sincere yet wronged words caused Yan Yuan's heart to tremble. Looking at her tears that were coming out from her eyes as he grabbed her arm, his heart tightened and the strength in his hands suddenly relaxed.

Liu Ruo Qing sucked in a breath of cold air, her hand subconsciously covering her arm. She glanced at Yan Yuan who had a cold expression and bit his lower lip, saying, "This little one will take his leave."

Yan Yuan did not stop her as she turned around and walked through the side door that led to the courtyard.

The next day, a white banner was erected in Grand Princess Palace, and Grand Princess's second daughter, Duo Ya, was killed by an assassin in the Palace. The assassin's methods were cruel, causing Grand Princess to faint several times.

Yan Yuan and Liu Ruo Qing appeared in the Grand Princess Mansion early in the morning. Xi Ya was dressed in all white and was kneeling in front of the spirit hall to burn paper and money.

Liu Ruo Qing looked at her. The person in front of her really made it difficult for her to connect with the person who killed her sister last night.

The current her was so delicate, so pitiful, yet it was this pitiful yet vicious girl who killed her little sister.

Recalling the scene from last night, the fist under Liu Ruo Qing's sleeve was clenched until it creaked.

"Calm down."

Yan Yuan's low and deep voice sounded from beside her, pulling her back from his furious state of mind.

She came to the Grand Princess Palace as the's bodyguard to offer her condolences. She couldn't let Xi Ya see that they were suspicious of her.

"My prince, where do you think Xi Ya would hide her son?"

Liu Ruo Qing lowered her voice and said.

However, she could only force herself to calm down, and stare fixedly at Xi Ya, and continued, "Could it be that your highness has already been sent to Ye Man's hands?"

"Nope."

Yan Yuan answered with certainty, "It is already extremely risky for her to send the palace to bring Heng Er away, so the Kaiser immediately sent people to search the entire city. Other than the prince's mansion and the Grand Princess's mansion, all of the other residences must be searched.

"Then let's find an opportunity to scout out the Grand Princess Palace tonight."

Liu Ruo Qing was anxious, but at the same time, she did not care about her suggestion. She raised his foot and walked towards the mourning hall.

Seeing Yan Yuan coming over, Xi Ya's eyes lit up. After that, she called out in a choked voice, "Cousin."

Her expression looked very sad. This kind of grief from losing her loved ones, Liu Ruo Qing was really unable to imagine her still acting so lifelike after killing Xi Ya with her own hands.

She took several deep breaths before she managed to suppress the anger in her heart. She stood next to Yan Yuan without making a sound.

After they had gone up for the incense, Yan Yuan walked over to Xi Ya's side and knelt in front of her, comforting her gently, "You have my condolences. My cousin will find the person who killed Duo Ya and tear her into ten thousand pieces for Duo Ya to take revenge on."

When Yan Yuan said the four words "ten thousand pieces of flesh", Xi Ya's body trembled almost imperceptibly. Even though she had covered it up well, it was still impossible for his to escape Yan Yuan's eyes.

His eyes turned cold and his face still carried that expression of gentleness that Xi Ya was infatuated with. Seeing Xi Ya's red and swollen eyes looking at Yan Yuan, his voice became choked with sobs. "Thank you very much, Cousin."

Tears rolled down from the bottom of Xi Ya's eyes, glistening like pearls. Those eyes looked at Yan Yuan with some hope, as if he could see some pity for her from Yan Yuan's eyes.

At this time, Yan Yuan had already gotten up, both his hands behind his back, his handsome face revealing unconcealable worry.

Xi Ya lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment, she stood up, walked to Yan Yuan's side and said: "Cousin brother, are you worried about Heng Er?"

Yan Yuan looked at her and nodded, "Mn, he is this king's son. If there is someone who can save him from Ye Man's hands, this king will do anything."

However, Liu Ruo Qing understood Yan Yuan, he was not a person who was willing to reveal her feelings, especially in front of a woman like Xi Ya who was like a snake and scorpion. Just listening to her, Liu Ruo Qing understood Yan Yuan's intentions.

Immediately, he walked in front of Yan Yuan, and said with a stern and serious expression: "My prince, since Ye Man indicated that I wanted to exchange for my son, then you can agree to it. This little one is just a servant, as long as I can change my son, this little one's death is not worthy of regret."

Xi Ya naturally wished for Yan Yuan to exchange them for young son s, but when he heard Yan Yuan say "I'll do anything" earlier, she was both excited and excited. This was a good opportunity that she had seized on his cousin, so she couldn't just let it go like this.

At once, he opened his mouth and said: "Cousin, Ye Man is an extremely savage and cruel person, even if you exchange him with the Bull Guard, he might not be willing to let Heng Er back, why not wait for Ye Man's men to pass the message to me, then I can think of a safer method?"

How could she give this opportunity of gaining good impressions in front of her cousin to the asexual little guard?

Seeing Yan Yuan frown, his face had a tinge of worry, "Are you sure Ye Man's people will send you more information?"
