"Yes."
Xi Ya nodded her head affirmatively, "Cousin, the silk that Ye Man sent over only mentioned the request to have the Bull Guard exchange with Heng Er, but she did not mention the specific exchange method and time and place. As long as we agree to it, I will think of a way to find out where Heng Er is, and then we can bring Heng Er back safely."
Seeing Yan Yuan's lowered eyes, he looked to be deep in thought, as if he was pondering over the feasibility of Xi Ya's suggestion.
Xi Ya looked at Yan Yuan in anticipation. She firmly believed that as long as she could bring that little bastard back to her cousin, her cousin would definitely have a whole new level of respect for her.
However, if her Master wanted this Niu's life, she had to think of a way to help her Master accomplish it.
She had originally planned to let the little bastard die completely, but now she felt that perhaps it was a good thing for her that the little bastard was still alive. At the very least, she could win the favor of her cousin through the little bastard.
Seeing Yan Yuan turn to look at her, there was a trace of hesitation in his eyes, "If I let Ye Man know that you're playing some tricks, and that he's even more unfavorable towards Heng Er, what should I do?"
Xi Ya really hoped that Yan Yuan would believe in him, in order to make Yan Yuan believe in himself, she said to Yan Yuan: "Cousin, believe in me, I am a seedling, I understand Ye Man a little more than any of you. Don't worry, I will guarantee Heng Er's safety, if Heng Er is missing a hair, I will let you punish me as you wish."
A faint, undetectable smile appeared in Yan Yuan's eyes. What he wanted was precisely this sentence from Xi Ya.
"Then I will leave this matter to you. If you can bring Heng Er's safety belt back, then whatever you want, I will give it to you."
"Really?"
Xi Ya was so excited by her words that she almost forgot that she was Duo Ya's spirit hall. She almost laughed out loud, but then realised that her reaction was abnormal, she immediately retracted the smile and said to Yan Yuan: "Cousin, don't say it like that, Heng Er is my nephew, I am worried about him too."
"Yes."
Yan Yuan nodded his head lightly, suppressing the impatience in his heart. He endured the infatuation in Xi Ya's eyes as he looked at him and said to her: "A guest is coming, I won't bother you anymore."
Even if Xi Ya wanted to keep Yan Yuan here to chat, she knew that this was not the right place to do so. She was a little disappointed, but she still nodded her head: "Alright, cousin brother, do as you please."
After leaving the mourning hall, Liu Ruo Qing immediately walked to Yan Yuan's side and asked anxiously: "Your Highness, do you believe in her?"
"From her reaction, you can tell that Heng Er is most likely in her hands."
Yan Yuan glanced at her, a cold smile hanging from the corner of his mouth, "Did you forget what she promised me just now?"
Liu Ruo Qing was startled, and then she remembered what Xi Ya had said. She dared to guarantee it in front of Yan Yuan, which meant that she was certain that she could guarantee Heng Er's safety.
If Heng Er was in Ye Man's hands, she might not even dare to make such a guarantee, but if it was in her own hands …
Liu Ruo Qing's eyes instantly lit up, "That is to say, she definitely won't hurt Crown Prince, and she won't even let anyone else hurt him?"
"Yes."
Yan Yuan saw the joy blooming in her eyes, and his heart skipped a beat, and then turned his gaze away.
Liu Ruo Qing recalled the way Xi Ya looked at him, and that passionate attitude of her, and she sighed in her heart. With so many rotten peach blossoms, it wasn't really a bad thing.
Men were like women, there were always benefits to looking good. It was obvious that Xi Ya had already forgotten about the important matters because of her confusion.
This made Liu Ruo Qing think of the You Miao at the beginning of last year. Thinking back now, it seemed that the bad guys were all related to Yan Yuan's face as a "disaster".
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.
After confirming that his son could temporarily be safe, Liu Ruo Qing's tense heart finally calmed down a little.
Yan Yuan seemed to have sensed that there was something wrong with the person beside him, he looked over, and saw her lowered eyes, his lips had a faint smile, and for some reason, he felt that he was laughing at him.
His eyes darkened as he coldly asked, "What are you laughing about?"
Liu Ruo Qing's smile, upon hearing Yan Yuan's words, was immediately retracted, and looked at Yan Yuan, seeing that he did not have any sort of anger on his face, he laughed: "This little one just suddenly remembered, Royal Highness, could you be considered to have played a trick on a beauty?"
Hearing her words, Yan Yuan's face immediately darkened, but he did not refute her.
"This King has gotten used to you getting bolder."
As he coldly said this, his footsteps quickened.
They did not leave the Grand Princess Mansion, and took the chance while Xi Ya was in the spirit hall to go to the backyard, trying to find the whereabouts of the young son, but they could not find any clues even after searching the entire Grand Princess Mansion.
Disappointed, he could only return to the palace.
"Your Highness, could it be that we guessed wrongly that the young son is not hidden in the Princess's Mansion?"
"Probably not."
Yan Yuan frowned, and shook his head, "The Grand Princess Palace is so huge, we must have overlooked something."
The two of them walked towards the Eastern Courtyard. Liu Ruo Qing naturally followed along, and didn't find anything amiss.
After entering the Eastern Courtyard, Yan Yuan continued, "Since Xi Ya has assured me of Heng Er's safety, she will definitely find an opportunity to visit Heng Er. I'll pay a visit to the Grand Princess Palace again tonight."
"I also want to go."
Liu Ruo Qing followed.
Yan Yuan frowned, looking at how Liu Ruo Qing raised her request so naturally, she did not look like she was a servant at all.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at her, and said snappily: "It seems that Qin Xuan has gotten used to you too much, you seem to have forgotten what kind of identity you have?"
How could a guard so easily make a request to his master?
Liu Ruo Qing was startled, she wanted to retort that it had something to do with Qin Xuan, but then she realised that her current identity was Qin Xuan's bodyguard.
She was used to being in front of him. Naturally, as time passed, she would habitually reveal her true nature.
After thinking for a bit, Liu Ruo Qing hurriedly lowered her head and admitted her mistake, "This humble one knows my wrongs, it's just that this humble one is too worried about the young son.
After she finished speaking, she looked up at Yan Yuan in anticipation. Yan Yuan could not stand her gaze the most, and every time they met, his heart would involuntarily ache for his.
On his body, he saw far too many shadows of Qing Er but unfortunately, his man's body, completely broke all of his hopes.
He knew that there was something wrong with him during this period of time. He tried his best to avoid having too much contact with him, and in this world, it didn't matter if it was a man or a woman. There shouldn't be anyone who could replace Qing Er.
