C885 885 Face behind Mask

Yan Shuo stood in the hall and was quiet for a moment, then suddenly said: "Who do you think made Ninth Imperial Uncle so nervous?"

In his memory, other than the deceased Ninth Aunt, there was no one else who would cause such a ruckus.

Wang De was startled for a few seconds, he recalled Yan Yuan's look just now, and said thoughtfully: "He should be a very important person to the Ninth Prince, right?"

Yan Shuo glared at him unhappily. "Are you wasting your breath on us?"

With that, he turned around and went back to bed.

To make the Ninth Imperial Uncle reveal such a begging expression and kowtow so hard on the Kaiser, if he wasn't someone who was as important as his life, he probably wouldn't do such a thing.

At this time, Yan Shuo actually hoped that there would be someone who could open his heart and allow his royal uncle to live again. He also hoped that this thousand year old snow ginseng would be able to save that person's life tonight.

Inside the King Jing Palace, Lu Yuan He looked at the Thousand Year Snow Ginseng that Yan Yuan had given to him, and felt that it was somewhat inconceivable.

In such a short amount of time, he had already gotten the Snow Ginseng. Other than this person, no one else would be able to do it.

"I've given you the Snow Ginseng. This King does not care what method you use, you must save her life!"

Yan Yuan's voice was still trembling.

"Yes."

At this time, Lu Yuan He did not dare to say anything, he was afraid that his uncertain answer would drive him crazy.

Lu Yuan He took out the Snow Ginseng from the box. It was only the size of a finger, but it was already priceless, and the fact that the Emperor gave such a ginseng to the Prince without any hesitation showed the importance he placed on the King.

He cut the Snow Ginseng into ten pieces, and after that, he took one piece and placed it by Liu Ruo Qing's mouth, for her to take.

"My lord, these ten snow ginseng will be kept in Bull Guard's mouth for ten days. If Bull Guard can awaken in ten days, then his life will be saved."

Yan Yuan looked down at the remaining nine snow ginsengs, and after a while, said: "Leave it to me."

"Yes."

"All of you can leave now."

"Yes."

The guards outside the door all retreated, leaving only Yan Yuan and Liu Ruo Qing in the room.

After everyone had left, Yan Yuan returned to the bedside and looked at the unconscious person on the bed. That red cheeks that didn't make sense stung his eyes.

He slowly crouched down beside her and gently caressed her face. It was so cold that there wasn't even the slightest bit of warmth. It was as if the person in front of him had truly died.

His fingers were trembling slightly, slowly reaching behind her ears, a thin layer of skin rose up behind her ears, causing Yan Yuan's entire body to tremble. After that, the human skin mask was slowly removed from his hands.

Throughout the entire process, Yan Yuan's hands trembled violently, hoping to see that face. However, he was afraid of the expectations later on, and what brought him even more despair.

It was merely a period of time to reveal his face, yet it gave Yan Yuan the illusion that he had experienced a thousand years. Until the moment his human skin mask was completely removed, the face that was revealed, which was seemingly devoid of any blood, was revealed.

His face was lying quietly in front of him, devoid of any signs of life.

Yan Yuan quietly stared at his face for a long time without moving. Two streams of tears fell from his eyes, there was gratitude, there was love, and there was hesitation.

His hand gently cupped Liu Ruo Qing's face, and he was so thin that he could touch every corner of her face. Her palms were ice-cold on her cheeks, and he didn't even dare to use too much strength, as if he feared that he would hurt her.

He looked at her without blinking, as if he was admiring a lost treasure, as if she would disappear if he blinked once.

It was as if a long time had passed before he finally bent down with a face full of piety. He kissed her deeply on the lips. "It's fine, it's fine. It's fine as long as you come back. It's fine as you come back …"

He held her hand, unwilling to let go or fall asleep. Everything in front of him was not real, just like a reflection in a mirror. It was clearly in front of him, but the moment he touched it, it would disappear.

Just like that, he stayed with her all night, feeling her faint breath. As long as he listened to her breathing, he would be satisfied.

The sky gradually brightened, yet the people in the King Jing Palace were extremely nervous. The guards of the King Jing Palace didn't move an inch away from the ground, protecting the young son that they had finally found.

I heard that last night, Bull Guard went out with the Prince to search for the whereabouts of the Crown Prince.

Because it was only the beginning of the new year, and it was only the third day of the new year, the atmosphere of the New Year was very strong. The servants in the Duke Palaces had to wait until the seventh day of the new year before they could return to the Duke Palaces.

Yan Jue had heard early in the morning that the young son had been rescued, and last night, Yan Yuan barged into the palace in the middle of the night and asked the Kaiser for a thousand year Snow Ginseng to replenish his life.

"Eighth Prince."

"Where's your Prince? What happened last night?" "Your prince asked the emperor for a Snow Ginseng. Who is it he wants to save?"

He had heard from the servants of the Chengde Palace that Ninth Brother had recklessly barged into the Chengde Palace and kowtowed to the Emperor.

Although Yan Shuo was a Kaiser, he could naturally accept the idea of kowtowing to a Kaiser.

Ever since Kaiser ascended the throne, it was the first time last night that he bowed so deeply to the Kaiser. This made Yan Jue even more certain that those who needed Xue Can's life must be very important to Old Jiu.

"Did something happen to Heng Er?"

The only person he could think of besides Ruo Qing, the only person that could cause his brother to lose control was his son who was born with Ruo Qing.

It was also because of this that Yan Jue was unable to remain calm, his face dark, and his heart heavy.

Liu Tian Xin came with Yan Jue, and she heard about it early in the morning. She was also worried that something had happened to the young son, which made her unable to stay in the Prince Lu's Mansion without worry, hence she followed Yan Jue to the King Jing Palace.

Heng Er was the only child that Ruo Qing had left behind, so she didn't want anything to happen to him either.

"No, it's not young son, it's … It's the Bull Guard. "

Hearing that, Yan Jue's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he looked at Housekeeper Xu in shock, "Xiao Niu?"

Housekeeper Xu frowned, his expression became serious as he nodded, "Bull Guard, he … He … For the sake of the young son, they said that all his meridians were broken and that he had lost all his martial arts. Now that his life is at stake, even Xue Can would not be able to keep him alive. "

Liu Tian Xin, who was at the side, felt a pain in his heart when she heard this news. It was as if someone had stabbed him in the heart with a blunt instrument.

"I never thought that the brat would actually be able to do this for Heng Er …"
