Xia Tao Hua merely shook his head, and laughed lightly: "I'm fine, I heard that Bull Guard saved the crown prince from heavy injuries, and that I need to rest more."
"I thank the princess for her concern, I understand." I'll take my leave. "
After she finished speaking, she hurriedly turned around and rushed back to her own residence. After she had walked far away, Xia Tao Hua's brows knitted once again.
"Strange …"
She repeated the words.
Yan Yuan had been in the palace the entire day. When he returned to the Duke Palaces, it was already the time to use the Evening meal.
The place Xia Tao Hua lived at was arranged to be next to the main courtyard because of his intentions. Originally, it had caused the woman who didn't care about him to feel the same way, but in the end, after being stuck here for an entire day, the heartless guy was unmoved.
Yan Yuan's face darkened. He sat in the east yard for a while, then stared at the door that was separated the main yard and side courtyard for quite a while, suppressing the impulse to go find her, he got up and walked out of the courtyard. Originally, he planned to go to his study to take care of official business, but right at the entrance of the courtyard, he met Xia Tao Hua who was looking for him.
Yan Yuan was not a person who had patience to deal with women, other than Liu Ruo Qing, who was an exception to this rule in front of him. Therefore, when Xia Tao Hua took the initiative to look for him, she did not reveal any expression other than calmness.
As for why Yan Yuan had accepted her in front of so many people, or even why he had invited her to stay in the King Jing Palace, she still couldn't understand.
"Peach Blossom greets Your Highness."
Yan Yuan's expression was cold, but Xia Tao Hua did not do anything out of line, adding that he was the one who let her stay in the King Jing Palace, he did his best to act as the host, and asked: "Are you used to Princess staying in the King Jing Palace?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, the palace is very good. Peach Blossom thanks Your Highness."
Xia Tao Hua took a look at Yan Yuan's expression. He was not at all friendly with his, and was completely different from the man who was always attentive towards her.
She was very confident in her looks, but it was only in front of Yan Yuan that she did not have any confidence.
She knew that Yan Yuan was different from other men who couldn't even move their legs when they saw her. Therefore, she never expected herself to rely on her face to get what she wanted from Yan Yuan.
After thinking for a while, before Yan Yuan took his leave, Xia Tao Hua spoke hesitantly, "Your Highness, Peach Blossom has something to ask Your Highness.
"What is it?"
Yan Yuan's expression was still faint, cold and distant.
"Today, the peach blossoms met the Bull Guard in the garden."
When she mentioned Liu Ruo Qing, Yan Yuan's expression had slightly changed a little. As Xia Tao Hua's entire attention was on his face, it was natural for her to catch his expression.
In her heart, she was more certain of her guess from before.
The King Jing did seem to care a lot about the Bull Guard, but this knowledge gave her a little more confidence in her plan in her heart.
"What did you say?"
He was truly curious what thoughts and actions that ungrateful fellow would have when he directly faced Xia Tao Hua.
"It's nothing much, I just exchanged greetings. When Bull Guard left, he had a lot of nosebleed."
She discovered that Yan Yuan's face had become a little pale. She was a little surprised, but it also seemed to be within reason.
On Yan Yuan's face, it was obvious that he wasn't as calm as before. He extended his hand and grabbed Xia Tao Hua's arm, causing her to frown from the pain.
"You said she had a nosebleed?"
In Xia Tao Hua's eyes, there was a trace of an unexpected tremble in his voice. This did not seem like the kind of expression a cold and distant person should have in front of someone else.
Even if Bull Guard saved young son, he would be worried, and would care about it. However, it shouldn't cause him to have such a terrified expression.
Xia Tao Hua seemed to have discovered something incredible, he was shocked, but immediately after, he was secretly happy.
The King Jing only cared about the Bull Guard, it was a good thing for her.
At least, she now had the qualifications to exchange conditions with the King Jing.
She saw the panic in Yan Yuan's eyes and nodded. Just as he was about to leave, she said: "Peach Blossom has something that requires Your Highness to clarify. I hope that Your Highness …"
"This King is not free."
With that said, he went around her and quickly headed towards Liu Ruo Qing's courtyard.
This time, although Liu Ruo Qing's nose was bleeding, it quickly stopped. When Yan Yuan came in, she had already recovered and was sitting in the courtyard, thinking about Yan Yuan and Xia Tao Hua.
Seeing Yan Yuan coming in from outside with an ugly expression, she was surprised for a moment and quickly stood up, "Wang …"
"You've got another nosebleed?"
Without waiting for her to speak, Yan Yuan had already snatched her words and asked.
Liu Ruo Qing was startled, seeing the panic lingering in Yan Yuan's eyes, she was startled, but after that she laughed relaxed: "Just a little, it will be gone very quickly."
She thought that Xia Tao Hua should have told him. After all, only Xia Tao Hua had seen her bleeding nose today.
How could Yan Yuan still remember how he was angry at her? He went up and pulled her to sit on the chair, and asked with a trembling voice, "Is the Mr. Lu's medicine useless?"
Ever since Mr. Lu gave her that bottle of medicine, he had not seen her get sick before. There were even a few times when he tried to deceive himself, thinking that what if she was cured by the Mr. Lu's medicine?
However, Mr. Lu had told him in private that all diseases were resistant to medicine, and if she was to bleed through his nose again, that meant that his medicine was no longer effective against her disease.
At that time, he still carried a trace of hope and hope, and his Qing Er might have been an exception.
If she could survive falling off a cliff, then what did that illness count for?
However, the heavens had still played a joke on him. Even if Qing Er returned to his side, she would still ruthlessly snatch her away.
Liu Ruo Qing was about to answer Yan Yuan's question, but when she saw the grief in Yan Yuan's eyes, she was unable to speak the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
"Maybe it's been dry recently. Besides having a nosebleed, I don't have any other discomfort."
She hid the fact that she almost fainted last night, and said to Yan Yuan with a relaxed expression.
Yan Yuan looked at her without speaking a word, a faint sense of sorrow and powerlessness appearing in the depths of his eyes that Liu Ruo Qing was extremely familiar with.
It was as if he had a heartless and dispirited feeling, especially those gloomy eyes. He looked at her, as if he was looking at a person he was once familiar with.
The bottom of Liu Ruo Qing's heart suddenly sank. At the same time, she also panicked a little, she was too familiar with Yan Yuan's gaze.
He looked at his former self with such a gaze. To her, such a gaze could not be any more familiar.
Her hand, hanging at her side, tightened almost imperceptibly. Did he already know her?
