C919 919 Chase him out of the capital

However, there was no way he could exchange Qing Er's life for it.

"I said, I will think of a way to deal with this. You don't need to care about anything else."

With a cold expression, he stopped Liu Ruo Qing from speaking further and quickly left. He was afraid that if he was one step too slow, Liu Ruo Qing would change his mind.

"Your Highness! "Your Highness!"

Liu Ruo Qing called out to him anxiously a few times, but Yan Yuan did not even turn his head back.

She bit her lower lip and was silent for a long time. Then she turned around and went back to her own yard.

The next day.

"Bull Guard, where are you going this early in the morning? It's going to be dangerous outside, so you shouldn't go out casually."

Just as Liu Ruo Qing walked to the door, he was stopped by the butler.

Liu Ruo Qing frowned, it was already past half time, Yan Yuan had not been to the imperial court for long, and wanted to take advantage of Yan Yuan's absence to rush to Huiyang City to see what the situation was like there.

If she was stopped by the steward, not only would she be unable to go out today, but she might not be able to.

"I've been staying in the mansion recently and I'm feeling a bit bored. Fortunately, it's still early, and there aren't many people on the streets. I want to go out and take a walk."

She replied very frankly, especially so that the butler and the servants would not see that she was leaving. When she left the house, she had some silver notes with her, and she had nothing else with her.

However, because of the matter with the Huiyang City, the people of the Jindu were all panicking. If the Bull Guard were to meet with some mishaps outside, he would not be able to explain himself to the Prince.

Liu Ruo Qing saw the difficulty in his eyes and laughed: "Butler, have you never heard, that those monsters are afraid of me?"

The butler was stunned. Indeed, he had not heard of this matter before. Or rather, he did not know why the bodyguards of the Prince of Nanling would always stay by the side of the Prince.

The reason why I came to the capital with the Prince Jing is because I received orders from the King to help him deal with those monsters. So, don't worry, even if monsters are standing in front of me, they will not dare to attack me.

So that was the case. No wonder …

The butler understood, and did not doubt Liu Ruo Qing's explanation at all.

"Then Bull Guard, please be careful when you go out. Don't wander around for too long, you've exhausted your body."

Everyone in the Duke Palaces knew about the illness in the Bull Guard. How could he walk for too long?

"Yeah, I know. I'll be back soon."

Seeing the Housekeeper Xu loosen his mouth, Liu Ruo Qing secretly heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Following him, he quickly walked out the door, and headed straight towards the city gate.

Yan Yuan returned to the Duke Palaces after leaving the court. Something seemed to be hanging in his heart, making him anxious and uneasy.

When he returned to the east yard, he glanced at the courtyard where Liu Ruo Qing was staying. In the next second, he seemed to have thought of something and his heart skipped a beat. He quickened his steps and rushed towards the direction of the residence.

The courtyard was empty. Normally, Liu Ruo Qing would be lying on her deck chair in the sun, but there would be no one there.

He panicked, and clenched his fist that was hidden under his sleeve.

He turned around and ran out of the yard, shouting harshly, "Butler!"

Recently, it was rare for Yan Yuan to lose control of his emotions like this. Hearing Yan Yuan calling his butler, he rushed over with a nervous expression, "Your Highness."

"Where is she?"

Ye Zichen pointed at the yard behind him with his fingertips. The sharp expression on his face made people involuntarily shiver.

"Bull Guard said that it was too boring in the manor, and he wanted to go out and stroll around the streets. He would be back soon, and this old servant saw that he was in good spirits, so he did not stop him."

Yan Yuan knew that the butler was not someone who was too careless. He had not instructed her before to not go out.

She could trick the butler into staying without packing his luggage. If he had only gone out for a stroll, he would have returned a long time ago.

Yan Yuan really did understand Liu Ruo Qing. When he entered Liu Ruo Qing's room, leaving behind all the luggage, he confirmed his guess.

Coming out of the yard, he called to the butler, "Prepare the horse."

Following that, he went to Xia Tao Hua's courtyard. That anxious look of his caused Xia Tao Hua, who was silently reading in the courtyard, to jump in fright. Instinctively, he thought of Bull Guard.

The moment Yan Yuan came over, he immediately grabbed her wrist. His expression was terrifyingly cold, "Come with me to the capital immediately."

"Prince, what happened?"

Yan Yuan simply did not have time to reply her. He dragged her out of the courtyard and headed towards the outside of the Duke Palace.

"Your Highness, the horses are ready."

Yan Yuan nodded and looked at the pale Xia Tao Hua, without showing any mercy at all, "Can you ride a horse?"

Xia Tao Hua held his chest and shook his head with much effort. Yan Yuan did not look at her again, and shouted towards the air, "Qi Feng!"

Very quickly, a tall Qi Feng dressed in green appeared in front of the two of them, "Your Highness."

Although Qi Feng was one of Yan Yuan's bodyguards, he was a martial general. In terms of status, although Xia Tao Hua was a princess of the Lantau Kingdom, he wasn't exactly married to Yan Yuan.

Therefore, Qi Feng merely nodded at her, and could be considered to have greeted her.

Yan Yuan had already jumped onto the horse, and said to him while turning his head: "Bring her to the horse."

As the sound of his voice faded, he already mounted his horse and left the capital city.

Qi Feng dumbfoundedly looked at his master who had disappeared in front of him like a gust of wind, and only regained his senses after a long while, then looked towards Xia Tao Hua who had a slightly haggard expression, and cupped his hands, "I apologize, Peach Blossom Princess."

With that, he jumped onto his horse, following that, he bent down and immediately pulled Xia Tao Hua's slender arm, and without caring about the generosity of a man and woman, following the sounds of rapid hoof steps, the two of them rode on top of one another and rushed out of the city gate.

The secret guards of the King Jing Palace who had followed Liu Ruo Qing out of the capital for a long time finally could not endure it any longer and showed themselves in front of Liu Ruo Qing.

When Liu Ruo Qing saw the few people in front of him, she was stunned at first, but after that, she was not surprised at all.

When she was still in the King Jing Palace in the past, Yan Yuan had often sent these few people to take care of her safety. Now that she no longer had any martial arts, and that Ye Man occasionally thought about taking her life, it wasn't strange for Yan Yuan to arrange a few secret guards around her.

Only, what she found strange was that Tian Shu and the others were Yan Yuan's people. She had left the capital for so long, yet she had not notified Yan Yuan.

Since they were in charge of protecting her close proximity, then they must know that Yan Yuan would not allow her to leave the capital.

Tian Shu didn't know that the Bull Guard was their Crown Princess Jing. The reason why no one went back to inform Yan Yuan along the way was because their Duke had instructed that no one was allowed to take even half a step outside of the Bull Guard.
