C934 934 At the orders of the Ninth Prince

Qi Feng's words caused Liu Ruo Qing to regain her senses from her regret, and only now did she remember the reason she had called Qi Feng over to the side.

After hesitating for a moment, she decided to speak up. Her expression turned serious as she asked, "You like Peach Blossom Princess?"

When he said that, Qi Feng's face immediately changed, even the expression on his face that was usually calm in front of an army of thousands, could no longer remain calm.

He immediately denied it and said, "Princess, why do you think this way? This subordinate definitely does not have that intention!"

Liu Ruo Qing saw that it was rare for Qi Feng to be so anxious about matters other than for Yan Yuan, so he was even more sure of himself.

She was not one who liked to meddle in other people's business, but unfortunately, he could not like Xia Tao Hua.

Xia Tao Hua was Yan Yuan's, so he could only be Yan Yuan's.

Liu Ruo Qing hardened her heart, looked at Qi Feng, and said: "I don't care if you admit it or not, Peach Blossom Princess, is the future wife of the King Jing, she wants to marry your master."

Qi Feng's expression changed slightly. His eyebrows creased and he said with an awestruck expression, "This subordinate knows that this subordinate definitely does not have any presumptuous thoughts."

Hearing the resolute and determined tone, Liu Ruo Qing however heard a bit of faint hoarseness in her tone.

Liu Ruo Qing felt guilty. She knew that she had gone overboard with what she had said to Qi Feng just now, but …

She secretly shook her head as she looked at Qi Feng and said, "It's good that you understand."

With that, she turned and left. Qi Feng watched Liu Ruo Qing's back as she left, her eyes becoming gloomy, and then, he turned and left, his straight back view carrying a sense of desolation.

Liu Ruo Qing returned to her room and retracted the guilt she felt towards Qi Feng. She looked up to see Yan Yuan sitting on the bed, looking straight at her.

Seeing that he had changed his coat, he could not help but ask, "Why did you change your clothes?"

"That's a bit tight. It's not comfortable wearing it."

Yan Yuan casually made up a reason as he said that. Previously, when she punched him, his wound opened up a huge hole. He didn't dare let her know about it, so he tricked her out.

Hearing his words, Liu Ruo Qing did not doubt him at all. Thinking back to the conversation she had with Xia Tao Hua in the flower garden, the things that she had inadvertently mentioned reminded her of something.

She walked to Yan Yuan's side and sat down. She looked at Yan Yuan and smiled slightly.

He was clearly such a gentle and young girl, but Yan Yuan felt that he was in danger.

Especially her smiling face that made him feel like there was a hidden dagger in her smile, it made Yan Yuan even more nervous.

Reaching out, he held Liu Ruo Qing's hand tightly in her palm, and asked: What is it?

Seeing Liu Ruo Qing's squinted eyes, the smile on her face became wider, and with a hint of flirtatiousness, she blew on's ear lightly, the hot air was like a bewitching medicine, causing Yan Yuan's body to become hot in an instant.

His body stiffened as well, knowing that the woman in front of him was smiling maliciously. He suppressed the urge beneath him and waited for her to speak.

"Did you already know that the Bull Guard was me?"

With that, the charming look on her face disappeared as she looked at him with a stern expression.

At that time, she felt that it was strange, Yan Yuan didn't seem to be a person who was obsessed with the art of breaking sleeves, why did he have to treat her, a little guard, flirtatiously?

Back then, he had said, "It doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman. It's fine as long as it's you." She wondered what it meant for a long time. Now that she thought about it, he should have known it was her from the time she had fainted from her injuries.

Therefore, every time, his attitude towards her was extremely ambiguous, and he almost made her think that he was really in love with a man.

He could only blame himself for being too confident in that human skin mask. Actually, when he thought about it, when she had fainted, Yan Yuan would have a lot of chances to suspect her.

Where did she get this confidence that Yan Yuan wouldn't be able to notice her?

Yet, this fellow, even though he knew it was her, he still refused to admit to it. Yet, he still scared her to the point that she felt as though her life was about to disappear. He was simply going too far!

Hearing her question, Yan Yuan's expression froze. Then, he smiled, obviously tacitly agreeing to Liu Ruo Qing's guess.

"Yan Yuan!"

Liu Ruo Qing was so angry that her hair stood on end, she extended her hand out wanting to pinch Yan Yuan's arm, but she dodged the attack by a step.

When she was glaring at him in anger, he turned around and hugged her to his chest. He whispered into her ear, "Didn't you also lie to me?"

Liu Ruo Qing wanted to refute him, but in the end, she could not refute him at all.

Although she had kept her identity a secret because she didn't want him to know about her illness, she still lied to him, and even made him suffer.

When he thought about this, Liu Ruo Qing's anger disappeared and was replaced with an apologetic expression.

Lifting his eyes to look at Yan Yuan, he opened his mouth to say something, but his opened lips were blocked by Yan Yuan's which had instantly fallen down.

However, after a while, he released her. His deep eyes locked her eyes seriously and seriously, and said: "Qing Er, let's not split up anymore. It's really too difficult for me to bear this kind of separation."

These last words, contained a tinge of choked up sobs. Although it was not very obvious, Liu Ruo Qing could hear it.

Originally, she wanted to say that her current illness would eventually separate her from him. However, when she saw the pleading look in his deep eyes, the words that were about to reach her mouth were forcefully swallowed back down.

"Alright."

She looked at him and nodded heavily, giving him a quick smile.

As long as they could be together, that was how long they would be together. For the rest of the days, it would be better to be happy with him and wait for his death with a bitter face.

Thinking about it this way, Liu Ruo Qing felt much more relaxed in her heart.

On the other side, the Grand Preceptor Pang that the young man threw halfway down the road that day walked all the way south, wanting to contact Ye Man.

Ye Man was cunning and meticulous. He clearly knew that at this time, the people of the imperial government were chasing after him, he would definitely not meet the Grand Preceptor Pang easily.

Even though Yan Xiao's men had followed him secretly, Ye Man had never come out to meet him.

Jindu, Prince Rui's Palace.

"This Ye Man is really careful."

Hearing the news that came from the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, Yan Xiao smiled meaningfully. With his fingertip, he knocked on the table and after pondering for a moment, he asked: "What's the situation with the Ninth Prince?"

"The Ninth Prince and his men are currently at Huiyang City's County Magistrate area. On the day they entered the city, they met night gate's number one assassin, An Yu. The Ninth Prince was injured, but he isn't too injured."

Hearing this, Yan Xiao's face slightly changed. His brows slightly furrowed, and after a moment, he said: "Have our people stay there to protect the Ninth Prince, and listen to his orders."

"Yes."

"Also, make those people keep an eye on Grand Preceptor Pang. If Ye Man's Gu worms are left in the Grand Preceptor's estate, he will meet them sooner or later. Don't let them down."
