C978 978 bad news

The empress dowager also nodded with a smile, agreeing with Yan Shuo's suggestion. After that, she looked at Yan Shuo and said, "You're only worried about the matters regarding your royal uncles.

The empress dowager's words caused the smile on Yan Shuo's face to be instantly retracted. It was clear that he was unwilling to bring up this matter.

"You've already passed on such a long time ago already, you can't possibly plan to never marry anyone because of her, right? You are the Kaiser. "

That's right, he is the Kaiser …

Yan Shuo smiled bitterly in his heart. It was because he was a Kaiser that he could not do things that others could.

"Imperial Mother, let's talk about this in the future. This Emperor will consider it."

He did not dare to say that he would never marry for Rong Er's sake. To a Kaiser, he knew that it was unrealistic.

When the empress dowager saw that Yan Shuo had let his guard down, she finally heaved a sigh of relief. However, she still said, "No matter what, Xun Er needs a mother."

Yan Shuo nodded, he understood the Empress Dowager's meaning.

Although Yan Xun was the eldest son, the First Queen was already dead. Furthermore, he was too young to always be raised under the empress dowager's wing.

If Xun Er could...

Yan Shuo did not continue his train of thoughts.

Even though Lu Yuan He had always been taking care of him, and the royal eldest son was past the age of one, the poison in his body was hard to determine. It was unknown whether he could even survive until he reached adulthood.

Just when the entire imperial court was brimming with joy, a shocking piece of news arrived —

The eighth prince was plotted to the point of unconsciousness on the way back to the capital.

"How could this be?"

Inside King Jing Palace, when Yan Yuan and Liu Ruo Qing found out about this news, they were also extremely shocked.

"Could it be the people from the Nanling or the xieqing?"

Liu Ruo Qing frowned, looked at Yan Yuan, and asked.

Yan Yuan's face was gloomy, he shook his head: "The possibility isn't high."

"The Nanling is currently in Qin Xuan's hands, there's no reason for him to send people to assassinate Eighth Brother. However, the ones that Qin Mu Huai hates the most right now are Qin Xuan and Qin Yuxin, and there's even less reason to go against Eighth Brother."

Similarly, it was impossible for the xieqing to do the same.

Liu Cheng He took the initiative to send out the troops because she had listened to Qin Mu Huai's suggestion, and now she was probably scared, and did not dare to take action against Eighth Brother at such a critical time.

"Besides the people from the xieqing and the Nanling, who else would want to make a move against eighth brother?"

Eighth brother and Tian Xin's marriage was not going smoothly. Every time eighth brother was about to get married, there would always be something that delayed him. This time, it was even more serious, eighth brother was actually ambushed.

"I'll first ask the palace for the details."

"Okay, I will go to Prince Lu's Mansion to take a look at Tian Xin."

Right now, Tian Xin was afraid that she was in chaos.

The couple left King Jing Palace separately. When Yan Yuan entered the palace, inside the imperial study, a few inner court ministers were discussing with the Kaiser about the assassination attempt on Yan Jue.

Upon seeing Yan Yuan, all of them bowed to him.

Yan Yuan nodded his head, walked to Yan Shuo and asked: "Have you caught the assassin?"

Yan Shuo's face was gloomy, his expression dark and ugly: "I caught it, I committed suicide by consuming poison."

Hearing that, Yan Yuan's brows twitched, his expression becoming gloomy: "Seems like he's a Death Soldier."

"The most important thing is to first do my best to save the eighth prince, and then send someone to protect the Sixth Prince. From my point of view, the eighth prince shouldn't be the only target of this mission."

The one who spoke was the Prime Minister Wang Shi, and when he said those words, everyone agreed with him.

The recent actions of the eighth prince were all taken together by the Sixth Prince. If something were to happen to the eighth prince because of this, the Sixth Prince would also be unable to escape.

"Sixth Brother has a lot of hidden guards by his side. With the protection of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets, he should be fine."

Yan Yuan calmly opened his mouth and comforted Yan Shuo and the rest of the officials.

At this moment, even he could not figure out who assassinated Yan Jue, nor could he understand the reason behind their assassination.

Prince Lu's Mansion —

When Liu Ruo Qing went to the Prince Lu's Mansion, he heard that Liu Tian Xin had isolated herself and locked herself in the courtyard so that no one could see him.

When she went in, she saw Liu Tian Xin sitting on the bed with both knees in hand and a thin outer garment wrapped around her body. Her eyes were red and swollen, it was obvious that she had been crying for a long time.

When she saw Liu Ruo Qing coming in, she slowly moved her body and barely smiled at him.

"Ruo Qing."

Her voice was very hoarse, and her entire person had lost all of its vitality. It was as if all of her life force had been sucked away in an instant.

Liu Ruo Qing walked over, sat down beside her, and lightly patted her trembling back, saying: "Don't worry, eighth brother is only unconscious, he will be fine."

She also didn't know what she could say to comfort Liu Tian Xin. She knew that no matter what she said, Liu Tian Xin was just too pale in front of her.

She clearly remembered that when she found out that Yan Yuan was plotting to take the sea bandits back home, and that her current state of mind, that fear and despair, could not be resolved with just a few words of comfort.

Liu Tian Xin looked at Liu Ruo Qing for a long time, and then bit on the corner of her mouth, looking somewhat bitter and bitter. She tried to smile at Liu Ruo Qing, but the corners of her mouth were forced open, and she found it even uglier than crying.

After a long while, Liu Ruo Qing finally said to him, "Ruo Qing, tell me … Could it be that even the heavens think that I am not worthy of Yan Jue, so, every time we prepare to get married, something will always happen? "

The first time was when she was almost burnt to death by Liu Cheng He in the palace. She turned around to return to Yan Jue's side, and for some reason, delayed her wedding several times.

This time, she thought that everything was over. As long as Yan Jue returned to the capital, she would be able to marry him.

What came back was the news of him being heavily injured and unconscious. No one knew when he would never wake up.

Thinking of this, the tears in Liu Tian Xin's eyes started to fall uncontrollably.

When Liu Ruo Qing heard her words, her heart suddenly tightened. He knew that ever since the incident with Liu Tian Xin, he had become a lot more pessimistic due to her disfigured appearance.

If not for eighth brother's constant efforts and persistence in this relationship, they might have broken off a long time ago.

Now that such a thing had happened, Liu Tian Xin was even more vulnerable. She would think that she had implicated Yan Jue.

"What nonsense are you talking about? When I was with Yan Yuan, a lot of things also happened, isn't everything alright now?"
