C979 Poison Eternal Rest

Liu Ruo Qing opened her mouth and comforted her: "You, don't think too much, didn't Mr. Lu rush over? "Maybe in a few days, you'll see a lively eighth brother."

Liu Tian Xin did not seem to take Liu Ruo Qing's words of comfort to heart, and continued, "Ruo Qing, to be honest, I have always felt that I should not be with Yan Jue. No matter if it's me or others, I know in my heart that I am not worthy of Yan Jue, but I cannot bear to part with him, so I have to find all kinds of excuses to stay by Yan Jue's side. "

As she said till here, she paused, and her eyes started getting moist, and her vision started to blur, "Let me tell myself, as long as Yan Jue loves me, what does it matter to others? As long as he loves me, not to mention his position as the main wife, even if it's a side concubine, concubine or even a lowly concubine, even if I don't have a name, I would still be willing to stay by his side, because … "Because I really can't bear to leave him …"

As he said that, Liu Tian Xin's voice became more and more choked with emotions.

"But, after so many things happened, I started to suspect that Yan Jue and I could not be together. Being together was against the rules of the heaven, that was why things happened time and time again before we got married. I was wondering, if I was together with him again, would I really cause his death?"

Hearing that, Liu Ruo Qing could not listen any longer, and immediately opened her mouth to stop her, "What are you thinking, this is a matter created out of nothing. The heavens are very busy, how could they have the time to care about the love between you two?"

She gave Liu Tian Xin a helpless look and said: "You also said that as long as eighth brother loves you, you would stay by his side.

What kind of person was Yan Jue? If he were to forcefully stay with Liu Tian Xin purely because he did not want to carry the blame, it was not something that Yan Jue would do.

If he really disliked Liu Tian Xin, he would have long since left her. Moreover, with his identity and face, in the eyes of the people, the disfigured Liu Tian Xin should not have been compatible with Yan Jue in the first place, and no one would scold him for abandoning her because of this.

Presumably, not only she, but even Liu Tian Xin herself could tell from Yan Jue's every word and action, whether he truly loved her or not.

Hearing Liu Ruo Qing's words, Liu Tian Xin laughed bitterly and pulled at the corner of her mouth. After a while, she said: "It's precisely because I'm too clear on this that I don't want to leave him."

"It's good that you know it, eighth brother loves you, you love him, that's enough. As for the other things that happened, they have nothing to do with you, don't think too much, just wait for eighth brother to come back."

Listening to Liu Ruo Qing's comforting, Liu Tian Xin nodded her head, but her eyebrows never relaxed.

She knew that at the moment, she shouldn't let others use their energy to comfort her. However, the moment she thought about how Yan Jue's injuries were currently severe and he still hadn't woken up, she couldn't help but think of everything that had happened in the past.

Liu Ruo Qing accompanied Liu Tian Xin for the whole afternoon and when she returned to King Jing Palace, it was already evening. Coincidentally, they met Yan Yuan at the entrance of the room who had just returned from the palace.

"How is it? Has there been any further news from the emperor about eighth brother? "

Seeing Yan Yuan, Liu Ruo Qing hurriedly walked forward and asked.

Yan Yuan shook his head, his eyebrows wrinkled extremely badly, "Although the assassin has already been caught, he has committed suicide."

Hearing that, Liu Ruo Qing also frowned, but she was not surprised, "Death Soldier?"

Only Death Soldiers would commit suicide after being caught, and those who were able to raise Death Soldiers were definitely not ordinary people.

"The mastermind has an idea?"

Yan Yuan still shook his head, thinking back to the outcome of the discussion just now. Yan Yuan frowned again, "Don't stand at the door, let's go in and then talk."

"Oh."

Liu Ruo Qing nodded, her heart revealing an expression of worry because she was worried about Yan Jue's situation.

Returning back to the Eastern Courtyard, Liu Ruo Qing looked at Yan Yuan impatiently and waited for his reply.

Yan Yuan recounted most of the discussions in the palace to Liu Ruo Qing once, and then added, "At the moment, we can only wait until eighth brother safely enters the capital."

Liu Ruo Qing nodded her head, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind, she then looked at Yan Yuan and said: "Tell me, will the killers this time be the same people who assassinated you in the East Sea?"

Hearing Liu Ruo Qing mention this, the expression on Yan Yuan's face changed slightly, as if he had thought of something.

"Didn't you realize that the assassination you did last time was very similar to the assassination of eighth brother?"

When Liu Ruo Qing did not mention it, Yan Yuan did not think about it.

Initially, he was ambushed by a soldier accompanying him. Afterwards, the soldier also committed suicide.

That man had succeeded because he was fighting alongside the soldiers. Under those circumstances, he would not suspect anyone, and so would eighth brother.

It was because of this that those warriors were able to kill them.

What happened back then, because he could not find out the result after a long period of time, coupled with the fact that Qing Er "died", his heart was like dying embers. He simply did not have the mood to investigate about what had happened in the Eastern Ocean.

If eighth brother was plotted against by the same people, then it meant that the mastermind had been prepared for a long time and had planned to kill them all.

Or perhaps, the real motive behind killing them was not simple.

"But even if it's those people from back then, they're all dead now. They didn't leave even the slightest clue behind. Even if we wanted to investigate, we wouldn't know where to start."

"Not necessarily."

Liu Ruo Qing shook her head, raised her eyes and looked at Yan Yuan, and said: "It's not like there's no clues at all.

Upon hearing her question, Yan Yuan's pupils slightly contracted. Not long after, his eyes brightened, "You're talking about 'Eternal Rest'?"

"That's right, 'Eternal Rest'."

"Eternal Rest" was the poison that struck Yan Yuan when he was plotted against. At that time, when Dong Dan saved him and brought him to the seedlings, Dong Dan had told him before that "Eternal Rest" was a poison that came from Ye Man.

"It doesn't matter if the people who tried to assassinate Eighth Brother this time are the same people who tried to assassinate you back then, we will forget about the matter of plotting against you back then. Now that Ye Man is in our hands, we can make use of this opportunity to obtain some useful information from Ye Man."

As he spoke till here, Liu Ruo Qing's gaze turned cold, "Maybe we can even pull that person out from behind us."

"Qing Er is right, why didn't I think of this? It's all thanks to you reminding me."
