Her gaze stopped on Yan Yuan's face with a kind of infatuation. Although Yan Yuan didn't look at her, he couldn't ignore the fiery and passionate gaze that was fixated on his body.
He didn't know if Qing Er knew the reason why the Lady Xie from the Xie Clan had specially made fruit soup for them, but he could see through it.
In such a big King Carefree Palace, when would they ever need a guest like her to cook for them? Her motive was too obvious, and it made him feel too disgusted.
Under the Xie Clan's gaze of anticipation, Yan Yuan looked at the fruit soup that Liu Ruo Qing was holding, and extended his hand to take it, thinking that he would taste it, but he only moved it to the side, with no intention of looking at it, "I do not like eating sweet things."
With that, Little Xie's face turned white. Her hands, which had been gripping her handkerchief tightly due to her nervousness, were now clenched even tighter from shame and embarrassment. Even the bones of her fingers had turned white.
His face flushed red from embarrassment, as if he was severely humiliated by Yan Yuan's words.
He said that he did not like eating sweet things, but he did not reject the dessert Crown Princess Jing gave him that day at the family banquet. In fact, because Crown Princess Jing said not to waste anything, he even finished the bowl of sweet things left in her bowl.
But when he came to her, she did it herself, and he said he didn't like sweets.
How is it that he doesn't like to eat sweet things? He clearly doesn't like to eat sweet things given by people other than the Crown Princess Jing.
Realizing this, Little Xie felt sad, wronged, and embarrassed that she couldn't ignore.
But in the end, she still knew that this was the King Carefree Palace, not her Xie Clan. The identities of the two people in front of her were not people she could afford to offend, so she naturally did not dare to be angry with them. She could only suppress the anger in her heart and said, "Since the prince has returned, then I will not disturb the wangfei anymore.
She even felt that it was laughable and embarrassing that she had purposely called herself "Xiao'er" in front of Yan Yuan.
Liu Ruo Qing would naturally not ask Little Xie to stay behind. Although she knew that Yan Yuan would not be tempted by the beauties outside, it did not mean that she could tolerate the Little Demoness outside pasting herself onto Yan Yuan one by one.
She's not generous!
After Xiao Xie left, Liu Ruo Qing looked at the fruit soup in front of him and said, "You don't like sweet foods? I usually give it to you to eat, but you didn't even say anything. "
She really did not know that Yan Yuan did not like to eat sweet food. Now that she heard Yan Yuan's words, she was puzzled in her heart.
Seeing her expression, Yan Yuan knew what she was thinking about. He lifted his hand to scratch her nose and said: "I thought it was a sweet dish, so who gave it to you?"
Liu Ruo Qing was startled for a moment, and then she finally understood what Yan Yuan meant. She then burst out laughing, her face had a few more traces of praise, as she reached out to pinch's cheeks and said: "Little girl, you sure know how to make people happy."
Yan Yuan took the opportunity to hold her hand that was on his face, and said obediently: "I will continue to work hard in the future."
Liu Ruo Qing looked at him in annoyance, then looked at the fruit soup on the table and said: "But Miss Xie, this fruit soup tastes really good. I even ate an entire bowl of it."
She stretched out her hand and scooped another spoonful into her mouth. Her face was full of satisfaction.
Yan Yuan looked at the bowl. Although it was not big, he was not laughing, her appetite was not big, and it was rare to see her eating one bowl was enough to eat it.
"If you like it, tell the kitchen to make it."
"Yes."
Liu Ruo Qing nodded her head, she did not take the Little Xie Clan seriously, as she was only one of the women coveting Yan Yuan, if she was unhappy, she would not be able to take care of it.
"Right, where did you go?"
"I went to talk with second brother for a while."
Liu Ruo Qing saw the gentle line on Yan Yuan's face become a little colder, and her heart quivered, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, just a little suspicion."
Although Yan Yuan said that, but Liu Ruo Qing had been his husband and wife for so many years, how could she not understand what she meant?
"Do you suspect second brother?"
Her voice was suppressed. After all, this was the King Carefree Palace, and if it was really Second Brother, then there must be Second Brother's spies in and out of the garden.
Yan Yuan did not answer, but suddenly stood up in front of her, and said: "Second brother should be entering the city. I will take you to walk around, so I don't have anything to do right now."
Liu Ruo Qing immediately understood and nodded, "Alright."
They were important guests of the King Carefree Palace and their identities were special, so naturally no one would stop them from leaving the Palace.
The hidden guard protecting Yan Yuan was hiding in the shadows. If Yan Xie was really the mastermind, then he wouldn't be so stupid as to send someone to watch over Yan Yuan from the shadows, which would undoubtedly be exposing himself. Thus, after the two of them left the manor, other than the hidden guard that was accompanying them, there was no one else.
Outside, it was much easier for the two to talk.
"I told second brother about the army and the flood."
Liu Ruo Qing's eyes widened as she looked at Yan Yuan in shock and said, "If it really is Second Brother, didn't you already alert the enemy?"
"If it really is second brother, then Qin Sang revealed the matter regarding the army to sixth brother, and it was second brother who let her reveal it, the goal is naturally to make it easier for Qin Sang to get close to sixth brother, since second brother is the king of Yizhou, if I do not tell him, it is obvious that I suspect him, isn't it?"
Yan Yuan looked at Liu Ruo Qing's shocked eyes and laughed.
Liu Ruo Qing nodded, and listened to Yan Yuan continue: "If it wasn't for Second Brother, for the same reason, as the King of Yizhou, he had an army hidden in his territory, and he was in danger, so of course I told him."
Hearing Yan Yuan's words, Liu Ruo Qing understood.
Then, she seemed to have thought of something and said: "All this way in Yizhou, I keep having the feeling that something is strange, but I can't say it out loud. As for second brother … How do you suspect him? "
When Liu Ruo Qing asked this question, her expression was a little gloomy, and her mood was also a little low.
Liu Ruo Qing's heart sank, she could roughly guess the reason.
Although Yan Yuan had revealed very little emotion, but from his words and actions with Yan Xie, it could be seen that although the brotherly relationship between the two of them was not as close as the Eighth Brother, it was still not bad. If the person who wanted to kill the three of them over and over again was really the Second Brother, then from an emotional perspective, Yan Yuan was naturally disappointed.
She reached out to hold Yan Yuan's hand as if to console him, but she didn't say anything.
Yan Yuan realized her intentions and laughed out loud. He then grabbed her and kept his depressed look from his eyes.
