Chapter 20 - Can We Have Dinner

If it had been her, she would have long since pulled that kid out and dismembered him.

The smile in his eyes deepened a few degrees as he raised his eyebrows. The lines at the corner of his eyes also deepened a bit, "Tian Xin, it seems that you have a huge opinion of Ninth Emperor's younger brother."

"You're not spouting nonsense. The late emperor told you to kowtow to a dog, are you angry?"

Liu Ruo Qing blurted out these words and immediately regretted it.

Damn it, I nearly forgot that this was the era when the feudal emperors were in power. If I were to say anything wrong, I would be beheaded.

Although she said it unintentionally, she actually said obliquely that the late emperor was a dog in front of the Empress Mother.

This is bad, I finally found a backer. I can't let her say these words to me.

She worriedly looked at Empress Mother. Fortunately, Empress Mother didn't seem to mind her words and nodded in agreement.

"That's true. What Ninth did on that day was indeed too much. Wailing Home will find a time to properly talk about him."

With Empress Mother's words, Liu Ruo Qing felt at ease.

Just a moment ago, she was still a little worried that Yan Yuan would use his status and authority to seize the heaven's son and order the other heirs to submit, which was why the Empress Mother didn't care about his disrespectful attitude.

If that really was the case, then searching for her backer was equivalent to searching for nothing.

However, listening to the meaning of the words just now, Empress Mother still had the power to criticize Yan Yuan. Thinking of this, Liu Ruo Qing's heart could not help but become proud, and even, her eyes gradually revealed a look of satisfaction.

In the Imperial Garden, Yan Yuan and Yan Jue's expressions were different.

"Ninth Brother, do you really believe those rumors? If the truth was not as the rumors say, didn't you marry Liu Tian Xin for nothing? "

Yan Jue asked, probing as he looked at Yan Yuan who was walking beside him with his thick eyebrows locked in a deep frown.

Yan Yuan's eyes deepened, "I've confirmed with Liu Cheng He, he doesn't have the guts to lie to me."

Although Liu Cheng He was currently his father-in-law, from Yan Yuan's tone of voice, it was clear that he did not take Liu Cheng He as her father-in-law.

Hearing that, Yan Jue did not say much, but just smiled and laughed: "However, we are not married for nothing, I think that my younger brother is quite humorous."

The smile in Yan Jue's eyes could not help but deepen as he thought of the little fox like appearance she had in longevity palace.

If he did not receive someone's gaze that was filled with danger, he would definitely not withdraw.

Embarrassed, he touched the tip of his nose and guiltily changed the topic, saying, "Emperor should be past, let's go back."

Inside the longevity palace, when Yan Yuan and Yan Jue stepped into the palace once again, the first thing they heard was Liu Ruo Qing's clear and sharp voice — —

"royal sister-in-law, can you eat now?"

Don't blame her for asking for food the moment she opened her mouth. After she was woken up by that bitch Yan Yuan using water to follow her into the palace, she hadn't eaten a single bite since then.

For her, being hungry was definitely the top ten torture methods.

Yan Yuan's brows tightened, this damned woman's current identity was still his Crown Princess Jing. Stealing from the Duke Palaces was not bad enough, he had actually come to the palace to make a fool of himself.

On the other hand, Yan Jue who was beside him looked as if he was watching a good show.
