Chapter 64 - Chapter 64 064. He was so sincere that he even believed in himself …

"I don't know how long I waited, but I fell asleep, and then it was the shop assistant who woke me up. When I woke up, it was already midnight, and the shop assistant said that Daddy hasn't come yet, and I thought Daddy might forget about it and go back first. When we returned to the Tutor Palace … …"

Yun Jiao Rong did not continue speaking. Her complexion, had even become extremely pale, and her hands, were tightly clutching the hem of her skirt. She used a lot of strength, as if she was trying her best to endure something.

After Yun Jiao Rong finished speaking, Yan Shuo had caught onto some important information, but after seeing Yun Jiao Rong like this, he could not bear to continue asking.

After taking in a deep breath, Yun Jiao Rong's emotions calmed down a lot. She once again looked up at Yan Shuo and asked, "Emperor, does this have anything to do with my father's death?"

After Yun Jiao Rong calmed down, when she recalled the scene from that day once again, she indeed felt that something was amiss.

Yan Shuo hesitated for a moment, but still nodded, "En."

Yun Jiao Rong was startled for a moment, but following that, she said with an expression of incredulity: "That day, I also felt that something was wrong, Daddy isn't a person who doesn't know how to act properly, even if he really had something to do, he would probably send someone to inform me. But that day, he didn't appear at all …"

But that was only secondary. At that time, the Tutor Yun should already have met with mishaps, but that Confucian Temple's shop assistant said that the Tutor Yun told Rong Er to wait there for him, and Rong Er actually fell asleep in the Confucian Forest Academy?

In Yan Shuo's heart, there were simply too many suspicions, as though everything that had happened made him feel that something was very wrong.

As Yun Jiao Rong spoke, she seemed to sense that something was amiss, but that something was flashing past in her mind, and she was unable to catch anything.

Yan Shuo was quiet for a moment, then raised his eyes and said to Yun Jiao Rong: "Alright, you rest well, we will send people to investigate this matter clearly, don't think about it anymore."

"Yes."

"I'll go handle some matters first. Have a good rest."

Yan Shuo stood up and prepared to leave, but he was stopped by Yun Jiao Rong, "Emperor."

Yan Shuo turned his head and saw that Yun Jiao Rong had opened her mouth to say something, but then said: "I want to meet Crown Princess Jing."

"Meet the Ninth Aunt?"

"Yes."

Yun Jiao Rong nodded her head, "I want Crown Princess Jing to accompany me to the streets to relax and stay in the palace. I am also afraid that it will affect other people's mood."

Her words caused Yan Shuo to be overjoyed, and she immediately said: "We will immediately send someone to invite Ninth Aunt into the palace."

"There's no need, Emperor. I can go to King Jing Palace myself to find my princess."

"Then I'll send someone to accompany you."

Yun Jiao Rong originally wanted to reject, but she was interrupted by Yan Yuan this time, "Rong Er, you are not allowed to reject us again."

Yan Shuo's gaze turned deeper as it burned deeper, causing him to swallow the words of rejection that were about to reach his mouth.

"Either we accompany you, or we send someone to accompany you. Choose for yourself."

Yun Jiao Rong pursed her lips, lowered her eyes and fell into silence for a few seconds, then nodded helplessly: "Alright."

On the way to the King Jing Palace, they had to pass by the Tutor Palace. Although the Tutor Palace had already been cleaned up, the traces of a huge fire were still very clear.

When Yun Jiao Rong passed by the Tutor Palace, her eyes immediately turned red. Even though she was trying her best to hold it in, her body was still trembling.

King Jing Palace —

"Princess, you have been looking at this heartlock for a few days. Isn't this just a lock?

"You don't understand? Can't you tell that I won't be able to go back?"

Liu Ruo Qing's words caused Xiao Yue to widen her eyes, her eyes revealed a look of unease: "Princess, you're still thinking of returning to xieqing."

"No, I want to go back..."

Liu Ruo Qing said these words casually, but quickly retracted them back.

Damn, I almost leaked it again.

As Xiao Yue said that, she kneeled in front of Liu Ruo Qing.

Big sister, it is not a question of whether or not I leave, but, even if I stay here, Yan Yuan has already become suspicious, alright?

I can't sacrifice the rest of my life for you. I'm only eighteen.

These words, Liu Ruo Qing only dared to say them in her heart. If she really said them, Xiao Yue would definitely cry until she fainted.

"Alright, alright, get up, I'm just saying casually, where can I go? If Yan Yuan knows that I've escaped, he would definitely want to kill me. With his ability, even if I hide underground, he would be able to dig it out for me."

Liu Ruo Qing's words were said very sincerely, to the point that even she herself almost believed it, not to mention Xiao Yue.

"Get up."

Liu Ruo Qing reached out and lifted Xiao Yue up, then carried the heartlock and walked out.

"Maybe the last time was wrong. Let's try again."

She held the heartlock and muttered. This time, she just walked out of the room, and saw the butler from downstairs enter the courtyard.

"Old Xu?"

Liu Ruo Qing very rarely saw a butler enter the East Garden when Yan Yuan wasn't around, and in such a hurry too.

Just as he was feeling puzzled, the butler had already went up to the second floor and walked around the corner. He saw Liu Ruo Qing standing in front of the pavilion, and immediately went to welcome him.

"Princess."

"What is it, Old Xu?"

The butler was stunned by the way Liu Ruo Qing addressed him. Then, he said, "Princess, Miss Yun is here."

"Miss Yun?"

Liu Ruo Qing was startled, she could not believe it, "Yun Jiao Rong?"

It had been more than a week since her conversation with her in the palace. She really did not think that Yun Jiao Rong would come find her like that.

"Yes, Princess, it's Miss Yun. She's waiting for you in the hall."

"I'll go right away."

This was her benefactor, and even if Yan Yuan wanted to kill her in the future, with her benefactor's help, the Kaiser might not really do anything to her.

In short, before she could think of a way to return to the modern world, she had to do everything in her power to keep her life safe.

Yun Jiao Rong sat in the hall of the King Jing Palace and waited. Very quickly, Liu Ruo Qing appeared in her line of sight.

She got up stiffly and was about to bow, but was stopped by Liu Ruo Qing: "Alright, alright, I've already said it, I hate these red tape."
