As Yun Jiao Rong watched, she could not help but take in a breath of cold air.

"Miss, your wounds are very deep. How did you get so injured?"

"It's just a fight, who wouldn't bring some injuries back, Uncle?"

Liu Ruo Qing shook her legs, quietly hiding the true reason behind her injuries.

The doctor looked at her sloppy, roguish appearance with a look of disapproval.

"Look at you, a girl, why are you acting like a boy, and even fighting back. Fortunately, your wound is on your arm, if it was on your neck, your little life would have been gone."

The corner of Liu Ruo Qing's mouth twitched. Are all these doctors so full of nonsense?

It was her master who had foresight and told her to learn medicine to defend herself. If they met such a wordy doctor, they wouldn't have been killed by the dumplings when they stole the tomb.

Yan Shuo watched on the side and listened attentively to the conversation between Liu Ruo Qing and the doctor. However, Liu Ruo Qing's injuries and the unintentional words of the doctor allowed Yan Shuo to have more thoughts.

He looked towards Yan Yuan, and used a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Why is Ninth Aunt's martial arts so high? Looking at her wounds, his opponent's sword technique is not weak. She could actually safely escape from more than a dozen people by herself. "

Yan Shuo did not know what he wanted to express, but that suspicious tone of voice made Yan Yuan feel unexplainable discomfort.

Ying Fu frowned and asked in a low voice, "What do you want to say?"

Yan Shuo seemed to have detected the anger in Yan Yuan's tone, and laughed: "Liu Cheng He let such an capable daughter stay by your side, aren't you worried that he has other intentions?"

Yan Shuo shifted his gaze towards Yan Yuan. At the same time, his words caused Yan Yuan's eyes to flicker for a moment. A trace of change flashed across his seemingly calm eyes, and he did not speak for a long while.

He understood Yan Shuo's intentions. Although the xieqing's national power was far from that of the Easternum, the surrounding area still had the Nanling and the Nanling. If they wanted to join hands and make a move against the Easternum, the Easternum might not be able to withstand it.

When he had used a city as a betrothal gift to exchange for Liu Tian Xin, Liu Cheng He was not certain that he would not think of other things.

Especially since Liu Tian Xin's abilities had far surpassed his imagination.

Or maybe … The Liu Tian Xin in front of him was actually not that Liu Tian Xin, if it was like this …

Yan Yuan looked at Liu Ruo Qing and narrowed her eyes.

Was she going to kill Liu Tian Xin in place of her and marry him, or was it Liu Cheng He's fault as well?

Once the people he sent out returned, everything would become clear. Once it was verified that this woman was the fake Liu Tian Xin, no matter if it was the former or the latter, both of her intentions were not simple.

Yan Yuan looked at Liu Ruo Qing's turned face, and in her heart, she couldn't tell what she was feeling.

He did not answer Yan Shuo, but his gaze quietly fell on Liu Ruo Qing's body.

At this time, Liu Ruo Qing had already finished bandaging her wound. When she got up to leave, the doctor still did not forget to remind him, "Remember, do not let your wounds get wet.

Although the doctor was long-winded, he was warmhearted. Liu Ruo Qing smiled, and after thanking him, she left the infirmary.

"Miss, you're back."

When Xiao Yi, the servant girl who accompanied Yun Jiao Rong out of the palace saw that Yun Jiao Rong had returned, her nervous expression relaxed.

Seeing that Yan Shuo had also come, he quickly knelt down and greeted, "This servant greets Emperor."

"Didn't I tell you to accompany the little miss?"

In the depths of Yan Shuo's eyes, there was a hint of anger.

"Your servant …"

"I told Xiaoyi not to follow."

Yun Jiao Rong immediately spoke out to help Xiaoyi.

Yan Shuo looked at Yun Jiao Rong, who was still pale from the shock, and said: "Rong Er, if you want to come out next time, inform us, we will send guards to follow you."

Yun Jiao Rong frowned, she was planning to reject Yan Shuo's good intentions, but she did not know how to do so.

This time, it was truly her own fault for not being considerate and having thought of the consequences. If not for Crown Princess Jing following her, she would definitely have been captured by those people.

Yan Shuo continued: "If it wasn't for the fact that Ninth Aunt was with you this time, we really can't imagine what we would do after you have been captured by them."

The light in Yan Shuo's eyes was deep and heavy, just like his previous burning passion. It was almost enough to see through Yun Jiao Rong's heart.

She avoided Yan Shuo's gaze and nodded, "Thank you, Emperor. I understand."

Yan Shuo's heart sank. No matter how "Rong Er" tried to get close to her, she would always be able to easily push him a thousand miles away.

But, as if he was accustomed to Yun Jiao Rong deliberately distancing himself from him, Yan Shuo did not despair for long, and with a smile, he nodded his head.

Then, he walked in front of Liu Ruo Qing, lowered his eyebrows and looked at her, and said gratefully: "Ninth Aunt, thank you very much for saving Rong Er this time, I am extremely grateful."

At this point, he paused for a moment before continuing, "What rewards do you want? Tell me. Whatever I have, I can give you."

Liu Ruo Qing's gaze turned, she just wanted the words Kaiser, but she didn't lack anything, the only thing she needed was to take charge of her own life before she left the Easternum.

Thus …

She raised her eyes to look at Yan Shuo, smiled and shook her head: "Saving a life is better than creating a seventh level pagoda. Just based on what Emperor had called me, Ninth Aunt's, that's enough.

She said it with dignity, but someone just couldn't believe it. Looking at her smiling eyes, he gave a slight snort of annoyance.

"Since that's the case, we owe Ninth Aunt a favor. In the future, if there's anything that you need us for, we will definitely help out."

"Alright, I will remember Emperor's words."

Liu Ruo Qing said half jokingly and half seriously, but in her heart, she was overjoyed. With Kaiser as her backer, that trash of a man would not dare to touch her easily in the future.

Yun Jiao Rong did not stay in the Ninth Prince's Mansion for long. Kaiser was worried that she might be frightened, so he asked her to return to the Palace first.

Liu Ruo Qing was severely injured, although it was not life-threatening, but the wound was very deep. Yan Yuan looked at her slightly pale face and furrowed his brows without batting an eyelid.

"Go back to your room and have a good night's sleep. This King won't accompany you."

He seemed to have never said something like this before, and although he was concerned about it, it was extremely awkward. When he said these words, Liu Ruo Qing felt that it was especially unpleasant to hear.

When he raised his eyes, Yan Yuan had already turned around and left. He only heard Liu Ruo Qing's disdainful mutterings from behind him.

"Tsk, who cares about your company?"

With that, he turned and walked towards the East Garden.

When Yan Yuan heard her muttering, he stopped in his tracks and his lips pursed into a line.
