Her eyes flickered, intentionally avoiding Yan Yuan's gaze, as if he could see through her.

Yan Yuan's brows lightly knitted, and a cold light that could not be denied flashed in his eyes. He ignored her excuse and coldly repeated the words from before: "What are you doing in the Royal Tomb?"

Her irresistible appearance completely turned a deaf ear to Liu Ruo Qing's explanation.

Although he was not angry, Liu Ruo Qing could still hear the coldness and sharpness in it.

"Can't you understand what I'm saying? Who's been to the Royal Tomb before? "

She still avoided Yan Yuan's gaze with a twinkle, but she was extremely guilty.

Yan Yuan once again sat down in front of her. His long arm lightly rested on her injured shoulder blade, and his thin lips slowly cracked open with a cold glint.

Liu Ruo Qing's heart suddenly sank. Looking at the seat in Yan Yuan's hand, she knew what she wanted to do.

As long as he used a bit of strength, it was very likely that his arm would be torn off.

"I will repeat myself one last time. Why are you entering the Royal Tomb?"

The strength that Yan Yuan placed on her shoulders did not increase, but following his tone, it caused Liu Ruo Qing to feel as if the strength on her shoulders was increasing bit by bit.

She wasn't sure if Yan Yuan was trying to trick her, but right now, she couldn't let herself get into a mess. She had to think of a good answer.

No matter if she was currently in Crown Princess Jing or not, she would not be able to avoid this crime. Thus, she absolutely could not admit that she had trespassed into the Royal Tomb.

However, if Yan Yuan was trying to trick her, why did he say it out loud so accurately instead of guessing something else?

Yan Yuan was not an ordinary person, and it was not easy to fool his. If she did not give a suitable answer, Yan Yuan would never give up.

He really didn't see the calendar when he went out. Why was Yan Yuan in East Garden last night?

Liu Ruo Qing secretly cursed in her heart, as if she was somewhat vexed.

"You don't know how to answer?"

The corner of Yan Yuan's lips curved up in a cold arc, carrying with it a trace of mockery that Liu Ruo Qing disliked.

He suddenly increased the power in his hands, causing Liu Ruo Qing to frown: "Liu Tian Xin, don't forget your identity, as the princess of the xieqing, you barged into the Easternum's imperial tomb, do you know what you are doing?"

Yan Yuan's tone sounded very angry, but within that rage, Liu Ruo Qing detected a kind of unspeakable emotion, as if … Like she was worried?

Liu Ruo Qing felt that her current thoughts were extremely laughable. What was Yan Yuan worrying about?

However, he was right, her current identity was the xieqing's princess. This identity could easily be linked to political factors, and if she did not explain it clearly, the crime would be several times worse than that of an ordinary grave robber.

As such, she could not admit it any longer.

Seeing her silence, the fire in Yan Yuan's heart grew stronger. The fire in his eyes seemed to want to burn Liu Ruo Qing to ashes.

"Liu Tian Xin, are you still not willing to admit it?"

Yan Yuan gnashed his teeth in anger, but when he saw that she was starting to break out in cold sweat from the pain, he subconsciously released his hand.

"You have the special spices from the Royal Tomb on you. Besides the Royal Tomb, you can't occupy any other place on your body. How do you intend to quibble about this?"

His face was ashen as he looked at Liu Ruo Qing, who was blinking at him in shock.

Yan Yuan's words made Liu Ruo Qing suddenly realize something. He had heard a long time ago that many mausoleums used special spices to maintain the appearance of corpses and prevent them from rotting.

She had entered the imperial mausoleum of a large country. It wasn't strange that there were special antiseptics inside, but she hadn't thought of that.

She was even foolishly spouting nonsense in front of Yan Yuan.

However, if she said that she was doing it to return to the modern world, to Yan Yuan, it sounded even more ridiculous.

She then looked at Yan Yuan and let out a long sigh, then asked: "Did you believe me when I said that?"

Her eyes were serious as she asked this question. Her eyelashes fluttered slightly in front of Yan Yuan. He knew that she was probably lying but he was unable to say anything.

"After you finish, This King will consider whether it's true or not."

Liu Ruo Qing also knew that it was impossible for Yan Yuan to trust her so easily. However, after thinking about it, this kind of answer sounded a little reasonable.

"I couldn't sleep last night, so I wanted to go out and walk around. I wanted to go to the western suburbs to look for Yun Jiao Rong, but when I arrived at her house, I remembered that she should be sleeping, so I decided to go back. Then, I saw a few black-clothed people sneakily heading towards the west.

After saying her piece, she paused for a moment, looked at Yan Yuan's skeptical face, and emphasized: "They entered from the shadows, I really didn't know that it was the imperial tomb."

"Continue."

Yan Yuan carelessly rubbed his fingers. He looked lazy, but he looked to be deep in thought.

He pursed his lips and continued to speak: "I just followed them in, and then I heard some things from them. In the end, when they left, they accidentally touched the mechanism of the tomb, I don't know if they escaped, in any case, I was lucky enough to escape after getting shot by the crossbow arrows."

Although she hid the most important part, her words sounded much more believable than the first two statements.

After Yan Yuan heard this, he fell silent for a long while. After a while, he looked at her again and asked: "What did you hear from them?"

"Mm …" Let me think. "

She dragged her chin and pursed her lips as she tried to recall what had happened last night.

"They must have received some news and met up with the young master in the Royal Tomb. One of the hall master's men told them to hurry back, he would bring the news to the young master …" "Oh, right …"

Liu Ruo Qing looked at Yan Yuan, laughed, and said, "They really are smart to use the imperial mausoleum as a contact point. Nobody would have thought to go investigate such a hidden place."

Yan Yuan pursed his lips and kept quiet, as if she was pondering over the authenticity of her words, and also thinking about other questions.

Liu Ruo Qing was also not sure about Yan Yuan's thoughts, she only looked at him with a nervous expression without saying a word. In the next second, his gaze suddenly turned cold, and moved closer to Liu Ruo Qing, "Did you hear it clearly, they did say that?"

"Yeah, what's there to lie about?"

Liu Ruo Qing nodded, but in her heart she was praying for Yan Yuan to focus his attention elsewhere and not hold onto her.

Yan Yuan remained silent for a while, before standing up in front of her, "I'll rest well, I'll make a trip to the palace."
