C278 It's not that you don't welcome me right

"True."

Yan Shuo nodded his head, and the brows of the three started to knit.

"It looks like no matter how we analyze it, we won't be able to come up with a conclusion. We'll have to wait for the assassin to confess."

"I heard from Xiao Yan that the skin of that assassin is extremely tough and he is unwilling to call him over no matter what. It is likely very difficult to obtain some clues from him."

"Didn't another Assassin escape? "Let's wait until Xiao Yan captures that partner of his."

The three discussed for a while, but still couldn't come to a conclusion. Thus, they temporarily put this topic to one side.

Yan Shuo suddenly thought of something, he looked at Yan Yuan and asked: "That's right, Royal Uncle, how has your relationship with Ninth Aunt been recently?"

Hearing Yan Shuo suddenly mention Liu Ruo Qing, Yan Yuan's and Yan Jue's expression changed at the same time.

Yan Jue did know about the heartlock being in Yan Shuo's hands, but Yan Yuan didn't know about it. Only, the conversation he had with Yan Shuo earlier made Yan Yuan instinctively resent it when he heard Yan Shuo mentioning Liu Ruo Qing.

"We are doing very well. Thank you for your concern, your Imperial Majesty."

Yan Yuan's reply seemed somewhat distant.

Yan Shuo also sensed it, and said with a faint smile: "It's just nice, it's been a long time since we last had a good chat with Ninth Aunt, I'll go with royal uncle to the Duke Palaces to take a look at Ninth Aunt."

As Yan Shuo spoke, his gaze turned to Yan Jue, "Eighth Imperial Uncle, do you want to go with us?"

Yan Jue hesitated for a second, then shook his head, "No, last time, because I was too close with my sister-in-law, I suffered a beating from someone, so I don't dare to send myself to their doorstep right now."

Yan Jue looked at Yan Yuan, and rejected his suggestion.

Yan Yuan didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his actions at all. Even if Yan Jue had mentioned it in front of him, he didn't seem to feel awkward or self-reproach in the slightest.

He was not clear about it, but the reason why Yan Jue had avoided going to the King Jing Palace was only because he knew what Yan Shuo had wanted to do in the past.

There were fewer people who knew about this matter, and he did not wish for his Ninth Brother and Ninth Sister-in-Law to have any psychological burdens.

Yan Shuo knew what Yan Jue was thinking, so he did not force him.

"Alright, since the eighth uncle doesn't want to go, then I'll go by myself."

Yan Shuo looked at Yan Yuan, "Ninth Imperial Uncle wouldn't not welcome us, right?"

Yan Yuan's gaze stopped on Yan Shuo's face. He had a feeling that there was a hidden meaning in Yan Shuo's words, as if he had other intentions.

After a moment of silence, he unhappily said, "Haven't you come uninvited?"

Under Yan Shuo's stiff smile, he turned and walked out of the royal study.

Yan Jue still had not left. After Yan Yuan left, he looked towards Yan Shuo and said: "This matter isn't too serious yet, so don't force Tian Xin too much. You must remember, forcing Tian Xin is forcing your Ninth Imperial Uncle."

Yan Shuo frowned and nodded, "I know. I hope Ninth Aunt will not disappoint us. "

Regarding Yun Jiao Rong, he had always been grateful towards her from the bottom of his heart.

However, some things were beyond his control when he sat in the position of Kaiser.

No matter how grateful he was to her, he could not afford to be mixed with personal feelings in the face of national law.

King Jing Palace —

Because he had never been able to get the letter of rest from Yan Yuan's hands, Liu Ruo Qing's heart was very frustrated.

She only had two options right now, to either find a way to directly return to the modern era or to get Yan Yuan's divorce letter, and from then on, disappear from Yan Yuan's life.

However, whether it was the road in front or behind her, she found it difficult to walk on it.

"Old man, where are you?" If you don't want to drag a dream out for me, that's fine too. "

Liu Ruo Qing rested her chin on her hands, staring at the carp pond in front of him in distress, and sighed repeatedly.

"If I knew this would happen, I would have learned fortune-telling from Master. Maybe I can figure out where the old man is now."

She mumbled dejectedly. Suddenly, she noticed something and her eyes lit up.

"Yeah, it's not like only the old man knows how to calculate. Didn't that fortune-teller figure out last time that I'm not someone from this era?" Maybe he can help me figure out where the old man is? "

With this thought in mind, she stood up from the carp pond and quickly ran out of the East District.

Just at this time, Xiao Yue walked out of her room. Because she couldn't dodge in time, she bumped into Liu Ruo Qing.

"Ugh …"

A groan of pain came out of Xiao Yue's mouth. She covered her shoulder, the pain caused her face to turn pale.

"Xiao Yue, are you alright? Why do you look so ugly?"

Liu Ruo Qing massaged her shoulder that was in pain from bumping into Xiao Yue, and asked while frowning.

"M …" Princess, you … Your strike just now was too forceful. Your servant has this bone, how … "How could it withstand your charge?"

When Xiao Yue spoke, her voice was trembling. It was very obvious that it wasn't as simple as just a simple collision.

Liu Ruo Qing's eyes looked at Xiao Yue's pale face in an unknown manner, and on her face that was deathly pale to the extreme, beads of sweat trickled down.

Xiao Yue was injured?

Liu Ruo Qing's eyes flashed. Even though the scent of the medicine on her body had been covered by the fragrant powder, if one were to smell it carefully, they would still be able to smell it.

How could Xiao Yue be injured?

Why did she keep it from her?

Could Xiao Yue be hiding some secrets that she did not know about?

Liu Ruo Qing stared at Xiao Yue thoughtfully, which made her feel extremely apprehensive.

"Oh right, Princess, where were you in a hurry to go?"

Xiao Yue's voice brought Liu Ruo Qing back to reality. She dispassionately withdrew the suspicion in her eyes and said to Xiao Yue: "Oh, I want to go out and stroll around the streets. Do you want to come with me?"

Xiao Yue had wanted to refuse but her wound must have already split open when she bumped into it just now.

However, she didn't dare make Liu Ruo Qing suspicious.

Although she was not clear about the true origins of this Lady Liu, her various actions had let her know that she absolutely could not underestimate Liu Ruo Qing.

At this moment, she could only clench her teeth and agree, "Alright, Princess, your servant is a little cold. I'll go back to my room first to get some clothes."

"Alright."

Seeing Xiao Yue push open the door and enter the room, the look in Liu Ruo Qing's eyes slightly cooled down.

When Xiao Yue returned to her room, she released the hand that was covering her shoulder.

"The Great Inner Forbidden Army is truly not to be underestimated."

She did not expect that after so many of the Imperial Guards had followed Yan Shuo to the imperial mausoleum, the Imperial Guards who were guarding the imperial palace would actually suffer a huge loss.

Now that the General Chu was locked up in the prison, the pain in his flesh couldn't be avoided, not to mention anything else.

Xiao Yue gazed outside the house uneasily.

Liu Ruo Qing was waiting outside. It would be too late to repair the bandage now.

He could only take a large piece of clothing and wrap it around himself, covering the blood that was seeping out from his shoulder.

"Princess, it's done. Let's go out."

Liu Ruo Qing quietly put away the suspicion in her eyes, and looked at her shoulders, ignoring Xiao Yue's pale face, she said: "Let's go."
