"Same bed."

He slowly spat out those words, his voice soft yet charming at the same time.

Liu Ruoqing didn't think that he was afraid of Yan Yuan at all, but every time he approached her with this kind of action, she would become so nervous that she couldn't even speak clearly.

As expected, the handsome brother's lethality was greater than even his biological weapon.

Liu Ruoqing thought as he accurately kicked at Yan Yuan's chest, but Yan Yuan dodged it easily.

"How shameless, you want to take advantage of me again?"

She shouted loudly, her face a little red, as if she wanted to use this high-pitched voice to hide the guilt and nervousness in her heart.

Yan Yuan was still as indifferent as before. Suddenly, he tilted his body, went around to her side, and grabbed Liu Ruoqing's slender shoulders with his robust and slender arms.

"love, what are you saying? Since we are husband and wife, isn't it natural for us to share a bed and sleep with each other? How can you say that I am taking advantage of you?"

He raised his eyebrows, and looked at Liu Ruoqing's blushing face, and suddenly felt that it was a little interesting.

He was not a very feminine person, and even though there were many women who wanted to get close to him, he had never really looked at them.

Even marrying Liu Tianxin was only for the purpose in his heart.

He had never observed a woman so carefully before, let alone tease her like this.

Looking at her usually weird appearance, this time, her nervous expression seemed to be more pleasing to the eyes.

After Liu Ruoqing heard this, he pretended to be calm and snorted. "Oh, didn't Your Highness say that we have never paid respects before, so I am not your wife. Why is it that your words sound so nice now?"

When she saw Yan Yuan's expression freeze, a proud expression involuntarily rose in his eyes.

But in the next second, Yan Yuan opened his palm towards her. "Since love doesn't want to admit that it's this king's consort, then the heartlock that mother left behind is naturally not for you. Can you consider returning it to this duke now?"

Just as he finished speaking, Yan Yuan saw that Liu Ruoqing's arms were tightly wrapped around his arm, and her alluring face was pressed against his arm.

"Your Highness, you misunderstand. Tian Xin means that although we have never paid our respects before, we have a deep relationship with each other. With our relationship, why would we care about such common etiquette, right?"

Yan Yuan saw that she was blinking her eyes at him nonstop, looking at her in annoyance.

This woman's expression changed really quickly. For the heartlock, she could say anything against her will.

You even have deep feelings for him? Who had a deep relationship with her?

Yan Yuan said in his heart in a bad mood, but in his eyes, there was an additional trace of a smile.

Seeing Liu Ruoqing who was napping nonstop beside him, he remembered that she had not slept last night, and had also entered the palace early in the morning. Thus, he did not intend to tease her anymore, but rather took off the hands around her arms and said: "Go to sleep, this king does not want to fight with you."

He pointed in the direction of the bed.

This time, all of the sleepiness that Liu Ruoqing had on his head was swept away once again. He looked up at Yan Yuan's expression, as if he was looking at an alien.

Did this fellow take the wrong medicine today and become so easy to talk to? This was too unlike him.

After staring at Yan Yuan for a long while, she finally managed to recover her senses. Although she felt that Yan Yuan was being a little haggard today, she was so tired that she didn't have any energy to continue guarding against him.

He then stood up and ran to the bed. As soon as his body touched the surface of the bed, he immediately fell asleep.

Hearing the snores that came from the bed, Yan Yuan's face couldn't help but be covered with a few faint smiles.

Zhao Ming Palace ?

This was the palace for the officials of Easternum. Before dawn, the ministers were already waiting outside of the palace.

After the afternoon drum rang, the ministers entered the Zhao Ming Palace in order.

"The imperial court ~"

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

All of the officials knelt down to welcome him as Yan Shuo appeared in the main hall looking tired, as if he had not slept at all for the entire night.

The ministers guessed that the death of the Tutor Yun had caused the emperor to have a hard time sleeping through the night.

"Wei Aoqing, how is the investigation that I told you to do?"

Yan Shuo's tired voice was a little hoarse.

Amongst the officials, a chancellor dressed in white walked out immediately, his expression extremely solemn.

"Reporting to the Emperor, when micron investigated the fire, he discovered that there were traces of sulfur smoke within the fire."

This person was the Prefecture Overseer, Wei Jin, and was the main official in charge of investigating the fire in the Taifu Residence.

"Sulfur smoke?"

Upon hearing this, the officials started whispering to each other.

In the entire Zhao Ming Palace, only Yan Yuan, who was placed first among the officials, and Yan Shuo, who was sitting on the dragon throne, were not surprised.

After confirming that the Tutor Yun had died in the assassination yesterday, he knew that this fire was set by human hands.

The fire was so fierce that it must have been caused by the sulfur smoke.

After waiting for the ministers had finished discussing, Yan Shuo cleared his hoarse voice and said: "We have already ascertained that the Tutor Yun did not die from this fire yesterday.

"This... "How could this be ?"

"Who is so cruel to the Tutor Yun ?"

"?"

All the officials started discussing once again, trying to guess the culprit behind Tutor Yun's murder and what his motive was.

"We have already promoted the Three Divisions to investigate this case together. The various divisions need to work hard to find the culprit. We must comfort the Tutor Yun and the dead spirits from top to bottom."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The ministers did not ask any further, those ministers in the court who had different opinions from Tutor Yun, or those who had rejected him before because of his identity as Tutor Yun, all shut their mouths, obviously afraid of burning their bodies to ashes.

Yan Shuo pinched his tired forehead, and said: "If there is nothing else, please withdraw from the court."

As the teacher of the Kaiser, Tutor Yun suddenly passed away. The ministers knew that the Kaiser was not in a good mood, so they naturally did not burden the Kaiser with this matter.

After retreating for a while, Yan Shuo headed straight for Chengde Palace. Although Yun Jiaorong had calmed down, he was still worried about her. Even if it was the imperial court, he did not have any thoughts about her.

Chengde Palace ?

"Your servant greets the Emperor."

"Where's the Miss Yun?"

"Reporting to the emperor, Miss Yun is in the backyard, she sat there alone without making a sound, and you're not allowed to let me disturb her, so I can only wait here."

The servant girl was newly transferred to Chengde Palace from the Inner Palace yesterday, she was specially used to serve Yun Jiaorong.

Being chosen was because she was smarter than ordinary servant girl. Afraid that the Kaiser would scold her for taking bad care of Yun Jiaorong, she immediately took the opportunity to explain.
