"I don't know how long I waited, but I fell asleep, and 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 I returned to Taifu Residence ?"

Yun Jiaorong did not continue speaking. His complexion, had even become extremely pale, and his hands, were tightly clutching the hem of his skirt. He used a lot of strength, as if he was trying his best to endure something.

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

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

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

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

Yun Jiaorong was startled for a moment, but following that, he said with a face full 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 Jiaorong 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 Jiaorong: "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 Jiaorong, "Your majesty."

Yan Shuo turned his head and saw that Yun Jiaorong had opened his mouth to say something, but then said: "I want to meet Prince Jing's Wife."

"Meet the Ninth Aunt?"

"Yes."

Yun Jiaorong nodded his head, "I want Prince Jing's Wife 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. Your majesty, I can go to Prince Jing's Mansion myself to find my wangfei."

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

Yun Jiaorong originally wanted to reject, but he 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 Jiaorong pursed her lips, lowered her eyes and fell into silence for a few seconds, then nodded helplessly: "Alright."

On the way to the Prince Jing's Mansion, they had to pass by the Taifu Residence. Although the Taifu Residence had already been cleaned up, the traces of having been burned alive were still very clear.

When Yun Jiaorong passed by Taifu Residence, her eyes immediately turned red, no matter how much she tried to endure, her body still trembled a little.

Prince Jing's Mansion ?

"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 Ruoqing's words caused Xiao Yue to widen his eyes, his eyes revealed a look of unease: "Princess, you're still thinking of returning to the xieqing."

"No, I want it back ?"

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

Damn, I almost leaked it again.

Xiao Yue's eyes reddened from fear, "Lady Liu, this servant knows that the Emperor forcing you to marry in the place of my princess is a bit too much, but if you leave, the Prince will definitely suspect you, and if the Prince knows that he was tricked, the Prince will definitely not let us go. Lady Liu, this servant begs you, please do not leave."

As Xiao Yue said that, he kneeled in front of Liu Ruoqing.

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 Ruoqing only dared to say them in his heart. If she really said them, Xiao Yue would definitely cry until he 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 Ruoqing's words were said very sincerely, to the point that even she herself almost believed it, not to mention Xiao Yue.

He then revealed a smile and wiped the tear stains from the corner of his eyes, "Thank you Lady Liu."

"Get up."

Liu Ruoqing 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 Ruoqing 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 Ruoqing 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 Ruoqing addressed him. Then, he said, "Princess, Miss Yun is here."

"Miss Yun?"

Liu Ruoqing was startled, she could not believe it, "Yun Jiaorong?"

It had been more than a week since her conversation with her in the palace. She really did not think that Yun Jiaorong 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 Jiaorong sat in the hall of the Prince Jing's Mansion and waited. Very quickly, Liu Ruoqing appeared in her line of sight.

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