She looked up at Yan Yuan in shock, and did not make a sound for a long while.
Yan Yuan treated her a little better, but she was still a little not used to it.
Yan Yuan was also a little guilty from her strange gaze.
Her pretty eyebrows creased slightly as she said, "Is there a problem with This King's words?"
His eyes flashed with guilt, and he subconsciously avoided Liu Ruoqing's gaze.
Liu Ruoqing thought about it, and still did not say his surprise, and only said: "No, don't you want to know the clues that I want to give you?"
"There's no hurry. Let's talk about this after your fever is over. Now lie down and have a good night's sleep."
With that, he stood up from the bed and helped Liu Ruoqing cover himself with the blanket. Then, he turned and walked out of the room.
Liu Ruoqing looked at the quilt which Yan Yuan had personally covered himself, and he was unable to recover his senses for a long while.
"Fuck, Yan Yuan is up to no good?"
How did he become so considerate? Did he get scolded by the imperial sister-in-law again this morning?
Liu Ruoqing lied on his bed, puzzled by Yan Yuan's actions.
In the end, it could only be attributed to the following conclusion ?
"It looks like I made a difference when I first challenged him. Is that guy feeling guilty?"
Well, that must be it.
After thinking about it, the only thing Liu Ruoqing could think of was this possibility.
Liu Ruoqing's physique itself was pretty good. In addition to the infamous and expensive medicinal ingredients in the Duke Palaces, as well as the many supplements sent by the Kaiser s from the palaces, Liu Ruoqing only rested for two days in bed before being completely healed.
She could not stay idle. After lying in bed for only two days, she felt itchy all over her body.
Early in the morning, she brought along the heartlock and sat in the courtyard to study it.
"Moonlight isn't good, nor is Sunlight, not even with spells. What is missing? "
Liu Ruoqing held the heartlock and looked it over, but he still could not figure out what was wrong.
Yan Yuan wanted to go to the study room, but when he passed East Garden, he couldn't help but stop.
His gaze looked in the direction of the East Garden, and after hesitating for a moment, he walked over.
The moment he stepped into the courtyard, he saw Liu Ruoqing holding the heartlock and mumbling to himself.
Looking at Liu Ruoqing, the initial doubt flashed past his eyes.
He had always felt that this woman did everything possible to obtain the heartlock, her goal was definitely not simple.
Now that she had recovered, she held the heartlock and talked to herself, as if she was investigating something.
"What the hell is she playing?"
Combined with Liu Ruoqing's strange previous performance, the doubt in his eyes gradually deepened.
"What's missing?"
As she approached him, she heard her muttering.
"What are you thinking?"
Yan Yuan's low and deep voice entered her ears, causing her to suddenly put down the heartlock and withdraw her thoughts.
That panicking look made the suspicions in Yan Yuan's heart grow yet again.
"Nothing, I'm just admiring the things left behind by the mother."
She looked at Yan Yuan and continued: "I heard that this heartlock is a treasure, does it have some kind of godly power?"
She used a casual tone to probe Yan Yuan, trying to get some clues about the heartlock from him.
Yan Yuan saw the light that was being released from her eyes, and her gaze grew deeper.
"You don't know what the use of heartlock is?"
"Yeah."
If I knew, would I have asked you?
Liu Ruoqing added in his heart.
"In that case, why did you go through so much trouble to obtain it?"
"I didn't do it to return ?"
She pursed her lips and said: "Since it's a treasure, then it doesn't matter what use it has, in any case, I don't want it for nothing, why wouldn't I want it? Moreover, didn't the imperial sister-in-law say so, this is something your mother left for me, of course I can't reject it."
She rolled her eyes guiltily.
Although her words made sense, Yan Yuan still had some doubts towards her intentions.
However, he had sent Qi Feng to investigate and found out that Liu Tianxin was not an impostor, so even though he knew that her goal was impure, he was unable to think of what exactly she was trying to do.
Although heartlock s were treasures that could cure a hundred poisons, they didn't have any other substantive uses.
Seeing that the doubt on Yan Yuan's face had not faded, he immediately tried to change the topic.
"Right, how are the assassins?"
She opened her mouth and quietly turned the conversation to another matter of utmost importance.
Yan Yuan regained his senses, and looked at Liu Ruoqing. He did not continue to suspect her, because at the moment, she was not a big problem.
"Didn't you tell This King the other day that you have a clue?" Do you know who an assassin is? "
"I don't think so, but I can give you some clues."
She then said to Yan Yuan: "When I fought with them that day, I used my sword to cut two people's waists, and discovered a symbol on their waists."
"On the waist?"
Yan Yuan's eyes instantly lit up, and as if she had thought of something, she asked: "What symbol?"
"I didn't see it clearly. It looks like an eight trigrams diagram, but something doesn't seem right."
Liu Ruoqing picked up an apple at the side and took a bite.
"Is the Eight Trigram Diagram the exact opposite of a normal Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams?"
"Hmm?"
Liu Ruoqing paused when he was eating the apple, he thought for a while, then said, "Right, right, right, when I was talking about that gossip, I felt that it was a little strange, but I couldn't find anything wrong."
She placed the apple to the side, looked at Yan Yuan and said, "That's right, it is indeed the opposite of a normal yin yang gossip."
Yan Yuan became silent, her beautiful eyebrows knitted together, she pursed her lips but did not say a word, she looked as if she had thought of something.
"It really is the People from the Divine Artefact Hall."
"Shen Ji Hall? What is that thing? "
This unfamiliar name made Liu Ruoqing curious. He stared at Yan Yuan's thoughtful face and blinked his eyes.
"A remnant organization of the previous dynasty that wanted to rebel against the imperial government, that eight o'clock symbol. It means to reverse the course of events and overturn the rule of the current dynasty."
Yan Yuan frowned, and explained.
If all of this was related to the Shen Ji Hall, then everything made sense.
However, the opponent had a motive to kill Tutor Yun, but there was no need to go through so much trouble to do so. Furthermore, why did they want to keep Yun Jiaorong here?
The doubts in Yan Yuan's heart couldn't be solved for a while.
"Remnant of the previous dynasty?"
Wasn't that the same as the world? Those guys also wanted to reverse the situation.
