Fallen Imperial Consort from Heaven

Chapter 24 - An additional ally

Looking at her exaggerated appearance, he even felt that it was a bit funny.

"Thank you, royal sister-in-law. You are the best."

Liu Ruo Qing did not realize that her exaggerated acting had not been trusted by anyone other than the Empress Mother. Yet, she was so pleased that she thought she had fooled everyone.

After Empress Mother consoled her, he turned to Yan Yuan and said with a stern expression: "Old Nine, previously, you already owed Tian Xin. From today onwards, you must treat her well and not bully her, understand?"

"royal sister-in-law..."

Yan Yuan frowned, he did not mind being lectured by royal sister-in-law, but Liu Tian Xin was clearly pretending, could royal sister-in-law really not tell?

"Forget it, royal sister-in-law, don't make things difficult for the Prince, blame it on Tian Xin's life, the one who marries is not a human, who let us girls' family, we can only listen to our parents' orders, on the matter of marriage, we can't make our own decisions, blame it on Tian Xin's life, we can't get the Prince's favor …"

Liu Ruo Qing deeply sobbed, and said this in a timely manner.

She couldn't possibly think that she could make Yan Yuan suffer a grievance in front of the royal sister-in-law.

The longevity palace could hide from him for a while. When she returned, she would still have to stay in the King Jing Palace. It would be better if she didn't offend the boss of the King Jing Palace too much.

Seeing her current state, Yan Jue and Yan Shuo both raised their eyebrows. They did not intend to reveal her at all, they only leaned on the side in a good mood and enjoyed the wonderful scene in front of them.

After all, as a Prince Jing, he had never suffered such a loss before. It was rather interesting that he suffered such a setback in front of his wife.

Their gazes carried schadenfreude as they looked at Yan Yuan. However, they saw that a certain someone's lips were lifted into a horrifying sneer, and the two couldn't help but shiver. They looked worriedly at Liu Ruo Qing, who was still feeling proud of herself, and broke out in a cold sweat for her.

Difficult to live? Married not a person? She felt that marrying him, Yan Yuan, was impossible?

The corner of Yan Yuan's lips curled up into a ridiculing smile. Did she not see how her father, Liu Cheng He, wished for him to marry her?

Empress Mother consoled Liu Ruo Qing with a pained heart while saying to the maid standing beside him: "Meixue, go to the Wailing Home's chamber and bring out the thing that Wailing Home told you to bring this morning."

"Yes, Empress Mother."

After the servant left, she quickly took out a high grade redwood box and placed it in front of Yan Yuan.

"This was given to the Wailing Home by the Queen Mother before he died. He said that when you get married, he will give it to your wife, and now that you have returned to the capital, the Wailing Home will return it to you."

Empress Mother took out the things inside and placed them in Yan Yuan's hands, and the mother that she spoke of, was also his mother-in-law, as well as Yan Yuan's biological mother, First Empress Mother.

"heartlock."

"Tian Xin, you recognize this heartlock?"

When Empress Mother heard her clearly call out this name earlier, his eyes revealed shock.

This heartlock was handed over to her by the First Empress Mother, she had always been well-preserved and had never been seen by anyone. Furthermore, Tian Xin was a Princess from the xieqing, so how could she recognize this?

"Yeah, it's because of it that I …"

Liu Ruo Qing's words, just as they reached his mouth, he realized that she had leaked his mouth, and immediately covered it with her hands.

Crap!

She knew that something was wrong, and indeed, when she saw Yan Yuan's squinted eyes looking at her from top to bottom like a searchlight.

Her calm eyes were as sharp as a knife as she mercilessly cut them open.

She felt a little guilty, and her eyes couldn't help but shift to the side.

"What happened to you because of it?"

This time, it was not Empress Mother but Yan Yuan who had spoken. He felt more and more that the Liu Tian Xin in front of him was not that simple.

Especially her current drifting eyes, it was obvious that she was feeling guilty.

What was this woman playing at?

Yan Yuan squinted his eyes, which carried some danger, and felt more and more goosebumps all over his body as he looked at Liu Ruo Qing.

"I …"

She tried her best to find an excuse that could be used to lie to Yan Yuan, even though the Yan Yuan in front of her didn't look easy to deceive.

"I... I mean, that's why I got married. "

"Oh?"

This point was rather novel.

The Empress Mother raised his eyebrows in interest and took over, "Do you know that the Wailing Home has heartlock here?"

"This..."

Liu Ruo Qing pretended to be embarrassed and smiled, then said blindly: "royal sister-in-law, to tell you the truth, previously, Tian Xin had a dream where an old man showed him something in a dream. He said that thing was called heartlock, and the old man also told Tian Xin that Tian Xin's husband would be someone who would have a heartlock. There really is one. "

As she said that, she pretended to look at Yan Yuan bashfully, but her true focus was on the heartlock, so much that her eyes started to shine.

Hearing her words, Empress Mother didn't have the slightest bit of doubt. Instead, he covered his mouth and chuckled twice, with an unknown and profound meaning in his voice, "It seems like the fate of Tian Xin and Ninth Brother is fated."

"Hehe, that's right, fated …"

Was it fated to be a calamity?

Liu Ruo Qing added on in her heart, she really did not think that she would actually see a heartlock here.

This thing was the main culprit behind her teleportation here.

At that time, when she was preparing to teleport after getting the heartlock, she did not expect the heartlock to appear here.

In other words, the tombstone that she stole at that time was most likely Yan Yuan's?

The heck, did she really dig his grave?

No wonder this fellow disliked her no matter how much he looked at her.

Liu Ruo Qing retorted in her heart, her entire mind preoccupied with the heartlock.

Since she had teleported here because of the heartlock, maybe she could also rely on the heartlock to teleport back as well.

Thinking about it this way, Liu Ruo Qing's eyes blossomed with an even brighter light.

The story that Liu Ruo Qing had concocted could fool the Empress Mother, but it would not be easy to fool Yan Yuan.

This woman was obviously after the heartlock, what other secrets was she hiding?

Yan Yuan squinted his eyes, seeing Liu Ruo Qing not saying a word, her gaze seemed to become deep, causing Liu Ruo Qing to feel uncomfortable.

Ever since the heartlock appeared, Liu Ruo Qing had been eating in a rather absent-minded manner, and was completely focused on how to take the heartlock from Yan Yuan's hands.
