C20 (1/2)

It was clearly just a simple word, yet it seemed to take Luo Yi a long time to understand what it meant. The hand holding the cloth was shaking, and after a while, his fingers suddenly relaxed, and the piece of cloth gently slipped out from between her fingers.

The news couldn't reach the Innocent Medical Center yet, so Luo Yi was not too worried about her safety. Furthermore, long before the operation had begun, Xu Heng had already made arrangements for the future — —

She grabbed a piece of clothing from the bed and draped it over her shoulders, but before she left, she unknowingly turned her head back and smiled at Luo Yi who hadn't said a word since she was received, ”What are you doing sitting there foolishly for, come over here!”

It was rare for Helian Rong to think like this for someone else, Liu Yin's heart softened and she replied yes with a soft voice. In the end, she even took the initiative to tiptoe to give him a kiss on her lips.

Liu Yin laughed involuntarily, and intentionally threw a flirtatious glance at him with her head raised. Then, she quickly left before Helian Rong could react, and once again pushed him out of the door.

”Alright,” she said in a teasing tone. ”I'll be waiting for you.”

After saying that, she stuck out her tongue at him, and quickly withdrew her body and closed the door without waiting for Helian Rong's response.

Helian Rong's breath was stuck in his throat, but he did not say much in the end. In the end, he only nodded a little towards the reflection of Liu Yin's figure that was projected in the door and windows, and said in a low voice: ”Watch how I torture you when I turn around.”

Liu Yin also did not speak, she only turned around after seeing that his silhouette had completely disappeared from the bed.

The smile in her eyes had yet to fade, but her expression quickly turned serious.

Luo Yi had so many things she wanted to ask her, so she finally got rid of the Crown Prince who was obstructing him. She opened her mouth, but before he could speak, Liu Yin was the first to shake his head towards her, then walked to the bedside and pressed the hidden twists on the bed: ”I know you have a lot of things that you want to say, but I'm not too clear on the details, go in and ask him.”

”Him?” Luo Yi repeated herself in a daze, and various guesses about the identity of the person flashed across her mind, in the end, they uncontrollably stopped on top of a person who did not even dare to think about it – just in case … It was just that her plan had failed, and he took advantage of the chaos to escape, but she did not know why she could not return to the General's House, so she could only hide in the Drunk Dream Pavilion?

Once this idea appeared, it quickly grew in her mind like a bamboo shoot after a spring rain. Luo Yi thought of this seemingly unrealistic possibility, and anxiously walked forward with trembling steps, but immediately calmed down when she heard the voice inside clearly: ”We have let Miss Luo down.”

It wasn't him …

Luo Yi could not explain the emotions that flashed past her mind at that moment, but after rolling around in the wind, fire, and lightning, he finally fell into a dead silence.

It was as if he didn't even have the strength to interrogate them anymore, so he could only drag his ruined body along as he resigned himself to his fate.

”What did Liu Yin mean when she said that the plan failed? Didn't you figure out the layout of the Royal Tomb long ago? What happened? ”

After a long while, Luo Yi finally spoke with a low voice. What made Liu Liangyun surprised was that she did not ask about Xu Heng's situation first.

Liu Liangyun probably came in a hurry because he didn't have time to bring his folding fan with him, but his habitual movement made him shake his wrist. When he realized that there was nothing in his hand, he slowly pulled it back.

Liu Liangyun paused. ”His Majesty wasn't locked up in the imperial tomb at all.”

”How could that be?” Luo Yi asked: ”Didn't you provide the information? ”Why would there be a mistake?”

”I did provide it, but we underestimated the quality of the medical service.”

Liu Liangyun sighed softly, not caring about Luo Yi's suspicious gaze at all. She continued, ”He was always very careful, in order to not reveal the true location of His Majesty, she placed heavy soldiers at various places. My men followed him for nearly half a month before they managed to discover the location of the imperial mausoleum.

”Recently, there haven't been any strangers entering or exiting the Royal Tomb. No wonder the Medical Examiner can be at ease not setting up the slightest amount of troops here.”

Luo Yi did not sound like she was lying, but she had personally witnessed how good this person's acting was. She did not make any comment, and only pretended to change the topic carelessly after two seconds of silence: ”What about him? He was so smart that even if he entered the Royal Tomb, she wouldn't be able to see the problem. Moreover, his Qing Gong was so good, so it shouldn't be difficult for a single person to escape, right? But why didn't he get out? ”

In fact, no one mentioned Xu Heng's situation to Luo Yi, but for some reason, she knew. Hence, he saved this step and directly asked Liu Liangyun why Xu Heng was unable to escape the imperial tomb.

She trusted Xu Heng, and trusted his abilities, but she had no proof of this trust. She only trusted him with her two silvers.

”The archer hurt the old wound on his arm.” Liu Liangyun answered calmly, as if he had already thought of the answer, ”That's why he fell off the wall …”

”How do you know?”

However, the other party's reaction was also very quick. Hearing her question, he replied without hesitation: ”My people are planted in the Emperor Tomb, at the critical moment, I can fish in the river for them and give them a hand, but Xu Heng … As soon as he fell off the wall, he was surrounded by guards. My people couldn't help it even if they wanted to. ”

He raised his head and looked at Luo Yi, not dodging at all.

Luo Yi looked at him for a moment, then shifted his gaze away first.

Liu Liangyun's reply could be said to be flawless. He didn't even pause when he answered her. His tone was natural and quick as he answered all her questions, but …

Too fast.
