Yun Ruo Lu pondered for a while, then said to Jin Se, "Jin'er, if you meet Bi'er again when you're working, then intentionally avoid her and observe what she's doing. "We must be careful when we do this, we must not let Bi'er find out, right?"

"Yes, I understand." Is the Empress suspecting that Bi'er did something to the hot water? "

Jin Se blinked his large eyes curiously and asked Yun Ruo Man.

"I can't be sure of that, but it's better to be prepared for it. After all, in this palace, we've suffered quite a bit!"

Yun Ruo's eyes narrowed dangerously. Whenever she thought of what Liu Yanhan and Yuchi Chen had done to her, her heart would be filled with surging hatred.

"Empress, were you able to enter the palace with the Prince today?"

Upon seeing Yun Ruo Lu come back, she was even more worried that something had happened to her.

Yun Ruo let out a long sigh, but did not reply. Instead, she walked towards the house with large strides. Jinsi followed closely behind, feeling even more uneasy, he continued to ask, "What's wrong? Is there a problem? "

"Jin'er, if I'm going to leave here, would you like to leave with me or stay here?"

Jinx was stunned and then suddenly reacted. He replied without the slightest hesitation, "Of course it's to leave with the Empress! "Jin'er said that no matter what difficulties we encounter, Jin will always stay by the Empress's side!"

Jin Se's expression and tone were both very firm. Yun Ruo Lu also believed her words because Jin Se was the only one whom she could trust in the Duke's Mansion.

"Very good, we'll leave when the time is right!"

Yun Ruo Lu had made up her mind. As long as she had her mind, she would never let Yuchi Chen find her. She would never be able to return to the palace again.

After returning to the room, Yun Ruo Lu took out the fabric that she had bought earlier and prepared to make a few sets of convenient clothes. She also kept the men's clothing that she had secretly bought from the outside world.

When Jenser came in with a snack, he saw Yun Ruo Lu cutting the fabric. He hastily took the scissors from Yun Ruo Lu and said, "Young lady, let Jin do all this work."

Yun Ruo thought for a while. Although she knew what to make, she really wasn't that good at sewing, so she had no choice but to compromise.

"I'll give you the blueprint later. Just follow it."

After handing over the items to Jinsi, Yun Ruo Lu prepared to go out for a walk. Leisurely hanging around the mansion all day was also boring. She had to find something to do.

"Empress, the sky is almost dark. Does the Empress still want to go out?"

Jin Se asked nervously after seeing Yun Ruo sneaking out.

"It's alright, I'll take a stroll in the prince's mansion and come back soon."

She had been in the manor for such a long time, yet she had never finished visiting the entire place. Although he had just casually strolled around, he had unconsciously appeared outside Yuchi Chen's room.

Yuchi Chen's door was shut tight, and there was no light coming from the inside. There were only two guards guarding the door, and from the looks of it, Yuchi Chen was not in the palace.

"He must have gone out to look for flowers again." Yun Ruo thought.

However, she did not care much about Yuchi Chen. She had just happened to pass by and was about to leave, but an idea suddenly popped up in her mind and stopped him in his tracks.

Since Yuchi Chen was not around, there was no need to go to his room. Perhaps he might discover some secret.

Everyone in the Prince's Mansion knew that Yuchi Chen had a strange temper, and that was that no one was allowed to enter his room. Even Liu Yanhan had never entered his room.

When she thought of this, Yun Ruo Lu's curiosity rose. She thought that if she discovered something, it might become the key to her leaving the palace.

Yun Ruo Lu stealthily ran past the two guards at the door and entered through the window.

Under the dim light of the sun, Yun Ruo could barely see everything in the room. She hadn't expected that Yuchi Chen's room would be filled with books. The four rows of large bookshelves were arranged neatly, just like a study.

However, Yuchi Chen's impression in the hearts of the crowd was one of unruly, unruly, mischievous, and hopeless public image.

She didn't know if Yuchi Chen was hiding it too well, or if he was hiding something else.

After searching Yuchi Chen's room for a moment, Yun Ruo didn't discover anything important. She thought to herself, could it be that something important to me isn't in his room? And in a study or a secret room?

Thinking about the secret chamber, Yun Ruo Lu was even more convinced. Modern rich people all made secret spaces and secret rooms at home, let alone the ancients. The ancients had an even better understanding of the manufacturing of secret chambers!

Thinking of this, Yun Ruo Lu started to look for the switch to the secret room. She knocked on the wall and did not discover anything.

Helpless and exhausted, Yun Ruo was preparing to give up. She had already stayed here for too long. If Yuchi Chen returned, things would be terrible for her.

Just as Yun Ruo walked to the window, she thought for a while before returning it. She ran to the bookshelf and pulled out a book. She thought to herself, "Look at what you're usually reading."

The character of a person can sometimes be found in books he reads.

When he walked up to the bookshelves, Yun Ruo realized why every bookshelf had a book that seemed to be in the wrong place.

Yun Ruo Lu took out all of the books that were in the wrong locations. There was a total of five of them, and placed them in the right places according to the size and classification of the books.

However, something unexpected happened.

Just as the last book was placed back in its original position, the floor that she had previously inspected but had not found anything suddenly opened up to reveal a secret passage of approximately one square meter.

Yun Ruo Lu hesitated as she looked at the secret tunnel. She didn't know what was inside, nor did she know if it would be dangerous to go in.

But since he was already here and had made such an important discovery, wouldn't it be a waste of an opportunity if he didn't go in and take a look? It wasn't often for Yuchi Chen to enter her room.

After thinking for a while, Yun Ruo Lu mustered up her courage and walked towards the secret underground room.

The underground chamber was a very small room. Inside the room were all sorts of large and small boxes. Yun Ruo Lu randomly opened one and took a look, and found all of the priceless treasures inside.

Any single piece of jewelry could last an ordinary civilian for a lifetime.

"Humph!" With so much money, I must be greedy by a lot! "

Yun Ruo thought with disgust in her heart. She opened each and every box one by one and found that the other boxes were all filled with jewelry. She was simply dumbfounded. The wealth here could be added together into a national treasury!

The last box was locked. Yun Ruo Man took out a hairpin from her hair bun and inserted it into the lock. The lock was quickly opened.

She wanted to know what exactly was in the chest that Yuchi Chen had left unlocked for such a precious item.

Yun Ruo Lu carefully opened the lid. It was empty except for a box that contained a painting scroll.

Yun Ruo guessed in her heart, was the treasure map in that box? He then opened the box nervously.

Inside the box was a framed painting. Yun Ruo Lu slowly opened the scroll and a lifelike painting gradually appeared in front of her eyes.

When Yun Ruo Lu saw the person in the painting clearly, she was so shocked that she almost threw the painting onto the ground.

The portrait depicted a girl holding a round fan, standing under a willow tree. Liu Xu floated in the wind like a goose flying in the wind, and the sunset shone on the surface of the lake. The woman's face was like a peach flower. She had a faint smile, and her eyes were alluring and charming. And its appearance was exactly the same as Yun Ruo Lu! Yun Ruo Man found it unbelievable!

How could Yuchi Chen have her portrait? And keep it here? Why she had clearly recovered all her memories yet seemed to be unclear of many things.

Yun Ruo Lu held back her emotions. She was willing to believe that the woman in the painting wasn't her, but rather that she looked similar to her.

However, the painting did not have any inscription nor did it have a name on it, so she did not know who had painted it or who was the woman in it.

The flustered Yun Ruo Lu decided to bring the painting back, perhaps there would be people who knew who the woman in the painting was!

Before leaving, Yun Ruo Lu had taken some money with her. In any case, there were so many treasures here that even Yuchi Chen herself did not have a certain number of treasures. The reason she took them away was to save some poor civilians and to prepare for her escape.

That day, when she kidnapped Liu Yanhan and escaped, she was surrounded by beggars at the entrance of the manor. She did not care whether or not those beggars were deliberately arranged by Yuchi Wugui, but she could tell they were the elderly and children of a poor family.

By the time Yun Ruo You returned to Plum Garden with the painting and the treasure, it was already dark. The Jin Se had already returned to her room. Thus, she didn't tell the Jin Se what she had obtained today.

Her intuition told her that Yuchi Yan definitely knew something, and so she decided to ask Yuchi Yanming about it. This way, when she left, she would be able to rest at ease.

On the morning of the second day, Jinsi brought the clothes she had prepared for Yun Ruo Lu to inspect. When she saw that Jinsi had panda eyes, she knew that she must have been doing it late last night.

She was going to do three sets, and Jinx had done one in one night, and the effect was better than she had expected.

"Empress, what kind of clothes are these? Why does it look so strange? "

Jinsi held the Taekwondo dress and looked left and right, as if she couldn't understand why there would be such a dress.

Fortunately, the clothes were modified by Yun Ruo Lu when she designed them, so they didn't look particularly strange. It was both loose and simple, and was very suitable for martial arts practice.

"I prepared this for you to practice martial arts. Are you satisfied?"

Yun Ruo and her friends were in a very good mood, because the clothes she had made from the brocade brocade brocade suit just happened to be suitable for Yuchi Yan to wear, and she had found an opportunity to have Yuchi Yan come find her.

She had always kept the matter of the painting in mind.
