Yun Ruo thought about it, nodded her head in agreement, and let the women who were causing trouble leave. However, she couldn't just let this matter go like this. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to have peaceful days in the future.

After sending the women away, Yun Ruo Lu went to see Yuchi Chen alone. If that was what Yuchi Chen had ordered, she wanted to know what he wanted to do.

He hurried to Yuchi Chen's study, only to discover that the study door was shut tight in the middle of the day. According to Yuchi Chen's habit, he would definitely be in the room at this time!

Yun Ruo Lu found it strange, and asked the guard at the door, "Is the prince in the study?"

The guard looked at Yun Ruo Lu with a strange expression. He was silent for two seconds before he replied, "Your highness is discussing the matters of the kingdom with the ministers in the court. Your highness, please go back first!"

Discuss national affairs? Heh, it was indeed the first time. Everyone in the capital knew that among the seven princes, the Fifth Prince was the one who had the most free time and enjoyed himself to the fullest.

Something was off! It was really strange!

Yun Ruo guessed to herself as she pretended to go back, thinking of a way to approach the study and eavesdrop on their conversation.

Coincidentally, just as Yun Ruo walked to the hallway, she saw Liu Yanhan carrying her pet dog, and behind her was a group of maids walking towards the garden.

Yun Ruo Lu immediately came up with a plan. She ran to the kitchen to find a piece of fragrant bone, tied it with a string, and followed him to the garden.

When she saw Liu Yanhan put the fox-like puppy on the ground to play, she hid behind a fake mountain and threw the rope in her hand out.

The puppy smelled the bone and ran towards Yun Ruo Lu excitedly.

When Liu Yanhan wasn't paying attention, Yun Ruo held the puppy and ran off, returning to Yuchi Chen's study.

Yun Ruo Lu gave her new medicine to the puppy to eat, let it hallucinate, and then put it on the ground.

After taking the medicine, the puppy became very excited and ran towards the guard while barking.

"Isn't that esteemed wangfei's puppy?" Why did you come here? " A guard recognized the dog at a glance.

"Hurry, capture it and send it back to esteemed wangfei. Don't let it continue to shout and disturb the prince!"

The other guard said, and the two of them went to catch the dog. Yun Ruo Lu took the opportunity to avoid the two of them, and flipped over from the back of the house to the roof.

When she looked down, she could only see Yuchi Chen's back. Furthermore, she was lying on the rooftop, unable to hear what was being said.

Opposite Yuchi Chen sat a young man with distinct facial features. He looked extremely handsome and had the air of a hot-blooded man. Judging from his clothes, he should be a major general.

With her good eyesight, Yun Ruo Lu could clearly see the words that the major general's lips were about to say.

If she had not seen wrongly, that person should have said that the Third Marquis would return to the capital in a few days.

Yun Ruo Lu had no impression of this Third Marquis, she had only heard it from others. The Third Prince, Yuchi Xuan, was the most valiant in the Yuchi Dynasty, and leading troops to war was one of his strengths. And this time, the Third Marquis was sent by the Emperor to visit the country of Lan Xue.

During the battle between Yuchi Yan and Yuchi Chen, Yuchi Yan had mentioned this Third Marquis, Yuchi Xuan. Suddenly, Yun Ruo Lu was very curious about this Third Marquis, she wanted to see what kind of person he was.

Other than hearing the news, Yun Ruo Lu also saw that the major general had said that there was movement at the border and needed to be more vigilant.

Regarding these matters, Yun Ruo did not feel at ease at all. She did not care about the national affairs or the struggles between countries.

After observing for a long time, Yun Ruo realized that the major general's name was Yun Jin, Ke Yunjin. He was the son of General Ke, and also one of Yuchi Chen's trusted aides.

Just when Yun Ruo Lu felt that there was no need to listen anymore and was preparing to leave, she accidentally stepped on the tiles because she got up too quickly.

Although it was only a slight shattering sound, it immediately attracted the attention of the two people in the room.

Just as she was about to escape, she heard the sound of the door opening, and a flash of silver armor appeared in front of her.

"Who dares!?" "He actually dares to eavesdrop here!"

Ke Yunjin didn't know Yun Ruo. She only noticed that someone was eavesdropping and wanted to go over to catch that person out of habit.

Seeing Ke Yunjin make her move, Yun Ruo tried to avoid the attack but tried to think of a way to escape. If Yuchi Chen were to see her in a moment, it would be impossible for her to dodge.

However, Ke Yunjin's martial arts was simply too high, making it impossible for her to get rid of him. Helpless, Yun Ruo Lu had no choice but to throw out the newly developed cartilage powder.

A cloud of white ash filled the air. Ke Yunjin was unable to dodge in time and quickly retreated a few steps, using her long sleeves to cover her nose. However, due to the inhalation of some medicinal powder, she began to feel weak.

"Stop!"

At this moment, Yuchi Chen's voice rang out from not too far away. No matter how unwilling Yun Ruo Lu was, what she didn't want to happen had still happened.

She could only imagine what kind of cruel treatment Yuchi Chen would inflict on her in the future, knowing that she was the one eavesdropping.

However, things went beyond her expectations. Yuchi Chen stood not far away and said, "Both of you, come in!" He then turned around and returned to the house.

Yun Ruo Lu and Ke Yunjin looked at each other. Their eyes revealed the same astonishment, but their thoughts were different.

Ke Yunjin walked into the house in a daze. There were only two shadows around her. If it wasn't for his strong willpower, she would have already been unconscious by now.

Yun Ruo Lu did not say anything, nor did she give Ke Yunjin any antidote. She just stood silently within the house, waiting for Yuchi Chen to finish her sentence.

"You sure have a lot of guts! You actually dared to eavesdrop on This King's conversation! "

Yuchi Chen gritted his teeth as he spoke. He then glanced at Ke Yunjin's swaying body and asked, "What did you do to him?"

"It's just some knockout drugs. No one will die."

Yun Ruo's reply came quickly. Although her heart was pounding, her face showed no signs of fear. This caused Yuchi Chen to feel defeated.

"Impudent!" You actually dare to use these knockout drugs in the Prince's Mansion! "

Hearing the word 'knockout drug', Yuchi Chen immediately thought of its use. He did not expect Yun Ruo Lu to be researching medicine on her own. Could it be that she wanted to borrow the medicine to escape from the palace?

Yun Ruo Lu did not answer, but thought in her heart, "So what if it's a knockout drug? When I've refined all the other poisons, will I still be afraid of you!?"

Hearing the conversation between the two, the one who was complaining was Ke Yunjin. The two of them treated themselves as invisible people or air. They were only concerned with their own quarrels, so no one cared about his feelings.

As she thought of this, Ke Yunjin felt wronged. Her hazy eyes looked at the chair beside her. She staggered over and sat down before looking for water to drink.

He had just taken in a bit of knockout powder, but he hadn't expected it to be so potent. Furthermore, it had lasted for such a long time. It seemed that he must not underestimate this woman in the future.

Yuchi Chen's gaze swept across Yun Ruo Lu's body like countless small flying knives. It was as if he was so angry that he wanted to cut her into a thousand pieces.

It was as if Yun Ruo You was clad in golden armor. No matter how sharp Yuchi Chen's gaze was, she was able to stand firmly in place unaffected.

It was also because of this that Yuchi Chen noticed that something was wrong. He felt that Yun Ruo Lu seemed to know something, and not only did her courage increase, even her tone of voice became arrogant.

After a moment of silence, Yuchi Chen asked doubtfully, "Did you take away the treasure that was lost in this king's bedroom?"

Since Yun Ruo and You Yu had been able to eavesdrop on their conversation without them noticing, it shouldn't have been difficult for her to sneak into his bedroom to steal the painting.

However, he still couldn't understand one thing. If Yun Ruo Lu had discovered that painting, she should have questioned him. Why would she have taken it away without making a sound?

Yun Ruo knew that Yuchi Chen would suspect her sooner or later, so she was prepared and replied calmly, "If Your Highness suspects anything, you can send people to search Plum Garden."

"Humph!" It's best if This King does not know that it's you. Otherwise, This King will definitely not let you off! "

"In that case, can I go back now?"

The expression on Yun Ruo Lu's face did not matter, allowing Yuchi Chen to ignite his anger just by looking at her. He would rather see her be afraid of him and hate him, even if it meant hating him. He didn't want to be like that who didn't care about him and didn't care about him at all.

"Yun Ruo Lu! "How dare you!"

Yuchi Chen let out a furious roar, jolting the sleepy Ke Yunjin awake. After drinking a few cups of water, he was now much more clear-headed than before.

Ke Yunjin and Yuchi Chen could be said to be good friends who had grown up together. This was the first time he had seen Yuchi Chen fly into a rage over a woman.

This time, he had just returned from the border pass, and it seemed like he had missed out on quite a few good scenes along the way.

"Your Highness, what else do you want?"

Yun Ruo Lu was baffled. She thought that Yuchi Chen hating her must have something to do with the woman in the painting. She was truly pitiful. She had actually innocently become someone else's scapegoat.

"What kind of attitude is this!?"

"Heh heh, the prince has sent people to find me to humiliate Mei Yuan. Don't tell me the prince has an even better attitude?!"

When she thought about the group of shrews outside the Plum Garden, Yun Ruo's heart was filled with anger. To her, this manor was already far too terrible.

"What did you say?" This King wants you to go to Plum Garden to humiliate you? "

Yuchi Chen appeared to be unaware of what was going on. However, Yun Ruo Lu was so angry that she did not notice it.

"Isn't it?"

Yun Ruo rebutted with a question, causing the fire in Yuchi Chen's heart to flare up. Was she suspecting him?

As a prince, how could he be so bored?

"Humph!" "Get out!"

Yuchi Chen was so infuriated that he didn't know what to say. The only thing he could do was ask Yun Ruo Lu to retreat quickly. Otherwise, he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't be angered to the point of wanting to kill her.
