Yun Ruo Lu really felt that this news brought by Jin Se was strange.

Yuchi Chen had left in such a rage the previous day, and now he was doing such a weird thing. Was it to vent his anger or to seek justice for her?

However, she did not want to think about it, because she would not have much interaction with Yuchi Chen.

"He only punished a few of his subordinates, what's there to be surprised about?"

Yun Ruo Lu did not seem to care. She would not forgive Yuchi Chen for his actions.

"Also …" Also, His Highness had invited the Seventh Prince to visit him. "Will he …"

After that, Jin Se didn't dare to say anything more, while Yun Ruo Lu inwardly sighed. Yuchi Chen must have suspected that there was something going on between her and Yuchi Yan. If Yuchi Yan wanted to prove his innocence, he would definitely say what she had asked that day.

As long as Yuchi Yan mentioned it, Yuchi Chen would definitely know about the painting. He had no idea what kind of argument it would lead to.

Thus, she had to stop Yuchi Yan from coming to the royal estate.

"Jin'er, when will the Seventh Prince arrive?"

Yun Ruo Lu planned to stop Yuchi Yan before he arrived at the palace, or inform him not to leak any information. It would be best if she didn't meet up with Yuchi Chen.

"He should be at Eunuch's time. I heard that the Seventh Prince left the city today and will only be back at night."

When you are young... Yun Ruo Lu estimated the time in her mind. It was around five to seven in the evening. It seemed that she still had plenty of time to prepare.

"Jin'er, where is the prince today? Are you in the prince's palace? "

"Your highness has just left the palace. What's the matter? Is there something wrong with the Empress? The prince's anger has not yet subsided, so it's best for the Empress not to go and find him. "

Upon recalling what happened yesterday, Jinsi still had a look of lingering fear on her face.

Yun Ruo thought about it and decided to leave the city to find Yuchi Yan. Even if he wanted to tell Yuchi Chen the truth, she had to find out who the woman in the painting was.

Thinking of this, Yun Ruo Man took out the stolen painting of the Duke's Mansion from the Dark Pavilion under her bed and wrapped it with a cloth.

"Empress, what is this?"

Seeing the painting, Jinsi doubtfully asked, thinking, could it be that the thing that the prince is looking for really is at her house?

"Don't ask too much, help me change into men's clothing. I'm going out of the city."

As Yun Ruo Lu spoke, she took out the men's clothing in the cupboard and quickly changed into it. She then carried the picture scroll wrapped in cloth on her back.

"Empress, where are you going?" Is he going to look for Seventh Prince? "

Seeing Yun Ruo changing into her men's attire, Xi Feng, who had just come in from outside, asked curiously. She had more or less heard the conversation between Yun Ruo Lu and Jin Se inside the house.

"Right. Stay in the manor. I'll be back soon."

"Empress, don't be anxious." The information Jinx knows may not be true, be careful not to fall into the trap. "

Xi Feng reminded him. If she hadn't guessed incorrectly, someone must have sent out the news on purpose. Otherwise, how would they know so much in this deserted Plum Garden?

Yun Ruo Lu did not have enough time to think about it. Even if it was a trap, she had to figure out the truth of the matter this time.

"I will be careful. All of you can wait for my return in peace."

After Yun Ruo Lu said this, she took her things and left. Jin Se and Yu Feng were also helpless, so they could only obediently stay at the mansion to guard Plum Garden.

After leaving the palace, Yun Ruo Lu bought a horse at the market and rode out of the city quickly.

Although she didn't know where Yuchi Yan had gone, she knew that there was a relay station outside the city, and she could wait for him there. Moreover, whether it was exiting or entering the city, the relay station was a road that had to be passed through.

By the time Yun Ruo Lu rushed to the inn, it was already noon. There was still a long time until Yuchi Yan returned, so she stayed at the inn to inquire about the situation.

From the words of the postman, Yun Ruo and her husband had indeed left the city in the morning. As for what they were going to do, no one knew.

After confirming this point, Yun Ruo Lu settled down in peace.

Yun Ruo Lu found a room with a good position. When she opened the window, she could see the situation on the main road. If she didn't close the door, she could see all the people in the hall below.

There were many people inside the relay station, but it was not noisy. There were a few who drank and punched, but the whole scene gave off a strange feeling.

After looking at the situation in the hall below, she closed the door. She only needed to stay by the window and watch Yuchi Yan return.

After waiting for more than two hours, a knock came from the door. Yun Ruo Lu asked warily, "Who is it?"

"Sir, I'm here to change your tea!"

The waiter's voice came from outside the door. Only then did Yun Ruo Lu feel at ease to open the door, and let the waiter put down the tea and send him off.

She would only need to wait for another two hours before Yuchi Yan would pass by.

Yun Ruo leisurely took a sip of tea. Not long after she drank it, she felt dizzy and unable to raise her head. A wave of fatigue hit her.

Looking at the teacup and kettle on the table, Yun Ruo suddenly realized something, but it was too late, she didn't even have time to stand up before she fainted.

At this moment, the door to the room was pushed open, and the waiter and the shop owner entered with their heads full of dirty bricks.

"Boss, what should we do next?"

The waitress checked on Yun Ruo Lu to make sure she was unconscious before speaking up.

"Stupid ah, what else can you do? Of course, act according to plan!"

The shop owner knocked on the head of the waiter as he lectured, then the two of them carried Yun Ruo Lu onto the bed and put her down.

"When the other fat sheep arrives, our mission will have been accomplished!"

The waiter rubbed his hands together, looking very excited.

"The other fat sheep is not easy to deal with. If you are still so clumsy, you better be careful not to lose your head!"

Yun Ruo Lu slept for an unknown amount of time. When she woke up, the room was already pitch-black, and she couldn't even see her fingers in front of her.

Just as he was about to get off the bed to light the lamp, he suddenly felt that there was someone by his side. He was not wearing any clothes at all.

This shock was not small. It was enough to scare her so much that she directly kicked that person down.

He heard the man groan as he fell to the ground. He seemed to have just woken up. One of his hands was still on the edge of the bed, as if he was trying to climb back up.

Yun Ruo Lu was instantly enraged. She touched her own body and discovered that her outer clothes had already been taken off. Furthermore, her hair was still dishevelled as it draped over her shoulders. She was completely unable to imagine what they had done previously.

"Who are you!?" Why is it in my room! "

Yun Ruo Lu grabbed that person's hand and twisted it. The person was immediately awakened by the pain.

"How dare you! You actually dare to attack This King! "

That person also angrily rebuked her. Yun Ruo Lu instantly felt that something was wrong, why was this voice so familiar …

"You are …"

Seventh Prince hadn't even said the two words when Yuchi Yan had already guessed something and hurriedly lit the candles. Only then did the two of them realize that something was wrong. They were so shocked that they couldn't speak.

"This is bad!" Sister-in-law, hurry up and leave this place! "

Yuchi Yan suddenly realized something and ran over to hold onto Yun Ruo Lu, wanting her to leave as soon as possible.

However, before Yun Ruo Lu could get off the bed, the door was kicked open by someone. It was Yuchi Chen!

Yun Ruo knew that no matter what she said, she would not be able to explain herself. Someone must have set them up, and then informed Yuchi Chen of their attempted adultery.

Seeing Yuchi Yan and Yun Ruo holding hands, Yuchi Chen didn't say anything. He strode forward and punched Yuchi Yan in the face, showing no mercy.

"Fifth brother, listen to my explanation!"

Before Yuchi Yan had a chance to explain, another punch came flying down from Yuchi Chen's fist.

Yun Ruo pulled on the clothes on the ground, wanting to stop him, but she couldn't. And just like that, Yuchi Yan did not retaliate at all, allowing Yuchi Chen to beat him up.

"You two adulterers! You actually dare to do such a shameful thing behind This King's back!? "

Yuchi Chen was infuriated. Every blow he delivered would leave a wound on Yuchi Yan's body.

"Stop! Believe it or not, we didn't do anything! Someone set us up! "

Yun Ruo Lu could not bear to watch any longer, so she opened her mouth to stop her. As soon as she spoke, Yuchi Chen became even angrier and grabbed her by the throat and said fiercely: "Really? Could it be that someone carried you from the palace all the way here? "

Upon saying that, Yun Ruo Lu was jolted awake. It turned out that all of this was a trap that had been set long ago.

Inviting the Seventh Prince to the mansion was just a bait.

"I didn't do anything to let you down. Even if you killed me, I didn't."

Yun Ruo Lu looked at Yuchi Chen resolutely. Just as Yuchi Chen was about to calm down and ponder over the matter, the painting that Yun Ruo Long had brought with her fell out of her sleeve.

The painting rolled on the floor for a moment before revealing the painting inside.

Seeing the painting, Yuchi Chen could no longer bear to believe every word that Yun Ruo Lu said. The power in her hands increased drastically, making it difficult for Yun Ruo Lu to breathe. Her vision darkened and she once again lost consciousness.

Before Yun Ruo Lu had fainted, she had felt a sense of relief that she had never felt before. Perhaps she had just died like this, so that she could leave this world.

Seeing Yun Ruo Lu's relaxed smile, the hatred in Yuchi Chen's heart grew. He would not let her die so easily. He would torture her until she died!

This sudden thought made Yuchi Chen, who was on the verge of going crazy, go easy on her. He did not actually take Yun Ruo Lu's life, but rather made her faint.

Only Yuchi Chen and Yuchi Yan were left in the room. Yuchi Yan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with a calm smile, "Fifth brother, you are a wise man. You still can't stay calm when you encounter her. Do you really hate her that much? "

Yuchi Chen did not answer, but left a few words behind before he left, "From now on, don't call me Fifth Brother, and don't let me see you again!"

Finished speaking, Yuchi Chen brought Yun Ruo downstairs and left in the carriage.

Inside the carriage, Yuchi Chen looked at that familiar yet unfamiliar face, the pain in her heart could no longer be described with words. Did he really hate her? He didn't know, and he didn't want to know.

He knew that whatever harm she had done to him, he would take revenge!
