When Yun Ruo Lu woke up again, she had already returned to the palace. However, Yuchi Chen did not send her back to Plum Garden.

Plum Garden was simple and crude, but it could be said to be sheltered from wind and rain. The courtyard that Yuchi Chen had placed her in was not only overgrown with weeds, but also had many ruins and roaches running about.

Yun Ruo knew that Yuchi Chen was definitely very angry right now, but it was the same no matter where she lived. She did not feel wronged, and instead began to ponder over the problem.

She had been in the station, sipping tea and falling into a coma. Someone must have bribed the boss to make them do something to her. Then, when Yuchi Yanghong arrived, he used the same trick to make Yuchi Yanghong lose consciousness and create the illusion of adultery between the two of them.

As for Yuchi Chen, someone had calculated the time and guided him to the station.

However, she was currently grounded. Even if she wanted to check, she wouldn't have the ability to.

After staying in this broken house for the whole day, Yun Ruo Lu felt cold and hungry at night, and was even more worried about the safety of Jin Se and Yu Feng.

She had secretly escaped from the manor and had been captured by Yuchi Chen. Yuchi Chen would definitely not let them off!

Until late in the night, Yun Ruo was awakened by a gust of cold wind. When she opened her eyes, she saw a shadow flash past the wall.

The figure of the black shadow was somewhat familiar to her, just like the black-clothed masked man she had met before.

When she followed him out, she saw nothing.

Who was that person? Why did he secretly observe her?

Yun Ruo was thinking in her heart. She was sure that someone had come to her place just now.

On the second day, Yun Ruo was still loitering in her room when she heard Xi Feng begging for help from outside. It was only after a long time did Xi Feng come in with his basket.

Seeing the awkward way Yu Feng walked in, Yun Ruo Lu asked doubtfully: "He used a punishment on you?"

Xi Feng did not admit it, and instead changed the topic. "The Empress must be hungry, right? This was personally made for the Empress by this servant. The Empress should eat a little first."

"Where's Jinsi? Why didn't she come? "

Seeing the sumptuous meal in the basket, Yun Ruo did not have the slightest bit of appetite. No matter how Xi Feng tried to persuade her, she refused to eat any of it.

Yu Feng couldn't shake off Yun Ruo Man's stubborn temper, so he could only be honest and say: "Yesterday, the prince was very angry when he brought the mistress back to the mansion, and beat Jinsi and I up to fifty times. "Jinsi's body is weak, and he suffered a chill from last night, so you can't come and see the Empress today."

Yun Ruo You thought about it, and after hesitating for a while she asked: "Xi Feng, are you always telling me that you already know something?"

She recalled that before she had left the Prince's Mansion, Xi Feng had obstructed her. If he hadn't known about it beforehand, he wouldn't have guessed so much.

Hearing Yun Ruo Lu asking about this matter, Yu Feng avoided the topic and was even at a loss as to what to say.

"Empress, this servant …" "Your servant I …"

Seeing that Yu Feng seemed to be in a difficult position, Yun Ruo Lu knew that there must be some unspeakable secret behind it. She didn't force her, and even adopted a gentle policy.

"Yu Feng, don't be afraid. Since you chose to follow me, I will definitely protect you well. Just tell me what you know. It's just that I'm fine.

After Xi Feng heard Yun Ruo Lu's words, he hesitated for a moment before kneeling down and kowtowing, "Empress, Xi Feng has let you down. "I should not have kept this a secret, as the Empress was harmed by a traitor."

Seeing the regretful look on her face, Yun Ruo Lu was even more sure that she knew the truth.

"Esteemed Empress, that day when I went to cook breakfast for the Empress, I overheard a conversation between Bi'er, the maid who was by the esteemed wangfei's side, and a man. This servant was curious and stealthily went forward to eavesdrop. She heard them say that they wanted the prince to see the adultery between the Empress and the Seventh Prince with his own eyes. At that time, this servant should also not have known, so I did not dare speak nonsense and ended up harming the Empress. "

After listening to Yu Feng's description, Yun Ruo finally understood. So all of this was because of Liu Yanhan! From the moment she woke up, this woman had never stopped framing her, and now, she was even more ruthless than before.

This time, her luck was really bad. Yuchi Chen actually found out about the stolen painting. It was likely that from now on, Yuchi Chen would never believe her, much less wish to see her.

Seeing that Yun Ruo Lu was lost in thought, Xi Feng felt ashamed, and kept sighing and wiping away his tears.

"Yu Feng, I don't blame you. How long did you follow Liu Yanhan for? "

Yun Ruo Lu suddenly asked about Liu Yan Han's matter, which stunned Xi Feng for a while, but quickly replied truthfully: "About three years."

"Then you know her habits and other things?"

Yu Feng suddenly realized something and a light flashed in his eyes. He asked directly, "What does the Empress want to know?"

Yun Ruo Lu thought about it for a while, "Tell me everything you know!"

This time, Liu Yanhan really pissed her off. If she didn't counterattack, she really wouldn't even know how she died. She was a top female assassin in the 21st century, how could she be willing to be slaughtered here? She had to teach Liu Yan a lesson this time!

Xi Feng nodded and told everything he knew about Liu Yanhan to Yun Ruo. It was as big as Liu Yanhan's unknown secrets, and as small as her normal lifestyle.

After understanding the situation, Yun Ruo Lu told Yu Feng to go back and rest, while she started to plan out the steps to deal with Liu Yanhan.

After she cleaned up Liu Yanhan, she left. Would this really infuriate Yuchi Chen to death?

Yun Ruo Lu was confined for five whole days. Other than Yu Feng who brought her food every other day, no one had come close to her.

However, she had also used these five days to properly recover her vitality, so her plan of revenge and escape were nearly perfect.

However, Yun Ruo Lu found it strange. According to the information provided by Yu Feng, Yuchi Chen had been bringing women back from the outside every day for the past few days. Liu Yanhan didn't make a ruckus, and she even got along well with the new women.

Could it be that Liu Yanhan was only targeting her? Or perhaps, Liu Yanhan knew some secrets about the painting.

That night, Yun Ruo Lu changed into the night clothes brought by Yu Feng and quietly left the forbidden courtyard.

However, this time, the person she wanted to investigate wasn't Yuchi Chen, but Liu Yanhan!

Yun Ruo Lu came to Liu Yan Han's room familiarly and peeked outside the window.

Luckily, Liu Yanhan hadn't rested yet. Instead, she was in her bedroom, discussing something with Bi'er, her personal maid.

Their voices were soft, but Yun Ruo Lu could still hear what they were saying through her lips.

"How is the investigation going? Are you sure that it will be in these few days? "

Liu Yanhan's expression was serious and her eyes were sharp. She seemed to have found her enemy, and her entire body was filled with killing intent.

"This servant has already ordered some people to investigate. It must be within these few days. Moreover, Prince has been entering the palace every day recently, so there shouldn't be any mistakes."

Bi'er said with certainty. From the treacherous looks of the master and servant duo, it was obvious that there was nothing good to be done.

Yun Ruo Lu really wanted to know what they were planning, so she leaned in closer to take a look at the layout of Liu Yan Han's room.

She learned a big secret about Liu Yanhan from Yu Feng, so as long as she took advantage of the opportunity, she would be able to control her.

Liu Yanhan thought about it for a long time before asking again, "Are the killers ready?"

"Yes, the twelve assassins are all elites that have been trained. Nothing will go wrong for sure!"

Hearing this, even Yun Ruo Lu was a little surprised. She didn't think that the usually weak Liu Yanhan would dare to hire a hitman to kill someone!

It seemed that there was still an unfathomable person hiding by Yuchi Chen's side.

"Have them wait outside the city every day. As soon as they see their target, immediately attack! Do you understand? "

"Yes!" "Empress, don't worry. No matter what, we won't fail again."

Knowing the master and servant's plans, Yun Ruo Lu was even more disgusted with Liu Yan Han and felt that she was more ruthless than herself.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew open the window that Yun Ruo Lu had eavesdropped on, extinguishing all of the candles in the room.

Liu Yanhan immediately looked in the direction where Yun Ruo Lu was and shouted in anger, "Who is it!"

Yun Ruo You originally wanted to turn around and flee, but seeing that the candles in the surroundings had all been extinguished, she came up with a plan. She used her fake voice to speak in a miserable voice, "Empress, did you forget about Huan Er?"

Huan'Er was Liu Yanhan's concubine. Because Yuchi Chen had once spoiled Huan'Er when she was drunk, she was hated by Liu Yanhan, so she threw Huan'Er into the lake and drowned.

According to Xi Feng, Huan'er was already two months pregnant, and even Yuchi Chen did not know about this.

Hearing "Huan'Er", Liu Yanhan was so scared that she started trembling. She hid behind Bi'Er and didn't dare to come out.

"Who dares to play tricks on my esteemed mistress? Let's see if I won't rip apart your true appearance!"

Bi'er was a bit bolder. She picked up an item from the table and threw it towards Yun Ruo Lu. Yun Ruo Lu caught the item and felt it smooth, as if it was made of jade.

However, there was no light that was too dark, so she couldn't clearly see what it was. She could only put it away properly before she went back to see what it was.

"Huan'er won't give up. Huan'er will come back!"

Yun Ruo knew she couldn't delay any longer, so she left after saying those words. His lightning fast speed made it easy for people to suspect that he was a ghost.

After returning to her residence, Yun Ruo took out the item she received earlier and looked at it. It really was a jade pendant. However, that jade pendant was a rare purple color and it was extremely good. One look was enough to tell that it was priceless.

Yun Ruo Lu placed the round jade pendant under the candlelight and discovered that there was actually a very small line of text inside. The text was so crooked that it was hard to tell what it was.

If she didn't guess wrong, this jade pendant must be very important to Liu Yanhan.

As for Bi'er, she was in a state of panic and threw out this item before she could see it clearly, thus giving this treasure to her.
