After finishing his sentence, Yuchi Chen looked complacently at Yuchi Xuan, who seemed to be at a loss. Deep hatred was hidden in his eyes.

Yun Ruo glanced at the proud Yuchi Chen and then at the disappointed Yuchi Xuan. Her heart was in a mess, as though there were a hundred fawns in her heart, causing her to not know what to do.

Yuchi Yi didn't finish his sentence. He looked thoughtfully at the three people who had rich feelings for him, and waited for Yun Ruo Lu's reply.

As if she had made up her mind, Yun Ruo Lu suddenly raised her head and looked resolutely at Yuchi Yi. There wasn't the slightest hint of fear in her eyes as she said word by word, "Your Majesty, I am the Fifth Prince's secondary wife, but that is not because I wish to. He Li! "

Hearing this, even Yuchi Yi was stunned. His eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Yun Ruo Lu. He felt that this woman was quite interesting.

The look in Yuchi Xuan's eyes became even more complicated. He stared at Yun Ruo Lu's back, unable to tell what she was thinking.

Yuchi Chen's mind exploded with a 'boom'. He had never expected that Yun Ruo Lu would be so bold as to say such words in front of so many people.

Want to go with him? It would be impossible for him to do this for the rest of his life! Even if he didn't agree with this prince!

"Yun Ruo Lu, how dare you!"

Yuchi Chen's angry shout came from behind. Yun Ruo Lu ignored her and continued to speak to the emperor, "Your majesty, although this humble girl is guilty of deceiving the emperor while pretending to be a man, this humble girl will accept the punishment. But just now, this commoner had done a great service to save the emperor, so she should be rewarded. Therefore, the Emperor must clearly reward and punish them, and fulfill the only wish of a woman of the people! "

And it was his only wish! When Yuchi Chen heard this, his veins began to bulge. She wanted nothing more than to tear Yun Ruo Lu to shreds. She didn't even put him in her eyes!

Yuchi Yi hesitated for quite some time. Seeing how terrifyingly dark Yuchi Chen's expression was, he thought to himself, if this really works out, then wouldn't the Fifth Prince become a laughingstock in the future?

Therefore, Yuchi Yi refused, "I cannot agree to your request. Since you are already the Fifth Prince's secondary wife, you should do your duty well. "In the past, only the word 'repudiation' and 'separation' were mentioned. Tonight, you shall return with the Fifth Prince and live a good life. You shall not cause any more trouble!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Ruo knew that there was no hope. Not only was she unable to escape from Yuchi Chen's clutches, she had also completely offended him.

She could imagine how much Yuchi Chen hated her at this moment. She was also extremely unwilling to return to the dark of the night at the Fifth Prince's estate.

But now, no one could help her. Even Yuchi Xuan just stood there, not saying a word.

Due to the appearance of the two assassins, the banquet had swept away the Emperor's interest, so everyone had to leave early and go back to their own residences.

Before she left, Yun Ruo Yao had secretly found Yun Ruo Lu and secretly instructed her not to be impulsive. As long as one year passed, everything would change.

Yun Ruo Man didn't understand what Yun Ruo Yao meant by that, but she wasn't in the mood to think about it. She simply nodded her head in agreement.

Before leaving the palace, Yuchi Chen had purposely asked Liu Yanhan to sit in another carriage, while he and Yun Ruo sat alone in the same carriage.

Within the carriage, Yun Ruo and Yuchi Chen sat facing each other, staring at each other in embarrassment. Neither of them wanted to take the initiative to speak a single word.

Yun Ruo Lu's martial arts had increased tremendously, and she was no longer as strong as they were in the past. Therefore, no matter how strong the aura from Yuchi Chen was, she was not afraid of him.

The carriage arrived at the palace shakily. Yuchi Chen tossed her into the Plum Garden, ignoring the fact that the number of guards had increased by ten times. Even when she went to the toilet, there was someone standing guard outside.

It seemed that Yuchi Chen had grown in intelligence. If she wanted to flee the manor, it would be even harder than ascending to the heavens.

On the second day, Jinsi ran back while carrying a bundle, shocking Yun Ruo Lu who asked, "Why aren't you staying in the palace? Why did you come back?"

Yun Ruo Lu was a bit angry, but she did her best to get her out of the palace. This was great, but she just ran back into the cage without saying a word.

"Empress, Jin'er heard about what happened last night, so he asked Xiangqing to find a way to let me out of the palace. "Xiangqing also wishes that I could stay by your side."

As if afraid that Yun Ruo You would chase her away, her eyes became like water from a faucet as they continuously flowed.

Since Yun Ruo Lu had no other choice, she could only sigh helplessly and let Jin Se stay.

This time, Yuchi Chen's attitude changed. Although she was being watched closely like a prisoner, there was no shortage of delicious food. He even tacitly agreed to let Jinsi return home.

Yun Ruo thought to herself, 'Did this Yuchi Chen suffer a blow or did he suddenly come to a realisation?' But even if he was nice to her, she wouldn't feel the least bit grateful. Because this heartless Prince's Mansion had already broken her heart.

Just like this, Yun Ruo's days in the palace passed by unexpectedly without incident. No one disturbed her, nor did anything major happen. Even Yuchi Chen did not appear once.

The calmer the calm, the more Yun Ruo Lu felt that there was something wrong. Based on Yuchi Chen's temper, why would she release all her anger in front of her? How could she not pay any attention to this matter for so long?

This situation was truly strange, to the point that she felt uneasy for the past few days. Even if Yuchi Chen came to quarrel with her, or to have a fierce fight with her, she would feel more at ease.

But right now, other than being in the Plum Garden, she could not go anywhere else. There were people who brought food every day on time. She had no idea what was going on in the Prince's Mansion.

Not only her, even Jinsi was confined within the Plum Garden. They could not take even half a step, and no one could take a step inside.

It was a good thing that Plum Garden still had a few books to read. Otherwise, with her restless personality, she would have surely suffocated to death in Plum Garden.

"Empress, you said that we have already been back for three days, and that Prince did not even come to see you. Since you are so heartless, why must you be trapped here? Wouldn't it be better to be blind? "

Yun Ruo sat in the courtyard, basking in the sun as she read. Jinsi also sat beside her, and would only mutter a few words when she was bored.

"He's sick!"

Yun Ruo replied nonchalantly. In truth, she could not understand what Yuchi Chen was trying to do. Was it that interesting to fight back and forth like this?

"Empress, lower your voice. If someone hears you, it will be troublesome."

Hearing Yun Ruo Lu scolding Yuchi Chen so casually, Jinsi was so nervous that his heart almost jumped out of his throat.

Seeing how unmoved Yun Ruo Lu was, Jin Se sighed helplessly. He thought that they had finally escaped, but who would have thought that they would return to their original spots so quickly.

Jin Se felt that it was a pity no matter how she thought about it. She then looked at Yun Ruo Lu who was currently focused on reading and carefully probed, "Empress, are you still planning on escaping?"

Yun Ruo closed the book, looked into Jin Se's eyes, and said seriously: "Run! Why didn't you escape! "

The last time she ran away, she came back because she met Yuchi Xuan by accident, so in the end, she went around the capital. If she could escape this time, she wouldn't be restricted by anyone.

"But …" Jin Se looked at the heavily guarded Plum Garden and said with some difficulty, "The current situation doesn't seem to be very optimistic."

"There are plenty of opportunities. I just need to be firm in my decision."

Jinsi nodded as if he understood something. Suddenly, he saw something and shouted towards the entrance of the Plum Garden, "Hey! You... You, stop right there! "

Seeing that Jin Se was so excited, Yun Ruo Lu also curiously raised her head and looked outside the door, just in time to see Ke Yunjin passing by.

Hearing Jin Se's voice, Ke Yunjin's face was filled with astonishment. She stared at Jin Se in a daze and did not know what to do.

Seeing that Ke Yunjin had indeed stopped her steps, Jinping immediately rushed to the entrance of the Plum Garden. When she was three steps away from the entrance, she was stopped by the guard at the entrance pulling out a saber.

"Heh heh, Miss Jinther, what do you want from me?"

Ke Yunjin had met with Jinsi a few times, so it wasn't strange for her to recognize her.

Jin Se placed her hands on her hips and humphed complacently, "Last time, you injured my esteemed mistress riding a horse, but you still haven't officially talked about modesty. Why are you still pretending you didn't see me today?"

Back then when Ke Yunjin rode his horse to injure Yun Ruo Lu, she was also a guard of the Third Marquis' Mansion, so Jin Se's words made Ke Yunjin feel a little baffled. However, when he saw Yun Ruo You in the courtyard, he already felt relieved.

Who would have thought that it would be her!

Ke Yunjin muttered to himself, 'What a coincidence. I've heard a bit about what happened in the Emperor's birthday palace, but I never expected it to be such a coincidence.

Seeing Yun Ruo Lu, Ke Yunjin also felt a bit embarrassed. She stood at the entrance of the Plum Garden and clasped her fists towards Yun Ruo Lu. "I have offended the Empress that day. Please forgive me!"

Yun Ruo Lu drank with Ke Yunjin once. She knew that he was an upright person, so she smiled at him to show her understanding.

Jin Se seemed to intentionally want to make life difficult for Ke Yunjin. They were just a threshold away from each other, so Jin Se kept staring with wide eyes to express his displeasure. Ke Yunjin merely smiled and didn't argue with Jin Se.

Watching from the side, Yun Ruo suddenly felt that the two of them matched each other quite well.

"Yun Jin, what are you doing over there!"

At this moment, Yuchi Chen's voice suddenly sounded from outside the door. When Jinsi saw Yuchi Chen, she let out a loud cry and ran back into the courtyard, causing Ke Yunjin to burst out laughing.

Hearing Yuchi Chen's voice, Yun Ruo opened the book and continued to read. She did not even raise her head to look at the door.

The relationship between her and him could be considered as completely hostile. It was a hundred times better to not see than to see.

Yuchi Chen purposely walked to Ke Yunjin's side. He seemed to be talking to Ke Yunjin, but he had been using the corner of his eye to observe the situation in the courtyard. Seeing that Yun Ruo Lu actually didn't even lift her head, he was immediately infuriated.
