C100

She had accompanied Yuchi Xuan around the Third Marquis Estate as a guard, so how could he fall in love with her?

Could it be … He already knew she was a woman?

"You already knew that, right?"

Yun Ruo Lu suddenly thought of something, and asked excitedly. She thought back to the two encounters in the bamboo forest pool and the embarrassing incidents that had happened afterwards. This clearly showed that Yuchi Xuan had long suspected her identity.

Yuchi Xuan nodded and explained, "I know you aren't a man, but I didn't know you were fifth brother's imperial concubine."

What he said was the truth. Otherwise, he wouldn't be in so much pain now.

"Since third brother knows that she is this king's concubine now, isn't it a little inappropriate for you to meet here?"

At this moment, Yuchi Chen's voice came from behind. When Yun Ruo Lu turned around to see Yuchi Chen, her back was covered in cold sweat.

She had not expected Yuchi Chen to find her way here, and he had caught her red-handed. She was finished.

A hint of surprise flashed through Yuchi Xuan's eyes when he saw Yuchi Chen, but he did not say anything.

Yuchi Chen did not bring anyone with him. Instead, he followed behind by himself. He had been secretly eavesdropping on their conversation. When he saw Yuchi Xuan hug Yun Ruo Lu, he wished he could immediately jump out and kill Yuchi Xuan.

Fortunately, that woman was sensible and knew how to maintain her distance. Otherwise, even if he had to endure the pain, he definitely wouldn't let such a big green hat go!

Yuchi Xuan did not look too good either, but his eyes were focused on Yun Ruo Lu. Even when Yuchi Chen appeared, his eyes never left her body for even half a second.

Yuchi Chen walked up to Yun Ruo Lu. She had thought that Yuchi Chen would fly into a rage or say something unbearable to humiliate her. Unexpectedly, Yuchi Chen calmly put his arm around her waist and gave her a dubious kiss on the cheek.

"My beloved concubine, the sky is cold tonight. Let's go back!"

Just like that, Yuchi Chen held onto Yun Ruo Lu as he turned to leave, leaving behind Yuchi Xuan who was hesitating on the spot.

Yun Ruo Lu did not dare to look back at him. She did not want to be entangled in this messy triangle-like relationship anymore.

On the way back, Yuchi Chen's hand never left Yun Ruo Lu's waist. He even said teasingly, "My beloved concubine, do you think this is considered to be caught red-handed?"

At this moment, Yun Ruo's heart was in turmoil. Hearing Yuchi Chen's infuriating voice, she became even angrier.

She did not notice that from when she first spoke to Yuchi Chen, her tone was no longer as cold as before, but more like that of the other girls.

It was just like how, at this moment, his unfathomable tone made others feel that he was even more terrifying than when he was cold. She would rather fight with them like they used to, than be as vague as she was now.

Yun Ruo Lu rolled her eyes at Yuchi Chen. She wanted to pull his hand away from her waist, but the more she struggled, the tighter her grip tightened.

Helpless, Yun Ruo Lu could only let him go, thinking that she was getting entangled by a mad dog.

"I came out so late to have a private meeting with the Third Marquis, can you really bear with how angry I am!"

Seeing that Yuchi Chen was acting as if nothing had happened, Yun Ruo Lu's heart thumped. If Yuchi Chen had gone on a rampage against her, she would have felt more at ease.

Yuchi Chen was originally very angry, but he had seen the events of the night clearly. After understanding Yun Ruo Lu's temperament, he also decided to change his strategy.

This was because he discovered that the more he suppressed her, the more she would resist. In the end, the one who was truly angered was himself.

Therefore, he would no longer be as indifferent as he was before. Instead, he would be as unfathomable as he was now. Seeing her nervous and worried appearance, he felt much better.

Most importantly, during the time she was gone, he had thought of a few things.

Sunset Snow had already become a part of the past. He had thought that he just wanted to take revenge on her, and had just married her into the Royal Mansion. When he saw the cowardly her, he felt disgust, and even wanted to vent all his resentment on her.

But then, he suddenly felt like she had become a different person. From seducing him to resisting him to messing with the King's Manor, these bold actions were deeply engraved in his heart. He even wanted to know what other earth-shattering things she could do.

He didn't know when it started, but his heart was slowly changing. He didn't hate her as much as he wanted to continue fighting and even wanted to live a good life together.

However, just as he was thinking this, she had already escaped the manor. He couldn't find her, and at that moment, an unprecedented feeling of fear and panic rose in his heart.

Seeing Yuchi Chen remain silent, Yun Ruo Lu guessed in her heart that the storm was still imminent. She wondered what kind of demon this fellow would turn into once she returned to the palace.

But she wasn't afraid. She was used to quarrels, confinement, the cold war, violence.

After returning to the palace, Yuchi Chen and Yun Ruo Lu returned to the Plum Garden together. Yuchi Chen did not say anything, nor did he get angry. Instead, he changed his clothes and jumped onto the bed.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing how abnormal Yuchi Chen was feeling, Yun Ruo Lu asked with a strange expression. She wondered if this fellow's brain had been struck by lightning while he was out, making him look abnormal.

Yuchi Chen closed her eyes, looking very tired. Then … Then he began to snore.

Yun Ruo sighed helplessly. It was already late autumn and the night was very cold. But if he didn't go out and just stared at him like that?

After struggling for a while, Yun Ruo Lu still squeezed into bed and slept on her side.

Not long after he had lain down on the bed, Yuchi Chen flipped over and pressed down on top of her, immobilizing her.

This time, Yun Ruo Lu was completely infuriated. She punched towards Yuchi Chen's face, but Yuchi Chen's eyes were still closed, blocking her hand. He even teased her, "Is this how a beloved concubine serves her king?"

Hearing Yuchi Chen's words, the anger within Yun Ruo Lu's heart surged like a volcano erupting.

She wasn't Liu Yanhan. She wouldn't be obedient because of his favors, and she wasn't Meng Fei'er either. She knew how to act coquettishly and make people happy.

As far as she was concerned, the reason why Yuchi Chen was so affectionate with her was because she wanted to find an opportunity to humiliate her and make her feel ashamed.

"What are you trying to do!?"

Yun Ruo Lu pushed aside Yuchi Chen with all her might, but the moment she pushed him away, she fell over. She touched Yuchi Chen's face and said narcissistically, "A beautiful man like me sleeping by your side, don't you have any impulsive desires?"

After saying this, Yun Ruo and her husband finally confirmed that Yuchi Chen's brain had definitely been struck by lightning when he left the room. Furthermore, she had always seen him flirting with other girls in the past. Today, she could finally imagine how he had fooled those women until their heads were spinning.

First, let's not talk about the ancient times, even now, those young girls couldn't stand this kind of enticement.

Yuchi Chen was indeed good-looking, a complete handsome man with a face that could shake the world. He had a strong, well-built figure, and with the status of a prince, he was truly a rich and handsome second generation official.

However, in her eyes, Yuchi Chen was a demon from hell, a nightmare for her.

Yun Ruo Lu was so infuriated by Yuchi Chen that she lost her head. Just as she was thinking about what to say, Yuchi Chen's kiss quickly fell on her. Perhaps she knew the reason for her resistance, but the moment Yuchi Chen kissed her, she was unable to move.

Feeling the point being poked, Yun Ruo glared murderously at Yuchi Chen, but Yuchi Chen seemed to ignore her. She smiled, pleased with herself, and with a wave of her hand, all the candlesticks in the room were extinguished.

Yun Ruo Lu was flabbergasted as she looked at Yuchi Chen's smile before the lights went out. This was the first time she had seen it so relaxed and natural. It was as if there was some sort of magic to it that made her forget about it.

"It's so dark. No matter how hard you stare, it's useless. Unfortunately, This King can't see."

Yuchi Chen bent down and whispered into Yun Ruo Lu's ear, causing her to come back to her senses. What had happened to her just now? He actually lost his mind for him?

Yun Ruo Lu felt that it was a bit inconceivable, but she couldn't say anything. She could only stomp her feet until tears were about to flow out of her eyes.

Without the violence from the past, these Yuchi Chen's gentle and gentle actions had occupied her, almost causing her to compromise.

After a moment of foreplay, Yuchi Chen could no longer hold it in. She whispered into Yun Ruo Lu's ear in a magnetic voice, "Yuchan, forgive me."

Yun Ruo Lu, who had sunk into Yuchi Chen's gentle embrace, was startled. She stared blankly at Yuchi Chen's face in the darkness. It was as if she could see a glint of sparkling light in his eyes.

Yuchi Chen opened her acupoints and gently kissed her forehead, eyebrows, eyes, nose and lips.

Yun Ruo Lu initially wanted to resist, but what Yuchi Chen had said just now left her at a loss for words.

This was the first time she did not reject him. It was not because she had eliminated all her previous hatred, but she wanted to give him a chance to make up for it.

She thought that after tonight, the grudge between them could be resolved temporarily. The result was exactly as she had imagined. It was only temporary.

The day of the competition came quickly, but slightly different from the previous one. It was the day of the competition. The day of the competition was separated from the day of the competition.

The first day was the Martial Competition. The original location was the Royal Martial Arts Practice Field. However, it was later changed to the Royal Hunt.

The Royal Hunt was outside of the palace. There was a gentle forest with many animals inside. This forest was specially used by the Emperor for hunting.

When Yun Ruo Lu heard about the change in the competition plans, she knew that there was definitely something wrong with it. It must be that Red Calyx had requested to be moved to another location.
