The room was very large and had a nice style. It was her type of room. Furthermore, the table was already filled with delicacies, all of which were dishes that she liked to eat.

"Is there something that the Third Marquis wants to talk to me about?"

Yun Ruo sat down across from Yuchi Xuan and thought to herself, "With such a grand act, it can't be that he has something to ask her for help, right?"

Yuchi Xuan smiled and raised his glass to Yun Ruo's face. He first drank a cup, then said, "When have we become so courteous?"

Yun Ruo laughed dryly. Forget about the dragon incident between her and Yuchi Xuan, they had experienced life and death before. Although they rarely had the chance to meet after she returned to the Fifth Prince's estate, every time they met, there would always be that kind of awkward feeling.

"I believe that the Third Marquis already knows about the Fifth Prince's injury, so he should hurry up and say what he wants. I still need to hurry back."

This time, she had sneaked out, so she couldn't stay outside for too long. If someone she knew bumped into her, who knew what kind of rumors and gossip she would have.

Seeing that Yun Ruo Man was not reserved at all, Yuchi Xuan looked at the dishes on the table and changed the topic: "These are all your favorite dishes. Try it."

"My lord, how do you know I like to eat these?"

Yun Ruo looked at Yuchi Xuan with a sharp gaze. Although they had known each other for quite some time, there was no way she would know what type of person Yuchi Xuan was.

Yuchi Xuan revealed a pretty smile and no longer hid it. He looked seriously into Yun Ruo Lu's eyes and said, "Actually …" When I first met you, I knew you were a woman. "

With these words, Yun Ruo and her group felt incredibly awkward. Wouldn't that mean …

Remembering the ambiguous scene in the pond, thinking about how she had accidentally slept in the same bed as him, and thinking about how she had purposely destroyed his discussion with Zixin. Everything about her caused her to feel ashamed.

Seeing Yun Ruo Lu's unnatural expression, Yuchi Xuan walked in front of her and placed his hands on her shoulders. His eyes were filled with concentration.

"I know you like me, right?"

Yuchi Xuan cupped Yun Ruo Lu's face with his hands. His gaze was extremely mesmerizing.

Yun Ruo's mind went blank as she stared at him in a daze. She didn't deny that she had once liked him, and had even liked him a lot.

However, she couldn't express her love due to her identity.

For him, she had proposed to the Emperor that she should part with Yuchi Chen. For him, she had risked her life to go up the mountain and save him.

But what about him? She had never seen his heart, and it had always been her wishful thinking.

"Will you leave him for me if I say I love you?"

Yuchi Xuan continued to tempt her. Her face, upon seeing it, was so close to hers.

"I …"

As soon as Yun Ruo You said that word, Yuchi Xuan kissed her, stopping her words from coming out between their lips.

Yuchi Xuan's kiss was completely different from Yuchi Chen's kiss. She felt that Yuchi Xuan's kiss was very sweet, the kind of kiss that would allow her to be caught off guard.

Because of this, Yun Ruo Lu did not reject Yuchi Xuan and accepted it bravely.

While the two of them were still in deep love, the door was suddenly kicked open by a powerful force.

Yun Ruo turned her head in panic only to see a pale-faced Yuchi Chen standing at the door, holding the letter she had received earlier that day.

Seeing Yuchi Chen, Yuchi Xuan's eyes flashed with an unfathomable light. He held Yun Ruo Lu in his arms and said coldly to Yuchi Chen, "Since you're injured, why don't you lie down at home and rest?"

Yuchi Chen's face was as pale as a piece of paper, but his eyes were red as if they were about to split open, and the veins on his forehead were bulging.

"Let her go!"

Yuchi Chen's voice didn't carry any warmth, it was so cold that it seemed to come from hell. Not a single word was spoken with such gravity that it sounded as if he wanted to tear something apart.

Yun Ruo Lu struggled for a moment, but was held tighter by Yuchi Xuan.

"What are you doing!"

Yun Ruo Lu complained to Yuchi Xuan in a low voice. Yuchi Chen was currently injured and could not use force. If the two of them were to fight, Yuchi Chen would definitely be at a great disadvantage.

Yun Ruo Lu had not expected that at this time, she would first think of Yuchi Chen's safety. Perhaps it was because she felt guilty towards him.

"You don't love him, why are you with him?"

Seeing how the two were still entangled with each other, Yuchi Chen stepped forward and began to fight with Yuchi Xuan.

The room was instantly thrown into disarray by the two, and Yuchi Chen was no match for Yuchi Xuan. Very quickly, he was beaten to the point of vomiting blood, his wounds lacerating and bleeding profusely.

Seeing this, Yun Ruo was greatly shocked. She did not expect Yuchi Xuan to be so ruthless. Yuchi Chen was still injured.

"Stop fighting!"

Yun Ruo rushed forward and stood in between the two of them, allowing them to calm down.

"Come back with me!"

Yuchi Chen held onto Yun Ruo Lu's hand tightly, anger filling his wounded eyes.

"Don't go, he's just using you as a substitute!"

Yuchi Xuan held onto Yun Ruo Lu's other hand and glared at Yuchi Chen. Then, his voice turned gentle as he said, "Tell him that the person you love is me!"

Yun Ruo Lu was at a loss for what to do. She did not know why Yuchi Xuan would suddenly tell her these things and why he had chosen to do it today.

"You are my person, what right do you have to love others?"

He knew in his heart that she did not love him, but he was afraid to hear her say it herself.

Yun Ruo Lu originally stood by Yuchi Chen's side, but after hearing his words, her heart felt like it was being pierced by needles.

Why wasn't she qualified to choose her own happiness? What right did she have to be a substitute for someone else? She couldn't accept it!

Yun Ruo shook off Yuchi Chen's hand. Yuchi Chen looked at her in disbelief, her eyes filled with pain.

"I'm not Xi Xue's double, you've never loved me, you just want revenge!"

After a moment of silence, Yuchi Chen suddenly broke into a cold laugh, as if he had just heard something hilarious.

"I have treated you as a substitute for Xue'er. Do you know what his purpose for approaching you is? Do you want to know how Xue'er died? "

Yun Ruo Lu turned to stare at Yuchi Xuan, puzzled. She hoped that he would confess to her at this moment, but he chose to remain silent.

"Xue'er jumped off the cliff because of him!"

Yuchi Chen unleashed all his hatred, not even sparing to tell the truth of what had happened all those years ago.

Yun Ruo Lu's mind was blank. She stared blankly at Yuchi Xuan and asked in a trembling voice, "So you already knew I was a woman? Is it because I looked the same as Xi Xue?"

Yun Ruo Lu suddenly felt that she was so ridiculous and pathetic. If she didn't look like Xi Xue, perhaps Yuchi Xuan wouldn't even look at her!

She really did not think that things would turn out like this. However, she had guessed long ago that the hatred between Yuchi Chen and Yuchi Xuan had something to do with Xi Xue.

Yuchi Xuan wanted to explain, but just as he was about to speak, Yun Ruo Lu stopped him with her hand, indicating that he didn't need to say anything.

Yuchi Xuan stared angrily at Yuchi Chen. His hand clenched into a fist, and the two quickly began to fight again.

This time, Yun Ruo Lu did not try to stop them. She did not want to see the two of them, even if they were to kill each other, it would have nothing to do with her!

Yun Ruo Lu opened the door and rushed out as fast as she could, and finally disappeared into the crowded streets.

She only wanted to be alone and calm as an indescribable pain assaulted her entire body.

Just when she thought that the heavens had finally opened their eyes, they pushed her straight into hell. From start to finish, she had merely been a chess piece for someone else.

Yun Ruo Lu left the Fragrant Sky Tower alone, but didn't return to the palace. Instead, she found a secluded place by herself. He sat under a willow tree by the river, staring blankly at the calm surface of the river.

"Oh? Why is this girl here alone? She must be lonely. Let me accompany you properly."

Just when Yun Ruo Lu was feeling the most depressed, an extremely ugly man came to tease her. Since she couldn't find anyone to vent her anger on, she smiled sweetly at the middle-aged man and hooked her fingers, gesturing for him to come over.

Seeing the invitation of the beauties, the middle-aged man was so excited that he drooled. He ran to Yun Ruo Lu excitedly, opened his arms wide and wanted to hug her.

With a turn of her body, Yun Ruo Lu dodged to the side, but the middle-aged man did not jump into the air and laughed: "You little beauty is still being naughty with me, right? Watch how I'll catch you later and deal with you."

With that, the middle-aged man charged forward again. This time, Yun Ruo Lu did not dodge, but instead kicked the man and sent him flying a meter away. He fell to the ground and cried out, unable to get up.

Yun Ruo Lu still couldn't calm herself down, so she went up and kicked him a few times, then threw him into the river.

After venting out the anger in her heart, Yun Ruo Lu felt much better. She clapped her hands and was about to go back, when she suddenly heard a mocking voice from a willow tree: "They all say it's the most vicious woman's heart. Today, I've finally seen it for myself!"

Yun Ruo raised her head and saw the man wearing the wolf fang mask standing on top of a tree branch. She did not know how long he had observed her.

"It's you again? What? Do you want to fight? "

Yun Ruo Lu was in an extremely bad mood tonight, so she wanted to fight whenever she saw someone. This person was not dead yet, but appearing now was a complete challenge to her endurance limit.

"I don't have the time to play with you, but I do want to remind you to stay away from Yuchi Xuanluo. He's more scheming than Yuchi Chen, and you're not his match."

Hearing this, Yun Ruo Lu found it extremely funny and asked, "What does it have to do with you that he and I are walking so close to each other? Do I need your reminder? "

In her entire life, she hated people who would use this tone to speak to her. This was because only a true expert was qualified to warn others.

In her eyes, he was obviously not.

"A friendly piece of advice. Whether you believe it or not is up to you."

With that, the masked man disappeared into the night, his voice echoing in the air.
