After Yun Ruo Lu finished speaking, she threw the piece of paper with red flowers to Meng Fei'er.

When Meng Fei'er saw Yun Ruo Lu taking out the evidence, she was momentarily at a loss for what to do. She sobbed, "Big sister, I know my wrongs. Please forgive me this once!"

Forgive? What she wanted was her life. If she were to forgive him, wouldn't she have to live in fear everyday?

"Such a vicious woman is not worthy of being a mother!"

Yun Ruo let out a low growl. Although she looked calm and collected on the surface, she gave people a feeling of unknown severity.

"Sister, I was also confused for a moment. It was all taught to me by that bitch Liu Yanhan. She said nothing will happen if I eat it, so I believed her."

Meng Fei'er was extremely anxious and quickly told him about Liu Yanhan.

Upon hearing that the method was taught by Liu Yanhan, Yun Ruo Lu's eyes immediately became fierce.

She should have guessed long ago that this matter was related to Liu Yanhan. Otherwise, why would Meng Fei'er be so stupid as to harm her own child?

What a great 'one stone, two birds'! It was absolute!

At this moment, Yun Ruo Man couldn't help but admire Liu Yan Han's abilities. It seemed that she really underestimated her in the past.

Towards Meng Fei'er's honest words, Yun Ruo Lu's anger towards Meng Fei'er had lessened quite a bit. Since Meng Fei'er was also a victim, she didn't mind.

On the way back from Meng Fei'er's, Yun Ruo Man had been thinking about how to deal with Liu Yan Han. It was time to teach this bloodless blade a lesson.

Returning to the Plum Garden, Yun Ruo Lu recounted what had happened.

Jin Se was so angry that he stomped his feet. He said that they should tell Yuchi Chen about this matter and let everyone in the mansion know that their princess was such a malicious person.

However, Yun Ruo Man did not do so because she did not want Yuchi Chen to interfere with the grudge between her and Liu Yanhan.

"Empress, what should we do now?" "It seems like the wangfei has set her sights on us and is always finding ways to cause trouble."

Yun Ruo Lu thought about it seriously. Liu Yan Han was the main wife after all. She had more authority than her and had the support of the empress dowager. She really wasn't easy to deal with.

Just when the two of them were planning on dealing with Liu Yanhan, a familiar and cute voice sounded at the door, "Master, Xiangqing has come to see you!"

Seeing Xiang Qing, Jin Se's mood immediately became a hundred times better. Without caring about etiquette, she immediately ran forward and hugged her, excitedly saying, "Xiangqing, it's been so long since I've seen you. I thought you had forgotten about me and my master!"

Xiang Qing chuckled as she let Jinsi hug her. She wasn't afraid to call them by their first names. The two of them were like sisters that loved each other dearly.

Ever since Yun Ruo Lu had returned to the Fifth Marquis' Mansion from the Third Marquis' Mansion, the time that Xiang Qing had to pay him a visit became lesser.

Seeing Xiangqing, Yun Ruo Man asked rationally, "Xiangqing, do you have something to tell Master?"

Xiang Qing nodded and ran over to Yun Ruo Lu's side. She held Yun Ruo Lu's hand and said, "Master, father wants to raise the imperial concubine to the imperial concubine. Tonight, there's a banquet in the imperial palace. Why don't you go with him?"

As Yun Ruo heard this, she couldn't help but furrow her brows. Red Calyx was about to be promoted to imperial concubine? How come she didn't know about this at all? And the red calyx has no merit, will the courtiers agree?

"Xiangqing, tell Master what happened?"

Yun Ruo Lu felt that there must be something fishy about this. Besides, she was secretly opposing the imperial court while trying to please the emperor. What was he trying to do? Chaos class?

"Because esteemed imperial concubine is happy, royal father is very happy. That's why he wants imperial concubine to be the imperial concubine." Xiangqing truthfully said.

Joy? This had only been a month! This was way too fast! Furthermore, how could Red Calyx bear Yuchi's child? Was she not going back? If one day she suddenly received news of this, how sad would Yuchi be?

"Master, in fact, Xiangqing doesn't like Empress Calyx at all. One time, Xiangqing even saw her meeting with other men in private. This is really going too far!"

Once she said that, Yun Ruo Lu immediately covered Xiang Qing's mouth with her hand, and asked in shock: "When did you see that? "Xiangqing, promise Master that you won't tell anyone else about this!"

She did not want Xiangqing to say that it was not to help her, but to protect her.

The palace is too dangerous. The more you know about it, the more dangerous it is.

Xiangqing nodded sensibly and added, "Master, don't worry. Xiangqing has never told anyone about this."

Only after receiving Xiang Qing's guarantee did Yun Ruo Lu feel at ease, and promised her that she would attend the banquet at the Imperial Palace tonight.

She also hadn't seen the red calyx for a while, so she could ask her about the soul stealing.

That night, Yuchi Chen brought Liu Yanhan with him to the Imperial Palace for a banquet, while Meng Fei'er was left behind because she needed more rest. Furthermore, those kinds of feasts were not suitable for pregnant women.

As soon as they entered the banquet hall, Yuchi Chen held her hand tightly. From the outside, it looked like they were very fond of each other.

Yun Ruo tried to struggle free, but to no avail, she could only give up. However, ever since she had entered the main hall, she had been searching for Yuchi Xuan and hadn't been able to find him.

"Who are you looking for? "Why aren't you focusing?"

Yuchi Chen glanced at Yun Ruo Lu, but she didn't notice. In the end, he had to remind her in her ear, "You'd better not get into any trouble tonight, or I won't be able to take care of you."

Yun Ruo Lu glared viciously at Yuchi Chen. She thought to herself, what is this fellow up to? His gaze is so evil that he looks like a hooligan.

As soon as Liu Yanhan entered the palace, the empress dowager summoned her to see him. Yun Ruo Lu thought that the empress dowager must have known that Meng Fei'er was pregnant, so she summoned Liu Yanhan to lecture her. If Meng Fei'er gave birth to a son for Yuchi Chen in the future, and Liu Yanhan was unable to conceive of her after entering the Manor for so many years, her position as the main wife would be in danger.

This was also the reason why Liu Yanhan was in such a hurry to attack them.

In fact, Yuchi Chen had a general idea of Liu Yanhan's actions over the years in the Prince's Mansion. However, due to his relationship with the empress dowager, he could only turn a blind eye.

Yun Ruo sat down next to Yuchi Chen. When she raised her head, she saw that Yuchi Xuan was actually sitting opposite them. Such an awkward position made her want to hide behind Yuchi Chen.

However, Yuchi Chen seemed to enjoy it, feeding her food from time to time. With so many ministers, princes, and concubines already present, Yun Ruo could only grit her teeth and give Yuchi Chen face.

However, the expression on Yuchi Xuan's face did not look good. He looked at Yuchi Chen with a murderous gaze.

Yuchi Yi was going to ascend to the red calyx as Imperial Consort. This bustling scene was comparable to his birthday celebration, and the singing and dancing were unceasing, bustling with noise and excitement.

The entire night, Yun Ruo Lu was not in the mood to watch those songs and dances.

The last one was a dance given to Yuchi Yi by Redcalyx herself, as a token of her gratitude to the Emperor.

That astonishing dance, that charming face, it was not at all inferior to the dance when the red calyx first entered the palace.

Although Redcalyx had risen to the rank of imperial concubine, many ministers within the imperial court refused to accept this outcome. However, there was nothing they could do about it. Who could the Emperor possibly like?

After the performance, everyone just ate and drank. The atmosphere suddenly became harmonious and relaxed.

As for Yuchi Xuan, he couldn't sit still either. He stood up and walked over to the emperor's side to toast. Then, one by one, he took turns until he was standing in front of her.

Yun Ruo knew that Yuchi Xuan was trying to say something to her by putting up a desperate front. Before her, Yun Ruo Lu had been counting in her heart. Yuchi Xuan had already drank more than twenty cups.

If it were anyone else, they would have been unable to hold on for a long time.

As Yuchi Xuan toasted, Yun Ruo Lu purposefully stood up and used her body to block Yuchi Chen's line of sight. She said to Yuchi Xuan in a low voice, "Are you alright? You want to die from drinking."

Yuchi Xuan laughed nonchalantly, then said in a low voice, "For your sake. I'm willing."

Hearing this, Yun Ruo's face turned red, and her heart started beating faster. It was as if she was having a secret affair with someone in front of her husband. This kind of excitement made her extremely excited.

In less than half a minute, Yuchi Chen sensed something was amiss. He stood up and placed a hand on Yun Ruo Lu's waist. He pulled her into his embrace and said to Yuchi Xuan, "Third brother, let me toast you!"

Yuchi Xuan pretended not to care and drank another cup of wine. Then he pretended to be drunk and staggered a few steps, gently pressing his hand against his head.

At this moment, the nearby Yuchi Yan saw that Yuchi Xuan didn't seem as strong as he used to be. He immediately stood up and asked, "Third brother, are you alright? Come sit here and rest for a moment."

Thus, Yuchi Xuan unceremoniously sat down in Yuchi Yan's seat.

Yuchi Chen kept glaring viciously at Yuchi Yann, but Yuchi Yann didn't notice at all. It wasn't until Yuchi Xuan sat down that he felt that something was off.

According to the seating arrangement, Yun Ruo Lu sat between Yuchi Chen and Yuchi Xuan.

The seated Yuchi Xuan didn't feel the slightest bit of drunkenness. Yun Ruo couldn't help but want to laugh, and she couldn't help but sigh at how cocky this Yuchi Xuan was acting.

In this manner, Yuchi Xuan constantly searched for various ways to drink with Yun Ruo Lu. As for Yuchi Chen, he continued to drink with a darkened face.

After the banquet, everyone was drunk.

Yun Ruo Lu had thought that Yuchi Chen would definitely be unhappy with the two staying in the Imperial Palace for the night. She hadn't expected him to agree so abnormally, and he didn't seem to be unwilling at all.

Most importantly, Yuchi Xuan and Yuchi Chen were only separated by a small courtyard wall. If they were to speak loudly in the room, they would be able to clearly hear each other.

Arriving at his residence, Yun Ruo finally understood why Yuchi Chen had agreed to stay in the palace. Both of their palaces had been specially prepared for them by Yuchi Yi. As long as they lived in the imperial palace, they would always be in this place.

Yun Ruo Lu didn't know what was going on with Yuchi Yi. Was he trying to befriend Yuchi Chen and Yuchi Xuan? Aren't you afraid that they will start a fight?
