After finishing all of his work, Yun Ruo sighed deeply. Being a maid was indeed not an easy thing to do.

Very quickly, Yuchi Chen returned, followed by a person.

Yun Ruo You stood at the door, glancing up and realized it was Yuchi Yan.

However, when Yuchi Yan passed by her, he didn't notice her.

After Yuchi Chen and Yuchi Yan sat down in the main hall, Yun Ruo Lu ran over to bring tea. She placed a cup in front of Yuchi Chen, then paced back and forth in front of Yuchi Yan.

"Please have some tea, Seventh Prince!"

When Yuchi Yan saw Yun Ruo Lu, he felt that she looked familiar. However, when he heard her voice, he immediately recognized her.

Seeing Yun Ruo's maid attire, Yuchi Yan's hands trembled as he held the teacup. The corner of his mouth began to twitch, and he wondered what the two were up to this time. You're still acting?

Seeing that Yun Ruo Lu was doing things obediently, Yuchi Chen was very satisfied. He said to Yun Ruo Lu, "You may leave. I have something to discuss with Seventh Prince."

Although Yun Ruo Lu wanted to hear what they had to say, she did not dare disobey Yuchi Chen's orders. She could only take the tea tray and leave.

As soon as Yun Ruo left, Yuchi Yan couldn't hold himself back anymore and laughed out loud. "Haha, fifth brother, I really admire you!"

Yuchi Chen ignored Yuchi Yan's teasing. "Stop fooling around!" It's more important to talk business! "

Seeing how serious Yuchi Chen was, Yuchi Yan had no choice but to stop smiling and said, "Fifth Brother, the Southern Witch Kingdom has been very restless lately. They have been operating frequently at our borders. It seems that they will take action soon. Furthermore, the emperor is also very worried about this matter. "

Although YunRuo Lu left through the main door, how could she be so obedient? She quickly retreated to the side of the window to eavesdrop, and then she heard Yuchi Yan's words.

She knew very little about the Southern Witch Kingdom. It seemed that it was only a small and insignificant country. However, the country's geographical location was extremely important. The Yuchi Kingdom had always wanted to annex it.

And in order to protect themselves, the Southern Witch Kingdom had trained elite warriors. Thus, although it was only a small country, its strength could not be underestimated.

Yuchi Chen took a sip of his tea, but did not say anything. It was as if he was deep in thought.

"Fifth brother, now that you have two-thirds of the military power in your hands, if we can deal with this trouble in the Southern Witch Kingdom, we will definitely have a whole new level of respect for you."

Hearing this, Yun Ruo's eyes widened in shock. Yuchi Xuan had three hundred thousand soldiers, and if Yuchi Chen took two-thirds of it, wouldn't that mean that Yuchi Chen already had nearly four hundred thousand soldiers?

Most likely, no one in the wilderness would dare to underestimate him. More importantly, in the future, Yuchi Xuan would most likely reach the lowest point in his life.

Seeing that Yuchi Chen was still not saying anything, Yuchi Yan panicked and asked, "Fifth brother, what are you worried about?" What are you hesitating for? This is a great opportunity! "

Yun Ruo could tell that the Emperor was planning to send troops to go to the Southern Witch Kingdom, but he had not decided on a candidate yet.

Yuchi Chen thought for a long time before replying, "This matter may seem simple, but it is not that easy to accomplish." Furthermore, I am not in the capital.

That was what he was thinking.

Now that the Emperor had Redcalyx by his side, he knew very well that she was Yuchi Xuan's subordinate, and that the Resurrection Church had a bit to do with Yuchi Xuan as well. As long as he left, most of the capital would belong to Yuchi Xuan.

Yun Ruo Lu was unsure of what Yuchi Chen meant. She had no idea what the real situation was.

Yuchi Yan knew Yuchi Chen's considerations weren't unreasonable, but everyone knew that he couldn't have both the fish and the bear's paw.

"Let's put this matter aside for now. I know what to do."

At this point, Yuchi Chen did not intend to continue. After discussing a few more things, Yuchi Yan left.

Yun Ruo listened attentively from outside the window, not noticing that Yuchi Chen had already walked to the side of the window.

"Come in. How long are you planning to eavesdrop?"

Yuchi Chen opened the window and looked at Yun Ruo Lu expressionlessly. This was the first time he had seen her dressed like a maid. He felt that she was much more adorable than usual.

Yun Ruo Lu jumped straight into the window and saw Yuchi Chen sitting there as if nothing had happened. She walked up to him and questioned him, "Didn't you promise to save the Third Marquis? How did you take his military power? "

"This King promised to release him from prison, but what does that have to do with military authority?" Also, whether or not he can leave the prison smoothly will depend on your performance in the next few days. "

After speaking, Yuchi Chen glared at the teacup, showing that he was dissatisfied with her attitude at the moment.

Yun Ruo was so angry that she rolled her eyes, but she could only grit her teeth and remain silent.

"What are you still standing here for? What time is it? I wonder if This King will have lunch at this time of day! "

Yuchi Chen reprimanded Yun Ruo Lu harshly. She gritted her teeth and replied, "Your Highness, please wait!" This servant will go and prepare it for you! "

Looking at Yun Ruo's furious back view, Yuchi Chen felt much more at ease.

He knew that Yun Ruo Lu's temper was too arrogant, so he had no choice but to use this method to sharpen her spirit. Otherwise, he would not be able to do anything to her in the future.

Yun Ruo walked leisurely into the kitchen. The chefs had already prepared lunch and arranged it neatly on the table.

She took a quick look around and realized that Yuchi Chen usually ate well, with one person asking for five dishes and one soup.

And Liu Yanhan and Meng Fei'er's food was not bad as well, especially since Meng Fei'er was pregnant.

In comparison, Mei Yuan's food was the worst. In the past, she had only eaten a small plate of Red Braised Meat, usually green radish or the like.

It was her first time in the kitchen, so she hadn't known it before. Now that he thought about it, his heart was even more angry.

Yun Ruo Lu placed Yuchi Chen's food in the box and then quietly took a small jar of salt.

On the way back, Yun Ruo Lu placed a full ten scoops of salt into each dish. Only then was she able to calm her earlier anger.

Back in the main hall, Yun Ruo Lu was in high spirits as she placed all the dishes on the table and waited for Yuchi Chen to arrive.

Seeing how obedient Yun Ruo Lu had become, Yuchi Chen was overjoyed. He picked up the bowl, and Yun Ruo Lu served him the dishes.

"Your Highness, please have a meal!"

Yun Ruo took a piece of meat and placed it in Yuchi Chen's bowl. She couldn't wait to see him eat it.

Seeing that Yuchi Chen had already put the piece of meat in his mouth, Yuchi Chen suddenly turned to look at Yun Ruo's scheming eyes. The look in them caused him to break out in a cold sweat.

"Is this how you serve This King? Without even trying the poison, how can This King eat it?! "

Yuchi Chen put down his bowl and chopsticks angrily. Seeing that he wasn't eating, Yun Xiao immediately took out a silver needle from the box and tested every dish.

Seeing that there were no problems, Yuchi Chen suddenly felt suspicious. Was he overthinking things?

Then, he thought of a perfect solution. When Zeng Yunruo wasn't paying attention, he would pull her over and sit on his leg. Afterwards, he would lock her in his embrace, not allowing her any chance to break free.

"What are you doing!?" Don't forget, I'm just a maid now! "

Yun Ruo Lu did not know what plans Yuchi had in mind, but in the end, all she could do was struggle free from Yuchi Chen's embrace.

Yuchi Chen looked at Yun Ruo Lu with a smile, then picked up the dishes from the bowl and fed them to her. He said in an ambiguous tone: "Come! This King will feed you! "

Without hesitation, Yun Ruo Lu turned her head away and coldly said: "I'm not hungry!"

Yuchi Chen turned his head and maintained his ambiguous tone. "It doesn't matter whether you're hungry or not. I just want you to personally test the poison on this king!"

Hearing Yuchi Chen's words, Yun Ruo's lungs nearly burst from anger. She finally understood how cunning and despicable this fellow was!

If she didn't eat it, he would definitely be aware that there was something wrong with it, and her plot would be wiped out in the cradle.

But if she ate it, she could not imagine how chilling the bitter taste was. She usually ate lightly, so she couldn't stand the taste of food that was too salty.

Yuchi Chen looked at Yun Ruo Lu with a smile, waiting for her to finish her meal.

"What is it? Dare to eat? Or is there something wrong with the dish? "

Seeing that Yun Ruo Lu was unwilling to speak up, Yuchi Chen continued with her provocation. Looking at Yun Ruo's expression, he knew there must be something wrong!

Helpless, Yun Ruo Lu could only slowly open her mouth and eat the dish. She swallowed it for a long time.

In the end, he didn't forget to comment, "Delicious!"

That innocent and sincere evaluation made it seem like nothing had happened, proving that there was no problem with the dish.

Only Yun Ruo knew that she was on the verge of tears.

Was this the proof of that sentence? He really deserved to die!

Yuchi Chen carefully observed Yun Ruo Lu's expression as she finished her meal. It seemed nothing had happened to her. He thought to himself, "Was I overthinking things?"

Just as he was about to continue eating, Meng Fei'er's angry voice sounded from the entrance, "Your highness!"

Meng Fei'er had already been there for some time. She had been watching from the doorway, but from her angle, she couldn't see Yun Ruo's face, causing her to look over at the person in her arms. Yuchi Chen's gaze was gentle as he smiled at her, and the two of them looked at each other affectionately for a long time before she personally fed the person in her arms.

How could this not make her angry? Furthermore, that woman was only a lowly maid! She really wanted to see which maid was so audacious as to actually dare to seduce the Prince in broad daylight.
