Red Calyx shook her head and no longer spoke, as if there was something hard to say.

Yun Ruo Lu knew that she didn't want to say it, so she didn't press the matter and said, "Then you have to be careful, I'm going back."

She didn't want to stay in this palace for even a second longer. The Yuchi Kingdom was no longer as lively and peaceful as it used to be, and it was mostly filled with the complaints of the commoners.

Red Calyx did not stay for long, nor did she say any words of instruction. She allowed Yun Ruo Lu to leave just like that.

Although she could foresee many things, not all of them could be interfered with.

After returning to the manor, Yun Ruo went back to her room to rest after finishing her work.

Not long after he returned to his room, the window was blown open by a gust of wind, followed by a ball of paper wrapped in stone thrown in through the window.

Yun Ruo Man did not chase after the person outside the window. Instead, she picked up the piece of paper and opened it up. There were a few familiar words written on it: "Meet under the bridge in the middle of the night!"

It was written by Yuchi Xuanyuan. The seven simple words only stated the place and the time, and did not say what it was.

After reading the letter, Yun Ruo immediately destroyed it to prevent anyone from discovering it.

At the same time, she was hesitating as to whether or not she should go see Yuchi Xuan. This was because she had already promised Yuchi Chen that she would never have anything to do with Yuchi Xuan again in this life.

But what if Yuchi Xuan really had something very important to tell her?

After hesitating for a long time, Yun Ruo Lu decided to go see Yuchi Xuan. She would be back soon after she finished speaking, so she shouldn't have much of an impact.

It had taken them a long time to wait for the New Year. Coincidentally, Yuchi Chen had not returned to the palace today, so Yun Ruo Lu changed into her night attire and left.

The night's moonlight was very good. It calmly shone on the surface of the lake, reflecting a bright full moon.

By the time Yun Ruo Lu had arrived at the place she had agreed upon, Yuchi Xuan was already there, waiting for her.

After a few days of absence, Yuchi Xuan's demeanor was still the same as before. Only, his deep eyes had become somewhat sad, with a hint of a mental injury in them.

Seeing Yun Ruo Lu, Yuchi Xuan was slightly excited. He walked up to her and grabbed her hand, saying with guilt, "Thank you for your hard work!"

Yuchi Xuan was well aware that the reason he was able to leave the prison so quickly was due to Yun Ruo's help. Otherwise, how could Yuchi Chen let him off so easily?

Although she was happy to see that Yuchi Xuan was safe and sound, she had already promised Yuchi Chen that she wouldn't continue pestering him like this. It wasn't good for the three of them.

Thus, Yun Ruo Lu coldly took back her hand and said, "Your highness, if you have anything to say, please say it. I don't have much time."

Hearing Yun Ruo Lu's question, Yuchi Xuan felt that something was off. He replied, "Didn't you say you wanted to talk to me about something and wanted me to come here and wait for you?"

After speaking, Yuchi Xuan handed the piece of paper to Yun Ruo Lu to read.

Yun Ruo Lu felt that there was something fishy about this. She took the letter and saw that they had both fallen into someone else's trap.

"This is bad!" We've fallen into a trap. It's because I received such a letter that I came here to find you! "

After pondering for a moment, Yuchi Xuan immediately understood what was going on.

"This place is no longer safe, let's leave immediately!"

Yuchi Xuan wanted to bring Yun Ruo Lu away, but a torch suddenly appeared from all directions, surrounding them.

At this moment, Yuchi Chen walked out of the crowd with a gloomy expression, asking coldly, "Where else do you want to hide?"

Upon seeing Yuchi Chen, Yun Ruo Lu immediately understood that someone must have planned for her to meet Yuchi Xuan and then notify Yuchi Chen to catch the traitor. Now, they couldn't even wash away the situation by jumping into the Yellow River.

"Don't be afraid, I'll be fine."

Seeing that Yun Ruo Lu's expression had changed, Yuchi Xuan consoled her by whispering into her ear.

"Come here!"

Seeing the two of them whispering to each other, Yuchi Chen was even more unhappy and immediately gave the order.

Yun Ruo didn't want to implicate Yuchi Xuan, so she obediently walked over to Yuchi Chen's side. However, she did not explain herself because Yuchi Chen would not believe such a ridiculous claim.

If she hadn't wanted to see Yuchi Xuan, she wouldn't have fallen into this trap.

Seeing how Yun Ruo Lu listened to Yuchi Chen, Yuchi Xuan knew without even thinking that she must have made a deal with Yuchi Chen. That deal was directly related to him.

"Third brother, you're meeting little brother's wife in private so late at night, shouldn't you give an explanation?"

After Yunruo returned to her side, Yuchi Chen turned to look at Yuchi Xuan, his tone full of mockery and mockery.

Yuchi Xuan narrowed his eyes dangerously. He still resented Yuchi Chen's earlier actions. How could he not be angry after being set up again?

"Hmph! If fifth brother is so confident, why did he come here so late?"

To put it bluntly, Yuchi Chen had no trust in Yun Ruo Lu. However, Yuchi Chen was not angry. Instead, he said complacently, "It's a good thing that we've made use of this opportunity to speak our minds. In the future, we shall not interfere with each other, and we shall never meet again."

After saying those last four words, Yuchi Chen glanced at Yun Ruo Lu complacently. He then dismissed all the guards, gesturing for Yun Ruo Lu to speak up.

Seeing Yun Ruo Lu hesitating, a bad premonition arose in Yuchi Xuan's heart. He was even a little afraid that she would speak up.

Yun Ruo Lu naturally understood what Yuchi Chen meant. He wanted her and Yuchi Xuan to make the decision in front of them.

"What is it? "You don't dare to say?"

Seeing that Yun Ruo Lu was unwilling to speak, Yuchi Chen impatiently urged. He did not have the patience to wait any longer.

Yun Ruo Lu took a deep breath. She looked up at Yuchi Xuan and said resolutely, "Third Marquis, from now on, our relationship is cut off. We will never have anything to do with each other again!"

After she finished speaking, Yun Ruo Lu felt like she was suffocating, and her head began to spin.

As for Yuchi Xuan, he looked sorrowfully at Yun Ruo Lu's cold face. His heart felt as though it had been ruthlessly cut by a knife, and there were even some who were laughing as they watched him bleed.

Yuchi Xuan's lips quivered. After a long time, he replied, "Alright …" Take care of yourself! "

Although he knew that he was forced to do all of this, he still felt as if his heart had been cut by a knife. For her sake, he could endure for the time being. The only way to take back everything he wanted was to lie low and try to be brave.

After speaking, Yuchi Xuan gave Yun Ruo Lu a deep look, then turned around and left.

Yun Ruo Man stood on the spot. She felt that her body was very cold and could not help but shiver. However, her face was dry and she could not shed a single tear.

"What is it? Is my heart broken? "

Yuchi Chen looked at Yun Ruo Lu with a dark expression. There was not a trace of emotion in his voice, but even disappointment.

He had never been so indulgent and indulgent towards a person. She was the first! But now, he did not receive any rewards at all! That was why he had nearly lost all trust in her.

Yun Ruo Lu did not reply, and turned around to walk in the direction of the palace. She wanted to quietly walk back and think about what she should do in this world.

Yuchi Chen did not force Yun Ruo to follow him. Instead, he sent someone to follow him back to the palace.

Even after returning to the manor, her life remained the same. She was still a maidservant, but Yuchi Chen's attitude towards her had become even colder, to the point where he rarely spoke to her.

Just like this, several days passed in peace, and the tranquility of the day was somewhat unaccustomed to it.

It was only when a shocking piece of news arrived that the tranquil and boring life was broken.

Today, Yun Ruo worked as usual. When Yuchi Chen returned, he found two red invitation cards with the words' Joy 'scrawled on the cover.

When Yun Ruo Lu glanced at the invitation card, she had a slightly foreboding feeling in her heart.

Yuchi Chen passed the invitation to Yun Ruo Lu and said easily, "Take a look. A Prime Minister sent this invitation. One from the Third Marquis. You'll definitely be very happy."

Hearing Yuchi Chen's words, Yun Ruo Lu's hands began to tremble slightly as she accepted the invitation.

When she opened it, she didn't know if she should be happy or sad, because Yuchi Xuan was going to be married to her older sister, Yun Ruo Yao.

Although she had heard that Yuchi Xuan wanted to marry Yun Ruo Yao as his main imperial concubine a long time ago, when that day really came, her heart was unexpectedly empty.

Yun Ruo Lu took a deep breath. She no longer had any qualifications to ask for anything anymore. Yuchi Xuan was a very good man. She believed that he would definitely treat her sister well.

And her sister was a very kind person. They would definitely be very happy and happy together.

"Many thanks to Your Highness for telling this servant this joyous news. This servant wishes to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion to visit my sister, and would like your permission, Your Highness!"

Ever since she had returned that night, Yun Ruo did not run around freely. She was even more courteous with Yuchi Chen and even asked him for directions wherever he went.

Although Yuchi Chen had always wished for this to happen, when Yun Ruo Lu actually did so, he felt uncomfortable. He even felt that his life lacked the stimulation to be able to do so.

"You can go. It'll be good if you go back and take a look."

Yuchi Chen agreed to let her go back, but did not offer to go with her. In ancient times, a married woman would meet her own family and be talked about by others.

However, Yun Ruo Lu did not care about that. She did not wish for Yuchi Chen to accompany her.

On the second day, Yun Ruo brought Jin Se back to the Residence of Yun. It had been a long time since she had returned, but everything was still the same, without the slightest change.

Yun Ruo Lu did not go to see Yun Wei, but directly went to visit Yun Ruo Yao.

After recuperating in the manor for a period of time, Yun Ruo Yao's illness had already completely healed, and her complexion looked extremely good. Her face was rosy, and she had a happy expression.

Yun Ruo thought that when she saw Yun Ruo Yao, she would be frowning. But on the contrary, Yun Ruo Yao looked very happy, with a blissful smile on her face.

Before this, Yun Ruo Yao had told her that she didn't want to marry into the Third Marquis' Mansion, so she didn't know why she seemed to have changed her mind.

"Sister, congratulations!"

Yun Ruo You held Yun Ruo Yao's hand, the two of them walking in the garden and chatting, just like how they were when they were young. In Yun Ruo Lu's memory, Yun Ruo Yao and her childhood often played around in this garden, playing hide-and-seek.

Once, when Yun Ruo Yao accidentally fell down, Yun Wei ruthlessly beat her up. In the end, it was Yun Ruo Yao who pleaded for her.

Thus, from her body's memories and feelings, Yun Ruo Lu was very grateful and respectful towards her elder sister.
