Yun Ruo Lu planned to stay behind and check on Yuchi Yan's situation. She couldn't interfere in the matters between the two men, so it would be a mistake if she went.

Yuchi Chen was surprised at Yun Ruo Lu's reply, but he did not say anything. He simply nodded his head and left.

After Yuchi Chen left, Yun Ruo came to Yuchi Yan's bedside to examine his wounds.

The sword in his chest was very deep. If he moved a little more to the right, he would probably have pierced his heart. It seemed as though these assassins weren't here to cause trouble or damage Yuchi Yan and Fuxue, but were actually here to kill them.

Only, she couldn't understand why Yuchi Xuan wanted to kill Yuchi Yan. Under her influence, there had never been any sort of conflict or hatred between the two.

Before coming to the Seventh Prince's estate, Yun Ruo had heard from Jinsi that Yuchi Yan was injured, so she had brought medicine for him.

She touched Yuchi Yan's forehead. Although there was a lot of cold sweat on his forehead, it was fortunate that he did not have a fever. His wounds were also well treated and would not be inflamed. As such, as long as he calmed down and rested for a few days, he could still treat his injuries.

Yun Ruo Lu fed the pill to Yuchi Yan and applied some anti-infective herbs on him. Although it was a simple procedure, it took her quite a bit of time.

The fragrant snow was probably not resting well, so it hadn't slept for even an hour before it came to visit Yuchi Yan. After Yun Ruo Lu told her that Yuchi Yan's life was no longer in danger, the sweet snow finally relaxed.

Before Yuchi Yanghong woke up, Yun Ruo Lu brought Qiuxue into the courtyard, and asked tentatively, "Xue-er, why do you suddenly care so much about Seventh Prince?"

Hearing Yun Ruo Lu's words, Kui Xue's face instantly turned red, and she answered with a stammer: "Yun …" Big Sister Yun, don't think too much. Seventh Prince, he … He was injured because of Xue'er, so … Therefore, Xue'er felt guilty, so she should naturally be worried. "

After she finished speaking, Yun Ruo Lu couldn't help but burst out laughing, and jokingly said: "Why did Xue'er learn to be shy when she had only been in the Central Plains for a few days? The current Xue'er is completely different from the bold and straightforward Xue'er that I knew back then. "

When Yun Ruo Lu's words came out, Qiang Xue's face became even redder. She bit her lips and said: "Big sister Yun, since you could already see through it. It would be hard for Xue'er to continue hiding it. "Actually …"

As she spoke till here, Kui Xue couldn't help but pause for a moment. She seemed to have some doubts, but also didn't know what to say.

Yun Ruo Lu knew that she was almost tricked, so how could she let Mo Qianxue choke back, so she encouraged, "Xue'er, if you trust me, just say it out. If you have any difficulties, maybe I can still help you."

Kui Xue nodded, then gathered up her courage and said, "We girls in Mongolia are all devoted to love, so since Xue Er gave her heart to the Fifth Prince, she shouldn't have anything to do with the Seventh Prince. When Xue'er first met Seventh Marquis, she just thought he was interesting. Compared to the dead Fifth Marquis, he was much more understanding. Therefore, Xue'er was very willing to be friends with Seventh Marquis. She thought that being friends was also a good thing, as they could play together when she was bored. However … The Seventh Prince, he … He expressed his feelings to Xue'er, and later … "She even risked her life to save Xue'er. Xue'er was deeply moved, but her heart was in chaos."

Listening to her speak, Yun Ruo Lu roughly sorted out her thoughts. So it turned out that Yuchi Yan had acted quite quickly. He had confessed so quickly.

However, the appearance of a hero saving a beauty really won the heart of a beauty. It was just that the temperature of the fire was not high enough. Someone had to add oil to the fire in order to accomplish this.

Although she hadn't completely confirmed her feelings, Yun Ruo Lu was not disappointed. At least he could see hope!

"Xue'er, then who do you like more?"

"I... I don't know. I'm afraid that if I choose the Seventh Prince, it would mean betrayal and disloyalty to the Fifth Prince. "Xue'er doesn't want to be the one to be scolded by the world."

Kui Xue had a conflicted expression, but even though she hadn't confirmed it, Yun Ruo Lu had already judged it. In Kui Xue's heart, more often than not, Yuchi Yan felt guilt towards Yuchi Chen.

"Xue'er, what exactly do you like about the Fifth Prince?"

Yun Ruo asked puzzledly. She really did not know how Kui Xue fell for Yuchi Chen. If it was her, she would definitely not like this piece of ice.

Kui Xue thought for a bit, then replied, "I don't know either, liking is liking, I can't tell you the reason."

Hearing Kui Xue's answer, Yun Ruo Lu's mind was immediately filled with black lines, and continued to ask: "Then what about Seventh Prince? What's your opinion of Seventh Prince in your heart? "

"The Seventh Marquis is better than the Fifth Marquis, and Xue'er likes him a lot!" Furthermore … Compared to the Fifth Prince, the Seventh Prince has a much greater sense of security for Xue'er! "

Suddenly, Yun Ruo Lu's eyes lit up, as if she had grasped onto a glimmer of hope. However, he deliberately hid the surprise on his face and pretended to be calm as he said to Qiang Xue, "Xue'er, Sister Yun is someone who has gone through a lot. This woman must find a man in her life who can give her a sense of security. If he can't give you anything, what will you do with your life? "

At this point, Yun Ruo You finally felt like she was on the main topic. After going around in a circle, she could finally say what she wanted to say.

"Then, Sister Yun, do you mean to ask Xue'er to abandon the Fifth Prince and choose the Seventh Prince?"

Yun Ruo Lu nodded her head, looking as if she was thinking for Xue'er, and continued, "Seventh Prince doesn't have a main wife yet, so it's not bad for you to marry him. However, the Fifth Prince has many wives and concubines. If you are this innocent, you won't be able to live in the Fifth Prince's estate. "

"Xue'er will think about it. Actually, Xue'er is not someone that the Fifth Prince won't marry. However, Xue'er doesn't want to stay in the Central Plains forever. She wants to go back to Mongolia. "

Yun Ruo Lu did not expect that, after coming here for just a few days, she actually wanted to go back. She was really childish.

"Then you should think about it for yourself!"

Yun Ruo Lu did not intend to say too much. If she said too much, she would be suspected. The most important thing between Yuchi Yan and Fuxue was still to see how Yuchi Yan dealt with it.

"Mn, Big Sister Yun, thank you. Xue'er will think it through."

A relieved smile was revealed on her face, as if she was relieved of a burden. The worry on her face from before had also completely disappeared.

When she left, she had to stay behind and watch over Yuchi Yan. She had to see Yuchi Yan wake up with her own eyes before she could relax.

In the evening, Yun Ruo Lu returned to the Fifth Prince's Mansion alone. When she returned to the estate, Yuchi Chen did not return.

This made Yun Ruo Lu feel strange. What were Yuchi Chen and Yuchi Xuan discussing? They actually talked for a whole day and didn't finish.

Thus, Yun Ruo Lu did not head back to the Plum Garden. Instead, she ran to Yuchi Chen's room to wait for his return.

This was because she wanted to know the truth of the matter. Was the assassin sent by Yuchi Xuang or not, and what was their motive?

After waiting for about an incense's time in Yuchi Chen's room, Yuchi Chen finally returned, exhausted from the journey.

Yun Ruo ordered her servants to bring the prepared food over. She planned to have dinner with Yuchi Chen.

As for Yun Ruo Lu's offer, Yuchi Chen did not reject it and happily accepted it.

Perhaps this was more like what a couple should do when they waste too much time arguing and suspecting.

During the meal, before Yun Ruo Lu could even ask, Yuchi Chen took the initiative to tell her about the events that had transpired today.

After listening to Yuchi Chen's explanation, Yun Ruo realized that this matter was rather fishy. Because, according to Yuchi Xuan, on his way back from the palace last night, he had met an assassin and suffered some superficial wounds.

What was even weirder was that the concealed weapon Yuchi Xuan had acquired from the assassin was actually a weapon from the Fifth Prince's estate.

Yuchi Xuan had originally planned to go to the Fifth Prince's estate to ask what was going on, but he didn't expect that Yuchi Chen would arrive before him.

"Your Highness, do you mean that someone is framing us from behind?"

After Yun Ruo Lu ate a bit, she put down the tableware. Having received such shocking news, she really had no appetite to continue eating.

"Maybe."

Yuchi Chen wasn't completely certain of his answer, because he couldn't completely believe Yuchi Xuan's words.

Back then, it was because he trusted her too much that a tragedy happened to Xi Xue.

"This King has already sent someone to investigate this matter, so you don't have to worry too much." Also, the Seventh Prince's Estate is not very safe. Tomorrow, go and fetch Xue'er. "

After Yuchi Chen finished speaking, he saw that Yun Ruo Lu still had a puzzled look on her face. Worried that she might misunderstand, he explained in detail, "Today, when I left the Seventh Prince's Mansion, I realized that someone was actually monitoring every move of the Seventh Prince's Mansion. Furthermore, Qiang Xue is, after all, the princess of Mongolia. If something were to happen to her, the Mongol King would definitely not let this matter rest. "

Upon hearing Yuchi Chen's words, some information flashed through Yun Ruo's mind, though it was somewhat chaotic.

Thus, he could only make a vague guess, "My prince, could it be that someone is planning to use the fragrant snow to stir up a dispute between the Yuchi Dynasty and Mongolia and obtain benefits from it?"

"This is not impossible, so you have to go and fetch Xue'er tomorrow. The Fifth Prince's Estate's guards are much stricter than the Seventh Prince's. It's not easy for assassins to sneak in. "

Yun Ruo Lu was very clear about the guards of the Fifth Prince's estate. At that time, she had escaped countless times, but she had had many interactions with the guards of the Fifth Prince's Estate and had spent a lot of effort to leave this manor.

"Un, I understand!"

After Yun Ruo Lu finished her meal, she did not stay with Yuchi Chen. Instead, she went back to the Plum Garden.

She still had many things she hadn't figured out, so she needed to go back and think carefully before she could figure out the sequence of events.

Because things weren't as simple as she had imagined, she had a faint feeling that there was a conspiracy behind it. From the time they went to Mongolia to look for immortal herbs, this conspiracy had already begun.
