When Yun Ruo Lu woke up again, she was already sleeping in her room.

As for how she came back, she had no idea.

Bewildered, Yun Ruo opened her eyes and rubbed the back of her head. She could still feel the pain. Before she could examine her surroundings, she heard Yuchi Chen's voice.

"You're awake?"

Yun Ruo saw that he was in his room, and asked in confusion, "How did I get back?"

She still vaguely remembered that she was in a brothel when someone suddenly knocked her unconscious at the most crucial moment.

"When I found you, you had already fainted at the door of the palace. Where did you go last night?"

Yuchi Chen asked with a frown on his face. He seemed unhappy, but he also seemed to know something, yet he still asked the question even though he knew the answer.

Yun Ruo Man did not hide anything, and replied honestly, "I tried to find a few people who might be related to assassins, but they knocked me out."

She also thought it was strange. Why was she sent back after being knocked out instead of being killed or imprisoned? Could it be that the person who knocked her out still recognized her?

"Seventh Brother is already awake. This King will investigate this matter, so you don't need to worry."

Only after hearing that Yuchi Yan had woken up did Yunruo let out a sigh of relief. No one knew the situation at that time better than Yuchi Yan, and so Yuchi Yan was able to provide some reliable information.

"Where's Xue'er? Have you come back yet? "

Yun Ruo thought of Yuchi Chen's request for her to return to the Prince's Mansion. Because she had some matters to attend to, she did not go to the Seventh Prince's Mansion, and she did not know that Yuchi Yan had awoken.

"This King has already sent someone to receive it. If she wants to stay at the Seventh Prince's Estate, then let her stay there temporarily." This king has also strengthened his defenses against Seventh Prince's guards, so there's no need to worry. "

Yun Ruo Lu nodded in agreement. Only the longer they spent together, the more reliable their relationship would be.

"Rest well in the prince's mansion today. The emperor just sent someone to summon you. This prince still has to go to the palace in a while."

Seeing that Yun Ruo was fine, Yuchi Wuya did not linger. He left in a hurry after giving the orders.

Indeed, she had been in a hurry, because she had discovered that Yuchi Chen was wearing the same clothes as yesterday. She knew that Yuchi Chen had a strange habit of wearing different clothes almost every day, apart from her court uniform.

He wore the same clothes for two days. The only explanation was that he was so busy that he forgot to change his clothes.

However, Yun Ruo Lu did not think too much into it. She only said that there had been too many things happening recently and she was confused.

After Yuchi Chen left, Yun Ruo Lu made another trip to the Seventh Marquis Estate.

By the time she arrived at the Seventh Prince's Mansion, Yuchi Yan had already woken up and the sweet snow was feeding him water. Only the two of them were in the room, making a really warm scene.

Yun Ruo You stood by the door and knocked on the door. After attracting Yuchi Yan's and Qiang Xue's attention, she walked in.

Seeing Yun Ruo You had come, she happily greeted her: "Big sister Yun is here. The Seventh Marquis is fine now, you guys can have a chat."

It could be seen that there was a happy expression on her snow-covered face, and there was even a big smile hanging on her face.

Yun Ruo walked to Yuchi Yan's bedside. Yuchi Yan's face was still pale, but he could speak. It seemed like he was no longer in danger.

"Fifth sister, thank you so much for your medicine."

Yuchi Yanghong gave Yun Ruo Lu a faint smile. His tone was weak, but his eyes were sincere.

Seeing that Yuchi Yanghong had just woken up, Yun Ruo Lu did not ask any further questions. Hence, she let Yuchi Yanghong have a good rest and brought her some sweet snow for a chat in the courtyard.

"Xue'er, the Prince sent someone to take you back. Why aren't you willing?"

"Big Sister Yun, Xue'er has thought about it. What Big Sister Yun said yesterday makes a lot of sense. "After getting injured so badly for Xue'er, how could Xue'er let you down?"

Hearing that she had understood, Yun Ruo Lu suddenly felt overjoyed, and she couldn't help but say excitedly: "Really? "Xue'er, you've finally thought it through!"

"Big Sister Yun, Xue'er will enter the palace tomorrow to request for an imperial decree for marriage!"

The fragrant snow spoke with absolute certainty, as if she had already made up her mind.

"Didn't you say you wanted to go back to Mongolia? Don't you miss your father? "

Yun Ruo Lu was worried that the sweet snow was just a temporary matter of impulse, so she reminded him to not cause trouble in the future.

"Hehe, Sister Yun, I'm afraid you can't guess. "Seventh Prince has already promised me that if we get married, we will return to Mongolia together. As princes, we will live together in Mongolia without any worries."

The fragrant snow had a smile like a flower, very blissful and sweet looking. If that was really the case, Yun Ruo Man was actually quite envious of them. They could leave everything behind and live a simple life.

"That's good too."

Yun Ruo Lu nodded her head in gratitude. She had finally understood all that was on her mind.

Since Kui Xue had decided to follow Yuchi Yan, Yun Ruo Lu made her stay at the Seventh Prince's Mansion to accompany Yuchi Yan and take good care of him.

Yun Ruo Lu returned to the Royal Mansion with a relieved heart. She felt much more at ease now that the huge burden in her heart had been lifted.

It was unknown when she had started to be interested in Yuchi Chen.

She decided to tell the good news to Yuchi Chen, so she waited excitedly at the entrance of the palace for Yuchi Chen to return.

For some reason, Yuchi Chen had been summoned by the emperor in such a hurry.

While Yun Ruo and her thoughts were wandering about, they saw Yuchi Chen's carriage return.

"Why didn't you go in? The wind is strong outside, don't get cold. "

Yuchi Chen alighted from the carriage and saw Yun Ruo standing by the door. He strode over, draped his cloak over Yun Ruo's shoulders and led her inside.

"How is it? What did the Emperor summon you to do? "

Yun Ruo asked, staring at Yuchi Chen as she walked. Yuchi Chen did not look too ugly to her, and Yun Ruo thought it was probably not a big deal.

"The emperor has set a date for the marriage of this king and Xue'er for this king to prepare."

Yuchi Chen spoke calmly, but it was like a bolt out of the blue to Yun Ruo Lu. She didn't even have the chance to say the good news, and things had already changed.

"When will it be?"

"There are still about twenty days until the fifteenth of the next month."

"What is Your Highness planning?"

Yun Ruo asked nervously. She didn't know why, but she was a little flustered at the moment.

"The emperor has already decreed that there's not much of a turning point in this matter!"

"But, Xue'er has already changed her mind and agreed to marry Seventh Brother. And the two of them are developing a good relationship, do we have to separate them? "

After listening to Yun Ruo's explanation, Yuchi Chen had a helpless look on her face as she sighed, "Now, we can only take one step at a time."

"Should I tell Xue'er this news?"

"Don't tell her for now, in case she's too impulsive, it'll be troublesome if she opposes the emperor."

Yun Ruo You thought about it for a while, and felt that he was right. If this matter got out of hand, not only would Yuchi Chen and Xue'er be in trouble, Yuchi Yan would be dragged into this as well.

"Does the emperor know about Seventh Brother's injury?"

Yuchi Chen nodded, indicating that the Emperor was aware of the matter. This caused Yun Ruo Lu to be puzzled. Since Yuchi Yi knew, she should have known that Yuchi Yan and Mo Juren were at odds with each other. Why would they announce their wedding date at such a crucial moment?

Could it be someone was advising him from behind? Thinking up to here, the first person Yun Ruo Lu thought of was Yuchi Xuan!

Yun Ruo Lu suddenly felt more and more confused. If things couldn't change, she didn't know what would happen.

Yuchi Chen brought Yun Ruo Lu to his study, as if there was something important to say.

"What's wrong? "Did something happen?"

Seeing that Yuchi Chen was frowning, Yun Ruo asked in confusion. She felt that the capital city had been quiet lately, but there was a storm hidden in the tranquility.

Yuchi Chen nodded and said, "There has been some disturbance at the borders recently. I'm afraid there will be a war soon!"

"What do you mean? "Why is it so sudden, and what's wrong with the border?"

"A small country wants to expand its territory and constantly harass the people at our borders. Therefore, the Emperor has already reorganized his troops and horses and is ready to take action. If they do not stop, we will send troops to suppress them!"

Yun Ruo did not expect that there would be another war so soon. Although the last war was resolved very quickly, the battlefield was not as simple as it was every time.

"What does Your Highness want?"

"This King wants to volunteer himself. This might be used to delay the date of marriage between This King and Xue'er."

Perhaps this was the only way for Yuchi Chen to explain his plan.

"Then I'll go with you!"

"This time, your lordship cannot bring you along. Your lordship has a premonition that the disturbance here will not be so simple, so you have to stay in the capital in case something big happens."

Yuchi Chen's words were vague and unclear. He had only guessed what had happened, and he absolutely did not want it to happen.

"But …"

Yun Ruo Lu was still hesitant. She had been worried about letting Yuchi Chen go alone. However, Yuchi Chen's worries were not without reason. Especially with the red calyx in the palace, she always felt uneasy.

"Don't worry, This King will be back soon. Nothing will happen."

Yuchi Chen consoled him gently, but he was the one who knew best. It was unknown whether he would be able to return from the border trial this time.

Helpless, Yun Ruo could only nod her head and agree. After all, she would not be of much help if she were to follow him. It would be better to stay in the capital, leaving Yuchi Chen with no worries.

"Good!" If I promise you, then you must also promise me that you must return safely! "

After the incident with Yuchi Yuanyan, she suddenly wanted to have a stable life as well. Why was it that every time she decided to start anew with Yuchi Chen, something unpleasant happened? Could it be that the heavens were destined for them to be together?

Yuchi Chen let out a soft sigh as he embraced Yun Ruo Lu, feeling her enchanting fragrance.
