Although Meng Fei'er was sent off, Yun Ruo's words still echoed in her mind.

It had been twenty years since the last snow of the Yuchi Dynasty. As soon as Yuchi Chen left, it began to snow. And it was so big, could it really be a bad omen?

It had only been three days, and the troops hadn't started fighting yet, so there shouldn't be any bad news.

Just as Yun Ruo Lu was comforting herself, the sweet snow came running back with a flustered expression.

Yun Ruo Lu went up to help Qiang Xue shake her snow cloak, and after she had caught her breath, she asked: "Xue'er, what's wrong? "It's snowing so heavily outside, why did you come back?"

Kui Xue ran to the table and drank a mouthful of hot tea, then said anxiously: "Sister Yun! Something terrible has happened! "

"What is it that makes you so flustered? "Don't be anxious, speak slowly."

Hearing what Kui Xue said, Yun Ruo Lu's heart almost jumped out of her chest. Although she had a bad premonition in her heart, she still maintained her calm as she asked.

"The Fifth Prince was stopped by the blizzard on his way to the army. I heard that there was an avalanche last night when he was camping at the foot of the mountain. A lot of people were buried inside!"

Listening to her finish her sentence, Yun Ruo Lu felt as though her brain was going to explode. Her voice even began to tremble as she asked: "That king … Where is the prince? How is the Prince? "

"Sister Yun, don't worry, Your Highness is fine. "However, before this battle has even begun, quite a few of our people have been killed by this avalanche. Sigh …"

After Yun Ruo Lu found out that Yuchi Chen was fine, she became much more stable. Thinking about it more carefully, he felt that something was amiss.

It had only been snowing for three days, how could there be an avalanche? Was it a trap set by someone, or an ambush by the enemy?

No matter how she thought about it, she wasn't at the scene, so she didn't know what was going on.

At this moment, Yun Ruo Lu wanted to run over to Yuchi Chen and accompany him.

She did not want her child to be fatherless at birth, and that was unfair to the child.

Seeing that Yun Ruo Lu's face was slightly ugly, Kui Xue hurriedly comforted: "Sister Yun, the prince has his own way, he will definitely come back victoriously. Elder sister is pregnant right now, so you definitely can't use your Fetal Qi again. "

Hearing that, Yun Ruo Ran suddenly thought of something and instructed: "Xue'er, about me being pregnant, don't spread the news for now. This matter will be decided after the king returns! "

Although Kui Xue didn't quite understand, nor did she understand why she couldn't say such a happy thing, she still heavily nodded her head in agreement.

At this moment, Jinsi's excited voice came from outside the door, "Empress, who are you looking for?"

When Yun Ruo Lu heard that, she looked towards the door and saw a little red figure standing there. It was that little ghost, Xiang Qing!

Seeing Xiang Qing, Yun Ruo Lu immediately revealed a big smile and called out: "Xiang Qing!"

Xiang Qing was also very excited. She immediately ran over to Yun Ruo Lu's embrace and said with longing: "Master! "Xiang Qing misses you!"

This was the first time Kui Xue saw Xiangqing, so she didn't know her identity. Thus, she teased, "When did elder sister have such a cute little disciple? "Little kid, quickly call me Senior Master!"

Xiang Qing raised her head and looked at the fragrant snow, and said, "This older sister is a princess from Mongolia, right? This is the princess of Sky Dynasty! "

Hearing Xiang Qing call herself "I," Yun Ruo Lu couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Xiangqing, why are you here?"

Yun Ruo Lu pulled Yin Xue and Xiang Qing together to a chair and chatted. Coincidentally, she was bored and had nothing better to do, so having two people to talk to was also a good thing.

"Fifth Uncle went to war. Xiangqing was worried that her master would be bored. I just would like to ask royal father to allow Xiangqing to stay at the Duke Palaces for a few days, so that she can accompany Master for a few more days. "

The sweet and clear voice of a child was very pleasant to listen to. Coupled with her manly speed of speech, she gave people the feeling of a young adult.

As the sweet snow ate the melon seeds, she praised, "He really is a sensible little disciple. In the future, I want to take him in as my disciple!"

When Xiang Qing heard Qiang Xue's words, she felt very embarrassed, so she made a face at her.

Yun Ruo Lu did not object to Xiang Qing coming to stay at the Prince's Mansion for the time being; on the contrary, she was happy about it. She hadn't seen Xiangqing for a long time, so she really missed her.

"Xue'er, how is seventh brother's injury?"

"Seventh Elder is already fine, it's just that he doesn't know how to fight. I estimate that he'll recover in a month!"

Speaking of Yuchi Yanghong, Fuxue revealed a happy expression. That sweet expression caught the eyes of Yun Ruo Yao and Xiangqing, and they couldn't help but feel happy.

"Seventh Uncle's health is so good, why does he still need to recuperate from minor injuries for a month? "From what I see, Seventh Uncle probably wanted the beauty to take care of him, so he did it on purpose!"

Xiang Qing stuck out her tongue to tease him. The fragrant snow unrestrainedly knocked on her head, smiling as she said, "You little imp, what do you know about this!"

"Humph!" I have heard of so many concubines my father has, and I know much more than you do. "

Xiang Qing retorted without any trace of politeness. Yun Ruo Lu only shook her head and smiled, quietly watching the two of them fighting.

Only after having lunch with Yun Ruo Lu at the Duke's Mansion did they leave. As for Xiang Qing, she started making snowmen with Jinsi in the yard. The two of them had a great time playing around.

It was unknown if it was because she was pregnant, but after eating, Yun Ruo felt very sleepy, so she went inside to take an afternoon nap.

In her dreams, Yun Ruo Lu went back to the snow-capped mountain where they were searching for immortal herbs.

She was still searching for Yuchi Chen in the thick snow, but all she could see was a vast expanse of whiteness. No matter where she looked, she couldn't find Yuchi Chen.

In the end, she fell on top of a snowy mountain and kept rolling down until she reached the side of a small hill.

The hill was not a hill, but a snowball shaped like a snowman's body. It was very big and looked like a small hill.

When she got up from the ground, even the sweet snow was gone. Alone in the snow she called out the name of the sweet snow, but no one answered her.

At this moment, the snowball hill suddenly split open, revealing half of a person's hand.

There was a black jade ring on the middle finger of that hand. When Yun Ruo glanced at it, she could tell that it was Yuchi Chen.

Thus, she did her best to dig up the pile of snow. When she dug it up, she found Yuchi Chen's corpse inside!

Yuchi Chen's face was ashen, his lips purple, his entire body ice-cold, but he was no longer breathing.

Just like that, Yun Ruo Ran stared at him as her mind went blank. She knew that this was a dream, a dream. However, the scene in his dream was so real.

Yun Ruo Lu suddenly felt a wave of abdominal pain, cried out, and was jolted awake.

When she woke up, her forehead was covered in large beads of sweat and her back was already wet.

Hearing the scream, Jinsi and Xiangqing rushed in together.

"Master, what's wrong?"

"Empress, are you alright?"

Jin Se and Xiang Qing asked worriedly at the same time. Yun Ruo Lu wiped the sweat off her forehead and said, "It's nothing, I just had a nightmare!"

"Master, look, Senior Sister and I have built a big snowman, don't you think it's beautiful?"

Xiang Qing pointed at a snowman outside the window as she asked proudly.

Yun Ruo looked out of the window and saw that Xue'er only had a fat body without a head. Her body had two dried branches, eyes and a big mouth.

The snowman was very large, and looked just like the snowy mound in her dream.

Suddenly, Yun Ruo Lu quivered and jumped off the bed. She ran into the yard and crazily destroyed the snowman.

Xiang Qing and Jin Se looked on dumbfoundedly as she finished what she was doing, but they didn't dare to say a word.

"You're not allowed to build snowmen in the courtyard anymore!"

After Yun Ruo had destroyed the snowman, she walked past Yang Qing and Jin Se, reminding them with an unfriendly tone.

Xiang Qing and Jin Se immediately felt wronged, but they could only follow Yun Ruo's orders.

"Senior Sister, what's wrong with Master?" Master's face just now was so scary! "

After Yun Ruo Lu entered the house, she slammed the door shut. She was feeling very chaotic at the moment and was in a bad mood.

Jinsi signaled Xiangqing not to speak, then shook his head at her, indicating that he didn't know either.

In the following few days, Yun Ruo Lu was unable to sleep soundly. Her heart was always a mess, and she could not calm down no matter what.

It was not until the tenth day after Yuchi Chen had left that they suddenly received news from the Fringe that they had lost the Tongguan battle. Yuchi Chen and his men had already retreated to the canyon, ready to fight again.

This piece of bad news enraged the emperor, and Yun Ruo was even more flustered when she found out about it.

She knew Tongguan, she knew the canyon over there. The terrain was easy to defend against, but hard to attack. To Yuchi Chen, this was a good place to take shelter from. However, it had been snowing for ten whole days without stopping, so Yuchi Chen and the others were in great danger.

Back then, she had gone to the borders with Yuchi Xuan, and had even gone to the Valley of Slaves at the back of the gorge.

The Emperor had dispatched three hundred thousand men to pacify the rebellion, but Yuchi Chen only had a hundred thousand men left. Two hundred thousand men remained in Yuchi Xuan's hands as backup.

With Yuchi Chen's talent, these one hundred thousand men should have been enough. However, due to the avalanche earlier, he had lost more than twenty thousand men overnight.

Naturally, Yuchi Chen was too weak to lead the 80,000 strong army against the rebel army.

The most important thing was that he was now forced back into the canyon. If the canyon was surrounded from all sides and the reinforcements were unable to make it, the enemy could just keep fighting and drag down Yuchi Chen's army.

With that in mind, Yun Ruo Lu could no longer sit still. She got Jinping to prepare a good carriage and then went to the palace to meet the emperor.

She wanted to go to the border, to help Yuchi Chen escape her predicament.

Along the way, Yun Ruo Lu was feeling quite uneasy. Before she could even reach the entrance of the palace, her carriage was blocked by another carriage.

Yun Ruo raised the carriage curtain and saw that it was a carriage from the palace. The person in the carriage seemed to be waiting for her here, and the person who came out was actually Red Calyx!
