Seeing Yun Ruo Yao, Yun Ruo Lu put Xiang Qing on the bed, stood up and called out: "Big sister, long time no see!"

Just as the words left her mouth, the palace maid by Yun Ruo Yao's side stopped her: "How dare you! "Why aren't you kneeling even after seeing the empress!"

Yun Ruo Lu looked at Yun Ruo Yao in astonishment, and only regained her senses after a long while. The current Yun Ruo Yao was the empress of a mother to the world. She naturally wouldn't be that elder sister who treated her so intimately in the past.

Yun Ruo Yao saw Yun Ruo Lu's astonishment and couldn't help but shout at the palace maid beside her: "Xing'er, don't be rude!"

He then turned to Yun Ruo Lu and asked, "Why is younger sister here so early?"

Yun Ruo Yao knew that Yuchi Xuan was hosting a banquet tonight to celebrate with the Fifth Prince, Yuchi Chen. She thought that she would only be able to see her little sister at night, but unexpectedly, she met her here.

"I heard that the princess is sick, so I came to take a look."

She still wasn't used to Yun Ruo Yao being the empress, she kept having the feeling that her elder sister had changed a lot.

"I am also here to see the little princess. Your Majesty is worried about her illness and asked me to take good care of it."

Yun Ruo Yao very naturally sat down on the bed beside Xiang Qing. She used her long armoured hand to touch Xiang Qing's face.

Xiang Qing unhappily dodged, and immediately turned her back to Yun Ruo Yao.

Seeing this, Yun Ruo Yao awkwardly smiled and said: "It seems that the little princess isn't in a good mood. I've made candies and pears for her, I heard that the sweet water can stop coughing, let her drink some."

As soon as Yun Ruo Yao finished speaking, someone came in with a bowl of sweet water.

"Sis …" Esteemed Empress, since Xiangqing's coughing is so bad, she shouldn't be able to drink anymore. Why don't we wait for her to recover before drinking? "

Yun Ruo saw that the sweet water was still steaming, and thought to herself, how can I drink that?

"Whatever, let's drink again in a while."

Yun Ruo Yao waved her hand, stood up, walked to Yun Ruo Lu's side, pulled her hand and said: "Little sister, we haven't seen each other for a long time, let's chat outside."

When Yun Ruo Lu walked to the door, she turned her head to look at Xiangqing, only to see Xiangqing pouting with an aggrieved expression on her face. She seemed to be unwilling to let her go.

Yun Ruo Lu smiled from Xiang Qing's head, indicating that she should rest well. She would come visit her another day.

Walking out of Xiangqing's palace, Yun Ruo Yao pulled Yun Ruo and wandered around the palace. Sometimes they talked about things that had happened when they were young, and sometimes they talked about things that had happened in the Imperial Palace. Although the two sisters talked the whole way, they didn't think the same thing. The memories in Yun Ruo's heart seemed to be very far away.

Yun Ruo Lu listened seriously, but didn't say anything.

The current Yuchi Dynasty made it all the more impossible for her to think about it. Now that Yuchi Xuan was the Emperor, it was time for her to leave.

Yun Ruo Yao had always wanted Yun Ruo to accompany her around the Imperial Palace, and after a stroll, it was already time for the banquet.

After walking for an entire afternoon, Yun Ruo felt her legs go soft.

She clearly knew in her heart why Yun Ruo Yao acted this way, it was as though her mistress was showing off her house to a guest.

But she didn't care, because Yun Ruo Yao was her big sister. And she didn't want to argue with her.

During the banquet, Yuchi Chen wore a black robe and looked very solemn.

Yun Ruo Lu walked to his side and sat down. The moment she sat down, Yuchi Chen grabbed her hand.

There was a thin layer of sweat on Yuchi Chen's palms. Yun Ruo Lu felt that he was a little strange and turned her head to look at him, but Yuchi Chen did not say anything.

She had no idea what was going on with Yuchi Chen, but she had the feeling that something had happened tonight.

After the banquet had begun, the entire imperial court came to attend, and the scene was bustling with noise and excitement.

During the banquet, Yuchi Chen drank a mouthful of wine in silence. Within the time it took for an incense stick to burn, he had finished drinking an entire pot of wine.

Yun Ruo said softly as she snatched the jug of wine in front of Yuchi Chen, "Drinking too much wine hurts your body. Your highness, it's better not to drink too much."

When she looked on the other side of Yuchi Chen, she miraculously discovered that Liu Yanhan wasn't present tonight.

"Come have a drink with This King!"

Yuchi Chen wrapped his arms around Yun Ruo Lu's waist and pulled her into his embrace.

This action, from the perspective of the onlookers, appeared to be quite dubious. Naturally, it entered the eyes of Yuchi Xuan.

Only Yun Ruo knew that when she had fallen into Yuchi Chen's arms, Yuchi Chen had seized the opportunity to whisper into her ear.

Those words caused her heart to fiercely tremble, and her mind started to panic.

"I can't be the father of our child!"

Yun Ruo Lu stared at Yuchi Chen in astonishment, curious to know what he meant.

At this moment, just as the singing and dancing within the hall was reaching its climax, a group of fully armed soldiers suddenly rushed in from outside the hall.

Yuchi Chen stood up and walked into the hall. He stared at Yuchi Xuan with glowing eyes and a cold tone.

"Yuchi Xuan!" You usurped the throne to murder the Emperor. Today, this king will kill this unworthy descendant of yours on behalf of the ancestors of the imperial family! "

Yun Ruo Lu looked at the scene before her in astonishment. She abruptly stood up and wanted to run to Yuchi Chen's side when she saw another group of men rushing in and start fighting with Yuchi Chen.

"Fifth Prince, if you commit an offense and try to seek revenge, arrest him!"

Yuchi Xuan stood up, smashing the wine cup in his hand. Instantly, the hall was in a state of chaos.

Amidst the chaos, Yun Ruo Lu squeezed her way to Yuchi Chen's side and grabbed his hand. Without hesitation, she said, "I am already pregnant!"

Hearing these words, Yuchi Chen was immediately stunned. He had said those words just now just to express that he was afraid he wouldn't be able to spend the rest of his life together, but he had absolutely no idea that Yun Ruo was really pregnant.

His mind was in a mess for a moment. Then, he suddenly grabbed Yun Ruo Lu's hand tightly and said resolutely: "Yun'er, I'll bring you out with me to kill your way out!"

His original plan had been to have Yunruo remain in the palace. At least Yuchi Xuan wouldn't hurt her. However, because of this sudden news, he had no choice but to change his plans temporarily.

He only hoped that he could make it in time. Otherwise, he would regret it for the rest of his life!

"Even if I die, I want to be with you!"

In the midst of the chaotic battle, Yuchi Chen led Yun Ruo out of the palace. Yuchi Xuan had already predicted that Yuchi Chen would react in such a way, and so he had set up an ambush.

Seeing his men die one by one in front of his eyes, Yuchi Chen's eyes immediately reddened.

However, by the time they arrived at the city, there were already less than a hundred of them. On the other hand, Yuchi Xuan's thousand-strong army was surrounding them tightly.

Yuchi Xuan also followed him out. He wanted to see Yuchi Chen die in front of him with his own eyes. Otherwise, he wouldn't be willing!

In the middle of the encirclement, in order to prevent Yun Ruo Lu and her child from getting hurt, Yuchi Chen mercilessly pushed Yun Ruo Lu out.

Yun Ruo Lu turned her head to look at Yuchi Chen in surprise, but unexpectedly fell into a firm embrace.

"Don't look!"

Yuchi Xuan held Yun Ruo You in his embrace, his hands covering her hands.

Yun Ruo Lu felt her body suddenly go limp. Only now did she recall the wine Yuchi Chen had drunk for her in the main hall.

It turned out that the wine had been drugged. He had planned everything long ago, and was planning to abandon her.

The sounds of fighting continuously rang in her ears. She could not see anything as tears started streaming down her face uncontrollably. Her consciousness also gradually started to blur, until her vision turned dark.

When Yun Ruo Lu woke up, she was already in an unfamiliar room. The room was very large, and the decorations inside were very extravagant.

Without even thinking, she knew that she was inside the Imperial Palace.

The moment Yun Ruo Lu opened her eyes, she remembered what happened in the palace that night and her heart began to ache involuntarily.

She didn't know what had happened to Yuchi Chen or whether she had escaped.

Not long after, the door to the room creaked open. Yun Ruo Lu could faintly hear the people from the palace bowing outside and knew that Yuchi Xuan had arrived.

She immediately closed her eyes again, pretending not to wake up.

Moments later, she felt a person sitting on the bed with a familiar fragrance of golden flowers.

"Yun'er, it's already been four days. How long do you plan to sleep for?"

Yuchi Xuan let out a helpless sigh. There was a hint of grief in his voice as he gently caressed Yun Ruo Lu's face. He was instantly overjoyed.

"Yun'er, I know you're awake." "Open your eyes and look at Zhen!"

Although Yun Ruo Lu had her eyes closed, he could feel the warmth from Yun Ruo Lu's face and he could tell whether she was really sleeping or just pretending.

Yun Ruo didn't want to see Yuchi Xuan, so she pretended not to hear him and continued to pretend to sleep.

Having no other choice, Yuchi Xuan asked, "Don't you want to know where Yuchi Chen is?"

Upon hearing Yuchi Chen, Yun Ruo Lu abruptly opened her eyes and sat up. Her eyes widened as she looked at Yuchi Xuan and asked, "What did you do to him?"

"Hehe, you still care so much about him? "Have you forgotten how you promised me when you were in the military camp?"

Of course he would tell her what had happened to Yuchi Chen. If he didn't tell her, how would he make her give up?

"I want to know the whereabouts of the prince!" Yun Ruo's tone was filled with excitement.

"He's dead!"

Yuchi Xuan said one word at a time, his tone very firm. It didn't seem like he was lying at all.

"I don't believe it!"

Yun Ruo Lu said in shock. Although she said that she didn't believe him, her tears started to flow uncontrollably.

That night, Yuchi Chen was surrounded by more than a thousand guards, making it almost impossible to break out of the encirclement. However, she was unwilling to believe that Yuchi Chen had truly died.

"What do you think this is?"

Yuchi Xuan took out a silver-white wolf tooth mask from his wide sleeves.

Yun Ruo recognized it at a glance. It belonged to Yuchi Chen. She had no choice but to believe Yuchi Xuan's words. Yuchi Chen was truly dead!

Yun Ruo Lu snatched the mask from Yuchi Xuan's hands and began to cry in grief.

Feeling heartbroken, Yuchi Xuan held her in his arms and consoled her, "Yun'er, everything I've done is for the sake of being with you. "Just follow me from now on and don't leave, okay?"

Yun Ruo Lu wanted to push him away, but he held her even tighter. She would not fall in love with this demon, never!
