Yun Ruo Man felt a surge of blood energy and felt like she was about to vomit blood.

Seeing Yun Ruo Lu's sorrowful expression, Yuchi Xuan tried to control her emotions and said, "The Imperial Physician said that you've been pregnant for more than three months. Your emotions can't go up and down right now; even if it's for your child, stay by my side and I'll give you endless amounts of wealth and honor."

Hearing the name of the child, Yun Ruo Lu immediately stopped crying. Right, she still needed to protect the child in her womb. This was Yuchi Chen's only flesh and blood.

Thinking of this, Yun Ruo Lu tried her best to recover her calm. Only, she didn't want to speak to Yuchi Xuan again.

After Yuchi Xuan left, Cloudjade found out that he was staying in the Locked Cloud Palace. This was a palace that Yuchi Xuan had specially arranged for her. The palace had all sorts of rare treasures.

However, Yuchi Xuan didn't give her a title. He said that he would wait a bit longer. But Yuchi Xuan had promised her that even though he wouldn't give her the position of empress, he would give her more authority than the empress.

However, she did not want any of that power because she did not want anything from Yuchi Xuan.

Yun Ruo Lu didn't care about this at all. She now knew that from the very beginning, this place had been part of Yuchi Xuan's plan. From the time she had gone to the Fringe Graveyard to search for the treasures, Yuchi Xuan had only used them to secretly build up his forces.

It was Yuchi Xuan who had given the red calyx to the Emperor. She had learned that there was a deal between her and Yuchi Xuan.

Yun Ruo Lu could roughly guess that in order to change the fate of her country, she would need Yuchi Xuan's help. Yuchi Xuan wanted the emperor, so she became his second tool of use.

As for her, she had only been a chess piece for Yuchi Xuan in the beginning. Only, Yuchi Xuan hadn't expected that he would fall in love with this chess piece, which was why she had survived.

When Yuchi Xuan ascended the throne, he said that Prime Minister Yun had done a great service and that her sister had become the Empress.

In the past, she hadn't paid much attention to Yun Wei. The only reason he had been able to return from Slave Valley and regain his position as Prime Minister was because of Yuchi Xuan.

When Yuchi Xuan had married her sister, he had always said that he had his own difficulties. Most likely, that was the reason why Yuchi Xuan needed someone to secretly help him stabilize his power. And that person was Yun Wei. Yun Wei was worried that Yuchi Xuan would destroy the bridge after crossing the river, so he made it a condition for Yuchi Xuan to marry her sister.

And her sister was the fourth victim. Although she had a bright and beautiful identity, she knew that her sister had never fallen for Yuchi Xuan.

Meng Fei'er had once said something very strange to her. She said that there was a demon in the palace and a demon in the palace who was going to change the weather.

She had originally thought that the monstrous genius Meng Fei'er had mentioned was her … but she had never imagined that this person would be Yuchi Xuan.

By the time Yun Ruo realized what had happened, it was already too late.

The people who left her could no longer come back. The world had changed.

Yun Ruo Lu stayed in the Locked Cloud Hall for three days without leaving the house. Yuchi Xuan would come and accompany her every night on time. Even if she didn't say anything, he was still very patient with her.

When Yun Ruo Lu heard this name, she could not help but feel bitter in her heart.

The next day. Yuchi Xuan left the Cloud Locking Hall early in the morning and headed for the morning assembly.

When she woke up, Jinsi was actually in the palace.

Seeing the brocade, Yun Ruo Lu could not help but slightly heave a sigh of relief in her heart. She had always been worried about the safety of the brocade, but since she could not even take care of herself, she could only pray that nothing would happen to the brocade.

"Empress …"

Jinx had been kneeling by Yun Ruo Lu's bedside the entire time. She didn't know how long he had knelt there, but she felt a little sour in her heart. She got up and helped him up.

"Jin'er, why are you here?"

Yun Ruo slowly pulled up Jin Se's hand. Only then did she realize that Jin Se's body had some wounds on it. It was obvious that the wounds were caused by a whip.

Jin Se retracted his hand in fear. He didn't even dare to raise his eyes to look at Yun Ruo Lu.

"Jin'er, what's going on? Who hit you? "

Yun Ruo Lu asked excitedly, she could imagine that the wound on the back of the hand was only a small part, there must be more wounds like that on the body.

Jinsi only sobbed, but she didn't dare to say anything. She had a very scared look on her face.

"Jin'er, don't be afraid. Tell me, I will definitely uphold justice for you!"

"Your Majesty sent all the servants in the Prince's Mansion to be slaves at the border. The scars on Jin'er's body was inflicted upon her on her way to the border. "I heard that the Empress had been depressed at the palace, so the Emperor sent someone to bring Jin'er back to accompany the Empress."

Hearing Jin Se's words, Yun Ruo remembered the other people from the Fifth Prince's Mansion and asked nervously, "What happened to the Prince's Mansion?"

"The Duke's Mansion is gone. It has been completely destroyed. The other members of the royal estate either died or were injured, and those who were still alive became slaves. "

Actually, Yun Ruo Lu had expected such an outcome. However, when she heard Jin'er mention it, she still felt a bit sad.

"Empress, you must properly cherish your body and bring out the prince's only flesh and blood."

Jin Se wiped the tears off her face and said resolutely. Yun Ruo felt that the Jin Se had matured quite a bit in one night, and had become much stronger as well.

Yun Ruo Lu gently hugged Jin Se and nodded her head.

Life in the palace was very peaceful. Yuchi Xuan still came every night to accompany her, and even if he had a memorial for her, he would probably order people to move it to her bedroom.

It seemed that only by guarding her would he be able to feel at ease.

As for YunRuo Lu, she still didn't speak much to Yuchi Xuan, because whenever she did, she especially wanted to argue with him. It was good to not say anything like this, each of them doing their own thing.

Only, she didn't know how long Yuchi Xuan would be able to maintain his patience.

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. Spring had arrived, and Yun Ruo's stomach was starting to grow larger day by day.

After living in the palace for more than a month, Yun Ruo Lu had also gradually gotten used to living here.

However, she didn't forget her hatred for him because of his peaceful life. Yuchi Xuan wasn't the type of person she wanted to live with. That was why she was recuperating and preparing to leave this place after giving birth to her child.

If she left now, Yuchi Xuan would definitely order people to pursue her. She was just a pregnant woman who had been working her way around the world, so she didn't care. What she was afraid of was that it would affect the fetus in her womb.

On this day, Jinsi picked some fresh flowers from the imperial garden and told her, "Empress, it has been a long time since you last went out for a stroll. This is not good for your health. The Imperial Garden has many beautiful words. Jin'er will accompany you for a walk. "

Yun Ruo Lu glanced at the flower branches in Jinsi's hands. It was a few plum blossoms. That La Mei was opening very enthusiastically. There was a tree branch that was packed densely with light yellow flowers. From afar, one could smell the delicate fragrance of her spleen.

For some reason, Yun Ruo Lu suddenly began to miss Mei Yuan who was in the Prince's Mansion.

There were many of these plum trees in the Plum Garden where she lived. Previously, she had always tried to think of ways to leave that place, but now, it seemed that she would suddenly return to take a look.

But she could no longer return to the palace. The palace no longer existed, and she could no longer see the plum blossoms in the Plum Garden.

Seeing that Yun Ruo Lu was lost in her sorrowful contemplation, Jin Se quickly walked to her side and said with concern, "Your Highness, don't think too much about it. If you don't want to go out, we won't go out."

Yun Ruo Lu shook her head and said: "Jin'er, accompany me to the Imperial Garden for a stroll!"

Previously, she didn't want to leave the Locked Cloud Palace. It wasn't because she was afraid of people she knew gossiping with her, but because she wasn't in the mood.

Ever since Yuchi Xuan ascended the throne, all of the imperial concubines and palace maids he had been able to trade for had been changed. Therefore, there were very few people who knew her.

She had heard that in order to fill up the harem, Yuchi Xuan had recently taken in yet another group of beauties to the palace. But that was not her concern, and she did not care.

The weather outside was very good today. The sunlight gave people a warm feeling.

It had been a long time since Yun Ruo Lu had come out to walk. Being exposed to the sunlight like this made her feel much more energetic.

Seeing that Yun Ruo Lu no longer revealed any signs of worry, Jin Se's mood also improved. Along the way, she pointed at all kinds of open flowers and talked nonstop.

After she got tired of walking, Yun Ruo Lu found a pavilion to rest in. On one side of the pavilion was a pond with lotus leaves inside. There were also a lot of goldfish swimming under the lotus leaves.

The maid went to get the fish food and passed it to Yun Ruo Lu.

Yun Ruo had nothing to do, so she began to feed the fish. The moment the fish food was thrown down, all the fish swam over, rushing to be the first to squeeze their mouths together. It was truly a beautiful sight.

Yun Ruo Lu forgot her worries for a moment and couldn't help but laugh.

"Empress, these fish look so cute."

Seeing that Yun Ruo was happy, Jin Se was even more happy. He wanted to bring his esteemed wife out to relax. This really was a good idea.

Just as the two of them were having fun, the laughter of several girls came from behind them.

Yun Ruo turned her head and saw that three new concubines had come to play together. Each of them looked to be in high spirits, radiating with vigor.

All of the concubines were unfamiliar faces. She did not recognize any of them, so she did not care and continued to feed them to the fishes for fun.

The three concubines walked into the pergola as they chatted and laughed, and when they saw that there was someone in the pergola, they were astonished for a moment.

The three of them saw that Yun Ruo Lu's clothing was very simple and didn't have a headband like her, so they naturally categorized her as unfavoured.

One of them stood up and asked Yun Ruo Lu: "Who are you? Why didn't you come over to greet me! "

Hearing this arrogant voice, Yun Ruo Lu was not angry, but she did not care about it, and continued to play with her own three companions.

Perhaps it was because she had been thwarted, but the woman was very angry. It was possible that among the three of them, the one who spoke was the one with the highest status. Seeing her being thwarted, the other imperial concubine could not help but stand forward and shout: "How dare you! She actually dared to be so rude to the esteemed imperial concubine!
