When Yun Ruo heard this, she became even angrier. She knew that Yuchi Xuan was doing this on purpose. He clearly knew that she would come back to find him, but he purposely avoided her in order to give her a show of force.

However, Jin'er's life was more important, so she could only endure.

Yun Ruo let out a long breath and hurried back to Imperial Concubine Yu's chambers. Fortunately, they had finally found Yuchi Xuan!

When Yun Ruo and his men arrived, Yuchi Xuan and Yuerong were having their meal.

Before she had arrived, she had asked the guards at the entrance of Yuchi Xuan's sleeping quarters about Imperial Concubine Yu's shock from falling into the water a few days ago. Every day, she would clamor for the emperor to accompany her.

Thus, Yuchi Xuanxuan would spend the night in Yu Rong'er's quarters. When he had time, he would accompany her and indulge Yu Rong'er's pettiness.

Seeing that Yun Ruo Lu was already sweating profusely, although Yuchi Xuan could not bear to see her walk over, he did not take the initiative to pay any attention to her.

Only after seeing Yuchi Xuan did Yunruo calm down. Walking up to Yuchi Xuan, she bowed respectfully, saying, "Your Imperial Majesty, long live the Emperor!"

Although her body was a little inconvenient, Yun Ruo Lu still kept the etiquette standard. Since Yuchi Xuan wanted her to listen to everything he said, she would be polite to him.

Seeing Yun Ruo Lu bowing to him, Yuchi Xuan wasn't very happy. He spoke a few words in a flat voice before starting to eat with Yu-Rong'er again.

Yu Rong'er didn't greet Yun Ruo Lu. Instead, she tried everything she could to make love to Yuchi Xuanluo in front of her.

Only, Yun Ruo Man didn't seem to care. She just stood to the side, waiting for Yuchi Xuan to finish his meal. After that, she began to discuss business.

Yuchi Xuan felt very helpless at the impassive look on Yun Ruo Lu's face. With that thought in mind, he didn't ask her to sit down and eat with him. Even if he did call her, she wouldn't appreciate it.

After the long dinner was over, Yu-Rong'er made another fuss about having Yuchi Xuan accompany her to watch music and dance.

Thus, Yuchi Xuanxuan summoned the band, and together with Yu Rong'er, they began to excitedly watch the singing and dancing.

Throughout the whole process, Yun Ruo did not even have the chance to talk about the Jin Se.

The singing and dancing were too noisy, Yun Ruo Lu felt dizzy watching, so she walked to the side hall to wait. After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Yun Ruo Lu began to feel sleepy.

Looking through the screen at the situation in the hall next door, Yun Ruo Lu thought that they might have to play for a long time, so she curled up on the soft couch and took a nap.

Perhaps it was because he had walked too far today and was truly tired. Unknowingly, Yun Ruo fell asleep.

No one called her, so it was unknown how long she slept for.

When she woke up, the sky was already bright. And now, she had a cloak which was embroidered with dragon tattoos. It was easy to tell that it was Yuchi Xuan's.

Upon seeing the light of dawn, Yun Ruo Lu sat up abruptly. She remembered that she hadn't told Zhang Xuan about her matter, so why did she sleep for the entire night?

Thus, Yun Ruo Lu hurriedly stood up and ran out of the hall to see if Yuchi Xuan was still there.

When she walked out of the side hall, the scene before her gave her a fright.

On both sides of the door of the side palace were kneeling twenty palace maids, eunuchs, maids, and guards.

Judging from their miserable appearances, they must have been kneeling for a long time.

"What are you all kneeling here for?"

Yun Ruo Lu asked puzzledly, thinking that their master was not happy, and had started to go on a rampage so early in the morning to punish people?

Seeing Yun Ruo coming out, the group of people kneeling outside started to cry and kowtow, "This servant deserves to die! This servant deserves to die! "

Yun Ruo Lu watched in a daze, not knowing what was going on, and pulled the palace maid closest to her, inquiring about the situation.

"What happened?"

The palace maid's voice trembled as she replied, "Your Highness, please forgive me. This servant deserves to die for not taking good care of the Empress. Please calm your anger!"

Yun Ruo Lu still did not understand. What happened to her? You scared this group of people to such an extent?

In the end, Yu Rong'er came out of the house with a crying face and explained to Yun Ruo Lu, "Big sister, it's all my sister's fault. His sister was too playful, making his sister wait for him for a long time. "Elder sister, since it's my first time committing a crime, I'll forgive you this once."

After listening to Yu Rong'er's explanation, Yun Ruo Lu was even more exasperated. She said angrily: "Come out and explain everything to me. Why don't you all kneel down here today!"

She really wasn't able to figure out what happened. What did she not take good care of? What first time offender? There was no one who could explain it clearly.

Just then, the palace maid that had answered her continued to explain, "Last night, the Empress left on her own to go to the side hall. His Imperial Majesty thought that the Empress had returned to her chambers. But this morning, when he went to the morning court, he saw the Empress asleep on the soft couch, warm up by the bedding, and scolded her. Everyone in the entire Yu Xiu Palace was kneeling down. When has the Empress ever forgiven the servants? So that they can rise. "

After the palace maid finished speaking, the other people who were kneeling all started to shout in unison: "I deserve to die! Please forgive me, Your Highness! "

When Yun Ruo Lu found out what had happened, she was speechless and asked the heavens.

She had thought that it would be a big deal, but it turned out that such a small matter had scared everyone in the palace to such an extent. However, Yuchi Xuan had indeed gone a bit too far. She had snuck into the side hall by herself last night, and no one knew about it.

Yu Rong'er looked at Yun Ruo Lu with red eyes and a pitiful appearance.

This morning, when Yuchi Xuan had left, she had been greatly angered.

Only now did she realize just how high this Empress's status was. She absolutely could not afford to offend her.

"Elder sister …"

Yu Rong'er called out very cordially, as if she was her own sister.

Yun Ruo sighed, waved her hand and said, "Forget it, this matter has nothing to do with you. All of you, get up!"

After receiving the benevolence, the group of people who were kneeling on the ground were so excited that they were on the verge of tears, constantly kowtowing to express their gratitude.

"Where's the emperor?"

Yun Ruo Lu turned her head to ask Yu Rong'er, she was still thinking about Jin'er. This afternoon, if he wasn't able to convince Yuchi Xuan, Jinx would definitely die.

"When the emperor left, he said that if elder sister woke up and wanted to find him, she would wait in the imperial study. The emperor will naturally go after morning assembly."

Yun Ruo nodded her head and was about to head to the royal study, but someone immediately brought a sedan over.

"Elder sister, you should go in the palanquin. Elder sister has a dragon embryo, so naturally, I cannot be affected by it. "

Yu Rong'er helped Yun Ruo Lu into the sedan. Upon hearing the words' dragon embryo ', the corner of her mouth twitched, but she did not explain anything.

This morning, Yuchi Xuan had caused such a ruckus for her at the Yu Xiu Palace. Naturally, they wanted to give Yuchi Xuan the benefit of the child in her womb.

However, it was indeed much more comfortable to sit on a palanquin than to walk. Not long later, she arrived at Yuchi Xuan's imperial study.

Yuchi Xuan hadn't left yet, so Yun Ruo Lu was waiting in the imperial study.

When she felt bored, Yun Ruo Man casually took out a book to read.

After roughly an hour, Yuchi Xuan hurried over.

Seeing Yuchi Xuan return, Yun Ruo Lu immediately put down the book in her hands and stood up to welcome him.

"There are no outsiders here. There's no need to bow."

Yun Ruo nodded her head, wanting to say something about Jin Se, but suddenly, she didn't know where to start.

Yuchi Xuan sat at the back of the table, but he didn't begin to busy himself with the imperial reports. Instead, he asked, "Have you thought it through?"

"Mm, just say it directly. How can I let Jin'er go?"

Yuchi Xuan smiled and corrected him, "It's not that I don't want to let her off, but that she tried to murder my concubine. Logically speaking, we should cut her off!"

"Jin`er isn't that kind of person, I believe her!"

"You are her master, and if you hold her responsible, you are guilty. "It's a good thing that your servant was so stubborn. No matter how the empress tortured him, he always said that this had nothing to do with you."

After Yuchi Xuan finished speaking, Yun Ruo Lu's mind went blank. So this was how Jin'er's hand was injured. Her silly Jin'er always suffered for her.

"Did you know that someone was trying to frame me?"

Yun Ruo Lu narrowed her eyes and ground her teeth. Earlier, Yuchi Xuan had said very clearly that if Jin'er couldn't take the punishment, then she would be the one to suffer.

"In this harem, there are no eternal friends, and no one can always protect another. If he wanted to not let his men get hurt, he would have to climb up step by step. Only with supreme power will they respect you. "

Yuchi Xuan slowly sipped a mouthful of tea and let Yun Ruo Lu carefully savor what he had just said.

Yun Ruo Lu knew what Yuchi Xuan wanted to say, but he wasn't wrong. If she wanted something like this to stop happening, she had to have the right to do it. The only person who could give her authority was Yuchi Xuan!

"If I agree to marry you, what right does the Emperor intend to give me?"

Yun Ruo and her gaze were fixed upon Yuchi Xuan. A smile finally appeared in the corner of Yuchi Xuan's eyes.

"I've said that as long as you behave to be my woman, I can give you a higher status than the empress, even if it means you're on equal footing with me!"

As Yuchi Xuan spoke, he got up and pulled Yun Ruo You over to his side. He then asked her to sit with him. After that, without hiding anything, he opened the imperial report in front of Yun Ruo Lu and looked through it.

Yuchi Xuanluo's conditions were indeed attractive, to the point that even Yun Ruo and LuLu were slightly tempted.

She wanted to become strong. She wanted to stand on high ground and let those who had framed her to step on her.

"My beloved concubine, how are you considering it now?"

Yuchi Xuan gently held onto Yun Ruo's waist with one arm.

Yun Ruo Lu closed her eyes and nodded. And then, Yuchi Xuan's kiss wildly landed on her lips.

Yuchi Xuan's kiss was domineering and frantic, filled with longing and excitement.

When Yun Ruo Lu left Yuchi Xuan's study, she had gained an additional identity – the imperial concubine!

Although her position was lower than the empress, the power that Yuchi Xuan had given her was far greater than that of the empress!

The Jin Se was also released from the Sky Prison. The Cloud Locking Hall also had a new name, the Cloud Jade Palace!

In an instant, Yun Ruo's name spread throughout the harem.
