After Yan Feng left, Yun Ruo Lu chatted with Ke Yunjin for a while.

She also promised that when this was done, she would betroth Jinsei to him.

Yun Ruo Lu was very clear about what had happened between Ke Yunjin and Jinsi, but she didn't have the time to discuss it alone. Plus, there were too many things to do, so he didn't have the time to do them.

When Ke Yunjin left, his heart was filled with joy. Yun Ruo Lu told him to return and wait for news. She reckoned that before sunset, he would be able to regain his position as a general.

After arranging for Ke Yunjin and Yan Feng to leave, Yunruo had Jinsi accompany her to find Yuchi Xuan.

After all, Yuchi Xuan still needed to approve of the promotion of Ke Yunjin to the commander in chief of the imperial guards. Adding on Ke Yunjin's previous identity, this matter would not be easy to handle.

However, no matter how difficult it was, she had to try her best.

When Yun Ruo Lu rushed over to Yuchi Xuan's study, she saw an old friend that she hadn't seen for a long time. It was Yun Wei.

Yuchi Xuan and Yun Wei were discussing something when Yun Ruo came over. Yun Wei immediately shut his mouth, afraid that she might have heard something.

"Chenqie pays her respects to Your Majesty!"

Yun Ruo Lu bowed to Yuchi Xuan, only glancing at Yun Wei, but didn't greet him.

Now that she had a new identity, she was no longer like the previous Yun Ruo Lu. She naturally had no way to get along with Yun Wei, the crafty fellow.

As for Yun Wei, he had no choice but to lower his voice and address her as Imperial Concubine.

"Why is my beloved concubine here?"

Naturally, Yuchi Xuan pulled Yun Ruo You to his side and sat down. However, what happened before Yun Wei's eyes was extraordinary.

To be able to stand on equal footing with the Emperor, the Emperor's influence must not be underestimated. It seems that he absolutely must not offend this woman in the future.

Towards Yun Ruo Lu, Yun Wei had never truly treated her as his own daughter. It was not only because her birth had killed the woman he loved the most in his life, but also because before she was born, a fortune-teller had said that this girl had the fate of a True Dragon.

At that time, he was rather frightened, and was even more unwilling to believe the nonsense of the martial artists. However, he did not dare to raise Yun Ruo, so he had raised her in his residence, ignoring everything else.

He had never thought that this child would actually fly up to a tree branch and become a phoenix one day. Not only that, but he had even flown up to the ninth heaven.

"Since the emperor and Prime Minister Yun are discussing national affairs again, then chenqie won't be in a good position to disturb you. Your majesty should continue with her work first, chenqie will sit around for a while."

Yun Ruo Lu's meaning was very clear: she wanted to listen in on the side.

Perhaps it was because the matter was too shameful, but Yuchi Xuan immediately coughed and said to Yun Wei, "Yun Aiqing, you may leave now."

"As you command!"

Yun Wei's face was a little pale as he shakily retreated.

Seeing that Yuchi Xuanxuan was able to pull away from Yunqi, Cloudjade knew that there must be a problem. However, she had come for Ke Yunjin's matter, so she no longer bothered with the previous matter.

"What has my beloved concubine come to me for? Do you miss me so soon? "

With a smile on his face, Yuchi Xuan naturally wrapped his arms around Yun Ruo Lu and held her in his arms. He was infatuated with the fragrance of the flowers around her neck, as if the smell could calm his mind.

Yun Ruo Lu did not reject Yuchi Xuan. Since she had a request, she had to first make him happy.

"Chenqie was worried that the emperor would be too busy by himself, so she came to take a look. At the same time, she cooked some tonics to nourish the emperor's body."

At this time, Jinsi handed over the things he was carrying, and Yun Ruo Lu opened the lid. Inside the bowl, there was a bowl of pitch-black water, just like a traditional Chinese medicine.

However, it did not smell bad. It had the fragrance of mint. Yuchi Xuan drank a mouthful. It was much better than he had expected. Drinking it down felt cool and cold, and it was a great relief in summer.

"What is this?"

Yuchi Xuan looked puzzledly at the black item in the bowl. It seemed very strange that such an ugly item could be so delicious.

Yun Ruo smiled and explained: "Could it be that the emperor has forgotten that this is a tribute from the Southern Champion Kingdom? This chenqie can't finish it all by herself, so she wants to taste it together with the Emperor. "

It was true that the Southern Champion Kingdom had sent someone to deliver this, but the ingredients inside were naturally the ones that had done the trick.

If he wanted to control Yuchi Xuan, he naturally couldn't be impatient. He had to slowly do so.

At the mention of the Southern Champion Kingdom, Yuchi Xuan suddenly remembered something and said to Yun Ruo Lu: "Does my beloved concubine still remember that the Emperor of the Southern Champion Kingdom said he wanted to visit Yuchi Kingdom personally?"

Yun Ruo thought about it and nodded: "Eh? Didn't they say that they would be here in a few days? "What's wrong?"

"It is said that there was a problem along the way, and it may have taken a month to get there. For this matter, the Emperor of the Southern Champion Kingdom has already sent three ambassadors over to apologize. The fourth is already on his way. "

Hearing Yuchi Xuan's very helpless words, Yun Ruo Lu suddenly couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing.

"This Emperor of the Southern Champion Kingdom is truly adorable, but he also seems very sincere."

Seeing that Yun Ruo Lu was finally smiling, Yuchi Xuan was very happy. However, there was a hint of jealousy in his words.

"He's merely a timid old man who's over a hundred years old. Does his beloved concubine think he's cute? "What about me?"

Yun Ruo Lu couldn't stand this ambiguous atmosphere and immediately changed the topic, "I almost forgot my proper business. Chenqie saw Ke Yunjin today and found out that the emperor had demoted him to a pawn before a horse? I'm afraid that's not good, right? "

"Oh? What's wrong with that? "My beloved concubine, please speak."

Yuchi Xuan had a patient look on his face, but he was willing to listen to what Yun Ruo had to say.

"Ke Yunjin was a general in the past, but his father was also an old official in the imperial court. Hadn't the emperor been having a headache about managing the army? On the other hand, chenqie feels that if she can reinstate Ke Yunjin and let him manage the army, she naturally wouldn't have to worry. "

"But …"

Yuchi Xuan was still a bit worried. He was worried that Ke Yunjin harbored ulterior motives. If she handed over the military power to him, wouldn't that mean …?

"If Your Majesty feels uneasy, he can arrange for a position to be held in the palace. Wasn't the imperial guards lacking a general? What did the Emperor think of leaving it to him? This way, you will be able to pacify those old officials, and will also be able to guard them right under your nose. So naturally, there won't be too much of a problem. "

Although Yun Ruo and her husband seemed to be asking for Yuchi Xuan's opinion, they had already somehow managed to lure him in and help him make the decision.

If it wasn't for Yun Ruo Lu who opened her mouth to talk about this matter, he would never be able to hand this position over to Ke Yunjin.

However, in order to win her favor, he would temporarily agree. The entire palace was filled with his men and spies. If Ke Yunjin dared to do anything, he could find an excuse to get rid of him.

Thinking this way, Yuchi Xuan felt much more relaxed.

"Since my beloved concubine has already spoken, then what reason does This Emperor have to not agree? "It's just that I've agreed to the things that my beloved concubine wants to do. What benefits does I get then?"

As Yuchi Xuan spoke, he looked at Yun Ruo Lu with an evil grin.

Yun Ruo Lu gritted her teeth and told herself that she had to endure the humiliation. She took the initiative to kiss Yuchi Xuan's lips, but when she felt his attack, she immediately let him go.

"Alright, this is the reward!"

After Yun Ruo Lu finished speaking, she left Yuchi Xuan and, before leaving, reminded, "Your Majesty, do not forget to drink that tonic. I heard that drinking it every day can extend one's lifespan. Chenqie even sent someone to deliver it to the emperor on time! Since the emperor is busy, chenqie will no longer disturb you and will take her leave first! "

After saying that in a single breath, Yun Ruo Lu left in a fluster. Yuchi Xuan looked at Yun Ruo Lu's retreating back with a profound look. It was hard to tell what he was thinking about in his heart.

However, he casually picked up the bowl of medicine and poured it out for the parrot to drink.

He could indulge everything she wanted, even if one day she wanted him dead.

However, he wanted to know how much weight he still held in her heart. Was it really her?

He couldn't tell, but he wanted to believe it was her.

After exiting Yuchi Xuan's royal study, Yun Ruo Lu took deep breaths. Jinnin went over to support her and asked worriedly, "Empress, are you alright?"

"It's fine, help me return to the palace!"

Yun Ruo Lu's gaze was ice-cold. She was the same as the two in the royal study. Jin Se looked on worriedly. For revenge, she saw that Yun Ruo Man had suppressed too many things.

Jin Se escorted Yun Ruo Lu back to the palace. However, when he saw Yun Ruo Lu's depressed expression, he became even more worried.

After some thought, he suddenly recalled the content of the conversation he had with a few palace maids that day, so he told them to let Yun Ruo listen.

"Niangniang, Jin`er heard that there's a temple outside the city that's very effective, why don't we go pay our respects to Guanyin?"

"Oh? What does that Guanyin Temple want? "

Yun Ruo had nothing better to do, so she sat and drank tea as she listened to Jin Se.

"Mm …" It seems like … It should be a marriage alliance, right? "

Yun Ruo Lu was speechless, but she wasn't angry. Instead, she smiled and said: "Jin'er, you don't think that your mother's marriage is over yet do you?"

"Jin`er doesn't dare, Jin`er is just …" It's just that I'm afraid that the Empress might be bored in the palace, so I wanted to find a place to take the Empress away. "

Jin'er had a wronged expression as she spoke. Yun Ruo Lu naturally understood her intentions, but when she suddenly thought of her dead child, she became interested in going to the Guanyin Temple.

Regardless of whether the spirit was fulfilled or not, she still wanted to go to the temple to spend some time with her child. This could be considered her own wish.

"Jin'er, tell the court to prepare. I've decided to leave the palace for a few days."

Right now, she really did not want to stay in the Imperial Palace. Perhaps taking a walk outside was a good thing.

Jin'er hesitated for a moment before looking at the sky outside and exhorting, "Empress, it is already late today. By the time we arrive at the Guanyin Temple, it will probably be dark." "It might not be safe, so why don't we go back tomorrow?"

Yun Ruo Lu laughed coldly: "Is there any place more unsafe than this imperial palace?"

After saying this, Jinsi didn't say anything else and directly ran out in preparation.
