Just as Xiang Qing was tired from playing, she was finally willing to stop and rest. Before Yun Ruo You pulled her into the pavilion, they couldn't hear the panicked cries of a maid coming from afar.

"This is bad …" Not good … "Esteemed Empress hanged herself …"

Hearing this news, Yun Ruo Man and Xiang Qing looked at each other in astonishment, both feeling disbelief.

Yun Ruo You looked at the guard by her side, and the palace maid who was shouting was immediately brought to Yun Ruo Lu to interrogate her.

"What did you just say? Say that again? "

Yun Ruo Lu looked at the palace maid kneeling in front of her, her tone sounding a little anxious. This palace maid was Yun Ruo Yao's personal maid, and rumors were not allowed in the palace. If she dared to run around and shout like that, there would be no lies.

"Esteemed Empress, I beg you to save esteemed empress. Esteemed Empress hanged herself …"

The palace maid trembled as she sobbed.

Yun Ruo Lu pondered for a moment, then instructed the people beside her: "Pass on the imperial physician, take over the Serenity Hall!"

Although this matter shouldn't be fake, Yun Ruo Lu guessed that there must be something behind it. Otherwise, if the empress didn't immediately summon the imperial physician and instead ran around advertising like this, there must be some sort of motive.

If her guess was not wrong, this was a plan that Yun Ruo Yao had resorted to when she wanted to leave the Serenity Hall.

But even if there was a trick to it, she wanted to see it for herself.

"Master, Xiangqing doesn't want to go to the Serenity Hall, so she won't go with Master."

Yun Ruo had only taken a few steps when Xiang Qing, who was by the side, pulled her hand and said. Yun Ruo thought about it, and felt that these scenes really weren't suitable for Xiangqing to see, so she nodded in agreement.

By the time Yun Ruo Lu rushed to the Serenity Hall, the place was already in an uproar. There were many palace servants outside the door, and Yuchi Xuan had arrived a step earlier to stand guard by Yun Ruo Yao's bedside.

Yun Ruo Man would never have thought that Yuchi Xuan came here so actively not because he was worried about Yun Ruo Yao's safety, but to confirm if Yun Ruo Yao was dead or not.

If Yun Ruo Yao really did commit suicide, then he wouldn't have to worry about what would happen after he crippled her.

However, even though he had this thought in his mind, he still needed to do more than he could on the surface. As a result, when Yun Ruo Lu walked in, she immediately saw that three imperial physicians had already arrived and were treating Yun Ruo Yao. As for Yuchi Xuan, he was guarding the bed with a complicated expression.

"Chenqie pays her respects to Your Majesty!"

Yun Ruo Lu walked into the inner hall, bowed to Yuchi Xuan, and then walked over to the side of the bed to look at Yun Ruo Yao's condition. Yun Ruo Yao was still unconscious, there were indeed scars on her neck, and her face was pale and haggard.

Yuchi Xuan didn't say anything. He just watched quietly.

Yun Ruo Lu also quietly stayed by the bed for a while. She felt really bored, so she walked to the side and picked up the white silk that Yun Ruo Yao had hung on.

The white silk looked as if it had been torn off because it couldn't bear the pressure, but there was a very neat hole at the side. One could tell that it had been made using sharp weapons.

Maybe it was because she didn't have a good grasp of the situation, so she really almost took Yun Ruo Yao's life.

Yun Ruo Lu found it laughable, she never thought that Yun Ruo Yao really knew how to play around, she could even think of such a trick. However, if she didn't do this, then in the future, not only would she not be able to see Yuchi Xuan in person, she would also have to spend her life alone in the cold palace.

However, if it were her, she would definitely not choose such a foolish method.

After the time it took to make a cup of tea, the imperial physicians finished their work and came to a unanimous conclusion. They knelt in front of Yuchi Xuan and congratulated him. "Congratulations, Your Majesty. The Empress is already pregnant!"

Hearing this news, Yuchi Xuan suddenly felt dizzy and his mind went blank. His face didn't reveal any expression of surprise or joy, but rather, it instantly turned solemn.

Yun Ruo You was elated as he didn't expect her plan to go so smoothly. Yun Ruo Yao had become pregnant so quickly.

Almost at the same time, Yun Ruo Yao actually slowly woke up. She clearly heard the sounds of the imperial physicians congratulating her, and her face instantly filled with tears.

This was because she knew that the arrival of this child would be the best opportunity for her to turn the situation around.

No matter how much Yuchi Xuan despised Yun Ruo Yao, he would not ruthlessly kill his first child.

So even if he wanted to do something to Yun Ruo Yao, he had to wait until this child was born, so this child could indeed protect Yun Ruo Yao for a period of time.

If Yun Ruo Yao successfully gave birth to a boy after October, with the high status of a mother, perhaps Yun Ruo Yao's position might really change.

Yun Ruo Lu also saw this, and thought about it in her heart.

She suddenly felt that Yun Ruo Yao might be the most tragic empress in the history of Yuchi Kingdom, because the next few days would not go as smoothly as she had imagined.

The empress's pregnancy should have been a celebration. However, Yuchi Xuan didn't make much of a move. He only ordered for Yun Ruo Yao to be sent back to the Middle Palace. He didn't set up a banquet to celebrate with her.

This result made Yun Ruo Yao feel quite disappointed for a while. However, it was already a blessing for her to be able to leave the Serenity Hall and temporarily keep her position.

She had to rely on the child in her womb to capture Yuchi Xuan's heart and defeat Yunruo.

In the next four or five days, Yun Ruo Yao was recuperating in the inner palace. Yun Ruo went to visit her, and left without saying too much.

What surprised Yun Ruo Lu was that Yun Ruo Yao did not take the opportunity to stir up trouble because she was pregnant. It was so quiet that it was incomprehensible.

However, Yun Ruo Yao did indeed need to be nurtured properly, because the child in Yun Ruo Yao's womb was only a part of Yun Ruo Lu's plan. In order to make the plan more successful, Yun Ruo Lu would occasionally send her some supplements.

After Yun Ruo Yao became pregnant, her body naturally became more delicate. Even Yuchi Xuan would find a rare moment to pay her a visit.

Although she didn't go every day, her attitude towards Yun Ruo Yao had changed. No matter what Yun Ruo Yao wanted, as long as she opened her mouth, there would be a maid respectfully sending it to her bedroom.

Scarlet Jade had left the Imperial Palace for close to ten days before she returned. During these ten days, the Imperial Palace had also become much quieter, which made Yun Ruo Lu feel very unaccustomed to it.

During this period of time, Yun Ruo Lu would spend some time in the backyard messing with the plants she grew, or playing with Xiangqing. Although the days were calm, there was always a vacant spot in her heart, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

It was noon today, and Yun Ruo Lu was taking a nap inside the hall. The summer noon was always hot and unbearably hot, causing people to feel inexplicably irritated.

While Yun Ruo Lu was taking a nap, she was enjoying the fan given to her by a palace maid.

After sleeping for about two hours, she woke up with a bowl of cold tea on the table.

When Yun Ruo Lu woke up, she smelled the refreshing fragrance of the cold tea, so all her attention was focused on the table not far away. She stood up and poured herself a cup, a familiar and nostalgic feeling filled her heart.

"Does the Empress sleep well?"

As Yun Ruo was immersed in that long-awaited nostalgia, a melodious voice rang from behind her.

"Jin'er!" Why are you back? "

Hearing the voice, Yun Ruo Lu excitedly turned around. She hadn't noticed that the person who fanned her to relieve the heat was Jin Se!

Jin Se was still dressed as a maid. The only difference was that her complexion was much redder than before.

Jin Se smiled sweetly at Yun Ruo Lu, and rushed up to hug her, saying coquettishly: "Jin'er misses the Empress, so he came back to see the Empress."

Yun Ruo Lu felt warmth in her heart. She pinched Jinsi's face and smiled, "You're already a wife of a general, how can you still be so ignorant?"

Seeing that Jinsi was still dressed as a palace maid, Yun Ruo Lu didn't know what to say.

She knew that in this world, it was only Jin'er who would not change her mind. No matter what happened, Jinsi would still be the little girl by her side.

Jin'er mischievously stuck out her tongue and smiled, "Jin'er was afraid that the mistress wouldn't get used to it, so she decided to go back to her previous appearance. Has the Empress forgotten? "Today is the day that Jin`er will return to the family, so Yun Jin brought Jin`er to the palace to visit the Empress."

Not only did she forget the Yuchi Kingdom's rule, Yun Ruo Lu also almost forgot that on the tenth day after her marriage, she would return to her parents' home.

Jin'er had no parents, and had followed Yun Ruo since childhood, so naturally, she returned to her family.

Yun Ruo Lu was naturally happy when she saw Jin Se. She pulled Jin Se's hand and they sat by the side, chatting merrily.

"Jin'er, come. Quickly tell me, did you have a good life at the general's estate? Did Yun Jin bully you?"

Yun Ruo Lu originally planned to leave the palace after a period of time to visit Jin Se. It was a rare encounter for her to return, so she naturally had a lot of things she wanted to say.

Jin Se smiled and replied shyly, "Empress, there is no need to worry. Yunjin treats Jin'er very well, and the people in the general's household are all very kind, so no one bullies Jin'er."

Hearing Jin'er's words, Yun Ruo Lu relaxed a bit. After all, Jin'er was someone who had married off her family, so she had to rely on herself for the rest of her life.

She had always been worried that Jin'er was too simple-minded and didn't have any scheming. If she did that, she would suffer a great loss.

"That's great. As long as you are well, I will be at ease."

"Hehe, don't worry esteemed wangfei, Yun Jin is teaching Jin'er martial arts, and Jin'er is diligently learning. Furthermore, even if Jin'er isn't by the side of the esteemed wangfei, Jin'er can still help the esteemed wangfei."

Jin Se spoke excitedly. When Yun Ruo Lu heard that there was something fishy, she nervously asked: "Jin'er, what do you mean by that? Could it be that Yun Jin told you about the mission that I gave him? "

She had given a task to Ke Yunjin. Jinsi knew a bit about this before, but Yun Ruo Lu had never let her participate. She was worried that Jinsha might be caught in this and be in danger.
