Yun Ruo Lu quietly thought in her heart with a serious expression. Buying weapons in private wasn't a good thing. Could it be that others were like them, scheming against the Yuchi Kingdom?

"Who used to supply us with weapons?"

Yun Ruo Lu thought about it for a while before she continued to ask. This matter wasn't simple, she might need to personally take part in it.

"There are three families, the Embroidery Villa, the Mo Family, and the Yan Family. They are quite reliable."

Ke Yunjin answered without hesitation. He and Yunruo knew very well that when Yuchi Chen was present, the weapons that he had ordered had all been found by them.

These three large families all had their own underground military base, and their influence couldn't be underestimated.

Yun Ruo knew that not only had Yuchi Chen asked them for weapons, but Yuchi Xuan had also asked them for a lot of help.

"I understand. Yunjin, make some arrangements tonight. I would like to personally make a trip to the Embroidery Villa."

"The Empress wants to personally go?" Would it...? "

"Yes!" It's best if we don't trouble the Empress to personally take action for such a small matter. This is too dangerous. "

Hearing Yun Ruo saying that she was going to personally go, Ke Yunjin and Jinsi's reactions were quite intense. If he didn't mention the palace first, he would be in deep trouble. If he were to be discovered again, his head would fall off.

"Don't worry, I have my ways. Yun Jin, what you need to do is to help me contact the people from the Embroidery Villa first and inform them of the time and let them prepare. "

Yun Ruo Lu was not worried about leaving the palace. Since Yan Feng was guarding the south gate, it was naturally not a difficult task for him to leave. Back then, she had sent Yan Feng to guard the palace door for the sake of making it easier for him to enter and leave the Imperial Palace.

Ke Yunjin nodded and agreed, "Since the Empress has already decided, Yunjin will go back to prepare. After dark, this subject will send someone to pick up the Empress outside the palace gate. "

"Good!" It's getting late, you guys should also leave the palace! "

Yun Ruo glanced at the sky; it was getting late. If she were to go to the Embroidery Villa that night, she should be preparing for it by now.

Getting out of the palace wasn't a difficult thing for her. The hard part was avoiding Yuchi Xuan's eyes, so that he wouldn't notice her.

However, she reckoned that if Yuchi Xuanxuan really went to Yun Ruo Yao's place, he would not be able to leave tonight, so she could be at ease.

However, Yuchi Xuan's hidden guards were a problem that gave her a headache.

On the way back to Yun Ruo's chamber, he coincidentally bumped into the scarlet jade that he hadn't seen for a long time.

After not seeing him for a long time, he still had a graceful bearing and a very relaxed appearance.

Yun Ruo Man didn't know if Chiyu was intentionally avoiding her during this period of time, or what was going on. She felt that she had become more distant, so even if she saw him, she didn't greet him.

But as she passed by Scarlet Yu, she suddenly called out to her, "Where does the Empress want to go so urgently?"

Seeing that Yun Ruo Man had turned a blind eye to her, Chi Yu could only take the initiative to ask.

Yun Ruo Lu did not know why, but she actually stopped when she heard Scarlet Jade's voice.

After thinking for a long time, Yun Ruo Lu turned around and looked straight at Chi Yu. She asked with her brows furrowed: "You left the palace for so many days, where did you go? What did you do? "

"What?"

Chi Yu looked at Yun Ruo Lu with a strange expression, as if he didn't expect her to ask such questions. He then laughed lightly and teased: "What's wrong? Could it be that the Empress misses this one? "

"I'm not in the mood to joke around with you. Don't think that I'm not clear about this. Did you buy a weapon after leaving the palace?"

Earlier, when Ke Yunjin said that someone was going against them, she suspected that it was Scarlet Jade. Because the purpose of this trip to Yuchi Kingdom from the Southern Champion Kingdom was not simple, it was very common for scarlet jade to buy weapons during this period of time.

Chiyu hesitated for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing, but when she spoke, she lowered her voice and said, "Is the Empress admitting defeat? If the Empress did not have that sort of thought, why would she care about the matter of the weapon? "

"You! Could it really be you?! "

Although both she and Scarlet were going against Yuchi Xuan, their goals were different. She wouldn't think they were on the same side, and she definitely wouldn't tolerate Red Jade doing something that would harm the country of Yuchi.

"Is it me or is the Empress unable to investigate?" "But why don't you think about it, our Southern Champion Kingdom has plenty of weapons, so why would we take the risk to come to Yuchi Kingdom to purchase them?"

Scarlet Jade's simple words immediately dispelled Yun Ruo Lu's doubts.

He was right, even if the Southern Champion Kingdom had a rebellious heart, it would not be so brazen as to purchase weapons in the Yuchi Kingdom, not to mention that this was the Yuchi Kingdom's territory.

Although the Mo and Yan Families forged weapons in private in the Embroidery Villa, they were still righteous people. They would never do something like selling their country to their enemies.

It seemed that she had indeed overthought things. However, if it wasn't for Scarlet Jade, who on earth had such a great power and wealth that the three great families were willing to work for him?

"Looks like the Empress is very worried about this matter. May I ask if there is anything I can help you with?"

Seeing that Yun Ruo Lu was in a difficult situation, Chi Yu acted like he was very magnanimous, indicating that even if you suspect me, I only believe that you are not sincere.

Yun Ruo Lu did not want Scarlet Yu to interfere in her affairs, so she naturally did not agree, and resolutely replied: "No need!"

"You're welcome!"

Chiyu shamelessly pestered Yun Ruo Lu, as if she wouldn't rest until she reached her goal.

"I don't have time to waste here with you!"

It was already late in the morning, so she had to find a way to leave the palace.

"Hehe, the Empress wants to leave the palace to investigate this matter. Without this one's help, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to do so."

Scarlet Jade looked as if she understood the meaning behind his words. Yun Ruo You was surprised, and asked in surprise: "How did you know?"

She had just decided to leave the palace, and other than her, Yun Jin and Jin, no one else knew about this fourth person. Unless this Red Jade had the same ability to see through the hearts of people and foresee the future.

Scarlet Jade originally wanted to remain mysterious, but in order to gain Yun Ruo Lu's trust, she could only honestly reply, "Actually, I was hiding behind the fake mountain over there the whole time, so I accidentally overheard the Empress's conversation."

Yun Ruo Lu followed the direction that Chi Yu was pointing at and looked at the fake mountain in the distance. It was about ten meters away.

Although this distance wasn't too far, when she and Yun Jin were talking, her voice was very soft. Hiding behind the fake mountain, it was impossible to hear what they were talking about. Unless...

Yun Ruo Lu suddenly thought of something, and looked at Scarlet Jade in astonishment. Her eyes were filled with astonishment as she asked, "Who exactly are you?"

Yun Ruo Lu was surprised because she knew that there was another way to eavesdrop on their conversation, and that was to talk to someone who understood words.

And when Scarlet Jade replied, it was because she had seen their conversation, not because she had heard it. This clearly showed that she was an expert in lip-reading.

Although she didn't know if there was anyone in this era with an empty history who understood lip-talking, she had once taught Jin'er lip-talking and venomous speech at the palace. At that time, she had even made a ruckus at the palace.

Chi Yu did not immediately answer Yun Ruo Lu's question, but instead asked with a pretty smile: "Is who I am really that important? Didn't you already know my identity? I am the heir to the Southern Champion Kingdom, don't tell me you also have to doubt this point? "

"Humph!" Don't think that you can get away with it just by smiling coquettishly with me! "

Yun Ruo Lu said snappily, she became even more wary of Chi Yu.

"Okay, then let's get down to business. Tonight, I will help you leave the palace, but you must take down the Embroidery Villa. Let the owner of the villa agree to give you your weapon."

"Heh, why should I cooperate with you?"

Even if she didn't have the scarlet jade, she would still have a way to leave the palace, so there wasn't enough reason for her to not want to work for someone else.

"Because we're the same people!"

Scarlet Jade replied without the slightest hesitation. Moreover, her answer was unquestionable, making it impossible for others to doubt her.

Yun Ruo You endured the anger in his heart, telling himself that it was better to not put up with it. If Scarlet Jade really had a good idea, it wouldn't be enough to make use of him.

And her purpose for going to the Embroidery Villa tonight was to take over the Villa and have the Villa Master agree to sell her the weapons.

"Do you have any good ideas?" "Let's hear it first?"

Yun Ruo Lu gave up on bickering with Chi Yu and chose to work with him.

The corner of her lips curled up in satisfaction. With a hint of self-confidence and a mischievous smile, it instantly gave Yun Ruo Lu an indescribably familiar feeling.

This was not the first time she felt such a sense of familiarity. It was just that she could not remember where this strange familiarity came from, and who exactly was the person she was familiar with?

"This is not the place to speak. The Empress will first return and prepare. Later, I will come down to find the Empress, and then we will discuss this matter in detail."

Scarlet Yu looked around, indicating that this place was no longer safe.

Yun Ruo nodded her head in agreement, and left after saying some irrelevant words to disrupt the hearing process.

Returning to her bedroom, Yun Ruo counted the banknotes that she had secretly saved and then brought some medicine into the bag. After everything was prepared, the sky had already darkened.

The palace maid that I invited back to report that the Emperor stayed in the Middle Palace tonight. Yun Ruo's heart, which had been hanging in the air, calmed down.

After waiting for around an incense stick of time, Scarlet Jade flew down from the roof, dressed in night clothes.

Yun Ruo Lu had already changed her clothes and told the court lady outside that she was unwell and that no one was allowed to come in to disturb her.

Scarlet Jade gestured and asked Yun Ruo Man if she was ready. After obtaining a certain amount of recovery, he then brought Yun Ruo Lu out from the bedroom on top of the roof.

Yun Ruo followed behind Chi Yu. She had to admit, Chi Yu's familiarity with the palace definitely surpassed hers.
