Yuchi Xuan tossed the reports to the ground. It was the same in the imperial court today. The purpose of the court official submitting a letter was only for one thing, and that was — the Demon Consort!

It was unknown who spread the rumor in the imperial court that Yun Ruo You was the Demon Consort. The matter of sacrificing the heavens that day had finally calmed down a bit with great difficulty, and the news once again arose.

Everyone's memorial also only meant that the imperial harem could not hold this Demon Concubine. Some people even started to say that the old emperor had been killed by this demonic concubine, Red Calyx. They couldn't let the new emperor step into the future of the old emperor. This matter made him feel amused. He had previously planted a red calyx by the old emperor's side. Now, an official had come to send a letter to allow Yun Ruo Lu to leave him.

Yun Ruo Lu was the only one he wanted to stay in. As long as she was willing to stay in the harem, no matter what happened, he wouldn't let her leave. He was willing to share even this half of the river and mountain with her. What are these old things? At most, they would just be replaced!

The more Yuchi Xuan thought about it, the angrier he became. Walking in the imperial garden, his expression was extremely unsightly. At this moment, he saw Lan Yun hurrying over.

"Your Majesty …" Lan Yun's tone was heavy as though she was in a hurry for something.

"My liege, why are you in such a hurry?" Yuchi Xuan asked.

"Your majesty, this humble subject has discovered that one of the medicinal ingredients is missing from the process of refining the pill. However, this medicinal ingredient is also extremely difficult to find." he said loudly.

"What kind of medicinal herb?" Yuchi Xuan asked.

"It's the Snow Mountain Immortal Grass." Lan Yun said.

Immortal grass! This was a type of grass that grew in the snowy mountains of Mongolia. It would only grow out after many years, and even if it grew out, it might not be able to grow back.

"You mean, you actually used an Immortal grass?" "Then I shall order people to gather them." Yuchi Xuan believed that pill refining was a major event.

"Your majesty, I'm afraid ordinary people don't know the exact location of this immortal herb. Although this subject entered the palace not long ago, I've heard that Imperial Concubine has once gathered immortal grass for the late emperor. I wonder if I can ask Imperial Concubine to gather it for him?" Lan Yun said.

"Impudent!" "Imperial Concubine's body is made of gold. How could she work so hard for a small piece of immortal grass …" Yuchi Xuan didn't want Yun Ruo Lu to leave the palace.

"Your majesty, let me gather them." As Yun Ruo Lu passed by, she happened to overhear their conversation. She and Lan Er immediately followed.

Yuchi Xuan pondered for a moment. Perhaps letting her leave the palace for a while was the best choice. However, what if she ran off and didn't come back? Normally, he knew that she would leave the palace, but he didn't send anyone to stop her because he knew that even if she could leave the palace, she wouldn't be able to leave the capital. He had already told the city guards that if she had to return and report, he would personally chase her back no matter what.

In addition, since she had fled, given how large the Yuchi Kingdom was, he was confident that she wouldn't be able to escape. However, going to Mongolia was hard to say. Mongolia was no longer within the borders of the Yuchi Kingdom. If she did not return, that would be the worst thing that could happen!

Yun Ruo Lu naturally knew what Yuchi Xuan was thinking about, but she wanted to gamble on whether he was willing to let her stay in the palace or whether he wanted her to temporarily stay out of the limelight. She knew that now was not the reason; the imperial court had plenty of reports saying that she was the Demon Consort.

This was the easiest time for Yuchi Xuan to waver. He could let her go, or let her stay, or just kill her! If he killed her, he would become the greatest emperor in all of history.

It had achieved the reputation of a good emperor that was not bewitched by the Demon Concubine.

Since my beloved concubine has such a mind, then my beloved concubine shall go. However, I'm afraid that Princess Xiangqing will be lonely by herself, so I'll have General Ke's wife come to the palace to accompany her. When she comes back, she'll be able to accompany Princess Xiangqing. Yuchi Xuan laughed.

At this moment, Yun Ruo Man was feeling extremely uncomfortable. However, she did not express anything. Instead, she said to Yuchi Xuan, "Then I'll have to thank Your Imperial Majesty …"

Yuchi Xuan was simply too despicable. He actually used the brocade brocade to threaten him. His intention was clear; if she didn't return, she would immediately kill Jinsi and Xiangqing.

Fortunately, Yun Ruo Lu didn't plan on running away at this time. She hadn't even 'started' the good show yet, so how could she leave? Otherwise, wouldn't all his efforts have been in vain?

"Yo, I heard you're going to Mongolia …" Scarlet Jade appeared out of nowhere.

"This has nothing to do with you …" Yun Ruo You was originally angry, and this really had nothing to do with Chiyu.

"No matter what, it has nothing to do with me. I also want to go to Mongolia." he said.

Yun Ruo Lu continued to walk forward and ignored him. If she continued to ignore him, then she would really fall in love with him.

"Don't leave! We may have walked the same path, but how can you have this sort of attitude towards me? I only love you." Chiyu kept up with Yun Ruo Lu's footsteps as she said to her.

"No matter how many people you love, it has nothing to do with me. Well, I'm going to Mongolia tomorrow morning, so I think it's time for me to take a good rest." Yun Ruo Lu felt it was necessary to keep her distance from this person.

It wasn't easy for her to get rid of the scarlet jade, but she didn't have the rest that she had said she would. She was preparing something. She had prepared poisons, healing medicine, and some emergency medicine. Of course, there were also many hidden weapons, so she felt that the journey to Inner Mongolia would be very dangerous.

The horses in the prairie were the best. No matter how good the horses in the Yuchi Kingdom were, they were still better than those in the prairie. Not only did she have soldiers, she also needed horses. Even though it wasn't a battlefield, it was no joke.

So she was going to Inner Mongolia to buy horses!

It was said that there was a type of horse over there called the Ferghana Horse. Its entire body was covered in red, and its sweat was tinged with red. It was the best of the best among all horses. If he could get some of these horses back, then it would be an additional safeguard for his future.

After thinking about everything, she could completely guess who spread this rumor, saying that she was the Demon Concubine. To be able to stir up so many court officials in the imperial court was naturally the Prime Minister.

That was her good father, and the reason why he did that was naturally for her good elder sister Yun Ruo Yao.

After all, her father trusted her sister more and didn't care about her at all. He even felt that her existence was a threat to him.

That was why she listened to Yun Ruo Yao and killed her. Yun Ruo could figure this out, but Yuchi Xuan couldn't. He was only going to investigate and figure out what was going on.

He wouldn't have thought that Yun Ruo Lu's father wanted his own daughter to die. Yun Ruo Lu did not feel anything, and she quickly understood this point.

However, who could stop her from doing what she wanted to do?

The next day, she set off on her journey. Of course, Lan Yun wouldn't be able to make it in time. The ones who came were some of the experts called by Yuchi Xuan and Lan'er.

However, just as they were about to leave the capital, they arrived at a forest. Something was wrong with their surroundings. Actually, Yun Ruo Lu had always felt that there were people following them along the way. If she wasn't mistaken, they should be assassins sent by Yun Ruyao. She wanted to get to know him directly on the way. Normally when she was in the Imperial Palace, she wouldn't be able to find any opportunity to make a move.

But here, even if she died on the way, no one would know it was Yun Ruo Yao.

Sure enough, a large group of men in black appeared in front of them. But Yuchi Xuan only had six bodyguards who had come to protect her, even though the imperial palace could be considered a top tier expert. But how could the person the empress had sent for be a mouse? Each of them had good martial arts as well, and there were even more people.

Twenty or so people suddenly appeared around them. Their bodies emitted murderous auras. They were most likely well-trained assassins.

The surrounding guards desperately tried to protect her, but after fighting for a short period of time, they were all severely injured and fell to the ground.

The opponents had lost a few assassins, but the remaining dozen or so assassins thought they could kill Yun Ruo Lu.

Yun Ruo Lu knew that if these assassins didn't kill her, they wouldn't go back, so she said to Lan'er: "Lan'er, you should know martial arts, right?"

Ran nodded.

"Alright then, you just have to protect yourself." Yun Ruo Lu took a deep breath, it would be difficult for her to deal with these top assassins alone.

However, if she did not go all out, it would mean her death.

Therefore, she would risk her life to survive.

Finally, the other side couldn't take it anymore and started to attack. She waved her hand and shot three killers with a hidden weapon. All of her hidden weapons were poisoned, the kind that would cause a person's throat to be sealed with blood.

Those assassins knew that Yun Ruo You had this kind of weapon and didn't dare to move forward, but that didn't mean that they would run away. They quickly jumped onto the tree and sprinkled a layer of strange powder.

However, she was wrong, this powder was not a poison, nor was it a knockout drug. It was just an ordinary powder, it was just like a powder that would easily float into the eyes, if it entered the eyes, then it would temporarily go blind.

This was a common tactic used by these assassins to deal with people with superior kung fu skills. However, Yun Ruo Lu did not know that and only thought that it was knockout drugs.

As expected, her eyes were temporarily blind. Lan'er had never met such a killer before, and her eyes were temporarily blind as well.

"Kill her first." The assassin pointed at Yun Ruo You and said.

A large group of killers rushed up, but although Yun Ruo Lu was blind, her hearing was unusually sharp. She was also a killer in her previous life, but she had trained assassins in the dark.

She fired another projectile, and another one died not far from her, and the killer was trying to get close to her and kill her.

The group of assassins were stunned. At first, they just thought that Yun Ruo Lu was lucky and the assassins kept charging forward, but they were all killed by her.

When the leader of the assassins saw this, he thought for a while before saying, "She can hear me. One group of people pick up the branches on the ground and hit the tree trunk. The other group go kill her …"

The leader of the assassins was smart.
