When Yun Ruo returned to Yuchi Imperial Palace, Yuchi Xuan was seated in front of his bed. Holding Lan'er's hand, Yun Ruo Lu could only temporarily disguise herself as a palace maid and hide outside.

Also, she was a little disguised, so it was not easy for people to recognize her.

Yun Ruo Lu felt that the experts outside the palace had all disappeared. She wasn't sure if it was because she was sick, but the guards around the palace had doubled in strength.

It seemed as though these experts were indeed meant to trap her. Only, what method did Lan`er use to make Yuchi Xuan think that she was sick?

Yun Ruo Lu pretended to be a palace maid guarding the entrance and stood by the door to listen to what was being said inside.

"Why aren't you awake yet? "How I wish for you to wake up soon! Although the imperial physician said that this is not an illness that requires medicinal pills and no treatment, you've been overworked. I really don't know what you've been thinking recently. Are you still thinking about the past?" Holding Yun Ruo Lu's hand, Yuchi Xuan said with some heartache.

Originally, those palace maids wouldn't have been able to hear what Yuchi Xuan was saying, but because of Yun Ruo's martial arts training, her hearing had become slightly sharper. She could vaguely hear what Yuchi Xuan was saying.

She could only sigh in her heart. It seemed as though Yuchi Xuan truly loved her, but the person she liked wasn't him. Perhaps she had once liked him, but all that had happened in the past was the past. She would change her mind and hope that Crown Prince Nanke could completely understand her. Even though she had yet to regain her memories, she knew very well that the things she had heard from Ling Xiao were enough to keep her away from Yuchi Xuan.

She could bear to be tortured forever by one person, or to be mocked by another. However, although Yun Ruo Lu was an assassin, she was an assassin with a cold exterior but a warm interior.

Not all assassins in the world are cold-blooded. Sometimes, they just disguise themselves as that. Yun Ruo Lu was a very loyal person. She could tolerate others treating her badly, but she could not bear for others to hurt the people around her.

Although she had no memories, she could understand that Yuchi Xuan had gone back on his words and almost killed Ling Xiao. She could also remember the person who had followed her to rob the treasury. If they were able to follow her for such a heinous crime and entrust their lives to her, how could she bear to have such a person in her life hurt her friends, even cut off one of Ling Xiao's hands, and kill everyone?

She couldn't, so she could understand why she hadn't chosen Yuchi Xuan. Perhaps at that time, their fates would have come to an end, or perhaps earlier, their fates would have ended.

But now, outside the door, she heard him say this, even though it wasn't her that was lying on the bed. She still felt that it was a pity. But this was just a pity. She didn't feel any heartache. She only felt that it was a pity that Yuchi Xuan, as a Sovereign King, had deeply fallen in love with her.

He wouldn't let go.

Yun Ruo Lu knew that he did all that he could to prevent her from regaining her memories, probably to keep her. But that still wasn't enough. If that was the case, she shouldn't have any hatred for Yuchi Xuan. But for some reason, when she saw Yuchi Xuan, she had a strange feeling in her heart.

Was it because Yuchi Xuan had locked up his loved one and tortured her every day? That shouldn't be the case. Even if her memory hadn't fully recovered, she still couldn't jump to such a conclusion.

Yuchi Xuan was still at the window, saying the words he had deeply loved to her. However, aside from the pity at the start, Yun Ruo Lu wasn't moved at all.

There was even a trace of hatred. Yes, hatred.

Yun Ruo listened to Yuchi Xuan nag on for half a day. Finally, he had matters to attend to in the country, so she left. Yun Ruo Lu quickly half-knelt, and then Yuchi Xuan walked past her, not noticing her.

After Yuchi Xuan left, she found an excuse to go in, but found that Lan`er suddenly opened her eyes and grabbed her hand. "I know you are listening outside. You must be very touched, right?" Lan Er said in a mocking tone.

Yun Ruo Lu shook her head.

"It seems you haven't forgotten how he killed the child in your womb." Lan'er's words were like a bomb dropped, blowing up Yun Ruo Lu's heart.

"Mine, child?" Although Yun Ruo Lu had lost her memory, her eyes filled with tears for some reason.

"Let's change clothes first, I'll tell you." Lan'er looked at Yun Luo and said.

Yun Ruo Lu nodded, and then Lan'er told her about how the empress had killed Yun Ruo Lu's child. Yun Ruo Lu touched her belly subconsciously.

Then she thought, so she still had a child. She died so early, so what about this child?

"But what does all this have to do with Yuchi Xuan?" Ran has always been the queen with her.

"It looks like you still don't remember the past. Do you think the emperor wouldn't know that the empress wanted to kill your child? Being able to hide it in the quilt without being discovered is an extremely special thing. This is a tribute given by the envoy of the Western Regions a few years ago, do you think that the Emperor would not know of the things that the Queen can freely use in the treasury? " Lan'er said.

"This …" Yun Ruo opened her eyes wide.

"As you know, that spice almost only hurts the child, and it's not too much damage to a pregnant woman, but it's only harmful to the child." Lan'er said.

Yun Ruo Lu's face was ashen. Her child, she had her hand on her stomach, so could this child also end up like the other child? She didn't want to do this!

Yun Ruo shook her head, suddenly feeling sad.

This child is the royal blood of the Southern Champion Kingdom, the flesh and blood of the crown prince. If this were the past, then he would have just watched your child die, because at that time, he thought that the crown prince had died. He should want you to give birth to this child, but this child might be the one he wants to use to threaten the Southern Champion. Do you know how to attack the Southern Champion without spending a single soldier? This is the truth of the matter. Your child was born, and the first person she killed was the crown prince. Now the crown prince is locked up by him.

It's not easy for him to control the Crown Prince, but isn't it possible for him to control a newborn child as well? " Lan'er continued to speak to her.

At this moment, Yun Ruo Lu's face was ashen. So that was the case! Had she lost her memory and gotten pregnant for him? If he deceived her into saying that the child was his, he would not be suspicious. Although she didn't know much about Yuchi Xuan, she could tell from how he almost killed Ling Xiao when he took up the post of Yuchi Emperor.

Yuchi Xuan would definitely not let the Crown Prince's child stay in the Imperial Palace safe and sound. Otherwise, his own child would be in danger.

Even though the empress had a child and was very ill, he was not allowed to visit her even if she was bedridden.

No one is allowed to visit? She thought of something.

"Lan'er, can you sneak into the empress's chambers and help me find out some news?" Yun Ruo Lu felt that Yun Ruo Yao had gotten sick at this moment and was not allowed to be visited. Could it be that she had said something that she shouldn't have said to her? They were not allowed to meet.

It seemed that although her elder sister had caused the death of her child, she still had a trace of conscience in her heart.

"Alright. I gave myself a kind of chronic poison. This kind of medicine does have an antidote, but after taking it, my body would become extremely weak. Otherwise, how could I deceive the imperial physician in the palace? "But this kind of antidote, the antidote won't fully recover in a day," Lan'er said.

Yun Ruo Lu nodded. The next day, Lan'er brought her shocking news. The empress wasn't sick, she just spent every day in the little Buddhist temple, eating and reciting scriptures.

Only to the outside world, she had an infectious disease.

As expected, Yuchi Xuan wanted to keep it a secret from the empress. However, he didn't care. There was still someone alive. That person was Lan'er. Furthermore, he would never know that Lan Er had this kind of strange martial arts. This was probably something that he would never even dream of.

To lose everything in one move...

Yun Ruo Lu felt that she was still considered lucky at this moment. Although she didn't recover her memories, she wasn't completely abandoned within the palace. The next step was to recover her memories.

Every day, she slowly adapted to the pain, so that her patience would get better and better. When it was about time, she tried to endure the pain and recall bits and pieces.

However, those scenes were extremely fragmented. For example, that day, she found out that she actually knew Ke Yunjin. She had a maid in the past, and her current best sister was called Jinsi.

But she could only remember so much. As for the details of what happened with her sister, she couldn't really remember everything.

But every time she recalled so much, it gave her a headache and her lips turned white.

"Where did the real Yu'er go? "Since when you were me, Yu'er was still that real Yu'er?" Yun Ruo Lu suddenly said.

"She has already returned to her hometown. From now on, I will accompany you." This is the first time Lan'er has chosen to use you freely for Yun Ruo. She doesn't know how Yun Ruo Lu feels every time she recalls the past, but every time she feels a headache coming on, she still respects her greatly.

She had gone through this suffering for the sake of Crown Prince Yingyu, so she was deeply impressed with her. She felt that she should be the wife of a benevolent Crown Prince. Only this woman was worthy of her master. Although her heart also had adoration for her master, she had always felt herself to be inferior.

Right now, she felt that her business was to protect Yun Ruo Lu and the child in her womb, even if it meant sacrificing her life. She felt that this was also a kind of love for her master. She had turned this love into a form of protection.

For the past few days, Yun Ruo Lu had been reminiscing about a few things. She recalled a corner. Today, as she was walking in the imperial garden, she bumped into Ke Yunjin who was leading a patrol team.

Ke Yunjin bowed to her, but she only lightly said, "General Ke is already the commander of the guards at such a young age. What do you think if I tell you about the marriage?" She was purposely testing Ke Yunjin.

He didn't expect that Ke Yunjin's face would immediately change when he heard this.
