However, life was not just that. Yun Ruo You lived in the residence but was not grounded. The two little kids were not brought here by Yuchi Chen.

It was said that Yuchi Chen had taken them to see the daughters of the other ministers who were staying at the palace. Just as Yun Ruo Lu was about to walk around the imperial garden, she saw Yun'er and Yue'er playing hide and seek with these people.

They were blindfolded, and then the voices of the women came from all around them. They told Yun'er and Yue'er to come and capture them. Yun Ruo Lu did not want to walk over, so she looked at them from under a Violet Vine Flower. The flower was very lush and its branches drooped down, almost covering Yun Ruo Lu, but she could see what they were doing through the gaps between the branches.

Yun'er and Yue'er seemed to be having fun. Yun Ruo Lu had thought that the people in the palace wouldn't dare to offend them because they were princesses. It seemed as though Yuchi Chen still doted heavily on her daughter.

However, the more Yun Ruo saw from behind, the more she felt something was amiss. There was a pond in the palace. If an adult were to fall into it, they would naturally not do anything, because the pond wasn't too deep. About a meter tall. However, Yun'er and Yue'er were two and a half year old children. If they were to fall, something would definitely happen.

Moreover, a two year old child could not afford to drown. Their lungs had yet to fully develop and their time in the water was shorter than an adult's.

At this moment, the group of women seemed to have a tacit understanding, luring Yun'er and Yue'er to the side of the pond. The two little fellows were blindfolded, so they naturally couldn't see anything.

One of the women purposely walked to the edge of the pond, but she didn't fall down, instead carefully walking past the pond.

But how could Yun'er and Yue'er know? They only thought that the person they were going to capture was in front, so they ran towards the pond.

Yun Ruo Lu felt that something was wrong. She was still a distance away from them. She quickly flew across the water surface and caught Yue Er just as she was about to step into the pond. Then, with her other hand, she pulled Yun'er, who was standing by the pond.

Then put them down.

"Mother." Yue'er shouted out happily as she removed the strip of cloth covering her eyes.

When Yun'er heard Yue'er's shout, she also removed the strip of cloth from her eyes.

"How do you play by the water?" Yun Ruo Lu smiled at them, her expression filled with endless gentleness.

"Mother, let our sisters play hide and seek with us." Yue Er continued.

"Understood, can I play with you next time?" It's very dangerous to have water here. Next time, mother will bring you guys to the courtyard to play. There will be many beautiful flowers there. " Yun Ruo Lu smiled again as she spoke to the two little fellows.

"Mm. Alright." The two little fellows nodded.

"Alright, it's time for dinner. Mother will call someone to lead you over first. Mother has something to say to these big sisters. We'll go over later."

Then Yun Ruo Lu called for two maids from other places and they were taken away.

Yun Ruo Lu watched Yun'er and Yue'er walk away, then her eyes instantly turned ice-cold. It was as if the gentle smile just now had never appeared.

She turned her head to look at the court ladies and said, "I saw what happened just now." she said coldly.

"What exactly is going on? We were just playing hide and seek with the Canton Princess. " one of them said.

"Is that so?" Yun Ruo Lu suddenly grabbed onto the girl that had lured Yue Er. Her speed was extremely fast, and not a single person within the group saw clearly how she did it.

"What are you doing!?" Do you want to kill people in this palace? " It was the same woman who had spoken earlier.

"Killed people? I just want to tell you guys that you know what you just did. If the next time I hear that the young prefectures are missing a hair, you guys can ask your fathers to come and collect your corpses! " After saying that, Yun Ruo Lu swung with force and pushed the woman into the pond with one hand.

Then, Yun Ruo Lu left.

The dragon had a reverse scale, and Yun Ruo Lu's reverse scale was her child. She definitely wouldn't allow any of these palace women to touch a hair on Yun'er and Yue'er.

Otherwise, she really couldn't guarantee that she would kill all these women in one breath! An ice-cold killing intent spread from her body. She didn't come here to be a target for these women!

"Tsk, what's so great about that. In the future, once I become Her Highness's concubine, I'll definitely kill her, as well as her two daughters!" It was still the same woman who had spoken just now.

"Hurry and get up. The water in this pond isn't deep, so I won't drown you!" she shouted.

However, the woman who fell into the pond just now did not react.

Then the water turned red and the woman died in the pond. Yun Ruo Lu wouldn't allow this woman to bully Yun Er and Yue Er. That woman didn't even let her children go. When she threw her down, she quickly took out a small dagger and stabbed her.

On the second day, Yuchi Chen arrived at Yun Ruo Lu's residence.

"Come out and explain to me what exactly happened! "Women!" Yuchi Chen walked in.

"Your Highness is free to come early this morning. Don't you need to take care of the country's affairs?" Yun Ruo said plainly.

"Deal with national affairs? You've already killed Chen Shangshu's daughter and you're still saying that you're going to take care of national affairs? I, yesterday, did you push his daughter into the water? "

"Yes." Yun Ruo Lu did not deny it.

"Then why did you stab her? Kill her! " Yuchi Chen continued.

"Stabbing with a blade? "I didn't do that. It was just that she almost made Yun'er and Yue'er fall into the water, and I just happened to push her a little. As for the stab, I really didn't know." Yun Ruo Lu purposely did not choke that woman to death on the spot. She would not kill anyone in front of everyone's eyes.

This was the best place for a killer. Even if she took out her dagger, did anyone else see it? Since she wasn't seen, of course she couldn't be sure that she had killed him.

"If you don't believe me, go and ask the other palace maids." Initially, Yun Ruo Lu had called a lot of palace maids to testify for her.

She did not take out her dagger. How was she going to kill that minister's daughter?

As expected, Yuchi Chen remained silent for a long while before turning around. Actually, when he came that day, he had already seen everything clearly. It was just that he arrived later than Yun Ruo and witnessed everything. Others didn't see Yun Ruo Man take out her dagger, but it was impossible for him to not see it.

At that time, he also hated that group of women. He didn't let go of a child this young, a child who was only two years old and was his flesh and blood. How could such a woman enter the palace to be a concubine? He didn't want the harem to be without a child.

Right now, it was precisely because of the palace battle that the Emperor of the Southern Champion Kingdom did not have a single child. The old emperor's face was filled with regret, as he didn't want to do this.

In truth, he was very much in favor of Yun Ruo Lu's actions, but she had to excuse herself. After all, she had killed the Minister's daughter. However, no one saw her take out the dagger, which meant that she didn't kill anyone.

Therefore, Yuchi Chen had finally persuaded those old officials that his daughter might have been killed by an extremely powerful assassin without anyone noticing.

In short, he completely pushed this matter away from Yun Ruo Lu.

On the other hand, Yun Ruo Lu held her two daughters and played with them in the courtyard, catching chickens and hawks with great pleasure. However, at this time, a group of women walked into Yun Luo's residence.

The one in the lead was the woman who had been talking by the pond the other day. When she saw Yun Ruo Lu, she said, "The sisters have missed the young prefectures, so they came to take a look and brought a lot of delicious food."

Only after Yun Ruo Lang had informed Purple Cloud Pavilion of the spies planted in the palace did she find out that this person was the daughter of the Prime Minister of the Southern Champion Kingdom. She heard that this Prime Minister of the Southern Champion Kingdom had a son and a daughter.

In the days when Yuchi Chen had disappeared from the Yuchi Kingdom, the Prime Minister had brought his old subjects to the old Emperor's door, hoping that he would meet with him and tell him who he wanted to hand over the throne to.

The old Emperor of the Southern Champion Country no longer had any descendants. If it were to be spread around, eighty percent of it would be passed to those with high authority in the imperial court. Of course, this person had no one else other than the Prime Minister.

However, he was stopped by Ling Xiao outside the door. Yun Ruo thought that if Ling Xiao let him in, he might even be able to force the old Emperor to change the testamentary edict.

Unexpectedly, he actually allowed his daughter to enter the palace. He probably wanted her to marry Yuchi Chen so that he could consolidate his position within the court.

Yuchi Chen did not like him very much.

That was why this woman was called Hongxiu, Yao Hongxiu, Prime Minister Yao's daughter.

"There's no need to stand on ceremony. Go back." Yun Ruo Lu said coldly.

"How can Sister chase us away? All of us have come with good intentions to see the young prefecture lord. " Yao Hongxiu continued.

"I will count to three. If you don't leave now, like you suddenly have a throwing knife stabbed in your chest, don't blame me for this, I seem to want to kill a lot of people in the palace recently. If the throwing knife were to accidentally fly wrong and end up with any of you, as a weak woman, I won't be able to do anything about it." Yun Ruo Lu pretended to be pitiful.

Those women naturally didn't see Yun Ruo Lu's dagger last time. Yao Hong Xiu looked at her surroundings and then left with the group of women.

Yuchi Chen walked in after a while. Actually, he had been listening outside the whole time, but he found it funny that this woman had called him a weak girl.

This woman's kung fu was so high that even ten assassins wouldn't be able to kill her. Was she going to be killed by her or was it just a matter of time? She was afraid that the killer had come to kill her. She should be worried that it was the killer himself.

"Are you here for a meal or to see your daughter? If you are here to speak up for those women, then you can leave now." Yun Ruo Lu said to Yuchi Chen.

"To see my daughter, of course, and to have a meal. The man took out all the things the women had brought and threw them away. "Father will bring you something even better in a bit. Yun'er, remember, in the future, other than your mother, do not eat anything else that women give you." Yuchi Chen said to them in a low voice.

Yun Ruo Lu couldn't hold back her laughter. Her smile was very pretty, causing Yuchi Chen's heart to palpitate. He had never experienced this kind of feeling before. This woman was extremely special to him. In the past few days, he had left her at the Imperial Palace, unknowingly paying more attention to her. Even he didn't know what was going on. He felt that this woman seemed to have some sort of magic, and he couldn't help but be attracted to her.
