"No, I've escaped now. I'm confident I can get the Purple Cloud Pavilion back." Right now, Yuchi Xuan was only controlling Lin Yue. But so what? Lin Yue was the one in charge of the Purple Cloud Pavilion.

There was a top secret location in the Purple Cloud Pavilion that held the names of all the spies of the Purple Cloud Pavilion and a portrait of them. However, Yuchi Xuan was unable to open that door. That mechanism required a longevity lock on Yue'er's body to open. Furthermore, it required two pieces to be assembled together.

However, Yuchi Xuan would not know that the keyhole design on the surface was only a smokescreen. It had been personally designed by Yun Ruo Lu herself.

How could she have designed such a high-class place to just let the key lock in? Now that Yun'er and Yue'er were in Lan Yun's hands, she wanted to gamble. If Lan Yun continued to betray her, it would mean that she had truly trusted the wrong person.

She gave her two children to Lan Yun because she had no other choice.

The group of people changed to another hiding place all of a sudden, and Yun Ruo Lu suddenly felt much more relaxed.

The child is safe for the time being.

"Miss, what are you planning to do?" Jenser asked his young lady.

"Didn't Jinsi say not to call me 'Miss'? "Call me Luoshen." Yun Ruo smiled.

"Mm, Ruo Lu." Jinxiu said.

"Have you heard anything about Yuchi Chen's whereabouts? He should be here by now, right?" Yun Ruo asked leisurely.

"He did come, but we did not inquire further. However, he contacted me, and he came alone. He only brought along a few experts from the Blue Judgement." Ke Yunjin said.

"Are you going to help him or Yuchi." Yun Ruo Lu's expression was extremely solemn. She knew that this was his trump card, and that was the condition of Yuchi Xuan and Yuchi Chen's visit.

"I will help Yuchi Chen, but he must promise not to bring anyone to attack Yuchi Kingdom. I did not promise Yuchi Xuan to attack the Southern Champion Kingdom because I did not want to harm the people of the Southern Champion Kingdom, but if he wanted to bring someone to attack Yuchi, then I can only say that I will go back and be my great general. Our Ke Clan has been born to protect the Yuchi Kingdom for generations." Ke Yunjin's hostage said.

Jin Se did not say much as she knew she could not persuade him.

Yun Ruo Lu also knew that Ke Yunjin was a true man. He had carried out his own convictions. Even if Yuchi Xuan had forced his family, he would not remain indifferent when other countries came to attack Yuchi. He was born to lead troops into war, and that was the duty of a general.

"All you need to do is save Yuchi Chen, he's on his own this time. I'm afraid that Yuchi Xuan will harm him. " Yun Ruo Lu knew and said to Ke Yunjin.

"Alright, I'll agree to what you said." Ke Yunjin said.

"But you have to help me prepare something." Yun Ruo Lu had been living in the wilderness for the past few days, but she needed to make some sulphur and other things. She wanted to make explosives, and now that all her hidden weapons were gone, she could make explosives.

As long as there was a formula for this sort of thing, it would be fine.

This item was extremely powerful. No matter what, Yuchi Xuan would not let him leave this place alive. He would definitely lay in ambush, so he had to make use of this opportunity.

She wanted to make more explosives.

"Miss, are you sure you want to bring it back to the Purple Cloud Pavilion?" Jinsi felt that it was very dangerous for Wanru to go alone.

"It's enough for me alone." Yun Ruo smiled.

Of course, she wasn't the only one who could do that. Now that Lin Yue was under Yuchi Xuan's control, it was most likely that Yuchi Xuan had taken the life of that chivalrous hero as a threat.

Because Lin Yue wasn't an ordinary woman, she couldn't pass this word 'love'.

Therefore, Yun Ruo Lu decided to save that Hero by herself and let her be a Hero for once, she thought to herself.

She was given a large bag full of explosives.

That chivalrous hero was locked up in the capital's Shuntian Prefecture, where he guarded the Buddhist Sangha. It was said that the structure of the interior was very unique, especially that of the cells, which seemed like an underground labyrinth.

Therefore, Yun Ruo Lu felt that the most direct method was to blow up the cell. No matter how unique the underground cell was, she would first blow up a hole before doing anything else.

Thus, every day, she would disguise herself as a different old person, a girl, and a beggar.

She sent a lot of fresh vegetables to the back kitchen.

Then she put the explosives where she needed them. One night, when the flames suddenly shot up into the sky, Shuntian Manor actually exploded.

But it was night, and of course no one was on duty except the guards. She also buried the explosives in a place where there weren't many people. After all, her goal was to cause a sensation, not to kill those people.

It was indeed a sensation. Not only did it stir up a commotion, the entire dungeon was also in chaos. No one knew why, but Yun Ruo Lu took advantage of the chaos to rescue the chivalrous hero.

"Thank you for saving me, Miss." That person was rather courteous, "I'm Yao Hongfei." he said.

"Yao Hongfei? Is your sister Yao Hongxiu, the son of Prime Minister Yao? " Yun Ruo Lu suddenly realized something.

"How do you know?" "However, I haven't been home for several years. I actually heard news of my sister's death." He spoke in a somewhat dejected tone.

This was why he had come to assassinate Emperor Yuchi.

Of course, Yun Ruo Lu had already guessed what would happen in the future. He was the one controlling Lin Yue with Yao Hong Fei, and in the end Yun Ruo Lu was going to pay the Purple Cloud Pavilion and almost lose two cute kids?

The first thing Yun Ruo You did after escaping with Yao Hong Xiu was to knock him out and tie him up. He then called for Lin Yue, bringing him away and telling him not to take revenge anymore.

Lin Yue nodded her head and returned the Purple Cloud Pavilion back to Yun Ruo Lu. This way, Yun Ruo Lu had a little more chips left.

The situation had changed for the better. However, if Yun Ran felt that this was not enough, Yuchi Chen would still be in danger.

She had to see Yuchi Chen for the current situation, but there was no news of her at all. It was extremely strange. Even the Violet Cloud Pavilion was unable to pinpoint Yuchi Chen's whereabouts, they only knew that he had arrived at Yuchi Kingdom.

The more she did not hear from Yuchi Chen, the less confident she felt in her heart. One day later, the rumor finally spread that the Crown Prince of the Southern Champion Kingdom had been captured.

This caused Yun Ruo Lu to be flustered; she was going to the Sky Prison to confirm about this matter. Thus, she snuck into the palace and prepared to visit the Sky Prison. However, when she disguised herself to enter, she was caught.

That person was not Yuchi Chen. Yun Ruo knew she had been tricked.

"Forget it, there's no need to arrange for you to stay outside the palace. Bring the empress and the little prince back." Yuchi Xuan suddenly said.

Yun Ruo wasn't grounded in the palace, but she was fed a poison. This poison was specially concocted by Yuchi Xuan's lover.

He had to get the antidote on time. The time limit was three days, so Yun Ruo Lu had to appear in front of Yuchi Xuan every day. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to get the antidote on the third day. The symptoms of this poison were three stages, one was known as the Twin Heavens of Ice and Fire, and the symptoms were naturally the same as the name, one was cold, one was hot, and the second was an unbearable pain, followed by death.

On the third day, Yun Ruo and she did not ask Yuchi Xuan for the antidote. She endured the pain from the antidote, but every time she reached the most painful moment after the ice and fire tribulations, Yuchi Xuan would appear and give her the antidote.

He didn't want her to die. He just wanted her to remember the pain.

Helpless, Yun Ruo Lu could only stay in the palace.

In this way, no one would be able to provide any information to Yuchi Chen. He wanted to see where Yuchi Chen could hide.

Yun Ruo and her companion knew that this was an even more painful torment than this. Yuchi Xuan had truly done many things in order to make her stay. She chuckled as she waited for Yuchi Chen in the palace. She did not wish for him to appear, but she knew he would.

She had been locked in the palace for several days. She had heard that the little prince had been taken away so that he wouldn't be caught in the middle of the war. Yun Ruo knew that Yuchi Xuan was already mentally prepared for this upcoming battle. Yuchi Chen had always been a threat to Yuchi Xuan. The fact that Yuchi Xuan had been able to take the throne was a result of his scheming.

His shrewdness was deep, which was why when he was still the Third Marquis, he had disguised himself as the Third Marquis, using the silver taels he had obtained from the treasures to disguise himself.

Yun Ruo You had thought that she would be waiting for Yuchi Chen in the palace. She knew he would have a way to save her.

However, a very bad thing happened. Lan'er was caught.

When Yuchi Xuan brought Lan'er to Yun Ruo Lu, she had disguised herself as a palace maid. At that time, Lan'er's mouth was covered and she couldn't say a word.

"My beloved concubine, I've said that I wouldn't let my beloved concubine get hurt." With that, she was beaten by a group of guards with wooden sticks in front of Yun Ruo Lu. But Lan`er didn't say anything. She just let them hit her.

Yun Ruo knew that this person was no ordinary palace maid. Perhaps she had been sent by Yuchi Chen. The reason why Yuchi Xuan had done so was to show her who was the one who would stop her thoughts about Yuchi Chen saving her.

She looked at the tormented palace maid. She truly didn't know who this servant was. Logically speaking, she had seen her before. She was a palace maid by Yuchi Xuan's side. What did she want? Poisonous Yuchi Xuan?

But why did she have such a deep grudge against him? After thinking about it for a while, Yun Ruo suddenly thought of something and ran over to protect Lan'er. This person was Lan'er. She could change her bones and practice a martial arts that had long since been lost.

She had come to poison Yuchi Xuan.

"Leave her behind." Yun Ruo said leisurely.

"He was sent here to poison me by my good imperial brother. My beloved concubine said, how can I keep him here?" Yuchi Xuan looked at Yun Ruo Lu with anger in his eyes. "Don't tell me you don't care about me at all? "You are my beloved concubine!" Yuchi Xuan said.

Yun Ruo Lu said instead, "I don't like you at all."

"Is that so? "Then when you were still the Third Marquis, did you not like me?" Yuchi Xuan said.

"That's because I was blind back then. I didn't even know you were this kind of person …"

"Heh heh, I have been so good to you all these years. Don't you like me too?" You know, I've made you an imperial concubine in the palace, with treatment that's even higher than a queen's. As long as you don't like it in the palace, I'll kill off all those women who are gossiping about it. I come to see you every day, and all the women in the palace are jealous to death. "Only you have received my favor!" Yuchi Xuan almost howled at Yun Ruo Lu.

"Haha, favor? Yuchi Xuan, don't you think what you just said was laughable? I live in the palace like a year, where do I get favors? If you don't let me out for a day, I'd be happy to pull your tendons and drink your blood. The last time I heard that Yuchi Chen wasn't coming back, how much did I hate you? You killed my child … " Yun Ruo said leisurely.

"I didn't kill your child, that's the empress!" Yuchi Xuan excused himself.

"Empress? Alright, you've pushed everything away. The imperial harem truly does have a lot of things that kill children. Do you know what was in the pillow that the empress gave me? This sort of thing did not exist in Yuchi County, nor did it exist in the Southern Champion City. Only the Western Regions possessed such things. But how could the palace get something from the Western Regions? If such a thing was placed in a pillow, it could calm the mind. However, it was still very precious since it could not be touched by a pregnant woman. Generally in the South Court Treasury. The empress has collected a lot of these things, do you dare say you don't know? Didn't you agree already? In my opinion, you just cannot bear to see me pregnant with Yuchi Chen's child! You won't even let a child go! " He thought she didn't know that she wasn't an idiot. The empress had used such a method to harm his child, so even if there were no traces left behind, how could he not know?
