Wicked Prince's Abandoned Wife

During the exchange, Yun Ruo Lu discovered that the black-clothed man didn't want her life. Otherwise, in her current drunken state, she would not be a match for the man in black.

Someone who could sneak into the palace to assassinate the Emperor was definitely not simple!

"Who are you? Why did you assassinate the Emperor? "

Although she didn't like Yuchi Xuan at the moment, he still had a good use for her, so she couldn't let him die.

She could clearly feel that the black-clothed man seemed to know her, and even knew her moves very well.

The black-clothed man saw that he didn't have the chance to kill Yuchi Xuan. He was worried that the guards would be attracted to him if he continued to pester him, so he retreated.

How could Yun Ruo Lu let him run away like this? Thus, she chased after him without any hesitation.

The man in black rushed into the fake mountain in the imperial garden. It was an easy place to hide from his enemy, and it was also very easy to get rid of him.

Yun Ruo Lu also rushed in. She was quite familiar with this place, so she wasn't worried about getting lost or losing it.

The two of them probably hid in the fake mountain for an incense stick of time before Yun Ruo Lu caught up to that person and started to fight again.

"You're so familiar with the environment of the palace. It seems like you're no ordinary assassin!"

Yun Ruo said as she fought.

That man in black still did not say a word. He just kept avoiding Yun Ruo and there was even a hint of panic in his eyes.

Just as the two of them were having an intense fight, a stone flew out from an unknown direction and struck the black-clothed man, helping Yun Ruo Lu.

Yun Ruo Lu seized the opportunity to pull the black cloth off the face of the man in black.

Because the person before her was exactly the person she knew!

"Scarlet Jade! "It's you —!"

She had never expected that the black-clothed man who had wanted to assassinate Yuchi Xuan was actually him!

Seeing that her identity had been exposed, Chi Yu no longer planned to hide. Instead, he faced Yun Ruo Lu calmly and said: "Since you've already discovered her, what do you want to do with her?"

"Why did you assassinate the Emperor? Aren't you afraid of causing a dispute between the two countries? "

Chiyu was the envoy of the Southern Champion Kingdom. Her words and actions naturally represented the entire Southern Champion Kingdom, yet she had actually done such a thing. This truly puzzled her.

And didn't the Southern Champion Kingdom come this time for the friendship between the two countries? How could he have assassinated Yuchi Xuan? Could it be that being on good terms with the Yuchi Kingdom was just a pretense? Could it be that he was actually plotting against the Yuchi Kingdom?

Thinking of this, Yun Ruo Lu suddenly felt silly. Scarlet Jade's goal for getting close to her, was probably to make use of her, right?!

Fortunately, she wasn't deceived by his flowery words. Otherwise, she really wouldn't be able to show her face right now.

"What is your purpose in coming to the Yuchi Kingdom?" Answer my question first! "

Yun Ruo Lu did not answer Chi Yu's question, because she had not decided how to deal with him yet.

It wasn't that she knew exactly what Yuchi Xuan was doing; it was just that she couldn't let him die yet.

"Didn't you see it earlier?" My goal is very simple, to make him die! "

Chiyu's tone was very serious, and there was even a hint of resentment in her tone. She did not seem like she was joking or was just speaking casually.

"Why?"

Yun Ruo asked puzzledly. Although Yuchi Xuan had done some bad things upon ascending the throne, it did not involve the grudge between Yuchi Kingdom and the Southern Champion Kingdom.

"Humph!" Sometimes, do you need so many reasons to be alone? "

Chi Yu coldly snorted, he did not intend to answer Yun Ruo's question.

Yun Ruo Lu knew that there wouldn't be any result if she continued questioning her, so she changed the topic. "I can pretend that I don't know what happened today, but if you get caught by the emperor next time, you won't be so lucky …"

She also did not know why she reminded him like this. Perhaps in the matters of the Imperial Palace, she treated herself as a bystander. No matter who lived or died in the Imperial Palace, she would not feel sad.

"Hehe, I'm afraid the next person who won't be lucky is him!"

Chiyu confidently said. Her eyes were very firm, as if she had been prepared for this for a long time.

"What are you doing? Could it be that he wanted to annex the Yuchi Kingdom? I won't allow you to do that! "

She didn't care about Yuchi Xuan's life or death, but she didn't want another war to break out. She didn't want the citizens of the Yuchi Kingdom to suffer with her again.

Scarlet Jade didn't say anything else. Instead, she turned around and prepared to leave. Just as his figure was about to disappear from her sight, she heard a vague sentence that puzzled her.

"One day, you will understand everything!"

Understand all...? Yun Ruo Lu looked at the retreating back of Chi Yu in confusion, feeling puzzled in her heart. Who was this man?

She felt that he was strange and a little familiar, that he knew everything about her, but she didn't know anything about him.

After returning to the pavilion, Yun Ruo Lu arranged for people to escort Yuchi Xuan back to his bedroom to rest, while she herself went back to tend to the wounds on her hands.

Yuchi Xuan was a very sharp and intelligent person. If he saw him, he would immediately recognize that it was a sword wound. Even if he didn't force her, he would have found out what happened.

Although she knew of Scarlet Jade's ambitions, she didn't know why, but she actually didn't want to go against her!

After everything was settled, the sky had already darkened.

If Yuchi Xuan was drunk, he would probably sleep until the next day, so tonight she could rest in peace.

Yuchi Xuan's alcohol capacity wasn't bad, but after two jugs, he collapsed. She thought that Scarlet Jade must have done something to Yuchi Xuan's alcohol tolerance. Otherwise, even if he was drunk, with Yuchi Xuan's high vigilance, he wouldn't be able to sense anything.

That night, Yun Ruo was sitting alone in her bedroom reading a book. She was not used to it without Jin Se accompanying her.

Tonight was Jin`er's wedding night, and it was unknown if she was doing well in the General's Estate.

For the rest of the journey, she would walk alone. Regardless of whether she was right or wrong, or the outcome, she would never regret her decision.

That night, Yun Ruo Lu did not think too much about it. Although something had happened during the day, her heart was incredibly calm.

If not for Yuchi Chen's matter, perhaps she would have long left this place, far away from the mortal world, and would no longer care about the conflicts and schemes in this world.

However, he didn't know how much longer he would have to wait for that day to come.

At noon the next day, a palace maid came to report that General Yan had an important matter to report to him.

Yun Ruo Lu knew that if it wasn't something very important, Yan Feng wouldn't have come looking for her so casually.

Thus, Yun Ruo Lu had her men bring Yan Feng to the backyard to talk.

Behind her palace, there was a small courtyard that was specially built for her by Yuchi Xuan. Usually, when there was nothing to do, she would grow some plants.

Yun Ruo Lu often grew some herbs, and there was even a resting pavilion in the backyard. Without her permission, most people wouldn't dare to come here.

Thus, Yun Ruo Lu had her people bring Yan Feng to the backyard, and he would not be suspected or disturbed by anyone.

Yan Feng was dressed in armor and looked like he was doing his duty.

Yun Ruo Lu prepared some herbal tea to relieve the heat, and drank it while listening to Yan Feng's report.

"Niangniang, according to the reports from the spies outside the palace, there are many fox men in the capital city. Moreover, these people seem to be very organized, not like ordinary merchants."

Yun Ruo knew that within Yuchi Kingdom, there would often be fox people doing business. However, they were mostly in the border regions, and rarely travelled thousands of miles to the capital.

The fox men were a group of people living outside the pass. They were not controlled by any country, so they were very free. However, it was also very easy for them to be killed. Thus, in order to protect themselves, they would gather together, forming an organization to prevent themselves from being bullied.

The fox man organization was very strong and united. A thousand man team could fight against an army of about 3000 people.

Therefore, even though it was just a few Hu men who had arrived in the capital, it was already enough to attract attention.

Yun Ruo Lu thought about it for a while, then asked, "Did you send someone to monitor them? Do you know the purpose of these people coming to the capital?"

Yan Feng nodded his head and replied seriously: "We have already sent people to watch them. On the surface, they seem to be merchants, as if they are here to purchase some things from our Central Plains. But they are actually gathering in the dark, as if discussing a plan.

"Do you know where these foxes came from?"

Because of the high mobility of fox men, every country had fox men. They were like viruses, lurking in every corner of the world.

"I'm not sure about that, but judging from their clothes and belongings, they should be from the south."

Yun Ruo Lu pondered for a moment, but didn't say anything. Her expression was a little serious, as if she was considering a very serious question.

If it was the past, she would definitely not have contacted him that much. However, after the assassination attempt on Yuchi Xuan by Scarlet Jade yesterday, Yun Ruo Lu had no choice but to link this matter to the Southern Champion Kingdom.

If this really had something to do with Scarlet Jade, she was not sure what she should do.

She didn't want to be enemies with Crimsonjade, but she definitely wouldn't let the citizens of the Yuchi Kingdom be harmed either.

"Continue to monitor them secretly. Report any abnormal actions immediately!"

"Yes sir!"

Yan Feng cupped his fists, and under Yun Ruo's instructions, he quickly retreated, with the prestige of a soldier.

Back then, she had chosen to take Yan Feng in as her own, not only because Yan Feng's ability was not weak, but also because he knew how to obey.

No matter how capable a person was, if he couldn't be controlled, he could become an enemy in the future.

After Yan Feng left, Yun Ruo Lu sat alone in the back yard, looking at the garden filled with herbs, her thoughts were in a mess.

If not for these herbs, one of the people she treasured would have to leave.

Thinking of this, Yun Ruo Lu couldn't help but think of Xiang Qing. It had been a long time since he went to see that little girl. He wondered how she was doing.
