"Ah Ji, don't be silly. He's more of a lover than anyone else. If you see him, you won't be able to have any happiness." She had personally witnessed the extent of Xi Men Rui's flowery heart. She felt uncomfortable whenever she thought about the scenes she had seen before and the things he had done to her.

"Ruo, I like Rui a lot, and also Wu, Ruo, you know, I dreamed about them almost every night before I came here."

"The two of them?" He was confused.

"Oh, it's like this. I dream of a man every night. That man looks like A-Li and A-Wu, so …" Sighing, she continued, "I don't know if the man I dreamt of was Ari or Awu. It's troublesome, but I like Ari. He's really handsome when he rides a horse." As he leisurely watched, his eyes could no longer keep away from the handsome figure of Ximen Ruixue.

The sound of the horse hooves was getting closer and closer. No matter how hard the coachman tried to drive the horse carriage, it was useless. The horse carriage could not get past one horse.

The switchblade was still on Yun Ru Xi's neck. If she had to gamble, there would be hope for freedom. Otherwise, she could only stay in the palace and continue to work for Rui Xue.

"Xi Men Rui Xue, stop right there." It didn't matter if it was useful or not, she had to give it a try.

A smile appeared on Xi Men Rui's handsome face. "Qin Zhiruo, look over there. Do you think you can run away from this palace?"

She did not know who the people in the carriage belonged to, but she understood from what Xi Men Rui Xue had said. Those people were not from the rebel army, but her own people.

"What do you want?" Gritting her teeth, she didn't want to give up until the very last moment.

"Stop the car." With a low roar, flames seemed to have shot out of Xi Men Rui's eyes.

It was already too late for her to stop him, because the coachman was already frightened by Ximen Ruixue's intimidating voice. He stopped the carriage obediently, because once the rebel army was destroyed, Ximen Ruixue would be in the Imperial Palace. He was the current crown prince, and now that the previous emperor had passed away, Ximen Ruixue would naturally ascend to the throne.

Once the car stopped, it was impossible to not panic, "Ximen Ruixue, if you come over again, I'll immediately kill Yun Ru Xi." However, she did not have any confidence when she said this. If this rebellion was started by the people of the Yun Family, then how could Xi Men Rui Xue care about Yun Ru's life and death?

Sure enough, after Ruo Ruo said that, Xi Men Rui Xue raised her head and laughed, "Haha, Qin Zhiruo, do you think I care about the life and death of the previous empress, the empress dowager? "Yun Ru Xi is now just like an ant in this duke's eyes. Whether she dies or dies has nothing to do with this duke. Men, seize her. Not a single one of them can be let go." As he spoke, his sharp gaze shot towards Qin Zhiqing who was in the car.

Qin Zhiqing had nowhere to run to because he had already lifted up the curtains of the carriage and was looking at Xi Men Rui in a different direction. He was so excited that he was about to jump off the carriage.

"Su Ming, you should just stay in the car. There's no point for you to go there. If it wasn't for me, they wouldn't even understand what you were talking about."

Ah Lei looked at Ruo in frustration. Yes, Ruo Ruo was right. Previously, it was because she could not express her words that both Xi Men Rui Xue and Rui Wu could not communicate with her.

"Rui …" At this moment, all of her hopes were placed on Xi Men Ruoxue. Yet, Xi Men Rui Xue had coldly declared that he would not pay attention to her.

"Capture them all and take them away." As if she hadn't heard anything, Xi Men Rui Xue ordered her underlings to bring Zhiruo and everyone else on the carriage.

Ruo Ruo's eyes became watery. It seems like Yun Ru Xi was not a bargaining chip between them, and other than Yun Ru Xi, there was nothing else on her hands.

No, no matter what, he could not let Qin Qing Qing fall into the hands of Xi Men Rui Xue.

He and Qin Zhiqing had always been against each other.

Remembering the memories from that night, Ruo Ruo's hand slowly moved the switchblade that was placed on Yun Ruoxi's neck, then she suddenly pointed it at her chest. "Xi Men Rui Xue, make them stop." She had already used this move that time in Medicine Valley, but now, she had no other choice but to use it once.

"Ruo Ruo, don't be silly." Qin Zhiqing dragged his injured leg, anxiously trying to dissuade her.

However, she was soon disappointed. There were no ripples in Xi Men Rui Xue's eyes, so it was hard to tell what he was thinking. He only stared at her indifferently. After a long while, he said coldly, "Take them all down."

At that moment, Ruo Ruo's heart shattered.

She was right to leave, he was heartless to her.

"Ximen Ruixue, you must let her go." The knife in his hand stabbed fiercely into his chest, and the wounds that had been there started to pile up again.

"Ruo Ruo …" Qin Zhiqing stuck his head out of the carriage and was about to stop him, but he was immediately restrained by Xi Men Rui Xue's men.

"Let them go." His hand pressed down once again.

Blood was flowing out, this time her attacks were much more severe than in Pill King Valley.

Seeing that Xi Men Rui Xue was indifferent, a thought flashed through her mind. She said, "Xi Men Rui Xue, once I'm dead, you can forget about obtaining the Flame Token."

A flame woke Xi Men Rui Xue up. She waved her hand, "Stop."

"Rui …" Lying on the ground, Yun Ruoxi embarrassedly crawled towards Ximen Ruoxue's horse. She was so scared that she had already lost all of her former dignity. In a flurry, she ran towards Ximen Ruixue.

Xi Men Rui Xue glanced at Ruo Ruo, then suddenly flew up and landed steadily on the ground. She reached out her hands to grab Yun Ruoxi and instantly hugged her into her arms. With her white hair fluttering freely and freely, Ah Ji was stunned by her, "Too cool, Xi Men Rui Xue, I love you."

Everyone could understand the voice, but the other English words were still confusing. Xi Men Rui Xue ignored her and turned around with Yun Ru Xi in her arms. She instantly returned to the back of the white horse and said in a low voice to her subordinates, "Let Qin Zhiqing go."

Only now did Ruo Ruo retract her hand, but the blood in her chest was still flowing like a small river.

"However, Qin Zhiruo, you have to return to the Jing Yang Palace." It was a blatant threat, but there was nothing she could do about it.

"You have to promise that you'll let me go first."

"Ruo Ruo, don't." Qin Zhiqing stopped him with a loud voice.

Ruo Ruo insisted as if she didn't hear anything, "If you don't agree, I'll let you see my death. Then, you'll never get that Flame Token again."

"Alright." It was as if he had been waiting for her to say this for a long time. She responded immediately and casually waved her hand. "Send Miss Qin to Jingyang Palace and send Qin Zhiqing out of the palace." After coldly giving her orders, Xi Men Rui Xue carried Yun Ru and left on her horse.

She looked at the two figures who had immediately merged together. Her eyes were blurry like tears. It seemed that she had misjudged him earlier.

In this way, he was basically protecting Yun Ru and Xi Xi.

If she didn't know how she got back to the Palace and the medicine woman came, her wound would have been bandaged and Su Ming, who came with her, would be walking around on the ground excitedly saying something in English. However, it was as if Su Ming hadn't heard her, thinking of the cold expression on Xi Men Rui Xue's face when the switchblade had stabbed into his chest, if she hadn't mentioned the Flame Token, he wouldn't have cared about her life.

He said that he didn't need that thing, but he still revealed his true face.

Gritting her lips, no matter how much the medicine girl tried to cure her, she didn't make a sound. Her ash-grey face was filled with a haggard and drowning look, and her soul seemed to have left her body, causing her to shake her head. But no matter what he said, she didn't make a sound.

The image of Xi Men Rui Xue carrying Yun Ruoxi away while she was using a switchblade to stab herself in her chest kept floating through her mind. It was a scene that she could not get rid of no matter how hard she tried.

Hate, so it turns out that he and Yun Ru Xi were actually together. The reason he was friendly with her before was only because he wanted to cheat the Flame Token from her hands.

It was tiring to be alive.

But now she didn't even have the power to die.

She couldn't do anything until she was sure that Qin Zhiqing was safe. Otherwise, she would do anything.

Flame Token, haha, this was what the late emperor used to place her at the heart of the struggle.

She didn't know if it was because of Xi Men Ruixue's intentional actions, but back in the Palace, she had no way of knowing what was going on in the Palace. Now, however, the maid who served her could say whatever she wanted to say, so she had inadvertently sent information regarding the situation in the Palace to her ears.

"I already told you that the Yun Family isn't so bold, and the empress isn't that kind of person. On the other hand, the Qin Family actually took advantage of the loss of the late emperor to cause a change in the palace. If it wasn't for the crown prince being prepared, I'm afraid we palace maids would have already been nurtured this time."

"That's right. I really don't know what use the Crown Prince has kept Third Young Miss Qin. None of the Qin family members are good people."

Ruo Ruo heard it clearly, and she suddenly sat up, grabbing the palace maid who was just speaking: "Tell me, who activated the palace change?" She used every ounce of strength she had. She was so excited that she didn't even know the blood was coming out from the treated wound on her chest again and again.

Her expression made the palace maid frightened. "Qin …" After saying one word, she went silent again. "This, even this servant doesn't know."

"Haha, why are you talking so loudly? Do you not dare to say it now?" She couldn't believe it. She couldn't believe it was done by the Qin family at all.

"This servant … this servant didn't know that Miss was awake." The little girl explained softly, as if she was telling Ruo Ruo that she didn't mean to let her hear him.
