Hearing that it was a set of martial arts training clothes, Jin Se's expression became very strange. Fortunately, he didn't tell her to wear it normally, so she didn't look at him with disdain.

Yun Ruo Lu knew that the Seventh Prince was unable to adapt for the moment, so she didn't make things difficult for him, but instructed, "Jin'er, go and ask around. See where the Seventh Prince is at? Say that I have something to discuss with him and see if he can make a trip to the Prince's Mansion. "

"Send the Seventh Prince to the Duke's Palace? It's not very good, is it? "If the Empress has any important matters, why don't you ask Jin'er to pass them on?"

Yun Ruo thought about it, she was just a secondary concubine, she didn't have a name for the Seventh Prince to personally visit. And even if he really did come, with so many eyes, ears, and ears, the servants would not know what kind of trouble he was going to cause if they saw it.

However, what she wanted to know couldn't be helped by Jin'er. She had to ask personally.

"Jin'er, I must see the Seventh Prince. Do you think there's any suitable way?"

Jinther thought for a moment and seemed to know what she could do, but she immediately shook her head. "None of them are suitable. Empress, you should wait until the Seventh Prince comes to the Prince's estate to see him."

It was unknown how long it would take for Yuchi Yanghong to come to the royal estate, but Yun Ruo Lu simply didn't have the patience to wait. However, since Jinsi didn't want to say it, she could only think of a way herself.

Yun Ruo Lu scratched her chin and thought for a while. Looking at the clothes on the table, she suddenly thought of a plan and said, "Jin'er, how about we change into men's clothes and climb over the walls to find a top-class teahouse and call the Seventh Prince over?"

Last night, she had taken a lot of money from Yuchi Chen. If she did not spend it, it would have been a waste.

"This method is possible. "But, if Prince finds out that we've snuck out again, won't …"

When she talked about leaving the manor, Jinsi still had a look of lingering fear. That night, so many guards had come from Mei Yuan, she didn't dare to challenge the Fifth Prince's temper.

Jinsi was not thinking about something that was impossible. Yun Ruo noticed that Yuchi Chen seemed to have been paying attention to her movements recently. The chances of being caught at this critical juncture were higher than sixty percent.

However, she couldn't just continue waiting aimlessly.

Yun Ruo Lu sat down in distress, tapped the table with her finger and thought for a while. "Then I'll go by myself. You stay at Plum Garden. If there's anything else, I'll stall for time. I'll be back soon."

Right now, Yun Ruo suddenly felt that it would be great if there could be another person by her side. That way, there would be someone else who could help to spread the news.

"No, this is too dangerous. What if the Empress meets bad people alone?" Jin Se rejected without even thinking.

"Empress, what on earth is so important that we have to meet the Seventh Prince?" Even if I can't convey it to Jin'er, can't I write and explain it? "

Knowing that Yun Ruo wouldn't stop until she reached her goal, Jin Se could only help to come up with other ideas.

"If the letter were to fall into someone else's hands, it would be even more troublesome. Jin'er, find a way to notify Seventh Prince on my behalf. Tell him that I will be waiting for him at the Red Cross Restaurant tonight."

Jin Se knew that once Yun Ruo Lu made up her mind, even ten oxen wouldn't be able to pull her back. Thus, she could only agree, "Yes!"

Yun Ruo knew that Yuchi Chen would often stay out late at night, so she was not worried about being caught out at night.

After Jinsi left, YunRuo Lu began to make her preparations, because she had already made her plans. If possible, she would ask Yuchi Yan to help her leave the estate.

Yun Ruo Lu waited for about four hours, but she didn't see Jin Se. She was both worried and anxious.

At that time, the insides of the Prince's Mansion also started to become a bit restless. All of the guards ran towards one direction, and even the guards outside of Mei Garden moved away from one of them.

"What happened at the Duke Palaces?" Why does everyone look so flustered? "

Yun Ruo Lu walked to the door and asked the guard that had yet to leave, she had a bad feeling about this.

The guard didn't dare to put on airs with Yun Ruo, so he replied respectfully: "Reporting to esteemed wangfei, the Duke was very angry when the Duke's estate was stolen last night, so we gathered everyone from the Duke's Mansion to interrogate them."

Stolen from the Prince's Mansion? Could it be …

Yun Ruo Lu suddenly thought of the painting she had taken away last night and wondered how Yuchi Chen could have discovered it so quickly. And for the sake of a painting, he even mustered so many people. Could it be that this painting was really that important to him?

Thinking of this, Yun Ruo ran back to her room and hid the painting. As long as she pretended to know nothing, Yuchi Chen would definitely not suspect her. After all, the person in the painting looked exactly the same as her, and Yuchi Chen had been concealing something from her all along.

After hiding the painting, Yun Ruo Lu ran over to watch the show. She had originally thought that Yuchi Chen would only gather her guards, but when she arrived at the open space outside of Yuchi Chen's house, she found that it was bustling with people.

Not only the guards, but also the maids, servants, and even the kitchen staff were called over.

Before Yuchi Chen had appeared, everyone had been discussing what treasure the King's Mansion had lost, and it was the first time that the Prince had managed to gather so many people.

Yun Ruo Lu looked around and saw Liu Yanhan walking towards them as well. There were also Yuchi Chen and a group of about 20 people. Today, she had gotten to know all of them.

Liu Yanhan walked out of Yuchi Chen's door with her chest held high and waited outside. When she arrived, everyone quieted down.

Liu Yanhan didn't notice Yun Ruo who was hiding in the crowd. She suddenly realized that apart from her, Yuchi Chen had almost brought all the other members of the Royal Mansion over.

After waiting for a few minutes, Yuchi Chen walked out of the room dressed in a black robe. The armored guards on both sides of the room stood in a proper manner, surrounding everyone within. The atmosphere was tense and solemn.

Seeing Yuchi Chen, Liu Yanhan went up to her and said, "My lord, what is the matter? Why did you call everyone from the Mansion?" "Could it be that even your concubine suspects that the Royal Mansion has lost something?"

At this moment, Yuchi Chen was in no mood to pay attention to Liu Yanhan. He pushed her away and swept his gaze across everyone present. "Last night, when I was not at home, someone was daring enough to use this opportunity to steal something. As for what he had stolen, that person was very clear about it! This King gives you a chance right now. Hand it over yourself, and if This King finds it out, don't blame This King for annihilating your entire clan! "

Yuchi Chen's voice was sonorous and forceful. A strong surge of inner energy pierced the eardrums of everyone present, causing their hearts to tremble.

As soon as his voice fell, two heads were placed on the ground by the guards. Some of the timid servants screamed out in fear and retreated.

Yun Ruo Lu tiptoed to take a look, those two heads were the guards who were on guard last night. Wei Chen naturally wouldn't let them go if they lost something, which was why he had cut off their heads to show them to the public.

However, this method was a bit cruel and heartless. The guards of the palace had stayed in the mansion for at least five years, and many of them had been brought to the training camp since they were young.

Once the head appeared, everyone present was so frightened that they didn't dare to speak. It seemed as if Yuchi Chen had expected this outcome and had been prepared for it. He raised his right hand and waved. Suddenly, twenty armored guards appeared around him.

"Go and search! Even if I have to flip the entire palace, I have to find that person! "

Everyone was under control, and the armored guards ordered the guards to go to the various houses in the mansion and start searching.

Yun Ruo let out a breath of relief. It was a good thing that she hid it in another place before she came out, otherwise these guards would have found it by now.

Originally, they had thought that things would end like this. Unexpectedly, Yuchi Chen didn't spare anyone who was present. He had everyone line up and check them out one by one.

Although no one would be stupid enough to carry a stolen item with them, Yuchi Chen was extremely shrewd. As a thief, as long as he had a shred of a guilty conscience, Yuchi Chen would surely be able to see through him.

Unfortunately, his opponent this time was Yun Ruo Lu. As an assassin, her mental fortitude was not ordinary. Even if Yuchi Chen were to look her in the eye, she would not show any signs of fear or disrespect.

Liu Yanhan followed behind Yuchi Chen. As the two got closer and closer to Yun Ruo Lu, she began to feel conflicted. She wasn't sure if she should leave quickly or wait to be discovered.

Everyone stood on the spot, not daring to move. If she were to leave right now, she would definitely be caught off guard. If she did not leave, even if Yuchi Chen did not suspect her, there would still be an argument between them.

Besides, all the servants in the manor were here. If Yuchi Chen were to embarrass her in front of everyone, then she would never have another peaceful day ahead of her.

Just when Yun Ruo Lu didn't know what to do, there was a person who suddenly fainted on the ground, and his entire body twitched while foaming at the mouth.

Everyone's attention was immediately attracted by the voice. Yun Ruo Lu seized the opportunity and wanted to use it to escape.

However, just as he turned around, he heard someone from the crowd say, "Xi Feng's asthma has flared up. Quickly, get a doctor!"

Yun Ruo knew that if the asthma attack was not saved in time, the same could happen to people. Right now, all the members of the Royal Mansion were gathered here. By the time the doctor was brought here, the girl called Xi Feng would have already lost her life.

However, both Yuchi Chen and Liu Yanhan were present. If she were to be in the limelight now, who knew what the consequences would be.

"Everyone spread out, stand still and don't move!"

The moment Yuchi Chen's voice rang out, no one dared to surround her, let alone seek a doctor.

Yun Ruo knew what Yuchi Chen was planning to do. He did not want to bother with the servant's life and death. He continued his search to prevent the servant from escaping.

"The life of a servant is also his life! How can you be so frivolous, ignore a person's illness when you see it, and leave them to fend for themselves? "

Seeing how cold-blooded Yuchi Chen was, Yun Ruo Lu could no longer resist standing up to speak up for the maid.

Although she was an assassin before, she had never killed a weak common person, much less bullied an old, weak, and handicapped person. Her targets were all the rich men of the world, and these rich men were all wolves in sheep's clothing, not to mention that they ate people without spitting out their bones.
