C50

During these three days, Yun Ruo Lu understood the current situation of the imperial court.

There were two people in control of the military. One was Yuchi Xuan, while the other was Old General Mu Daheng of the Muda clan.

He had three sons, two of whom were under the command of Yuchi Xuan. Yun Ruo could tell that Mu Da Hong was very much in favor of Yuchi Xuan, while she scoffed at the famous Fifth Prince Yuchi Chen.

Although Yuchi Chen was notorious, he was loved by the Emperor. Even though the Third Marquis was talented, the Emperor still valued the Fifth Prince more.

Because of this, Yun Ruo Lu suspected that part of the reason for the disagreement between Yuchi Xuan and Yuchi Chen was due to the Emperor's bias.

However, no matter how much the Emperor favored Yuchi Chen, the military power lay in Yuchi Xuan's hands. She was worried that one day, when the two brothers were at loggerheads, Yuchi Xuan wouldn't be a match for Yuchi Xuan at all.

No matter how they fought, Yun Ruo Lu didn't care. If she had to choose, perhaps she would hope that Yuchi Xuan would be able to defeat Yuchi Chen.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Early that morning, Yuchi Xuanyuan and his team returned to the borders.

This time, the most puzzling thing was that not only did Yuchi Xuan bring her along, he even brought Xue'er with him.

If bringing her along was an idea, then bringing Xue'er along would be like a wind flower or a snow moon.

When she saw Xue'er enter Yuchi Xuan's carriage, her impression of Yuchi Xuan had completely changed. She even thought that Yuchi Xuan was as romantic as Yuchi Chen.

Yun Ruo Lu rode a horse next to Yuchi Xuan's carriage. From time to time, Snow's coquettish laughter could be heard from the carriage, making her curious as to why they were in the carriage.

Although Yuchi Xuan wasn't as cold as Yuchi Chen, it wasn't hot or cold to her. In fact, within the royal estate, she had never seen Yuchi Xuan laugh before.

It would take at least five days to get from the capital to the Fringe. However, if he brought Xue'er with him, he would probably arrive two days later than expected.

Yun Ruo Lu knew nothing about Xue Er's origins. All she knew was that she lived in a stormy place, and that she was not the singer she had imagined.

Therefore, she wasn't very clear about Xue Er's identity, or even why she was at Flower Mansion.

Xue'er wore a veil along the way, and her white gauze skirt matched with Yuchi Xuan's snow-white body. The two looked like a natural match.

Yun Ruo Lu did not know why, but she did her best to not think too much as she watched Yuchi Xuan and Xue Er walking together. However, she still felt uncomfortable in her heart.

In the Third Marquis Estate, she had not seen a group of concubines like the one in the Fifth Prince's Estate. Therefore, she had always thought that Yuchi Xuan was an emotional person.

In this feudal hierarchy, it was difficult to find a devoted man, and even more difficult to find such a man in the royal family.

At night, everyone rested in a villa. As for Yuchi Xuan, he remained in Snowy's room the entire time, not coming out.

When Yun Ruo Lu knocked on the door and entered, Yuchi Xuan and Xue Er were playing chess.

When the two of them saw Yun Ruo leisurely bringing in something, they were shocked and even felt that it was a little strange.

"It's enough for the maidservants to take care of these matters. You have traveled all the way here today. You should hurry up and rest as well."

Without even looking at what Yun Ruo had brought over, Yuchi Xuan began to concentrate on his chess game.

Yun Ruo Lu did not respond. Instead, she walked over to Yuchi Xuan's side and watched the two play chess.

"What is it? Young Master Yun is also interested in chess? How about you accompany the prince for the next match? "

Seeing that Yun Ruo was looking very seriously, Xue'er smiled lightly, got up, and invited Yun Ruo Lu to play chess with him.

Yun Ruo Lu hesitated for a while, then said embarrassedly: "I don't know how to play this game, but I have an even more fun idea. It's both simple and fun."

She admitted that she wasn't Baidu's, that she didn't know everything. Chess was still okay for her, but for a Go with only black and white pieces, she could only play Go.

Upon hearing that there was an even better method, Yuchi Xuan was immediately interested, and he had Yun Ruo Lu speak of it.

"It's very simple. Five pieces of the same color are linked together in a single line. Whoever first makes five pieces in a row will win. In the process, we can use our own chess pieces to hinder the other side. If the chess pieces are full and there's no clear winner, then it's a draw. "

Yun Ruo Lu gave a simple introduction of the Go, which both Xue'er and Yuchi Xuan were interested in.

"That's interesting. Try it with This King."

Yun Ruo and Huan immediately sat down across from Yuchi Xuan and began to play.

In the beginning, Yun Ruo Lu had easily defeated Yuchi Xuan. This had made Yuchi Xuan work harder. It took five rounds for him to tie with Yun Ruo Yu in a draw.

Yun Ruo Lu admitted she was an expert at chess, but for Yuchi Xuan to be able to achieve a draw in five short rounds was already a very good result.

At the end, Yun Ruo Lu felt that it was getting harder and harder to carry on. She even lost a few times.

With a chance to win, Yuchi Xuanyuan became even more spirited. He kept pestering Yun Ruo Lu, while Xue'er waited for the opportunity to leave quietly.

How could she not tell that Yun Ruo Lu was her daughter? Yuchi Xuan had told her about this matter on the carriage. As for why Yuchi Xuan didn't expose her as a man, he naturally had his own reasons for doing so.

Yun Ruo Lu played chess with Yuchi Xuan until the latter part of the night. When she couldn't bear it any longer, she went back to rest.

The next morning, when they continued on their way, Yun Ruo Lu was already wearing two dark circles under her eyes, looking listless.

Seeing her like this, Yuchi Xuan couldn't help but laugh. He told Yun Ruo Lu to stop riding and ride with him in the carriage.

"Where's Lady Snow? "Why aren't you seeing her?"

Once Yun Ruo entered the carriage, she saw that Yuchi Xuan was alone. She couldn't help but ask curiously.

"She's in the back of the carriage, why? If you can't see the beauty, you aren't willing to be with This King? "

Yuchi Xuan gave a playful smile. Did Yun Ruo Lu feel that the atmosphere was weird? Why did she want Xue Er to leave the moment she arrived? Those who didn't know the answer would think that she and Yuchi Xuan were addicted to the art of severing their sleeves.

"No, thank you for your love, Your Highness!"

Cloudjade boarded his carriage, and at the command of Yuchi Xuan, the caravan continued forward in a awe-inspiring fashion.

The rickety carriage made Yun Ruo who hadn't slept soundly drowsy. Her eyelids couldn't lift no matter how hard she tried.

A gust of wind blew past the carriage's windows, and along with the scent of the flowers on Yuchi Xuan's body, Yun Ruo Lu was no longer able to hold it in. She directly fell asleep on the carriage.

Yun Ruo Lu did not know how long she slept until the carriage jolted and she woke up.

"You're awake?"

Yuchi Xuan's voice rang out in her ears. When Yun Ruo came back to her senses, she discovered that she was actually sleeping on Yuchi Xuan's lap, and it seemed … It even started to drool without any regard for its appearance.

He couldn't blame her for drooling. That was something that humans couldn't control. Salivary glands press down when you sleep on your side, causing saliva to flow out.

Although she knew all of this, she couldn't exactly explain it this way to Yuchi Xuan! More importantly, she had clearly been seated across from Yuchi Xuan. How did she wake up and fall asleep on his lap?

When she woke up, she couldn't remember which side she was sitting on. It couldn't be that she had gone sleepwalking to Yuchi Xuan's side to sleep, right? Or was Yuchi Xuan the one who had broken his sleeve and taken advantage of her while she was sleeping?

However, looking at Yuchi Xuan's handsome face, he shouldn't be so evil!

That complicated feeling in Yun Ruo Man's heart caused her to look awkwardly at the patch of wetland on Yuchi Xuan's leg. Her face was flushed red to the point where her neck was red.

Seeing Yun Ruo Lu's troubled face, Yuchi Xuan found it laughable. He took the initiative to explain, "I was worried that you would fall down, so I came to support you."

With a simple explanation, Yun Ruo Lu heaved a sigh of relief. However, hearing these words, how could they make her feel even more ambiguous?

"Your Highness, I've already woken up. Let's go ride the horse."

After Yun Ruo Lu said that, she rushed out of the carriage like a gust of wind. She had her horse brought over and started to ride.

It was the first time in her life that she felt so awkward. She almost dug a hole to hide in.

Seeing Yun Ruo Lu run away, Yuchi Xuan did not stop her. He only lifted the curtain slightly and glanced at Yun Ruo Lu, who was still feeling guilty. He didn't even notice that he had a knowing smile on his face.

After another five days of travel, they finally arrived at the border garrison.

The garrison was still nearly four hours away from the desert, so when they arrived at the border camp, Yuchi Xuan wasn't in a rush to go check out the situation in the desert. Instead, he let everyone have a good rest.

There was a city in the desert that Yun Ruo Lu had planned to go to. She did not know if she would have the opportunity to go there and sightsee.

The conditions of the border camp were not very good. It was not only inconvenient to use water, but it also frequently ran out of food.

On the road, Yunluo had heard Yuchi Xuan say that every time winter came, the lack of food in the military camp would be especially severe.

Yuchi Xuan had been in the military camp for nearly three years, and he and these soldiers had gone through the hardships of starvation. When he couldn't get enough food, he would take his men to the nearby mountains to dig for roots. However, the mountains nearby were mostly barren, and it wouldn't be easy to dig up roots and roots.

Hearing these words, Yun Ruo realized that her understanding of Yuchi Xuan was simply too little. She had only seen a bright side to her. She hadn't thought that the dignified Third Marquis would once be in such dire straits.

This was because Yun Ruo Ran wanted to establish a good cooperation with Yi Kingdom so that the soldiers on the border could have the energy to protect their home and protect their country.

Being on good terms with the Yi Kingdom was not as difficult as they had imagined. The Yi Kingdom was a small country, and its location was at the border of a few countries. As a result, the Yi Kingdom was constantly harassed by a few countries, and its domestic economy did not develop at all.

What they needed to do was to promise to raze their country, and when they encountered danger and harassment, they could send reinforcements to protect their country. As long as the external problems were solved, there was no need to worry about the Yi Kingdom not shed tears of gratitude and provide them with food.

Furthermore, they could control the nation of Yi. On the one hand, they could provide food for the country of Yi, and on the other hand, they could control the country's development. This way, they wouldn't need to fear raising tigers anymore.

However, this plan was up to her alone. Whether or not she could implement it would depend on how Yuchi Xuan chose.
