Only when she saw Yuchi Chen did she stop. She believed that no one could escape from his grasp.

At this moment, Yun Ruo Lu was in the middle of Fei Yan and Yuchi Chen. She could not escape, so she could only observe the situation while trying to think of a plan.

Although her internal force had greatly increased, Yun Ruo Lu, who had never practiced ancient martial arts, could not guarantee that she could defeat both Fei Yan and Yuchi Chen at the same time.

In a moment of desperation, Yun Ruo Lu could only bite the bullet and say, "I'm just a rapist, why do you need to chase me so hard?!"

Finished speaking, Yun Ruo Lu took out a bag of knockout drugs that she had prepared beforehand, and waved her hand at the two of them.

Yuchi Chen waved his folding fan and dodged, and after inhaling some of it, his steps became unsteady.

Yun Ruo Lu seized the opportunity to escape. Who knew that Yuchi Chen was determined to catch up with her, not caring about her life.

Very quickly, Yun Ruo Lu was caught up once again and fought against Yuchi Chen helplessly.

Yuchi Chen showed no mercy; Yun Ruo Lu was no match for him. After a few moves, Yun Ruo Lu could feel that she was almost at the end of her rope.

At this moment, a masked man appeared out of nowhere. He held a silver longsword in his hand, and in a few breaths' time, the fight with Yuchi Chen heated up.

Clearly, Yuchi Chen was no match for the man in white. He was forced to retreat continuously. The black-clothed man didn't continue to fight and returned to Yun Ruo Lu's side. He said, "Let's go!" and the two of them disappeared into the night sky.

Arriving at a safe location, Yun Ruo only stopped to rest. She curiously looked at the man in white and asked, "Who are you?"

That person took off the black cloth on his face, revealing a faintly discernible smile. With a deep voice that carried a very pleasant charm, he said, "I've saved your life again!"

To Yun Ruo's utter surprise, this person turned out to be Yuchi Xuan!

Yun Ruo Lu was a little shocked, she couldn't believe her eyes, and even stuttered when she spoke. "Wang …" "Prince …"

"I went to your room to look for you, but I didn't see you, so I guessed that you would come to the Fragrant Sky Tower, so I came here to take a look." Yuchi Xuan said calmly.

Seeing that Yun Ruo Lu had something to say, Yuchi Xuan said, "Let's return to the palace first. We'll talk about it when we get back!"

Yun Ruo nodded her head and the two of them quickly returned to the palace.

Upon returning to the palace, Yun Ruo Lu told Yuchi Xuan all she knew, but that did not include the fact that Xue'er was Yuchi Chen's subordinate. Hearing this, Yuchi Xuan's expression became very solemn, as if he was surprised that Yuchi Chen would intervene in this matter.

However, Yuchi Xuan did not say much. He told Yun Ruo Lu to go back and rest, saying that they would be rushing back to the capital overnight.

As for the matters here, he would leave them to Huai An to continue watching.

Although Yun Ruo Lu didn't understand why she was in such a hurry, she had a premonition that a huge conspiracy was unwittingly forming.

Yuchi Xuan's guess was right. Even though the Shangguan Family had been exterminated, the mysterious organization still hadn't found what they were looking for.

Yuchi Xuan had told her that it was possible that the item was no longer in Flower City. Otherwise, it would have been taken away by the organization's men. Thus, their return to the capital wouldn't be a problem.

While Yuchi Xuan and Yun Ruo were discussing something, a guard came to report that Yuchi Chen had already started returning to the capital.

Yuchi Chen knew of the organization's next target of action, but he chose not to go back to the capital. Could it be that the organization's next target was the capital?

Yun Ruo went back to her room to rest. It was only in the evening when the guards came to inform her that they were preparing to return to the capital.

The Flower Capital was not far from the capital, so they were able to move forward without any hurry.

By the time they arrived outside the city, Yuchi Xuan had already predicted that the city gates would have already closed, and so he sent everyone to rest in one of his courtyards outside the city.

It wasn't surprising that Yuchi Xuan had a residence outside the city. Many nobles and nobles liked to build a residence in places they often went to.

By the time everyone settled down in the courtyard, it was already in the middle of the sea. If it was modern times, it would only be around 9 PM.

Yun Ruo didn't understand why Yuchi Xuan would travel all night. They couldn't enter the city now, so they could return in the afternoon or the next morning.

Just as Yun Ruo Lu was puzzled, there was a ruckus outside the door and the sound of weapons clashing could be heard.

When Yun Ruo Lu opened the door to take a look, she saw more than ten men in black descended from the sky and started fighting with the guards in the courtyard.

The men in black held the scythe in their hands, and each of their moves were aimed at the throat. Those guards whose sabers were stained with blood would have their heads rolling on the ground.

Yun Ruo Man was momentarily stupefied by the scene before her, but she quickly saw Yuchi Xuan take out his sword and join the chaotic battle.

As soon as Yuchi Xuan appeared, he was immediately surrounded by the five black-robed men. His sword clashed against the scimitars of those assassins, causing sparks to fly, appearing all the more dazzling in the dark night.

Seeing this, Yun Ruo Lu immediately rushed over to help.

Although she didn't know where these assassins came from, she knew that these assassins wanted Yuchi Xuan to die.

After a chaotic battle, although many of their men had died, the assassins were still unable to gain an upper hand. Seeing that they had the help of experts, the assassins quickly retreated after suffering losses.

Yuchi Xuan's left arm was slightly injured, but it wasn't too bad.

YunRuo Lu instructed the uninjured guards to clean up the courtyard, then helped Yuchi Xuan into the room.

"Your Royal Highness, the assassin was too ruthless this time."

Yun Ruo said angrily as she applied the medicine for Yuchi Xuan. She thought to herself, "Thankfully there's no poison on the knife, otherwise it'd be even more troublesome."

Yuchi Xuan frowned. After a long period of silence, he said, "Did you not realize that these assassins were the same group as the ones that tried to assassinate you and me?"

Hearing this, Yun Ruo Lu was stunned. Thinking back carefully, he realized that this was indeed the case. Although the weapons used by the two groups were different, they all had a common characteristic, which was that their weapons were all engraved with the same pattern.

She had been so busy recently that she had almost forgotten about it.

When she just ran out of the Fifth King's Manor, she suspected that these assassins were sent by Liu Yanhan. There was a reason why Liu Yanhan killed her, but she didn't understand why Liu Yanhan wanted to kill Yuchi Xuan.

Therefore, it was very likely that her guess was wrong.

Yun Ruo Lu carefully bandaged up Yuchi Xuan's wounds and guessed, "Every time I return to the capital, Prince will be in trouble. Could it be that the purpose of these people is to prevent you from returning to the capital?"

Yuchi Xuan nodded thoughtfully. "It might not be so."

"Then Your Highness, what do you think the origins of these assassins are? Could it be... "The Fifth Prince …?"

Yun Ruo Lu probed. She wanted to know what Yuchi Xuan thought of Yuchi Chen.

Yuchi Xuan shook his head and analyzed, "No, even though there were some conflicts between me and fifth brother, we are still siblings. Moreover, Fifth Brother is not that kind of sinister villain, so it shouldn't be him. "

Yuchi Xuan looked as if he knew Yuchi Chen very well. Moreover, when he talked about the past conflict between them, his eyes showed pity and regret rather than hatred.

Yun Ruo Lu had already heard of the conflict between Yuchi Xuan and Yuchi Chen more than once, but she had never known exactly what it was. It seemed like only the two of them knew of the conflict between them, so she continued to probe. "How can this be?"

When she had asked this question, she had only asked casually. She had not expected that Yuchi Xuan would answer her. After all, this was a matter between brothers, how could they casually tell an outsider like her?

Unexpectedly, Yuchi Xuan gave her a deep look, then slowly said, "It's all because of one person! "It's my fault to fifth brother!"

To be able to turn one's brother into an enemy, that person must be a woman!

This was the first thought that came to Yun Ruo Lu's mind. At the same time that this thought appeared, a name appeared in her mind. Snowfall!

When she thought of this, Yun Ruo Man couldn't help but take a deep breath and organize her thoughts.

Could it be that Yuchi Xuan had stolen Yuchi Chen's woman, the one named Xi Xue? That was why Yuchi Chen had always held a grudge against her.

Although she didn't know why Xi Xue died later, she knew that Yuchi Chen must have vented all her anger onto Yuchi Xuan.

When Yuchi Chen suddenly discovered that she looked exactly like Xi Xue, he pushed all his hatred onto her and took his revenge.

Although Yuchi Chen hated Yuchi Xuan, he couldn't do anything to him. Therefore, he hadn't released the hatred in his heart, so much so that he held a grudge in his heart. It wasn't until he had married her that he was able to take revenge on her for all the hatred he had yet to release!

The more Yun Ruo thought about it, the more she thought it was possible. She cursed in her heart how abnormal Yuchi Chen was!

However, after calming down and carefully considering the situation, she suddenly felt that Yuchi Chen was rather pitiful.

"Cloud Travelling!" Are you okay? "

Seeing that Yun Ruo was lost in thought, Yuchi Xuan called out a few times but there was no response. Thus, he let out a loud shout, which woke Yun Ruo Lu up from her stupor.

When Yun Ruo Lu came back to her senses, she discovered that the wound she had bandaged up for Yuchi Xuan had been messed up.

"Your Royal Highness, right … "I'm sorry!"

Yun Ruo Lu realized that she had lost control of herself and looked at Yuchi Xuan in embarrassment.

Yuchi Xuan let out a helpless sigh and waved his hand. "Go ahead and rest! This King will send someone to find you if anything happens! "

Seeing how Yun Ruo and her three souls hadn't seen the seven spirits earlier, Yuchi Xuan felt a little puzzled. Every time he talked about Yuchi Chen, she would lose her composure like this.

In his heart, Yuchi Xuan was secretly suspicious of the relationship between Yun Ruo and Yuchi Chen. Although he had already guessed that relationship, he was unwilling to believe that it was true.
