After Yuchi Xuan left the study, Yun Ruo Lu quietly snuck into the secret passageway.

The secret tunnel at the beginning was very narrow, only allowing one person to pass through. After walking for a while, they would need to go down the stone staircase.

It turned out to be an underground chamber. While Yun Ruo Lu walked and looked around, she heard the rustling sounds of iron chains after she descended the stone stairs.

"Why did you come back today? Could it be that you are afraid that I will escape? "

A man's gloomy voice came from the darkness. Yun Ruo's eyes lit up the candles around her, and she was able to clearly see the situation within the secret room.

The one chained up was actually the Night Bat. Yun Ruo Ran looked at the scene in shock. Not only were the Night Bats chained up by the thick and heavy iron chains, even their ribs were chained up. It looked extremely terrifying.

"It's you …!"

Seeing Yun Ruo Lu, a trace of astonishment flashed through the Night Bat's eyes, but it soon calmed down. Perhaps it was because she was one of Yuchi Xuan's guards, so it wasn't strange for her to be here.

Yun Ruo Lu looked around the secret underground room. Actually, there was nothing in this room, other than tables and chairs, it was completely empty. It seemed to be purely for the purpose of imprisoning prisoners.

It was just a place to imprison the criminals, so why would it be set up so covertly?

"Are you all right? How did Yuchi Xuan catch you? "

With the Night Bat's skill, catching him was not an easy task.

The Night Bat snorted coldly and said angrily, "That despicable person Yuchi Xuan plotted against me. I'm afraid you don't know yet. Your every move is monitored by him, which is why he was able to find me so easily."

"You mean he already knows all about what happened in the bamboo forest that night?"

Yun Ruo asked nervously. She thought to herself, if Yuchi Xuan knew about this, wouldn't he be suspecting her already? But why did he not pierce through her and just avoid her for a few days?

"Right now, both you and Feng Er are in a very dangerous situation. I advise you to leave the palace as soon as possible!"

Yun Ruo Lu hesitated for a while. So what if Yuchi Xuan knows? She had not affected his interests, so how could he harm her?

"I know what to do. I'll let you leave this place."

After Yun Ruo Lu finished speaking, she went up to the Night Breaking Bat and sealed his martial arts with a lock on his ribs.

"No!" I can't leave now! " The Night Bat suddenly and excitedly stopped Yun Ruo Lu's actions.

"Why?" Yun Ruo asked in confusion.

"Anyway, I have a way to leave. You go back first and pretend that you don't know anything. Feng Er has already arranged everything."

The Night Bat spoke with confidence. Yun Ruo Lu hesitated and decided to trust him. In addition, if Yuchi Xuan found out that she had let the Night Bat go, the situation would probably be even more complicated.

Before leaving, Yun Ruo Lu suddenly thought of something and asked, "Prince and I met with killers outside the city tonight, are those people related to you?"

She didn't know how many people Red Calyx had brought, so she was curious.

"Don't worry, those are not our men."

After receiving the Night Bat's reply, Yun Ruo then left in peace. What she could not figure out was who would want to kill them.

Yun Ruo returned to her room, stayed up all night to write down the method to make the fireworks. Then, on this basis, she developed a small bomb as well as the smoke bomb.

All of this was very important to her, so she had no choice but to create some life-saving talismans for herself.

Two days passed by very quickly. In the blink of an eye, the day of the Emperor's birthday had arrived. The imperial city had been bustling since early morning, and there were all kinds of acrobatic troupes performing on the streets.

This was something the Emperor had specially arranged to share the joy with the people.

Yuchi Xuan entered the palace early in the morning, but the birthday banquet was held at night, so Yun Ruo Lu stayed at the palace to wait until the evening before entering.

Yun Ruo Lu brought the firework she had created into the palace to Xiangqing, and wrote a letter telling her how to use it.

Xiangqing lived in the harem, and even if she couldn't meet after entering the palace, she could only find someone to send her there.

Zi Xin busily dressed her up. She was still dressed in her enchanting red dress, but today she looked even more beautiful and enchanting than before.

In the evening, she would escort Redcalyx and Zixin to the palace, so the Prince's Mansion began to get busy early in the morning.

It was almost noon when Yun Ruo Lu saw the red calyx. At that time, the red calyx had already changed. It stood silently in the yard looking at the garden full of floating petals.

From the side, the scene looked extremely beautiful, making people unable to bear to break it.

Before she entered the palace, she had something she wanted to talk to her alone, so when Yuchi Xuan wasn't around, Yun Ruo came to the west wing to find her.

"We're entering the palace to serve the emperor tonight. Are you nervous?"

Yun Ruo Lu walked in front of Red Calyx and asked with a smile that was not a smile.

"I didn't expect you to come and see me at this time. It's just serving a man, what's there to be nervous about."

Red Calyx's tone was a bit lazy, like a kitten that hadn't woken up yet. She had an indifferent look on her face.

Yun Ruo Lu smiled faintly. She didn't expect that her attitude would be so good. It was just that that man wasn't an ordinary man, but she was still able to remain so calm.

"I've already seen the Night Bat."

After a long time, Yun Ruo finally said these words. It was unknown if what she said was right or wrong.

"I know. Is he okay?"

Red Calyx continued to stare at Wandering's petal, not at all surprised or shocked by what Yun Ruo Lu had just said.

However, Yun Ruo Lu was surprised that she knew about this, thinking, could it be that her prophet had already reached such a high level?

If that was really the case, then their following conversation was already meaningless, because if she wanted to say something, perhaps she already knew everything.

Seeing the conflicted expression on Yun Ruo Lu's face, Hong Zhu faintly smiled. Her smile was like a snowy plum in winter, beautiful yet bashful. It was something that one would never be able to forget just by looking at it.

Yunruo did not dare to imagine, if really send the red calyx to the palace, that would be another generation ah ah ah!

"The Night Bat is fine, but it can't move."

Yun Ruo let out a long sigh, but that was also the truth. Although the Night Bat's martial arts had been sealed, its mental state was not bad.

Red Calyx nodded, as if she was a lot more at ease.

"Redcalyx, I want to know what kind of deal you made with Yuchi Xuan."

Too many things had happened in this period of time. She suddenly felt that Yuchi Xuan wasn't as simple as she had imagined him to be. Perhaps he had never been simple, just that she hadn't realized it.

Even so, she couldn't help but want to help him.

"You will know in the future, so now is not the time to tell you."

After she finished speaking, she slowly closed her eyes and used her mind to feel everything around her.

Although she didn't get the answer, Yun Ruo Lu was not disappointed. Sooner or later, what was to come would come. Even if she knew in advance, it wouldn't change anything.

"It's getting late, we should enter the palace." Yun Ruo Lu looked at the sky and reminded.

Moments later, Yun Ruo mounted her horse, while Zi Xin and Hong Zhu sat in a carriage, everyone led the imperial guards and headed towards the direction of the imperial palace in a grandiose manner.

Roughly an incense stick of time later, they arrived at the entrance of the palace.

Today was the Emperor's birthday. The palace entrance was heavily guarded, and the people waiting to be examined had already lined up in a long line.

One of the sharp-eyed guards saw the carriage from the Third Marquis' Estate approaching and immediately went to welcome them.

"Your excellency, the Third Marquis ordered your subordinate to come here specially to receive you. The palace entrance will still have to wait for a long time. Please follow me to the north gate."

Yun Ruo Lu looked at the long line, nodded, and led everyone to the North Gate.

The north gate was specially arranged for the imperial relatives to enter the passage. As soon as Yun Ruo saw the carriage from far away, she immediately went to the Fifth Prince's estate.

Liu Yanhan had also just arrived, and beside her was the new imperial concubine, the daughter of the Book Order. As for her name, she really couldn't remember it clearly.

Yun Ruo Lu brought her people directly from the north gate into the palace. Upon entering the north gate, they had to come down to walk, while Red Calyx was carried on the palanquin by eight people. The palanquin was covered by a veil, and outsiders couldn't see anything.

Liu Yanhan was also wearing a vermillion outfit today, but compared to her, she was like a maidservant that couldn't enter the hall of elegance.

After entering the palace, Yun Ruo Lu and her men were arranged to wait at the imperial court and hall. Ordinary guards couldn't see the emperor, so the followers brought by the various palaces had to wait inside the imperial court and hall.

As for Zixin and Redcalyx, they were taken to other places by the palace maids. Thinking about the performance tonight, Yun Ruo Lu was unable to stay in the imperial court and the palace. She really wanted to join in on the fun.

The damnable Yuchi Xuan didn't even bother with her when she was asked to enter the palace. If she spent the entire night waiting in the imperial court and palace, how boring would that be?

Yun Ruo Lu planned to sneak out to play after it was dark.

It was a rare occasion to visit the Imperial Palace, and today was a special day as well. If he didn't go out and play, wouldn't that be a waste of his time?

Just as he was thinking this, he heard a tender voice from outside the hall. "Are all the guards who came to the palace here? This princess wants to go in to look for someone! "

Yun Ruo Lu listened carefully. It was actually Xiang Qing's voice. She didn't think that this little girl would think so much of her and come looking for someone here.

Hearing Xiangqing's voice, Yun Ruo Lu didn't wait for her to come in to look for him. She took the initiative to walk out and greeted her, "Princess!"

Seeing Yun Ruo Lu, Xiang Qing happily jumped up and down. She then instructed the guard at the entrance: "He is my friend, I want to bring him away!"

Although Xiangqing was only a princess, her status in the palace was even higher than that of a prince. Thus, when she spoke, the imperial guards naturally didn't dare to say anything.

Yun Ruo Lu and Xiang Qing left the court together. Xiang Qing said that she was going to bring her to the Heaven and Earth Palace. That was where the performance would be tonight.

Xiang Qing had also received the item that she had ordered people to send to the palace. Moreover, she had understood what to do. She had even placed the bamboo tube outside the Qiankun Temple by the dam.

Yun Ruo Lu was worried that she would be embarrassed if she went to the Universe Hall to meet Yuchi Xuan and Yuchi Chen. However, after thinking about it for a while, she realized there were so many people tonight that they wouldn't have the time to care about her.
