"Empress, what should we do now?" Are we going to the palace? "

Seeing the flustered expression on Yun Ruo Lu's face, Jin Se followed suit and said: "I heard that the Emperor was unhappy that the return to the capital was delayed."

At this moment, Yun Ruo Lu was still hesitating. After thinking for a long time, she finally thought of someone. She said to Jin Se, "Go talk to Seventh Prince over there!"

It shouldn't be too hard for her to find Yuchi Yan and bring her to the palace. She could only hope that Yuchi Yan was free!

Jinther nodded his head, knowing what Yun Ruo Lu was trying to do, and ran out in a hurry.

Yun Ruo waited in the room for about an hour before she hurried back by herself.

"Jin'er, how is it? Why are you alone? Where's Seventh Prince? "

Seeing that Jinsi had returned independently, Yun Ruo Lu had a bad premonition.

"Mother …" "Mother, Seventh Prince went to the palace early in the morning. Jin'er waited at the palace for a long time, and the servant said that the Seventh Prince might not be able to come back until night."

Jinxi panted as she turned her head back. Because she was in a hurry, her face was red and sweat had soaked the bangs on her forehead and stuck them to her face.

Yun Ruo Lu paced around the room anxiously, and said resolutely, "I can't wait here, I'm going to steal into the palace!"

Ah!" "Empress, it's broad daylight now. If the guards at the gate were to find out, it will be a heinous crime!

Jin Se looked at Yun Ruo Lu nervously, with a worried look on her face.

At this moment, Yun Ruo Lu had already started to change into a new set of clothes. The women's clothing was too complicated and would affect her performance, so she changed into a simpler set of men's clothing and tied up her hair with a ponytail.

This simple style was both convenient and refreshing. She had not done this for a long time.

"Empress …"

Jin Se looked at Yun Ruo who was changing her clothes with a sullen face, and continued to persuade her: "Can't you wait for your highness to come back and ask me about your highness' situation?"

"I might as well rely on myself!"

Yun Ruo replied snappily. If that was the case, what could Yuchi Chen possibly ask about? It would be even harder than ascending to the heavens, so she didn't hold any hope for him.

Furthermore, Yuchi Chen had been busy lately, and the delay in his return to the imperial court had caused him to be unable to settle down. She did not want to cause him any more trouble.

To what extent had it already happened, she could only personally ask her, because no one knew what was going on better than her.

"If the prince comes back before me, just say that I'm going out to buy something and will be back very soon!"

After changing into his clothes and preparing what he needed to take with him, Yun Ruo headed out of the house.

"Does the Empress think that the Prince will believe such a rotten reason!?"

She was not worried that she would be punished, she was only afraid that her mistress would be in danger.

Who knew where the group of assassins in black, whose origins were unknown, would be hiding.

"If you don't believe me, then think of a way yourself!"

As soon as Yun Ruo Lu finished her sentence, she disappeared from the Plum Garden.

To Yun Ruo Lu, entering and leaving Yuchi Kingdom's imperial palace wasn't too difficult.

She was afraid that she would be embarrassed if she met someone she knew. After all, there were only a few people who truly knew the truth about her relationship with Redbud.

If they were to be discovered, both Yuchi Chen and Yuchi Xuan would most likely be dragged into this.

Yun Ruo Lu arrived at Red Calyx's sleeping quarters with a familiar look. She looked very tired and was currently resting on her bed. When Yun Ruo Lu approached, she discovered that someone had barged in.

"Who is it?"

When Yun Ruo Lu walked to the side of her bed, she opened her eyes vigilantly. Seeing that it was Yun Ruo Lu, she relaxed.

"What is it? My arrival surprised you? "

Yun Ruo Lu asked thoughtfully, because every time she came, she would be able to predict and prepare for her.

She sat up and rubbed her temples, then slowly let out a breath and said, "If I were to tell you that I didn't know you would come at this time, would you believe me?"

Her tone was flat, her face expressionless. She didn't seem like she was joking, and she never did.

Hearing her words, Yun Ruo Lu immediately opened her eyes wide in shock, walked up to her and grabbed her hand, and asked in shock: "What do you mean? Could it be that your divine power has completely disappeared? "

When Yun Ruo Lu remembered that the divine power of Red Calyx had retreated, she didn't care about it at that time. She originally thought that she would recover in a few days. But from the looks of it, the matter was not as simple as it seemed.

Red Calyx did not say anything. She only lowered her eyes and nodded, indicating her tacit approval.

"How can this be? "Then what is your plan?"

Yun Ruo Lu nervously looked at Red Calyx. If her divine power couldn't be recovered, didn't that mean that things had already gone according to their expectations, and that no one knew what would happen in the future?

"Without divine power, I can't even contact my brothers. Now we can only take one step at a time. "

Red Calyx let out a helpless sigh. Her exhausted expression made her seem dispirited and sickly.

Yun Ruo Lu noticed that something was wrong with the red calyx and asked curiously: "What's wrong with you? "Where's the discomfort?"

"Not only do I have no divine power now, my body is also becoming weaker and weaker every day. If I don't find a way to recover my divine power, I probably won't be able to live for long in this world. "

"How can it be so serious? What exactly did you do? "

Yun Ruo Lu's face was filled with disbelief. She only knew that Red Calyx couldn't die yet! If Red Calyx died, then their plan would harm many people!

"Ruo Lu, I'm sorry. There are a lot of things that I am powerless to do right now. "

The red calyx did not answer Yun Ruo Lu's question. Naturally, Yun Ruo Lu could also see that the red calyx was hiding many things from her.

"Then what are you going to do?"

Yun Ruo Lu took a deep breath, and stared at the red calyx, but her heart was in a mess.

She had only been gone for a month, but she did not expect such a huge matter to occur in the Imperial Palace.

"As planned, but we have to be more careful and not make any mistakes!"

She spoke very confidently, as if the plan needed only to be carried out in order to be perfect.

"But, things have already deviated from our original plan, haven't they? After the Emperor wants to cripple you, does that have nothing to do with you? "

Speaking of this, Yun Ruo Lu thought of her own reason for coming to find the red calyx. After being crippled, such a huge matter happened. She naturally had to find out about it.

Although she and Redbud were temporarily on the same side, it did not mean that she would do whatever she wanted or do anything that would harm the common people.

"It was the empress who wanted to get rid of me, plotting against me time and time again. This time when the Emperor found out, he wanted to punish her. It had nothing to do with me! "

When she spoke, she seemed a bit agitated, as if she really hated this queen.

"Even so, do you think it's appropriate for the emperor to bestow you with the title?"

They knew in their hearts that they did not belong to this world. If they had not left, it would have been fine. However, if they suddenly disappeared one day, it would definitely affect the world.

As she spoke to here, she no longer spoke, revealing a sorrowful expression.

"Are you still planning to go back?" "Could it be that you've fallen in love with the Emperor?"

Seeing that the red calyx was silent, Yunruo guessed that there must be something fishy about it.

"The emperor treats me very well, but between the two of us, fate is destined to forgo fate!"

"Since you know this in your heart, why didn't you stop the emperor?" If you tell him that you don't want to be the empress, even if you cripple the empress, you can still take on other concubines as empress. "

Yun Ruo said in confusion. She didn't know what Red Calyx was hesitating about. She knew that she wasn't suitable to be the empress, but she didn't stop the emperor. Didn't she know that this would affect the court and even cause chaos?

"This matter is not as simple as you think. This time, the Emperor has chosen me as his successor, and the second is to take this opportunity to eradicate a group of disloyal forces. "Ruo Lu, let me remind you that you should be careful when you tell the Fifth Prince!"

Red Calyx had a helpless look on her face, as if she couldn't decide what to do if she said so.

"What do you mean? The emperor suspects the Fifth Prince? "

Yun Ruo asked in confusion. She knew how suspicious Yuchi Yi was. Previously, when Yuchi Xuan had gone to prison, he had suspected Yuchi Xuan of being disloyal and had never seized the military power.

This time, Yuchi Chen had returned victorious once more. With everyone's hopes, it was not impossible for Yuchi Yi to pin down Yuchi Chen.

However, how could Yuchi Chen be involved with the Emperor's affair with the Crippling Night Empress? Given Yuchi Chen's personality, he wouldn't have bothered with the disputes in the harem at all.

"Be careful not to sail for over ten thousand years. In short, you just need to be careful not to overstep your boundaries!"

"I understand!" Now that you have lost your divine power and your harem is dangerous, you should be careful. It's getting late, I should also go back! "

Yun Ruo Lu realized that there were many things that they couldn't decide, so they could only take one step at a time. Their future fate would depend on their own fortune.

After exiting Red Calyx's palace, Yun Ruo went straight back to the palace.

What was surprising was that she actually met Yuchi Xuan halfway through!

Yuchi Xuan seemed to have predicted that she would pass by and intentionally waited here. He wasn't surprised to see Yun Ruo Lu. Instead, he calmly asked, "How have you been?"

A hint of a smile appeared on Yuchi Xuan's lips. It didn't seem distant at all. However, when Yun Ruo Man saw him at this moment, she felt extremely awkward.

"Seeing that you're back safe and sound, I can finally relax. I'm in a hurry to go back now. I'll come talk to you another time!"

After Yun Ruo Lu was about to leave, she was stopped by Yuchi Xuan who said mockingly, "What? Now you want to hide from me? "

"No, you should know that I sneaked out. If you go back in time, you will definitely have to see the Fifth Prince's face again!"

Actually, only she knew that right now, all she wanted to do was avoid Yuchi Xuan.

She didn't know why, but she didn't want to meet with Yuchi Xuan alone.
