"Are you that afraid of him? Since you're afraid, why didn't you leave? "

"Leave? It should happen sooner or later, maybe I just haven't found a suitable time! "

Yun Ruo Lu avoided Yuchi Xuan's gaze. Actually, she felt tired, but the heavens weren't fated for her to have a peaceful life. Thus, she could only constantly make choices.

"Actually, I still miss having you around the Third Marquis. Although at that time you were just my personal bodyguard in disguise, at least we could get along like friends. Isn't it? "

He knew that for her sake, Yuchi Chen had specially gone to the Kingdom of Lanxue to welcome her. And the distance between them seemed to be getting farther and farther apart.

"Yeah, getting along like friends is pretty good. In the future, we can also continue to have this kind of relationship."

Yun Ruo Lu purposefully misunderstood Yuchi Xuan's intentions. Since they were destined to be unable to be together, she didn't want to pester him any further. Besides, he had married her sister. She didn't want her sister to be unhappy because of her.

"Heh heh, friend? Are you really treating me as a friend? "

Yuchi Xuan stared in disbelief at Yunruo. A hint of grief was hidden within his deep eyes.

"What else can we do? Third Prince, I hope that you can treat my sister well. She is a kind and good woman, so you must not let her down. "

After Yun Ruo Lu finished speaking, she ignored Yuchi Xuan and left, disappearing around the corner of the wall.

Yuchi Xuan stood there for a long time without moving. It was as if his heart had been hollowed out. He was like a puppet, his mind completely blank.

After a long while, Yuchi Xuanhan took a deep breath, his hands clenching into fists. He secretly gritted his teeth and said in his heart: "We can obviously be together. If it's just because of fifth brother, then I will make him disappear from this world!"

Upon returning to the palace, Yun Ruo Lu thought that she could do whatever she wanted without anyone knowing. Who knew that upon returning to the Plum Garden, she would run into a darkened faced Yuchi Chen.

Yuchi Chen frowned, his expression icy. He was like a creditor who was waiting for the debtor's return.

As soon as Yun Ruo walked in, she felt a strong chilling aura permeate the air. She could only look at Yuchi Chen, who was sitting on the highest seat, and feel unlucky. Nine out of ten attempts to escape, Yuchi Chen had caught her right in the nick of time.

Jinther stood at the side, her face almost touching the ground. Only when she felt Yun Ruo's return, did she raise her head. However, her expression was very strange, her eyes were filled with worry for her master.

Yun Ruo sighed in her heart as she strode into the room. Before she could speak, Yuchi Chen took the initiative to launch an attack.

"Why did you come back so late? Where did you go to relax?"

Yuchi Chen's tone was neither gentle nor fiery, but it was exceptionally cold and sarcastic to Yun Ruo Lu.

She had originally thought that with the experience of Blue Snow Nation, the relationship between them would improve. Who knew that once they returned to the palace, they would still be as cold as before.

Yun Ruo's heart was slightly at a loss. She almost couldn't understand why she would do such a thing to the person she loved for the sake of Yuchi Chen.

"Since your highness already knows, there's no need to ask any further."

Yun Ruo replied nonchalantly. She was already used to their attitude towards each other, it didn't matter if they carried on.

Seeing Yun Ruo's nonchalant expression, the originally calm Yuchi Chen was slightly angered. What was her attitude? Did they not put him in their eyes at all?

Didn't he, as her husband, even have the right to question her?

"Jinsi, step down!"

Yuchi Chen suddenly gave the order, sending a worried glance to Yun Ruo Lu. When she passed by Yun Ruo Lu, she used her lips to signal her not to anger the Prince.

As the young woman left, she closed the door behind her, causing the light in the room to dim. Yun Ruo Lu suddenly felt that even the air in the room had been greatly reduced.

"Is there something that the prince wants to talk to me about?"

Yun Ruo Lu stared straight into Yuchi Chen's eyes, her face void of any fear.

"Answer This King's question first. Where did you go just now?"

Yuchi Chen's tone was flat, as if he didn't want to argue with Yun Ruo. He just wanted to ask her about the situation.

Sensing that Yuchi Chen's tone was not too tough, Yun Ruo Lu hesitated on how to reply. Her relationship with Redbud was something that she absolutely could not let Yuchi Chen know.

"He went to see Yuchi Xuan?"

Seeing that Yun Ruo was unwilling to answer, Yuchi Chen probed, a complicated look flashing through her deep eyes.

"In the Blue Snow Nation, the Third Marquis once saved me. We were split up by the assassins, so I just went to check if he was alright, and make my heart feel a bit better."

Since Yuchi Chen had given her an excuse, she could only go along with it. Rather than letting Yuchi Chen know that she and Redbud were in cahoots, it would be better to let him misunderstand her and Yuchi Xuan. That way, it would be more believable.

Hearing Yun Ruo's admission, Yuchi Chen revealed an expression as expected. His gloomy face immediately turned dark.

"Didn't you promise This King that you would never meet him again? "Do you want to put him in prison?"

"Are you threatening me?"

Yun Ruo Lu frowned unhappily. She had already explained it clearly. Even if there was nothing between her and Yuchi Xuan, why not just visit her savior?

"Humph!" It's not a threat, it's a deal between us! "

Yuchi Chen revealed an angry expression. He had traveled thousands of miles and spent a lot of time and effort to find her in the Kingdom of Lan-Xue. Who knew that this woman would run off to meet her old lover right after she came back. How could this make him swallow his anger!

"Well, even if this is a deal between us, since I've broken the agreement, how does Your Highness want to punish me, then be direct with it!"

Yun Ruo Lu raised her head arrogantly, looking as if she was resigned to her fate, causing Yuchi Chen to be even more infuriated.

What he wanted was not to punish her, but to make her admit her mistakes in a soft voice and obediently listen to him.

However, this was a scene that he would probably never see again in his life!

"Since you are willing to accept your punishment, then this king will not spare you any face." This King sees that this Plum Garden is not suitable for you to live in. It would be better if you continue to stay by my side as a maid! "

Maybe she could only behave a little bit more if he kept her under his nose all the time.

Yun Ruo Lu did not mind, since she was already used to it, so what if she continued to be a maid?

"No problem, it's getting late. Your highness, you should go back and rest!"

Yun Ruo Lu's face was calm, not even a hint of anger could be seen on it, causing Yuchi Chen to be baffled.

"It is indeed not early anymore. Since you are This King's personal maid, shouldn't you serve This King well and change clothes?"

Yuchi Chen purposely emphasized the words' close proximity ', indicating that she should unconditionally fulfill whatever he wanted.

Yun Ruo Lu gritted her teeth, and looked at Yuchi Chen with a relaxed smile. She replied respectfully: "My prince, please wait a moment!" This servant will now go and prepare hot water for the prince! "

After saying that, Yun Ruo Lu turned and left, leaving Yuchi Chen stunned on the spot. If it were not for the fact that it was already night time, he would have thought that he was daydreaming!

However, since Yun Ruo Lu was no longer competing with him, he had plenty of opportunities to temper her spirit!

Inside the bath of the prince's mansion, it was steaming hot. Fog shrouded the area and the fragrance of flowers permeated the air.

Yuchi Chen sat expressionlessly in the bath while Yun Ruo sat behind him and massaged his back.

Yun Ruo Lu did not feel awkward bathing Yuchi Chen. She could still struggle to keep her eyes on Yuchi Chen and the other women in bed. She was already immune to Yuchi Chen's body, so no matter how much she tried to flirt with him, she wouldn't feel embarrassed.

It was precisely because Yun Ruo acted like nothing had happened that caused Yuchi Chen to feel defeated!

Did he not even have the charm to attract a woman? The woman behind him didn't react at all. How could his pride be put away?

Yuchi Chen exhaled angrily as he felt Yun Ruo's massage.

He had to admit that Yun Ruo Lu's massaging skills were quite good, especially when her soft and smooth fingers rubbed against his back, it made his body involuntarily tense up.

After a long period of silence, Yuchi Chen could no longer hold it in. "Take off your clothes and bathe with This King!"

Hearing Yuchi Chen's words, Yun Ruo Lu's body froze. Bath together? This fellow must be abnormal!

"What is it? Don't tell me you don't dare? "

Only after sensing Yun Ruo's abnormal behavior did Yuchi Chen's mood ease up a little. He was just making things difficult for her, otherwise, it would be hard to vent the anger in his heart!

"Your Highness, this servant is only your maid. I don't think I have any obligation to accompany Your Highness in the bath, do I?"

Yun Ruo Lu took a deep breath, her tone remained calm. She did not know what tricks Yuchi Chen was up to, but she knew it was not going to be a good thing.

"Humph!" In this palace, all the women are This King's people. This King wants to play with whoever he wants! "

Yuchi Chen let out a cold snort. His tone was wild and unruly, and the words he said brought out his unruly nature.

You can have whoever you want to play with, right? Aren't you afraid of getting sick?

Yun Ruo's heart was filled with dissatisfaction as she used more strength in her hands, causing Yuchi Chen to groan in pain. She almost cried out in pain.

"Prince's recent complexion doesn't look good. It's better to save some time and relax your body."

Yun Ruo Lang's bold sarcasm caused Yuchi Chen's face to turn as black as coal. To dare say that his kidney was bad, he had to show her how much energy he had!

Yuchi Chen suddenly turned and pulled Yun Ruo into the bath, locking her in place.

Yun Ruo flopped around in the water a few times, and her clothes were suddenly soaked. The wet clothes stuck to her body, revealing her perfect figure.
