So she was actually a concubine, her status was indeed not low. Yun Ruo Lu's interest was piqued, and she turned around to look at the three women.

The person wearing purple clothes in the middle should be Imperial Concubine Yu. She looked pretty good, just that she looked too young. She was only about fifteen or sixteen years old. She wasn't mature enough. To be able to become a concubine at such a young age, it must be related to his family's background.

As for the other two girls, Yun Ruo Lu looked at the ornaments on their heads and knew that they were at most a genius.

The moment Yun Ruo Lu turned around, the three people standing in the pavilion were also shocked.

Although Yun Ruo Lu was dressed simply, she was still unable to hide her peerless beauty. Especially those shrewd and astute eyes, they really caught the eyes of others.

What shocked the three of them was not only Yun Ruo Lu's appearance, but also her slightly bulging stomach. It was obvious that she was four months pregnant.

Everyone knew that the new emperor had only ascended the throne more than a month ago, so it was impossible for a new concubine to be pregnant with a dragon.

When the emperor was still a prince, there weren't many concubines serving him, but there were no pregnancies either.

The three of them were stunned for a moment, then tacitly categorized Yun Ruo Lu as the concubine of the previous dynasty.

If it was a woman from the emperor, it would be impossible for her to have a dragon embryo or such a shabby appearance. Even the palace maids attending to her were only one person.

When the three of them thought of this, they felt more confident.

At the same time, Yun Ruo Lu had also finished sizing up the three of them, and had come to the conclusion that they were only so much!

"Is this sister an concubine of the previous dynasty? How come he wasn't locked in the Madman's Tower and was playing here? "

The woman who was given the title of Imperial Concubine Yu took a step forward and sat in front of Yun Ruo Lu without any trace of politeness. She looked at Yun Ruo Lu with a haughty attitude.

Yun Ruo Lu did not know much about the imperial concubine ranking in the harem, but she knew that there could only be four concubines. The woman in front of her did indeed have the qualifications to be arrogant.

Hearing Imperial Concubine Yu's words, Jin Se's anger flared up. He wanted to reprimand her, but was stopped by Yun Ruo Lu raising her hand.

Yun Ruo Lu laughed without a care, "The Madman Tower is too stuffy. Come out to relax and return in a while."

She wasn't Yuchi Xuan's concubine, nor was she Yuchi Xuan's woman. Thus, there was no need for her to be jealous with these people in front of her.

And from her point of view, the bustling Hall of Locking Clouds was no different from the Madman Tower. It was just a different environment.

Hearing Yun Ruo Lu's words, the three women became even more certain that she was the concubine of the previous dynasty, and that she had come out of the Madman Tower without permission.

Imperial Concubine Yu looked complacently at Yun Ruo and was about to say something when a familiar voice of a eunuch suddenly sounded behind her. "The empress has arrived!"

Hearing this voice, the three women didn't even have time to raise their heads before they knelt down and greeted, "Long live the empress!"

Yun Ruo Lu also looked up to see Yun Ruo Yao wearing a golden phoenix robe and walking towards them.

That golden phoenix robe was very dazzling under the sunlight. Yun Ruo could not help but look away. It was as if every time she saw Yun Ruo Yao, she would dress up like this, and display her status as a queen with unparalleled respect!

In the beginning, Yun Ruo Yao didn't notice Yun Ruo Lu, she only saw that the weather was good today and came out to take a walk. Seeing that there was someone in the pavilion from afar, he decided to take a look.

"Sisters, please get up!"

Yun Ruoyao walked into the pavilion, graciously allowing the three women to avoid being too courteous. When she raised her head and saw Yun Ruo You sitting there, her face immediately turned deathly pale.

As for the women who had just gotten up, when they saw the empress's appearance, they were so frightened that they retreated to the side and lowered their heads, not daring to speak.

Yun Ruo smiled at Yun Ruo Yao and greeted her: "Big sister, long time no see!"

She did not get up to kneel to Yun Ruo Yao. Her current body was not convenient, so she naturally thought that between the two sisters, Yun Ruo Yao would not care about these etiquette.

However, from Yun Ruo Yao's point of view, Yun Ruo Lu's rudeness was a naked demonstration of her strength.

Ever since Yuchi Xuan had ascended to the throne, he had never been to her chambers. She had only been given the title of Empress, but had never received the favor of the Emperor.

Thus, Yun Ruo Yao had her subordinates secretly observe. Later on, she found out that Yuchi Xuan would go to a palace every night. No matter how late it was, he would always rush over.

However, she had never known who the people living in that palace hall were, to be able to hold the emperor's heart in such a manner. It wasn't until she saw Yun Ruo Lu that she realized what had happened.

No matter how much hatred and grievance she felt in her heart, she was still the empress, so she should show her majesty and authority.

"Little sister, so you've been in the palace all this time. Why didn't you send someone to inform Big Sister, causing me to worry about you for a long time?"

Yun Ruo Yao walked over with large strides, and held onto Yun Ruo Lu's hands with both of her hands. Her eyes were filled with tears as she stared at Yun Ruo Lu, looking like a deep sisterhood.

As for the three women at the side, when they heard the empress and Yun Ruo Lu call themselves sisters, their relationship must be quite deep. For a moment, they were stunned, they did not understand the identity of Yun Ruo Lu.

Imperial Concubine Yu was also secretly regretting in her heart. She was vexed over her recklessness before and thought to herself that she mustn't offend a great character.

Yun Ruo Lu just smiled and nodded. She didn't want to explain anything, because this harem had nothing to do with her.

"Sister, you should talk to the other sisters. I'm not feeling well, so I'll be going first."

After Yun Ruo Lu finished, Jin Se helped her up and the two of them left the pavilion.

After exiting the Imperial Garden, Jinxiu whispered, "Empress, why do I feel like Eldest Miss is looking at you strangely?"

Hearing Jin Se's address, Yun Ruo Lu couldn't help but remind Jin'er, "Jin'er, in the future you have to call big sister the empress. The Yun family doesn't have any other young miss or second young miss! Do you understand? "

"Oh …"

Jin Se replied with an 'Oh' and didn't say anything more.

Yun Ruo Lu naturally knew what Yun Ruo Yao was thinking. Even though they were blood-related sisters, there were still a lot of jealousy in their hearts. Who would be willing to share their husband with someone else, especially if he was the ruler of a country, and the woman who shared her husband was a threat to her position?

"Empress, where are we going now?" Did you go back? "

While supporting Yun Ruo Lu, Jin Se looked around to see if there were any more interesting places.

Yun Ruo Lu stopped and thought about it seriously. She suddenly thought of a place. That place had always been the place she was curious about, but she had no other choice.

So he said, "Go! Let's go to the Madman's Tower! "

Hearing the three of them from the Madman Tower, Jin Se's body suddenly trembled. Trembling, she said, "Empress, let's go somewhere else. That insane tower is not an interesting place."

As long as it was someone from the imperial harem, regardless of whether they were concubines or maids, they all feared going to that place. He even thought that it was a very unlucky thing to pass by.

As a result, the surroundings of the Madman's Tower were completely deserted.

However, Yun Ruo Lu knew that the Madman Tower only had a scary name, but the people inside weren't all lunatics. Those who were delirious and were locked up separately from normal people, and their positions and places of detention were also different.

Therefore, she wasn't afraid at all. She simply wanted to go there and have a look.

Looking at the final destination of the harem women, perhaps she could find some peace there.

When she was still the Consort of Yuchi Chen, she had heard from some of the old mama that the Madman's Tower was actually the safest place in the imperial harem.

Because those were all unfavoured and forever unchangeable women, they no longer had to wrangle or be jealous.

A clear-headed person could still be together in order to resolve loneliness. There were even some who were versatile and would perform and entertain each other when they were free.

If that was the case, she admired these women for being able to find joy in such a boring life.

Therefore, she had to go there no matter what.

"I'm not even afraid, what are you afraid of?"

Yun Ruo Lu teased Jin Se, and walked towards the Madman Tower as she spoke.

Jinsi quickly followed beside Yun Ruo Lu and said anxiously: "Jin`er is not afraid, Jin`er is just worried about the Empress. "The Empress is still pregnant. What if something goes wrong?"

"Don't worry. With your protection, there won't be any mishaps!"

Yun Ruo gave a happy smile, frowning in distress. In the end, she did not try to dissuade him.

It was rare for the Empress to be happy today, so how could she ruin the mood? If he were to go back and stay in his bedroom as stuffy as before, he might as well follow her wishes.

Thus, the two of them walked to the nearby Madman Tower. The Madman Tower had a total of seven floors. There was a perimeter wall surrounding it, and heavy soldiers were guarding the entrance.

"Empress, let's just watch from the outside. It's best if we don't go in."

Seeing that Yun Ruo Lu was walking directly towards the entrance of the wall, Jinther couldn't help but start to worry.

Yun Ruo Lu was not going to let it go like that. Since she was already here, it would be a waste not to go in and take a look.

"Empress …"

Seeing that Yun Ruo didn't want to listen, Jinping became so anxious that her face turned red. "Empress, this place is a forbidden area of the imperial palace. You shouldn't just casually enter."

"Is that so? I would like to try! "

Back then, in order to make her happy, Yuchi Xuan had specially ordered someone to forge her a gold medallion. She said that she could go anywhere in the palace if she saw this gold medal as if she saw the emperor. Therefore, she wanted to test whether this gold medal had the power Yuchi Xuan had mentioned.

Of course, Jin Se didn't know that Yun Ruo had a gold medal, he could only anxiously follow by Yun Ruo's side.

When Yun Ruo Lu was stopped by the guards at the door, Jinsi finally breathed a sigh of relief. She thought to herself, "Don't let them in."

Unexpectedly, Yun Ruo Man suddenly escaped from the bag she carried with her a gold medallion the size of her palm.

When the guards saw the golden plate, they immediately kneeled down and even respectfully opened the iron chains on the door for them.

This caused Jinsi to be dumbstruck. She opened her mouth, but was unable to say anything!
