Indeed, Yun Ruo Man had said that on purpose. She didn't know why, but she felt particularly annoyed in her heart. It was as if when she said those words, she didn't know why her heart felt as painful as a needle.

Could it be that in these short few days, she fell in love with Scarlet Jade? She realized that she could still love someone. But so what? She was afraid that if she suddenly fell in love with him, she would forget her revenge, her hatred for Yuchi Chen, and the pain of losing her child.

It suddenly rained on the street, and she suddenly didn't know where to go, even though she wasn't a weak person. However, this question made her want to escape. Every day, she would think of revenge, almost turning into a puppet. All day, she felt that she was not herself, and the only thing that supported her to stay in that palace was hatred.

But today, there was someone that moved her and made her want to give up everything and follow him. Her mind was in a state of turmoil. She stumbled, feeling that she could not return to the palace. She also knew that she could not return to the palace. She had lost her composure and would easily expose herself in front of Yuchi Xuan.

She could no longer hold on as she walked through the rain to the front of the general's manor, collapsing to the ground in front of it.

Coincidentally, when Ke Yunjin returned to the manor, she saw her collapsed outside.

When she woke up, she saw Jinsi changing her towel.

"Jinsi, I'm so tired." Her first sentence was actually about this.

"Let's leave it here today, miss." Jinsi was the person who understood the bitterness in her heart the most. They had walked many days together, and now the young miss was alone for her happiness.

She felt that no matter what, she had to help her young mistress even if it was only her who got married.

Young miss is too pitiful...

At this moment, Yun Ruo Lu's mind was a little muddleheaded. She knew that she was having a fever, but she suddenly opened her eyes wide. She sat up and asked, "What time is it now?"

She looked out the window at the sunset. Even if Jinsi did not answer, she knew that it was already very late. She had come out early at noon, and now that it was so late, Yuchi Xuan was coming to eat at her own palace. She could not let her find out that she was not in the palace! Otherwise, how could he not investigate her whereabouts? He could not let him find any trace of her.

"Jinsi, I want to return to the palace …" With that, she stood up, but felt the world spinning around her.

"Miss, you can stay here for the night. You can go back after the fever has subsided." Jinsi said with a pained heart.

"I'm fine …" she said firmly.

Jin Se had no other choice, so she asked Ke Yunjin to send her back to the palace.

Fortunately, he managed to make it in time for lunch.

Yun Ruo heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, Yuchi Xuan had arrived. He would be eating with Yun Ruo Lu every day, regardless of whether she was willing to see him or not.

Every day.

"What is it? You don't like the dishes today? " Yuchi Xuan asked.

"Nope." She naturally didn't know that her face was very red due to the high fever, but Yuchi Xuan did.

"What's the matter with you?" Yuchi Xuan asked.

"What?" Yun Ruo Lu did not know where she had exposed a flaw.

"Why are you so red?" Yuchi Xuan asked.

"Nothing." Yun Ruo Lu touched her own face. Oh no, she forgot that she had a high fever. Not only that, she might not be able to hold on for long. Right now, her entire head was dizzy and heavy.

Yuchi Xuan wasn't an idiot. He could tell that her body was abnormal. He hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her hand, only to discover that it was tightly burning hot.

Then he reached out a hand and rested it on her forehead. His expression changed drastically as he shouted, "Imperial Physician, Imperial Physician, quickly call the imperial physician …"

The Imperial Jade Cloud Palace was in a state of chaos, and almost everyone in the Imperial Physician Courtyard had been called over.

But at the same time, it was also on this night that Yun Ruo Yao was slightly agitated. Her stomach hurt so much that it couldn't be passed on to the imperial physician, so Yun Ruo Yao could only send someone to report to the emperor.

When Yuchi Xuan found out about Yun Ruoyao's stomachache, he said, "I'll call the imperial physician to take a look at the empress." He didn't seem to have any intentions of going to Yun Ruo Yao's place.

He just sat by Yun Ruo's bed and was extremely anxious.

The palace maid was about to place the towel on Yun Ruo Lu's head, but Yuchi Xuan took it and gently placed it on her forehead. He looked at her flushed face before walking out and saying, "You imperial physicians are nothing but rice pails. Why hasn't Imperial Concubine taken back her fever yet?"

"Your majesty, I've just taken this medicine. It won't have any effect until at least midnight." One of the imperial physicians said to Yuchi Xuan.

"If she does not have a fever by tomorrow, all of you should raise your heads and see Zhen …" Yuchi Xuan quickly entered. Afterwards, he would always stand by Yun Ruo Lu's side, wiping off the sweat on her face.

"Yuchi Chen, Yuchi Chen." Yun Ruo Lu began babbling, calling him Yuchi Chen.

This caused Yuchi Xuan's face to turn slightly unhappy, but he still helped her wipe the sweat off her face. After calling out for a while, Yun Ruo Lu gradually fell asleep.

Yuchi Xuan stayed by her side for the whole night. On the second day, Yun Ruo Lu retreated. When she opened her eyes, she didn't have much strength left in her body, but the fever had already passed.

"The Empress has woken up." Lan Er walked in with a basin of water for washing her face.

"Lan, why did you come back?" Yun Ruo Lu did not seem to understand why Lan'er had returned. She had injured Yuchi Chen like that the day before.

"The Crown Prince told me to take good care of you." Lan'er said.

"Were you by my side last night?" Yun Ruo Lu remembered that someone was wiping her sweat after she finished doing it.

"No, last night, Yuchi Xuan was by your side. He took care of you for the entire night." Lan'er said with an expressionless face. She couldn't understand why there was a man who loved her so much, but why was she unwilling to let him go? It had to be known that the crown prince had come to the Yuchi Kingdom all for her. Otherwise, which crown prince would become an envoy visiting other countries? Moreover, it was at the moment when the Crown Prince was about to ascend the throne. Because of this, his enthronement on the throne had to be delayed. Lan'er sighed inwardly.

"Your majesty, I actually treat you quite well." Lan'er purposely said.

"Shut up …" Yun Ruo Ran only felt mockery in her heart. Would he really force Yuchi Chen to his death if he treated her well? Would it kill her child to be nice to her? To lock her up in this imperial palace, that meant Yuchi Xuan was truly 'kind' to her …

However, Lan Er didn't seem to want to shut up. Instead, she continued, "In that case, why do you want to pester your master? Do you know why I'm here for you …"

"For me?" Yun Ruo Lu felt that it was strange. Last time, Scarlet Jade said that she came here for him, but she didn't know him at all.

"You have no idea that your highness actually …" Lan'er hadn't finished speaking when the door was pushed open.

Xiang Qing came in from outside and threw herself into Yun Ruo Lu's embrace. She said, "I heard that Master is sick. Xiang Qing is very worried. Xiang Qing will bring more snacks to see you."

"It's fine, Xiangqing. Look, Master is fine." Yun Ruo Man really didn't want to make that little fellow, Xiang Qing, worry. After all, her life in the palace wasn't easy.

"As long as Master is well, it's good. Xiangqing doesn't want to stay in the palace. It's not good here at all." Xiang Qing said.

"Xiangqing, can you stay in the palace for a year? Master does not want to stay here, but perseveres for a year. " She knew that she was in trouble, but she couldn't let her leave the palace rashly. Otherwise, with how suspicious Yuchi Xuan was, once he found out that Xiangqing might be taken out of the palace, he might send someone to kill her. Now that Yuchi Xuan knew that Xiangqing knew that he had killed the old emperor, he would definitely kill her.

Although there was danger everywhere in the palace, Scarlet Jade had already stopped investigating the old emperor's matters.

For the time being, Xiangqing would not be threatened.

At this moment, Lan Yun also came. When he came in, he took a pill and said, "This humble subject has heard that the Empress has just recovered from a serious illness. This pill can perfectly help the Empress heal her body." As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Xiangqing, although his eyes were still tightly shut.

"Alright, leave your things here." Yun Ruo said leisurely.

"Your Highness, we meet again." He said to Xiang Qing.

"Mm …" Xiang Qing, on the other hand, felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy towards him.

"Alright, this humble subject will naturally return after giving the pill to you. Princess, would you like to leave with this humble subject?" A silver light flashed across Lan Yun's eyes.

"Alright, master, I'll be leaving first …" Xiang Qing didn't reject this alchemist who had only met her twice.

Yun Ruo Lu did not find it strange. They were originally related by blood, and furthermore, they had God Power. They should have some sort of connection. Didn't Red Calyx also have some sort of connection with her relatives last time?

However, from the looks of it, if she wasn't wrong, their relationship should be pretty good. However, how could such a country be in danger of destruction?

Even now, she still couldn't understand whose fate they were changing. Change the smell? It didn't seem right. Although it wasn't the fate of Yuchi Xuan, which of them had it changed?
