A long fire slowly filled the second level of the palace, and Yun Ruo was tied to a wooden stake. She wore a very beautiful set of clothes made of silver and gold. She wore a beautiful hairpin.
She had become so beautiful that it was hard to look at, except at the firewood at her feet and around her. It seemed like it would happen at any moment.
Yuchi Kingdom. Cloudjade was an existence similar to the demoness. Today, Yuchi Xuan was going to burn Yun Ruo Lu to death. He had placed her in a strange place.
This was the boundary between the first and second level of the palace, an empty space. If both doors were closed, this would be a siege.
Yuchi Xuan stood at the top of the city gates, staring at Cloudjade. He had already had her clothes changed, and told the people of Yuchi that he was going to use the witch to worship the heavens. Yun Ruo Lu found it very funny, she suddenly became a witch. And burned alive.
"Crown Prince Nanke will not come to save you, so just give up." The words still lingered in his ears. They were the words Yuchi Xuan had said to her before she had been tied up.
No, Yuchi Chen would come to her rescue, she was certain.
He would not hide forever.
Below them were the commoners of the capital. They didn't call out to kill the witch because she hadn't been with Yuchi for the past two years, and Yuchi's days hadn't changed in the slightest.
The commoners didn't think that Yun Ruo Lu was a demoness. They only knew that the emperor was going to execute the demoness. They had only come to join in on the fun and watch Yuchi Xuan burn people to death.
However, the civil and military ministers were different. They firmly believed that Yun Ruo Lu was a demoness and that she must be burned to death. The emperor usually doted on her too much and he didn't even care about his own family.
Yun Ruo Lu did not hear the shouts of "burn her to death" from below. She only heard the commoners watching. She even heard people whispering that it was a pity to burn this woman to death because she was very beautiful.
However, there were also people who said that perhaps she really was a demoness, and also because she was extremely beautiful today.
The sun was high today, and Yun Ruo was tied up with sweat beading from her forehead due to the scorching sun. She knew that Yuchi Xuanyuan would burn her to death at noon.
She looked at the shadow on the ground and saw that it had not completely disappeared yet.
But that was about it. As expected, the shadow under her feet shrunk smaller and smaller. Noon had indeed come.
"Light the fire." Yuchi Xuan ordered.
"Wait!" At this time, a horse galloped in from outside the city. Yun Ruo thought it was Yuchi Chen, but when she took a closer look, it was Ke Yunjin. She immediately felt a chill in her heart.
"Your majesty, this isn't some demoness. Those free medical clinics and private schools in the city were opened by her." Ke Yunjin said.
Yun Ruo Lu remembered that she seemed to have done these things. She was opening a casino at the time, and then saw a father holding her child as a wager, but Yun Ruo Lu did not agree. Her casino had rules, and she could not bet on living people.
But the child said nothing, that he could not study, and that his mother was very ill. Perhaps it would be better to be sold to a rich family and be their servant, or at least have something to eat.
Back then, Yun Ruo Lu had thought of opening the infirmary and private school.
As Ke Yunjin spoke, the voices of the crowd began to boil.
"Everyone, don't listen to this person's nonsense. Today, we are the rebels!" He didn't know which of the ministers on top of the city gates had spoken.
The discussion below became even louder.
"He's not a rebel! He's General Ke, the General Ke who returned victoriously from the battle with Blue Snow!" Another person said this, and then everyone began to discuss.
Ke Yunjin had a place in the hearts of the people, so it was easy to believe the truthfulness of his words.
At this moment, Yuchi Xuan walked out. "He is indeed General Ke, but he was bewitched by this demoness and spoke on her behalf. I want to burn this demoness to death and then let General Ke return to his original state!"
Indeed, Yuchi Xuan's words were quite vicious … If Ke Yunjin was bewitched by her, then everything he said could not be taken seriously. And then he could burn himself in the open.
Ke Yunjin was eventually taken away. Yuchi Xuan personally walked down from the city gate, took the torch, and then lit the surrounding firewood. When he walked to her side, he said, "Take a look and see if Yuchi Chen will come to save you. You're about to die."
After the fire went on for a while, he did not see Yuchi Chen.
However, at this time, Yun Ruo Lu strangely smiled. She turned to Yuchi Xuanyuan and asked, "Did you know? Leaving me in the palace is your greatest mistake. "
Then, he heard explosions and flames shooting into the sky.
It turned out that Yun Ruo Lu had placed explosives in the palace. She couldn't place explosives when she was imprisoned, but there was one person who wasn't imprisoned.
That person was Yun Ruo Yao.
Yuchi Chen flew over, still holding a bucket of water. He then put out the fire around Yun Ruo Lu and untied the rope.
"How could this be?" Yuchi Xuan's face changed dramatically.
"Do you like the gift I gave you? "Yuchi Xuan." Yuchi Chen just smiled.
"When did you do this in the palace?" Yuchi Xuan's face changed dramatically. The commoners were so frightened, they ran outside.
"I didn't do this, it was done by your good Queen!" Yuchi Chen continued to laugh.
Yun Ruo Yao wore a red robe, and looked like she was wearing a phoenix crown on her wedding dress. She stood on top of the city gate tower and said: "Goodbye, the person I love the most, and the person that makes me feel most hopeless." Then she fell headlong from the tower.
At that time, Yun Ruo Lu only felt that her red wedding dress was a bit dazzling. As for the little prince, he ran over and watched his mother jump down from the tower. He was crying all the while.
He knew why his mother would jump down the city walls. This was all because of his royal father.
The imperial palace had been set ablaze, and flames were blazing everywhere. Ke Yunjin's squad had charged in and surrounded the entire imperial palace, including Yuchi Xuan as well.
"Hehe, I lost. I lost miserably. What do you want? Rivers and mountains? You can have it. " Right now, Yuchi Xuan was only laughing, but his laughter was filled with misery.
"What, you want my life?" You can have it, too, but I just want to tell you that I've always loved you. " Yuchi Xuan said.
"No, the one you love is not Aunt Yun, but yourself. You didn't even consider your mother's feelings." The little prince walked over, a small dagger in his hand. Although he was only four years old, his eyes were filled with determination, as if Yun Ruo Yao's death just now had allowed him to grow a lot.
"Do you want to kill your father?" Yuchi Xuan suddenly felt very miserable. He felt as though he was going to be killed by his own son.
The young prince stabbed the dagger into the ground. Yuchi Xuan closed his eyes, but there was no pain like he had expected. The dagger came to a halt as the little prince retracted it.
"Before mother died, mother told me not to hate royal father. She said that royal father only loved him. And she just loves her father. I love the Queen Mother, so I won't hate you. " The little prince's tears flowed out.
It was rare for a child this young to have to endure so much. Yun Ruo Lu could not help but sigh in her heart.
"I only love myself." Yuchi Xuan murmured.
"I won't kill you, but you must sign here and no longer violate the Southern Champion." Yuchi Chen dropped something.
"Alright, I agree." Yuchi Xuan bit his finger, causing a bloody mark to appear.
After he and Yunruo left, Yuchi Xuan only watched as their figures disappeared. He felt as though he had truly lost. Or maybe he never won.
Yun Ruo Lu buried her head deep in Yuchi Chen's embrace. The palace was still exploding with flames. But they held each other, because she knew that Yuchi Chen, who loved her, was back.
One year later, in the Southern Champion Imperial Palace.
"Mother, are you done cooking? Yun'er is starving." Yun'er said.
"Yes." Yun Ruo leisurely brought out a plate of strange things.
"Mother, what are you doing this for?" Yun'er looked at this strange object.
"Well, it's called a salad. It's for weight loss, you know? When you saw your mother's pregnancy, she had obviously gained weight, so you had to lose weight! " Yun Ruo Lu repeated the word 'losing weight' again.
"Mother, is losing weight important? "Yun'er doesn't know." Yun'er tilted her head as she thought.
"Of course it's important. Otherwise, we won't be able to get married." Yun Ruo Lu nodded her head seriously.
"Who else do you want to marry? "You're already married to me …" Yuchi Chen wore a dragon robe and walked over, his face filled with black lines as he looked at this woman's strange cooking. Was this food? It was basically raw, alright? Then, he took out some sauce and stirred it.
At this moment, a bell's sound shook for a moment. Yun Ruo Lu turned her head and saw her half year old child shaking the bell in his hand. She was laughing.
Then, a blue ray of light appeared. Then, Lan Yun brought along a little girl. That little girl looked exactly like Yun'er.
"I made a mistake, this is Yue Er." Lan Yun pointed at Yun'er.
"Strange uncle, your IQ really isn't high enough. You can't even tell me from your sister." The little girl beside her said.
Lan Yun smiled, embarrassed. "I think I'm taking Yue Er away."
"Is Xiangqing doing well in Xueguo?" Yun Ruo Lu suddenly asked an irrelevant question.
"Alright." Lan Yun was a little hesitant.
"As per our agreement, you can take Yue'er with you." Yun Ruo said leisurely.
"Mm …" Littlemoon readily agreed.
Yun'er came back, and Lan Yun left with Yue'er.
"Mother, Aunt Xiang never went to snow." Yun'er beamed.
"Then where is she?" Yun Ruo asked leisurely.
"In Gaoli, this is the ginseng Xiangqing sent someone to bring over. She said that you need to take nourishment after you give birth." Yuchi Xuan took out a brocade box behind him. Inside was a ginseng.
"Alright, time to eat." Yun Ruo said leisurely.
Afterwards, YueRuo Chen quietly asked Yun Ruo Lu why she was always weak and cowardly. She was very happy to hear that they were going to the Snowy Kingdom, but Yun Ruo only smiled because she told her that there would be a man in the Snowy Kingdom who would not despise her even if she grew fat. Yun Ruo Lu did not have the ability to predict the future, but Yue Er had returned to the Snow Country more than ten years ago. She had met Yue Er before, and she told her that she had found her true love. But tell them not to worry, because she's happy now.
Yun Ruo knew that Yue Er would be very happy. That was enough. However, what exactly happened in the Snowy Kingdom, that was another story.
