Wicked Prince’s Abandoned Wife - C217
Yun Ruo Lu suspected too, she didn’t understand why Scarlet Jade was so familiar with the palace. It was as if she had grown up in this palace.
However, he had never had the opportunity to inquire nor could he find out what had happened. Thus, this matter was left unsettled.
“It seems you are very familiar with the imperial palace. This shouldn’t be your first time in the Yuchi Kingdom, right?”
Yun Ruo Lu followed behind Scarlet Jade and asked what she had asked the same question over and over again.
Scarlet Jade turned her head to look at Yun Ruo Lu, revealing a mysterious smile in the darkness.
“I said that one day you would understand everything. “It’s just that now is not the time. If you’re anxious, you won’t be able to accomplish anything good.”
Yun Ruo Lu glared at Scarlet Jade with disdain. The day that she found out the truth was the day, she would definitely kill him.
Scarlet Jade brought Yun Ruo Lu to avoid the guards. Moreover, her speed was so fast that even Yun Ruo Lu found it difficult to keep up with her.
However, to Yun Ruo and her astonishment, the path that Crimson Jade had taken with her was enough to completely avoid Yuchi Xuan’s hidden guards.
Yun Ruo was secretly surprised in her heart. She thought, “If Scarlet Jade really wants to become enemies with Yuchi Xuan, then it seems Yuchi Xuan’s enemies are extremely powerful.”
Soon, Scarlet Jade brought Yun Ruo Lu to the southern gate that Yan Feng was guarding.
Because Yun Ruo Lu had sent someone to inform Yan Feng in advance, Yan Feng was already prepared. He deliberately ordered some of the guards to let them out, and then let them out.
Not long after they left the palace, Yun Ruo saw the carriage that Ke Yunjin had prepared for them.
The two of them got into the carriage, and the guard drove them directly to the Embroidery Manor.
It would take at least two hours to travel from the Imperial Palace to the Magnificent Embroidery Manor. Only Yun Ruo and Scarlet Jade were left in the carriage. After a moment of silence, the atmosphere naturally became somewhat strange.
Scarlet Jade sat in the carriage. From time to time, she would lift the carriage’s curtain to observe the situation outside. She seemed worried.
On the contrary, Yun Ruo Lu was extremely calm. With Scarlet Jade here, she wasn’t worried about encountering any assassins.
Although she didn’t know how powerful Scarlet Jade really was, she believed that Scarlet Jade would definitely not leave her with any potential for danger when doing things.
“Why did you come with me to the Embroidery Villa?” Aren’t you afraid of exposing your identity? ”
Yun Ruo Lu felt really bored, so she started to chat with him. After all, they were still a long way from the Magnificent Embroidery Villa, so she had to stay silent for a long time.
She originally thought that Chiyu was only planning to send her out of the palace, but she didn’t expect that he would personally go with her. If he had no purpose, then it was definitely impossible.
Hearing Yun Ruo’s words, Chi Yu turned her attention back to him, her face revealing a relaxed smile, and teased: “What is it? Are you afraid that I’ll steal your weapon? ”
“Since you are not interested in those weapons, why bother coming over yourself?”
Right now, she would not believe what Chiyu said. Even if he were to tell you the truth, there must be a conspiracy behind the truth.
“Would you believe me if I said I only wanted to protect you?”
Scarlet Jade’s tone was very serious, not like she was teasing, but it was something that Yun Ruo Lu found unbelievable.
Yun Ruo coldly snorted, but remained silent.
Seeing that Yun Ruo didn’t reply, Scarlet laughed at herself. Suddenly, she seemed to recall something. She asked calmly, “Actually, in your heart, you still have Yuchi Xuan right?”
When Chiyu asked this question, although she seemed very calm on the surface, she was actually a bit nervous inside, as if she was probing.
Yun Ruo Lu turned her face away from the window. The faint moonlight shone on the left side of her face, giving people a gloomy and sorrowful feeling.
When she had to ask who was in her heart, Yun Ruo Lu suddenly felt very confused. She even felt that it was very funny, and she couldn’t even differentiate between the two of them.
When Yuchi Chen was here, she hated him so much that she wanted to escape him. In the process, she unintentionally fell in love with Yuchi Xuan.
She had thought that Yuchi Xuan would be the person she was looking for, the person who would give her safety and happiness for the rest of her life.
But in the end, it was all just a conspiracy. Once again, she became someone else’s chess piece.
When the man she hated died in front of her, and she was finally with the man she loved, she was not as happy as she had imagined.
If one were to speak of her feelings for Yuchi Xuan, aside from no longer loving her, there should still be a hint of hatred left in her heart!
Towards Yun Ruo Lu’s silence, Chi Yu naturally classified it as tacit approval, and actually felt a trace of bitterness and disappointment in her heart.
He didn’t know which side she would be on when he and Yuchi Xuan faced the next slaughter.
Perhaps they both felt that their mood was a little heavy, so they both tacitly stopped talking.
The horse carriage sped through the forest and soon arrived at the entrance of the Magnificent Embroidery Manor.
Because someone had already informed them, the two had just arrived at the entrance of the Embroidery Villa. Even at night, there were people who came to greet them.
Yun Ruo Lu and Chi Yu got off the carriage together and were brought to the manor by the person welcoming them. The manor lord did not personally come out to welcome them because he knew that a major buyer had come, but did not know the true identity of the buyer.
After entering the villa, Scarlet Jade had been following by Yun Ruo Lu’s side the entire time, observing her surroundings as she walked.
The Manor was very large. It took the two of them only the time it took to make a cup of tea to drink, to arrive at the grand hall of the Manor and meet the manor lord of the Embroidery Villa.
The manor lord was a middle-aged man. Looking at him, she seemed to be filled with dignity and grandeur, as though he was someone who had done great things.
However, Yun Ruo Lu noticed that when the manor lord saw her for the first time, her eyes were filled with astonishment and shock. She couldn’t help but suspect if the manor lord had seen through her identity.
However, in her memory, she had never seen this person and had only heard of him. Therefore, it was impossible for them to know each other, and it was also impossible for this person to know her identity.
On the other hand, Chi Yu faintly glanced at the manor lord and stopped looking at him directly, as if he was not interested in this person.
“Welcome, two guests from afar! May I know what is the purpose of such a visit? ”
There was only the manor lord in the hall, and a person standing next to him with a fan in his hand. Next were Yun Ruo Lu and Chi Yu.
The four of them were the only ones in the huge palace, so when they spoke, they felt as if the entire room was reverberating.
Yun Ruo Lu did not beat around the bush, and went straight to the point: “Manor Lord, why do you need to ask so many times? Other than the matter of the weapon, what else does the Manor Lord think there will be? ”
Ke Yunjin had always been in charge of contacting the large families and weapons. However, this time, she had told Ke Yunjin to notify the Embroidery Villa that she would be coming. Presumably, this manor lord knew that she was the real backstage buyer.
The manor lord was not angered by Yun Ruo Lu’s direct words. Instead, she looked warily at Scarlet Jade beside her.
What was Yun Ruo Lu planning to do tomorrow? She whispered to Chi Yu, “Go out and wait for me!”
Scarlet Jade really did not care about the matter of the weapon, so she naturally did not mind. She turned around and walked out of the house.
Only after the doors to the hall were closed did the manor lord open his mouth to speak again. “The Imperial Concubine has personally come. Could it be that she is dissatisfied with the weapons of the Embroidery Villa?”
Hearing that the manor lord had revealed her identity, Yun Ruo Lu was immediately shocked. She was curious in her heart how did this person know her?
And from the words of the manor lord just now, she could hear some clues, so she didn’t recklessly explain and instead set a trap for him.
“Of course! Otherwise, why would the Manor Lord think that I have to rush here in the middle of the night? ”
Yun Ruo gave a faint smile, pretending to be mysterious. The manor lord thought for a moment, then replied, “Could it be that the emperor isn’t satisfied with this batch of weapons?”
Once she said that, Yun Ruo’s mind exploded.
She now understood why this manor lord didn’t find her strange. It was because she had mistakenly believed that she had been sent by Yuchi Xuan.
However, she had never expected that the true buyer would be Yuchi Xuan!
However, she didn’t understand why Yuchi Xuan was storing up weapons. Did he know that something was about to happen?
Yun Ruo and Luoshen suddenly had a bad feeling. If Yuchi Xuan had destroyed the source of her weapon, then that meant that Yuchi Xuan definitely knew something about her buying a weapon.
But if he knew, why did he pretend not to know?
Yuchi Xuanyuan was a very shrewd person. Everything he did had its own goals and plans, so he had to be prepared.
However, when the manor lord asked this question, the unprepared Yun Ruo Man was at a loss of what to do and didn’t know how to reply.
However, in order to not let the manor lord see any clues, Yun Ruo Lu pretended to be calm and replied with silence.
The manor lord pondered for a long time before continuing to ask, “Then what does Your Majesty mean?”
Yun Ruo thought about it. Because she had previously asked Ke Yunjin to deal with the Embroidery Villa, she more or less knew about the circumstances of the Villa. She had given Yuchi Xuan all five hundred weapons she had asked for. Just thinking about it made her angry.
“The Embroidery Villa is such a big villa, yet only a few weapons were built within a month. Manor Lord, are you trying to hide it and raise the price? Or did they work in private with other people? ”
Yun Ruo Man spoke very confidently, as if she was telling him that I had already figured out your background. And then the pressure from Yuchi Xuanyuan. He wasn’t afraid that he wouldn’t be able to get an answer out of it.
Hearing Yun Ruo Lu’s words, the manor lord’s face indeed turned dark green. She replied very seriously, “Empress, do not be angry. The next batch of weapons is in the process of being forged. They will definitely satisfy your majesty’s needs in less than half a month.”
“Hmph, alright then!” You can hand over the next batch of weapons to General Ke. Right now, the Emperor has full authority to hand over the matter to General Ke.
Yun Ruo Lu planned on stealing the treasures from him. Although her weapons still had to be kept at Yuchi Xuan’s place, she could at least use the inferior ones on the market to exchange for good weapons.
At the very least, he would have to give this authority to Ke Yunjin before making his decision after returning to the palace.
