Wicked Prince’s Abandoned Wife - C233

However, this thought was dispelled by Yun Ruo Lu’s next sentence. This was because Yuchi Xuan’s next sentence was, “I didn’t expect you to still be alive. Yuchi Chen …”

Yun Ruo knew that Yuchi Xuan came to the Imperial Palace to rescue Yuchi Chen because he thought he was still alive. Only then did Yun Ruo Lu heave a sigh of relief. Otherwise, she would be in a terrible mood. She did not want Yuchi Chen to die a second time, and she would risk her life to protect Yuchi Chen. She would rather die because of her.

She could not bear the pain of losing Yuchi Chen a second time. They were busy resisting the arrows of the archers. At this moment, Yuchi Xuan used his lightning-fast technique to move to Yun Ruo Lu’s side and then brought her away.

“Poison arrows for archers …” Yuchi Xuan said.

“No, you can’t do this …” Only now did Yun Ruo Lu know that the arrows were not meant to kill them, but simply to distract them. Then, he could take Yun Ruo Lu away, and use the poison arrows to kill Scarlet Jade.

The arrow emitted a green light under the moonlight. Clearly, this was a type of poison that had been used to seal the throat of blood. Yuchi Xuan was very determined, so adamant that Scarlet Jade had no room to escape. If this person was really Yuchi Chen, he would have gone all out to kill him. It was just that this person was Scarlet Jade.

This was probably something Yuchi Xuan hadn’t expected, right? However, even if it was Scarlet Jade, she couldn’t let him die. She had a faint feeling that if she let him die, she would regret it for the rest of her life.

She used all of her internal energy to break free of Yuchi Xuan. Yuchi Xuan had not expected her to do this. The moment the poison arrows were shot out, Yun Ruo You used her body to block them.

“If only …” He didn’t seem like he was going to kill Yun Ruo Lu, but those poison arrows would kill him if he touched even a little bit of them. No matter how much he tried, it would be useless.

Just at this moment, a sword danced in front of them and blocked those poisonous arrows. What a soul-stirring event. Just a little bit more and those poisonous arrows would have shot towards the two of them.

Another masked man dressed in black stood in front of them and sprinkled a handful of powder on the ground. By the time Yun Ruo Man had regained her senses, she had already tossed out a smoke bomb. By the time Yuchi Xuan had regained his senses, they were long gone.

A few of the guards who had surrounded them had also died. It seemed as though they had fled in that direction.

“Your majesty, should we continue chasing after him?” someone asked.

“There’s no need to chase, they’re hiding in the royal palace and can’t be chased.” Yuchi Xuan said.

Yun Ruo Lu was indeed brought to an impossible place. They had been brought to the former Jade Cloud Hall and now that Pill Refining Pavilion, this place was extremely safe.

The person who had saved them was obviously Lan Yun.

The masked man took off his veil. As expected, this man was Lan Yun. He took off his black clothes. Unexpectedly, he revealed his undergarments.

“Why did you save us?” Scarlet Jade said.

“Just consider it as a favor to me this time, I’ll get it back next time.” Lan Yun told them. They then looked at them nonchalantly and said, “You guys should leave quickly. It’s not good to stay with me.”

Yun Ruo Lu and Chi Yu could only return to their own residence.

She had already changed her clothes and fallen asleep. When Lan’er saw that she had returned safely, she let out a sigh of relief. “Is His Highness okay?”

“I’m fine.” Yun Ruo Lu gave a simple answer and fell asleep on the bed.

The next morning, the person who had come was Yuchi Xuan. It seemed as though Yuchi Xuan already knew that she was the one who had gone to prison last night, although she hadn’t lifted her veil.

“Where is Yuchi Chen?” The first thing Yuchi Xuan said upon entering was to Yunluo.

“Your Majesty, I don’t understand what you’re saying at all …” Yun Ruo Lu also replied.

“I’m telling you, I’ll definitely find Yuchi Chen. He murdered the Emperor, and when he finds me, he’ll execute him immediately …” Yuchi Xuan said.

“Who murdered the Emperor?” Yun Ruo Lu gritted her teeth and said.

“Don’t think that I don’t know that you frequently leave the palace, but from today on, don’t even think of taking another step outside. I have already replaced the guards of the palace gates.” Yuchi Xuan said to her.

However, Yun Ruo Lu did not agree with it.

After Yuchi Xuan left, she sat down. For the past few days, she hadn’t gone anywhere. In any case, the training of the soldiers had long since been given to Ke Yunjin.

Although Ke Yunjin was now the head of the imperial guards, he could still be considered to be in an idle position. Other than visiting the palace every morning, he was not on duty in the afternoon. Unless there was something special about the imperial guards and they needed additional manpower, who would be able to see a commander wandering around the area every day?

Thus, Ke Yunjin naturally had a lot of time to train the people she gathered.

Yun Ruo Lu was researching the immortal herbs she brought with her last time, but it seemed that oral administration of the herb had no effect on people, but she unexpectedly found out that it had no effect on people who were sick, so it had no effect on the old emperor.

However, these herbs were more effective for heavily injured people. Whether consumed or applied to wounds, the speed at which wounds healed was very fast. For example, wounds that needed three days to heal could be healed in one day.

Yun Ruo Lu changed a few medicinal herbs and mixed them with some kind of powdered Golden Sore Medicine. The effect was quite good. If it was an ordinary knife wound, it would probably heal in half a day.

Wasn’t this immortal herb’s healing ability too good? It was a pity that the production of these immortal herbs was not high, and every time she went into the cave, it would be by luck. It seemed that every time she went into the cave, the time she spent in was not fixed, and she only met one when she went in for the first time.

Therefore, she had made a few pills and carried them on her body. If she was seriously injured, it would be useful.

The next day, the one looking for her at the Fine Jade Cloud Palace was none other than Lan Yun. He came to the Fine Jade Cloud Palace and told Yun Ruo Lu that he was going on a long journey and hoped that she would be able to take good care of Xiang Qing while he was gone.

If Sang Qing continues to have nightmares, he gave her a small blue pill. Give her this, and after eating it, she will have a dream.

She hadn’t expected that he would actually be willing to help Yuchi Xuan find materials for the elixir of life. Could it be that he really wanted to help Yuchi Xuan refine the elixir?

However, every time when Yun Ruo Lu asked Lan Yun this question, he would just tell her not to talk and tell her to mind her own business.

As soon as Lan Yun left, Xiang Qing started having nightmares. Yun Ruo and LuLu had been in a bad mood these past few days. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t find out where the place where Yuchi Xuan had locked Yuchi Yann up was. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t find it.

So she decided to see Sang Qing and give her the blue pills.

Although Xiangqing’s spirit wasn’t good, she told Yun Ruo Man something very important. She had a dream in which Yuchi Yan was captured and locked up in the top floor of a tower.

Yun Ruo Lu suddenly thought of something and passed the pill to Xiang Qing. Then, she came to the Madman Tower alone. The people in the lower levels of the tower seemed to have been cleaned up quickly. There were some guards living inside, as if they were guarding the people in the highest level of the tower.

She didn’t dare to rush in, afraid of alerting the enemy.

But in his heart, he was growing increasingly suspicious. Could this Yuchi Yan really be here? There was a man in the Madman Tower. So the woman inside still had a few levels below, but she could clearly see the man inside.

She was afraid of falling into it, so she charged into it alone. However, her qinggong was impressive, so it seemed like these guards were unable to discover her presence. Then she went on to the top floor. He found out that the door was locked from the outside.

She used an iron wire to open the lock and discovered that there was indeed a person locked inside. His hands and feet were cuffed as if to prevent him from escaping.

He was a man.

The person who came to see her was a little surprised, but he immediately said, “Sister.”

“Seventh Marquis …” Yun Ruo Lu knew that this was the real Yuchi Yan. He had been locked up in this place, and seeing that he was dressed neatly, she knew that Yuchi Xuan hadn’t made things difficult for him. He had only restricted his freedom.

“I’ll get you out.” Wandering Cloud wanted to use the same method to unlock the shackles and cuffs on Yuchi Yanghong, but he realized that it was useless.

“It’s useless. The lock was designed by Special Envoy Yuchi Xuan. Unless you have a key or some sort of diamond wire to break the shackles.” Yuchi Yan shook his head.

This time, Yun Ruo Lu could only quietly go back and think of a way to save Yuchi Yan.

They all knew that if they told Yunluo to get the key, she would definitely fail. Yuchi Xuan was extremely careful behind the scenes, so he would first come to Yunluo Lu for a meal before asking people to bring the food over.

Only Scarlet Jade went to get the King Kong Silk.

The diamond wire was a very fine steel wire, but it could cut through iron weapons, but it was very rare. It would be extremely hard to acquire one. Not to mention the entire Yuchi Kingdom, not even any other countries would have it.

However, there was one person who had it. Legend had it that there was an assassin who had killed with this King Kong Silk. He had never used a blade or sword to kill people. Unfortunately, the group of killers sent by Yun Ruo Yao was related to this killer. This killer was the boss of this group of killers, but he did not participate in the assassination last time.

Scarlet Jade had killed the most elite assassins in his assassination organization, he would definitely hold a grudge against her. If she asked him for the King Kong Silk, he would definitely not agree. So they had to go after him.

Naturally, Scarlet Jade was the one to handle this matter.

Yun Ruo Lu did not expect that Chi Yu said he was going to capture the boss of the assassination organization. However, what he did was directly annihilate the entire assassination organization and even kill their boss.

He only needed three days to do all this. Yun Ruo Lu felt that this Scarlet Jade was extremely capable, to be able to do all of this in just three days.

However, on the day that she obtained the diamond silk, she saved Yuchi Yan. This caused Yuchi Xuan to be greatly infuriated. He had not expected such a thing to happen. No matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn’t understand. This place of detention should be something that no one knew about. How did Yun Ruo know about this?
