Yan Xiwan was once again driven out of the Night King's Mansion.
It was already late at night and the streets were deserted. Thinking of Chu Xuan's words "we met but didn't recognize each other", Yan Xiwan felt even lonelier than it was late at night.
I stood in front of the gate of Prince Ye's Mansion for an unknown amount of time. The vermilion gate was like Chu Xuan's cold expression, keeping everyone at a distance.
Yan Xiwan was distracted and walked forward aimlessly.
Why did this happen? She couldn't understand how she and Chu Xuan had ended up in this situation.
From now on, there is no possibility for her to marry Chu Xuan. Everything is ruined!
Yan Xiwan broke down and burst into tears. She looked up at the dark river in front of her and felt even more grief-stricken. Without thinking, she raised her leg to jump in.
"Miss Yan, wait a minute!" There was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps behind her, and then two people came up and quickly pulled Yan Xiwan aside.
Yan Xiwan looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Prince Ning Chu Zhen who had arrived with his men.
Chu Zhen walked to Yan Xiwan's side with a worried look on his face and whispered, "Miss Yan, why are you doing this? Why do you have to risk your life for someone who doesn't love you? You are so stupid!"
Yan Xiwan cried miserably and said, "What do you know! My biggest wish in this life is to marry Chu Xuan. Now everything is over, all over!"
Chu Zhen was already fed up with the hysterical Yan Xiwan, but thinking that there were still things she needed to do later, she had to condescend and calm her down.
"Miss Yan, things are not at the end of their rope yet. There is still hope."
As Chu Zhen spoke, he signaled his men to help Yan Xiwan up: "Chu Xuan doesn't like you because Lu Yanluo is by his side. As long as Lu Yanluo is eliminated, with Miss Yan's beauty, how can you worry about not being able to win Chu Xuan's heart?"
"Yes! That's right, it's all because of that bitch Lu Yanluo! I'm going to kill her! I'm going to ruin her reputation!" Yan Xiwan's eyes were bloodshot and she roared to vent her hatred for Lu Yanluo.
Chu Zhen was secretly delighted when he saw this. This was exactly the kind of Yan Xiwan he wanted, a woman driven by hatred who would do anything to achieve her goals.
"I have received accurate information that my father will go to the Lushan Paddock to hunt at the end of the month. All the relatives and ministers will be ordered to accompany the king, and Lu Yanluo will definitely be among them."
Chu Zhen's eyes flashed with ferocity: "Lushan is high and densely forested, and there are all kinds of people there. If you and I make a good plan, we will definitely make it impossible for Lu Yanluo to turn over."
Upon hearing this, Yan Xiwan slowly revealed a vicious smile, as if Lu Yanluo's miserable plight was already before her eyes: "Okay! I will definitely make Lu Yanluo pay!"
Sure enough, at the morning court a few days later, the emperor ordered everyone to prepare to go to Lushan Paddock at the end of the month. Chu Zhen smiled and looked at Chu Xuan behind him, with an ambiguous look in his eyes.
Lu Yanluo is Chu Xuan's biggest helper, and this time, no matter what, the two of them must be separated.
Lushan Paddock has always been the royal paddock, and soon after the emperor gave the order, he set off with everyone.
It was early autumn and the weather was a bit hot. After a long and tiring journey, everyone finally arrived at Lushan Villa after three days.
Lu Yanluo fell on her back on the bed and took a deep breath. Only then did she come back to life.
Lu Yanluo had been kept in the carriage for the past few days. Not only was she stuffy and hot, but the mere fact of having to go to the toilet was enough to kill her.
Although there was a wooden barrel in the carriage in case of emergency for the master, as a modern woman, Lu Yanluo really did not have the courage to go to the toilet in front of the maid.
So along the way, Lu Yanluo tried not to drink water unless she could. If she was really thirsty, she would just take a small sip to moisten her throat.
Although Chu Xuan knew that Lu Yanluo was unwell, he had no choice as he was accompanying the king. He couldn't just send her back to the palace.
I managed to hold on for a few days and finally arrived at the villa.
"Your Highness, you have been traveling hard. Seeing that the weather is quite hot, I have chilled some watermelon. Your Highness, please eat some to cool down."
Inside the house, Lu Yanluo heard a familiar voice and immediately stood up and walked to the door.
It turned out to be Lu Yuruo, who was holding a plate of watermelon and trying to talk to Chu Xuan.
Unexpectedly, Chu Xuan didn't buy it at all and refused bluntly: "No need."
But Lu Yuluo did not give up and still insisted: "Your Majesty, please have some. This watermelon is sweet and delicious, and it quenches your thirst."
Chu Xuan: “…”
Seeing that the situation was somewhat stagnant, Lu Yanluo pushed open the door and walked out with a smile on her face, and took the iced watermelon directly from Lu Yuluo.
"Thank you, sister. You are so thoughtful. You know I am thirsty and you are so thoughtful!"
[On such a hot day, chilled watermelon is the perfect way to cool down! Only a fool would not want it. ]
The fool who just didn’t want it: “…”
"This melon is too cold. You can't eat it."
Chu Xuan reached out to take the watermelon, but Lu Yanluo was very smart. She ducked to avoid Chu Xuan's hand and happily went into the house holding the watermelon.
Seeing this, Chu Xuan sighed and hurriedly followed in.
Lu Yuruo watched the two of them leave one after another, feeling unhappy, and it took her a long time before she turned around and left.
"Unhappy?"
Hearing the voice, Lu Yuluo turned sideways and saw that it was Yan Xiwan.
"Why are you here?"
Yan Xiwan walked slowly to Lu Yuluo's side, with a dark look in her eyes: "You don't need to care why I'm here. I just want to ask you, do you hate Lu Yuluo? Do you want to live in pain forever?"
Yan Xiwan's expression was extremely vicious, and Lu Yuluo was a little frightened for a moment, but thinking back to Lu Yanluo's annoying face just now, Lu Yanluo gritted her teeth.
"What do you want me to do?"
Yan Xiwan snorted coldly, obviously very satisfied with Lu Yuluo's choice, and then said: "I have already inquired about it. We will follow the emperor into the mountains early tomorrow morning. There will be many people and eyes. You just need to lure Lu Yuluo to a tent when no one is paying attention."
Yan Xiwan's eyes flashed with ferocity: "I will find a man in advance and wait in the tent. As long as Lu Yanluo comes in, this man will definitely let her enjoy herself! After that..."
Lu Yuluo continued with ill intentions: "Later, I will try to lure His Majesty to bring people there. Humph! When the time comes, I will see how she will defend herself in front of everyone! How can a withered woman like her be a princess?"
On the second day, the army set out. Chu Xuan and Chu Zhen led people into the mountains to arrange camps and other matters.
It was not until noon that people were sent to the palace to pick up the emperor and his many relatives and ministers.
By the time the group moved up the mountain, it was almost time for dinner.
After being bumpy for half a day, Lu Yanluo had no appetite, so she ate something casually and left the tent.
It was early autumn and the scenery outside was just right. Lu Yanluo looked around with great interest.
"Sister, why are you still here?" Behind them, Lu Yuluo ran over in a panic, "Prince Ye is injured. A horse got scared and ran into the prince. He is now unconscious in the tent at the back. Sister, go and check on him!"
Lu Yanluo's first reaction after hearing this was that there must be something fishy about this matter.
How could Chu Xuan be injured in such a short time, but he couldn't bear the worry about Chu Xuan in his heart, and finally followed Lu Yuluo's guidance and went to the tent.
