Ru Ge pinched his chin in thought, looking around he saw no one, going on the tips of his toes a little he leapt and landed on top of a tree, then after a few more leaps his figure disappeared from the golden roof tiles.
In merely the time of an incense to be burnt, Ru Ge had gone around half the palace, and had found that Guanghua palace hall the fake eunuch was talking about, from afar he saw Zi Su standing at the doors of the hall looking around, as if she was waiting for someone.
Ru Ge muttered to himself irresolutely for a moment before quickly appearing in front of Zi Su, Zi Su only noticed her sight blurring, a fog blinding her eyes, when the fog disappeared that's when she saw her mistress Ji Yu Qing standing in front of her.
Zi Su said: "Mistress don't worry, this servant has arranged everything, we just have to wait for that fool princess."
Ru Ge nodded, "Oh, the palace is heavily-guarded, you need to be careful, don't let the cat out the bag, tell me the details of the plan again, to make sure it's infallible."
Zi Su nodded, like she was confessing she spilled the entire plan, she was however puzzled as to why her mistress seemed slightly different today, but she couldn't say what at this moment.
Ji Yu Qing and Zi Su's first plan to cause a divorce was adultery, even though Ji Ling Xue was a fool, she didn't do anything wrong since marrying Xiao Yi Chen, what's more considering Ji Ling Xue's maternal family's influence, Xiao Yi Chen would not initiate a divorce.
For a divorce to take place it could only be if the wife did something wrong, for example if she violated the seven types of grounds for a husband to divorce his wife.
Ji Yu Qing had no influence in the palace, hence she found someone from the Jianghu to disguise as an eunuch and hid under the carriage, bypassing the guards at the palace gates and successfully entering the palace.
Everything was perfectly set up, sadly they had come across Ru Ge, the fake eunuch was not at all familiar with the palace and had very soon gotten lost, ultimately being knocked unconscious by Ru Ge.
And Zi Su had fallen under Ru Ge's illusion, narrating their plan systematically and in full detail.
Ru Ge: Ji Ling Xue saved my life, of course I can't just sit and watch, what's the best way to handle this situation?
Ru Ge didn't think for too long, with a strike of his hand, Zi Su fainted on the ground.
"Ji Ling Xue, I've repaid you for saving me..." Ru Ge lips revealed a rather sinister smile.

Ji Ling Xue and Xiao Yi Chen had left the empress dowager's palace only after an hour, the empress dowager was very kind, seeing Ji Ling Xue and Xiao Yi Chen `lovingly` holding hands she would give a knowing smile, she then would pick up Ji Ling Xue's hand telling her things about Xiao Yi Chen's childhood no one knew about.
Ji Ling Xue pretended to be very interested as she listened, from time to time interjecting a few words, at the end it was Xiao Yi Chen who couldn't stand the empress dowager's prattling, using the reason that the palace banquet was about to begin to pull Ji Ling Xue out the door.
Ji Ling Xue's mood wasn't bad, and Xiao Yi Chen was rather irritated, as a child he was rather a little devil in the palace, so much so it could not be told in three days and nights.
Ru Ge was already waiting outside the empress dowager's palace, seeing Ji Ling Xue he stepped forward to greet her, stealthily exchanging a look with Ji Ling Xue.
Ru Ge used his eyes to say: I've already helped you deal with the problem, you've escaped a calamity today, shouldn't my debt to you be wiped clean?
Ji Ling Xue used her eyes to reply: You are currently my personal maid, it's very normal for you to do things for me, don't think too much.
Ru Ge:...
Xiao Yi Chen frowned, even though he didn't know what Ji Ling Xue and Ru Ge was signalling to each other, he felt a little uneasy, the look Ru Ge was giving Ji Ling Xue was very strange, it didn't hold the respect a servant had to their master.
Xiao Yi Chen closely looked at Ru Ge, no matter what her tall stature was disagreeable.
Xiao Yi Chen coughed once, attracting Ji Ling Xue's attention: "It's not early, let's go, the palace banquet is about to begin." Having spoken he lifted his foot ready to leave.
Ji Ling Xue nodded, teasingly she said: "Prince is worried for younger sister? It's only been an hour, prince is already flustered.
