Elder Sister Xiao.

Once upon a time, someone seemed to have called her that.

But she could not remember who that person was or what he looked like.

Only this voice sounded very familiar.

The concern in her voice made her feel safe.

The nightmare, the terrible things, seemed to haunt her with the deep male voice, to drift away from her.

After an unknown period of time.

Light shone from the chaos, and it felt as if his strength had returned to his body …

Xiao Ruyue suddenly woke up.

His eyes were lifeless as they left his nightmare and chaos. His entire body seemed to have collapsed as he began to sweat profusely.

"You're finally awake." Yuwen He heaved a sigh of relief.

Xiao Ruyue's hands were tightly clenched, and her body was also pressed, causing him to be unable to move an inch.

Only then did she realise that Yuwen He was the one who was suppressing her hands and feet.

"What's wrong with me?" Xiao Ruyue heard his own voice become hoarse the moment he opened his mouth.

"You had a nightmare and almost strangled yourself." Yuwen He released her and helped her sit up, "Are you feeling better? Sit down, I will ask Yin Lin to prepare a calming tea for you. "

Xiao Ruyue nodded, she did not even have the strength to talk anymore.

Yuwen He stood up and opened the door, after telling him something, he did not leave. It was Fang Weiyong who left.

Yin Lin entered to take a look, then left. Not long after, four young eunuchs came in with a bathtub. Behind them were seven or eight maids carrying hot water.

This battle in the middle of the night was getting out of hand.

After preparing the hot water, everyone else left.

Yuwen He also followed him out. Soon after, Lu Yi came in and took a bath with Yin Lin.

In the end, Xiao Ruyue rejected Yin Lin and Lu Yi's help and let them leave, sinking into the hot water herself.

It had to be said that Yuwen He was the one who thought it through thoroughly.

After soaking his exhausted body in hot water, he felt much more comfortable. It didn't feel that bad anymore.

His mind was spinning, and his eyelids felt heavier and heavier. Unknowingly, Xiao Ruyue had lost consciousness.

When she woke up again, she was dressed in the middle clothes as she laid in Yuwen He's embrace, sleeping well.

She was clearly taking a bath. What happened after that?

Xiao Ruyue made a slight movement and woke him up.

"Don't move, sleep well." Yuwen He's voice was low and filled with magnetism, lingering in Xiao Ruyue's ears.

Her heart inexplicably thumped once. This sound would cause anyone to sink into depravity.

"I …"

"You made Yin Lin and Lu Yi not wait on you, and you fell asleep in the bathtub." Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Yuwen He gave her the answer.

Apparently he knew what she wanted to ask.

Xiao Ruyue was speechless.

Yuwen He held her tightly in his arms, "Don't think too much about it, sleep well. I'm still here for the biggest thing in the world. "The sky won't collapse."

Perhaps it was because his words were too deceptive, perhaps because the sound itself was hypnotic, or perhaps because she was too sleepy, but before long, she had fallen asleep again.

In the dark night, Yuwen He hugged Xiao Ruyue tightly. Only at such a distance would he feel at ease.

Elder Sister Xiao, don't worry.

I will never let anyone hurt you again.

He slept till he woke up naturally.

The blinding sunlight roused Xiao Ruyue from her sleep, she subconsciously stretched out her hand to block the sunlight.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yi's teasing voice was heard. "Empress, if you don't wake up soon, you won't even need to eat lunch."

Lunch?

Xiao Ruyue's brain suddenly woke up and sat up, "What time is it?"

Lu Yi was startled by her sudden abnormality, but she still replied, "It's already been a quarter of an hour."

"Where's Yin Lin?"

"Sister Yin Lin went out earlier. Didn't you tell Big Sister Yin Lin to go to the Wei Wang Mansion to see the wangfei today? " Lu Yi was completely confused.

"What about your highness? Is he coming to invite the Phoenix Palace for lunch? "

"I can't explain it. It should be the same as before." She was inexplicably happy when the mention of His Majesty came to mind.

When the princess was bullied at the palace, she didn't have a good time as a young maid.

But she always remembered that the princess was in a good mood. She had always been brought along when they left the fire pit at the palace. She sincerely hoped that the princess could live a good life.

Since the princess had married into the Western Xia, it didn't matter what the reason was in the beginning. As long as His Majesty truly liked the princess, then the princess could find a true backer for her.

Thinking of this, Lu Yi couldn't help but be secretly happy.

It was unknown what Xiao Ruyue was thinking as she was indulged in her own fantasy. After a while, she instructed her, "Help me wash up.

Xiao Ruyue had just finished washing her face and had just finished changing her clothes when Yin Lin came back.

She carefully reported on the situation in the Duke Palaces and said, "Wei Wangfei's complexion looks very good. The Wei Wangfei that this servant saw before, has already completely recovered to its former state, and seems to be even younger. "

Younger.

Xiao Ruyue carefully considered these few words, and thought of what Liangqiu Yayin had said.

In order to make Yao Ziyan believe that she had innate skills, Ye Haitang did not hesitate to use such a short-lived method to let Yao Ziyan regain her youth in the shortest amount of time.

However, Yao Ziyan didn't know that it would cost him many years of her life to speed up the accumulation of the poison in her body.

"What about King Wei? Did he do anything? " Xiao Ruyue asked again.

"King Wei has repeatedly reminded me to pass on my gratitude to you." Saying this, even though the imperial physician couldn't help, he'd already accepted the esteemed empress's intentions. He had to enter the palace and pay his respects to the esteemed empress in person so that he could express his gratitude to her in person. "I couldn't get out of it today, so I specially prepared a generous gift of gratitude to show my sincerity."

Yin Lin said as she pointed to the two big boxes behind him.

She emphasized the four words, "Be careful of what you say."

Xiao Ruyue immediately recognized it.

"The King of Wei insisted that this servant keep it. This servant can't refuse, so I'll take command on behalf of the Empress." I hope that the Empress will not blame us. "

Xiao Ruyue shook her head and laughed: "Open it and see what's inside."

Yin Lin handed over the list of gifts in both hands and then opened the chest to count.

As he opened the box, he saw many different sized brocade boxes inside.

Opening them one by one, one could see how precious the treasures inside were.

The four long and narrow brocade boxes contained the four paintings of Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum that were originally hung in the main hall of the Mansion of the King.

There were several brocade boxes the size of a palm. When they were opened, they were round jade pearls with an extremely beautiful luster, as well as the extremely rare South Sea Night Pearls.

There was even a thousand-year-old precious bronze beasthead, Bronze Lord.

There were also various kinds of jade pearl jade jewelry made from agate jade.

An ordinary person would not be able to take out such a valuable gift of thanks.

Xiao Ruyue's mouth hid a hint of coldness. She closed the gift slip and laughed as if nothing had happened: "Since it's Uncle Wei Wang's good intentions, then I will accept it. Yin Lin, you will personally be in charge of filing it into the treasury, you cannot be lacking even a single one. "

Yin Lin nodded, she retrieved the list and placed the two boxes of gifts inside.

Yuwen Chenglian's intentions were not only to get drunk, he even said that he wanted to pay a visit to Xie En personally.

Not long later, the lunch was ready, but Yuwen He had not come.

Xiao Ruyue let Lu Yi go to the imperial study to take a look. As soon as Lu Yi went out, she met Yuwen He's attire and came back together with her.

As Xiao Ruyue had already slept to a point of time, she did not have any breakfast, so she specially prepared a light and refreshed lunch today, and even prepared the appetizer Beauty Nourishing Soup.

Xiao Ruyue could not help but look at Yuwen He.

As a husband, Yuwen He was considerate and considerate. He released someone by her side to help her deal with this problem. He helped her solve it both openly and covertly, taking care of everything that happened to her extremely well.

He was a husband who simply couldn't be more perfect or competent.

However, she still felt guilty towards him.

Unspeakable identities and secrets would be the biggest problem between them.

Yuwen He, between you and me, it is impossible to be the youngster that I accidentally met and saved.

Once I get my revenge, I'll think of a way out of this place.

I am not your good man.

You deserve a better woman.

The thought in his mind caused ripples to appear on the surface of the new lake. The originally sweet and tasty soup had an additional bitterness to it.

"What's wrong? Is today's lunch not to your liking? " After sensing Xiao Ruyue's abnormality, Yuwen He stopped to take a look.

Xiao Ruyue's hand paused for a moment, before she drank the half bowl of soup and smiled at him as if nothing had happened, "This soup tastes really good."

Yuwen He's unfathomable pair of pitch black eyes flashed, and a deep sense of meaning swiftly flashed past the depths of his eyes.

But his expression flashed, Xiao Ruyue was not able to catch him and disappeared.

He took some meat and vegetables and placed it in the porcelain bowl in front of Xiao Ruyue, then said with a smile: "Eat a little more, you're too skinny."

Xiao Ruyue then gulped it down, and said no more.

Afternoon, the sun was shining.

The flowers in the imperial garden were at their peak and gradually withered away.

After Yuwen He went to busy himself with his affairs, Xiao Ruyue also found time to finish looking through a stack of papers that were presented by the Palace Chief. After that, he took advantage of the good time to take a walk.

Within the imperial garden, there were a few maids busily watering the flowers. From time to time, however, one could hear whispers, and upon seeing the empress, they quickly retreated far away.

Xiao Ruyue began to doubt: Am I ugly?

"I really can't tell that the Xiao Shang Shu is that kind of person. Why do you think he would do such a thing? "

"That's right. He is usually polite and elegant. No one would have thought that he would actually do such a thing. You can't judge a book by its cover! "

At the corner, there were fake mountains that blocked their view. Some palace maids even thought that they were borrowing the natural protective screen to speak freely.

Xiao Ruyue heard and stopped in her tracks. Beside him, Yin Lin's face changed.

What they said was right. Xiao Shang Shu, was that what they meant by Jing Yu?

Just as Xiao Ruyue was about to quickly turn around and ask for the details, she saw a small palace maid dressed in light green palace attire jump out from the corner — —

"Don't spout nonsense! Lord Xiao is usually polite to us when he sees us, with his status and position, why would he need to do such a thing, it must have been randomly said by someone else! I don't believe it! "

She was so angry that she pointed at some of the palace maids in discussion, and her eyes turned red.

Xiao Ruyue's face sank, and turned to look at Yin Lin, "What happened outside the palace?"
