"I didn't expect a little girl by the empress's side to be so skilled. Truly admirable." Yao Ziyan obviously hated Lu Yi to death, but he still praised her with a smile.

"She should be proud that the Prince praised her so highly." Xiao Ruyue smiled and instructed without changing her expression, "Lu Yi, since the Duke and Princess Wangfei all like the pastries you make so much, you can go make yourself a snack. I'll wait for the prince and the princess to take them back when they leave. "

"Yes." Lu Yi happily accepted the order and left.

The way Prince Wei looked at her made her scalp tingle. This move of the Empress's was really useful.

No one expected the empress to do this.

Yuwen Chenglian snapped back to reality in an instant, his focus returning to Xiao Ruyue's body as he secretly clenched his fists.

However, Xiao Ruyue, who was sitting on the seat, innocently invited them to have a tea with his tea.

When Yuwen Chenglian and Yao Ziyan left the palace, Xiao Ruyue gave back the snacks that were made by Lu Yi as a present. She even gave Yao Ziyan a special box of water powder as a gift in return.

Once he returned to the Duke Palace, Yao Ziyan casually threw the water powder that Xiao Ruyue had given him onto the dressing table.

The best cosmetics in the world all came from the Cigarette Water Pavilion, which is to say, the Red Sleeve House.

What's so special about others? What's more, it was made from the Queen's own flowers.

"Who knows if the things she makes will work." Yao Ziyan said in disdain.

At this time, within Phoenix Palace.

Xiao Ruyue was still fiddling with the flowers that she got Lu Yi and the others to collect, the raw material of the rouge water powder were the petals, she wanted to grind the petals to make something that she could rub onto her face.

She did not dare to casually use the items from the Cigarette Water Pavilion.

"I'm afraid your good intentions will be wasted."

Yuwen He appeared silently behind Xiao Ruyue, scaring her so much that she almost hit herself.

Your Majesty, do you know that people scare people to death?

Yuwen He said with an innocent face, "I didn't know that you would have such a huge reaction."

Xiao Ruyue glared at him when she heard him, and panted a few times before she recovered, "It's not time yet for dinner, so why isn't His Majesty busy in the imperial study inviting the Phoenix Palace?"

"Zhen was busy last night until dawn, and I haven't rested for an entire day today. Didn't the empress know how heartbroken she felt for her husband?" Yuwen He hugged her from behind and said coquettishly.

Xiao Ruyue's face was red to the ears like a thunderbolt.

Yuwen He, what are you doing?

"When Your Majesty is tired, she can go rest. Chenqie is still busy right now." Xiao Ruyue said stubbornly.

"No, I want you to accompany me."

Xiao Ruyue was struck by lightning again.

"I missed you after not seeing you for half a day." Yuwen He tightened the arms around her and whispered into her ear. His voice was low and magnetic, as though he could captivate her heart.

His chest was pressed against her back, and there was no gap between them. She could even feel that Xiao Ruyue didn't dare to move at all from his coughing.

"Your Majesty, others are still watching." When are you going to carry her?

Could it be that the alcohol from last night had not passed?

Yuwen He did not make a sound, and just continued to hug her, his lower jaw pressing against her neck.

Ambiguous, yet warm at the same time.

After a long time.

Just when Xiao Ruyue was about to do something, Yuwen He suddenly relaxed his hand.

"I heard that you gave your specially made cosmetic powder to the Wei Wangfei."

"Yes." There was no need to deny this.

"How could she fancy the things that she's used to using in the Cigarette Water Pavilion? There's no need to waste your efforts in vain. If you want to help others, you have to see whether they appreciate your kindness or not. "

Xiao Ruyue was startled, then came to a realisation, "So there was nothing that escaped Your Majesty's eyes."

How could she forget that she had Yin Lin, the person most loyal to her master?

What Yin Lin knew, was equivalent to him knowing.

Thinking about it again, Yao Ziyan's matter could not be considered a secret.

"But your highness, how did you know that I gave her this special powder to help her?"

"Isn't it?" Yuwen He raised his voice.

Xiao Ruyue took the chance to struggle free of his embrace, and slipped out the door, revealing a sly smile at him, "I'm not telling you."

With that, he swiftly ran away.

In order to make it convenient for him to mess with her petals, Xiao Ruyue had changed his clothes on purpose.

Yuwen He saw that she was escaping faster than a rabbit, and couldn't help but find it funny.

When Xiao Ruyue ran out, she was too fast to look in the direction, so she directly bumped into Shen Liang.

Shen Liang came out from Liangqiu Yayin's room. No one knew what he was thinking, but he was in a daze.

He was knocked down by her.

Xiao Ruyue couldn't react for a moment.

When did the General Shen become a paper paste?

"Is the General Shen alright?"

"This humble subject is unharmed." Shen Liang quickly got up, his face blushing red, "Niangniang, this humble subject is lacking in manners."

Seeing his abnormal reaction, Xiao Ruyue subconsciously looked at Liangqiu Yayin's room, and revealed a look of understanding.

"General Shen is."

"Nothing, nothing at all."

Without waiting for Xiao Ruyue to finish speaking, Shen Liang immediately waved his hand, as if he was afraid that she would say something, "Empress, I still have some matters to attend to, I will be taking my leave."

After saying that, he disappeared like a wisp of smoke.

The legs of a martial artist were indeed fast.

"Actually, I didn't say anything." Xiao Ruyue found it extremely funny.

Shen Liang felt guilty for doing such a thing.

With a turn of her feet, she walked toward Liangqiu Yayin's room.

"Sister Ya Yin, it's me." She knocked on the door.

"Come in." A calm voice came out from inside, where Xiao Ruyue entered the room. When she closed the door, she saw Yuwen He walking over, so she casually bolted the door.

Liangqiu Yayin was still reading. She signaled Xiao Ruyue to sit down and started flipping the pages.

"Why did you want to find me? Didn't your husband come back? "

"What did General Shen tell you earlier?" Xiao Ruyue did not answer the question.

At this moment, there was still curiosity and curiosity on her face.

Liangqiu Yayin sighed, "It's nothing, I was just telling him that it's impossible for him and me."

"You're all quite well."

"Others might not know me, but you do? You can even say that. " Liangqiu Yayin sighed again.

"Others might not know, but I do know that you're not old, so what does it matter if you're a bit older than him?"

Liangqiu Yayin gave her a deep look before passing the inky slip of paper on the table to her. "These are all things that you need for Yue Xiangtong Gu, I'll have to trouble the empress to prepare them."

"This …" Xiao Ruyue glanced at it, her expression a little awkward. "The scorpions, centipedes, spiders, these are all poisonous insects. Elder sister, are you sure? "

Liangqiu Yayin nodded solemnly. The words "Do I look like I'm joking?" were written all over her face.

"Fine." Xiao Ruyue took a deep breath, "I will be ready. But I have another request. I hope that Big Sister Ya Yin will not reject me. "

"You can't refuse a presumptuous request. Are you deliberately making things difficult for me?" Liangqiu Yayin laughed, as if he had guessed her motive.

Xiao Ruyue's eyes flashed, and lowered her voice even more firmly: "Can I, learn medicine from you?"

Even though Yuwen He, who was standing outside, had his ears strained, he was still unable to clearly hear what they had said in the end.

After a long while, Xiao Ruyue opened the door and naturally stuffed the paper slip back into his arms. "Your Majesty can do anything, these are all necessary things to treat Prime Minister Yue's illness. I'll have to trouble Your Majesty to prepare them within two days."

Yuwen He picked up the slip of paper and looked at it, his expression was a little wonderful.

However, he quickly passed the slip of paper to the youth called Chong Yue. "I'll give you a day and a half, what the Empress wants."

Chong Yue's face was filled with black lines.

Mistress, you can't do it yourself.

With so many scorpions, centipedes, spiders, toads, snakes, where would I go to find them?

There was no justice at all!

But his master didn't care about his mental breakdown as he strode off to chase after the empress.

"Min Er, I have something I need to discuss with you."

Xiao Ruyue sped up and quickly closed the door.

"Bam!" His Majesty, who was a step too slow, slammed the door pitifully.

"Min Er, I just want to rest. Will you open the door? "

"Opening the door?" From the door, came Xiao Ruyue's clear and smiling voice, and in the next moment, it was turned into disgust, "Not good."

Half an hour later.

Fang Weiyong instructed everyone to place the dishes for dinner on the table.

His Majesty sat anxiously for the time it takes an incense stick to burn, but the empress didn't open the door. Thus, he simply gave the order that the dinner would be early today.

Although the Empress Dowager had spoken first, the ancestor rules could not be broken. But, firstly, the Empress Dowager was fake, and secondly, His Majesty never played his cards according to common sense. If even the Empress Dowager could not control his Majesty, what would the servants dare to say?

Furthermore, tonight's meal was not in the usual shirt hall, but there was a table placed in front of Xiao Ruyue's door.

The six dishes came together. Yuwen He counted the dishes on the table, picked them up one by one and tried them out.

The tempo of seduction was too much.

Lu Yi covered her mouth and snickered. Being glanced at by Yin Lin, she found it embarrassing to laugh.

However, Fang Weiyong had already turned his head away.

Yuwen He, on the other hand, was completely addicted to the explanation. Not only did he explain the taste of the dish, he also recited the method to prepare the ingredients in detail, to the point where he even needed to reduce the amount of salt and oil.

Xiao Ruyue could only feel an itch in his heart when she heard it.

Just as she could not hold it in anymore, a young eunuch ran in hurriedly from outside the hall, and said in a flustered manner, "Xiao Shang Shu has been poisoned, his life is at stake."

Xiao Ruyue could not sit still any longer, and immediately opened the door and came out.

In these two days, Xiao Ruyue had arranged for Ripple to go to the Sky Prison to bring Xiao Jingyu food, and this young eunuch had been guiding the way for her.

The people who were invited to the Phoenix Palace were all the elders under Yuwen He's command, so they could be trusted.

Yuwen He's expression changed when he heard it, "Fang Weiyong, I'll send the imperial physician over to the Sky Prison."

Fang Weiyong naturally did not dare to be negligent as he ran out of the Palace of the Invitation.

"Tell me all about the Xiao Shang Shu being poisoned." Yuwen He instructed the young eunuch.

Xiao Ruyue and the rest immediately headed to the Sky Prison.

There were also people who had taken action against Jing Yu in the Sky Prison. This person was not only bold, but he also had the power to cover the sky with one hand.

This matter, was most likely related to Yuwen Chenglian and the others.

Xiao Ruyue was burning with anxiety.

"Jing Yu must be alright. This is the only inheritance of the Xiao Clan."
