"Every time I see her, she always shines like this." Xiao Ruyue pretended to be envious and exclaimed.

No matter how he looked at his face and innocent eyes, he seemed innocent and without any threat.

A trace of hatred flashed across Yao Ziyan's eyes, what she hated the most was Situ Min's innocent and innocent look!

What right did she have to be born and become a delicate princess in the imperial household? She could become an empress without doing anything, and she didn't even need to do anything to capture a man she couldn't think of?

Why!

But she covered it up well and replied as if nothing had happened, "The empress is still so young at the prime of her youth and has yet to put on her makeup. That's why I'm so envious of her." It's good to be young. "

Xiao Ruyue was not wrong about her expression, but she pretended to not see it, and smiled: "Who is never young before? If they can be as young and beautiful as Princess Hua-Yang when she is in her thirties, then they would truly be fortunate."

She also stepped on Yao Ziyan's leg again without leaving a trace.

Yao Ziyan's gaze immediately sharpened.

I want to strangle Xiao Ruyue!

Xiao Ruyue raised his eyes and looked into hers, and in that instant, the coldness in his eyes increased by a hundred times.

Two cold lights shot towards his face, catching Yao Ziyan off guard. He felt his heart stop, and involuntarily shivered.

This felt extremely similar to the first time Situ Min entered the palace!

The two images in Yao Ziyan's mind overlapped, and she felt a chill behind her back.

However, this was only for a split-second.

In the next moment, Xiao Ruyue retracted all of her emotions.

In the blink of an eye, Yao Ziyan's vicious and cold eyes had disappeared without a trace.

Could it be an illusion?

Yao Ziyan's heart still had lingering fear.

Xiao Ruyue laughed and invited Yao Ziyan to the side hall for a chat.

In the secondary hall.

On the table, there was a bronze censer with a faint fragrance coming from it. It was a very pleasant smell.

Xiao Ruyue drank Yao Ziyan's wine as if nothing had happened and talked about the matter of the Imperial Consort Ye and the other concubines inviting the Phoenix Palace to cause trouble. Yao Ziyan replied as she observed Xiao Ruyue's attitude.

The first time was an illusion, so there was no reason for it to be an illusion this time.

But no matter how you looked at it, this Situ Min seemed like a somewhat arrogant, but not very shrewd, Royal Princess.

She was well versed in royal etiquette, but she also had a temper. Furthermore, she wanted to monopolize her husband. She didn't seem like a woman with that kind of gaze at all.

After observing for a long time, Yao Ziyan was unable to get the answer she wanted, so she changed his focus.

Yao Ziyan said, "The Empress is born with a natural beauty and is extremely talented. She was doted upon by the Sovereign, so the other concubines in the palace are both jealous and envious."

Xiao Ruyue blinked and said in an unconvinced tone, "Your Majesty likes one of my concubines and isn't willing to go to another concubine's place. It's because they don't have the ability, can it be that they can't blame it on me?"

Strictly speaking, she entered the palace a day earlier than me. If His Majesty liked her, he would naturally favor her, but His Majesty didn't even look at her, which proves that she didn't do well. Blame it on where did this palace come from? "

"So you're saying that the empress has her own methods for being a sovereign?" Yao Ziyan quickly figured out the meaning behind Xiao Ruyue's words.

However, she did not know that Xiao Ruyue had meticulously prepared this for her.

"That's hard to say. I've been treating His Majesty wholeheartedly, so His Majesty can naturally see through my sincerity. However, I do have a trick up my sleeve! "

Xiao Ruyue said as she paused for a moment. Then she looked around nervously, as if trying to keep Yao Ziyan in suspense.

After she brought the tea and snacks over, she left. Even Yao Ziyan's maid, Cai Wei, was sent out.

At the moment, only Xiao Ruyue and Yao Ziyan were in the house, and no one was around.

After confirming that no one would hear, Xiao Ruyue then took out a glass bottle that was slightly bigger than a thumb.

"Wangfei, please take a look: this is something the empress dowager bestowed upon me when I was married. It has miraculous effects."

"What magical effect?"

"Naturally, it's to make His Majesty unable to leave my side." Xiao Ruyue said complacently.

However, both of his eyes had been observing Yao Ziyan's reaction the entire time.

Based on Yao Ziyan's current situation, she really needed something to solve her difficult situation.

Especially after she was poisoned by the "One Night Old One" previously, Yuwen Chenglian had personally seen her become old and ugly, and now, he was completely unwilling to touch her. She desperately needed something to save her man.

Yao Ziyan was startled, a look of greed flashed past her eyes as she took the glass bottle and looked at it carefully.

However, no matter how hard he tried to figure it out, he couldn't help but pull out the cork and smell it.

A fresh fragrance wafted into his nose. It seemed to be a little cold, but other than that, there was nothing unusual about it.

"Princess, this thing only works on men." Xiao Ruyue pretended to be nervous and immediately took the bottle back and put it in the red bottle, "Moreover, this thing is very expensive, and is very hard to find. "Don't waste it."

Yao Ziyan unconsciously narrowed her eyes when she heard that, and probed: "But I don't know what this is?"

Xiao Ruyue treated this bottle like a treasure, leaving half of her sentence hanging.

"I can't tell you the secret." Xiao Ruyue said as he kept the glass bottle.

Yao Ziyan was even more sure of her suspicions now. "The empress relied on this item to stay all night and invite the Phoenix Palace for lodging?"

"Princess, what nonsense are you spouting?" Xiao Ruyue pretended to be confused.

Yao Ziyan covered her mouth and acted like she had accidentally misspoken and kneeled down. "This subject shall die, this subject has misspoken.

Xiao Ruyue coldly snorted, "If anyone else were to hear Wei Wangfei's words, what did I become?!"

"Please forgive me esteemed empress, this official's wife really made a slip of the tongue." Yao Ziyan said with an innocent tone, but his eyes were fixated on Xiao Ruyue's sleeve, which was holding the glass bottle.

Xiao Ruyue feigned a cold expression and called out: "Lu Yi."

"What orders does the Empress have?" Lu Yi entered.

"I didn't rest well last night, so I'm a bit tired. Send Wei Wangfei out on my behalf. "

Just as she was about to ask Yao Ziyan to go out, Xiao Ruyue called out to her, "Wait."

Lu Yi and Yao Ziyan both looked towards Xiao Ruyue, only to see her looking at him coldly and coldly.

"Wei Wangfei, please leave your gold plate behind."

After sending Yao Ziyan off, Xiao Ruyue stretched lazily.

From now on, he no longer had to play the innocent role in front of Yao Ziyan.

Meeting again in the future would not be as peaceful as it was today.

What she did today was to make Yao Ziyan feel that she was enraged that her true face had been exposed, and wanted to cover it up.

If she said half of her words, it was enough for Yao Ziyan to guess the purpose of the glass bottle.

What Yao Ziyan would do next, was definitely to find a way to get the exact same thing as the one in the glass bottle.

If Yao Ziyan wanted to find Ye Haitang, no matter which palace she was in, it would not be able to trap Ye Haitang, even if there was someone monitoring him around glazed pavilion day and night.

She naturally had a way.

She made Ye Haitang copy and find someone to spy on her just to make her feel disgusted, that's all.

Yao Ziyan, I really look forward to the scene when you get that thing in your hands.

"Niang Niang, you're right. Can Wei Wangfei figure out what you want her to find?" After sending off Yao Ziyan's master and servant, Lu Yi came back, showing her distrust towards Yao Ziyan's intelligence.

Xiao Ruyue poked her forehead, and said: "Don't underestimate Wei Wangfei. In terms of using evil techniques to flank others, we are not comparable to her. Besides, she has a backer, doesn't she? "

"That's true. She doesn't understand that she has backstage help. Empress, you're so smart! " Lu Yi nodded, as if she suddenly came to a realization.

Xiao Ruyue spread out her hands. "I didn't do anything."

Yin Lin walked in, glanced at Lu Yi, and laughed: "The Empress sure is a good plan, she didn't say anything, but said everything. That two or three words was enough to make Wei Wangfei have wild thoughts."

"To the extremely intelligent lady Yin Lin, these words did not sound like a compliment at all." Xiao Ruyue shot her a glance, and said unhappily.

Yin Lin let out a "puchi" and said, "If it wasn't for the fact that Yin Lin personally witnessed it, she would have thought that Your Majesty was bewitched by the Empress."

That was why he couldn't see anyone in front of him and only cared about one empress.

Xiao Ruyue rolled her eyes at the sky, and smirked: "Seems like I'm being too lenient to you, to actually dare to come and make fun of you all. Why not, I let you all go to the glazed pavilion? "

Yin Lin and Lu Yi looked at each other and immediately became quiet.

Xiao Ruyue's guess was right.

Ye Haitang thought that it would definitely not be a difficult thing to leave the palace.

Yao Ziyan left a signal that she wanted to see Ye Haitang before she left the palace. After it got dark, Ye Haitang left the palace and returned to Cigarette Water Pavilion.

"Why are you in such a hurry to find me? You didn't know that the wind in the palace is blowing so fast, did that Situ Min already suspect me? " Ye Haitang was angry at Yao Ziyan.

This time, Yao Ziyan was full of confidence, and was not afraid. She flattered: "Senior Master, today, disciple discovered a secret of Situ Min."

As he said this, he had a complacent look on his face.

"What secret?"

Yao Ziyan then told Ye Haitang what happened in the Phoenix Invitation Palace.

After Ye Haitang heard this, she fell silent for a good while. With furrowed brows, she muttered to herself, "No wonder she was poisoned by 'gatekeeper sand' back then. It seems like this Situ Min is not an easy target either."

"What does Martial Uncle mean by this?"

"All along, I had thought that Situ Min had an expert helping him, and it seems to be true. As you say, she has more than what you saw this afternoon. It is enough to see her feeling guilty that you exposed her true colors and she angrily drove you away and took back your gold medal. "

Ye Haitang said until here, and laughed coldly, "I still think that she, Situ Min, has some ability! I never thought that a dignified princess of the East Mausoleum would have to rely on this kind of method in order to get the emperor's favor! "

After Yao Ziyan heard her words, she immediately guessed, "Then, have you not used any medicine on His Majesty before?"
