"Don't know?" Yuwen He's voice rose, but no one could tell if he was happy or angry.

He Xiang was trembling with fear, her heart hanging in her throat. She didn't even dare to breathe. His back was drenched in cold sweat and so was his palms.

Only then did she realize the seriousness of the problem.

She did not even get a clear answer about the name of the person who just came. Just because he said that he invited the Phoenix Palace to deliver the item, she accepted it.

Silence.

Yuwen He looked at Xiao Ruyue, and they looked at each other, without the slightest bit of panic or guilt.

Naturally, he was not afraid at all.

Yuwen He instructed Fang Weiyong: "Fang Weiyong, take the lotus flower to the Phoenix Palace. Summon all of the servants in the Phoenix Palace and let them inspect her. Yin Lin, take charge of everything in Phoenix Palace and invite the masters of Phoenix Palace to wait for you know best, you should also go and take a look. "

"Yes, Your Majesty." Fang Weiyong flung the horsetail whisk in his hand, leading Yin Lin and Lotus Incense out.

When Lotus walked, her legs were trembling, and she couldn't even walk steadily.

After Fang Weiyong and He Xiang left, Yuwen He looked at the fake Empress Dowager and said, "Royal Grandmother, please sit here for a moment.

The fake Empress Dowager's lips moved a little as though she wanted to say something, but she swallowed her words back.

In the end, she glanced at Ye Haitang without leaving a trace.

Ye Haitang remained calm and collected.

While Fang Weiyong and the rest were walking out, the medicine boy from Imperial Physician Wang had already fried the medicine and brought it over. The servant palace girl in front of the bed fed the medicine to Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie.

Seeing that Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang had drank most of the medicine when she was unconscious, Imperial Physician Wang wiped off her sweat and heaved a sigh of relief, "Once I consume this medicine, the poison will be cured."

Fang Weiyong took Yin Lin out for a long time before he returned.

stood to the side. It was Fang Weiyong who replied: "Your Majesty, check all the people in the phoenix palace who have been invited, and wait. I didn't find the person who delivered the pastries."

"Could it be that the empress is deliberately protecting him?" The fake Empress Dowager immediately had something to say.

Xiao Ruyue laughed, but did not say a word.

It was still Fang Weiyong who said, "In reply to the Empress Dowager, all of the servants and eunuchs from the Palace of the Phoenix are recorded in the book. In the Palace of the Phoenix, other than the green girl who is with the Empress and is not in the Palace of the Phoenix, everyone else has arrived. The Inner Court can be used as a witness, there will definitely be no fraud or deception, Empress Dowager please enlighten me. "

Empress Dowager was speechless.

Now that things had come to this, it would be unreasonable to continue talking about it.

"Lotus Incense, have you really not seen that little eunuch who delivers pastries to the Phoenix Palace?"

"Yes, I have not." "But this servant didn't lie. He really did call himself …"

"It seems that this matter needs to be thoroughly investigated within the palace." Yuwen He interrupted him coldly.

Lotus was so scared that she quickly shut her mouth.

Yuwen He said angrily, "There is actually someone who dares to poison and kill people in the palace, and is even pretending to be the empress to deliberately frame us. If I hadn't verified that the empress was innocent today, people would have wronged the empress for nothing. If this goes on, what will happen in the long run! "

He slammed his palm on the table, causing the table to sway. Even the items on the table shook.

His palm was meant for the fake Empress Dowager and Ye Haitang to watch.

The fake Empress Dowager's hand that was holding the walking stick trembled, and almost dropped it. Ye Haitang stared at her coldly, and she immediately used her arms to hug him.

"This matter should be thoroughly investigated. Otherwise, the one injured today would be Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang, and tomorrow, it might be someone else, or even Chenqie." Xiao Ruyue said with certainty.

Ye Haitang said: "There are too many people in the palace to speak, and now that Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang has just redeemed her life, I am afraid it is not appropriate to be too hasty. If we're going to investigate thoroughly, we'll have to wait for another day. "

The fake Empress Dowager also agreed.

Yuwen He's face was expressionless. He pondered for a moment and said: "Tonight, so many things have happened, it is indeed not good for us to start a fight. Min Er, I will leave this matter for you to handle. Begin investigating the situation in the palace tomorrow, and you must definitely find the vicious person who faked the name of Phoenix Palace. "

"Chenqie understands." Xiao Ruyue knelt down to receive the order.

Yuwen He's heart ached for her. He knelt for a long time, and then helped her up without waiting for her to kneel on the ground.

At this point, the fake Empress Dowager no longer had anything to sing and she said, "It's already deep into the night. She then ordered her men to take him back to the palace.

Ye Haitang put on a filial face, "Your Majesty, please allow this concubine to send Empress Dowager back."

"Mn, since Empress Dowager likes you the most, you can go."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ye Haitang justifiably followed the fake Empress Dowager.

Since the others had already left, Yuwen He and Xiao Ruyue would be leaving.

Before leaving, Yuwen He instructed Fang Weiyong to stay behind and wait for some other situation, then said: "You all take good care of Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang, you must let him recover as soon as possible."

"When Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang wakes up, she will immediately come to invite the Phoenix Palace to inform us." Xiao Ruyue added.

Fang Weiyong, Huo Xiang and the rest nodded in agreement.

Stepping out of Blue palace, Xiao Ruyue didn't go well when she stepped across the threshold, and she almost tripped over the high threshold.

After kneeling for such a long time, his knees finally reacted.

Fortunately, there was Yuwen He beside her supporting her, but he did not forget to tease her: "Didn't you know about it when she didn't tell you to get up? After kneeling for a long time, your knees must have gone limp as well, right? "

"I do not wish to wear another 'look down on you and your Empress Dowager'." Xiao Ruyue glanced at him, unwilling to admit defeat.

"When did you become obedient?" Yuwen He raised his brows slightly.

"You've been acting so arrogantly for too long, now and then, be a good kid." Xiao Ruyue took it for granted.

Yuwen He burst out laughing, his eyes filled with laughter.

However, it was hard to tell whether he was laughing at her for suddenly wanting to be a child or whether he was laughing at her sudden enthusiasm that caused him to be unable to walk properly.

In the next moment, Yuwen He suddenly carried Xiao Ruyue by the waist, and Xiao Ruyue "ah" cried out in alarm, "Your Majesty, they are all watching us!"

"Why not? Do you want to limp back? " Yuwen He's tone became much colder.

Only then did Xiao Ruyue realize that he was angry.

After returning to the Phoenix Invitation Palace, Yuwen He asked Yin Lin to get some hot water and Lu Yi to take the medicine box.

Xiao Ruyue was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. "Your Majesty, I'm not that delicate."

Yuwen He coldly looked at Zhang Jun, lifted her skirt and rolled up her pants.

After kneeling for a long time, her knees were already bruised. Yin Lin brought some hot water over, and used it to heat up Xiao Ruyue's knees. Yin Lin and Lu Yi were originally going to do this, but Yuwen He refused to fake it and insisted on doing it personally.

Naturally, Yin Lin and the others did not dare to fight with their master, and could only wait quietly on the side.

The hot sweat towel was applied on his knees for a long time before taking it away. Yuwen He took the medicine ointment to ease the swelling and remove blood stasis, and gently smeared it on the affected areas.

Since Xiao Ruyue couldn't stop him, he could only allow him to do so.

"Have a good rest in bed for the next two days. Don't get out of bed and walk around." After applying the good medicine, Yuwen He warned.

Xiao Ruyue's face was filled with helplessness. "Your Majesty, it's just that my knees are a little bruised, so I'm fine."

"Your Majesty." Fang Weiyong's voice came from outside. Most likely, Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang had woken up.

"Do you really need me to tie you up with ropes before you are willing to behave?" Yuwen He said solemnly as he put down the skirt for Xiao Ruyue and left.

This was clearly to anger her to injure herself.

Even if it was a light injury, he would not allow it.

Yuwen He left with his front foot and Shen Liang entered with his rear foot. With a look of guilt, he said, "Empress, someone snuck into the Phoenix Palace to invite us. I lost them." Lowering his head, he did not dare look into Xiao Ruyue's eyes.

Xiao Ruyue paused for a moment, then ordered Yin Lin to get the small embroidered boxes on the dresser.

When he opened the embroidered box to take a look, the glass bottle had already disappeared without a trace.

"Empress" Yin Lin was also surprised.

Xiao Ruyue silenced her and closed the embroidered box.

Ye Haitang obviously had the recipe on hand, but because the ingredients were hard to find, she took a shortcut and stole it from her. Making her lose "One Night Spring Festival Gala", she, Ye Haitang, could also get things easily, having two birds with one stone.

She could have gotten this bottle of Spring Festival Gala in any number of ways, but she had used the most extreme method to lure the tiger out of the mountain.

Even though she had already guessed that Ye Haitang would probably come here to steal and guessed that it was most likely Ye Haitang who had plotted against Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie, she did not expect Ye Haitang to be so vicious.

Did she really not think much of human life?!

How could Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang be innocent?

Xiao Ruyue felt like her heart was on fire.

But her face was still calm, and she pulled out a faint smile, "You've worked hard, General Shen. I did not inform you in advance. "

Shen Liang was startled when he heard it, and looked at Xiao Ruyue: "So what you mean is, the princess had already expected this?"

Xiao Ruyue nodded and did not say a word.

Shen Liang didn't know what he should say and retreated. He was feeling a little depressed in his heart.

Xiao Ruyue also left with Lu Yi. After changing into loose clothes, she sat on the bed in a daze.

There was mint in the ointment, and it was cold at the knees.

Just like her heart.

It was also very cold.

That night, Yuwen He stayed in the Phoenix Invitation Palace as usual. But since it was already the middle of the night by the time Yuwen He returned, he felt that his surroundings had caved in while he was still half asleep. He knew that he had come back, and didn't know how to face it, so he decided to continue sleeping.

Yuwen He did not wake her up, and sighed loudly on top of her head.

So much so that Xiao Ruyue's dreams were filled with the lingering sound of that sigh.

The next morning.

The moment Xiao Ruyue woke up, she heard someone talking at the door. She recognized the voices very quickly, it was Yin Lin and Lu Yi.

Yin Lin mentioned that Blue palace's box of poisonous pastries was extremely suspicious.

"When I talk about those pastries, I get angry. I don't even have the face to say that I didn't make such an ugly pastry. "

Pausing, he continued, "And that Huo Xiang, he really doesn't know his place. He didn't even understand the situation and just randomly pointed out the evidence, saying that the Empress poisoned the King Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie. How could the Empress do such a thing?

"Be quiet, speak less. The Empress was still asleep. Don't wake up. " Yin Lin reminded her in a low voice.

After that, Emmie's voice could no longer be heard.

"Yin Lin, Green Robe, come in."

Xiao Ruyue called out to the outside and sat up on the bed.

She had been dreaming since she fell asleep last night, sleeping too deeply. She didn't even know when Yuwen He left.

Yuwen He's attitude was something that she could not let go of.

Yin Lin and Lu Yi entered together and looked at each other.

Xiao Ruyue said indifferently: "I heard everything you guys said at the door."
