"What are you thinking about?"
Yuwen He's voice came out without warning.
Xiao Ruyue was shocked by her words and regained her senses. She looked up to see Yuwen He standing in front of her, looking at her. There were still some doubts on her face.
Xiao Ruyue shook her head, she then helped the table to stand up, "Why is His Majesty back?"
"Naturally, it's to accompany you to have lunch." Yuwen He held her hand and laughed lightly, "You don't want me to tire my body out from working so hard on national affairs, like forgetting to eat and sleep, right?"
"Yes, no matter how important national affairs are, we still have to eat our fill before we have the strength to pay attention to Li Shu." Xiao Ruyue said with a smile in her eyes.
These words made a certain lord feel extremely satisfied. He happily pulled Xiao Ruyue's hand and pecked her on her lips, before feeling satisfied and holding her hand as she walked out. "Come, let's go eat. Only when your stomach is full will you have strength. "
Xiao Ruyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
During the lunch, Xiao Ruyue mentioned this along the way: "I want to sneak out of the palace in the afternoon to go to Xiao Mansion."
"Why?" Yuwen He's hand paused.
It wasn't that he was paranoid, but that Min Er was too concerned about the Xiao family.
She did not hesitate either and said, "I want to see the Xiao Mansion's madame. "Moreover, the Imperial Examinations are coming up soon, so I want to go out and see the world."
Yuwen He hesitated for a moment, then said: "Bring Yin Lin and Shen Liang along."
His words had no tone of command, but they were unquestionable.
Xiao Ruyue nodded.
Stealthily leaving the palace meant that she could not bring any guards. Losing any guards was equivalent to putting her in danger.
After thinking about it again and again, Xiao Ruyue decided to wake up Big Sister Ya Yin after eating.
Yuwen He was about to go for a nap after finishing his meal. Originally, Xiao Ruyue wanted to take a short nap, but when Lu Yi suddenly went over and whispered a few words into her ear, Xiao Ruyue dispelled that idea.
She said a few words to Yuwen He and then left together with Lu Yi.
Before she left, Yuwen He had even pulled her back and said: "Go quickly, come back quickly." As he spoke, he indicated the empty seat beside him.
Xiao Ruyue could not help but blush, and said in a soft and pampered voice: "Shameless."
Lu Yi knew that her master and the king were here to help them, so she decided to wait at the door.
Only after waiting for a while did Xiao Ruyue come out.
In the study room, Yin Lin and Cai Yin were waiting. Yin Lin quietly waited at the side, but Cai Yin still knelt on the ground, not daring to raise her head.
"Empress —" When Cai Yin saw Xiao Ruyue, she cried. She knelt on the ground and wailed.
Xiao Ruyue frowned slightly, but did not say a word after he sat down.
Ever since Cai Yin came last night to report about the accident at the Blue palace, she had been hiding her face and not daring to meet anyone. Even today, no one had seen her.
Cai Yin herself couldn't hide anymore and came out.
However, she had a lot of things she wanted to ask Cai Yin, and it was right at this time that Cai Yin came out.
After Cai Yin cried for a while, she slowly said: "If there's anything you can't say, why are you crying?"
Cai Yin's back stiffened and her movements slowed. As she slowly raised her head, she said, "Empress, I …"
"Enough! I am not here to see you cry! " Xiao Ruyue was finally angry. With a cold scolding, Cai Yin immediately scared the tears and wails away.
"You can't say it, I'll speak for you." Xiao Ruyue said coldly, "You are very familiar with a certain someone in the glazed pavilion, so you accidentally leaked out my habit of hiding something in a hidden embroidered box and not letting anyone touch it, right?"
Cai Yin's eyes opened wide in shock as she nodded her head repeatedly.
From the looks of it, she wanted to ask, "Empress, how did you know?"
"You accidentally leaked it again, saying that someone had sent poison food to me in the name of His Majesty last time, is that right?"
Cai Yin nodded with tears in her eyes.
"Alright, I understand." Obtaining such an answer from Cai Yin, Xiao Ruyue was already very satisfied.
"But Niangniang, your servant's mouth was quick enough to cause Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie to be poisoned, and you were plotted against and robbed. Your servant deserves to die--"
Cai Yin cried like rain, she kneeled on the ground and kowtowed, "This servant deserves to die, I beg the Empress to punish me!"
Xiao Ruyue gave Yin Lin a glance, and Yin Lin stopped him.
"Since you understand that this matter started because of your quick mouth, then I will put on my crime and gain merits for it." Yin Lin said.
He was still not able to say, "If the Empress wanted to punish you, would you have waited until now?"
Cai Yin pressed down onto Cai Yin, and stared blankly at him.
"Go back." Xiao Ruyue waved her hand and said: "Remember, there have never been any brocade boxes in my chambers, nor are there any glass bottles."
"Yes, yes." This servant will remember. " Cai Yin kept replying and was brought out by Lu Yi.
Only Xiao Ruyue and Yin Lin was left in the study room.
"You've met the Mrs. Wang. What did she say?" Xiao Ruyue looked at Yin Lin and asked.
Yin Lin shook his head, "As you expected, Mrs. Wang is very concerned about Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang, but when she said that she would let Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang stand together with you, she showed a very strong rejection. But luckily, she was not as certain as that it was the Empress who did it. "
"Yes, as expected. Even though I am a queen, in the end, I am still a princess of the East Mausoleum. In the eyes of the people of the Da Xia Empire, I am just a foreign guest with no foundation in the Da Xia Empire. Aside from the protection provided by the Lord, there was no other advantage. The Wang family has always known that there is no way that any faction would be able to survive after so many years, and the Mrs. Wang was also known to be shrewd, so she would not let go so easily. "
"Yesterday's matter has already been clearly proven by His Majesty to be innocent. Mrs. Wang knows very well that suspicions are useless, so even if she had doubts in her heart, like a lotus flower, I wouldn't easily say it out loud. On the contrary, she would even console her own daughter so that Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie wouldn't think too much about it."
"Then why did you …" She even sent a servant to ask. Yin Lin muttered in her heart, but she did not say it out loud.
But even if she didn't say it, Xiao Ruyue could guess what she was thinking.
"It's one thing if she doesn't agree, but it's one thing if we throw ourselves at her." Xiao Ruyue's mouth formed a faint smile, but his smile was unfathomable.
Yin Lin looked at Xiao Ruyue. Logically speaking, since she and the Empress had been together for so long, the Empress had never intentionally kept things from her. She should have been able to see through Xiao Ruyue, but the more they got along, the more difficult it was for her to see through the Empress.
Sometimes she was naive, sometimes she was complex, sometimes she was scheming, sometimes she was shrewd, sometimes she was unbelievably kind.
Are women of royal descent such complex personalities?
Of course, she didn't dare to ask this question. She could only wait silently by the side.
After a while, Xiao Ruyue snapped out of her thoughts, and instructed Yin Lin: "Take care of Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang, the poison has been cleared, but she is injured. I still need her in the future, don't treat her badly."
"Yes, Empress." Even Yin Lin could not figure out what Xiao Ruyue was thinking, she could only remember what Xiao Ruyue had instructed him to do.
In the glazed pavilion.
Ya Nuo came back from outside and said to Ye Haitang: "Master, let the people from Phoenix Palace know that there is nothing over there. From last night until now, they haven't found any news at all. Could it be that they haven't found out? "
"What do you know!" Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Ye Haitang cut her off coldly, "How could that bitch Situ Min not notice that such an important thing has been lost? It's just that she doesn't dare to say anything. "
Ya Nuo bit her lips, not daring to reply.
Ye Haitang then muttered to herself: "If she lost this thing, she would only be at a loss of words. I think she wouldn't dare to go around blabbering. "At least she's sensible."
Ya Nuo nodded, she did not dare make a sound.
Ye Haitang tightly clenched the glass bottle in her wide sleeve as an extremely evil smile emerged from the corner of her mouth.
Situ Min, I really have to thank you for bringing this "One Night Spring Festival Gala".
Very soon, I will be using Yuwen He.
Didn't you boast of being a pampered harem? Didn't you rely on His Majesty's pampering of you to look down on everyone?
I'd like to see how you look after your loss of favor.
I am really looking forward to that day!
It was just past noon, not even the beginning of the day.
Xiao Ruyue took off the complicated palace attire and wore the men's attire. This time, the clothes were different from the last time she wore the silver colored flowery robe that she wore to visit Xiao Jingyu in the Sky Prison. It was a green colored gown that normal people would wear.
The weather was warm and warm, and he was no longer wearing his undershirt by two layers. The girl had a wide robe that concealed her exquisite figure. She wore a pair of short boots and held a folding fan that was painted with the words "Splashing Ink Mountain and Water". She looked like a handsome scholar.
He was no different from a scholar who went to the capital to take his exams.
Yin Lin, Lu Yi and the rest were all stunned once again.
He knew that his empress looked good, and he also knew that she was dressed in men's clothing. However, every time she did so, she would be astounded.
Speaking of the empress, she wasn't the most gorgeous type, but her eyes were extremely intelligent, suffused with spiritual Qi. Anyone who caught a glance of her couldn't help but want to take a few more glances, unable to shift their gaze away.
"Empress, if you go out like this, I'm afraid you'll bewitch many young girls who have just had their first love." Yin Lin ridiculed, "This servant is afraid that when we return, we will follow a large group of tails."
The fan in Xiao Ruyue's hand lifted up Yin Lin's chin, and laughed unrestrainedly and arrogantly: "Little big sis dares to tease this Young Noble, you sure have guts."
"This little girl doesn't dare." Yin Lin pretended to be bashful, lowering her head and pleasing to the eye.
The people in the room burst into laughter.
After Xiao Ruyue thought about it again and again, in the end, she did not wake up Big Sister Ya Yin.
That's right, there is also the indispensable Guard Captain Protector, General Shen Liang Shen.
Shen Liang was in charge of driving the carriage. The carriage left the palace unhindered and headed straight for Xiao Mansion.
What Xiao Ruyue did not know was that after she happily changed into her clothes and left the room, Yuwen He would actually appear in the Phoenix Invitation Palace.
Even Liangqiu Yayin who was supposed to be resting had woken up.
"Miss Liangqiu called us here specifically because you have something to say, right?"
"Your Majesty has made it clear that this humble girl does not wish to hide some things from you. Both Ye Haitang in the glazed pavilion and the elegant couple in the Wei Wang Manor are eyeing Min Er covetously. It's too dangerous for her to travel alone, I hope that the king can arrange an additional guard for her. "
