Even without her, Yuwen He would have to leave with this move.

"What does Yue Xiang think of her?" Yuwen He pointed to Xiao Ruyue.

The light from the oil lamp was naturally not as bright as the sun in the daytime, so Yue Xiang did not recognize Xiao Ruyue from the start.

He thought this was just one of His Majesty's followers.

"This is …" The empress?!

He was not only shocked because of Xiao Ruyue's appearance, but also because of what Yuwen He had just said.

"Your Majesty's meaning is for the empress to 'participate in the Imperial Examinations'?!"

Yue Xiang looked at Xiao Ruyue in disbelief.

This old scholar who had spent his entire life in the book of sages probably couldn't accept the sacred matter of a woman dressed as a man to take the Imperial Examinations, especially since this woman was the Empress.

That was why his reaction was so huge.

Yuwen He indifferently looked at Xiao Ruyue, tacitly agreeing without answering.

Yue Xiang was not close with Xiao Ruyue. When he thought of how he wanted the Empress to go to the Imperial examinations dressed as a man, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

However, the other party's order was one that was on his mind, he naturally did not dare to disobey.

When leaving the big house, Xiao Ruyue could not help but retort at Yuwen He: "Look at Yue Xiang's expression. "You have to choose me no matter who you choose."

"There is no one more suitable than you in this world."

That's the other way around. There's no one in the world more inappropriate than me.

However, Xiao Ruyue only dared to say those words in her heart. If she really said it out loud, Yuwen He would not be in a hurry with her.

It was already time to return to the palace.

Xiao Ruyue was about to change out of his men's attire and urge Yuwen He to go out, but Yuwen He refused to leave and shamelessly shouted, "Do you remember the relationship between you and me?"

"Husband and wife?" Xiao Ruyue did not understand why he suddenly asked this.

"You and I husband and wife, why are we still avoiding each other?" Yuwen He revealed an evil smile and hugged her.

Xiao Ruyue's body chilled, and all of the clothes on her body were ripped into pieces by Yuwen He's large palm.

Uh, which scene was this?

Before he could regain his senses, he was already pushed down onto the big bed by Yuwen He.

"Actually, I really don't like the way Du Ziheng looks at you. From tomorrow onwards, you will be in contact with him for a long time.

It must be because of his beastly nature.

Without any leeway for Xiao Ruyue to resist, she was completely unprepared for Yuwen He's attack.

After a night of torture.

When he woke up on the second day, Xiao Ruyue had already showered and changed into a new inner garment. However, his entire body was sore, and he tried to get off the bed, but his legs went soft and he fell onto the bed.

That big pervert!

Yin Lin brought hot water in and saw Xiao Ruyue sitting blankly on the side of the bed. She called out: "Empress, you're awake."

"Mm, what time is it now?"

"It's almost noon." As Yin Lin spoke, her gaze landed on the few bruises on Xiao Ruyue's neck, and her face blushed a little.

Xiao Ruyue felt uncomfortable being stared at by her. She stretched her head out and sat in front of the dressing table, and then looked at the copper mirror and saw the marks on her neck.

He almost vomited a mouthful of blood.

It had been so intense last night that it was hard to avoid leaving a mark. However, it was so obvious on her neck, so how could she go out to meet someone?

Yuwen He, you must be doing this on purpose!

Xiao Ruyue's face was a little hot. She cleared her throat and instructed Yin Lin: "Prepare lunch. I'm hungry."

Yin Lin immediately agreed and left.

After that, Lu Yi came in and helped Xiao Ruyue wash up and change her clothes.

In order to cover up the ambiguous mark on his neck, Xiao Ruyue deliberately chose the high necked dress. When the green clothes helped her change her clothes, the look in her eyes was extremely ambiguous.

Of course, the last thing he got was a supercilious look from Xiao Ruyue.

Xiao Ruyue was in the middle of drinking water after changing her clothes when a young eunuch's voice came from outside: "Your Majesty has arrived!"

Her hand that was holding the water trembled and nearly splashed on her body.

In such a short time, the long-legged Yuwen He had already arrived behind her and hugged her.

"Do you miss me?"

"You are shameless." After a brief moment of shock, Xiao Ruyue rolled her eyes at him, "It's only been a short while, what's there to think about?"

Yin Lin and retreated outside tactfully.

"But I've been thinking about you all morning. "If I can't even concentrate during the previous dynasty, how are you going to compensate me?" Yuwen He tightened his arms around Xiao Ruyue's waist.

"Mhmm."

"Hmm, hmph, what do you mean?"

"If you don't want to think about me, don't tell me you're planning to think about another woman?" Xiao Ruyue turned his head and glared at him.

Yuwen He grinned, "For example, that Imperial Consort Ye from before."

Hearing that, Xiao Ruyue paused, and without holding back, she stepped on Yuwen He's leg.

"Esteemed Empress must be jealous. Very good."

[What a joke!]

Xiao Ruyue took the opportunity to smash her elbow against her, causing her body to flash as she let go of her hand.

"The empress is planning to murder her husband."

"No, this is called the Eighteen Anti-Wolf Styles. From what I learned from Big Sister Ya Yin. " Xiao Ruyue smiled like a flower.

Seeing that he had obediently stayed in Phoenix Invitation Palace last night, not getting lured into the glazed pavilion by that old granny Ye Haitang, this could be considered a preferential treatment.

However, just by looking at him, her neck was full of traces of having sex. It made her feel awkward and unforgivable even if she wanted to go out and meet someone.

"Whatever my wife says." Yuwen He was not the least bit displeased. Instead, he laughed until his eyes were half-lidded.

Xiao Ruyue spat out another mouthful of blood.

What's going on with this illogical Monarch!?

After the lunch was over, Xiao Ruyue was still brought back to her sleeping quarters.

Xiao Ruyue had never planned to bother with him.

However, the emperor, who had been acting like an overlord the previous night, was now looking at her pitifully with his eyes wide open. "Darling, I didn't sleep last night. Empress Dowager, can you give me a look and take an afternoon nap with me?"

It was as if a pet that had been starved for a long time had met a kind-hearted passer-by and was stubbornly refusing to follow him.

Xiao Ruyue: Yuwen He, do you really still have the dignity and awareness of an emperor?!

Lord: If you want to hold a beauty, you can throw away your sense of propriety.

Xiao Ruyue spat out blood.

If he put on a stern face, she would still be able to argue with him, but he didn't follow common sense and didn't take the normal route!

Thus, Xiao Ruyue was shamelessly dragged by him to have a nap with Yuwen He.

Yuwen He slept soundly.

It was unknown whether it was because he had worked so hard last night to the point where it was almost dawn before he fell asleep or because he had slept so deeply due to his extremely tired body. Perhaps it was because Xiao Ruyue was by his side that he released his brows in his sleep, and his expression was incomparably relaxed.

His breathing moved up and down evenly, Xiao Ruyue leaned against his chest, and listened to his heart beat strong and powerful.

Her white jade-like fingers lingered around Yuwen He's handsome face, drawing the outline of his body. She sighed lightly, "Thank you, god for allowing me to meet you …"

Yuwen He had been sleeping soundly, but the hand around Xiao Ruyue's waist never relaxed.

After waking up from his afternoon nap, Yuwen He went to the imperial study, where Yue Yang and the other heads of the six tribes were waiting for their discussion.

Before Yuwen He left, he told Xiao Ruyue that everything outside the palace was ready, and that Chong Yang would come to bring her out.

Sure enough, right after Yuwen He left, Chong Yang came over.

Xiao Ruyue quickly changed into a palace maid's attire and brought her out of the palace wearing the same green robe. was left behind to deal with any unexpected situations that might happen in the palace.

One must know that Ye Haitang had just gotten the good stuff and was definitely looking for an opportunity to make a move against Yuwen He.

Xiao Ruyue stuck the human skin mask that Liangqiu Yayin had prepared for her on his face. The human skin mask's appearance was normal and normal, so no one would be able to remember it.

Relying on their faces, Xiao Ruyue, Yin Lin and Chong Yang walked out of the palace unhindered with their identity cards.

After getting on the car, Chong Yang drove to the east of the city.

The carriage stopped in front of an elegant Courtyard. On the door hung a gold plaque with the words "Courtyard Situ" written on it.

Lu Yi supported Xiao Ruyue off the carriage, while the butler waited at the entrance of the Courtyard and led them in.

The butler brought Xiao Ruyue to the main courtyard and smiled as she guarded the door.

Chong Yang also smiled and said: "Master, please come in and change."

Xiao Ruyue then brought her green clothes into the room. This place was completely a man's place. The bookshelves, the four treasures in the study, and the clothes in the room, were all male clothing.

Xiao Ruyue quickly picked a change in clothes and combed her hair under the delicate hands of Lu Yi. She also picked out a servant's clothes to change in.

Once they stepped out of the door, the butler led a group of servants and bowed to Xiao Ruyue.

Just by thinking about it, one could tell that this was all part of Yuwen He's arrangements.

He must have put in a lot of effort in order to make 'Situ Wu', this person who came from nothing, a real person. Amongst them, the efforts of the Prime Minister had been the most rewarding.

"Get up." Xiao Ruyue waved her hand and lowered her voice.

When the servants saw the appearance of their 'Young Master', they were all stunned.

From their expressions, Green-clothed knew that they were another bunch of superficial people bewitched by the Empress' beauty.

Xiao Ruyue's gaze swept across everyone and finally landed on the butler and Chong Yang. From the looks of it, the only one who knew her identity was the butler.

The housekeeper and she looked at each other. These eyes were filled with experience from the storms. There was respect and scrutiny in these eyes, but it was not obvious.

Xiao Ruyue frowned slightly and did not say much.

The butler took two steps forward and bowed once more towards Xiao Ruyue. Then, he turned towards the servants and servants and said: "Young Noble usually lives in a mansion, but from today on, you will all have to stay in the Courtyard. All of you must serve him with utmost care. If I find out which one of you is lazy or sloppy, then you will be punished by the family law! "

This boldness was perfect!

Xiao Ruyue was secretly impressed, this old butler was definitely not an ordinary person. How could someone that Yuwen He had chosen be ordinary?
