Just now, when Cow Sugar mentioned why she didn't like him, she suddenly thought back to many years ago, when she first met Tang Jingzhi.

She had never told this secret to anyone, not even Yue Er. Of course, Tang Jingzhi himself was not aware of this either.

Every time she thought about him wearing a pair of boxers, she could only laugh at that reaction.

The waves of the night billowed secretly. Xiao Ruyue did not know anything as she slept soundly until daybreak.

Yuwen He wanted to go to the morning assembly early in the morning, so he insisted on waking her up and asking for his morning kiss before leaving.

Xiao Ruyue was so angered by his thick-skinned man that she laughed out loud, but she could not bear to see him speak in such a manner, so she could only give him a kiss.

"This scoundrel." Xiao Ruyue was angry and amused at the same time.

Lu Yi walked in with a vase in her arms. Within the vase was a fresh flower that had been cut from the garden. The peony flower had yet to bloom, and the flower bud had morning dew on it. It was very pretty.

Xiao Ruyue walked to the side of the table and took a whiff, immediately feeling refreshed, she called out to Lu Yi who was about to leave: "Come back and help me comb my hair."

Lu Yi stopped in her tracks and looked over in puzzlement. "Won't the Empress rest a little longer? It's just dawn. "

"Prepare yourself. After changing into men's attire and bringing along some pastries, it's time for us to head to Courtyard."

In two days, the new course would begin. Time was running out, and he was afraid that it would be too late.

After Xiao Ruyue washed up, she happily ate her breakfast.

Just as she was happily eating, Yin Lin came in from outside with a smile on his face. He blessed Xiao Ruyue when he came in and lowered his voice: "Empress, your medicine has worked. The news came from the Wei Wang Residence that King Wei had been in his room the day before yesterday. The two of them had been messing around for two days and yet King Wei had not come out. It's still noisy right now. "

As he spoke, he told Xiao Ruyue all the news about the spies in the Wei Wang Residence.

Upon hearing this, the chopsticks in Xiao Ruyue's hand stopped moving, but the smile on her face deepened, "I should have let the people from the Duke Palaces take care of King Wei and the Wei Mansion, it would be best for me to remind the wangfei to take it easy. If this continues, her body will be emptied sooner or later."

There was a hidden meaning behind his words, but he was speaking with a double entendre.

Yin Lin nodded and followed the instructions.

Xiao Ruyue clenched her chopsticks tightly, her eyes turning ice-cold.

Yao Ziyan, you chose a path of death yourself, and you're still taking it so aggressively. You are urging yourself to die, but no one is holding a knife to your neck.

Some medicine may be good, but you can't be greedy.

Thinking about it, Xiao Ruyue put down her chopsticks, and slowly stirred the porridge in her white porcelain bowl with a porcelain spoon.

The porridge was made by the imperial chef. He picked the ingredients and cooked them meticulously. Even if there was a tiny bit of celery in the porridge, it was still cut evenly. The color and fragrance were both excellent. As for the taste, she tasted it and savored it. Her appetite could not be any better.

As expected, everyone was in high spirits when they saw a happy occasion.

Xiao Ruyue smiled and got Lu Yi to add a bowl of porridge.

If Yao Ziyan found out that she had painstakingly obtained it, that the miraculous medicine that made Yuwen Chenglian submit to her, was compatible with the medicine she used to maintain her young and beautiful appearance, would she still be so active?

It was because Big Sister Ya Yin was sure that she was not familiar with the formula for "One Night Spring Festival Gala", that she dared to take such a risky move.

Hmph, I didn't expect that some people would resort to such reckless means to reach their goal.

People like this, who dig their own graves, never need sympathy. What they needed was someone to step on their graves to celebrate.

After eating breakfast, Xiao Ruyue changed into the palace maid attire. With a human skin mask on her face, she pretended to be a palace maid who had just left the palace and swaggered out of the palace on a horse carriage.

It was Chong Yang who was driving the carriage, and he and Chong Yue didn't know what was going on but they would always switch back and forth. Of course, Xiao Ruyue wouldn't ask. The reason why they acted in such a secretive manner, was most likely because of Yuwen He.

After sending Xiao Ruyue to Courtyard, Chong Yang stayed behind as usual.

Xiao Ruyue quickly changed into men's clothing. Men's clothing was originally easier to take care of than women's, so it was natural for her to wear it a few more times.

With her delicate hands, her hair was quickly tied up. After exiting the room, Xiao Ruyue ordered Chong Yang to drive to the carp hopper to invite Du Ziheng over.

Chong Yang did not ask anymore, taking Xiao Ruyue's jade fan and left.

"Mother's Young Master, why did you invite that person to a different Courtyard? Are you not afraid of him finding out?" Lu Yi almost shouted wrongly when she opened her mouth, but she was swept a glance at by Xiao Ruyue from the corner of her eyes, and immediately corrected her address.

Xiao Ruyue fiddled with the Four Treasures in the study room on the table and said calmly, "The more dangerous the location, the safer it will be. How could he think that my identity and background were all fake? Moreover, I still need his help. "

The exam was just around the corner, Yuwen He allowed her to participate, and even told her to be qualified to take part in it.

She knew what she was capable of. If she didn't try to make up for it at this time, how could she do it?

Seeing Xiao Ruyue's resolute expression, Lu Yi understood that she should not ask anymore.

Chong Yang took over an hour to return. During the day, there were a lot of people, so they had to slow down when driving the carriage. It was normal to slow down, but it was just too long.

"Young Master Situ, I saw this young brother holding your fan and claiming to be your servant. I pestered him to ask some questions, which is why I came late." Without waiting for Xiao Ruyue to ask, Du Ziheng had already asked on her behalf.

Since he said that, what else could Xiao Ruyue say.

"It's fine." Xiao Ruyue invited Du Ziheng to sit, there were a few books on the table, some content she did not understand, but there was still another stack of books.

Xiao Ruyue saw that Du Ziheng was hesitating, and explained: "This is for you, Brother Du. This little brother's Courtyard is simple and crude, and I just moved here, living alone is really boring. I have a lot of questions, but I feel that it would be inconvenient to keep running to carp hopper. If Brother Du doesn't mind, how about we stay here in my Courtyard? "

"I'm afraid that's not appropriate, right?"

Xiao Ruyue courteously spoke a few more times, but Du Ziheng still expressed that he was determined to not do so. It was only then that Xiao Ruyue showed a very disappointed but could not bear to force him.

With the old steward in charge of the Courtyard, everything was in order. With Xiao Ruyue in charge, she did not need to worry about others noticing any flaws. She might as well ask all the questions that she did not understand.

Du Ziheng answered her question the same way, but the longer he sat, the more uncomfortable he felt. It was almost noon, Xiao Ruyue wanted to let him eat lunch, but he refused to do so.

"Since Brother Du has given up, little brother will not force others. "Let this little brother of mine send you on your way."

Du Ziheng did not refuse.

After Chong Yang and Du Ziheng left, Xiao Ruyue tidied up everything slowly, and Lu Yi helped as well. After a long while, she couldn't help but say, "Young Master, you intentionally kept that Young Master Du here in the Courtyard the whole morning. It can't be that you have other plans, right?"

"You're not stupid." "Do you still remember that yesterday, it was Chong Yang who drove the carriage, and then when Chong Yang came to the Courtyard, he disappeared, and he came out as Chong Yue?"

Lu Yi nodded. She had a feeling that something was up, but she couldn't figure it out.

"Naturally, they have important matters to attend to. When I left the palace early today, Chong Yang didn't ask too much either. If it was any other time, he would have definitely asked me if I knew that he was going to explain things to His Majesty, but didn't do so today, which means that he already knew that I would leave early. "

"Is that what His Majesty told him?"

Xiao Ruyue nodded, "Your Majesty could guess that I would have to work harder when the Imperial Examinations were nearing and would even seek for Du Ziheng's help. So it is natural for me to wake up early today to leave the palace. She arranged for Chong Yang and Chong Yue to be by my side, and he also calculated my trip well, and gave Du Ziheng the chance to stay with me, which is the final plan. "

"Release?!" Lu Yi stared in surprise. "I seem to understand, but I seem to be even more confused."

Xiao Ruyue smiled and did not explain anymore. She rubbed her belly and ordered Emmie, "Go ahead and have a meal."

Learning from school was tiring for her. After working so hard for the entire morning, she had used up both her bowls of porridge from her breakfast. She was hungry to the point where her chest was pressed against her back.

"Pfft", Lu Yi laughed, seeing Xiao Ruyue looking at her, she immediately ran off while covering her mouth.

When Du Ziheng returned to carp hopper, just as he entered the door, he saw the shopkeeper running in panic to pull him over: "Young Master Du, have you offended someone? Did you know that my shop was almost destroyed by someone? "

Du Ziheng took a look, and saw that not only was the shopkeeper panicking, all the other disciples who were staying, as well as the people who were running around in the restaurant, were also panicking.

"What's going on?"

"You also asked why, not long after he went out in the morning, a group of people barged in to look for you. They didn't believe me when I said you went out, and threatened to take them to your room with a knife at my neck. "At that time, you took the knife and posted it on my neck. If I had made the slightest movement, the blade would have been able to cut through my blood!" The shopkeeper became more and more excited as he spoke, and he even started to compare notes.

He recalled the scene with a look of horror on his face. It was obvious that he had suffered from quite a bit of shock.

Du Ziheng went upstairs to take a look. The clean and tidy room that he had left in the morning was now a mess, a complete mess.

Du Ziheng finally understood that after he left, a group of vicious people had barged into the store to find him. After finding out that he wasn't here, they had threatened the people in the shop, and then messed up all of his things.

These people were obviously looking for something, and they were also looking for something.

Du Ziheng suddenly thought about it, that book of poems that was not in his hands, those people must have come for that thing. 'Wrong! I forgot to take the other book when I left, could it be … '

His face hardened.

"Don't worry Young Master Du, my master had already expected this to happen. That's why I made sure that you would be sent to Courtyard. No matter what these people want to do, my master will take care of you. " Chong Yang seemed to have seen through his thoughts, and said indifferently.

Du Ziheng was startled, "Your master is Young Master Zhu?!"

Chong Yang nodded his head and took out a book from his body, "This is what I took with me before I left, I took it with me.

Du Ziheng took it, and saw that the cover of the book was his own handwriting. When he opened it, there was no doubt that it was his handwriting.

Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.
