Do you miss me?

But, how could a little girl like Qing Qing know all this? Could it be that she was related to the Wei Wang Manor in the past?

Xiao Ruyue's heart was in doubt, just as she was hesitating on whether she should probe further, Qing Qing realized that she had said the wrong thing, and knelt on one knee while begging for forgiveness: "This servant spoke falsely, may the Empress punish me."

"No worries, get up." Xiao Ruyue did not show any signs of anger, but there was a trace of disappointment in her heart.

Unfortunately, he couldn't get anything out of Qing Qing.

Xiao Ruyue said she was thirsty, Qing Qing poured another cup of water, Xiao Ruyue drank it all and laid down to rest.

This time he slept dreamlessly until dawn.

When he woke up early the next morning, he felt completely refreshed.

Sure enough, this bed was still comfortable, compared to the Academic Institution area.

Just as Xiao Ruyue wanted to stretch her waist, she suddenly wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her back into bed.

Without any warning, she met her eyes with a pair of inky eyes. Her eyes contained a smile, and her drowsiness also contained a bit of ambiguity.

"Your, Your Majesty." Xiao Ruyue's heartbeat unconsciously sped up.

She had no idea when he had returned.

Yuwen He's phoenix eyes stared at her, "Seems like you slept well last night. These three days in Academic Institution, did you miss us?"

Xiao Ruyue avoided his gaze and said with a low voice. "Aren't you always by my side these past few days?"

"Did you miss me?" Yuwen He didn't give her the chance to avoid his attack. He pinched her chin, making her look at him, "Speak, do you have me in your dreams last night?"

"Nope." Xiao Ruyue blurted out, she did not want to lie at all, it's not that she did not want to, it's just that she did not want to, "What I'm dreaming about is a nightmare, what I'm dreaming about."

"Dreaming that I am the one who saved you in a nightmare." Yuwen He boasted shamelessly.

Xiao Ruyue could not help but let out a laugh, "Your skin is so thick."

"So what?" He simply treated these words as a form of praise. He pressed the back of Xiao Ruyue's head, and then moved her lips closer.

Raising the quilt which was half-lifted to his neck by Yuwen He, the hand under the quilt had already begun to recklessly flaunt around Xiao Ruyue's body.

To bed, of course, he only wore his underclothes.

His large hand reached into his clothes, causing Xiao Ruyue to involuntarily let out a delicate moan, "Mmm, Your Majesty!"

Her charming cry was undoubtedly the catalyst, causing Yuwen He's wandering hands to become even more presumptuous, and his strength increase.

Xiao Ruyue's entire body seemed to be on fire.

Just as Yuwen He was preparing to take a step further, Fang Weiyong's shrill voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, it's about time for the imperial court."

Yuwen He's hand paused, and his face fell on the spot.

Xiao Ruyue only felt a cold Qi pouncing towards him. In a moment of clarity, a hearty laugh burst forth, "Hahaha!"

Yuwen He's face darkened. He squeezed Xiao Ruyue's body forcefully, causing Xiao Ruyue to scream out in "ya".

Caught off guard, the sound was loud.

How embarrassing. Xiao Ruyue bit her lips in frustration.

That scream just now was probably heard by everyone at the door. It was so embarrassing.

Yuwen He's face was filled with the joy of revenge, he kissed her on the lips again and again: I'll let you go for now, when we return early, you'll see!

With these harsh words, he finally gave up on his morning exercise and reluctantly jumped off the bed.

The reaction of his body made him feel quite uncomfortable. Yuwen He took a deep breath and took down his underwear from the screen, slightly covering the areas that caused people to daydream about it, then summoned Fang Weiyong in to help them change.

Fang Weiyong brought two young eunuchs in, and carried the neatly folded dragon robes. He glanced at Xiao Ruyue's direction, and seemed to be holding back her laughter.

Xiao Ruyue couldn't help but be exasperated, it was all because of this fellow, Yuwen He!

Thus, a certain person got two supercilious looks from the beauty.

However, this matter was far from over. After Xiao Ruyue sent Yuwen He out, she realized that all the servants in Phoenix Palace had the same expression — they were all holding back their laughter, so much that their shoulders were trembling.

Xiao Ruyue was immediately depressed.

Lu Yi, the girl with the greatest courage after following the Empress for so many years, couldn't help but burst out laughing the moment she saw Xiao Ruyue's displeased expression.

She could not hold it in, even Yin Lin could not help it.

His Majesty had been dissatisfied with his desires early in the morning, so he left with an unsightly expression on his face. The empress probably had more or less recovered some of her wits from the plot.

Xiao Ruyue took a deep breath and slowly walked back to the door. After hearing the laughter behind him, she stopped and turned her head: "If you let me hear anyone laughing again, I will point her dumb, making her unable to speak for three days."

"…" Immediately, there was silence.

It was still early, she didn't want to wake up so early, so she slept for more than two hours.

Not until morning.

Lu Yi helped Xiao Ruyue comb her hair and change her clothes, while Yin Lin prepared breakfast and invited him to take a seat.

After not being able to eat anything delicious in the Academic Institution for three days, he came back yesterday in a hurry to eat something good to eat, so he took a break. This morning, Yuwen He specifically told the imperial chef to prepare five or six types of food for Xiao Ruyue to eat, such as crystal dumplings and blood and qi replenishing porridge.

Xiao Ruyue ate while listening to Yin Lin's report of her absence, the situation in the palace and the Wei Duke Manor.

"Niangniang, the situation over at the Wei Mansion is under control. In the past few days, King Wei and the Wei Wangfei had been sticking to each other for a long time. It's the same as usual with King Wei during the day. He never stops hugging Princess Hua-Yang as soon as night falls. It's said that he can do it seven times in one night. Truly beautiful. "

Yin Lin could not help but retort.

Seven times in one night? Yuwen Chenglian really wasn't afraid of overindulging himself.

Xiao Ruyue said with a smile that was not a smile, "Besides the fact that Duke Wei is stuck with his imperial concubine all day, is there anything else that's unusual? What did the spy planted in the Prince's Mansion say? "

"The Prince's Mansion is heavily guarded. Although King Wei has been immersed in his bed all day, the Prince's Mansion has never let down its guard. The scouts say that the palace is now becoming more and more out of the control of the Duke of Wei. " Yin Lin could not help but frown, "Empress, do you think there is something amiss?"

"Mm, there must be something behind this anomaly." Xiao Ruyue said, her heart becoming suspicious, the Wei Wang Manor was under strict guard, to escape Yuwen Chenglian's control, was the person behind him, Ye Haitang the one who did this?

She bent her index finger and lightly knocked on the table, only to hear Lu Yi say: "Empress, you don't know, in the few days that you have not been in the palace, glazed pavilion's Imperial Consort Ye has been churning quite a bit."

Xiao Ruyue paused, and looked at Lu Yi: "What did she do? Is she doubting my whereabouts? "

"That's hard to say." Yin Lin said.

"During your three days in Academic Institution, Your Majesty still invited us to the Phoenix Palace for a meal. However, the Imperial Consort Ye did not know whether or not she knew that you were not here, and her expression was exceptionally positive. When Her Majesty was in the imperial study, she had brought the ginseng soup Swallow's nest to the imperial study to pay her respects. Even after being driven out by Her Majesty, she did not give up.

"All three days?" Hearing this, Xiao Ruyue felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

Ye Haitang that woman with the "One Night Spring Festival Gala" would definitely attack Yuwen He at all costs, and would not give up.

Other than Sister Ya Yin, there was no one else who was her opponent. She had killed someone without leaving a trace, so what if she used this opportunity to get close to Yuwen He and use "One Night Spring Festival Gala"?

Thinking about it, Xiao Ruyue could not help but clench her fists.

She drained her bowl of porridge, stuffed the last of the crystal dumplings into her mouth, slapped the tusks on the table, and shrugged.

"Empress, what's wrong?" Yin Lin and Lu Yi were both shocked.

"It's about time for His Majesty to retire from court." Xiao Ruyue looked at them.

Yin Lin nodded at the same time.

The corner of Xiao Ruyue's mouth raised into a smile, and she pointed to the east side: "Ride, Imperial study."

Was the Empress jealous? Yin Lin and Lu Yi looked at each other, and Lu Yi laughed out loud. However, she received the cold and murderous gaze of her princess.

Imperial study.

Today, the judges had been discussing the Imperial examinations the entire time. After yesterday's exam ended, all the examinees' papers had been sealed away. Today, the examiners began to review them once more.

After Yuwen He and the rest of the officials finished discussing the important matters, they all went back to the royal study room. Only Yue Peng, Yue Yang, the current overseer, and Xiao Jingyu, as well as the other overseers were left behind to explain the details.

In order to show his importance, Yuwen He had repeated it over and over again. He had to read the paper carefully, and definitely could not let an examinee leave any regret, and also could not let the nation lose their talent because of some mistake.

The examiners and reading officials all nodded their heads as if they had been struck by a drop of water. They almost swore to the heavens by kneeling down and kowtowing.

After saying that, the examiners all left, leaving behind only Yue Yang and Xiao Jingyu. The three of them talked for a long time inside.

Fang Weiyong stood guard at the door, rejecting her with a stern tone, "Imperial Concubine, it's not that this servant does not agree, it's just that Sovereign has ordered for no one to disturb me during the discussion."

Fang Weiyong saw Xiao Ruyue and paused for a while before continuing, "Even if the Empress came, it would be the same."

Ye Haitang pulled her face down, and after hearing what Fang Weiyong meant, she turned her head to look at Xiao Ruyue. Their gazes met, and sparks flew in all directions.

However, Ye Haitang was still someone who knew when to stop. She first softened her attitude and bowed towards Xiao Ruyue. "Chenqie pays her respects to the Empress, the Empress's thousand year old Jin An."

"Imperial Consort, please excuse me." Since she had softened her attitude, Xiao Ruyue did not stand on ceremony and waved to her, then walked in front of Fang Weiyong.

"Eunuch Fang, has His Majesty been within the palace since the start of the dynasty?" Xiao Ruyue asked.

"Yes, esteemed empress. Earlier, a group of invigilators had left. Now, only Yue Yang and the Xiao Shang Shu were left in there. "His Majesty ordered for no one to disturb him. Esteemed Empress, please forgive us."

Fang Weiyong was a smart person, so he would naturally follow the steps down.

When he finished speaking, he looked at Ye Haitang again, and said with some distress, "This servant was only following orders. Please forgive me, esteemed Empress, and this Imperial Concubine will forgive."

"Since it is the Sovereign's order, I still know the rules, so naturally I won't make things difficult for you." Xiao Ruyue smiled slightly, with a single sentence, he flung Ye Haitang out of the eight streets.
