"What are you laughing so foolishly for? Hurry up and rest." Yuwen He said snappily as he lightly pinched her face.

Xiao Ruyue wasn't annoyed either, and teased, "I was just thinking how many people Her Majesty left behind before hurrying back. I wonder if tomorrow, there will be someone who will call me the bane of women and bewitch the Sovereign's heart. "

"So the empress was so clear about her position." Yuwen He revealed an expression of "as expected of the empress".

The result was obvious — his wife rolled her eyes at him.

Yuwen He smiled, helped her place the drapes, and left.

It seemed like he really was in a hurry.

He didn't know why he had come back. But Yuwen He didn't say it, so Xiao Ruyue didn't ask.

Yin Lin and the other three were still in the room, waiting for Yuwen He to leave before they all walked to the bedside.

"Go back and busy yourself, Cai Yin will also be out, I only have Lu Yi and Qing Qing here."

"Yes, Empress." Yin Lin bowed and brought Cai Yin out.

Cai Yin walked to the door and suddenly thought of something. She turned around and looked at Xiao Ruyue pitifully: "Empress, this servant wants to go to the Qing Ning Palace in the afternoon to find a sister. Is that possible?"

Xiao Ruyue did not say anything, but Yin Lin's expression was already not good. She was so frightened that she immediately knelt down and said, "Empress Dowager, Cai Yin knows that she has caused you quite a bit of trouble ever since Cai Yin came to your side. However, this sister of hers said that the other sisters who were sent by the palace had brought news of her home, so I deserve to die, this servant shall die, this servant shall die."

Yin Lin let out a loud "hmph" as she was so scared that she continuously kowtowed.

Xiao Ruyue sat up with the support of Lu Yi, "Stand up first."

"Empress, this servant knows my wrongs!" Cai Yin seemed to be so scared that he did not even dare raise his head.

Xiao Ruyue then said indifferently, "Since this is news about your hometown, I will not stop you. But you must remember, palace rule s are very strict, and I will allow you to interact privately with sisters from other palaces, but there are some things that you should not say, you should know."

Cai Yin was startled at first, but then slowly reacted and kowtowed to Xiao Ruyue again, "This servant thanks the Empress for her great kindness!"

"Alright, go."

Only after hearing Xiao Ruyue's words did Cai Yin dare to stand up. She looked towards Yin Lin, but big sister Yin Lin's expression was still not looking good.

Big Sister Yin Lin was very unhappy, but since this was the empress's decision, she couldn't say anything. When Cai Yin walked past her, she was trembling with fear.

Due to such an incident, Yin Lin walked a little slower, she turned her head to look at Xiao Ruyue, and then retreated.

She thought to herself, Esteemed Empress probably has her own considerations for doing so.

After Yin Lin and Cai Yin left, Xiao Ruyue had a beautiful sleep.

What was lacking in beauty was that she didn't wake up naturally from her sleep, but was woken up by Lu Yi. This made her a little unhappy.

The reason was because Cai Yin had gone to the Qingning Hall and came back in a fluster. She stuttered that she had to inform the Empress of an important matter.

She looked as if she had seen a ghost, and her face was frighteningly white.

She refused to answer Yin Lin's question, so Lu Yi did not dare delay any further, and called her Princess out.

"What happened?" Xiao Ruyue pressed on her temple, and was called out before she had even woken up.

Cai Yin knelt down and hesitated for a while before saying: "Empress, this servant saw someone in Qingning Hall."

"Meet who?" Xiao Ruyue immediately became spirited upon hearing it.

Although Cai Yin was timid, she would definitely not be scared like this for no reason.

"Empress, that person …" Cai Yin raised his head, bit his lower lip, and almost bit his lower lip until it broke before deciding, "That person is the person who pretended to be Your Majesty and delivered the blood swallow that tried to poison Empress!"

"What did you say?" Xiao Ruyue almost wanted to sit up.

"It's, it's that person." Cai Yin stammered, "I saw him, he's that little eunuch."

"Are you sure?" Yin Lin unconsciously raised his voice, "Did I see wrong?!"

Cai Yin's face was pale, she nodded her head, "I, I did not see him, so I did not dare reveal anything, and ran back. "I …"

She choked with sobs as she spoke and kowtowed to Xiao Ruyue, "Empress, Cai Yin was careless last time and almost caused you to eat poison. I have always, always wanted to make up for it, I …"

Tears streamed down his face.

"You did well." Xiao Ruyue slowly said after not speaking for a long time. She glanced at Yin Lin and exchanged a glance with him.

When Cai Yin went to the Qingning Hall this morning, she happened to see the eunuch who pretended to be the emperor and delivered the poison bird's nest to him.

This was a godsend opportunity.

Yin Lin understood after receiving Xiao Ruyue's gaze.

Cai Yin was still kneeling on the ground. Lu Yi saw that Xiao Ruyue did not have any intention to reprimand him, so she consoled her, "Cai Yin, when you saw that person did not alert the enemy, but had instead reported back to the Empress immediately. "Empress, I will give you a chance to make amends."

Xiao Ruyue did not object, but Yin Lin also gave a cold "En", causing Cai Yin to immediately cry. "Great, I finally found that person, I, I, I …" Once she got excited, she started crying incoherently.

Lu Yi was afraid that she would laugh and cry at the same time, hence she disturbed Xiao Ruyue's peace and quiet.

"Empress, you sent Cai Yin to the Qingning Hall so that she could find out more about the matter." With Cai Yin missing from the house, Yin Lin became more relaxed when she spoke.

Xiao Ruyue didn't know if she was mistaken but she had a nagging feeling that Yin Lin was intentionally watching out for that little girl.

However, she would not ask about any of these details until it had prevented her from doing so. She would only pretend that she did not know about them.

"But we have people in the Qingning Hall, they should be able to sense us." Yin Lin was a little confused.

A pondering expression surfaced on Xiao Ruyue's face as she said slowly, "I had originally wanted to grant Cai Yin her wish to see the sisters and ask about the news of her hometown by sending him to the Qingning Hall. She also wanted to see if she could bring back some news along the way. "I didn't expect to get such a good harvest."

"There is news that she is more useful than anyone else. Although Cai Yin was not very old, she had many little sisters in the palace and was also known as the strongest one of them. Her heart was calm, and no one would put up any defenses around her, so naturally she would not be cautious when speaking to her. When a person relaxes, they will say something that they would normally not dare to say, and even scouts would not be able to detect it. "

"Empress, you mean to say that you want to lure the snake out of its cave, and use Cai Yin to lure those people? Aren't you worried that Cai Yin would leak anything? " When Yin Lin mentioned Cai Yin, he was mostly unhappy, and her words still contradicted him a little.

Xiao Ruyue laughed without saying a word.

Yin Lin thought, and lowered her eyes.

Xiao Ruyue laughed, "Don't you think that Cai Yin is very special? Every time she wanted something from her, she could get it. She's a wonderful girl. "

"I have never avoided her when I speak, and neither do you guys. But there was only so much she should know. She had always spoken the truth, so what she said was the truth. It's hard for others not to believe her. "

Yin Lin was completely enlightened this time.

"This servant understands." The Empress is indeed very scheming! " She admired Xiao Ruyue from the bottom of her heart.

Especially since the Empress was able to let Cai Yin hear so many secrets easily, but it was not hard to tell from the other party's words that the Empress was still wary of Cai Yin.

This made her admire him even more.

He knew that this person was suspicious, yet he was still able to quietly use this person to achieve his goal. Such a scheme could not be described as "shrewd".

Xiao Ruyue pursed her lips into a smile.

Yin Lin was admiring it for a moment, so maybe she would be afraid later on.

The empress had used everyone thoroughly.

The best use of them.

Everyone was talented.

"Empress, don't you feel that doing this is too good?" Qing Qing was silent as a log from the start, and only then did she speak in a muffled voice.

Xiao Ruyue glanced at her after hearing what she said, "Qingqing, are you saying that I shouldn't use a simple Cai Yin?"

Qing Qing didn't say anything, but looking at her arrogant expression, it was not hard to guess.

"Qing Qing, do you think I should tell her everything?"

Qing Qing was once again at a loss for words.

She had also seen the palace maid called Cai Yin, she had been in and out these two days, and had come in contact with her. Cai Yin was a person who did not care what others thought, her temper was straightforward, and could not hide her secrets.

If Cai Yin knew too much, wouldn't she prick everything out the moment she opened her mouth?

Thinking of this, Qing Qing fell silent. He stood at the end of the bed unhappily, touching his own sword without saying a word.

Xiao Ruyue also knew what Qing Qing was thinking, but she had her own plans.

Cai Yin had always been straightforward and unable to hide any secrets. In order to avoid being manipulated as a weakness, some things naturally had to be kept from her.

At the same time, her bluntness was also the best weapon. No one would doubt the authenticity of her words. Therefore, it was appropriate to let her know some secrets. If this information was spread out through her mouth, it would give her even more credibility.

The people she was familiar with liked to share small secrets with her the most. Especially the little sisters, who would exchange things that they couldn't say to others themselves and wanted everyone to know about at the same time.

Those little palace maids were even more willing to tell Cai Yin the little secrets that they knew.

If it was truly an unspeakable secret, they would definitely not choose Cai Yin to be their target.

Xiao Ruyue had already seen through this point, which was why she selectively revealed some information to Cai Yin.

No matter how innocent she was, it was not possible for her to not be able to see through this point. Furthermore, she was still enjoying it, so from another aspect, it was clear that she was not as simple as she looked on the surface.

But this time, the feedback was truly astonishing.

The person who had sent her the poisonous bird's nest had finally appeared. This was more pleasing than anything else.

"Qing Qing, you will understand in the future." Xiao Ruyue suddenly said.
