As if a ladle of cold water was poured over him, Yao Ziyan was jolted awake from the primal chaos.

She opened her eyes and saw the empress looking down at her, expressionless.

Cai Wei helped her up from the chair.

"I heard that the Wei Wangfei and Prince Wei have been having an extremely intimate time, having fun together every day. Judging from her complexion, it seems that she doesn't have much to do, even if she doesn't sleep well. You actually fainted for no reason while talking to me. "

They sounded like they were made of glue or paint, but why did those words sound so familiar?

Yao Ziyan was startled.

Yin Lin gave her a clean handkerchief, but she was still confused.

What was going on?

"If Wei Wangfei does not have a good rest, it would be fine to come back another day to pay respects. "Seeing your pale face and fainting, I'm going to pass you on to the imperial physician."

Faint?

Yao Ziyan was even more confused. "Esteemed Empress, this subject's wife is …" What's going on?

"Wei Wangfei, you said you had something you wanted to say to me, but after a few words, you fainted." Xiao Ruyue said indifferently, his expression did not show joy or anger.

Yao Ziyan frowned and looked at Cai Wei, then at the others, all of their expressions remained unchanged.

But was everything she'd experienced just a dream? 'It was clearly that real! '

Yao Ziyan was filled with doubts, she was filled with suspicion.

She looked at the ground. There were no broken pieces of porcelain, nor any traces of medicine being used.

She touched her sleeve and found that the porcelain bottle was still there!

Could it be that she was dreaming just now?!

Yao Ziyan's face did not look good, upon seeing her like this, she did not explain anymore. She quietly sipped her water and said: "Wei Wangfei, if you are not feeling well, just sit down, there is no need to stand and reply, if not you would think that I had treated you too harshly."

"Yes, thank you, esteemed empress."

Cai Wei helped her sit down again. Looking at Xiao Ruyue, Yao Ziyan still felt that something was wrong.

She wiped her face with a hot towel and felt more comfortable. However, the makeup she had meticulously prepared before she left was all gone in an instant.

Yao Ziyan looked at the rouge on her handkerchief, and was immediately stunned.

The others looked at Yao Ziyan's makeup and looked at each other. Originally, they wanted to hold it in, but in the end they couldn't hold it in anymore and all of them burst out in laughter.

Yao Ziyan's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, but when paired with her colorful face, it made him feel that it was even funnier.

Xiao Ruyue frowned, then ordered Yin Lin: "Go get a basin of hot water and bring it over, get Wei Wangfei to comb up and wash her makeup."

The disgust on her face was undisguised, as if she hadn't said a single word: This kind of behavior was too humiliating for the imperial family.

Yao Ziyan was ashamed, but she still couldn't act.

Yin Lin did things quickly and quickly led Yao Ziyan to the inner rooms. She got Cai Yin to bring hot water and had him clean herself.

After spending another two incense sticks worth of time, Yao Ziyan finally finished packing and came out.

As soon as he sat down, he said, "Empress, this subject has some things that I wish to report to the Empress alone. I wonder if it's possible for you to suppress the urge to leave us alone?"

Xiao Ruyue looked at Lu Yi, Cai Yin and the rest, and instructed, "Yin Lin, stay behind, the rest of you may leave."

Lu Yi and the rest all retreated.

Now, only Xiao Ruyue, Yin Lin and Yao Ziyan were left.

"Esteemed Empress, the items should be returned to their rightful owners." Yao Ziyan took out the small porcelain bottle from her sleeve and held it in front of Xiao Ruyue with both hands.

Everything that had happened seemed real yet illusory, treating it as a dream.

This moment was real.

Xiao Ruyue glanced at it indifferently, "Hand it over."

Yin Lin brought the thing over, and Xiao Ruyue pulled out the stopper to smell it, then collapsed onto the ground, Yao Ziyan's face changed greatly, "Empress!"

"Do you think I would be interested in something like that?" Xiao Ruyue sneered, then threw the bottle back into Yao Ziyan's arms, "You stole something from me, squandered a bit of it to fool me with a fake, do you really think I'm an easy target?!"

Yao Ziyan's heart jumped when she heard this, "How could it be fake? This was clearly given to me by Ye Wen himself."

It was only on the tip of her tongue that she realized there was a problem.

This was what Ye Haitang had given her. If it was fake, then what had she been using all this time?!

"Wei Wangfei probably doesn't know that in the items you brought back, there is an additional medicinal herb that conflicts with the Spring Restoration Pill." Xiao Ruyue acted as if he had seen through her thoughts, and said calmly.

"If my guess is correct, you shouldn't be in a good condition recently. will suddenly age rapidly, have white hair at the temples, and also need to take a few pills consecutively to be able to recover its effects. "

Yao Ziyan froze in place, her face full of shock. "How could the empress …"

"Wei Wangfei used to be able to persevere for a long time with just the Spring Restoration Pill, but you have been deteriorating recently. Imperial Consort Ye should have pretty much used the pill she gave you. If I were to make a bold guess, the Wei Wangfei would have sent people to the palace to seek help from the Imperial Consort Ye, but she was not willing to give you the medicine. "

Yao Ziyan clenched her fists tightly, the queen's gaze was like a blade, as though she wanted to pierce through Yao Ziyan, she had nowhere to hide.

"How can the empress be so sure?"

"If you weren't in such a bad condition and if Imperial Consort Ye wasn't willing to give you medicine, you wouldn't have risked asking me for it. Isn't it? " Xiao Ruyue slowly stepped down from the Phoenix Seat and raised his voice, revealing a cold smile within his vermilion lip.

"I am willing to be good to others, does Wei Wangfei truly think that I am a soft persimmon that anyone can control? Don't forget, I grew up in the East Mausoleum's palace! Your little trick is not in my eyes yet. You want to plot against me? You're not qualified! "

Yao Ziyan's face and ears were flushed red, as if she had been slapped twice.

Seeing her like that, Xiao Ruyue smiled even more, "Also, I can tell you straight out, I have the Rejuvenation Pill, but I won't give it to you. Thinking about how you helped Ye Haitang plot against me from the back in the past, these are all small gifts. The great gift is yet to come. "

And you still want to use me to fight Ye Haitang?

Yao Ziyan could no longer hold back and blurted out, "If the Empress says she knows everything, then does that mean she knows Ye Haitang's true identity?"

She didn't believe that this Situ Min could really be so knowledgeable.

Wei Wangfei, Yao Ziyan, should I say that you are too naive and foolish, or should I say that it is better for you to lift up a rock to smash your own foot instead?

Xiao Ruyue's smile froze on her face, and became even more dazzling, "What do you think? Do you know that I know nothing about this palace? Nothing you or Ye Haitang have done could escape my eyes. "

"I …"

"Ye Haitang is just an old granny who thinks that she can remain young even in her dreams. Cigarette Water Pavilion is her, and you are a lackey who listened to her words. Otherwise, why do you think I gave you a gold medal to let you enter and leave the palace gates freely? "

Yao Ziyan couldn't say a single word.

"If you want to join us, say something useful. If these people are aware of everything, you should go back and find Ye Haitang. Tell her, I know everything, and maybe she can even give you a few pills when she's happy. However, do you still dare to eat what she gives you? "

Xiao Ruyue's eyes flashed, but the smile was no longer in them.

His decisive killing intent was telling Yao Ziyan: "You have no other choice!"

Yao Ziyan absentmindedly thought of the female ghost with her fierce green teeth and dishevelled hair. It was as if she was in an ice cave, and for a moment, she felt a bone chilling cold. Her face was as pale as a sheet of paper, and she had gone completely numb.

Yin Lin shook her head and purposely sighed.

The look in her eyes was clearly mocking her stupidity.

Very quickly, Xiao Ruyue ordered Xuan Cai Wei to come in, and let her bring him back to the Duke Palaces.

Before they left, Xiao Ruyue said with a smile that was not really a smile: "If Wei Wangfei is not feeling well, I can order the imperial doctor to head over to the Wei Duke Manor to treat you."

Yao Ziyan's face was pale white, she shook her head and anxiously got on the carriage, she was no longer as arrogant as before.

A stray dog was nothing more than a stray dog.

After Yao Ziyan left, Lu Yi and Yin Lin couldn't help but come over.

"Your Highness, why are you here today?" The one who asked was Yin Lin, she could not understand the things that happened today.

"You want to ask, why did I have to first scare Yao Ziyan, and then torture her again?" Xiao Ruyue saw through her thoughts.

In fact, it was obvious.

Yin Lin and Lu Yi looked at each other and nodded.

What Yao Ziyan experienced was not an illusion, nor was it a dream.

It was just that all of this had been planned by Xiao Ruyue long ago.

She had arranged everything properly and dealt with it flawlessly, tricking Yao Ziyan into going around in circles.

"If I didn't scare her first, how could she be scared to death so quickly?" Xiao Ruyue said indifferently, although her tone of voice sounded indifferent, she could not ignore the hatred in the depths of her eyes.

Yao Ziyan was just trying her luck today.

From now on, there will be surprises for you every day.

Everyone has to pay the price for what they have done. You, too, are no exception.

Ten years ago, I would have repaid every single debt that I owe you.

They wouldn't rest until they were dead!

Xiao Ruyue's eyes were extremely cold, and she did not dare look straight at Lu Yi, so she quickly avoided her gaze and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, she was not the Empress's enemy.

Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw a bright yellow figure enter, which caused both Lu Yi and Yin Lin to quietly retreat.

"You shouldn't have pushed yourself so hard." Yuwen He's unique voice slowly sounded.

Xiao Ruyue was startled for a moment, and then was pulled into a thick and warm embrace.

"Min Er, I think you should be the one to take revenge. I won't hide anything from you, but I don't want you to force yourself like this."

"If you do this, my heart will ache."

With his sigh ringing beside his ears, Xiao Ruyue started crying.

She buried her face in his chest, trying to absorb his scent, and it took her a moment to calm her heart.

But unknowingly, the tears had also wet Yuwen He's front lapel.

When Xiao Ruyue withdrew from his embrace, she saw the large puddle of water on the ground and exclaimed, "Chenqie dirtied His Majesty's dragon robe, what should I do?"

A smile appeared on his face as he spoke, making Yuwen He feel much better.

Thus, looking at the water stain in front of his shirt, he sighed with emotion, "Luckily, this water stain is on his shirt." As he spoke, he shifted his gaze downwards.
