Du Ziheng's face immediately changed.

"What does Young Master Zhu mean by this?"

"You got first place in the test. You don't even understand what I'm saying?" Yuwen He's attitude was very cold, and after he finished speaking, he pulled Xiao Ruyue into his embrace, "This wooden idiot doesn't have an opening, so once she enters the Linde Hall, he will naturally understand."

Xiao Ruyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

It seemed that Yuwen He was extremely unhappy in his heart that she had come out of the palace to meet Du Ziheng today.

Du Ziheng had even more of an opinion now.

"Brother Du, take care of yourself." Xiao Ruyue spoke sincerely and earnestly, there were hidden meanings behind her words.

Du Ziheng didn't know how to react for a moment.

Yuwen He brought Xiao Ruyue to the backyard.

Xiao Ruyue's body was a little tired, she took off her shoes and socks and lost her hair, then fell asleep.

Just as she was about to turn around and discover that she was trapped in his embrace, she opened her eyes and coincidentally saw Yuwen He's pitch-black jade-like eyes.

"You're awake?"

"Yes." Xiao Ruyue was drowsy, there was an additional affability in her soft voice, she moved her body, then closed her eyes, "I want to sleep a little more, I'm tired."

"Sleep, I'll stay here with you." Yuwen He tightened his arms so that Xiao Ruyue could only stick close to his chest.

Xiao Ruyue was too lazy to struggle, her eyes were still fighting, and she quickly fell asleep.

On the other side, in the guest room.

Du Ziheng sat in a daze while holding onto the documents given by the Department of the Civil Service.

Other than the incident in his mind, the rest of his mind was filled with the handsome face of 'Situ Wu'.

As long as he closed his eyes, all he could see was that afternoon. The sunlight shone in and landed on Situ Wu's face. His eyelashes were as long and dense as a fan. His eyes were moist, and every time he recalled, his heart would palpitate.

No, Situ did not look like that kind of person. Although Young Master Zhu had always protected 'him' intimately, Situ clearly had a righteous expression on his face, he did not look like someone who was addicted to breaking sleeves.

He

Du Ziheng took a deep breath and made an important decision. If he expressed his thoughts to little brother Situ, he would also apologize!

Grand Scholar Du was also a straightforward person, so he did as he was told.

He put away his papers and went out of the room.

"Young Master Du, my young master is resting right now. If you have any matters to attend to, please head back first. When Young Master wakes up, this humble one will naturally report you to Master. "

"Then I'll wait at the door until he wakes up." Du Ziheng thought that Situ Xiandi was unwilling to see him and stubbornly refused to leave.

A man who had just won the first place in the Central Committee, lifted his clothes and sat on the steps.

Lu Yi was stunned.

This Du Ziheng must not be the rotten scholar Du Ziheng that she had seen a few times!

At this time, Xiao Ruyue's voice came from inside: "Let Brother Du in."

Xiao Ruyue slept for about two hours, and when she woke up, she did not see Yuwen He, but just in time to hear voices outside, so she invited Du Ziheng in.

Of course, she had already fixed her clothes and makeup.

When Du Ziheng heard Xiao Ruyue inviting him in, he entered the room excitedly.

"Brother Du, what do you have to say at this time?" Xiao Ruyue laughed and poured himself a cup of tea before pushing it over.

Du Ziheng hesitated to sit down, he stared at the cup of tea and stuttered: "I, I am only thinking, that you and Brother Zhu shouldn't be that kind of person, I didn't mean it."

"I think I understand." He stammered and could not continue, so Xiao Ruyue ended his sentence for him, "I am sorry, Brother Du. And just as Brother Du has said, Big Brother and I are not related in that way. "

This reaction exceeded his expectations.

Du Ziheng was startled, "I, I apologize to you."

"No worries," Xiao Ruyue smiled calmly, it was clear that she had never put this matter to heart, "On the contrary, I am surprised that you managed to think it through so quickly."

Du Ziheng's face heated up, feeling extremely ashamed. "Little brother, don't say that. Regardless of that major event, just from your words alone, I know that you are definitely not ordinary people. "

Xiao Ruyue laughed without saying a word.

"Since you said that the elder in your family opposed your path to become a official because of King Wei, then your family must be famous. Is tomorrow's Hall Competition really going to be alright?"

Xiao Ruyue didn't know how to answer.

If she were to say that she was alright, most of the officials above third rank would recognize her. The officials had only seen her once or twice after all. Whether she could remember her looks or not, she was even more different when she had changed into men's attire. Even if they thought that she was similar to the empress, they did not dare to say, "This is the empress".

And even if Yuwen Chenglian recognized her, with his personality, he would definitely not expose her on the Linde Hall.

Thus, it was still considered good.

It was just that after Yuwen Chenglian recognized her, Ye Haitang and the fake Empress Dowager would join hands and cause a ruckus in the harem.

It seemed like he had to solve the problem of the Empress Dowager as soon as possible. Otherwise, with such a big hidden danger left in the palace, it would always be worrisome.

"Little brother Situ, what are you thinking about?"

Xiao Ruyue was stunned for a moment. Seeing her stunned, Du Ziheng waved her hand in front of her. Xiao Ruyue regained her senses.

She organized her thoughts and said to Du Ziheng: "Brother Du's scheme concerns the well-being of countless people. I understand that you have to be careful. However, this matter is not something that you can accomplish. King Wei had been in the court for many years and was deeply rooted in it. If you could list twenty of his crimes, he could give you thirty of them tomorrow. You can only work together with my big brother, and will definitely be able to achieve twice the results with half the effort.

She was already quite familiar with the term "big brother" and immediately opened her mouth to ask for it.

He didn't have to worry about his mouth leaking anymore.

Seeing her serious expression, Du Ziheng remembered what Yuwen He had said in the hall earlier, and her heart was in turmoil, "May I ask, who exactly is Brother Zhu?"

"Tomorrow at Linde Hall, everything will be revealed."

Du Ziheng was stopped by these words again.

It was as if all the riddles would only come to an end when they went to Linde Hall tomorrow and met the monarch.

With doubt and regret in his heart, Du Ziheng finished the cup of tea in one gulp and then took his leave.

Seeing him walk out of the courtyard, Xiao Ruyue heaved a sigh of relief.

Once Du Ziheng had left, both Qingqing and Qingyi entered the room. Qingyi couldn't hold back her stomach full of gossips: "Young Master, oh no, what did you say to Master Du Huaiyuan? He was so lonely when he left."

"Didn't you clearly hear what Bengong said outside the door?" Xiao Ruyue gave them a "don't think I don't know" look.

Lu Yi then coughed and innocently retracted her curious head.

"Alright, let's go and see how the preparation of the dishes is going." We're going back after lunch. " Xiao Ruyue glanced at her, and her face became a little stern.

Seeing that her mistress had returned to the main topic at hand, Lu Yi no longer dared to play anymore. He then left.

Qing Qing also retreated to the door and stood guard.

Xiao Ruyue relaxed her heart, and poured herself a cup of hot tea. She took a sip, and then turned her head to look out the window and stared at a certain point, and said indifferently: "It's good to be outside, but it's still too eye-catching in the daytime, don't be treated as a gentleman by others in your own house."

Judging from the temper of an emperor who was usually arrogant and petty, he was not in his room at the moment and would not run far.

With that, Yuwen He jumped in from outside the window.

"How did my wife know I was outside?" He looked innocent and innocent.

Xiao Ruyue thought: Did he just sit on the roof for a while?

"Aren't you always out there eavesdropping on me?" Xiao Ruyue sighed helplessly, "I never thought that the great Monarch of Da Xia would not only love to be jealous, but also be narrow-minded, and also like to eavesdrop on people's conversation. What an eye-opener. If this news were to spread to the East Mausoleum and my royal brother were to find out, I wonder what she would think. "

"That will depend on whether Princess Wuyou has the chance to return to the East Mausoleum." Yuwen He hugged her, "From the moment you stepped into my Da Xia Empire's territory, you were destined to never be able to return to the East Mausoleum. You were born to belong here. "

Xiao Ruyue's smiling face was like a flower as she nodded her head, "Yes, master, it is as you say."

The word "hubby" undoubtedly gave Yuwen He a huge boost.

He tightened his grip and hugged even tighter, "You have perfectly subdued that stubborn Du Huaiyuan. Tomorrow's Hall Competition, you must not lose face for your husband."

"Then you must not lose your wife's face." Xiao Ruyue was not to be outdone.

Yuwen He immediately laughed and guaranteed, "Definitely not. I assure you in my name. "

With that, she covered Xiao Ruyue's lips with her own.

When she came to the door, she accidentally saw a beautiful scene and tactfully turned her head.

I didn't see anything. I didn't see anything.

cough cough

Because he wanted to celebrate the first place of Du Ziheng's high school exam, and also to celebrate for Xiao Ruyue's third place in the examination, lunch preparation was extremely rich.

There were no steamed lamb, steamed bear paw, steamed deer tail, roast duck, roast chicken, or roast goose, but there were a dozen or so dishes, all of which had a rich fragrance.

Just the preparation of these dishes took two hours.

During the meal, Qingqing, Qingqing, and the rest were all at the table, having their meals together.

After Du Ziheng and Yuwen He toasted for a while, the atmosphere became much more harmonious.

Everyone was eating happily, Xiao Ruyue watched them drink and eat in silence. Yuwen He occasionally helped her pick up some food, but he couldn't help but mutter in his heart: I don't seem to be hungry like this everyday.

After lunch, Xiao Ruyue and the rest returned back to the palace.

Yuwen He did not know whether to be happy or not, so he drank two more cups. This was the second time Xiao Ruyue saw him drink too much.

The first time he saw drink too much should be because of that time. When he went to the Taibai Lou with Chong Yue, and got drunk from the dream, even to the present, Xiao Ruyue still felt that it was deeply engraved in his memory.

He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Yuwen He drank too much Floating Drunk Dream, and it had tormented her for an entire night without any rest. Who knew what the Taibai Lou's Floating Drunk Dream was made of?
