What a good plan!
It was fine that he had tricked her, but even Ye Haitang had.
"How did you know Ye Haitang would make her move today?" Xiao Ruyue curiously asked while holding onto the last sliver of hope.
Yuwen He threw her a dazzling smile, and only said two words slowly: "I guessed."
He coughed up blood.
The empress almost spat blood on his face.
Do you dare to come up with an excuse that is even more wicked than this?!
You dog emperor!
"Thank you for your praise," the Lord said.
The empress was silent. "Whose weirdo is this? Could you please take it away?"
Xiao Ruyue rubbed her weak stomach, preparing to crawl back into her room.
The empress was so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back. The food she'd eaten in the morning wasn't enough to keep the old men at bay. She was so hungry that her hands and feet went limp.
After returning just now, she told Yin Lin to prepare some food. After they finished cooking, it would be out of the question whether it would be done in years or months. It would be a good idea to first sleep and reduce the loss of stamina before eating.
Before she could climb to the door, Yin Lin came over, "Your Majesty, Empress, we have already prepared lunch. Please move. "
"So fast?" When Xiao Ruyue heard that there was food, her eyes shone with a green light, as if she was a reincarnated hungry ghost. She excitedly ran over and hugged Yin Lin's hands.
Yin Lin smiled, glanced at the sovereign, and said: "Your Majesty was afraid that the Empress would be too hungry, so before rushing to Lushua Hall, you informed me in advance to prepare food."
Xiao Ruyue cast a sidelong glance at Yuwen He when she heard his: "At least you have a little conscience."
The Monarch spread out his hands and lazily walked towards Xiao Ruyue. "What they have prepared are all your favorite dishes, go and have a taste." He held out his hand to her.
Xiao Ruyue looked at him, then looked at Yin Lin, and decisively pulled his hand: "Come, let's go for lunch."
A certain Lord had been rejected just like that.
Yin Lin was a little panicky in her heart, as she sneaked a peek.
His Majesty was not angry.
Good. His Majesty's attitude towards the empress had never been based on common sense.
In other words, the relationship between His Majesty and the Empress was even more intense than that between husband and wife due to the affection of the people.
She truly envied the Empress for having a husband like His Majesty.
In the dining hall, Lu Yi and Senior Servant Zhu had worked together to create a table of delicious dishes that Xiao Ruyue liked, but was also beneficial to her recovery.
Xiao Ruyue was about to faint from hunger. When she saw food, she threw it all to the back of her mind. As if a vicious wolf pouncing on a sheep, she rolled up her sleeves and started to eat.
Her current feelings were as follows: "Even if you gave me an ox, I would still be able to eat it."
Her current appearance could only be described with a single sentence: Elegant Whirlwind.
As Xiao Ruyue was eating, he ignored everything else and stuffed a big piece of meat into her mouth. Where in this world did she get the reserved and gluttonous look that the empress should have?
"Your Highness, when you were at the Prince's Mansion at that time, you often didn't have enough to eat, but I've never seen you eat in such a heroic manner," Lu Yi couldn't help but retort.
It was as if he was a completely different person.
Yuwen He sat opposite of Xiao Ruyue, eating without taking a single bite, his eyes never leaving her.
It was a pleasure to see her eating.
How wonderful was this atmosphere?
Yin Lin, Lu Yi, Fang Weiyong and the rest knew that they were being excessive and sensibly retreated.
Yuwen He moved the chopsticks and bowls over to Xiao Ruyue's side and considerately helped her scoop up a bowl of soup and pass it to her.
The empress was also hungry, so she took a big gulp and ate another two mouthfuls of rice before eating the meat.
He ate happily.
Yuwen He looked at her with his chin in his hand, and said with great interest: "My Queen, you truly have a true personality."
Xiao Ruyue was startled, and began to cough with all her might — — Unsurprisingly, she choked on the meat that just went down.
True nature your head.
Yuwen He hurriedly handed over the hot soup, then lightly patted Xiao Ruyue's back to ease the anger in her heart. In the end, he couldn't help but accept her supercilious looks.
It's all my fault, the king said innocently.
Empress's Day: Smooth talker.
After glaring at him, he continued to eat.
Xiao Ruyue used her own strength to clean half of the food.
Yuwen He, on the other hand, had not eaten much for a long time.
The empress looked at her "battle record" with a sense of accomplishment. She touched her bulging belly, feeling satisfied. There was pride in her eyes: "Look at the great rivers and mountains that I've built for you."
Yuwen He could not help but laugh.
However, his smile froze in an instant.
Xiao Ruyue, who was patting her stomach to express satisfaction a moment ago, had fallen asleep in front of him right now.
She fell asleep in the blink of an eye, without warning.
Yuwen He caught her in time and tried to call her twice, "Min Er, Min Er!"
No response.
He called out again but Xiao Ruyue still did not react.
He checked Xiao Ruyue's breath, heard her heartbeat, and also felt her pulse. Her breath flowed in and out evenly, and her heart beat after beat was rhythmic and normal.
But she wouldn't wake up.
That's not right.
Yuwen He suddenly remembered the fake Empress Dowager that was lying inside the Phoenix Invitation Palace and felt bad. He carried Xiao Ruyue and walked out while shouting, "Fang Weiyong, summon the imperial physician!"
Fang Weiyong, who was confused, looked at the Empress in His Majesty's arms. His Majesty's face was gloomy, he knew that the situation was serious and did not dare to delay for even a moment longer before running out.
Yin Lin and the others quickly followed.
Qing Qing quickly followed.
"Your Majesty, what happened to the Empress?" Lu Yi asked anxiously.
"I fell asleep." Yuwen He said coldly.
These three words were as cold as the wind in winter, as if they could hurt people.
"Sleeping?" Lu Yi's face was filled with shock. Just now, she had clearly heard the Empress's voice, so how could she have fallen asleep so quickly?
Lu Yi wanted to say something, but was stopped by Yin Lin. Only then did she realise that the king's face was terrifyingly gloomy.
He didn't dare to say anything else and followed closely within the room.
Seeing that, Cai Yin and the rest followed up immediately.
Yuwen He gently put Xiao Ruyue down and called her a few more times, but she did not react at all.
It had to be Ye Haitang!
Just when did she do it?!
Damn it!
Qing Qing fell to her knees with a thud. "My lord, Qing Qing cannot be protected. Please punish her."
"Shut up!" At this moment, Yuwen He's heart was entirely occupied with Xiao Ruyue's safety, and he couldn't care less about anything else.
Qing Qing bit her lower lip, her small face pale. She knelt down on the ground, sweating profusely.
"What happened to the Empress?" Lu Yi was also getting anxious as she rubbed her hands anxiously beside the bed. "Empress, can you hear Lu Yi's voice?"
Yuwen He's expression was already extremely ugly, his face was cold, and a storm was brewing.
Yin Lin was so frightened by Yuwen He that she did not dare say anything. She pulled on Lu Yi's sleeves a few times, but Lu Yi could not even pay attention to her.
Lu Yi was really anxious now. She looked at Yuwen He and then at Xiao Ruyue and was so anxious that she wanted to jump up.
The Empress looked exactly the same as the Empress Dowager lying next door. What if, what if the princess was like the Empress Dowager and could not wake up?
No matter how ugly His Majesty's expression was, what was there to fear? At the most, he'd just be playing with a board!
Lu Yi steeled her heart, stomped her foot, and gritted her teeth as she shouted, "Princess, if you don't get up, you won't have a share in making things out of Lu Yi anymore!"
When she yelled this, Yuwen He, Yin Lin and Qing Qing all looked over. She clenched her fists, resisted the urge to cry, and said while gritting her teeth: "I'll go make some delicious food now."
With that, he walked out quickly.
Yin Lin didn't know what to say.
Yuwen He's face was gloomy, he sat on the side of the bed and pushed Xiao Ruyue a few times, then shouted out a few times, but she did not respond.
He seemed to be in a deep sleep, unable to wake up.
Damn it, after all the calculations, he did not manage to reach this step. That woman was truly invincible!
Yuwen He punched the table, causing it to crumble. The legs of the table were broken into pieces. The exquisite tea set with blue and white flowers and the silver vase fell to the floor, scattering the fragments everywhere.
All the precious offerings that the noble king might not even be able to afford after spending so much money had all turned into scraps.
Yin Lin was so scared that she quickly kneeled down and covered her mouth. She did not even dare to breathe loudly anymore.
"Hurry up, what are those imperial physicians doing!" Yuwen He ordered in a low voice.
"Yes sir!" Yin Lin climbed up quickly and also retreated quickly. Just as sshe was about to step out of the door, he was stopped by Yuwen He, "Wait!"
Her body stiffened as she slowly turned around. "Your Majesty, do you have any other orders?"
Yuwen He: "To see if Miss Liangqiu has returned. If she hasn't, immediately send someone to Courtyard to take a look."
"I'm going to the Courtyard!" Qing Qing who was kneeling on the ground raised her head and confirmed, "I was the one who failed to protect the empress. I'll go and take responsibility for bringing Miss Ya Yin back!"
"Yes." Yuwen He's gaze stayed on her for a moment, then nodded.
Qing Qing took her sword and stood up. Her back was already wet with sweat and her steps were staggering. She was probably too nervous and had overused her strength.
Yin Lin's heart was already in her throat.
She rushed out of the door. It was also because she knew martial arts that she walked quickly. Just as they passed through the imperial garden, they saw Fang Weiyong leading a group of imperial physicians led by Imperial Physician Li.
In fact, the royal doctors came really fast.
However, His Majesty was worried about the empress. Who would dare to say half a word more?
After the royal doctors checked each of Xiao Ruyue's pulse, the Phoenix Palace was invited to fall into a state of deathly silence.
Everyone was kneeling on the ground. No one dared to make a sound, not even a single person daring to breathe.
"What happened to Min Er?" Yuwen He stared coldly at the heads on the ground, all of them burning with rage.
Yet, no one dared to make a sound.
"All of you are mute?!" The dragon's face was filled with rage.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life!" Imperial Physician Li took the lead and shouted.
Immediately after, the other royal doctors s repeated the same words: "Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
"When has Zhen ever said I want your heads? I'm asking, what kind of illness did the empress get!" Yuwen He pressed his palm against the pillar on the bed, his face dark.
If not for the fact that the person lying on the bed at this moment was his most precious and most nervous Xiao Ruyue, this large carved sandalwood bed would have been ruined.
