"Empress, Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang has come to pay her respects."

After eating breakfast, Xiao Ruyue was flipping through the books, and came out to report.

Xiao Ruyue's hand paused for a while, then she ordered: "Of course."

Cai Yin left the room, and after a while, brought Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang and He Xiang in.

"Chenqie pays her respects to the empress."

"Your servant Lotus Fragrance kowtows to the empress."

"Alright, get up." Xiao Ruyue indifferently replied, she raised his head and looked at Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie, then lowered his head and started to read.

Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang was also at the same age as the flowers, and her appearance was also very pretty. She came from a noble family, and her makeup was slightly applied.

She didn't come back empty-handed, and in her hand was a food box.

Seeing Xiao Ruyue's cold attitude, Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie hurriedly took the food from her hands. With a face full of smiles, she said, "The Empress has been ill for a few days and has finally recovered from her illness. Chenqie has specially come to pay respects. "This is a little bit of dessert that chenqie made. Although it is not comparable to the culinary arts of the imperial palace's chefs and the palace's green girl s, it is still a little bit of kindness that chenqie has. I hope that the Empress will not reject it."

As he said this, he opened the lid of the food box. Inside was a green bean cake and a Guanyin Soup Dumplings.

"Thank you, Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang." Xiao Ruyue only took a glance and indicated for Yin Lin to take it, but he did not let Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie take a seat.

Xiao Ruyue flipped to another page of the book, then looked at Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie. "Why is Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang still standing there? There's no need to stand on ceremony after entering the Phoenix Invitation Palace, sit down, everyone in the palace are our sisters." These words were polite, but there was no warmth in them at all.

Wang Mu did not refuse, and found a place to sit down.

He Xiang was displeased at the empress giving her mistress face, and gave a snort in her heart.

However, Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie was different. After experiencing a few incidents, she had become smarter. The current her was regretful that she was incited by the Imperial Consort Ye to create trouble at Phoenix Palace.

Xiao Ruyue ordered Lu Yi to serve the tea as she continued to read the book in her hands.

"How does the Empress feel today?" Your consort feels that the Empress's illness has just recovered and it would be better for you to rest more. "

Hearing that, Xiao Ruyue's action paused, she looked at Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie and asked, "What does Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang mean?"

Who would have thought that she would ask such a question, scaring Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie so much that she quickly kneeled down. "Your consort has been too talkative, your consort knows her wrongs."

"Get up." Xiao Ruyue said indifferently, as she flipped the book upside down on the table, "I don't blame you for your actions, don't panic."

Wang Lu hesitated on whether or not he should get up, but Xiao Ruyue turned her head and instructed Yin Lin: "Aren't you still saying that you have captured someone and do not know how to deal with it?

Yin Lin quickly answered and left.

Lotus Fragrance supported Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie, both master and servant were confused.

Xiao Ruyue saw through their thoughts, she smiled: "There's no rush, we'll see in a while."

Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang and Huo Xiang looked at each other for a moment before sitting down.

After a while, Yin Lin came back, followed by two young eunuchs who were holding onto a person.

"Empress, we have brought him." Yin Lin bowed towards Xiao Ruyue.

Xiao Ruyue acknowledged and indicated for her to bring the person in.

Only then was Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang and Lotus able to see that the person was also dressed as a waiter, but had her hat taken off, her head lowered, and some dirt on her body, making it difficult to see clearly.

"Esteemed empress, what does that mean?" Suddenly, a person was pushed forward, causing Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang to panic.

Xiao Ruyue smiled calmly on the surface, and said: "Don't panic Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang, this person was caught unintentionally in the palace a few days ago. She used her position to steal some of the palace's treasures and sold them outside the palace. But he confessed that she had been ordered to do some other bad things, and now that you're here, I'll show you. "

Although Xiao Ruyue was smiling, Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie was intimidated by her smile. She kept feeling that there was something behind the Empress's smile.

Xiao Ruyue paused, then said to the young eunuch: "Raise your head."

The eunuch slowly raised his head.

When He Xiang heard the empress's words, she had her curiosity piqued, but when she saw what that person looked like, she sucked in a breath. "It's him!"

"Who?" Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie was shocked by her expression.

"That's him! He's the one who sent the poison dim sum to our Blue palace! " He Xiang was so excited that she almost jumped up.

How long had he been searching for this person? He finally appeared!

Hearing that, Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie's head buzzed for a second, "Are you sure?"

"Absolutely true! It was this person! He almost caused the Empress to lose her life. He Xiang's tone was firm and filled with overflowing anger, wishing that he could slap him in the face.

Xiao Ruyue looked at both the lotus flower and Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie, then ordered Yin Lin: "Go and call that girl Cai Yin in to take a look."

Yin Lin did not dare to be negligent, and quickly came in. After bowing to Xiao Ruyue, she followed the order and looked in the direction of the little eunuch with a blank expression.

"That's the guy!" "It's precisely you, a bastard who has been slashed a thousand times! You actually impersonated as the Emperor and sent poison to the Empress's nest!?" If not for Sister Yin Lin's cleverness, the Empress would have lost her life! "I'll beat you to death while I …"

"Enough." Xiao Ruyue interrupted her when she was at her most excited, instructing Yin Lin, "Since it's confirmed that it's this person, then let's do it like the palace rule."

"Empress, please forgive this servant's boldness. This servant has something to say." Lotus held back the anger in her heart and stood out to fight for her master.

Xiao Ruyue raised her eyebrows slightly but did not say a word.

"Esteemed empress, didn't you say just now that this person was ordered to poison someone?" The empress didn't ask who the person behind the order was, but took him in and sentenced him to death. Did she intend to protect some people? "

Xiao Ruyue frowned slightly, Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang anxiously held on to Lotus and knelt down, "Esteemed Empress, chenqie has no control over the situation. The places that she has hit are all chenqie's fault, please punish her."

He Xiang's brain was in a rush as well. Seeing that Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie had knelt down, she quickly followed suit and kowtowed as well. "Esteemed empress, it's all this servant's fault. It's none of my esteemed wangfei's business!"

Xiao Ruyue responded with a "En", but her face was already slightly sunken. "Since you know you're wrong, then kneel. Yin Lin. " She suddenly called out.

"What kind of crime do you have to be guilty of if you dare to go against me, the palace rule?"

"It can be light or heavy." Yin Lin deliberated for a moment, and said these four words.

Xiao Ruyue muttered to herself for a moment, then expressionlessly swept a glance at Lotus Fragrance: "Drag him out and beat up ten great boards, to make an example for others."

"Then what about the mastermind behind the poison?"

"Of course we'll deal with them together. Not only did she poison others, but she also framed them. How can the imperial harem of Grand Xia accommodate such a narrow-minded girl with ill intentions? " Xiao Ruyue's words were filled with anger, as he stood up.

When the Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie heard the three words "Autumn Beauty", she was stunned. How could it be the "Autumn Beauty"?

A strange expression appeared on He Xiang's face. 'Beauty Qiu … she's obviously …'

The master and the servant looked at each other, their hearts were weak, and for a moment, they were filled with mixed emotions.

After Xiao Ruyue finished explaining the things to Yin Lin, she flicked her sleeves and left. However, when she reached the door, he retreated back, staring at Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang and He Xiang, she slowly revealed a smile.

"If a female from the Grand Xia Aristocrat Clan dares to be so impudent upon entering the palace, does that mean that they would be bullying my mother's family thousands of miles away with no backers to support them?"

Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang fell down and sat on the ground, her face pale.

Could the empress know everything? Was she a prophet or did she have a pair of eyes that allowed her to see through everything?

Lotus Fragrance cried out in pain as she was dragged out and beaten ten times. It's hard to walk when you go back.

During the process of hitting the board, Yin Lin had already passed down the Empress's imperial orders: The Autumn Beauty ordered her eunuchs to poison her children, and even tried to frame her children. The evidence was conclusive, that is, the eunuchs who threw poison into the cold palace were to be sentenced to death.

Within moments, the news had spread throughout the palace.

Some people began to discuss how the empress had been sick for a few days and had kept quiet as soon as she was well. Maybe she found a scapegoat to take the blame for them. Who didn't know that Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang had been poisoned at that time?

One could imagine the intentions of the people that discussed it.

The empress, however, didn't seem to care and laughed it off. At this time, she was accompanying the Empress Dowager in conversation, and did not have time to listen to the gossip outside.

"I've heard that the empress is a woman with thunderous means, I've finally seen it for myself today." Empress Dowager's son suddenly said.

In the end, she was a princess of a neighbouring country. In the eyes of this Empress Dowager, she was still an outsider.

Xiao Ruyue picked up a son and calmly said: "Empress Dowager is too kind, my wife is only following the orders of the palace rule. Previously, Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang was poisoned and framed. Since this matter has already been investigated, there is no reason why we should not return her justice. "

"What about the Autumn Beauty?" The Empress Dowager said.

Xiao Ruyue had already guessed that this question would come, and calmly placed the white piece in her hand down. Only then did she reply: "Autumn Beauty has made it clear that someone had set up a trap for a crime, this is my wife's heart."

"Eh, forget it." Now that the palace is the empress's responsibility, it makes sense for the empress to punish us. " Empress Dowager sighed.

She was even worried that the empress's treatment of the beauty would make the Qiu Family unhappy and cause grievances in their hearts. If even the empress didn't mind, what could an old woman like her worry about?

Xiao Ruyue's hand that was going to grab onto Bai Zi paused slightly, she held onto Empress Dowager's hand and sincerely said: "Thank you for your concern, my wife Sun is truly grateful."

Empress Dowager didn't know how to react for a moment.
