Yuwen He looked at her quietly, not saying a word.
A quiet, beautiful man.
Xiao Ruyue glared at him.
A good emperor. If you have nothing better to do, learn from him. How shameless.
And don't think you can get away with it just because you act cute.
Xiao Ruyue said with a straight face, "This is just the tip of the iceberg, tell me, what else is there that you are hiding from me?!"
"It's all wrong, esteemed empress. "How would I dare?"
A moment ago, he had claimed to be Our Emperor. But now, with a wail, he almost threw himself at Xiao Ruyue's feet as if he was admitting his wrongs and taking punishment, "I can swear on the book."
"You can't swear to lights." Xiao Ruyue glared at him fiercely, standing up from the soft spot and looking down at him with both hands on her waist.
"I don't care what you did to me before, but from today onwards, you are not to hide it from me. Otherwise, if I find out, you don't have to invite me into the Phoenix Palace. "
After saying that, under Yuwen He's thoughtful gaze, he added: "I can't jump out the window either!"
Yuwen He's face fell as he nodded his head honestly.
"Also, in the future, you will want to know what I do every day." In the future, you will want to know what I do every day. Xiao Ruyue's eyes were sharp like torches, his single sentence having a double effect.
Yuwen He immediately said with a flattering expression, "Whatever the Empress says is true."
"Smooth talker."
"You're the only one with a slippery tongue."
Xiao Ruyue could not help but roll her eyes.
She really lost to him.
Yuwen He raised the teacup at the side of his mouth and said, "Tell me, why did you suddenly think of going to the glazed pavilion today?"
Xiao Ruyue cast a sidelong glance at him and said in a loud voice, "I told you to ask someone else, you know that it doesn't mean anything to me right?"
Yuwen He nodded his head repeatedly, showing his agreement and knowing that he was wrong.
"That's more like it." Xiao Ruyue ignored him, and told him everything that had happened since he went to glazed pavilion. Of course, she didn't say that she had tampered with the pastries, and she wasn't going to tell Emmie about this either.
After all, Emmie still felt sorry for her pastries.
Indeed, she also felt that it would be a waste to waste such a good thing.
After listening, Yuwen He frowned, his eyes became serious, as though he was deep in thought.
After a long while, she finally raised her eyes and smiled at Xiao Ruyue, "You purposely touched the pastries so that Ye Haitang will know the truth and regret nothing."
"Didn't she know in the end?" Xiao Ruyue waved her hands, she had admitted it.
Yuwen He laughed, "When she comes back to her senses, she will notice your little thoughts. However, by then, you would have already arranged everything properly and wouldn't give her any chance to dig it out. She could only sigh at the empty air in front of the palace gate. "
"I admit that I'm petty, but I just want to torment her. It was already magnanimous enough to let her live in the glazed pavilion for so long. If it was not because the time was not right for me to take her life, I would not have let her off so easily. "
Xiao Ruyue was a little annoyed, it was most likely because she went to see Ye Haitang today, and remembered her past.
Now that he saw Yuwen He, he could no longer hold it in.
Sometimes, things could get tiring just by looking at the bigger picture.
However, in order to avenge her parents, in order to investigate the true reason behind Ye Haitang secretly harming her and the Xiao family, and in order to make Yuwen Chenglian pay with his blood, she had endured this entire time.
Thinking about her child that had lost her life to Ye Haitang, thinking about the other child that Yuwen Chenglian had personally killed with his own hands, as well as the huge grudge between his parents, she endured it.
When they were in glazed pavilion today, she really wanted to choke Ye Haitang to death or grab her neck and ask: Why did you make this scene with Feng Yuting? What enmity does my Xiao family have with you?!
She understood that it was not good to ruin Yuwen He's plans, and she did not want her enemy to die too easily.
She was never a big shot who cared about the world. She only wanted to live her own life.
When the great hatred is avenged and the will is granted, it is enough.
In other words, she would continue to hold back before Ye Haitang and the others.
The road to revenge was long.
Xiao Ruyue's face was filled with anger, her eyes filled with killing intent.
Yuwen He held her hand, "Even if you are willing to let her go, we won't let her go. What she has done, I will make her pay tenfold or even a hundredfold! However, Ye Haitang this woman was extremely shrewd, and was not easy to deal with. If you ever want to go to glazed pavilion again, you need to be extra careful. "
Yuwen He's eyes were filled with worry.
Even in the palace, he didn't dare to let his guard down.
Nobody knew how many more of Yuwen Chenglian's spies were left in the palace for Ye Haitang to order around.
"I will bring Yin Lin." Xiao Ruyue promised.
Yuwen He answered with a "En" and said, "Remember to bring Qingqing along when you go out."
Xiao Ruyue did not refute him. For her own safety, it was necessary to bring Qingqing along.
Right now, Yuwen Chenglian was eyeing her covetously, and there was also the great general Yuwen Xiao, who no one could ignore, who had never appeared before. Furthermore, Feng Yuting had already entered the capital, so he was ready to make a move. If he were to go out, she had to make sure that he was unharmed.
Speaking of Feng Yuting, she immediately thought of Yao Ziyan.
That day, Cai Wei brought the evidence of Yuwen Chenglian's crimes into the palace, and traded it for the Rejuvenating Immortal Pill. At the same time, she received a beating, which made Yao Ziyan's trust towards Cai Wei grow even stronger. According to Cai Wei's information, Yao Ziyan already had deep faith in those Rejuvenation Pills, and he ate them with gusto.
Now that he had received the things that Big Sister Ya Yin had given him, Yao Ziyan was extremely greedy and wanted to borrow the medicinal power to keep Yuwen Chenglian alive.
However, what she didn't know was that whether it was the pill or the bottle, they were both her talismans.
Lovesick Gu was a kind of Gu, as the name suggested. Lovesick was entwined, like glue, and also linked together with qi and life vein, one flourishing, one losing, one losing.
The unintentional actions of Big Sister Ya Yin back then, however, laid the groundwork for this day.
Back then, when Liangqiu Yayin gifted Xiao Ruyue with two bugs, she did not recognise them as Gu worms. After that, by chance, one of them entered Yuwen Chenglian's body, and the other was taken away by the Yao Ziyan who harboured evil intentions. But they knew nothing about it.
Lovesick Gu was harmless, it was a good thing for lovers to sense each other. However, once it was catalyzed, it would be extraordinary.
If not for Sister Ya Yin's advice a few days ago, she wouldn't have known how powerful that pair of caterpillars were.
The Lovesick Gu had been in Yuwen Chenglian and Yao Ziyan's bodies for so many years, they had been sleeping. Amongst the Returning Spring Pill that Xiao Ruyue had given away, there was one medicine that could awaken Gu worms.
If one harbors malicious intentions, then one cannot blame the Gu for backlash!
Xiao Ruyue sank into her own thoughts. Suddenly, she felt an itch on her neck as she snapped out of her daze. It was her unreliable husband scratching her.
"Are you sure about what I am thinking about?" Are you thinking about other men? " Yuwen He stared at her in embarrassment.
Xiao Ruyue's face was slightly hot, "Stop messing around, what other men can I think of!?"
However, Yuwen He ignored her and continued to bite her earlobe. This caused Xiao Ruyue to roll her eyes, "What does Your Majesty want to do in broad daylight?"
"Although the empress is the head of the imperial harem, her wife is still the most important." Yuwen He laughed shamelessly, not taking the fact that Xiao Ruyue was staring at him seriously.
Xiao Ruyue had a bad premonition, she immediately changed the topic, "Recently, Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang has been slowly taking over the affairs of the palace. Although she looks soft, she is very methodical in her actions, and is a good helper."
"These are all matters of the imperial harem. You are the empress, so you can make the decision. No need to report to us. " Yuwen He said, but continued to get closer and closer to Xiao Ruyue.
"If I don't report it to you, others will say that I'm a dictator!"
She was in a daze. The handsome face in front of her suddenly enlarged, and a warm feeling covered her lips.
He tossed and turned.
They were entangled.
Xiao Ruyue regained her senses, and angrily pushed him away, "You!"
His voice didn't sound like he was being held accountable, but his words were spoken in a melodious tone.
Xiao Ruyue's face began to boil: How embarrassing.
"In broad daylight. Since there's nothing to do, I might as well do something meaningful." Yuwen He laughed even more evilly as he hugged Xiao Ruyue, causing him to exclaim uncontrollably.
"Yuwen He, what do you want to do? There are still people outside. "
"Since when has there been no one outside?" Yuwen He argued, "Don't worry, they are all people who know their place."
Xiao Ruyue, "…" I actually had nothing to say to that.
The person at the door was sensible and understanding. He knew that his Majesty and the empress loved each other the most, and it was only natural to have a boudoir during the day. Upon hearing the commotion inside, he backed down.
Listening to him talking about the corner of a wall, in the end, it was hard to say whether or not it sounded good.
After nightfall, the palace was quiet.
The glazed pavilion was not popular, but it was gloomy. At this time, most likely no one would come out to walk, thus no one noticed that a person had come out of Ya Nuo's room.
She turned around, and under the candlelight, she could see that it was the lower class palace maid, Autumn Words, who had been working in glazed pavilion all this while.
"Big Sis Qiuyin, I've already begged the empress." But the empress … she … she's unwilling!
"I know." Qiu Ci sighed, indicating that she understood what was going on. "Esteemed Empress won't agree so easily."
Ya Nuo fell into silence, her brows knitted, unable to come up with a solution.
The pain in her body flared up at this moment. She clutched her stomach and crouched down, feeling unbearable pain.
Without hesitation, Qiuyin took out a pill from her body and stuffed it into her mouth, "Although this pill cannot cure the poison, it can ease the pain in front of your eyes. "As for the antidote …"
He said this earnestly and finally fell silent.
After Ya Nuo swallowed the pill, the pain receded, but it was replaced with a bitter expression.
So what if he risked his life? So what if he ended up as the bastard?
Moreover, the current Ye Haitang already had enough to take care of herself.
Two days later, they heard that Thirteen and the others had returned from Huaiyang.
After hearing this news, Lu Yi couldn't sit still anymore. Pouring the tea out, he was lost in thought, and almost poured the water onto Xiao Ruyue's body.
