Xiao Ruyue saw the spring breeze on her face, as well as the impatience on her face, and didn't have the heart to keep her in Palace of the Inviting Phoenix anymore. She waved her hand generously: "If you want to see her, go. Those who don't know it, do think that I have treated them harshly. "

Embarrassed, Lu Yi stamped her feet to show her shyness. "Empress, what are you talking about?"

"The person you want to see has finally returned. How can I stop you from seeing him?" Hurry up and go. If you don't go now, then those who are looking for you will come looking for me. At that time, even if it's not my fault, I'll still have to take the blame. " Xiao Ruyue laughed.

Embarrassed, ashamed and delighted, she covered her face and ran out.

No need for red tape.

As expected, his daughter's heart was on the outside. He thought about meeting the one he loved and even abandoned his own young master.

"It's almost midsummer, and the sun outside is getting more and more poisonous." Yin Lin came in from outside carrying a vase with a lotus flower in it. The lotus flower was newly plucked and there was even dew on it.

Xiao Ruyue laughed and replied, "I've seen the new Xia suit, it's really worth watching."

Hearing Xiao Ruyue's words, Yin Lin was satisfied. Being praised by the Empress was her greatest fortune.

After putting away the vase, Yin Lin suddenly thought of something and asked: "It's the Empress. When I entered, I saw Lu Yi rushing out.

"Yes." Xiao Ruyue smiled and nodded. After taking a glance at Yin Lin, she continued to flip through the papers in the inner courtyard.

"Esteemed Empress, ever since Chong Yue followed Thirteen out, Lu Yi had been looking forward for a long time for Chong Yue's return. Now that he's back, will he still be allowed to leave?"

"Letting him out is your king's decision. I don't have the right to say that." Xiao Ruyue said indifferently, after he finished, he seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Yin Lin seriously. "Come to think of it, if both Lu Yi and Chong Yue are still like this, I will naturally take care of their matters for them. Where's Yin Lin? But do you want to spend the rest of your life in the palace? "

Yin Lin's face heated up, and she felt a little embarrassed. "Empress, why are you talking so much about me with your green clothes? It is already a great fortune for this servant and servant to be able to serve Empress, and thus I dare not ask for anything else. "

If he didn't dare to ask for more, then he would just be thinking about it.

Xiao Ruyue laughed, and did not continue the line of questioning. Yin Lin became even more embarrassed, and quickly tried to explain: "Empress, this servant wants to serve you and your highness, this servant does not dare to have any other thoughts."

"Yes, I understand your loyalty. Don't think too much about it." Xiao Ruyue comforted her.

Yin Lin still wanted to say something, but seeing the Empress looking at him with a gentle smile, she didn't have anything else to say and went to organize the books on the shelves.

In the room, only the sound of Xiao Ruyue flipping through a paper was left, along with her light footsteps.

After a while, Xiao Ruyue kept the things by her side, she looked out the window at the sky, and said: "Yin Lin, get ready, we will go to Manlu Temple to enjoy the incense."

Yin Lin stopped what she was doing and turned around in surprise, "Empress, you want to leave the palace?!"

"Why are you so surprised?" Xiao Ruyue's expression was calm.

Yin Lin realized that she had lost his composure and hurriedly lowered her head, "This servant has lost her composure. Yuwen Chenglian, Feng Yuting and the rest are eyeing them covetously. You are unprepared to leave the palace, if anything happens to you, I will never be able to redeem you! "

As he said that, his knees went weak and he knelt down towards Xiao Ruyue. Looking at her, it seemed that she was quite frightened.

"Just tell your master that Yuwen He is not willing to let me out of the palace. Look at how scared you are. Some people might even think that your master is some kind of evil demon that kills people without batting an eyelid. "

Xiao Ruyue laughed, she did not know if she was pretending to be relaxed or what, but she actually was not worried about the possibility of him encountering such a situation after leaving the palace.

There were people out there, you know, who were eyeing her.

"…"

Yin Lin didn't even dare to breathe loudly, she didn't know what the Empress was singing.

Everyone was well aware of His Majesty's temper. His Majesty held the empress in his hands to prevent her from falling to the ground and melting into nothingness. Once they left the palace gates, they would face many dangers.

If there was a chance, ten heads wouldn't be enough to cut him down.

"Get up. I'll go speak to your king about the matter of leaving the palace myself." Xiao Ruyue said indifferently, and then got up and left the room.

Yin Lin was startled, and quickly followed, "Esteemed Empress, His Majesty is in the royal study, not only is Yue Xiang present, the Xiao Shang Shu is also present. Although you are currently dressed differently from when you were dressed as a man, it is not appropriate for you to meet them face to face, if …."

Yin Lin immediately went forward to stop Xiao Ruyue, and Xiao Ruyue did not continue walking forward, "You're right, you should go ahead and make a trip."

"But …"

"I am not a person made of paper either. Anyone who wishes to harm me will have to ask whether I agree or not. This matter is settled. Go to the imperial study and inform His Majesty that I've changed my clothes to wait for you. "

Xiao Ruyue's tone was unquestionable.

Yin Lin did not dare to say more, and weakly replied "Yes" before leaving.

As he left, he felt vexed. It was hard to say how His Majesty would be angry.

The Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry was also present. Yin Lin was glad that she had stopped the Empress just now, otherwise, when the Empress met with them again and Situ Wu's identity was exposed, the matter would not be good.

At this time, Yin Lin was wearing the uniform of a female servant. She did not recognize her, but upon seeing her disguise, she knew that it was the Empress sending someone over, so she automatically retreated.

Yuwen He let Yin Lin step forward, and Yin Lin whispered into her ear to pass on her words, causing Yuwen He to immediately frown: "Nonsense, why aren't you stopping me?"

Yin Lin said with a look of shame on her face, "This esteemed wangfei will do as she says, how can this servant stop her."

Yuwen He thought that it made sense. With her personality, she could do whatever she wanted, how could Yin Lin control her thoughts?

A pampered smile unconsciously appeared on his face as he ordered, "Let her be. Take good care of her."

Master's compromise came too quickly, Yin Lin was mentally prepared for it, she endured the smile on her face for a moment, then respectfully bowed to Yuwen He and left the royal study.

After Yin Lin left, everyone in the imperial study looked at each other.

This young sovereign had always been stern and expressionless, but now he was smiling in public. Just what was the empress planning to do now?

Yin Lin returned from the royal study and saw that Xiao Ruyue had already changed her clothes.

Xiao Ruyue was dressed in an ordinary looking and waist-length pleated skirt, a short black bamboo skirt with a shirt embroidered with a thicket of bamboo like the one on the bottom of it. The shirt was a light yellow color, it was for the sake of not being too eye-catching.

Xiao Ruyue was still holding onto her veil, prepared for the convenience of going out.

However, Xiao Ruyue was not the only one who was preparing to leave the Phoenix Palace.

General Shen Liang Shen had come back some time ago, and his clothes had also been changed into normal attire. With his weapons, he looked exceptionally handsome.

With Shen Liang by his side, Zhang Xuan felt much more at ease.

Qingqing was still dressed in her usual attire. She usually needed to protect Xiao Ruyue, so no one in the palace knew of her existence but she had never worn her palace attire.

Yin Lin walked up and bowed towards Xiao Ruyue. "Empress, this servant reported this to Your Majesty. Her Majesty only said that I should let you take care of this servant."

"Yes." Xiao Ruyue nodded her head indifferently, she had already guessed that this would happen.

After Yin Lin said "farewell", she also went to change.

Very quickly, Xiao Ruyue brought Shen Liang, Yin Lin and Qing Qing onto the carriage and left the palace. Before leaving, she instructed Cai Yin: "When Qingyi comes back, tell her that I'll be back soon, and will also tell her not to think about it."

Cai Yin's face was filled with envy. Thinking about it, she also wanted to leave the palace very much.

The carriage driver was an experienced carriage driver. After exiting the palace, he went straight for the Manlu Temple.

It was said that the great buddhas of the Manlu Temple were extremely effective, and their incense was at its peak. The citizens of the capital would come and offer incense every now and then, like those who opened shops to do business, or married their daughters and gave birth to sons, all of them would come to the temple to pay their respects.

Without mentioning anything else, everyone said that this person's heart was kind and sincere, and those that came before said that it would work, and the Manlu Temple's flames would naturally become more and more exuberant.

Once he got out of the carriage, Yin Lin saw that there were many people walking around and he became worried.

She lowered her voice. "Esteemed Empress, this person has too many eyes, isn't he?"

"No, it's precisely because there are too many people around that it's hard to make a move on those who are eyeing us like tigers eyeing their prey." Xiao Ruyue comforted her as she patted the back of her hand.

Shen Liang listened to their conversation, expressionlessly observing his surroundings.

The princess had to leave the palace at this point of time, and she only brought the three of them with her through private interviews. If something bad happened, how would she explain it to the king?

However, he could only be conflicted over these words in his heart, unable to say them out loud.

Shen Yin secretly felt a tightening sensation in his heart. His hands tightly gripped his black saber scabbard as he looked left and right warily.

Xiao Ruyue noticed his nervousness, but did not say much, "Let's go." As sshe spoke, he walked up the stairs.

Qing Qing and Yin Lin each stood at their respective positions, protecting Xiao Ruyue on her left and right, Shen Liang at her back.

There were many pilgrims in the Manlu Temple, and Xiao Ruyue's attire was also very ordinary. Her face was even covered with a veil, and was no different from an ordinary lady.

She had two people with swords and sabers by her side, but it did not attract too much attention. After all, these days, the influential nobles all liked to hire martial artists as guards. It was not strange at all.

Thus, Xiao Ruyue's group smoothly entered the Great Hall.

Yin Lin invited three incense sticks of time for Xiao Ruyue. Xiao Ruyue solemnly kowtowed and prayed, kneeling on the praying mat and mumbling to herself for a long time. Finally, she gave the three incense sticks of time to Yin Lin to insert into the incense burner.

Although Qing Qing was very close, she couldn't hear a single word clearly.
