"Wei Wangfei probably forgot to do something important, which was why they left in such a hurry." Xiao Ruyue said in all seriousness.
She would lie with her eyes open.
"But Wei Wangfei, she …"
"Ying Yue, the Empress has been busy the entire morning and has not been able to rest even up until now. Let the empress rest first. "
Wang Mu was skeptical, and wanted to say more, but was stopped by the Mrs. Wang.
Xiao Ruyue looked towards the direction of the Mrs. Wang. The two times Mrs. Wang had chimed in was enough to show that even if the Mrs. Wang did not want to pull the Wang Family over to her side, she would at least be fine.
However, this was far from enough.
"Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang, I am tired today, so I shall leave everything in your care." Xiao Ruyue pinched the side of her nose, revealing an exhausted look, she said to Yin Lin: "If I am not here, then it will be decided by you and Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang. If there are any hard decisions, just look for Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang. "
"Yes, esteemed empress." Yin Lin bowed.
Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang also agreed, but her face revealed surprise.
If it was a disaster, then he'd find her. Was the empress determined to give up power? She was just a small Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie, how would she dare to take the power in the empress's hands?
Mrs. Wang was also surprised when she heard this. The Empress's motive could not be any clearer.
If the harem was taken care of by the Empress, Imperial Consort Ye and the rest would not dare to go overboard. However, if Ying Yue was to take over, a mere Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie like her wouldn't have the support of the Empress. If the Imperial Consort Ye or someone else made a ruckus, how would she be able to suppress him?
This was clearly a trap.
Mrs. Wang immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Xiao Ruyue did not give them a chance to speak further, she supported Lu Yi and left.
Xiao Ruyue was indeed tired from waking up early in the morning, and it was not an excuse, she had to drink a ginseng soup to last so long.
Once inside the room, she couldn't hold on any longer. She got help from Lu Yi to remove the jewelry on her head, change her clothes, and head towards the bed before falling asleep as soon as she touched the pillow.
When Lu Yi saw that she had fallen asleep in an instant, she covered herself with a blanket and tucked her in. Then, she left the room.
Qingqing had already entered the room without a sound.
"green girl, is the princess well?"
Once Lu Yi stepped out of the door, she met Shen Liang.
Due to Xiao Ruyue getting pregnant, Shen Liang would recently stay in the palace and not go anywhere. Xiao Mansion already had someone else arranged by Yuwen He to protect them.
"The Empress is still fine, but too tired. When the Empress wakes up later, we will call the Imperial Physician Fang over to take a look. " Lu Yi replied and frowned.
Shen Liang thought that something was wrong with Xiao Ruyue and asked, "Princess, is there something wrong?"
"No, no." Lu Yi was shocked by Shen Liang's sullen expression and his suddenly raised voice. She hastily waved her hand, "Lower your voice, don't wake the Empress up."
Shen Liang's face changed slightly, "I'm sorry."
Lu Yi lowered her eyes and shook her head. "I'm just worried that the Empress is pregnant, and I'll have to put my mind at ease to guard against those people's hidden attacks." There was a Imperial Consort Ye in the palace who had always regarded the Empress as a thorn in her side, and that Wei Wangfei had all sorts of ill intentions towards the Empress. This woman seems to be much more difficult to deal with than the Imperial Consort Ye. Who knows if they will still take the opportunity to poison the Empress again. "
"The Empress has suffered so much, suffered so much, and even the child in her womb is now very easy to conceive, but she can no longer bear the torment."
"Yes." Shen Liang replied, "I will do my best to protect the princess."
Green-clothed was immersed in her own sadness and began to mutter again. Then, as if she had thought of something, she scampered off.
He mumbled, "He definitely has a way."
Lu Yi knew where she could find Chong Yue.
Ever since he had returned from Huaiyang, Chong Yue had been sent on a mission to officially become one of Yu Lin Guards. It was easy to monitor the movements of the glazed pavilion from the shadows to the light.
Lu Yi knew that he had probably just returned from his patrol and was running back to his room.
People like them, who were at the side of His Majesty, would definitely have a way out.
Xiao Ruyue slept for four hours without any dreams.
When she woke up, she had missed her lunch because no one dared to wake her up.
She woke up in a daze, wanting to turn over, but something was pressing down on her. It was already mid-June, and the weather was getting hotter.
The body beside him was like a furnace.
Xiao Ruyue suddenly opened her eyes.
To everyone's shock, they saw Yuwen He's handsome face in close proximity.
His eyebrows were as sharp as a knife, and his eyes were closed and long. His lips were thin, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised in his sleep, as if he was in a beautiful dream.
His strong arms encircled her and restricted her movements, trapping her within the square of his chest and preventing her from moving.
She tried to struggle free, but her dark jade-like eyes slowly opened.
With a pair of black eyes that was slightly sleepy, Xiao Ruyue's gaze became filled with laughter. Her long and narrow phoenix eyes seemed to be filled with starlight, shining brightly.
"He woke up." His voice was originally low and magnetic, but now that he was still drowsy, it added a bit of warmth and quietness to it. It was like a wine that could intoxicate people just by smelling it.
"Yes." Xiao Ruyue replied in a low voice.
Yuwen He relaxed the strength in his hands, allowing Xiao Ruyue to move her body freely. She rested her head on his chest, her slender fingers tracing a circle across the thin layer of his tunic.
The light that sneaked in through the window told her that it was already past noon and that she was not in a hurry since she was still feeling lackadaisical.
"When did you return? How did you end up being lazy? "
"You can't say that you're slacking off by accompanying Madam to rest." Yuwen He boasted shamelessly as he rubbed Xiao Ruyue's head with her large palm, messing up her hair.
"Are you tired of getting up early this morning to busy yourself? I heard that the woman surnamed Feng was not easy to deal with. If you don't like her, you can just let Yin Lin go greet her if there's anything in the future.
"That won't do." When Xiao Ruyue told her to rest, she got anxious. She was so excited that she wanted to sit up, but Yuwen He held him by the waist and brought him back before she could even stand up.
Xiao Ruyue glared at him, "It's only a matter of time before we deal with that woman. Now that she has sent over the national doctor specializing in's treatment as a Tartar, and has spies like Yao Ziyan and Yuwen Chenglian helping her out of the palace, if I, the empress, continue to hide, and allow a maid to step in, those who do not know of it would think that I am going to openly challenge the Tartar. "
"Let's do it openly, it's nothing much. "My empress likes it, anything will do." Yuwen He said that calmly and casually, as if he did not care.
You prodigal emperor! He spoke as if the title of emperor was like a green carrot in a market. It was nothing special if he wanted to sell it as he wished.
Xiao Ruyue was angry. She pinched the soft flesh on his waist hard, causing Yuwen He to scream out loud, but very quickly, he looked at Xiao Ruyue with a meaningful and thoughtful gaze. "My wife, could it be that you are thinking about your husband's body? But Imperial Physician Fang said that it's not suitable to sleep. "
"" Xiao Ruyue's face was hot.
You don't have to tease people like that!
She exerted more strength in her hands and pinched Yuwen He's waist again.
He had used all of his strength to drink the milk.
Yuwen He asked, "Madam, are you planning to murder your husband? "Can you bear to have your child have no father even before it is born?"
I couldn't tell if he was in pain or not, but I could tell that he was very talkative.
Xiao Ruyue, "…"
"Let me see if my hand is hurting." Yuwen He held Xiao Ruyue's hands and looked.
He placed the flank of his finger on his lips and kissed. Looking at Xiao Ruyue, he said gently: "For this kind of manual labor, leave it to my husband. You just have to say it, and let your husband strip you of your identity. Don't be angry. "
Xiao Ruyue, "…" This emperor really doesn't care about face at all.
What about the cold when they first met, the cold when they were at the highest point? Did they feed the dogs now?!
Xiao Ruyue's heart was thumping hard.
He threw the quilt over her head and got out of bed. He was caught off guard and lifted her up by her waist. Xiao Ruyue exclaimed, "What are you doing?"
"You've already missed your lunch break. Even if you want to sleep, you need to eat your fill before sleeping. If you don't think about the child in your belly, you think about your body. " Yuwen He placed her down on the soft bed and took out the blue silk Eight Treasures Flying Moon Robe Dress. At first, Xiao Ruyue blinked in confusion, but then he realized it and looked at him in surprise.
"Is His Majesty waiting on chenqie to change clothes?" A sly smile flickered in her intelligent eyes.
Yuwen He shook his finger, and said: "This is not Your Majesty helping the Empress change her clothes, this is to help husband dress his wife, the joy of a husband and wife's room."
He paused for a moment, then added: "This morning, your clothes were stained with too many people's scent, especially those two unlucky women, I was afraid that you would get sick after putting them on, so I told Yin Lin to throw them away."
Lost!
Although she felt that it was a little overboard, in a certain sense, Yuwen He's worry was not without reason.
Xiao Ruyue was unexpectedly speechless towards this, and tacitly acknowledged his actions.
The profoundness of that woman, Feng Yuting, could be clearly seen from how she was only an official prostitute at the time, but now, she had managed to start such a huge business in the Red Sleeve House, and even wanted to use Yuwen Chenglian and the others to usurp Western Summer River.
This morning, all of Feng Yuting's actions were also revealing something, step by step, she was plotting everywhere.
But she felt that Feng Yuting had something she couldn't see through.
A shadow quickly flashed through Xiao Ruyue's mind, but she couldn't grasp what it was.
With a cold shoulder, Yuwen He actually took off the pink colored clothes on her body.
Yuwen He really kept what he said.
She wanted to push him away, but when she received his star-like gaze, Xiao Ruyue did not move, and allowed him to do as he pleased.
The fiery hot palm landed on her shoulder. It was boiling hot, much hotter than the blazing sun outside …
