"Why is it that the Prince refuses to listen?" The Flowing Sand Pavilion Master laughed softly, but his laughter was sinister.

Yuwen Chenglian shuddered inexplicably.

He heard the Flowing Sand Pavilion Master say darkly, "Prince, I believe you must have dreamt of many good things. His Royal Highness definitely didn't know that he had slept for almost four days? In three days and more than four days, it would be enough time for Yuwen He to turn your entire background upside down. By now, the entire Grand Xia knows that you intend to rebel. After leaving this prison, you won't even have a skeleton remaining.

The Flowing Sand Pavilion Master's words were like a bucket of water in the winter.

Yuwen Chenglian's face was pale white, "How is this possible, how is it possible that Yuwen He …"

"Prince Wei, the ability of that nephew of yours is not something that you can compare to. The things that you thought you had done perfectly, had all been turned upside down by Yuwen He. There's also your beloved consort, she knows your bottom line the best.

Hearing that it was related to Yao Ziyan, Yuwen Chenglian's face turned from pale white to black.

This woman!

Yao Ziyan, you prodigal bitch!

This King will be killed by you sooner or later!

Yuwen Chenglian angrily smashed his fist onto the ground.

"And now, only I can protect your life. I can also help you find that princess of yours whose whereabouts are and make her pay the price she deserves. Your Royal Highness, please consider whether or not you want to cooperate with me. "

Yuwen Chenglian lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

After thinking for a while, he proudly raised his head and said, "Alright, This King will work together with you!"

Ever since he discovered the truth of the rouge and cosmetic powder that was sold by the Cigarette Water Pavilion, Yuwen He's men had always been working simultaneously, whether on the surface or in the shadows.

On the surface, Yu Lin Guards, the patrolling camp and the Beijing Zhaoyin were doing their best to search for traces of the Wei Wang couple. Secretly, while the people from the Herba Phoenixis were helping to search for the whereabouts of Yuwen Chenglian and Yao Ziyan, they had finally gathered all of the twenty odd outer rooms Yuwen Chenglian was in.

According to what Yao Ziyan had said, these people were also using Cigarette Water Pavilion's rouge and cosmetic powder, and they might even be one of Feng Yuting's targets.

It was impossible to gather all the victims in the capital, but at least they had to seize the upper hand in the battle.

If Feng Yuting stayed in the palace, she would not be even a step away from Ye Haitang. Thirteen had always guarded the glazed pavilion the entire time. Whether Feng Yuting went in or out, she would chase him with all her might.

After going back and forth for a while, Thirteen finally realized something. Feng Yuting had faked borrowing the name of the Inn to sneak back to the Flowers and Moons because it was convenient for him to do so. Not only was this woman an expert at using poison, she was also an expert at disguising herself. It was a good thing that Thirteen's skills were outstanding and she never lost her.

Liangqiu Yayin and Tang Jingzhi took a sample of Cigarette Water Pavilion's rouge from the Beijing Zhaoyin's treasury. Although the two of them had been quarreling non-stop, poisoning each other whenever they saw each other, they had never been ambiguous when it came to big matters.

Hearing Chong Yang say that they had followed Sister Ya Yin's instructions and looked around for all kinds of poisonous bugs, they were all scared to death. As for the Tang Divine Doctor, his demands were much more normal. As long as he had the herbs, it was fortunate that he had all the ingredients in the Imperial Palace, and whatever he wanted was there as well. Furthermore, he had copied the Wei Wang Manor a few days ago.

Yuwen He was also extremely busy, his feet not touching the ground. These few days, the marble temple, the Ministry of Justice and the history table were dealing with the accomplices to the King Wei case. The iron ore, the weapons, and the thousands of innocent civilian workers had to be properly arranged. He could not afford to be idle.

While others were busy until the sky went dark, Xiao Ruyue was also not willing to stay idle. Although Yuwen He had taken the two boxes of cosmetics, they were given to Liangqiu Yayin and as ingredients to research the poison that Feng Yuting had placed in them.

Yuwen He had told her over and over again that the empress had to rest and not work hard when she was pregnant. He even asked Yin Lin and Qing Qing to follow by her side and watch her every now and then.

After Yuwen He went up to the Imperial Court, Xiao Ruyue also stood up to dress, and after using a simple morning meal and Body Nourishment Medicinal Solution, she went into the small pharmacy.

Yin Lin and Qing Qing who were behind had a difficult expression on their faces. "Esteemed Empress, you should go and rest. If Your Majesty finds out that we are indulging you, I'm afraid …"

Yin Lin wanted to say something but hesitated.

Xiao Ruyue turned her head around after hearing what she said, "If you don't tell me, then I won't. I'll just go back and rest as soon as possible, who would know?"

Yin Lin, "Empress!"

There was a saying, "There is no wall without air." There was also a saying, 'paper cannot stop burning'. Although this situation isn't appropriate, once the Lord knows that we are secretly indulging you, we will be like that wall, and he will have to tear apart the bricks into pieces.

Xiao Ruyue frowned unhappily, she held the flawless porcelain bottle tightly, "You are afraid that your Clan Master will scold you, but are you not afraid that I will get angry?" Narrowing her eyes, she exuded majesty.

Yin Lin took a step back, causing Qing Qing to bite her lower lip, not daring to say a word, for she was afraid that the bottle in the Empress's hand would throw at him.

It was said that inside was a highly toxic venom, causing living creatures to whimper when they came into contact with it. The empress looked so beautiful and gentle, so why did she like something so dangerous?

Moreover, the lord had given the order to kill to keep an eye on the Empress. If the lord knew that they were indulging the Empress, even ten heads wouldn't be enough to behead her.

Qing Qing was afraid of the brown bottle, so she took a step back.

Only then did Xiao Ruyue let out a satisfied smile, and used a wooden stopper to stopper the bottle of brown glaze without any pattern, casually placing it on the platform that was piled with green bricks.

Taking a few more steps, he took a dark brown clay pot from the cabinet and placed it on the platform.

As soon as the wooden lid of the jar was removed, a faint fishy smell drifted out.

"Empress." Yin Lin was so shocked that she immediately rushed forward, wanting to see what was inside. Xiao Ruyue's hands moved even faster, she grabbed the lid and closed it, "Wait at the door."

His tone was calm, but it was without a doubt.

Yin Lin stayed where she was and refused to leave. "Esteemed Empress, Her Majesty has ordered that you cannot …"

"Do you think I will bleed myself? I'm in terrible pain. "Let's go out." Xiao Ruyue's expression was calm, there were no signs of panic at all.

It did not seem like he was going to let his own blood out to do anything.

It was not wise for Yin Lin to openly disobey the Empress's orders, so she could only drag Qing Qing away to the door.

Xiao Ruyue watched as they walked out. Although the door wasn't closed, he was relieved.

She only said that she wouldn't bleed now, and there was no guarantee that she wouldn't.

There was one thing that she had been hiding from Yuwen He and her sister Ya Yin. It was that when Yao Ziyan had delivered the rouge to her, she already knew that there was a problem with it. After Feng Yuting entered the capital, she kept a close eye on him.

At that time, it was unintentional. She originally wanted to give some of her blood to the Jade Silkworm Gu, but in the end she sprinkled some of the powder out. She swept the powder into a plate, and the blood just dripped into it. She never thought about it. It was only when Big Sister Ya Yin mentioned it that she suddenly remembered.

Coming over to take a look, it was quite shocking.

"The Empress chased all of you out?" Seeing Yin Lin and Qing Qing coming out with their tails between their legs, Lu Yi's face was filled with sympathy.

The latter looked at her and sighed, as if he had already seen the blade on his neck.

The empress was busy taking care of herself in the pharmacy. The sun was rising, so her lord should've been busy long ago.

Yin Lin couldn't wait any longer and was about to drill into the pharmacy, but who knew, a figure suddenly appeared and blocked her path …

Xiao Ruyue dove head first into a pile of bugs in the pharmacy, and unknowingly forgot the time.

Inside the bottles and jars were all kinds of poisonous insects and snakes, and each one of them was highly toxic. If a normal person were bitten by it, they would have no chance of survival. Just a glance was enough to make one's scalp tingle.

These things that a normal girl would feel fear for were treasures in Xiao Ruyue's eyes. The way she looked at them was much gentler than when she looked at Yao Ziyan and the others.

Even though the venomous bugs were poisonous, they could still save lives if used properly. As such, the poison of a Gu, the thought of killing someone, or even saving someone, all depended on the user.

The Jade Silkworm Gu's fat body was resting on the back of her hand, looking like an ordinary big white bug, even cuter than a plump silkworm.

However, all the venomous insects and snakes seemed to have obediently died when they smelled the Jade Silkworm Gu's unique aura, not daring to move at all.

Xiao Ruyue touched the Jade Silkworm Gu lightly, and the fat and short bugs curled up into a ball. Only then did the venomous insects, which were usually dead, dare to move. Xiao Ruyue dripped venom into the bottles, and the venomous bugs seemed to have intelligence.

The scene was spectacular.

Or perhaps, fear? If someone else were to see it, they would definitely be terrified.

After all the bugs had crawled in, Xiao Ruyue quickly put a red cloth stopper on top of the lid, and finished.

The Jade Silkworm Gu spread out again, sleeping on the back of her hand. She hugged the dark brown enamel jar and laughed contentedly.

With this, it might be useful to Big Sister Ya Yin and the others.

Suddenly, a large bracelet was placed on her waist. The smile on her face suddenly stopped. She turned her head around and saw that the brown enamel altar in her arms had been snatched away from her.

"Who is it!" She shouted out, just as she was about to call out to Yin Lin and Qing Qing.

Her warm lips, without any warning, covered her ears as her entire body trembled. A deep and mellow voice sounded out next to her ear, "Little girl, it's only been four hours since we last met, can't you recognize your husband's scent?"

While speaking, his hand tightened around her waist, turning Xiao Ruyue around and bending over to kiss the vermilion lip.

His thin lips pressed down on her. This was his domineering attitude that always went straight to the point of invading the city. Among them, there was no lack of gentleness and meticulous carving.

Unknowingly, Xiao Ruyue loosened her body and leaned into his embrace, handing over all of her body and mind to him …
