The robbery was no small matter, especially at such a sensitive time.

Xiao Ruyue put down her chopsticks, holding a porcelain spoon in her hand, she unenthusiastically stirred the porridge. Her thoughts quickly flashed past her eyes, and then disappeared.

"My lord has been infuriated by the prison robbery and has not dispersed since long ago." Yin Lin said with a face full of worry.

Xiao Ruyue glanced at her and continued to ponder, trying her best to figure out the crux of the problem.

Who would have done this?

Is it Yuwen Xiao? Or Yuwen Chenglian?

If it was the Great General, it shouldn't be. If he wanted to rebel, he could just ascend the mountain and shout. Furthermore, with his lightning-fast abilities, if he wanted to seal a person like Liu Yuan from speaking, it definitely wasn't going to be a robbery, but rather, he would directly and viciously send Liu Yuan and that Jingzhou of his to the west.

If Yuwen Chenglian was the one who did this, then the reason would be simple and direct. He had spent so much time and effort not to kill people, but to save them. Or perhaps, it was for a purpose that no one else could replace.

What was so important that he would not hesitate to kidnap and take Liu Yuan away? Furthermore, he had also silenced Jingzhou's Stinger, but only Jingzhou remained to pass judgement?

No, that's not right.

Xiao Ruyue continued to ask, "How exactly did the prisoner robbery happen? When and where was he robbed? "How many people have come, how skilled are they, and how many injuries have the followers and guards suffered?"

Yin Lin suddenly asked her so much, as she carefully thought back to what she had said earlier, and recounted it one by one.

"It was something that happened two days ago at night that sent officer army away. Even if those people would attack at night, they would have already prepared themselves, but they never thought that it would be easy to dodge an arrow in the middle of the night. The other party had secretly poisoned them, and even the officials from the Inn, the coachmen and the horses were all infected by the poison, it was too late for them to react. They did not kill the soldiers, but rather tied up Liu Yuan and the other two, and killed the Jingzhou's Ci Shi in front of all the officer army s, and then stabbed and injured them, and then brought Liu Yuan away. officer army and the rest waited until the sun rose before they regained their consciousness. The coachman climbed out of the back door and shouted for help, only then did the passerby report to the yamen.

Xiao Ruyue frowned when she heard her.

She had always felt that something was off.

If Yuwen Chenglian robbed the prisoners and stole Liu Yuan away for his unspeakable purpose, how could he possibly have killed Jingzhou Stinger for the sake of silencing him? Once the twenty to thirty officer army recovered their strength, they would not be easy to deal with. He really didn't need to leave the Jingzhou to deal with that live one. It doesn't make sense. That he found out and didn't hurt the innocent? Who would have thought that a person like Yuwen Chenglian would have such a conscience.

If it was said that Yuwen Xiao was the one who did the midnight prisoner robbery, killing him while piercing through history, and then leaving the Jingzhou to make a verdict, it didn't seem like something that a great general would do after planning. If he wanted to kill someone, he would not leave anyone with any clues.

She had a nagging feeling that this time, the purpose of the prisoner robbery was not just to take away Liu Yuan and kill Jingzhou.

A thought suddenly flashed across Xiao Ruyue's mind, and then she thought of an even more important matter: "Oh right, what other great event happened today?"

If it was only because someone had intercepted Jingzhou's Shi Shi and kidnapped Liu Yuan, they would not have survived until now. There must be something bigger going on.

Yin Lin looked away, and it seemed that it was true.

"Anything else?" "Speak."

Yin Lin did not dare to hesitate, and told the truth.

"When the sun rose this morning, the so-called report was posted among the cities in the city. The report declared in the tone of the King of Wei that he had never had the intention to rebel, that everything had been framed by someone, and that His Majesty wanted him to give him a chance to clear his name for the sake of his kin. Do not let the wall of desolation be your enemy. "

He recited the order again with genuine emotion.

Xiao Ruyue could not help but sneer.

Now that the evidence was conclusive, Yuwen Chenglian only needed to capture him, the culprit, and bring him to justice. Yet, Yuwen Chenglian popped out at this time saying that he had been framed, wasn't this pointing at him scolding him, saying that the Emperor was controlling the Three Divisions behind his back to give him a crime?

He even said that taking into account the fact that they were related by blood, he shouldn't give anyone the chance to destroy their own flesh and blood. How long would it take for him to use the title of Royal Uncle?

Where did someone who wanted to do something like this come from? He was talking about people who had ordered him to do all this behind his back. His words seemed to make a lot of sense, but they were all serious nonsense.

If he had not thought of such things, why would he have brought his men to stop the arrest and escape? [It is truly unfair. How can I explain the countless treasures in the Crown Prince's Palace?] He said he was wronged. Could it be that after all these years, it was someone else who framed him? This framing was too arduous.

Like this, which one of them wasn't just giving themselves a slap in the face?

Being disgusted by his words so early in the morning, Xiao Ruyue completely lost his appetite and asked Lu Yi to remove the treasure.

Lu Yi hesitated for a moment. "Empress, why don't you take a few more bites?" She looked worried.

Seeing the Empress's expression change, how could she not be worried?

Xiao Ruyue smiled and shook his head, "No worries, I'll eat something else later."

After hearing her guarantee, Lu Yi felt relieved and carried away the square plate of red lacquer.

If not for these orders, Xiao Ruyue would not have been able to determine who was the culprit and the culprit. Now that she thought about it, the culprit who robbed those prisoners was without a doubt, Yuwen Chenglian. Or rather, it was the person given to him by the Flowing Sand Pavilion's master who wanted him to capture a prisoner.

If what he said was true, that he was innocent, that it was all someone else's fault, then why would he need to rob a prisoner?

The front and the back are inconsistent and self-contradictory.

Xiao Ruyue thought about it and made up her mind. She said: "Yin Lin, go and find out more about this matter. See what happened during the report and the details of the prisoner robbery."

Yin Lin was startled, she felt like she had been struck in the foot with a rock.

"Empress, it's not time yet." "Why don't you ask His Majesty in person when the court ends?"

"Wait for him to come back and ask him?"

Yin Lin glanced at the lines that she had prepared, and swallowed the latter half of the sentence she was about to say, and nodded.

Xiao Ruyue grinned, "I've already said what I shouldn't have said, and I don't mind talking more."

Yin Lin's expression was gloomy, as she resigned and left.

After a while, Cai Yin came in and reported that Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang had come.

Xiao Ruyue gave an invitation, put on a set of moon-white epiphyllum Big Sleeves s and went out.

The purpose of Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang coming over was nothing more than to discuss the matters of the palace, reporting the major and minor matters to her one by one. She could decide on a small matter, but she would have to listen to the empress's ruling in a big matter.

Xiao Ruyue acknowledged Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie's abilities. This Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie was indeed worthy of being the daughter of the Wang family, she was meticulous and kind, treating matters fairly. Although she was not as calm and magnanimous as her mother, she was not bad either, what she lacked now was only a round of experience.

Xiao Ruyue drank some tea and occasionally nodded her head. She did not make a sound, but instead listened and waited for news from Yin Lin.

She was more concerned about the news.

Seeing that she did not say anything, Wang Mu paused and looked at her with trembling eyes. "Empress? Is there anything that chenqie didn't do well? "

Xiao Ruyue's train of thoughts was pulled back by her voice, only then did she realize that she was lost in thought, and she laughed lightly while shaking her head, "No. Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie, you have done well. You are truly worthy of being raised to be a noble daughter of a noble family. Mrs. Wang must have spent a lot of time and effort on Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie. "

Wang Lu was naturally happy that his family members were being praised, but when it came to his mother, she could not help but become depressed. "Father originally hoped that I could find a normal family."

"It's good for ordinary people. Even though it's ordinary, it's also very happy."

"That's right. "My father always said that normal people's homes are the happiest, not like the Emperor Royal's family that have so many heart fights". Before he had finished saying the word, Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie looked at Lotus Flower and suddenly realised what he had said. He stood up from his chair in shock, and with a 'putong', he kneeled down towards Xiao Ruyue.

"Please forgive me esteemed empress, chenqie made a slip of the tongue!"

"What are you panicking for? What you said was right." Xiao Ruyue took a sip of the tea, and then placed the blue and white porcelain teacup in his hand onto the table, "Get up. Lotus, why aren't you helping your master up? Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang's knees are hitting the green brick and you don't feel any pain. "

The smell of incense was extremely awkward, but the empress had no choice but to help her master up.

Xiao Ruyue did not care what Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang and Huo Xiang were thinking, looking out at the bright and dazzling sunlight, she squinted her eyes, "The Emperor's family is the most powerful and rich place in the world, but it is also the most cruel place. A calamity has arisen within the Wall of Devils, and the flesh and blood have become entangled with one another. For the sake of power and disrespect from one's kin, I fear that one would end up dying in the end. "

Seeing that Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang's face had turned white, she paused, "It's good to find ordinary people. Men plow the fields and women weave; If it's hard on you, I really want to be that powerless ordinary person and live a few days in peace. "

As she said this, the coldness in her eyes faded and her gaze became as gentle as water.

If she could, she really wanted to leave this chaotic palace city together with Yuwen He, to a place where no one knew them, and start a new life together. At that time, bearing children, men's farming and women's weaving, together, the sun sets, how good.

What she wanted most was for her child to be born in a clean place.

Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie opened and closed her mouth, but did not know what to say. Lotus Fragrance was also astonished. For the empress to say something like that, it really was hard to believe.

Of course, Lu Yi and Cai Yin, who were serving beside Xiao Ruyue, also had the same shocked expression. Especially for Lu Yi, her expression was extremely conflicted.

Empress, it's fine if you say these words in front of His Majesty, but you actually dare to say them in front of a Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie.

Xiao Ruyue turned her head to look at Lu Yi and saw through her worry. But she did not think much of it, so she just pulled Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang and said, "Oh yes, do you like the handkerchief that I gave to Mrs. Wang last time? It took me a long time to decide on that embroidery. "

Wang's originally chaotic thoughts, after hearing Xiao Ruyue's words, suddenly remembered something and became clear.
