Last time when the Empress had summoned her mother to the palace, she had bestowed many gifts, including the embroidered handkerchief that the Empress had embroidered herself.
On that day, his mother had been talking about something, as if she was brooding over that handkerchief.
Before the Li Palace, her mother had repeatedly reminded her that if she had the chance, she would ask the empress where she had obtained her embroidery patterns and who her embroidery master was.
She'd been worrying about how to ask the empress about it, but now the empress had taken the initiative to raise the subject.
This was the best opportunity.
"Esteemed Empress, last time when chenqie's mother received Your Esteemed Empress' bestowment, she kept instructing chenqie that she must thank the empress. The mother of Chenqie's concubine really liked it, that's why …" Empress Dowager's embroidery is superb, and my mother admires it as well. "
"Mrs. Wang praises you. I couldn't learn all of this by peeing, but after I came to the Da Xia Empire, I heard that the Wei Wangfei was skilled in embroidery, so I learned embroidery on a whim from the Wei Wangfei for a period of time. " Hearing her words, Xiao Ruyue could hear her voice.
This was also because she had already planned out this step when she had gifted Mrs. Wang with the embroidered handkerchief.
The Mrs. Wang was able to keep her cool even more than she had expected, but she was finally unable to hold it in anymore and wanted to find out more through Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang.
Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie was stunned for a moment. Her expression was a little unnatural, but she quickly responded and said, "So that's how it is. Chén has long heard that Wei Wangfei's embroidery skills are the best in the world. Unexpectedly, the empress learned a set of exquisite embroidery techniques from the Wei Wangfei. I wonder if chenqie can seek guidance from the Empress? "
My mother said that the empress's embroidery workers were very similar to one of her old friends. My mother also said that her old friend had done her a great favor. Her mother said even more so that her old friend was long dead. She wondered if the empress had anything to do with her family.
His mother's expression was very serious as she said this. This was a matter of the utmost importance. Her mother had never been like this before. Her mother was so strong, she would never beg. Now that she had spoken to her, she naturally could not ignore her.
Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie knew that she was no match for the Empress. Her plan was that since she couldn't find out anything, she should just stay in the Phoenix Palace and wait for the news. As long as she found a chance to stay, he would eventually get some information from the empress.
Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang thought in her heart as she smiled, "To tell the empress the truth, chenqie really likes the handkerchief that the empress gave to chenqie's mother. Would you be willing to learn from the empress?"
"If Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang likes the handkerchief embroidered by my side, I have something ready for you to use. Why must you do it yourself? " Xiao Ruyue smiled and replied her.
Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie held the handkerchief in her hand tightly. She was a little nervous, she was not good at these things.
She was at a loss for a while, but mustered up the courage to raise her head, looked at Xiao Ruyue and said: "After chenqie enters the palace, she will no longer be under the knee of Cheng Huan's parents. When the Empress married into the East Mausoleum, she knew that this was the only thing I could do. "
Saying that, he knelt down towards Xiao Ruyue.
Her kneeling was full of sincerity.
It was true that she could not be happy with her parents, and it was true that she was sad for them. It was also true that her mother was eager to repay her kindness and yearn for her old friend. She wanted to do everything for her mother. None of this was false.
Xiao Ruyue held onto her teacup, looked at the kneeling Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie, and slowly smiled.
"Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang, you must do your best to be filial. How can I bear to touch your heart?"
Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie was stunned at first, but then she realized what the Empress had said and raised his head in shock. "Many thanks, esteemed Empress!" He kowtowed heavily.
He Xiang felt heartache for her master.
But to the empress, she slowly began to feel that this empress seemed completely different from what she'd imagined.
After Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang left, Xiao Ruyue went back to lie on the bed. Lu Yi knew that she hadn't eaten much in the morning and brought her a tray of buns. So it turned out that she had a backup plan.
The morning assembly did not disperse until the appointed hour.
Yin Lin ran back and said, the situation of the morning assembly was chaotic, the emperor's expression was ugly.
Xiao Ruyue laid on her bed, unable to fall asleep, Yin Lin said that and immediately got up. She cleaned herself up a bit, and let Yin Lin rearrange her hair, then she went straight to the Phoenix Palace.
In a hurry, Chong Yue and Chong Yang also came along.
"What happened?" Xiao Ruyue mouthed the two youths behind Yuwen He.
Chong Yue and Chong Yang both shook their heads. Their shaking of their heads did not mean that they did not know the inside story, but rather that they had expressed "not to say".
Yuwen He did not want to hear it from them.
Xiao Ruyue did not question further, she pulled the expressionless Yuwen He and sat down, while the others tactfully left.
"What's wrong? Was he angered to death by those stubborn old fogeys? " Xiao Ruyue went straight to the point, and did not hide the fact that he knew of the situation.
Yuwen He looked at her after hearing what she said, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, "Yin Lin told you everything already. What do you think? "
"Yin Lin said that someone had posted a so-called pleading report on the market this morning, intending to use the name of kinship to wash clean the white of the guilty party. She also mentioned how Liu Yuan was taken away, how Jingzhou's assassins were killed, and how Jingzhou's officials were all heavily injured, but she didn't have the time to tell me what the judges' evaluation was."
Xiao Ruyue spread out her hands, the meaning behind her words was, the rest is yours.
Yuwen He replied with an "En" and was not angry at all. He reached out and grabbed Xiao Ruyue in his arms, "The officials here are very interested in the report, someone said, maybe King Wei's case does have other secrets."
"Hm, it's all because of the ambiguous nature of the report. The person who wrote it knew how to win over the hearts of the people." Xiao Ruyue expressed her admiration for her.
She paused for a moment, then asked again, "Does no one talk about robbing a prisoner?"
"Of course."
"Then what do they say?"
"They had a strong discussion. They said that it was the first time such a person had been killed or robbed, but that officer army was not injured at all. It is very likely that these officer army had colluded with the person who robbed them."
Xiao Ruyue acted as if she was thinking, "The entire imperial court is filled with people who like to think. It seems that I have to snatch all the work of the Board of Justice before I am satisfied. "
Especially when they were robbed or killed, none of the officer army were injured. It was too arbitrary to conclude that the officer army had colluded with the criminals who robbed the prisoners.
If she were to take a stand that she had to protect herself, she wouldn't dare say that the officer army that escorted the prisoners must be innocent. After all, before they were verified, no one could guarantee that they would be innocent.
But from her standpoint, the officer army that escorted Liu Yuan, Jingzhou's Ci Shi and Jingzhou were sent over from the capital. She did not trust anyone, nor did she trust Chong Yue's Yu Lin Guards.
So, the truth behind this matter, was that they had to personally see the officer army s before they could find out. But now, those officer army s had been poisoned and the remaining poison had yet to be cleared from their bodies. They were arranged to rest on the spot by the local yamen.
Thinking about it, Xiao Ruyue looked at Yuwen He, "I recommend Cui Jingxuan."
Yuwen He's lips curled up into a smile, and his smile became deeper and deeper, "Those who know are the Queen."
The person he was considering, was also Cui Jingxuan. An upright and upright Board of Justice official without any background. It would be perfect for him to look into the case.
Xiao Ruyue laughed and gave him a sweet kiss.
He knew he couldn't possibly be angry because of those old men. No, that's not right, those old men who went up earlier were mostly related to the case of King Wei, and they were now either in the Sky Prison, or the prisons of the marble temple and the Ministry of Justice.
There were many young officials in the court. The Grand Xia was currently changing blood.
The two of them chatted in the room for a while. When Yuwen He came out, he was completely different from his expressionless face just now.
Yin Lin, Chong Yang, Chong Yue and the others were extremely impressed by the Empress.
Xiao Ruyue happily accepted their admiration, and after sending them off, she returned to her room.
"Why are you in such a hurry to get me back?"
Xiao Ruyue sat down and saw a figure floating in through the window.
Big Sister Ya Yin didn't go through the main entrance again.
She sighed helplessly, "The reason I called you over is because I have a huge matter to discuss with you." Did Big Sister Ya Yin find out where Feng Yuting was? "
Liangqiu Yayin shook her head, "This woman is very cunning, she has always been setting up array formations. She has an expert supporting her from behind."
"Is there no other way?" Xiao Ruyue asked curiously.
Liangqiu Yayin frowned, "There are many places in Wen Dao that specialize in techniques. The honey that had been placed on her body before was also discovered by her. She knows my methods, and it's hard for me to find her. "
This was the truth.
Xiao Ruyue laughed and took out the cold jade box that was placed close to him.
The Jade Silkworm Gu had eaten a lot and slept a lot recently, the fat cold jade box almost couldn't fit in. Fortunately, its body was fragile and could be stretched or curled into a ball, so it was just barely able to fit inside.
"Is that fat insect really the one I gave him?" Liangqiu Yayin opened her eyes wide.
This was the first time she saw someone make a Gu worm into a vegetable worm.
"A Gu cannot let it eat its fill, it will grow lazy after eating and won't listen to orders." Big Sister Ya Yin said solemnly.
Xiao Ruyue revealed a confused expression, she used her finger to poke the Jade Silkworm Gu's fat body, the sleeping bugs wriggled, slowly spread out, and after a while, they filled up cold jade box.
The empress was speechless: They really gave too much. Give it a diet in the future.
"Fat insect, I have fed you so many good things and it is not to make you sleep lazily every day." Xiao Ruyue poked the Jade Silkworm Gu twice more, and when the insect looked fat and cumbersome, it turned around with a "Teng" sound.
Very agile.
Xiao Ruyue and the others were tickled by the fat insect.
The Jade Silkworm Gu flipped again, and quickly crawled into Xiao Ruyue's palm. He was more sensible than he thought.
Xiao Ruyue held the bug, and said to Liangqiu Yayin with a serious face: "Sister Ya Yin, if I say where I can find Feng Yuting, would you believe me?"
"F * ck this fat bug?" Sister Ya Yin blurted out, and then she laughed out loud, but this time she wasn't laughing at Xiao Ruyue, but at the fat insect, the Jade Silkworm Gu.
This was really the first time she saw such a fat Jade Silkworm Gu.
There was no precedent.
It was unique.
Xiao Ruyue's face did not have the slightest bit of playfulness left, she solemnly nodded, stuck to the Jade Silkworm Gu and muttered a few sentences. The fat bug suddenly shook its fat body.
"Pah!" Two sections of its tail suddenly split apart.
