"How preposterous!"

When the news reached Lushua Hall, he immediately became furious and slapped the table.

"Those rumors are getting more and more outrageous. As the king of an empire, how can He'er be someone they can casually talk about! "

Princess Duanyun led the princess into the palace early in the morning.

In front of the Empress Dowager. It was only after he told them the rumors in detail that the Empress Dowager was angered. However, she had the innocent look of someone who didn't know anything, as if she never knew anything about this matter in Empress Dowager.

Adding on Princess Qing He's embellished speech, Empress Dowager became even more furious.

"It is that scoundrel King Wei who has done the deed himself. He is guilty of all crimes and cannot be forgiven! "Now that we let He'er take the blame, what the hell is going on?!"

The people beside him agreed, and Empress Dowager's face became even more unsightly, "The two parties fought side by side to eliminate each other, and colluded with other nations to try to usurp their ancestors' inheritance. I, Da Xia, have given birth to a vile spawn like him! What qualifications does he have to call himself innocent?! "

"Someone, call the empress over." The more Empress Dowager thought about it, the angrier she got.

Before the people of the Lushua Hall had come to pass down the empress dowager's decree, a young eunuch had come forth to report the news.

Xiao Ruyue was still eating breakfast, and had just eaten half a bowl of porridge when Yin Lin brought the person in. Kneeling, he said, "Esteemed Empress, there were rumors circulating about the Lushua Hall, which infuriated him. In a moment someone will summon you to an audience. "

Xiao Ruyue's hand paused, she had suppressed the news outside with much difficulty, she did not allow anyone to spread it to Lushua Hall, who was the one who wanted the world to be chaotic?

She glanced at Yin Lin, then asked the young eunuch, "Who is it that came to the palace to visit Empress Dowager today?"

"To reply Empress, it's Princess Duanyun and Princess Qing He. They entered the palace early in the morning." The young eunuch did not understand, so he replied.

Xiao Ruyue replied with a "En". So that was the case, so it turned out to be these two masters who desired to stir up trouble.

"Empress, this mama said to tell the Empress that the Princess Duanyun did not come with good intentions."

Xiao Ruyue nodded her head to show kindness, "This mama has thought it through, and I have remembered it.

Senior Sister is truly worthy of being someone arranged by Yuwen He.

The trial at Empress Dowager would probably not be easy to pass.

After the young eunuch from Lushua Hall who came to report the news left, Xiao Ruyue turned to Yin Lin and said, "Did something happen this morning?"

Yin Lin: "This servant does not dare to deceive the Empress. "Early this morning, a new report was posted." As he spoke, he reported all the news that he had received from the outside of the palace to Xiao Ruyue.

Xiao Ruyue finished the remaining half a bowl of porridge and tidied up her makeup in the mirror. Today, she was wearing a light purple dress with a rouge red cotton dress and a blue silk dress that was the same as her lower skirt.

The skin on her face was originally extremely good. It was white with a tinge of red, but there was also a thin layer of water powder. The vermilion lip added some rouge at the center, which was exactly a lip biting makeup. With the Queen's steadiness, she didn't lose the liveliness of a young woman. On a hot summer day, light makeup is neither sticky nor greasy.

He put a Lingyun bun on his head as usual. A luxurious seven tailed phoenix hairpin and two jade hairpins with the appearance of a lotus in the air were on the hairpin. It was safe now.

Then, the people from the Lushua Hall came.

After hearing the decree, Xiao Ruyue smiled faintly and instructed the Lushua Hall to lead the way.

At the time Xiao Ruyue arrived, Princess Duanyun and Princess Qing He were taking turns to comfort him. The health of the phoenix body was of utmost importance.

Xiao Ruyue went forward to pay her respects, the Empress Dowager paused, "Sit down first, I have something to ask you."

"Yes, Royal Grandmother." Xiao Ruyue held Yin Lin's hand and stood up.

Princess Duanyun and Princess Qing He also bowed towards Xiao Ruyue. She waved her hand and said, "You may rise without formalities." She sized him up with her gaze.

The Princess Duanyun did not come early or late, it just had to be at this time. It could be said that she did not come with good intentions, and the good ones did not come.

If he didn't have any shameful motive, why did he choose to enter the palace at this time?

"Empress, Duanyun, and Qing He entered the palace early in the morning, and told This Dowager some things, is it true?" When Xiao Ruyue sat down, the Empress Dowager asked.

Xiao Ruyue revealed a puzzled expression and asked: "I wonder what Princess Duanyun and Princess Qing He said to Empress Dowager?"

"Some rumors that are not true are extremely disadvantageous to the emperor. Why has the empress been hiding this from This Dowager? " The empress dowager went straight to the point. "If it wasn't for me coming to the palace with Yue Yun and Qing He to visit you, how long would it take for you to hide this from me?"

Empress Dowager frowned, her words full of reproach.

Seeing that, Xiao Ruyue immediately stood up and acted fearfully, replying, "Royal Grandmother, the citizens do not know the true meaning of the case, but because I have heard rumors, I have spread some rumors that are not good for the Emperor, I am afraid that you will get angry, so I do not dare to tell you."

When Princess Duanyun heard this, she looked at her as if to say, "You are obviously intentionally hiding it from me."

Xiao Ruyue swept her watery eyes across Princess Duanyun's body. She didn't take her gaze that held some kind of inexplicable hostility.

Princess Qing He didn't mind that there were too many things to do as she watched the show, so she added on, "If the empress does such a thing, does Your Majesty not say anything?"

Hearing that, Xiao Ruyue's beautiful eyebrows twitched. With a smile, she turned to look at the Empress Dowager and said: "Royal Grandmother, those who spread rumors are all untruthful. They are mostly there to incite the hearts of the people, to stir up chaos in the world. His Majesty was also worried about your health, so he didn't let chenqie tell you about it. "

With just one sentence, she had completely shut up Princess Qing He.

Princess Qing He glared in anger and was about to say something when she was stopped by Princess Duanyun. She snorted angrily and turned her head away.

When Yin Lin and Lu Yi saw this scene, they looked at each other: Princess Qing He was not a match for the Empress at all.

Empress Dowager saw Princess Duanyun and Princess Qing He's reactions, she muttered to herself for a moment, but she was still a little annoyed, "Even so, you shouldn't hide it from This Dowager."

When he said these words, he was somewhat unhappy.

Xiao Ruyue didn't try to argue with him and replied obediently, "Yes, chenqie wasn't considerate enough. It was chenqie who shouldn't have kept it from you, Empress Dowager. If such false rumors ever appear again in the future, chenqie will definitely inform Empress Dowager of your presence at the first possible moment. "

Empress Dowager nodded, her expression relaxed, and revealed a satisfied smile.

"Rumors are indeed a matter of opinion and wisdom. The Empress was right not to speak to This Dowager. If there is such a thing, you can just say hello to This Dowager. Get up, don't kneel. "

"Yes, Royal Grandmother. Wife Sun has remembered it. " Xiao Ruyue thanked her and sat back down on her seat while holding Yin Lin's hand.

Princess Duanyun and Princess Qing He looked at each other. They had chewed on their tongues for an hour and had finally moved all those unpleasant words to the palace, but they couldn't even take a few words from the empress?

They naturally did not know about the things that Empress Dowager had experienced before, nor did they know how she was able to escape danger from the hands of the Duke of Wei, Yuwen Chenglian. Yuwen He was afraid that if news of this were to spread, it would shake the hearts of the people and affect the overall situation, hence he had never announced it to the public.

Ordinary citizens did not have the ability to endure as much as the royals. If they knew that the Empress Dowager could even fake it, then what else could they not fake? Everyone in the world was panicking.

Although Empress Dowager and Princess Duanyun were mother and daughter, there were some secrets that even Princess Duanyun would not be able to learn.

Xiao Ruyue and the Empress Dowager looked at each other, exchanging a glance.

In truth, Tu Ruyun regretted it a little after being provoked by Princess Duanyun to call for someone to pass on the message to the Queen. Now that Xu Ruo Yun had explained the situation to him, the Empress Dowager would no longer be angry.

"Royal Grandmother, Princess Duanyun and Princess Qing He have a rare trip to the palace, I guess I'll stay here for lunch today. Sun er went to the kitchen to prepare some dishes that the Princess Duanyun and Princess Qing He would like. It is getting hotter outside, and I am rushing to order them out of the palace to not get sunstroke. "

"The empress is right, Duan Yun, Qing He girl, it's rare for you two to come to the palace, you should stay for lunch to accompany This Dowager for a meal. The empress will help out with the preparations, and you guys can chat with This Dowager. Empress Dowager agreed with Xiao Ruyue's decision and immediately applauded him.

The expression on Princess Duanyun's face was somewhat subtle, as though she did not expect Xiao Ruyue to do this.

Princess Qing He was also startled when she heard this. She was about to say something when the Princess Duanyun spoke first, "Many thanks to the Empress for her good intentions. "I haven't eaten with mufei in a long time. I'll have to trouble esteemed empress to help me out."

"Princess is too polite." Xiao Ruyue replied with a faint smile, and turned to instruct Yin Lin, "You should personally make a trip to the imperial kitchen and instruct the cooks. Today, Princess Duanyun and Princess Qing He will be eating at the Lushua Hall. The head chef of the royal kitchen has been in the palace for many years, and is a dependable old man. He should know about Princess Duanyun's preferences and let him do it properly.

While he was speaking, he lowered his voice and quickly instructed, "Investigate who they have been keeping in close contact with recently."

Unprovoked flattery, adultery or theft. Since the mother and daughter pair had chosen to enter the palace at this time, nothing good would happen. Moreover, their ambition to sow discord was obvious.

"Your servant obeys." Yin Lin said the two trials and already understood her master's instructions.

She bowed to Empress Dowager and the others, then left.

Looking at Yin Lin's retreating figure, Xiao Ruyue secretly thought that this matter was not as good as she thought.

Lu Yi took a step forward to serve Xiao Ruyue. Xiao Ruyue turned around and looked at her, then ordered: "Lu Yi, go and bring out the snacks you made for Empress Dowager and Princess Princess Qian Qian to have a taste."

Empress Dowager became spirited when she heard this, "Did Lu Yi make something new again?"

"Yes, Royal Grandmother." Xiao Ruyue said, "Two days ago, Imperial Physician Fang went to invite the Phoenix Palace to check on Sun's daughter-in-law's pulse. She mentioned that you were a little angry recently, but was afraid that you wouldn't get used to the bitter medicine, so Lu Yi cooked a few snacks and some tea. It is rare for Princess Duanyun and Princess Qing He to come here today, let's have a taste together. "
