Xiao Ruyue interrupted him and said, "You'll be back soon. Even if your master were to come up, he wouldn't go so far as to punish his subordinates and prevent them from having a hot bath. "

Chong Yang had also been tormenting himself for an entire night, but most of the others had gone to rest, and he was the only one left to guard this place.

However, how could he dare to just walk away from the Lord's orders?

"Esteemed wangfei, I'm afraid it's not right, right? What if …"

"There's no need for that. You should go take a shower and rest first. I have something else to tell you later." Wenshansu has me here, so no mishap can go wrong. "

Since the Empress had already put on airs, Chong Yang had no choice but to obey.

However, when he glanced at the empress, he had the feeling that a mischievous glint flashed in her eyes. She wouldn't want him to find those venomous insects and snakes again, would she?!

Thinking about it, Chong Yang shivered, then obediently left to take a bath and rest.

Xiao Ruyue officially took her pulse, and her expression was slightly startled, but she did not say anything. She let Yin Lin help him roll up Wenshansu's sleeves, and inserted needles into her temples and into her two elbows. There were a total of four needles.

Not long after, the Wenshansu woke up.

"Empress? Are you okay? " He froze for a moment, then propped himself up. "Where is the great general?" "He you …"

His mind was still in a daze, unable to wrap his head around the situation, and he couldn't even speak properly.

"Don't worry, Venerable. Everything is fine." Xiao Ruyue gave him a comforting smile, "The Great General was afraid that you would disturb my rest and acted too heavily. If you have offended him, I hope that you can forgive him."

"I don't dare." Wenshansu paused, perhaps he also understood what Xiao Ruyue meant, "It's good that the Empress is fine now."

"Please rest a bit more. I've already ordered some people to prepare dinner for you. You will be arriving soon." Xiao Ruyue said as she stood up, "Gui Shi, don't move, I'll help you remove the needle."

The Wenshansu did not move, Xiao Ruyue straightened his body skillfully and handed it over to Lu Yi, instructing her: "You stay here and take care of the Justices, I'll find someone to replace you in a while."

"Yes."

Xiao Ruyue nodded and went out.

Qingqing waited at the door, and Xiao Ruyue immediately called her over to Wenshansu's room. She knew martial arts, so it was most suitable for her to look at her father.

Yuwen He dispersed the people that he brought to different parts of the tavern and cooperated with them internally and externally. The defense of this small tavern was already quite complete.

He had even placed two guards at Xiao Ruyue's door. Adding Yin Lin's martial arts training, her considerations were very detailed.

Xiao Ruyue was very busy, and when she returned to her room, she felt very tired.

Although she was unconscious for most of the time, she was tired from running around, and being pregnant was easy to be sleepy, so with Yin Lin and the others around, she naturally relaxed. As she laid on the bed, she unknowingly fell asleep.

It was only when he saw the person he was most familiar with that he felt safe.

However, after he fell asleep, it was not peaceful.

In his dream, he blurrily returned to the dark and windy night, surrounded by a group of black-clothed people.

It was Yuwen Chenglian who rode the carriage and escaped with her and Wenshansu. At that time, he had also struggled on the edge of death.

Yuwen Chenglian looked back at her, blood continuously flowing out of his mouth, "Women are all virtuous beings. Xiao Ruyue treats this duke as if she were a fool, and you are the same. You are all the same! What's wrong with me? "

She did not answer, but he laughed bitterly. "You won't lie to me when you're about to die …" As he laughed, blood gushed out of his mouth as if a lock had been opened.

When the vision turned to the blade cutting through him, his eyes stared like brass bells, and he spat blood at her one last time.

The dream suddenly turned bright red.

"Yuwen Chenglian!" Xiao Ruyue was startled out of her dream! Unknowingly, she sat up straight and her body went stiff.

"It's fine, I'm here." While she was at a loss, a warm and gentle embrace embraced her. The voice that resounded beside her ears was the most familiar, Yuwen He's voice.

Hearing his voice, she came back to herself. "Am I having a nightmare?" She stared at him blankly.

"Mn, while you slept, you shouted out Yuwen Chenglian's name." Yuwen He said as he looked her in the eye.

Xiao Ruyue was embarrassed: "I, I didn't mean to. I don't know why …

"Silly girl, do you think I care about a dead person?" Yuwen He raised his beautiful eyebrows, and painfully kissed her on the forehead.

Xiao Ruyue frowned her beautiful eyebrows, and after a long while, she finally squeezed out a single word.

"Yes."

Yuwen He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Logically speaking, you came to this world a few years before me, but why do I sometimes feel that you're still a child?"

Earlier on, she had said it herself, but she had laughed at him, "Could it be that you're even worse than a dead person?" Now he had gone back to talking.

My daughter's mind is really like a needle at the bottom of the sea, unfathomable.

Xiao Ruyue said in all seriousness: "Situ Min is only eighteen." The meaning behind her words was that this person was still too inexperienced. She refused to fight.

Yuwen He couldn't help but laugh, "Alright, you will also be eighteen next year. Eighteen years old. "

These words were very pleasing to the ears.

The empress was overjoyed. She gave Yuwen He a fragrant kiss, then wrapped her arms around his waist and clung onto him, unwilling to move. Yuwen He was also happy to see the beauty in his arms, stroking her hair without stopping.

"When did you and the general return?"

"It's been a while. After dinner, we went to that small courtyard again. We had already arranged for people to send Yuwen Chenglian's corpse back to the capital. "

It was indeed hard to let go of a corpse in such a hot weather, so it was better to send it back as soon as possible.

"Then are we going to Fringe City?" Xiao Ruyue asked again.

Yuwen He smiled when he heard it, "How did you guess that?" He was not at all surprised that she had guessed.

Xiao Ruyue raised her head from his embrace and looked up at Yuwen He: "Because from the moment I saw you, I have never had the intention to return to the capital. When you came out, you were in a hurry, so you entrusted the entire capital to Yueyang, right? Your internal and external troubles are so great, you can rest assured too. "

"Both internal and external troubles are not bad, but the external troubles have to be resolved first before internal troubles can be resolved." Yuwen He laughed, "That Flowing Sand Pavilion's master, Yan Jue, is a genius. He wanted to use Tatar to make this opportunity. "How can I let down his good intentions when his plans are so ingenious?"

Xiao Ruyue thought of something and sat up excitedly, "So you want to settle this at your best?"

"Yes."

"This is too risky!" Xiao Ruyue exchanged a glance with him, and their expressions became extremely solemn, "The Flowing Sand Pavilion's master, Yan Jue, and Feng Yuting are both in the capital now. If you leave the capital, it would be equivalent to giving the capital's most important land to them! If there was an accident, wouldn't it be a complete failure?

Xiao Ruyue was unable to say the last four words no matter how hard she tried.

Yuwen He's actions were so risky, she felt like his heart would jump out of her chest.

"Look at you, you scared our child." Yuwen He could not help but laugh out loud, he held her in his arms and consoled her, "Things are not as serious as you think, do not panic."

Xiao Ruyue puffed her cheeks and pouted, showing a look of "I'm not happy".

Yuwen He was helpless, he was not nervous at all, it was as if the emperor who gave away the entire capital city was not him.

"Forget it. Your title of emperor is your mountains and rivers. Grandaunt will not care about you anymore." The empress was infuriated as she broke free from his embrace and got off the bed.

Yuwen He called out to her, "It's already the Hai hour, where are you going?"

"Looking for food." The empress tossed him a single word, her words concise and concise. "In any case, if you don't consider yourself the emperor, you won't starve to death. Why should I worry so much?"

He wouldn't need to worry about the harem in the future. He was worried that the Empress Dowager would give Yuwen He a princess whenever he wanted, and that he wouldn't need to disguise himself as a man to work in the Ministry of Work anymore. How nice was that!

She was happy and relaxed.

Thus, the empress put on her clothes and happily left the room.

Yuwen He was at a loss: "…"

It is faster to change your face than to flip a book.

Xiao Ruyue went out and knocked on Lu Yi's door. Lu Yi and Yin Lin lived next door to her, and they waited on each other.

"Empress, are you hungry in the middle of the night?" When Lu Yi saw her master at the door, she made a bold guess.

Xiao Ruyue grinned, "You're clever."

"Then I'll go downstairs and see if the stove is out." I remember telling them to keep the fire. " Lu Yi put on her clothes and went out.

Xiao Ruyue walked past her and into the house.

"The Empress must have something to ask Yin Lin." Yin Lin saw that she was wearing it.
