But Yuwen Xiao did not focus too much on him, after greeting him, he turned to Xiao Ruyue and asked, "Sister-in-law, are the meals here suitable for you?"

"His Majesty and all the soldiers can eat it, so naturally, I can eat it too." Xiao Ruyue chuckled lightly.

The general could not find any mistakes.

He then found a few more opportunities to test Xiao Ruyue, but Yuwen He didn't even give Xiao Ruyue a chance to open her mouth, as he blocked off his little brother's path in one go.

Secretly, he exchanged glances with his assistant general Yang Junda, and started eating as if there was nothing wrong.

In the dead of night.

Chong Yang slipped into Xiao Ruyue's tent with a tiled jar that was tightly sealed.

A certain someone unhappily glared at him. What was the point of coming here at this time?

However, Chong Yang had an innocent look on his face, "The thing the Empress told me to look for has arrived."

"Mm, leave your things and leave." Xiao Ruyue said calmly.

Chong Yang acted like he was amnesty, putting down the things on the ground, he escaped. He was afraid that the blade of his master's eye would cut out two holes on his body.

"What did you ask Chong Yang to look for?" asked after he left the room.

Xiao Ruyue smiled but did not answer as she put on her shoes and got off the bed.

But seeing her expression, Yuwen He could roughly guess.

The contents of the jar seemed to be stirring and would not settle down.

When Xiao Ruyue got close, there was no sound at all.

She lifted the black cloth that sealed the jar. Inside, there was actually half a jar of the dark black poison centipede, scorpion and the furry black spider. They were all curled up, as if afraid of something.

The poisons in the jar became restless, as if they wanted to climb out but didn't dare to actually come out.

However, the fat Jade Silkworm Gu seemed to be extremely happy as it wagged its tail at Xiao Ruyue and jumped into the pile of black venomous bugs.

A spot of white was exceptionally eye-catching within the deep black, and was instantly submerged within.

Xiao Ruyue once again covered the black cloth and tied it with a piece of cloth. When she turned around, she realized that Yuwen He was looking at her.

"What's wrong? Scared by the bugs? "

His face was somewhat pale, but he still said stubbornly, "The child in your stomach isn't scared. How could I be so easily frightened by a few little bugs?"

Xiao Ruyue immediately understood.

"Your Majesty, which one are you afraid of?" She blinked slyly.

Yuwen He unconsciously swallowed his saliva, "No, I'm not afraid."

"Is it the scorpion, the black centipede, or the hairy spider?" Xiao Ruyue reported their names one by one as if she was playing a prank.

When she mentioned the "hairy spider", a certain Lord was stunned. He had never shown such a tragic expression in his life.

Xiao Ruyue couldn't bear it any longer and reached out to hug him, "You're not afraid of anything, why are you afraid of that thing?"

"Not afraid." He clenched his teeth and refused to admit it.

"Good, good, good. You're not afraid." Xiao Ruyue sighed, feeling pained yet amused at the same time, and said gently and steadily, "It's me who's afraid, and there's even a child who's afraid. I will have the Mr. Tang come and take it over. "

While talking, Xiao Ruyue called Yin Lin in and asked her to carry the things over to Tang Jingzhi's tent.

Yuwen He was obviously resistant to the jar, and only avoided it in fear, his reaction was even more severe than the frightened Chong Yang.

After passing the items out, Xiao Ruyue could not control her curiosity and asked: "In the past, you have never displayed your fear in front of me. "Why is it like this today?"

"Not afraid." Yuwen He unhappily corrected her.

Xiao Ruyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

She even wondered if the child in her womb had been born earlier and had become this giant baby.

Although it was normal for people to be afraid of these venomous insects and ants, but when she thought about how a strong man like Yuwen He would turn pale because of a spider when he was faced with a whole empire's martial arts, she couldn't help but find it funny.

"In the past, you should've seen it with your own eyes because everything was in the pharmacy, right?"

"Yes." Yuwen He forced himself to nod his head and admit it.

Xiao Ruyue looked up to the sky and laughed, laughing while leaning on his chest, "In the past, I have always thought that you are invincible and fearless, this is good too. If there is fear, then there will be no fear. "

"You're wrong."

"Hmm? "What's wrong?"

Yuwen He corrected him: "I have never been fearless and fearless. You are my fatal weakness."

He pointed to his chest. "You fill this place up, so it's fragile."

Caught off guard, sweet talk.

Xiao Ruyue looked at him, then placed her delicate hand on his palm, which landed on his heart, and firmly smiled: "Then, I will equip the place you're in with armor."

It would be able to destroy everything.

"Alright."

Their gazes met and they smiled at each other.

If he got a wife like this, what else could he ask for?

Early in the morning, Tang Jingzhi sent a small bottle over, saying that it was for the Empress.

The bottle had been painted with a bunch of black bamboo, and Lu Yi didn't know what it was, so she took it and placed it on the bedside of her master.

His Majesty had already left the room. Before he left, he was afraid that Xiao Ruyue wouldn't be able to find him, so he instructed Lu Yi to stand guard on the spot. There were also Yuwen He's men guarding the outside of the tent, ensuring that no one else could come close.

Xiao Ruyue woke up when it was about time, and when she woke up, she felt dizzy.

For the past few days, she had been getting more and more addicted to sleep, thinking that no matter how much she slept, she wouldn't be able to sleep enough.

"Empress, you're awake. Are you going to call for dinner?" Or would you like me to make some for you? "

"Just eat some breakfast. This is in the army camp, it's not comparable to the palace, so there's not much to pay attention to."

Lu Yi nodded and went out to instruct people to send in their breakfast.

While he was washing up, he heard the sound of a horn coming from outside. The sound was far away, but it still made people feel flustered.

Xiao Ruyue was a little uneasy, "Lu Yi, go out and see what is going on."

"Yes." "Yes," Lu Yi replied before heading out.

Just at this time, Yin Lin brought the breakfast over. They bumped into each other at the door. Lu Yi turned back.

"Yin Lin, what's going on outside? Is it a battle? "

Yin Lin put down her breakfast, then said: "Reporting to the Empress, the Tatar people have been hanging up their war free signs for a few days. I don't know why, but they started to provoke us again this morning. "His Majesty and the Great General are currently in the tent."

Xiao Ruyue paused for a while, "A few days ago, they had hung up their war free tokens, what's the difference?"

Yin Lin shook her head, indicating that she was confused.

Xiao Ruyue hastily ate breakfast, then changed into a light and light outfit, and went to the main tent.

The horn sounded and the vanguard troops had already set out to meet them.

Xiao Ruyue brushed past the soldier who was giving out the order, and the soldier quickly left, coordinating with the horn sound.

Because of Xiao Ruyue's sudden arrival, everyone in the account stopped talking.

Yuwen He waved his hands at her, and the others, led by the Great General, all bowed.

"Generals, please rise." Xiao Ruyue nodded her head and smiled, then walked to Yuwen He's side, "Is it because I disturbed your plans to discuss matters with the generals?"

"You came at the perfect time." Yuwen He let her walk to the front of the sand table, pointed to the two passes above and said: "Right now, there is only a few dozen kilometers of land between us and the Tatar people. The Tartars launched a fierce attack today, but the position they occupied was easy to defend and difficult to attack. The vanguard troops confronted them at the first attack, and the situation was quite dangerous. "Tell me, is it better to fight, or not to fight?"

The few generals in the account all looked at Yuwen He when they heard it, as if they thought that the Emperor should not talk about military matters to a woman.

"I won't." Xiao Ruyue shook his head and replied as if he did not see their doubtful gazes.

"Esteemed Empress's words are very easy to say. When the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of Grand Xia arrive, they want to drive the Tartars home. If the Tartars attack and retreat, wouldn't that make them laugh their teeth out?" Where is the power of our Da Xia Empire? " One of the generals said coldly.

Another person added, "Although the Da Xia Empire is small, we do not allow anyone to bully our heads. Naturally, we have to fight!"

The way the two of them looked at Xiao Ruyue seemed to be saying: A woman who doesn't know anything is spouting nonsense in the tent. To be able to stand here, it must be because of the Charm Master's methods.

Yuwen He frowned, he looked at Xiao Ruyue, but Xiao Ruyue smiled at him, not getting angry at all. He did not get angry.

Well, let her.

She believed that with her sharp mouth, she wouldn't be taken advantage of by these people.

The general wanted to speak up as well, but upon seeing his elder brother act like that, he shut his mouth.

Xiao Ruyue was not afraid of the arena, but instead said generously, "Since we already know that the enemy is in a position of power, why do we have to send our soldiers to their deaths for no reason. "It is true that the warriors are valiant, but the useless sacrifice is the incompetence of the generals."

A general felt like he had been shot twice in the knee.

Xiao Ruyue continued, "Yesterday, when I followed you to the camp, I heard Vice General Yang say that for some reason, the Tatar people had hung a few days' relief from fighting, and no matter how we called for it, they would not listen. Logically speaking, there was a precedent for such a battle since ancient times. However, the Tatar people were originally in the lead, but they had been holding back. From the looks of it, they didn't seem to be afraid of the battle, but were instead waiting for an opportunity. What did His Majesty and the Great General think? "

As she spoke, she looked at Yuwen He.

Yuwen He replied with a smile, and did not say a word.

She didn't know what they were talking about before she came, but she had no difficulty in getting on with their conversation. It was good to live a little longer.

The faces of the two generals who had questioned Xiao Ruyue earlier instantly darkened.

The general said, "The Empress is right. His Majesty and I, as well as the other generals, must have thought that there was a problem within the Tartars. We were just about to choose a suitable person to investigate. However, while it was possible for the soldiers in the army to obey orders and charge in, they were still lacking a bit in terms of their ability to fly over a wall. Your Imperial Brother has a few first-rate experts under him. The Empress thinks that it would be more appropriate to choose who? "
