Shen Liang felt a little uneasy.
He was also someone who had once fought on the battlefield, and was currently tied down by the grace of the past.
The Empress's words were true. Gratitude must be repaid, but righteousness must be cared for even more.
He only felt his shoulders loosen as he clasped his hands at Xiao Ruyue, "Empress, I will take my leave."
Yuwen He just happened to meet Shen Liang when he came back to invite Phoenix Palace.
Shen Liang bowed, and Yuwen He allowed him to enter, before entering the house. The two of them did not speak out in tacit understanding.
Shen Liang stared at Yuwen He, and then his gaze landed in the direction of the room.
Then, he quickly left.
His steps were much lighter than before.
Xiao Ruyue listened to the footsteps getting further and further away, she stood up and stretched her body, just as she was about to sit down and open the account book, suddenly a pair of arms wrapped around her from behind, "My wife, do you want to be my husband?"
"AHH!" Xiao Ruyue was shocked, "What are you doing, scaring me."
She noticed that the unique voice was the most familiar with smell. She slowly turned around and rolled her eyes at the person behind her.
Yuwen He was still dressed in his court attire, he kissed her on the cheek, and then carried her up and placed her on the bed, "Who told you to look at such tiresome things, just use your eyes, and let others look."
Xiao Ruyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It's just a few books of accounts, what's the point of wasting time?"
Yuwen He refused to let go and rolled to the side next to her and laid down.
"I said it was a waste of time, the palace has so many things, just let Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang do it. Why would I need to look at it myself? "
"You idiot." Xiao Ruyue pushed him away and sat him down, "You really aren't afraid of being scolded. I was already lazy enough. I didn't expect you to be here. You're even more shameless than I am. "
Yuwen He leaned his body forward and looked at her lazily while tilting his head up. "I never said I wanted my face."
Xiao Ruyue, "You're shameless, and you're still so full of yourself!"
She opened her almond eyes wide and angrily pinched Yuwen He's handsome face. He had a good temper and even if she pinched him, he would not retaliate.
Xiao Ruyue laughed out loud, and imprinted the imprint on her lips, making a "bo" sound.
Yuwen He said with a face full of satisfaction.
This world was vast, and he was also the king of Grand Xia. Although it seemed as though he had countless numbers of people, there weren't many who could speak for him. Only in front of her could one act shamelessly and shamelessly.
Xiao Ruyue gave him another kiss on his face, "Enough, get up, how old are you to be to be still acting like a child. If others were to see it, would you, your highness, still want your face? "
"This is the pleasure of our empress' chamber. The peeping peeper gouges out his eyes." Yuwen He said lazily, as if he had no bones. When he sat up, he also hung his black eyes on Xiao Ruyue's body, as if he didn't want to move at all. However, he pulled Xiao Ruyue's hand, and their fingers interlocked.
Xiao Ruyue did not move, "Are you tired? With the things that have been accumulated for so long, I'm sure that Yue Xiang will not let you off so easily. "
"It's like seeing a savior when Yue Yang sees me. He threw the matter back at me and repeatedly said that he could finally let go of this burden. He even said that he was going to die soon. I have to return to my hometown as soon as possible. " Yuwen He opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Ruyue. His words contained a hint of amusement, and his eyes were filled with laughter.
As he said that, he sat up. "These clothes are really uncomfortable. Elder Sister Xiao, please help me change."
"Chenqie shall obey." Xiao Ruyue laughed.
Yuwen He got off the bed, and Xiao Ruyue helped him take off the heavy court uniform. He only took off the two clothes on his body, and took Xiao Ruyue into her arms, laughing: With the Queen being so virtuous, I'm afraid there won't be another one in the world.
"Oh? Your Majesty, do you think having me alone is not enough?" Then I shall go and find out if there is another man like you in this world. "
Yuwen He's beautiful eyebrows knitted together, "You're still looking for the second one?" His words were filled with jealousy.
Xiao Ruyue glanced at him, "What do you think?"
Yuwen He simply hugged her and sat on his knees. He glanced at her red lips and ground them open and closed, then gave her a deep and lingering kiss before he was willing to let it go.
Xiao Ruyue was panting because of him, her beautiful eyes stared straight at him, and her beautiful face blushed red.
Beautiful and charming.
"Is the General Shen here to report back to you?" Yuwen He caressed his cheeks and asked gently.
Now it was finally official business.
Xiao Ruyue acknowledged him, "General Shen said that you had sent more people to help Master Du Ziheng, what is your plan for you to bring Master Du Ziheng and my father together? Now that Yuwen Chenglian is gone, are you worried about Feng Yuting and that Flowing Sand Pavilion Master Yan Jue? "
"Yeah, they haven't made any movements so far, that's why they make people worry. The reason they had placed the Wenshansu at Du Ziheng's side was also to make things easier for him. Firstly, they, the scholars, would also prefer to idle around and chat about poetry and painting. According to the ancient texts, the Wenshansu and Du Ziheng are master and disciple, and they also have a companion while living together.
As Yuwen He said these words, a profound look flashed past his eyes, who knew what he was thinking.
Xiao Ruyue didn't pursue the matter any further, as she leaned into his embrace and asked indifferently: "Then Thirteen and Qingqing will be staying in the border trial?"
"Thirteen was in charge of supervising the movement of that brat Yuwen Xiao from the start. Qing Qing is her disciple, so I left his to train with. " Yuwen He did not hide the truth from her.
Xiao Ruyue smiled at him.
How could she not understand the meaning behind Yuwen He's words?
He had no other choice but to transfer Thirteen back to the Capital. However, Thirteen had thought that he shouldn't have done so, and he had seen it too. Presumably, he also noticed what she and Tang Jingzhi had seen. It was only natural for her to remain in the Fringe.
"In the next few days, Tang Jingzhi will be preparing to leave for Fringe City." Yuwen He suddenly said.
When Xiao Ruyue heard it, she immediately understood. "You wish for Tang Jingzhi to help him?"
Yuwen He: "En, settling down at the border is my country's biggest plan. Only with Tang Jingzhi taking care of it, can I be at ease."
That's true. Feng Yuting and the Flowing Sand Pavilion Master were powerful, it was not difficult for them to leave the capital without leaving behind any trace. And as long as they were there, the Tartars would not really give up. They even wanted to borrow Feng Yuting's special methods to take over the Western Xia.
The Crown Prince of Tatar seemed to be colluding with Yuwen Chenglian on the surface, but in reality, he was working with the mastermind Feng Yuting. Or it could be said that this Tatar Prince was actually being controlled by Feng Yuting.
Feng Yuting did not only have the crown prince in her hands, she also had the trump card of the Tatar Khan.
Without the support of the Tartar Khan, how could she have reached such a state? The fact that Ye Haitang could marry into the Western Xia as a princess of Tatar was the best proof.
These were not things that could be controlled by a crown prince who was trying his best to consolidate his power.
"If Tang Jingzhi goes, will Sister Ya Yin also go?" Xiao Ruyue asked.
Hearing that, Yuwen He looked at her and laughed, "She was reluctant to part with you, saying that she wanted to stay and watch over me, in case I did something that would let you down."
Xiao Ruyue was speechless.
It was fake for Big Sister Ya Yin to stay and look after Yuwen He's body.
A day passed, and a day less, and she knew it in her heart.
However, Yuwen He did all that he could to make her happy, she naturally had to make himself extremely happy, "You actually know that Big Sister Ya Yin loves me? If you really dare to do something that lets me down, Big Sister Ya Yin will not let you off lightly."
"Yes, yes, yes. Miss Liangqiu is resourceful and cannot be easily provoked."
"It's good that you know."
The two of them had a flirtatious chat in the inner room. It was time for lunch.
After passing down the food and food, only then did Xiao Ruyue remember what Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang said that morning. She explained the details, as well as sending two more palace maids with kung fu to Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang, and also told Yuwen He about the people who died in the palace and the young eunuchs who disappeared. She sent Lu Yi and Cai Yin to stir things up, and also told Yuwen He.
Although she had Yin Lin to tell her even if she didn't say it, she still wanted to say it herself.
Yuwen He paused for a moment after listening, a profound look quickly flashed past his eyes, and he said: "I will tell Chong Yue to watch out for this matter. As for the mother and daughter of the Princess Duanyun, you should watch out for them. "
"Yeah, I know that mother and daughter pair have ill intentions and will let them go."
"I'm afraid, but their intention is not only for Princess Qing He to enter the palace." Yuwen He said slowly, but there was a deeper meaning behind his words.
Xiao Ruyue was startled, only then did she realize the seriousness of the situation.
All this while, she had always known that Princess Qing He had risked her life to enter the palace, and she also knew that Princess Qing He was doted upon by the Empress Dowager. With Yuwen He's reminder, she finally understood that Princess Qing He did not just want to enter the palace.
In her heart, she must have the same thoughts as that beautiful autumn woman from before. She wanted to be the empress.
However, there was already an Empress in the palace. If Princess Qing He wanted to be the Empress, she had to push her down.
The human heart was sinister.
"Don't let Yin Lin leave your side. Have Shen Liang follow you around as well." Yuwen He's expression turned serious, he placed the vegetables into Xiao Ruyue's bowl, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
He was nervous.
He was also worried.
Xiao Ruyue was naturally clear of Yuwen He's concern for her. She solemnly nodded and assured his, "Don't worry, I won't put myself in danger. Even if I don't think for myself, I have to think for the child in my womb. "
"Speaking of which, I have to do it. Don't turn your head and ignore my words. " Yuwen He stared at her, afraid that she would risk her life just like she did a few times before.
Xiao Ruyue simply put down her chopsticks and raised her hand to swear to the heavens, "If you don't trust me, I'll swear to the Alliance. I, Xiao Ruyue, swear on this, that if I cannot protect myself, then "
"Who allowed you to swear?"
Without waiting for her to finish speaking, Yuwen He's face had already become as black as ash.
