Fang Weiyong then brought Xiao Shunzi in and bowed respectfully to Xiao Jingyu. "Xiao Shang Shu, His Majesty ordered us to send you out of the palace. Xiao Shunzi, send Master Shang Shu back to his residence, you must do so. "

"Yes, Master!" Xiao Shunzi deserved to be sonorous and powerful, but when he turned to Xiao Jingyu, he was respectful: "Xiao Shang Shu, please follow me out of the palace."

Xiao Jingyu's expression was unsettled.

She thought for a moment as if she had made a decision. Then, she put the embroidered handkerchief away and clasped her hands together. "Then I'll have to trouble Eunuch."

Xiao Shunzi quickly replied: "I don't dare." With that, he led Xiao Jingyu out of the palace.

Fang Weiyong then replied his.

Watching Xiao Jingyu leave with his own eyes, Yuwen He instructed Yin Lin and Chong Yang, "Wait here, after the Empress and Lord Qian have finished their discussion, I'll send her back to the Phoenix Palace."

Yin Lin and Chong Yang were suspicious, but did not ask, and could only nod their heads.

Xiao Ruyue and Master Qian talked for two hours in the royal study room, but they were not done yet. But Xiao Ruyue could not be at ease with Jing Yu, so she told her to chat another day, and that she would have Censor Qian sent out of the palace.

She drank a cup of water and when she came out, she could not find Yuwen He's figure. Only Yin Lin and Chong Yang was waiting for her.

"Empress, His Majesty has ordered this servant to send you back." Without waiting for Xiao Ruyue to speak, Yin Lin went forward and bent her knees to bless her.

Xiao Ruyue frowned, "Where is His Majesty?"

Yin Lin did not utter a word.

Xiao Ruyue looked at Chong Yang again, and Chong Yang couldn't help but look at her, and honestly say, "Your Majesty, he went to Lushua Hall."

Lushua Hall.

Did he explain it to the Empress Dowager on her behalf?

Xiao Ruyue muttered to herself for a moment, but did not insist on going to the Lushua Hall, and instead instructed Yin Lin, "Go back."

Chong Yang looked at Yin Lin with a complicated expression.

Yin Lin looked back at him: If you know something's wrong, you shouldn't talk too much.

The young man immediately had a serious face, quietly following behind Xiao Ruyue, with not a single person in sight.

After returning to the Invitation Phoenix Palace, Xiao Ruyue took off her official robe and changed into some palace clothes. She scattered the hair that was tied up, casually tied it with a hairpin, then took out a taut piece and sat down to embroider. The bottom of the dress was a piece of bright red silk, the pattern of the embroidery was that of a mandarin duck.

Yin Lin gaped and asked: "Who is the Empress embroidery for?"

The needle in Xiao Ruyue's hand stopped as she glanced at her. "I've prepared this for you."

Yin Lin, "…"

After a long while, she finally found her voice. "Empress, Yin Lin did not mean to say that …"

"No worries, I'll prepare it for you first. If not, one day you will suddenly say that you found your perfect husband. By then, it might be too late." You have followed me for so long, and also been loyal and devoted to His Majesty. You can't expect me to not express anything when you want to leave the pavilion. "

Yin Lin was actually at a loss for words.

The rules in the palace were very strict. It was only with the Empress that Lu Yi and Chong Yue could meet each other. In this world, men and women's etiquette was strict. Where was she supposed to find a husband for herself when she lived with the empress in the palace?

Of course, she could only hide these words in her own stomach as she silently retreated.

Xiao Ruyue was sewing on the embroidery on top of the needle but her mind was not on it.

Counting the time, Yuwen He had already been gone for almost two hours, why was he not back yet?

When word spread out that she was disguised as a man, the first thing was that it would not be easy for the Empress Dowager to pass through. Actually, she was supposed to go by herself, but it was also agreed that she would go and beg for forgiveness after leaving the imperial court.

However, he had used a delaying tactic to trap her and then left by himself.

Unknowingly, Xiao Ruyue felt a sharp pain on his finger, and as if she had just awoken from a dream, she saw that his index finger had been pricked by a needle, and droplets of blood had congealed on the wound.

"Does it hurt?" Yuwen He appeared behind her without warning and pulled her hand over, "If you're tired, then don't do all this."

Xiao Ruyue was taken aback, "You, when did you come back? Why is it that when no one makes a sound when walking, they don't report it? "

"You're confused, when did I report back?" Yuwen He lightly tapped her forehead, telling her to sit down, "I went to the Empress Dowager to sit for a while, and explained everything to her."

Xiao Ruyue frowned, "How did you explain it?"

"According to the facts, I'll explain it as I please." Yuwen He spread out his hands, speaking casually.

But there was no need to go, Xiao Ruyue could already guess what the Empress Dowager had said.

Although Empress Dowager approved of her as a Queen, she was the most respectful of the elderly.

One had to know that men and women were not allowed to be intimate with each other. If word were to spread that she had disguised herself as a man and gone to take the Imperial examinations and had even been a Minister for Water of the Military Department for such a long period of time, people would criticize her.

It would be weird if the Empress Dowager could calm her anger so easily.

"Did she say something?"

Yuwen He laughed as if nothing had happened, "No matter how angry Empress Dowager is, she still won't do anything to me, the emperor.

Xiao Ruyue was so angry by his nonchalant attitude that she could not speak. She choked him, "Your plans were quite thorough, you set me up from the very beginning."

"Elder Sister Xiao, please take responsibility." Yuwen He smirked, "Isn't this the only Queen in the world? How can we do this to others?"

"Are you saying that I have to thank His Majesty for setting up this trap?" Xiao Ruyue said with a smile that did not reach his eyes.

Yuwen He raised his eyebrows, "If Elder Sister Xiao wants to thank me, I will accept it too."

Xiao Ruyue unhappily rolled her eyes and threw herself into his embrace, "You've said everything, what else do you want me to say?"

Her arms had just reached his back, when she heard Yuwen He's muffled groan. Xiao Ruyue's face changed and quickly went to strip his clothes.

"Elder Sister Xiao, what are you doing?" Yuwen He grabbed her hand and looked at her helplessly.

Xiao Ruyue's face darkened, she was truly angered now, "Let go, let me see your injuries."

"I'm fine, where are the injuries? "Don't let your thoughts run wild."

Xiao Ruyue puffed her cheeks and stared at him for a long time, "You're really not showing it to me?"

Yuwen He's sword-like eyebrows arched between her eyebrows, holding onto her strength and not relaxing at all.

She steeled herself and tiptoed toward his thin lips.

Yuwen He was startled for a moment. He did not know when, but a silver needle had appeared in his hand, and he quickly found his acupuncture point and pierced it. The move was caught off guard, as Yuwen He was not prepared and was unable to move.

"Elder Sister Xiao has grown up. "They've all learned how to sneak attack."

Xiao Ruyue did not utter a word, with a cold expression she pulled out the silver needles and stripped his clothes off.

Yuwen He did not forget to tease her with a mischievous smile, "It would not be good if someone saw you stripping me of my clothes in broad daylight."

"I didn't see you say it wasn't good when you were peeling my clothes in the daytime." Xiao Ruyue snatched the white cloth from him, as he spoke, he stripped the last piece of the white clothes from Yue Yang's body.

She turned around and saw that the scars on his back were clear and swollen. If he were to hit it a few more times, the skin would split open.

Just as Xiao Ruyue touched him, he let out a muffled snort. Her nose turned sour and her tears flowed down like rain.

Didn't you say that the Empress Dowager wouldn't do anything to an emperor like you? At most, she would lose her temper and scold you.

Xiao Ruyue choked with sobs, unable to hide her sobs.

Yuwen He could not move at the moment, he could not turn his head back, he tried to turn his head but to no avail, he could only advise, "Don't cry, it's just a superficial wound. It makes sense for Royal Grandmother to use family rules to teach this unruly grandson of hers a lesson. Furthermore, if it was anyone else, it would not be as simple as just a single beating. "

Xiao Ruyue covered her mouth to not let herself cry, and forced the sob back, "Don't move, I'll go get the medicine for you."

"Do you want me to lie down? Your hands are tired enough for me to stand like this. "

"Shut up!"

Xiao Ruyue roared, and began to rummage through the boxes.

She clearly remembered that Big Sister Ya Yin had given her a bottle of high-quality trauma medicine.

But where exactly was the bottle of jade ointment?

The more she panicked, the more she couldn't find it. The more she panicked, the more she couldn't think of it.

"Where did you put it?!"

After being shouted at by her, Yuwen He did not speak anymore, but hearing the peng pang sounds behind him, only endless helplessness and pain appeared in his eyes.

"Don't worry, it won't hurt. Look for it slowly."

"If you're not in a hurry, then I'm in a hurry. If you don't, then I'm in a lot of pain!" Xiao Ruyue was so angry that he stomped his feet, and cursed and cried, "In the future, I will not listen to your rotten ideas anymore. Do you really think you're made of iron? "

Even as he shed tears, he didn't forget to rummage through the drawers.

Yuwen He clenched his teeth, channeled his entire body's energy, and seemed to be in a struggle. Just as Xiao Ruyue found the Jade Muscle Ointment in the drawer of the dressing table, she heard a low growl, turned her head, and saw Yuwen He stagger to two steps to stabilize himself.

He had actually broken through his own acupoint!

"You, you, you are simply messing around!" General Shen had said before that breaking through an acupoint was a trick, just in case it was an internal injury.

He simply didn't take his body seriously.

Yuwen He took a deep breath and slowly walked towards her.

Her palms cupped her palm-sized face, and her thumbs gently caressed it. "Don't cry. You cry, I'm in pain. "

Xiao Ruyue's heart felt like it was grabbed by an invisible hand, the pain made it hard to breathe.

"Yuwen He, are you able to protect yourself? Do you know that other than you, there is no one else in this world who dotes on me like you? "What will I do if you lose yourself?"

Xiao Ruyue cried.

The pear blossoms were still in the rain, looking pitiful.

Yuwen He sighed, and then tightly held her in his arms.

Xiao Ruyue, however, did not dare to move. She was afraid that if she moved even the slightest bit, it would affect the wound on his back.

"Yuwen He, you're in pain, but I'm in pain too."

It hurts your body and hurts my heart.
