Old Mistress Xiao slowly opened her eyes.
With hazy eyes, he saw the person before the bed. He was stunned for a moment before opening his eyes wide. "Your Majesty!"
However, his throat was so dry that it was hard for him to even make a sound.
Xiao Jingyu quickly poured a cup of water and passed it over. Xiao Ruyue helped the old lady drink the water, and the old lady still had a few silver needles stuck in her body. She did not have much strength left, so she could only shout in a hoarse voice, "Moon girl, you are my Moon girl?"
"Grandmother, you can't get too excited. Imperial Physician Fang said that you need to recuperate." Xiao Ruyue quickly held her down.
Xiao Jingyu also helped out, "That's right, too grandmother. Imperial Physician Fang has already said that you need to recuperate. "
Their aunt and nephew spoke back and forth, but the Old Mistress Xiao could not move, she could only obey them and did not move.
"What happened to me?"
"Your majesty fainted. The imperial physician came to give you a few needles, but everything's fine now." Xiao Ruyue said, "Please do not move, I will help you remove the remaining needles."
Old Mistress Xiao nodded her head, she then turned and looked at Yuwen He who was standing by the side of the bed and quickly said: "Your Majesty has arrived, please forgive this old one and forgive me."
"Don't worry about it, the madame will be fine as long as she lies down." Moreover, to be honest, I must teach you something that isn't right, grandma. "
Old Mistress Xiao hurriedly said she didn't dare.
Even though she was looking at Xiao Ruyue, she still didn't dare believe it in her heart. Her eyes were fixated on Xiao Ruyue, afraid that the moment she shifted her gaze away, she would disappear from her sight.
This is the Moon girl!
She really was her Moon girl.
She had thought that she had lost this girl ten years ago.
Unexpectedly, unsurprisingly …
Who would have thought that they would meet again today.
How many terrifying things had happened to her that caused her to turn into this completely different appearance?
The more Old Mistress Xiao thought about it, the more upset she felt.
Xiao Ruyue's hand that was holding onto the needle paused, "Grandmother, what's wrong?"
"Without me, I would be happy. "Yes, I am."
He cried tears of joy.
No matter how the Moon girl looked like, it was fine as long as she returned.
It's good to be back.
Xiao Ruyue turned to look at Yuwen He and smiled bitterly.
After pulling out the needles, Xiao Jingyu roughly told the old lady about what happened after Old Mistress Xiao fainted.
Actually, they had already confirmed Xiao Ruyue's identity, and now, they were only missing one last step.
Old Mistress Xiao had only reunited with her grandson and daughter after a long time. She was both happy, but she didn't dare to be too happy.
She didn't want to sleep at all, she was just afraid that Xiao Ruyue would disappear the moment she closed her eyes and woke up. It was only because Xiao Ruyue made a thousand promises that she took the medicine to rest.
But even so, she still held onto Xiao Ruyue's hand tightly in her dreams.
Xiao Ruyue was helpless, she could only let her grab him.
Xiao Jingyu thought of a way to persuade the great granny in his sleep, then let her go, he said: "Great granny, I want to bring Little Aunt to see her room."
After saying so, the old mistress let go of him.
One could imagine how much Old Mistress Xiao missed her granddaughter.
Xiao Jingyu did not lie, and brought Xiao Ruyue to see her room in high spirits.
Yuwen He naturally followed along.
This room had been unoccupied for more than ten years, but it was spotlessly clean, as if there were still people living here.
Xiao Ruyue touched every single trace of her life. The zither she had played in the past, the taels she had used for embroidery and the embroidery lines she had, were all still properly preserved. Even the chairs and tables were the items from back then. That was because the edge of the table in her room had been cut by her, who had been naughty before. With a single glance, one could tell that there was absolutely no second item.
"For the past ten years or so, my great mistress has been coming to this room almost every day to take a look. I also need to go to my parents' and grandparents' rooms to take a look. The number of people in the house is getting smaller and smaller.
Xiao Jingyu stroked the spotless table and sighed, "Today, I finally got my little aunt here. It's actually not a dream. "
Xiao Ruyue let out a faint sigh and sat down on the edge of the bed. Yuwen He sat by her side, right beside her.
Seeing that, Xiao Jingyu tactfully retreated.
It's good to be like my aunt and my lord.
"Yuwen He."
"Yes."
Xiao Ruyue tilted his head, leaning on Yuwen He's shoulder, "Do you think I'm dreaming?"
"No." Yuwen He laughed, brushed off the hair on her forehead and lightly kissed her.
"Actually, I've been to this room countless times in the past ten years."
Xiao Ruyue was startled upon hearing this.
But it was quickly relieved that, for a man in love like Yuwen He to rely on his good martial arts to fly over the wall, sneaking into her room was also within reason.
"If you want to come in the future, then come out in the open. Although it was convenient to climb over the wall and go through the back door, it was not so pleasant to hear it spread out. "You are the king, the ruler of a nation."
Yuwen He said: "From now on, you will be by my side, so naturally you won't need to look at people thinking about things."
Xiao Ruyue did not reply: I'm afraid that one day it will be my turn to take a look at people.
Because they promised the madame not to leave while she was asleep, Yuwen He and Xiao Ruyue waited for her to wake up before they left.
Before they left, Xiao Ruyue and the Old Mistress were reluctant to part with him. But Xiao Ruyue had promised repeatedly that she would come again to see her elder.
Yuwen He also needed to rest and recuperate. As the old mistress was resting, Xiao Ruyue dragged him to lie down and rest for an hour.
After getting on the carriage, Xiao Ruyue heaved a sigh of relief.
"The madame's matter has always been a sore point in your heart. Now can you feel relieved?" Yuwen He laughed faintly.
Xiao Ruyue paused, looked at Yuwen He, then lowered his head and said: "I want to see my father sometime."
Yuwen He did not object, and said indifferently: "Then let's find a time to have the Wenshansu enter the palace."
"Alright."
The carriage ride back to the palace was slower and slower than before. It was already afternoon. Logically speaking, there would be people setting up stalls to do business every day in the capital, but today, the streets were incredibly quiet.
The carriage came to a halt as it moved forward.
"What's going on?" Xiao Ruyue was startled.
Yuwen He smiled at her and asked Chong Yang who was outside, "What happened?"
"Mistress, we are surrounded." Chong Yang had been by Yuwen He's side for many years, and could be considered to have seen a lot of wind and waves, with very few times of panic.
General Shen also said, "Not optimistic."
Yuwen He poked his head out of the carriage.
The carriage was surrounded by dozens of masked men in black, and they had no qualms in broad daylight. There was no one on the street.
"Although I don't know why the men from the Patrol Battalion have disappeared at this time, do you all think that you can succeed in broad daylight?"
"Your Majesty doesn't need to speak so quickly. Our target today is you. If you obediently surrender, we won't need to do anything. "
Yuwen He disapprovingly snorted lightly, "So it turns out you want our lives, then just come and take it. As long as you are alive. "
"Attack!" At the order of the leader, the rest of the men immediately swarmed over.
General Shen was the first to be hit, Chong Yang's reaction was also fast, he pulled out his sword and rushed forward.
Yuwen He saw that Xiao Ruyue was about to bite her hand, and immediately held her down, "The protective Gu's vitality is greatly injured, and it needs your vitality to raise it. The last time you were kidnapped by Yuwen Chenglian, the Jade Silkworm Gu's vitality was already severely damaged, do you think I wouldn't know about that?"
Xiao Ruyue swallowed the words that were about to leave her mouth, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
"You promised me that you wouldn't do anything rash. Yin Lin, take good care of the Empress. " Yuwen He pushed Xiao Ruyue into Yin Lin's embrace and jumped off the carriage.
Xiao Ruyue didn't even have time to stop him.
Their target is you!
Yuwen He casually picked up the horsewhip as a weapon. Xiao Ruyue peeked her head out worriedly to look, but even Fang Weiyong, who did not look that strong, started to fight with his bare hands.
So it turned out that even he knew martial arts, and from the looks of it, he was not bad at all.
The other party probably did not expect that among the five people on the carriage, including General Shen riding on horseback, there were already four with extraordinary abilities.
However, after being stunned for a moment, the black-clothed person brought out all of his strength.
These men in black were not easy to deal with. Yuwen He exchanged a few blows with the leader and felt that the horsewhip was really not easy to handle.
He casually tossed the whip back onto the carriage, and with a flick of his waist, his belt began to emit a cold light. The treasured sword that was as thin as a cicada's wing reflected a strange flame under the sunlight.
A scarlet light!
The eyes of the black clothed man who looked like the captain of the squad stared blankly for a moment, and then involuntarily shouted: "Crimson Nimbus!"
"Good eye!" Yuwen He praised, but he showed no mercy. The Scarlet Firmament Sword in his hand was like a flame, releasing a terrifying killing intent!
Xiao Ruyue who was in the horse carriage was restless, but she knew that she could not cause any trouble. Yin Lin shot a signal into the sky and comforted her: "It's fine, Niang Niang. Your Majesty's martial arts are powerful, and with Chong Yang, General Shen and the rest, we will definitely be able to hold them off for a while.
What she said was true. However, she could only watch helplessly, unable to help. Don't be impulsive at this time. Don't cause trouble is the best help.
Xiao Ruyue, calm down.
Calm down.
She fought the urge to rush out of the car and dug her nails into her flesh. It hurt.
Yuwen He and the other three could not win against more than ten people. The people on the other side were all experts, and they came prepared. After dispersing Yuwen He and the other three, they formed a formation for each of them.
Yuwen He's martial arts were naturally not weak, but his current body was different. A prolonged battle was undoubtedly fatal for him.
Xiao Ruyue could not bother anymore as she jumped down from the carriage. The Jade Silkworm Gu flew out from her palm and fiercely bit on the wrist of one of the black-clothed men. The man screamed and fell. However, there were still others who quickly took up their positions.
Just as they were at a standstill, they heard the sound of horses' hooves approaching from the distance
