Yuwen He's face turned cold, "What happened?"

Chong Yang said: "When the neighbors in Prince Consort's Mansion smelled the thick stench of blood, they sent their men out to see. A group of masked men dressed in black jumped over the wall and came out. The brothers of the guard battalion patrolled the city and began to fight with them. When we rushed to the Prince Consort's Mansion, there were already dozens of people there.

"He fell in a pool of blood. Not a single animal survived. "

Even Chong Yang, who had killed countless people on the battlefield, had shown such uneasiness in his narration. It was obvious how tragic the situation was in the Prince Consort's Mansion.

Yuwen He's face darkened. He understood Chong Yang, so he could tell how tragic the Prince Consort's Mansion's massacre was.

Xiao Ruyue's expression did not look any better either.

In the afternoon, she caught Feng Yuting, and Yuwen He had also ordered for Princess Qing He and her daughter to not be allowed to enter the palace. Prince Consort's Mansion's entire family were immediately massacred, and Yan Jue was trying to put on a show of force for them.

If he was truly the late emperor's second son, then no matter what, he would be siblings with the Princess Duanyun, and would also be related by Sun Qing He by blood.

His methods were so vicious that even human nature disappeared without a trace!

"Chong Yang, you and Autumn Word have personally made a trip to the Prince Consort's Mansion. "Do not let any clues go, we must not miss any clues." Yuwen He instructed.

Xiao Ruyue thought for a moment, then added, "If there is anything tricky, I will directly ask Big Sister Ya Yin for help."

Chong Yang took his orders solemnly and left. With the help of the Miss Liangqiu, who was extremely nimble and had a nose smarter than a dog's, he had much more confidence.

Yuwen He called Fang Weiyong in again and instructed him: "The annihilation of the Prince Consort's Mansion will be kept under wraps. No one is allowed to bring it up to Empress Dowager."

Fang Weiyong agreed, then hesitated, "But after all …

"Just do it." Yuwen He did not give him a chance to speak any further, and decisively interrupted him.

Fang Weiyong then retreated obediently.

After following Yuwen He around for so many years, he was very clear on the temper of this Lord. His actions were well thought out, so the things he decided on could not be shaken.

Fang Weiyong left, and Xiao Ruyue was the only one left in the room.

"Why don't you let Fang Weiyong finish his words? "What he said makes sense." Xiao Ruyue closed the book in her hands and looked at Yuwen He seriously, "Something happened in Prince Consort's Mansion, it can't be hidden from me for a while, paper can't wrap a fire. I have hidden it from you now. In the future, if Empress Dowager were to blame this time, it would all be because of you. "

"En, but at least I can give her an explanation without telling her." Yuwen He's spirit was gone from his body, and his answer was as light as a feather.

It wasn't hard for Xiao Ruyue to understand the suppression in his words, she opened up her arms and hugged him, "I know, I even know that you gave Empress Dowager a fierce beating just for me, yet you turned around and this happened to Princess Duanyun's family. When Empress Dowager is old, no matter how biased she is, she's still your elder. I understand. "

"As long as you understand, it's all for your own good." "It won't be that long since you can hide it from the Empress Dowager, as long as you wait until Chong Yang and the others find out who it was, it'll be enough."

Xiao Ruyue was startled, and understood the meaning behind his words.

He clearly wanted to say that before the situation was clear, he didn't want the Empress Dowager to blame everything on her.

Now, they still did not have conclusive evidence. He did not want the Empress Dowager to come to her and denounce her after it happened, even though he had yet to find out the truth.

It was never a good thing to be hated by the elders.

He

She was the only one that had been on his mind all along.

Just her.

"Yuwen He, why are you so good to me?" Leaning on his chest and listening to his heartbeat, Xiao Ruyue only felt that there was heat in his eyes, and that tears could burst out at any moment.

"You are my wife. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat?" Yuwen He said as if it was as expected. His slender fingers moved between her hair and stroked her hair.

A wave of warmth flowed out lazily from his heart, making Xiao Ruyue feel light as a feather.

"Did you make me look like this because you want me to go against my will?"

When he heard this, he hurriedly straightened her face and looked into her eyes. "Who else are you going to look for other than me?"

Just as Xiao Ruyue was about to speak, he continued, "Where in the world can we find such a handsome, rich and gentle husband like us? Don't even bother holding onto lanterns, you can't even find a second one under the sun!"

Puff.

This man, no matter what he looked like in front of his entire dynasty of civil and military officials, was always like this in front of her. In less than a cup of tea's time, his true form was revealed.

"I already insisted on you, so you should just continue to get used to it. "One day, when even you can't stand me anymore, you should also turn your back on me."

"Why? This Emperor is used to it." "It's my responsibility to be good or bad."

Line line.

They were making a ruckus, but it couldn't hide the seriousness of the atmosphere.

What was coming was getting closer day by day.

It didn't matter whether he wanted to or not.

Xiao Ruyue simply closed her eyes and leaned into Yuwen He's embrace, "I'm tired, and want to sleep a bit."

"Yes, I'm here."

"Tell me about the Great General as well."

Yuwen He paused for a moment and laughed.

It seemed like nothing could be hidden from her eyes and heart.

"You still remember that marble temple Qing Liu Yuan, right?"

Of course he remembered. Not to mention this person, even the scene where his concubine and legal wife had almost involved Jing Yu was known by everyone in the capital.

After that, when the Jingzhou caused trouble with the history of the assassins and the verdict of mutual impeachment, Liu Yuan was sent to the Jingzhou as a messenger. Isn't this just like a meat bun beating a dog until it doesn't come back?

At that time, Yuwen He had ordered the people of Jingzhou to bring him back to the capital. He had then been robbed on the way, and the last person to die and the last person to disappear. Liu Yuan's whereabouts were still unknown.

"Is he really taken away by that good brother of yours, that great general?"

"I don't know if he's the prisoner." "Yuwen He purposely paused for a moment, deliberately trying to keep her in suspense." Thirteen pigeons sent a message back, saying that she saw Liu Yuan being imprisoned in the army with her own eyes.

Hearing that, Xiao Ruyue who was narrowing his eyes and accumulating energy heard it and opened his eyes. His eyes were bright and clear like spring water as she looked at Yuwen He, "Thirteen saw it with his own eyes, where's Qing Qing?"

She wasn't sure if it was due to a woman's intuition, but she felt it was better to ask.

"Mmm, Qing Qing didn't follow."

Xiao Ruyue made an 'oh' sound, and then stopped talking.

Yuwen He did not say anymore, and lightly kissed her forehead, then kissed his again, like a child playing at home.

It wasn't until the latter half of the night that Chong Yang returned from the Prince Consort's Mansion, along with Qiu Ci. Chong Yang had obviously changed his clothes before returning, there was no scent of blood on his body.

Xiao Ruyue and Yuwen He sat on the soft bed for half the night. To be precise, Xiao Ruyue had leaned on her husband's body for half the night.

Hearing the news from outside, Yuwen He shook Xiao Ruyue awake and dressed her in her clothes.

At first she was still confused, but when she heard the noise outside, her sleepiness faded.

Liangqiu Yayin walked at the front, with a serious expression on her face. Normally, she would not easily enter the palace when there was nothing going on, and it was rare for her to display such a look.

Her current expression was a clear indication of the seriousness of the situation.

Chong Yang also had a serious face, but Qiu Ci's eyes were still shining. It was unknown what terrifying thing she had seen that caused her to still have some lingering fears in her heart.

However, she did not steal nor say anything. She just stood quietly at the side, waiting for Chong Yang to report the general situation.

"Your Majesty, esteemed wangfei, a majority of Prince Consort's Mansion's people were killed by sharp blades. Their swords and sabers were wounded all at once. But only Princess Qing He of the Princess Duanyun and Prince Consort Sun are exceptions.

Chong Yang could not help but look at Yuwen He.

He gave her a reassuring smile and put his arm around her waist to signal her not to worry.

"Princess Qing He's neck was crushed, and she suffocated to death; Princess Duanyun's spine was fractured, her ribs were fractured, and they were forcibly inserted into her internal organs, causing massive bleeding. As for Prince Consort Sun and his son … "

Chong Yang gritted his teeth, "Prince Consort Sun's body was hung on a beam in the main hall, his neck was cut open, and blood kept flowing down along the stone pillar. "His four limbs were broken, and all that was left of him was his body in the water tank, and he died of his blood loss."

That was why Qiu Ci looked like she had seen a ghost.

That was why Big Sister Ya Yin had such a serious expression.

Back then in Fringe City, when they were on the battlefield, she had not changed her expression, but hearing Chong Yang's description, a scene unconsciously formed in her mind. She could not help but feel sour in her stomach.

Yuwen He pulled out a spittoon from under the soft collapse and placed it in front of Xiao Ruyue, "Don't listen if you're not feeling well."

A person with six ranks shouldn't listen to these words. If he did, it would be bad for the mother and child, after all.

Xiao Ruyue shook his head, grabbing onto his hand, the wet eyes looking at him, Yuwen He surrendered, and indicated for Chong Yang to continue.

Chong Yang said: "Other than Princess Duanyun's family of four, the rest were all killed by a single blade. From the look of the wounds, they are identical to the group of 'Quicksand' that ambushed us previously."

He really was a person of Quicksand.

Such a cruel method, it was really Yan Jue's doing!

Yuwen He's pitch-black eyes burned with a raging fire. Could it be that all of the late emperor's sons were heartless and heartless?!

"Also," Liangqiu Yayin finally spoke up, she took a step forward and looked at Xiao Ruyue with her bright eyes, "We found some special traces in the western courtyard of Prince Consort's Mansion."
