"That's right. It's only by murdering my husband that I can become a female emperor." The empress put her hands on her hips as if it was natural.

His Majesty was utterly defeated.

The empress had won without hesitation.

What happened tonight wasn't just out of nowhere, it was done step by step.

This matter would have to start from the time Yuwen He returned to the Phoenix Palace.

At that time, he had told her about the East Mausoleum, and they had talked about many things, including Fang Weiyong.

He asked Xiao Ruyue: "Recently, do you feel that there's anything different about Fang Weiyong?"

Xiao Ruyue originally did not think much, but after his reminder, she realized that there were a lot of things in the past that Yuwen He would not hide from Fang Weiyong.

Because Fang Weiyong had been by his side for so many years, he was his secret collector. However, Yuwen He seemed to have avoided Fang Weiyong recently. Fang Weiyong was still in front of him waiting on him, but he wouldn't come into contact with anything important.

After thinking about it, Xiao Ruyue understood what was going on, and asked him: "Is it that the Eunuch Fang has turned against him, or is he the person that has always been there?"

"If they change their ways, it's our fault that we can't keep them. If they have been there all the time, it can only mean that we don't know them well." Yuwen He's words were ambiguous, but Xiao Ruyue was laughing at it.

Since it was not because he could not keep others around, and was not the person from the start, then there could only be one possibility — Fang Weiyong might have been tricked or could not do anything to him. Feng Yuting knew too many evil ways, and her way was also far from the right one. It wasn't too strange that he had fallen into their trap.

However, this was not the most important thing.

The most important thing was, he would go with the flow. Only by adding fuel to the fire behind the scenes could he escape this predicament.

The reason Yuwen He told her all of these was also the same.

They discussed for a while, and intentionally revealed the news of moving Feng Yuting, allowing this news to travel through Fang Weiyong's mouth and into Yan Jue's ears. That was the reason for tonight's torture.

On the street outside the palace, a robbery took place in silence.

Dozens of black clothed people surrounded the carriage and effortlessly snatched away Feng Yuting who was in the carriage. Of course, Miss Liangqiu was no pushover, she and the four guards were originally going to fight to the death, but in the battle, the black clad men heard the whistle, and quickly retreated along with Feng Yuting.

From the moment it appeared to the moment it disappeared, it was extremely strange.

After a long while, Liangqiu Yayin puffed out a mouthful of impure air while supporting the carriage, as if she was muttering to herself: "This time, I can report back."

The night gradually turned darker.

After working for half the night, the dust finally settled.

Yuwen He had long ago asked Yin Lin to send someone to the medicine hut to see him down.

The night was as dark as ink. Xiao Ruyue laid on Yuwen He's chest, listening to his heartbeat.

In the morning of the next day, Yuwen He woke up early to go to the morning court. After not seeing him for a few days, Wang Lu's complexion looked much better than it did a few days ago.

According to her own words, "All of this was due to the Imperial Physician Fang."

Xiao Ruyue didn't know if it was an illusion, but she had a nagging feeling that when Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang mentioned the Imperial Physician Fang, there were actually some girls who were bashful at the corner of their eyes.

After Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie returned, Xiao Ruyue headed towards the Lushua Hall. She had intentionally worn a clean set of palace clothing and a white jade hairpin with water lotuses carved into it.

The truth of the Princess Duanyun's family's murder case was clear, and it could not be delayed any longer.

When Empress Dowager saw Xiao Ruyue coming over and lightly instructing someone to serve her tea, her feelings for the Queen became complicated.

Firstly, her old life was saved because of the Queen's good fortune, but secondly, because of her alone, the Emperor did not care about the matter of opening branches and dispersing leaves. Where did the emperor depose the harem alone? Right now, Yuwen He was about to expel the two or three concubines that were arranged in the imperial harem from the palace.

Therefore, Empress Dowager had some resentment towards Xiao Ruyue in her heart, but she had also heard what Yuwen He had said in front of her that day.

After being quiet for a while, the Empress Dowager pretended to take a sip of tea and asked, "Why did the Queen not invite the newborn baby of the Phoenix Palace to This Dowager's place? Xu mama is here to take care of this place, and there are still many servants present. I don't need to trouble the Queen to personally take care of this chore. "

"What are you saying, Empress Dowager? You are a grandmother and Chenqie is a granddaughter-in-law. It is natural for me to come and visit you." Xiao Ruyue was neither humble nor arrogant, he was calm and generous.

Empress Dowager sized her up, then said: "It's hard to find a girl of your age wearing such simple and clean clothes."

Xiao Ruyue suppressed the depression in her heart, and laughed as if nothing had happened without saying a word.

In the end, Empress Dowager was still unhappy and said many words that were sour to her, but Xiao Ruyue did not care and even asked Xu mama to bring the zither over, as she wanted to present a song to Empress Dowager.

Just as they were chatting, a young palace maid ran in frantically, and without even looking at anyone, she shouted, "Something has happened to Empress Dowager, Princess Duanyun and his family!" Before she could finish, she saw Xiao Ruyue, and was so frightened that her knees went weak, and she knelt down, "Lucky the Empress."

"What are you shouting for, are you in a hurry? What's wrong with Princess Duanyun's family?" Empress Dowager frowned. She was displeased at this palace maid's unsteady movements.

The palace maid glanced in Xiao Ruyue's direction and didn't dare to breathe too loudly.

It was rumored in the palace that His Majesty and the Empress had given a death command not to let the Empress Dowager know of this matter.

"Why are you looking at the empress when This Dowager wants you to speak?" Speak, what happened to Princess Duanyun? "

The palace maid was still looking at Xiao Ruyue, and Xiao Ruyue was also looking at her. She remained silent, but her eyes were calm and serene, like a deep pool.

"What did you say!"

Empress Dowager shrugged in shock. She stopped moving, closed her eyes and fell straight to the ground.

Xu mama and Yin Lin anxiously supported him and shouted, "Men, quickly call the imperial physician!"

Xiao Ruyue rushed forward and fed the Heart Saving Pill into Empress Dowager's mouth. Empress Dowager was unconscious.

Not long after, both Imperial Physician Li and Imperial Physician Wang were gathered.

The imperial physicians all heaved a sigh of relief after taking the pulse.

"Empress Dowager just fainted because of a surge of blood energy. It's not a big problem." Imperial Physician Li wiped off his sweat, as if he had just received his life from the gates of hell.

Previously, he and Imperial Physician Wang were in charge of taking care of Ye Haitang in the glazed pavilion for her recovery, but after the incident with Ye Haitang, he had been trembling with fear that if he made any mistakes, he would be sent out of the palace for a small crime.

It was the same for Imperial Physician Wang.

"Empress Dowager's body is considered strong. If it were any other ordinary person, how would they be able to withstand such a situation?" The Imperial Physician Wang sighed.

After speaking, he realized that he had said something wrong and looked towards Imperial Physician Li.

Imperial Physician Li's face did not look good as he looked at Xiao Ruyue nervously.

Looking at each of them, Xiao Ruyue's expression remained indifferent as she glanced at the Imperial Physician Fang, "Empress Dowager's body is indeed alright?"

Imperial Physician Fang bowed respectfully towards Xiao Ruyue. "Reporting to Empress, when Empress Dowager heard the grievous news, his blood and energy surged. If it were another old man of this age, he would not have been able to take it. Fortunately, Empress Dowager's body was strong, and the empress had timely used that genius doctor's life-saving pellet to protect his heart from injury, making him completely safe. Although Empress Dowager is not at risk of losing her life, she still needs to slowly recuperate. "

"Yes, I understand."

When the Imperial Physician Li and Imperial Physician Wang heard what the Imperial Physician Fang said, they looked at Xiao Ruyue in shock.

This was the first time they had ever heard of heartsaving pills. What kind of expert was the genius doctor? Was the empress waiting here for the news because the Empress Dowager would be so anxious?

Xiao Ruyue saw through their plans with a glance, but she did not plan to explain. She wanted Imperial Physician Li and the others to withdraw, leaving only Imperial Physician Fang.

"Empress, are you planning to guard Empress Dowager and wait for her to wake up?" Imperial Physician Fang asked while standing at the side.

Xiao Ruyue sat on a stool by the bed and smiled faintly, "Empress Dowager is still Master Jun's grandmother. Princess Duanyun Princess Qing He and her family are, after all, close relatives of the Empress Dowager.

"Then the matter of the Heart Sending Pill!"

"That was given to me by your master's uncle's lover last night."

She had been on tenterhooks ever since the incident with her grandmother. Sister Ya Yin had always been researching on these medicines, only then did she achieve small success. Worried that something might happen, she took the opportunity to bring a bottle for Yue Yang.

Now he really needed it.

Xiao Ruyue sat for a while and instructed Lu Yi to go to the imperial study and inform Yuwen He of this matter.

Empress Dowager still did not wake up, the medicine was given to him by Xiao Ruyue.

When Yuwen He finished his discussion, he rushed over, with and company following closely behind.

Empress Dowager was still asleep.

When Xiao Ruyue stood up, everything in front of him was suddenly pitch black. She swayed and was about to collapse, but luckily Yuwen He caught her in a flash and helped her sit down, "Go back and rest."

Xiao Jingyu anxiously wanted to step forward to pay his respects, but due to Yue Yang and the others being present, it was not easy to express his concern.

Yuwen He glanced at Yin Lin and asked her to support him to the neighboring room to rest.

Xiao Jingyu then seized the opportunity to follow.

"Little aunt, are you alright?" Both Grandmother and Grandfather are worried about you. "

"I'm fine, go back and pass on my greetings. Also, tell them not to worry about me." Xiao Ruyue took the cup of water that Yin Lin gave him and drank a mouthful of water before recovering, "You have to be careful around the Xiao Mansion recently, His Majesty will send more people over, but you can't let your guard down."

Xiao Jingyu nodded his head, "Today, His Majesty has already announced at the imperial court that he will head to Qingyang County in the middle of autumn. Little aunt, what are you going to say to this mistress? "
