Xiao Ruyue muttered in dissatisfaction and sat up.

"Empress." "Here we are."

"Where are we?"

"It is already noon. We have arrived at the town. His Majesty has instructed us to rest and eat before setting off."

Xiao Ruyue opened the window and looked outside, the sun was shining brightly above her head, did she sleep the whole morning?

She was lost in thought when a head suddenly appeared in front of her. "Little girl, you're finally awake."

Xiao Ruyue was shocked, she patted her chest: "Sister Ya Yin, before you appear, can you greet me first?"

Lady Liangqiu Yayin spread out her hands and shouted behind her, "Old fox, quickly prepare some food for your family's treasure. Pregnant women eat a lot. "

With that, the door opened from the outside. Yuwen He poked his head in and extended his hand out, "Come down to rest."

Xiao Ruyue massaged her heavy temple, and finally moved forward, and Yuwen He carried her out of the carriage.

Lu Yi followed behind, and Chong Yue took her in.

Yin Lin looked at her mistress, then looked at Chong Yue, shook his head, and jumped off the carriage.

When it came to Chong Yue, he had to say a few more words.

Earlier, when Chong Yue wasn't acting quite well as the imperial guards' vice commander, and had instead appeared among the group early in the morning, Xiao Ruyue asked curiously. The youth then said in all seriousness: "Chong Yue is born to be Your Majesty's man, and is a ghost of a dead monarch.

The empress also broke out in a cold sweat.

He always felt that there was something wrong with this word.

This town was only half a day's journey away from the capital, and it wasn't too far. There were many pedestrians travelling to and fro, and there were also quite a few guests having their meals in the inn.

The owner of the inn was fiddling with his abacus behind the counter when a shadow suddenly appeared in front of him.

When he looked up, he saw a youth with a picturesque appearance standing in front of the counter. He wore white clothes with a teardrop mark on his left eye. He was clearly a boy, but his facial features were even gentler than a girl's.

"Shopkeeper, please prepare 20 people's meals and a guest room."

The owner was stunned and quickly said, "The customers need so many dishes. There's only my wife in the kitchen. I'm afraid we won't make it in time."

"No worries, we have a chef here, and we have enough men." He heard another gentle male voice speaking from outside.

For some reason, this voice was pleasant to the ears.

The shop owner stretched his neck and looked over the youth standing in front of the counter. He saw a man dressed in a dark blue silk robe, his eyes were like stars, and when he didn't speak, his eyes made people's knees go weak, and his whole body emitted a domineering aura that made people bow in submission.

This set of dark clothes only had a light green ribbon tied around his waist. There weren't any other patterns, but it gave off a gorgeous aura when worn on this person's body.

There was a woman beside him who wore loose silk clothing and had her hair tied up in a bun. Her face was covered with a veil, and her eyes were looking over at him.

"Innkeeper, hurry up and tell them that my family's head and wife are hungry." The white-clothed youth, Chong Yang, frowned unhappily and knocked the counter with the sword. The shopkeeper finally regained her senses.

He hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes, this lowly one has lost his composure. Guests, please come in. "

The man in the deep blue robe was naturally Yuwen He, and the masked woman beside him was Xiao Ruyue as well. The reason why Xiao Ruyue covered his face was because the moment Yuwen He got out of the car with her, he had immediately covered her face with his blue veil, and said, "My wife's beauty cannot be seen by anyone else."

Xiao Ruyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

He could only silently curse in his heart that he had revealed his true colors now that he was out the door.

Liangqiu Yayin also shook his head.

Just then, Yuwen He and Xiao Ruyue entered the shop and sat down. The others followed suit and the small shop was immediately filled with people.

It was difficult to find this shop on the outpost. The location wasn't too far away, the reputation was good, and there was temporarily no one around. The lord's orders were a bit complicated, so it was difficult to carry them out.

There were not enough people in the shop, so Yuwen He's guards were just standing guard, with a few of them asking the owner where Ma Zhi was, then went to feed the horses.

Lu Yi also brought Chong Yue to the kitchen to help out. With so many people wanting to eat, one person would naturally be busy.

Wang Shangshu and the other two officials of the Ministry of Industry were sitting together. They were both literati, so their journey was probably not easy for them. However, because they were travelling together with the Emperor, the Empress did not say anything. Naturally, they did not dare to complain.

Xiao Ruyue was originally sitting right next to Yuwen He, but Liangqiu Yayin intentionally squeezed over and glanced at him, "I say, brother-in-law, I want to talk to my daughter, don't listen in." On the other hand, she was missing Yuwen He.

Chong Yang, the young man protecting the Patriarch, was unhappy and immediately said: "Miss Liangqiu, please be more courteous to our Patriarch."

Liangqiu Yayin waved her hands, and a guard outside walked in, and handed over a piece of paper to Yuwen He, and did not say a word. Yuwen He looked at it before putting it away in his hand. He then looked at Chong Yang again and told him to go out with him.

"Little girl, I still can't think of a way." As he spoke, his eyes continued to stare at Xiao Ruyue, "I think you should know about this matter, I can't keep it a secret anymore."

"I know." Xiao Ruyue nodded lightly.

"AHH!" You too. " Liangqiu Yayin's shock only lasted for an instant, "Are you ready?"

Xiao Ruyue nodded and smiled, "I understand. In any case, I will be with him. "

Liangqiu Yayin's lips moved a little, as though she wanted to say something, but in the end, she did not.

Yuwen He returned very quickly, but as soon as he returned, Liangqiu Yayin left and went to sit at the Wang Shangshu. She didn't treat herself as a girl at all, and happily chatted with the Wang Shangshu about what kind of wife she wanted to marry her son, Young Master Wang.

After lunch, Yuwen He brought Xiao Ruyue to the guest room upstairs to rest. The guest room had been prepared for her.

Xiao Ruyue rolled her eyes and dragged Yuwen He along with her. How could this gentleman be tempted by the empress? He immediately surrendered.

Lady Liangqiu Yayin was even secretly ridiculing him.

Upstairs, after closing the door, Yuwen He handed a letter to Xiao Ruyue: "Tang Jingzhi has come for news."

"The Tartars have finally made their move?"

She asked as she started to read rapidly.

Tang Jingzhi had written that a carnivorous poisonous insect had appeared in the mountain forest for no reason, and was suspected to be a Gu. He grabbed a few, but he didn't recognize what they were.

There was still a difference between ordinary poisonous insects and Gu.

Ordinary poisonous bugs were naturally raised, even if they would harm people, it was natural; Gu worms were different, the ones that were refined into Gu were mostly vicious insects, after refining into Gu, they would listen to their masters and do things according to their commands.

This was the biggest difference.

If a large number of poisonous bugs were to appear for no reason, then it was possible that they were not there for no reason.

Xiao Ruyue and Yuwen He looked at each other and understood each other.

Yuwen He said: We still have one more thing to take care of, we can only resolve this matter as soon as possible and rush over.

Xiao Ruyue agreed.

After resting for two hours, they departed.

After they left, Xiao Ruyue called Liangqiu Yayin to the carriage and intentionally brought up this matter. Liangqiu Yayin thought for a moment, then said: "Although Tang Jingzhi is not transferred, but at the critical moment, he is still quite reliable. If not for Pill King Valley's Fairy Doctor, how would she have accepted him as her disciple? "

Xiao Ruyue "puchi" laughed, "These words don't sound like praise in the slightest. But Tang Jingzhi will be very happy when he hears it. "

"Forget it. "Speaking of which, I feel a chill in my heart."

Seeing her helpless expression, Xiao Ruyue did not say anymore and extended his hand out to her, "Big sister Ya Yin, if we are to travel in the next few days, I do not want to burden everyone."

"I knew you would do this. I was already prepared." Liangqiu Yayin naturally understood what she meant as she took out a small bottle with no patterns from the pouch on her waist and placed it in her hands.

Xiao Ruyue took out the stopper and sniffed it, then smiled: Thank you, Big Sister Ya Yin.

Miss Liangqiu's expression became even more helpless.

This one or two was the same, making her old man worry so much for them.

There was almost no rest along the way, no rest until sunset.

After travelling for three consecutive days, the Qingyang County was already in sight.

The disaster in Qingyang County could be seen from the surroundings. If a county was in trouble, the people would be displaced.

They rushed into the county town at night. The tavern was no longer open and the owner just sat at the door and sighed. He scolded the county magistrate for not doing anything and only knew how to find women.

Chong Yue and Lu Yi went up to ask about the situation. When the inn owner saw that they were strangers, he became cautious and did not say anything, as if he was afraid that the foreigners would hurt him.

Lu Yi quickly said, "Boss, don't misunderstand. Our master came to visit a family, but was unable to find them during the year of the calamity. Your inn is the only one left in the city, can you let us stay there first? "

Lu Yi was a kind-looking girl, so what she said made her very trustworthy.

Just as the boss was still hesitating, Yuwen He and Xiao Ruyue also got off the car.

The owner of the inn saw that their clothes were extraordinary, especially when he saw the irresistible dignity of Yuwen He, he was unable to utter a word of rejection.

Only then did Yuwen He and the rest enter the store.

There isn't even a errand boy in the inn. "The boss bitterly laughed and said," In this year of disaster, even young people have to leave to escape. Who is still waiting for death here? "

"Then why didn't you leave, boss?"

"This is the only thing my old father left me. I will protect it even if I die." The boss was absolutely certain.

Yuwen He praised her with a smile, "What spirit."
