"That's true. Ever since we entered the Qingyang County, everything seemed to have been formed naturally, as if someone had been waiting for us for a long time now. It was so smooth that I thought that the hearts of the people were all good, your Majesty was also blessed by the heavens. "

Xiao Ruyue looked at him and understood each other.

If not for the fact that there was someone backing him up, he would not have dared to act so recklessly. The most ridiculous thing was that County Official Dong kept saying that the person behind him was Prince Consort Sun, but he didn't know that Prince Consort Sun's faction had been destroyed long ago.

All the signs indicated that someone was secretly operating from Qingyang County.

In the end, Yan Jue already couldn't wait and wanted to meet Yuwen He.

"Miss Liangqiu Yayin jumped in from the window, stared at the couple and said seriously:" These few days, I went through Qingyang County from top to bottom. There was supposed to be, but there wasn't anything that I shouldn't have, this place is really weird.

Yuwen He and Xiao Ruyue looked at each other, and then, Xiao Ruyue took away the words "peaceful and calm, neither arrogant nor impetuous" and wrote another two words: Yan Jue.

Liangqiu Yayin snorted, then said to Xiao Ruyue: "These two days, I have been ordered by your dog emperor, causing me to have a difficult time at the front and back, so it's my turn to rest now. This place is no longer a threat and doesn't need me anymore. I have to take this opportunity to catch a few bugs on the riverbank, maybe there will be more use in the future. "

Then he jumped out of the window.

Xiao Ruyue stared at the window and laughed out. Yuwen He stared at her with interest and said without changing her expression, "Big sister Ya Yin said that the emperor would send people to run errands for you."

"En, if Elder Sister Xiao says she is the Dog Emperor, then she is the Dog Emperor." Listening to his light tone and the pleased expression on his face, he felt quite satisfied with the scolding.

Xiao Ruyue, "… I really believe in you."

Yue Yang sent a message from the capital saying that the diplomatic mission that was to present gifts to the Emperor of East Mausoleum had set off, and would be able to reach the East Mausoleum on the day of the Emperor's birthday, as scheduled.

In the afternoon, Xiao Ruyue pulled Yuwen He along to the county magistrate court to find the Wang Shangshu and the others to discuss the final and crucial part of the blueprint for the levee.

After the County Order of Dong was beheaded, Wang Shangshu moved to the County Magistrate's Office. Before the new County Order took office, he temporarily took over the position of County Magistrate.

Wang Shangshu was happy to see Xiao Ruyue, but he did not dare show it too much in front of Yuwen He, and only raised a few doubts and discussed it with Xiao Ruyue and the other two masters of the Ministry of Industry.

Xiao Ruyue had her own understanding of water conservancy projects, which was why the Wang Shangshu had insisted for her to enter the Ministry of Work.

They stayed in the county magistrate's office all afternoon, and only ended their discussion when the sun was about to set.

Xiao Ruyue stretched her back lazily and in the end, her eyes were filled with a wave of dizziness that almost caused him to faint on the spot. ))

He staggered two steps and fell into Yuwen He's embrace.

His brows furrowed and his expression turned ugly. "What's wrong?"

Xiao Ruyue hesitated, and then said with a look that was difficult to voice out, "I'm hungry."

Yuwen He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

It was already late in the night, so they had dinner at the county magistrate court before returning to the inn.

Yuwen He was the one who insisted on staying at the inn. He said that he liked staying at the inn, but that the county magistrate was not used to it.

He had nothing to say for the empress's sake.

Xiao Ruyue went to bathe and change her clothes, then turned to see what Yuwen He was waiting to see. He heard her footsteps, turned and smiled at her.

"There's news from the border guard." As he spoke, he handed over the slip of paper he was reading to Xiao Ruyue, "There's no time to delay, Tang Jingzhi is urging us to hurry over."

She took it and quickly skimmed through it. Tang Jingzhi had said in his letter that the bugs in Fringe City were burning their eyebrows. He had tried his best to deal with them, but none of them worked. Those bugs were multiplying so fast that it was shocking. The forest had almost been devoured completely.

With the situation so grim, he was truly worried.

Xiao Ruyue looked at Yuwen He, "Are we leaving tomorrow?"

Yuwen He nodded his head, "Of course the sooner the better, didn't we already settle the matters on the blueprint today, we can hand it over to Wang Shangshu and the rest."

Xiao Ruyue hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Even without Tang Jingzhi's message, what are your plans today?"

Yuwen He did not deny it.

Xiao Ruyue sighed and came over after a long while: "Then I'll ask Yin Lin and the others to pack up."

As he spoke, he walked to the door.

Yuwen He did not speak. Looking at her back, he revealed a faint smile.

There was a hint of bitterness in his smile.

The next morning, Yuwen He explained the matter to Wang Shangshu. Regarding the matter where Yuwen He and the rest were leaving, Wang Shangshu was not surprised at all.

The new county magistrate was already on his way, and he wouldn't be able to hold the position for more than a few days. Next, he would be able to repair the dike and return to the capital.

Before Xiao Ruyue and the others left, Wang Shangshu was still worried about her, so she pulled her and talked a lot. He treated the empress in front of him like his own daughter and imparted him the things his wife should have done when she was pregnant. Xiao Ruyue said that she humbly accepted the instruction.

When they left, the citizens of Qingyang County came on their own to send them off, the scene was not cold at all.

Once they were out of Qingyang County City, they rode at full speed. Other than resting, no one would change their horses. It was also all thanks to Xiao Ruyue, the pregnant woman, that she was able to hold on for a long time.

They didn't stop for long and arrived at the military camp of Fringe City in a few days.

The Great General Yuwen Xiao led the Vice General Yang Junda and the other generals to the entrance of the camp to welcome them.

Yuwen He had already informed them beforehand, so they had prepared a camp early in the morning. Once they arrived at the camp, Yin Lin and Lu Yi brought Xiao Ruyue to rest.

"Empress, are you alright?" Seeing Xiao Ruyue's pale face, Lu Yi nervously twirled her ten fingers.

Xiao Ruyue shook his head at her, tired to the point that she didn't even have the strength to speak.

Yin Lin went to get some hot water and helped her wipe her face.

Liangqiu Yayin took out a pill from her waist pouch and gave it to her.

cold jade box, who had been bringing along Xiao Ruyue, was ready to make a move. The moment Liangqiu Yayin opened it, the fat insect, the Jade Silkworm Gu, that was growing at the side suddenly popped out.

Presumably, this insect also had intelligence. Knowing that its master's health was not good, it came to sacrifice itself.

Just as the Jade Silkworm Gu was about to dig into Xiao Ruyue's palm, it was caught by her two fingers. Seeing that, Liangqiu Yayin handed the cold jade box over and the Jade Silkworm Gu was returned to him.

"Little guy, it's better if you don't cause any trouble. There's still a great deal of use for you to be left alive."

Liangqiu Yayin rolled her eyes at her.

Female extroversion.

In the big tent, Tang Jingzhi was also there.

Yuwen He walked in with Chong Yang, he did not even have to bother greeting them, and when they sat down, he asked Yuwen Xiao to explain more about the situation.

The general explained the situation to him again. The description was about the same as Tang Jingzhi's pigeon message, but even the general himself felt fear, so he could imagine how terrible the situation was.

However, he also said that these bugs ate everything, even humans. A few days ago, there were soldiers that mistakenly entered the forest, but they could only watch helplessly as that soldier was attacked by these bugs.

The two soldiers, who had just returned, also felt their spirits crumble. The camp was now in a state of panic.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Tang Jingzhi again, and said: "Mr. Tang has always been paying attention to those strange bugs, and the one who knows the most about them is none other than Mr. Tang."

Tang Jingzhi did not decline and explained the details in detail. However, the medical knowledge was omitted from the book, and no one would be able to understand it even if it was explained in detail.

The thing that could be determined for certain now was that those bugs were not ordinary bugs. Instead, they were Gu worms that had been meticulously raised by someone. The Gu worms ate almost everything, and their life force was also extremely strong. They were not afraid of swords and sabers, they could even split into two after hacking, and reproduce extremely quickly.

It had only been a short period of time since the Gu worm was found, and the forest had almost been devoured. If things continued like this, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Yuwen He muttered to himself for a moment, then asked Tang Jingzhi: "You couldn't find where the Gu came from either?"

"I'm not good at this. I might need her." Tang Jingzhi said.

It went without saying who the "she" in his words was.

After the discussion in the big tent ended, the generals left. In the end, even Yang Junda and Tang Jingzhi left.

Only Yuwen He and Yuwen He remained.

"Brother, I think it's time to tell you the truth."

The Great General did not call him royal brother, nor did he call him brother. Instead, he called him "brother" intimately.

"If you have something to say, just say it."

"In the past, she had told me a secret. It's related to the late emperor and the second prince. I have kept this matter in my heart for many years and have never dared to leak a single word of it, but you are the ruler of a nation in Da Xia. I feel that you have the right and the need to know. "

Yuwen Xiao spread out the bedding on his bed and then paused, he observed Yuwen He's expression and asked: "You, aren't you curious at all?"

"You haven't said anything yet, what is I curious about?" Yuwen He said casually.

The general choked on his brother's blood and almost swallowed it.

"Empress Dowager said that when Emperor Xian first entered the great treasure, he was once addicted to the art of immortality. He wanted to refine pills and medicine, and wanted to live for ten thousand years. The late emperor's second prince, Yuwen Jue, was originally his most beloved prince, so he personally tried out the medicine concocted by Fang Shi for the late emperor. Emperor Xian called him a rover, and his whereabouts were unknown after so many years. "

"I know all that."

The Great General opened his eyes wide, "How could it be possible that Empress Dowager said that?"

Yuwen He shook his head and muttered to himself: "Empress Dowager also said that this is a secret, and that there must be someone who knows about it. "Who would've thought …"
