The candle flickered all night.
When the east is white, the candle burns out.
Unknowingly, the sun had already risen.
It was unknown when Xiao Ruyue fell asleep, but the moment she opened her eyes, she was met with a pair of eyes that were as black as jade.
Her eyes were full of smiles, so gentle that it would make people want to indulge for a long time.
"Are you feeling better?"
Yuwen He carefully stood up, afraid that he would bump into her.
Xiao Ruyue responded softly as he got off the bed.
The medicine jar on the table was already cold, he took a glance at it, then turned to look at Xiao Ruyue, who laughed: "Tang Jingzhi came over last night."
"Yes."
Yuwen He placed the medicine jar at the door and called for people to bring hot water and change clothes. He helped Xiao Ruyue change the medicine and clean her body.
After finishing everything, an hour had passed.
Yin Lin brought the breakfast in, and seeing that Xiao Ruyue had woken up, she immediately broke into a smile, and called out sweetly: "Empress, you have awoken!"
"That's right. Long time no see."
Xiao Ruyue replied happily, "The time I spent in the secret tunnel seemed to be as long as half my life. Seeing Yin Lin again, really feels like a lifetime ago. "
Yin Lin was startled, and subconsciously looked towards Yuwen He.
Yuwen He's face did not have any expression, his expression was indifferent, and Yin Lin heaved a sigh of relief.
Seeing the interaction between their master and servant, Xiao Ruyue could not help but laugh: "Why are you afraid of him?
Yin Lin was very guilty, she silently put down the breakfast and left.
However, the so-called breakfast was actually just a pot of plain porridge with some similarly tasteless side dishes.
Xiao Ruyue looked at all these things and her throat filled with acid. She resisted and shrunk his neck, "Can I not eat this thing?"
"What do you think?" It was rare for a certain Lord to show a smirk on his face.
The empress was suddenly terrified.
Yuwen He carefully carried her and sat her up. Under Xiao Ruyue's miserable and pitiful gaze, he fed her two bowls of porridge.
The empress's mouth was about to start watering, but she didn't resist.
She reluctantly finished her porridge, but still couldn't help but complain, "Can I apply for something good to eat?"
A certain lord said expressionlessly with a disdainful expression, "It's good that there's rice porridge here. If you continue to be picky, you won't get anything to eat."
The empress was terrified.
Yuwen He helped her lie down. After changing her clothes, he called Yin Lin in to serve him and then left.
Before he left, he had said, "Yin Lin, you are not allowed to give your Empress any random food. Besides water, you are not allowed to eat anything else."
"Yes sir!" Yin Lin replied loudly.
The glimmer of hope in Xiao Ruyue's eyes was instantly killed.
Waiting until Yuwen He walked far away, Xiao Ruyue slammed the bed and shouted: "There's no justice!"
Hearing this, Yin Lin burst out laughing. Xiao Ruyue glared at her in anger, but Yin Lin maintained her composure, "Empress, don't play anymore. If Her Majesty hears about it, it'll be troublesome. "
Xiao Ruyue shut her mouth in embarrassment.
Beat the snake and beat it seven inches.
That's about it.
A short while later.
Xiao Ruyue called out to Yin Lin: "Help me up."
Yin Lin did not understand and went up to help her up. She could not help but ask: "What is the Empress doing if she does not rest up?"
"I've just eaten my fill, so I can't bear lying down." She said indifferently, she did not seem to see the commotion from just now, her gaze swept across the dressing table, and said: "Yin Lin, help me bring cold jade box over."
Yin Lin walked a few steps forward and used both hands to send cold jade box over.
The cold jade box in Xiao Ruyue's hands did not have any movements, the fat insects inside seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep again.
Xiao Ruyue thought for a bit, then asked her to put cold jade box back, and sat properly, "Yin Lin, tell me what happened in the past two days."
Yin Lin hesitated for a moment and found it difficult to reply, "Empress …."
"Yuwen He won't say?" Xiao Ruyue saw through it with one glance.
She laughed and said: "It's been a while since I last saw General Shen. Ever since General Shen was borrowed by Yuwen He, I often felt that General Shen was actually Yuwen He's escort guard. "
Yin Lin was speechless for a moment, "…"
After a while, she said, "Esteemed Empress, that is not what you say. After all, General Shen is … for you."
However, as soon as she said that, she felt something was wrong and quickly shut up.
Xiao Ruyue looked at her with interest, "Yin Lin sure knows how to speak up for General Shen. If General Shen knew that you were protecting him like this, he would definitely be very happy. "
Yin Lin's face turned slightly hot, and she turned away uncomfortably, "Empress, what are you saying?"
"I said, since Yuwen He is the one who doesn't want to say it, then it's a big matter." Xiao Ruyue changed the topic.
Only now did Yin Lin realize that she had been teased.
The Empress's move was just to divert her attention, so that she could take the opportunity to speak.
"Did Yuwen He's reinforcements blow up Imperial Advisor's Mansion that day? What's next is for Yuwen Jue to seal up the King's Courtyard like crazy and search for us wantonly."
Yin Lin's face revealed a helpless expression, when she suddenly recalled His Majesty's orders at that time.
"Your Majesty, are you telling the Empress that these matters don't matter?"
A certain person said: "I can't hide it from her. She will know even if I don't tell her."
Thinking about it, Yin Lin did not hide it anymore, and told Xiao Ruyue everything.
Indeed, most of the Imperial Advisor's Mansion had been blown up, leaving behind countless of broken walls and broken walls. Yuwen Jue was so angry that he immediately ordered for the Imperial City to be sealed, not allowing anyone to enter or leave freely. officer army went house to house searching and caught a lot of people. Since the city was under martial law now, the citizens did not dare go out on the streets, afraid that they would be caught in the crossfire.
"Then where are we?" Xiao Ruyue asked again.
This place was clearly not the inn that they were staying at previously. It was also much quieter than the inn. It was likely to be a secluded place with no one around.
What kind of place could it be to avoid officer army's search?
Or it could be said that only under the protection of someone would they be able to avoid officer army's search and arrest.
In other words, who was the person Yuwen He contacted with the signal arrow?
That day, before they set off, Yuwen He had given her the signal arrow and told her that she should not use it unless she had no other choice. And in the Imperial Advisor's Mansion, other than the Herba Phoenixis, there were also the grey-clothed people who suddenly appeared as reinforcements after killing the signal arrow.
She had always felt that something wasn't quite right with the grey-clothed man. Now that she thought about it, those people seemed to have quite a sturdy physique. They seemed more like Tatar people.
Could it be …
A thought suddenly flashed through Xiao Ruyue's mind, and she suddenly grabbed Yin Lin's hand. "The owner of this mansion is Crown Prince Tatar, Hu Le?"
Yin Lin opened her eyes wide in shock.
On the other side of the yard was the living room.
At this time, Yuwen He, Tang Jingzhi, Chong Yang were all present. There was also the General Shen that the empress had called "missing" for many days.
As well as the man who went to the Imperial Advisor's Mansion to fetch them and provided them with shelter, he was also the owner of this courtyard.
"The Imperial Advisor has ordered everyone to go door to door to search for him. He has been in the limelight for the past few days and needs to proceed with caution." The one who spoke was the owner of the small courtyard.
His skin was dark, a healthy, wheat-colored man with thick eyebrows and large eyes. He was clearly a Tatar.
If one looked carefully, they would realize that he looked somewhat similar to Mo Chuo, especially their foreheads.
"That's right, I just went out this morning, and almost got surrounded by those clever officer army s. Luckily, my legs were long and I ran fast." Tang Jingzhi who did not sit down also agreed.
Look at him, he doesn't even look proper. If Miss Ya Yin was here, she would have scolded him until he was bleeding from his head.
Yuwen He cast a sidelong glance at him when he heard him, "When did you get out?"
"I was too bored, so I couldn't resist going out for a walk." Under Yuwen He's scrutinized gaze, the Tang Divine Doctor inexplicably became a little cowardly.
"Don't worry, I'm not following them."
This brat was clearly a lot younger than him, and kept using such a fierce gaze to stare at him. He really deserved a beating!
"If you want to hit me then do it, don't yell in your heart. Do you really want to age me or not?" Yuwen He seemed to have seen through his thoughts, as he said coldly.
Tang Divine Doctor's young and handsome face darkened, "If you keep going on like that, I'll poison you."
"Mr. Tang, my princess will probably mute your poison first." The General Shen that had been silent for a long while spoke out calmly.
Tang Divine Doctor almost suffocated to death with a mouthful of blood.
The man with the wheat colored skin looked at the noise quietly. The people in front of him were all extraordinary and unfathomable.
It was quite a novelty to sit together with them.
He waited for them to finish messing around before saying to Yuwen He, "I wonder how Your Majesty plans to settle this? What about the thing we discussed that day? "
"As promised, you have to lend us a hand. We should keep our promise, but with the current situation, is Crown Prince Hu Le sure that we should stay in the palace?" Yuwen He's tone of voice was light, neither happy nor angry.
Hearing this, the man with the wheat color paused, "I am just worried about my father's body. He has already been in a coma for many days, and the imperial physicians were helpless against him. If we continue to delay him, I fear that it would not be appropriate. "
Hearing that, Yuwen He took a look at Tang Jingzhi, and understood what he meant, he sat down and said, "The sweat is deep inside the palace, the palace is already filled with people from your teacher, if you can't even get close to the crown prince, how can you guarantee that the mountain people can leave safely?"
"Crown Prince should understand this. If there is no foolproof plan, I will not take the risk so easily. Even though I'm a doctor, I won't risk my life to make a joke about it. "
Tang Jingzhi asked solemnly.
Prince Hu Le was speechless for a moment.
After a long while, he finally found his voice.
"Indeed, even Xiao Wang found it hard to get close to Father, but this matter cannot be delayed. Although the power of the Imperial Advisors is enormous, they are not invincible. " As he said this, he paused, "Recently, the Imperial Advisor has been focusing all his energy on searching for you. The palace guards have relaxed quite a bit, and I, Little Wang, took this opportunity to visit you. If I were to pretend to be visiting her, I should be able to bring her into the palace. "
"I'm afraid it'll be hard to get out if you go in." Tang Jingzhi frowned, "This is obviously a strategy to lure the enemy, to catch a turtle in a jar, can't the crown prince see that?"
Yuwen He said, "Actually, that is not necessarily true. "Since he wants to invite me into his trap, this is an opportunity."
The Crown Prince Hu Le was suddenly enlightened, "Your Majesty is saying that we should just go with the flow?"
