"How's the smell of the Gu worm, and how did you deal with it?" Yuwen He turned and look at Yuwen Xiao who was beside him.

Yuwen Xiao nodded his head and said, "Miss Liangqiu has specially studied the poison aura and found a prescription to use as a temporary response. Every evening when the sun sets and the wind blows, the plants in the city will be lit up to steam and dilute the effects of the poison gas. "

Then he paused and continued, "Regarding the placement of the people in the city, I have already given the order. If we don't have a proper solution within the next few days, we can temporarily move the people to the neighboring towns to take refuge. I said hello to the local officials. "

After Yuwen He heard this, he made a sound of acknowledgement. He instructed Fang Weiyong, who had followed along, "Go and get our seal letter and post it on the Emperor Board. Tell the magistrate to take good care of the commoners who were moved out of the Yanzhou City."

Fang Weiyong quickly replied: "Yes!"

Yuwen Xiao deeply furrowed his brows because of this.

How could his words make him feel that the matter of the Gu worms outside the city was so troublesome that he wanted to live and die with the city?

Thinking about it, Yuwen Xiao's heart could not help but tremble.

, who was so arrogant that he could do anything, couldn't it?

On the other side.

Although Xiao Ruyue went back to her room, she did not rest immediately. Instead, she sent Yin Lin to find out more about Qing Qing.

She had always cared about Qing Qing's safety.

Ever since she knew that Thirteen had done something to her, she had always wanted to meet Qing Qing. However, because of all the things that had happened, she had almost made a trip to the gates of hell.

Maybe it's just the way things are.

Or maybe it was because good things happened many times.

He would always be able to see people when he wanted to meet them.

Xiao Ruyue sighed, to be honest, her concern for Qing Qing was not something she could pretend to be a savior in the hearts of everyone, but it was just because Qing Qing was an old friend and a child worthy of being pitied.

Moreover, she hoped that Thirteen died personally from her own mouth.

This kind of thing, she didn't need to use someone else's mouth to explain.

With the lesson from last time, Yin Lin refused to move too far away even if she was beaten to death. She only went to the door and called for a servant, telling her to find someone to explain the situation.

The inn was filled with their own people, the guards and servants were all Yuwen He's own people, only a team of guards at the entrance who were sent over from the military temporarily. After what happened to Thirteen, he was even more cautious. He didn't allow anyone to even take a step into the building. On the way back, he made the arrangements.

Xiao Ruyue knew all of this.

After a while, a woman's voice could be heard greeting him at the door.

Xiao Ruyue had just helped her wash her face and feet, it was just in time.

Unexpectedly, the person who came in was Autumn Word.

"Qiuyin pays his respects to the Empress."

Autumn Word was more or less like someone who had entered Yin Lin's life. When she saw Xiao Ruyue, she first paid her respects to him and when Xiao Ruyue allowed her to get up, she greeted him and called him Big Sister Yin Lin.

She must have returned after Qing Qing was injured.

Xiao Ruyue did not dawdle and directly asked the main topic, "How is Qing Qing's situation?"

Qiu Ci paused and shook her head.

Only after a while did he say, "Qingqing's condition isn't very good. At that time when Thirteen attacked too heavily, Qingqing injured her internal organs. We rushed back from the Azure Province overnight, and Miss Liangqiu said that it was a miracle she could survive. "

"What about now?"

"He's still unconscious." Yin Lin said.

From the looks of it, she already knew about it on the way?

Another message from the pigeon.

In other words, Yuwen He had long since known of this.

"Empress, His Majesty told you that he didn't want you to be bothered by these matters. "After all, your body …" Yin Lin wanted to say something but hesitated.

Now that the empress was pregnant and had been in danger time and time again, if not for the fact that she was immune to poisons, the child and the empress had already lost their lives several times.

All of them made one's heart ache with anxiety.

"I know," Xiao Ruyue nodded his head. Yuwen He knew her temper and knew that if she knew of Qing Qing's condition, she would definitely be worried about him.

In his heart, he was probably thinking that if he could keep it a secret for one more day, then he would keep it a secret for another day.

Like a fool.

She wasn't a child anymore, but he was afraid that she wouldn't be able to take care of him, that she would treat him badly.

Was he going to make her a three-year-old child?

Thinking about it, Xiao Ruyue could not help but find it funny, "It's okay, I'll find out when I get back."

Qiuyin gave a start, not knowing why the empress was smiling this way.

Xiao Ruyue touched his own face, meeting Qiu Yin's worried gaze, the smile on his face vanished, "Qiu Yin, after Sister Ya Yin saw Qing Qing, what did you say?"

Qiuyin shook her head, "Miss Liangqiu said she needs to rest and take good care of her."

Xiao Ruyue considered her words and thought that it would be better if she went and ask Big Sister Ya Yin about it.

Qiu Yin seemed to hesitate, and then said, "Empress, the situation of the Gu worms outside the city is already very grim. With the abilities of Sir and Miss Liangqiu, is there no way to resolve it?"

Xiao Ruyue was startled.

Yin Lin said in a stern voice: "Autumn words!" There was no lack of blame in his words.

Did she not know what the Empress's current condition was?

The Empress was a kind-hearted person. If this matter could be resolved, how could she just ignore it?

QiuCi lowered her head in guilt, then slowly kneeled down. "Empress, it was QiuCi that spoke so much. The Autumn Ci deserves to die! "

As he spoke, he slapped himself in the face.

'Pa! 'A loud sound was heard.

"Autumn Word, what are you doing?"

was a little surprised by her actions.

Autumn Word slowly raised her head, her face full of tears. "Empress, it is true that Autumn Word should not speak too much, but seeing the Gu worm approach step by step, the people of the city had no choice but to abandon their homes and flee. "When I was young, I was left behind by my parents because my hometown was in a flood. I was afraid that those girls would be treated like a burden when they ran away from home like me."

Is that so?

Xiao Ruyue was stumped.

She was born in the Xiao family, and her parents had never looked down on her because she was their daughter. Her brothers took great care of her, and her parents and grandmother treated her as their precious daughter.

But this world was full of families who valued their sons and daughters more than their daughters. They could sell their daughters in order to marry their sons and wives; they could sell their daughters in order to help their sons study; they could also sell their daughters in order to support their families. Even when a disaster was about to befall them, they would leave their lives behind just because their daughter was a "money loser".

Qiu Yin kneeled on the ground and said solemnly and heavily, "They only say that their son can inherit the family business from the clan, but if there is no woman in this world, where would their descendants come from?"

Xiao Ruyue could not help but laugh, "That's right, if men can pass on their generations, why would Nuwa pinch both men and women at the hands of a man?"

She didn't know how to continue with this smile.

He stared at her blankly. For a moment, his mind was completely blank.

Yin Lin, who was beside Xiao Ruyue, let out a heavy cough and reminded him: "Empress, it's time for you to change your medicine. If His Majesty comes back and sees you dressed up like this, without even changing his clothes or his medicine, I'm afraid Yin Lin will not be able to take the consequences. "

His tone was a little harsh.

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

This was the first time Yin Lin dared to speak to her like this ever since the incident at Tatar.

Qiu Yin was a little confused, and subconsciously looked at Xiao Ruyue. Yin Lin frowned, and spoke fiercely with dissatisfaction, "The Empress's back is full of wounds, and her left arm also has a very deep wound. You're still talking to the Empress for a long time. Do you really think the Empress is made of iron? "

She then started to take off Xiao Ruyue's clothes, "Empress, you're serious. If you're a pregnant woman, you should take care of your mother, why are you worrying about the things that men worry about?"

Xiao Ruyue did not dare to move her body too much, and it was only now that Qiuyin realised that the Empress was not in a good condition.

So the Empress had been sitting there, unmoving, because she could not move?

Autumn Word went to close the door, and help bring water over. Together with Yin Lin, they helped Xiao Ruyue to straighten his clothes and change his clothes.

The wound on Xiao Ruyue's back had not completely healed, it was simply shocking.

There was also a bone deep wound on his left arm. Although it was mostly healed, it was still very frightening.

How in the world did he manage to travel all the way back from the King's Court of Tartar, day and night?

After coming out from Xiao Ruyue's place, Autumn Word was in a trance.

Just what sort of faith had made His Majesty and the Empress make such a decision?

Originally, they could all live in the distant capital city and enjoy wealth and prosperity.

After following His Majesty for so many years, she had more or less understood the situation, but she had never thought that the two of them would have the same heart and mind.

Even more so, they didn't expect them to be able to do this.

The more Wang Qi saw her walking in a trance, he called out to her. Autumn Word suddenly raised her head and smiled at him. Her bright and moving face, coupled with that smile, became increasingly beautiful and captivating.

"Wang Qiyue, I seem to understand a little what Ya Nuo meant when she told me before her death."

Ya Nuo?

Young Master Wang paused for a moment, then realized that the person she was talking about, was the person she himself had mentioned, a bitter and unfortunate person.

"What did she say?"

"She said that the Empress is very different."

"Different?" Young Master Wang was still confused.

No one knew anything about it.

But he quickly understood something, and said with a smile, "The Empress is indeed different from other people. From ancient times until now, only the empress would dare to use her identity as the empress to pass the imperial examinations, and sneak into the Ministry of Work to be on duty.

However, Autumn Ci shook her head, "Not only that. Not just that."

Just earlier, when she and Big Sister Yin Lin were changing the medicine for the Empress, the Empress suddenly said to her, "I do not believe that there is absolute justice in this world. However, in this world, natural and man-made disasters never ceased, and there was always someone who wanted to do something. Didn't you say you didn't want more girls to be abandoned in the war like you? "

As she spoke, she paused, and her lips revealed a beautiful smile. "That is for the peace and quiet of the world. That is the love without boundaries."
