Three days later, the Palace of the Phoenix was finally lifted.
The first guest he welcomed was not Yuwen He.
The ladies had not even had time to retreat.
There must be thousands of questions in Ye Haitang's heart right now, such as how she was alright, who the person who cured her was, etc.
If she was really the mastermind behind the poison, then he would feel especially indignant towards His Majesty for not showing mercy to the glazed pavilion in the past few days.
"Since it's much better, why does it still look so unsightly?" Empress Dowager frowned, she was not happy with the fact that she was showing it on the surface, so she did not bother to hide it.
Xiao Ruyue laughed, but did not mind.
Unexpectedly, Empress Dowager continued, "In the past few days, you have been sick, so don't hold a grudge that the emperor didn't come to see you. The harem is originally the emperor's harem, so losing you as a queen isn't considered too bad either."
But these words were indeed a bit harsh.
The Empress Dowager didn't even let Xiao Ruyue get up and instead made her kneel like this, completely ignoring the indisposition of the patient's body.
Xiao Ruyue immediately retorted, "Empress Dowager's words really confused chenqie. What do you mean that the empress dowager was originally the emperor? Could it be that Empress Dowager is looking down on Chenqie, the princess of Grand Mausoleum, for dominating the position of Empress of Da Xia? "
These words were aggressive and even though it was sickly, it was majestic and not to be trifled with.
If she did not display an impulsive and domineering attitude, then she would not be the Princess Wuyou that came from East Mausoleum. Although the East Mausoleum was worried about him internally, the might of the tiger was still there. As a princess who came from the East Mausoleum, why should she be afraid of the small Western Xia Empress Dowager?
Don't forget that before she even entered the palace, she was already giving people a hard time.
However, even if there wasn't that day, this Empress Dowager would still not be courteous to her.
With that, she said softly, looking like an innocent little sheep, as she spoke slowly: "Empress Dowager is Your Majesty's grandmother, and was also Chenqie's grandmother. Chenqie should be filial and filial, but your granddaughter-in-law really doesn't understand what you're saying, please enlighten me."
Empress Dowager's expression immediately changed.
"How dare you!" Do you know who you're talking to? "
"Chenqie naturally understands this in her heart." Xiao Ruyue stood up as she spoke.
Under Empress Dowager's look of disbelief that seemed like she was about to kill, she smiled and said: "Royal Grandmother, Granddaughter-in-law Sun has just recovered, her body is too weak, she is unable to kneel for long. You, Old Mo, have to get angry. It's not worth it to be so angry. "
"How dare you!"
"Royal Grandmother, my wife doesn't dare. Granddaughter-in-law clearly understood that you are interested in the matter of the Imperial Consort Ye. But in the end, I am still the empress of this Da Xia Empire, right? According to what the people call it, Imperial Consort Ye is just a side room if you say it's nicer. "
Empress Dowager's face turned green, "How dare you!"
Ye Haitang's expression was extremely wonderful. From her venomous gaze, it seemed as though she wanted to rush up and slap her a few times?
As a imperial concubine, although she wasn't as noble as the empress, it was strange for her to be angry at being called a side room.
Moreover, Ye Haitang is still a princess of Tatar.
"Grandmother, don't get angry, don't get angry. "If you get angry and hurt your body, my granddaughter-in-law can only go get an imperial physician." Xiao Ruyue gracefully sat down with Yin Lin's support.
He had a harmless smile on his face, completely devoid of the domineering attitude from before.
Empress Dowager clenched her teeth in anger, and almost broke the three inch long armor on her little finger.
"You East Mausoleum woman, don't be arrogant!"
"Empress Dowager is wrong, chenqie is the empress of Da Xia Empire, the mother of a nation. As the saying goes, one can marry as much as he or she begs and as little as he or she follows him or her. Since Chenqie is already the Queen of the Monarchs, she is naturally a citizen of the Da Xia Empire. "
This time, Empress Dowager was completely furious, she angrily slapped the table and shrugged, "You woman, you are really presumptuous! Begonia, let's go! "
"This concubine respectfully sends Empress Dowager off." Xiao Ruyue looked at her back as she walked out of the door, and then pulled the string as she shouted loudly.
Empress Dowager's back figure stopped for a moment, then started to tremble. She must be really angry.
Ye Haitang comforted her.
This time, in the eyes of the Empress Dowager, Ye Haitang had completely become a considerate and weak girl, and she had unquestionably become a ferocious woman.
But, so what?
Before long, Empress Dowager and Ye Haitang had already left with their servants.
"This Empress Dowager is really infuriating!" Lu Yi stomped her feet.
"What a relief."
Puff.
"Your emperor's grandmother is really interesting. Where in the world would one find someone who would want their grandson to avoid a wife to pamper his room? Is that woman really that good? "
Liangqiu Yayin walked out from behind him.
She would not appear when outsiders were present, especially when Empress Dowager and Ye Haitang were present.
The corner of Xiao Ruyue's mouth raised slightly, and she laughed: "These Emperor's secret scriptures, are truly not to be trifled with by outsiders."
With her words, Liangqiu Yayin understood what she meant.
Yin Lin ascertained that there was nothing else, and then said: "Empress, this servant will go and report to Your Majesty right now." Then she left.
Lu Yi and Liangqiu Yayin supported Xiao Ruyue back into the palace to let her lie down and rest.
Although the poison on her body had been cleared, her body was still weak. What Xiao Ruyue had said to Empress Dowager just now, was not an excuse for her to be weak.
"Big sister Ya Yin, just now you were looking at the Imperial Consort Ye from the shadows, did you manage to figure out anything?"
Liangqiu Yayin thought for a while, "Mn, I smell a strange fragrance. But for a moment I couldn't tell what it was. However, there were no other clues on the girl. I'm also not sure if she's from Red Sleeve House, and I'm not sure whether or not this thing came from her. "
Xiao Ruyue nodded, "I understand, thank you sister Ya Yin."
Not long after Yin Lin left, Yuwen He came back.
Maybe it was because he was anxious, but his footsteps were a bit fast.
After entering the door, seeing that Xiao Ruyue was lying on the bed resting, the smile on his face immediately dropped, her eyebrows slightly knitted.
"Didn't we agree on it?"
"Sickness comes like a landslide, sickness goes away like silk. How can you just say that you'll be able to recover immediately?" Xiao Ruyue laughed.
Yuwen He sat on the side of her bed anxiously and pulled her hand, "Empress Dowager came by before? You're making things difficult for me? "
Xiao Ruyue glanced at Yin Lin when she heard her.
Yin Lin must have told him everything that had happened on the way here. How was it Empress Dowager making things difficult for her? It was obvious that she had disrespected her elder and offended her elder, Empress Dowager.
Therefore, Xiao Ruyue smiled and shook her head, "Empress Dowager has probably scolded me quite a few times already."
Hearing her words, Yuwen He's lips rose, "It was really lucky to have that Imperial Consort Ye."
Xiao Ruyue could not help but laugh.
Yin Lin and Lu Yi tactfully retreated after the two empress dowager finished their conversation. Liangqiu Yayin was not an untactful person, and followed them out.
At the door, Liangqiu Yayin muttered, "Everyone says that the emperor is heartless, but this emperor is different. Like a husband. "
Lu Yi covered her mouth and laughed. She really couldn't hold it in.
Yin Lin said in a low voice: "If His Majesty was not the emperor, he would be happier."
With that said, Liangqiu Yayin and Lu Yi looked at her: "What do you mean?"
On the other side of the door.
Yuwen He pulled on Xiao Ruyue's hand and was not willing to let go, but Xiao Ruyue was still a little tired.
"Your Majesty's affairs are more important, are you …"
Without waiting for Xiao Ruyue to finish speaking, Yuwen He interrupted him and said, "It's fine, I saw that you slept before I left."
From the looks of it, it really did look like an ordinary couple.
Xiao Ruyue's heart was beating erratically. What was wrong with Yuwen He? His kindness towards her had long since surpassed her understanding of the relationship between a man and a woman. How could a king care so much for a girl simply because she was his empress and his wife?
Even the husband of an ordinary family might not be able to do this to his wife.
But the relationship between her and Yuwen He, had never experienced such storms that could increase one's relationship, right?
However, there was no way to ask these questions.
Xiao Ruyue's body became weak, and quickly fell back into sleep.
In these three days, she had been drinking medicine and vomiting non-stop. Liangqiu Yayin gave her acupuncture and also helped her expel the poison through bathing.
Although it was said to be light for three days, when it came to actual manipulation, it was a hundred times more difficult than expected.
Fortunately, she had survived.
Some words might not have any benefit.
When he heard that Xiao Ruyue's breathing had become even and that she was sleeping peacefully, Yuwen He tucked her in and left the room. He closed the door.
Yin Lin and Lu Yi were waiting at the door. Yuwen He had told them to pay full attention to the empress, and said to go to the imperial study to report the moment there were matters to be reported to them.
The emperor's palms were like mountains and rivers, he governed over tens of thousands of citizens, his government was extremely busy, especially in a situation where the Prime Minister was gravely ill and had no suitable candidate to win favor from him, Yuwen He was extremely busy.
However, the moment he made a move in the Phoenix Palace, no matter how big of a problem he had, he would immediately put it down and rush there.
Just this point was enough to cause the other girls in the imperial harem to go crazy with jealousy.
