Xiao Ruyue was unable to fall asleep no matter what.
She tried to get away quietly, but she was stopped by Yuwen He's hand that was on her waist. Just as she was about to move him away, he opened his eyes!
Yuwen He turned his body and pressed her down, "Can't sleep?"
At least so far.
All of this was natural.
However, when these words came out of Yuwen He's mouth, she inexplicably felt that she owed him.
"You're acting like a wife, complaining to your husband, making him bear everything for you. It's hard, huh?" Yuwen He moved an inch closer to her.
Xiao Ruyue's heart was beating like a drum, she felt nervous from the bottom of her heart when Yuwen He approached her.
"Your Majesty, if you want to know anything, chenqie will tell you the truth." "You're suppressing chenqie, chenqie, I can't even breathe."
In the darkness, Xiao Ruyue could vaguely see Yuwen He's eyebrows rise, and the sky spin and the earth spin all of a sudden.
She was up, he was down.
"If Min Er doesn't say it today, then we don't need to rest. If I don't have the spirit to go tomorrow morning, maybe I won't be able to.
Was this a threat?
Xiao Ruyue was unable to figure out Yuwen He's thoughts, and even more so, was unable to guess his thoughts.
"Your Majesty, can you let go of your concubine first? Let's get up and talk slowly." After pondering for a long time, Xiao Ruyue said cautiously.
Yuwen He released his hand in the next moment.
Xiao Ruyue could not wait to roll to the side, and crawled up on her hands and knees.
Luckily, her surroundings were completely dark and no one saw her actions, so they weren't afraid of her embarrassment.
Xiao Ruyue quickly put on her clothes, borrowed the moonlight to grab the fire piston, and lit up the lamp.
Turning his head, he saw that Yuwen He was already seated upright on the side of the bed.
"Your Majesty, what would you like to hear?" Xiao Ruyue sat down on the side of the table, purposely keeping a distance from him.
Yuwen He smiled slightly and said: "You saw everything that happened at the Wei Wang Manor with your own eyes. Tell me about your trip to the Wei Wang Residence today and your gains. "
Xiao Ruyue hesitated for a moment, then told her everything she had seen and heard from the Wei Wang Manor today. Of course, she automatically dismissed the fact that Yuwen Chenglian was extremely lustful of her, that Yao Ziyan was jealous of her, and that she wanted to visit the Wei Wang Manor again.
The reason why she confessed after hesitating was because, just as Yuwen He had said, even if she did not say it, there would still be people who would say it.
There were some things that it would be better for her to say herself than for others to say.
If she said it, the dimensions would be easier to grasp.
After hearing what she had to say, Yuwen He's face continuously darkened, but he did not make a sound.
He hugged her very tightly.
"Your Majesty, you're hugging too tightly." Xiao Ruyue said as she was hugged so tightly that she could barely breathe.
Yuwen He released her, and looked at her heart with blazing eyes, "Min Er, leave everything to me, no matter what, I will always be by your side."
Perhaps it was because his eyes were too eager, or perhaps it was because his eyes were filled with deep emotions, or perhaps it was because she had been alone for too long, but when she suddenly heard that someone was going to shield her from the wind and rain, her heart trembled.
He was like an old friend whom they had met again and again.
At this moment, Xiao Ruyue had completely fallen.
Yuwen He bent his body and kissed her.
Where the feelings, affectionate embrace, they both fell into bed, water and milk blended.
The warm morning sun shone through the cracks in the windows.
Xiao Ruyue moved her body, only then did she realise that she was trapped by Yuwen He's side.
He put his arms around her and she couldn't move. She tried to struggle, but who knew that with her actions, Yuwen He would wake up.
"Morning." Yuwen He smiled at her sleepily.
Xiao Ruyue realised that she could not open her eyes. His smile was warm and warm, and somehow familiar.
Where did this feeling of deja vu come from?
"Is Min Er admiring our looks?"
Xiao Ruyue rolled her eyes in annoyance, and lightly pushed him a little, "Your Majesty should have already gone to court. If you go too late, chenqie will bear the brunt of the calamity. Your concubine is unwilling. "
Yuwen He laughed strangely, and suddenly pounced towards her. Xiao Ruyue subconsciously wanted to turn away.
"I was playing with you." His laughter came from above, "If we delay the morning assembly, won't it give others another reason to dismiss me?"
Xiao Ruyue secretly clenched her teeth: I've been tricked.
Yuwen He summoned Yin Lin and Fang Weiyong inside, changed his clothes and washed up, without any delay.
When Yuwen He left, all she could hear were his candid laughter.
No, she had to find out.
Yuwen He went up to the court from the front and called Yin Lin in.
Yin Lin was already an elder in the palace. She had entered the palace at the age of twelve, and had served by his side for more than ten years, ever since Yuwen He was a prince.
Thinking about it, all of the changes in Grand Xia began the year she was imprisoned.
What kind of conspiracy was behind this?
"Empress, is there something you want to ask this servant?" Yin Lin looked at Xiao Ruyue for a long time, thinking twice before she finally asked brazenly.
"Your Highness is too kind." Yin Lin had entered the palace early in the morning, and had stayed in the palace for a long time. Even if Yin Lin does not know what the Empress wants to know, she will do her best to find out. "
As expected of the old man of the palace.
"Fine, then I ask you, His Majesty and the Great General are siblings of the same mother, but why is it that the Empress Dowager is more interested in the Great General to inherit the throne and not to see His Majesty?"
"This servant truly does not know about this. This servant knows very well that His Majesty and the Great General's mother were born poor and were loathed by the Emperor's father, the Immortal Emperor Qi. His Majesty and the Great General were not allowed to love each other for a long time.
Xiao Ruyue had investigated this matter intentionally.
Yuwen He, Yuwen Xiao's mother, Lady Wang, was originally a servant girl from the Qi King's residence at that time, and because of his exceptional appearance, he was chosen as the concubine by the Qi King. After the birth of the Yuwen He brothers, Lady Wang had always been sickly, and after that, the Qi King also did not visit them, as if he had forgotten about the three of them.
Until that year ten years ago, when Qiu Shou was still hanging in the wooden shed in the Wei Wang Manor. It was better to die than to live.
In the Autumn Hunt, Yuwen He's performance was extraordinary, making the late emperor look at him in a new light. Only then did the Qi King pay special attention to them. But unfortunately, Lady Wang had been bedridden for many years, and soon passed away, unable to enjoy wealth and prosperity.
The two brothers Yuwen He and Yuwen He grew up in poverty, but were born with dignified appearances, optimistic and progressive. They were very favored by the late emperor, and after that, they studied in front of the late emperor and were gradually entrusted with important tasks.
Yuwen Xiao who yearned for the battlefield became a great general, while Yuwen He inherited the throne, becoming the ruler of a nation.
But strangely, there was no mention of the Empress in the rumors, who was the present Empress Dowager. There was also no mention of Yuwen He and his descendants, so why was the Empress Dowager against him?
"Empress, although this servant was unable to answer the question you asked, there is one matter that has been on my mind for a long time. I have always wanted to clarify it for you." "May I ask for your permission, Empress?" Yin Lin said as he knelt down.
What could cause Yin Lin to be so abnormal?
Xiao Ruyue suspected in her heart, "If that's the case, then there's no need to say anymore."
"No, it concerns His Majesty, but it is not an immoral act. Yin Lin will be telling you about this matter ever since the day you entered the palace. "
Xiao Ruyue frowned upon hearing this.
"Empress, do you know why these emperors of the imperial harem treat you so leniently?"
Xiao Ruyue shook her head and did not say a word.
He thought to himself: Empress Dowager doesn't like Yuwen He to be the emperor, and more so, doesn't like her, the princess who helped Yuwen He consolidate his throne, and promoted the alliance of the two nations. Isn't this common knowledge?
Yin Lin seemed to have seen through her thoughts, she shook her head and said: "Empress, it's not like that. Empress Dowager did this not only because you are a princess of East Mausoleum. "
With her words, Xiao Ruyue looked at her curiously.
Yin Lin indicated for her to listen closely, and Xiao Ruyue immediately went forward.
"Aside from you, Your Majesty has never been fortunate enough to have a concubine in the harem. Including the Imperial Consort Ye. "
Xiao Ruyue's face changed, "Yin Lin, you can't say those words casually."
"This is absolutely true. Why is Yin Lin deceiving you? " Yin Lin panicked.
"The several talents, beauties, and Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie s that can be counted on ten fingers in the harem were all arranged by the Empress Dowager. Her Majesty never touched it. They are still a virgin. "
Xiao Ruyue was shocked, her shock could not be imagined.
Yin Lin continued, "In the past, there were more than just these concubines. However, since His Majesty never summoned any of his concubines to sleep with him, the Empress Dowager had forced all of the concubines to leave their homes. These few people were chosen by her personally from the noble family of the noble official. However, the king had never touched it either. "In the past, there had never been a drop of red on the handkerchief."
"At that time, His Majesty took the initiative to propose marriage to the Emperor of East Mausoleum. And that Tatar Princess Imperial Consort Ye did it because of the arrangements made by the Empress Dowager. "
