Yao Ziyan's face turned pale white.

"Yao Ziyan, don't forget how you killed Xiao Ruyue back then. If not for the fact that your best sister had instigated their relationship and created so many pretenses for Yuwen Chenglian to see, he would not have believed that his wangfei and the other men had coexisted to make him into a cuckold. If not for the fact that you had repeatedly carried Xiao Ruyue to seduce Yuwen Chenglian, Xiao Ruyue would not have ended up like a grave being thrown into the cemetery after her death. "

"Please forgive me uncle-master, this disciple will definitely not forget the great saving grace you and Master had given me! Your disciple knows that I was wrong. Your disciple does not do things well, so please give me another chance. I will do my best! " Yao Ziyan said as she heavily kowtowed.

Everyone knew that Prince Wei had died because of his imperial concubine, and had spent a great deal of money for his imperial concubine. His food and clothing were of the upper class, so many people were jealous.

But no one knew how many women Yuwen Chenglian had secretly raised.

She was clearer than anyone else.

How could she not know?!

Situ Min, if you want to blame something, you can only blame yourself for coming to the wrong place. If you had honestly found someone in your East Mausoleum to marry to, why would you want to run to Da Xia Empire with your own princess?

If you want to get revenge, go to the people of Red Sleeve House. Oh right, take revenge on this old monster, Ye Haitang, and blame it all on her.

Who told you to be unlucky and marry someone else? Yet, you just had to marry the same man as her.

Ye Haitang, the old woman, had never failed to get ahold of a man she had her eyes on.

One would block the path of death, Buddha block the path of death.

You're blocking her way, you deserve to die!

When Yao Ziyan left the Cigarette Water Pavilion, nothing happened. The red mark on her forehead from the kowtow seemed to have disappeared a lot.

She got into the carriage and left as usual.

During dinner time, Yuwen He came to invite the Phoenix Palace again.

During the meal, he joked with Xiao Ruyue as if nothing serious had happened before. It was as if nothing serious had happened in the afternoon.

Xiao Ruyue replied to him occasionally, she did not talk much, and left after eating.

She left with her front foot, Yuwen He left with her back foot.

It was the same every day for the next few days.

Rumors had it in the palace that His Majesty and the empress were at odds with each other over some matter. The empress was probably going to lose her favor.

Until the fifth day. The Lushua Hall suddenly spread the news that the Empress Dowager had fainted for no reason. Taiyuan Hospital went to visit a few imperial physicians. They all said that the Empress Dowager was only invaded by Feng Xie, and that there were many diseases during the late spring. With Empress Dowager being old, it would not be easy to catch a cold.

Xiao Ruyue had no reason to steal her act, she instructed the imperial physicians and palace maids to take care of the Empress Dowager, and then left.

Once he returned to the Phoenix Invitation Palace, Xiao Ruyue instructed Yin Lin: "You have ordered that I will be going to the Manlu Temple tomorrow to pray for the Empress Dowager's incense and blessings."

"Tomorrow?!" Yin Lin was shocked, this decision came too suddenly.

Entering the palace to pray for blessings was not like the time he went to the Wei Mansion. The Wei Mansion was closer to the palace. Besides, there were guards at the mansion, so it shouldn't be a problem.

The Manlu Temple was on the mountain outside the city, so it would take a long time for him to come back. Even if he left tomorrow morning, he would still need to be back at noon, and he would need to be back at least the day after tomorrow.

The most troublesome thing was that the Manlu Temple was burning with incense and many pilgrims. According to the rule of the royal family that needed to be on guard against, it was already too late! How could the empress guarantee the safety of the temple if they didn't clear up the place and leave too many people to spend the night in it?

"Esteemed Empress, Yin Lin implores you to reconsider your decision." Yin Lin said as she knelt down.

Xiao Ruyue did not speak.

Lu Yi also knelt down, "Empress, just listen to Sister Yin Lin. Although the great buddha of Manlu Temple was indeed intelligent, if she were to burn the incense tomorrow, it would be too late to prepare for it. For your safety, can you delay it for two days? "

"A delay of two days?" Xiao Ruyue finally opened her mouth and with her watery eyes, she stared at Lu Yi, as if asking for her opinion.

"Yes, Empress. Furthermore, Empress Dowager's condition is still unstable, who knows, maybe tomorrow she will eat so many medicine and wake up? " It was obvious that Lu Yi's words lacked confidence.

But when Xiao Ruyue heard this, he laughed, "That makes a lot of sense. Then let's wait first. Maybe after two days, Empress Dowager will be fine on her own. "

If he said he would go, then he would go. If he said he wouldn't go, then he wouldn't go.

Yin Lin suddenly could not understand the Queen anymore. Shouldn't the empress be a very calm woman? Why did she suddenly become so impulsive?

He had a nagging feeling that some things had changed recently. Something didn't seem right, but she couldn't tell what.

Shen Liang returned from the outside and handed over a small booklet to Xiao Ruyue. After Xiao Ruyue read it, her face did not reveal any expression.

These vile characters who had been close with their father but who had avoided the Xiao family after his father's death were now very close with the Wei Wang family and had made great progress.

They were all fawning on him, fawning on him and fawning on him. Stepping on someone else to gain the upper hand was their forte.

Yuwen Chenglian managed so many chess games, how could he miss the effort displayed by these chess pieces?

After Yuwen He left the imperial palace, he invited the Phoenix Palace to ask about the situation of the Empress Dowager and went there.

Empress Dowager got sick for more than half a month. On the third day of her coma, she woke up and continued to pass out for a day after. royal doctors was helpless to do anything.

The's phoenix body is out of harmony with that of the Evil Demon. As the Queen Mother, if I can personally go to the Manlu Temple to pray for the Empress Dowager's blessings, I will definitely be able to relieve the evil spirits in the Empress Dowager and help turn the situation around for the Empress Dowager into a better place. The Empress is a noble mother, and if I were to go to the Manlu Temple to pray for the's blessings, then I will definitely be able to save the Empress Dowager from this calamity.

After the court dispersed, Yuwen He ordered for the rest of the palace to not discuss the matter, but the letter was clearly aimed at Xiao Ruyue. Even if he didn't want her to know, she would.

The young palace maid Cai Yin had walked outside once, and heard everything she should not have. She returned and reported everything she knew.

The little girl was also quick with her mouth, she didn't even open the door. She had already said what she shouldn't have said.

"Enough, stop staring at her. If you glare at her again, she'll be finished. " Xiao Ruyue shot her a glance and comforted her, "Don't blame your Big Sister Yin Lin. You are still young and insensible. The things that you said just now, is most likely what His Majesty didn't want me to know. Your mouth was about to tell me, and your Big Sister Yin Lin was the one who glared at you.

Cai Yin's eyes immediately reddened, her tears almost falling out.

Xiao Ruyue instructed Lu Yi: "Lu Yi, bring her down. When you are serving in the Palace of the Phoenix, you cannot let your tears fall so easily. "

When Cai Yin left, his eyes were filled with tears. Lu Yi wasn't any better off. Her eyes were also red, but she must have been in a hurry.

"Empress, you …" When Lu Yi and Cai Yin left, she could not wait to speak. Unfortunately, before she could finish, she was interrupted by Xiao Ruyue indifferently.

"Since I have already made up my mind, you no longer need to persuade me. Go immediately to the royal study and inform His Majesty that I have invited him to invite the Phoenix Palace. If His Majesty doesn't want to come, then so be it. You can come back by yourself. "

Yin Lin did not know what to advise her, and could only obey.

After that, the others all left, leaving only Xiao Ruyue and Shen Liang.

"General Shen, you also think that I was acting on impulse?" Xiao Ruyue drank his tea and looked at Shen Liang.

Shen Liang shook his head and said, "These past few days, I have been investigating many things, and now I understand Princess's painstaking efforts." The situation in Western Xia is very complicated. The various powers occupy a position and each side has their own backing, which is not as simple as it seems on the surface. Since you have so decided, you must have your own opinions. "

"Aren't you afraid that if I stay in the Western Xia for too long, I would forget my homeland and do something that would let down the Grand Mausoleum?"

"Didn't His Majesty allow you to marry into the Western Xia Dynasty in the hope that the two countries would not fall into war and allow the citizens to live and work in peace?" As long as the soldiers stopped fighting, the people would live a good life. Nothing can be said of a princess. "

Furthermore, the Princess was only praying for the sake of her in-laws' grandma after all. It couldn't be said that she was doing the right thing for her homeland.

However, Shen Liang didn't say those last few words. When they reached his mouth, he swallowed them back into his heart.

At first, Xiao Ruyue was stunned, but she could not help but laugh.

"General Shen, you are so straightforward and adorable."

Shen Liang's bronze colored skin flushed faintly, and an awkward expression appeared on his face.
