C196

This condition was indeed something that he had personally agreed to and had signed and pledged.

Yuwen Chenglian never thought that there would come a day when he would be blocked on a condition that he had agreed to.

He wanted nothing more than to tear that contract apart! He wanted to strangle the person in front of him even more.

However, whether it was strangling the Quicksand Pavilion's pavilion master to death or stealing the contract away, Yuwen Chenglian was unable to do so.

Endure a moment of peace! There would be plenty of time to take care of him in the future.

After recuperating for a good while, Yuwen Chenglian finally managed to calm his mind, and stared at the Flowing Sand Pavilion Master, "So, even if this king and Flowing Sand are sworn to become enemies from now on, will the Pavilion Master still not agree?!" Yuwen Chenglian gritted his teeth.

"That would require Your Highness to be able to finish off 'Quicksand'." The master of the Flowing Sand Pavilion said carelessly.

This was a threat, a blatant threat!

Yuwen Chenglian was extremely furious in his heart, but he could not direct it at the Flowing Sand Pavilion Master.

In the past few years, the development of "Quicksand" had become more and more difficult for him to control. However, he never expected that he would actually dare to look down on others to such an extent!

Alright, just you wait. When This King ascends to the throne, when you lose all value in using it, This King will let you see the pot full of 'Quicksand'. When that happens, I'll see how you can act arrogantly!

Yuwen Chenglian put on the bamboo hat, turned around and left without saying a word, and left with big strides like he had arrived.

Flowing Sand Pavilion Master, hmph, is just a scoundrel who doesn't even dare to show his face. Wasn't it just cowardice that told him not to kill Yuwen?

If we don't help you here, we will. Without you and "Quicksand", This King will not sit still and wait for death!

In recent days, there have been more and more rumors regarding the Lady Doctor Feng and the doctor of the Tatar Empire in the imperial harem.

It was said that the blood of the Lady Doctor Feng was boiling, and the hands of an expert were rejuvenating, pulling the suffering Imperial Consort Ye back from the gates of hell. Even the imperial physicians were helpless against her illness, but when the Lady Doctor Feng came, he had already improved greatly.

This news could not help but spread from the imperial harem, and it gradually spread to the palace as well. There were many rumours that the citizens of the capital had come to report. Currently, there were only a few people in the capital who did not know that the female doctor of the Tatar Empire resided in the palace to treat the Imperial Consort Ye.

However, Ye Haitang had never left the glazed pavilion before. Even the Empress, who had never gone to the glazed pavilion, had not seen the Imperial Consort Ye undergoing treatment.

As long as one thought about it, they would know that there was something fishy going on.

Xiao Ruyue did not care about these rumors, but the rumours in the palace were getting more and more intense.

Lu Yi went out early in the morning, and after seeing Chong Yue, she picked up the lotus flower, then entered the door and muttered, "Those people in the palace, I wonder what their intentions were. He even said that he would send an imperial physician to treat the Imperial Consort Ye's illness, but he didn't even find two powerful people. Which eye did they see that Imperial Physician Li and Imperial Physician Wang were not powerful? "What's more, that woman has such a vicious heart, it's already polite enough that she didn't kill her. Finding an imperial physician to hang her around is already good enough, and she's still being picky about it. What does she think she's made of?"

"Lu Yi, it's not good to speak ill of others behind their backs." A melodious voice that belonged solely to the empress suddenly rang out.

Lu Yi looked towards the direction of the voice in fright. She almost threw the vase she was carrying!

"My … My lady!" When were you here?

"I've always been here. It was you who nagged me from the moment you entered the door." Xiao Ruyue said helplessly, and used the corner of his eye to point at Yin Lin and Qing Qing who were standing on either side of him.

Lu Yi, "…"

After a long while, she finally found her voice, found a suitable place to place the vase and moved closer to Xiao Ruyue, "Empress, Lu Yi was right, too. That Imperial Consort Ye was never a good person to begin with, and that whatever Lady Doctor Feng was, she was filled with demonic Qi. According to many palace maids, even Yu Lin Wei couldn't walk all the way to the Lady Doctor Feng! "If it continues like this for a long period of time, then what's the big deal!"

Lu Yi was imitating how the guards were dumbstruck when they saw Feng Yuting. She had completely lost control of her emotions and had learnt it so lifelike that it was like she was reborn.

Xiao Ruyue was drinking his ginseng soup and almost spat out. She quickly put down the soup cup and covered her mouth with the embroidered cloth to prevent herself from losing control.

Lu Yi was embarrassed.

She didn't know that her esteemed empress had laughed out loud not because she couldn't learn well, but because she learned too much.

"You are right, that woman Feng Yuting is indeed a demon. She practiced bewitching arts and had a body full of bewitching bones, which was specifically used to confuse men. Most men liked beauties, so they would be easily taken away with just a glance from her. As long as it's not someone with a strong will, it's reasonable for her to be captivated. "

Xiao Ruyue elegantly wiped the corner of her mouth, then placed the embroidered cloth with the tea flowers on the table. Looking at the distance, he said lightly: "Lu Yi, you must watch your Chong Yue, otherwise, when he is hooked away by Feng Yuting, you will feel sad."

When Lu Yi heard this, her face collapsed. It looked like he was about to cry.

She, was not as good-looking as the Feng woman, nor did she have that kind of Spirit Demon Qi. What if Chong Yue really ran off with her, wouldn't that mean … …

"I was just reminding you, you don't need to look like your Chong Yue has already been snatched away." Xiao Ruyue sighed, "It's good that you have some confidence in your Chong Yue. He's not someone who anyone can hook up with. "

"Why?" Lu Yi asked in confusion.

The Empress's tone of voice was very reassuring.

Xiao Ruyue gave a sweet smile, "Because just what kind of master do you have, what kind of subordinate do you have? I have faith in his master. "

He was caught off guard.

Lu Yi realized what her own Empress had said and covered her mouth in surprise.

Yin Lin and Qing Qing's reactions were also the same.

Empress, does His Majesty even know that you're accusing His Majesty?!

Xiao Ruyue smiled slightly, she seemed to be saying, Of course I know my husband.

It was very enjoyable to stand at the door of the room and praise the empress.

"If we did not come at this time, we would not have heard of Min Er having such confidence in us." As she spoke, Yuwen He, dressed in a royal blue dragon robe, walked in.

If one were to say that the dark blue dragon robe gave him stability and restraint, then the dark blue dragon robe set off his mysteriousness. At this time, Yuwen He's entire body was releasing a mysterious aura, his face still had a light smile, he did not look like an emperor, but instead like a master who was cultivating in the deep mountains, it was difficult to understand, but he could not help but want to look a few more times, a few more times.

When Xiao Ruyue heard this magnetic voice, she was stunned for a moment before smiling. She stood up to welcome him. "Isn't His Majesty supposed to be in the imperial study now?"

Yuwen He laughed, did not answer, and waved his hand. Yin Lin and the other two left.

Yuwen He then pulled Xiao Ruyue's hand and went back to her seat, and immediately placed her on her lap, "I haven't seen you in two hours, do you miss us?"

Xiao Ruyue laughed, "In the past few days, Lord Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of Work has been arguing with the Minister of Revenue because of the incident at the riverbank during the rainy season, right? Isn't it a bit inappropriate for His Majesty to not step in and take charge of the situation and take the opportunity to slip away? "

"I told them to argue in the royal study first, and only intervened when a quarrel broke out between the two of them. What's the point of facing a bunch of old men? Even if you add all of them together, they wouldn't even compare to a beautiful queen like me. "

Yuwen He spoke carelessly, his long fingers stroking Xiao Ruyue's face as he tried to find the outline of her body. There was a cocoon on his hand, not someone who was an emperor who lived like a prince. This was a mark left behind from his years of practicing martial arts and using weapons.

In the past few days, the cocoon seemed to have thickened.

Yuwen He's palm slashed across Xiao Ruyue's face and she could feel a slight piercing pain. She grabbed his hand and said, "Every day, when I wake up before dawn to practice my sword with Chong Yue and the others, I'm not afraid of getting tired."

"Training in martial arts can strengthen the body. Without a strong body, how can we take care of the people who are eyeing us covetously? How can we protect you and your mother?" Yuwen He did not take his hands out from her hands, but instead intertwined his fingers with hers.

"Madam, have some confidence in your husband. It won't be too long before we're on our guard. "

"Mm, I believe you."

"With your words, I'm satisfied."

Yuwen He smiled from the bottom of his heart and kissed the corner of his mouth. He kissed him lightly, then hugged him tightly.

If they embraced like this, they would be very happy.

Xiao Ruyue's gaze was gentle and there was a smile in her eyes.

As long as they could stay together, such simple happiness would be very good.

Yuwen He had not even stayed in the Phoenix Invitation Palace for an hour when he arrived.

When he arrived, Xiao Ruyue was already close to Yuwen He and almost fell asleep, but he was awoken by the sound of hurried footsteps, and looked at him drowsily.

Fang Weiyong immediately felt the King's murderous gaze towards him.

Your Majesty, I really didn't mean to disturb Esteemed Empress' beautiful dreams.

He swallowed his saliva and pretended to be calm. "Your Majesty, the two officials from the Ministry of Work and the Department of Revenue are already in a heated argument. Even the Minister Qiu of the Military Department is about to overturn the roof of the Imperial study."

"Where's Yue Xiang?" Where's Xiao Jingyu? They aren't going to stop us, and are just looking at us making a ruckus? " Yuwen He pinched the center of his brows, it could be seen that he was indeed quite annoyed.

The reason for their argument today was probably not just because of the dam incident. If it was only because of the embankment, Yuwen He had said before that the Ministry of Revenue would cooperate with the Ministry of Industry's arrangements unconditionally.

Xiao Ruyue had a rough idea of what to do, but she did not say anything to interfere.

Yuwen He looked at her and said, "Those few old men have caused trouble for us again. I'll go take a look first. "

"Your Majesty, the affairs of the nation are more important. If you were to hold up the country just because you were inviting the Phoenix Palace, then those old men of the imperial court would have to scold me again for bringing calamity upon me. " Xiao Ruyue laughed, and used this catchphrase that hadn't been used for a long time.

Yuwen He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Yes yes yes, the empress is right."

Whatever the empress says.
