"Yeah, I know you love me." Yuwen He took it seriously.

Xiao Ruyue found it funny. How could she have such a shameless emperor in her life?

Fine.

As for him, he had no other name. No matter what, he was still her husband.

"Elder Sister Xiao can be at ease. Before I finish what I need to do, I will not let anything go wrong with myself. This kind of skin injury is nothing. "

Was he still comforting her?

Xiao Ruyue was both angry and amused, "You go lie down, I'll apply the medicine on you."

"Understood." Yuwen He's doggy legs could not do it as he obediently lied down on the bed, exposing his back.

When the Wang Shangshu returned, he told the Madam that he had to pack up his things. He also had to pack up all his things, especially the books on water treatment in the study room.

Mrs. Wang asked him, "Are you really going to Huai River? When are we leaving? "

"In half a month." Wang Shangshu thought about it seriously.

Madam, "…"

"We'll leave after half a month. Why are you packing your bags now?"

Wang Shangshu walked into his room, took off his official's hat, placed it on the table, then took off his official's robe and hung it on the screen. He swiftly changed a new pair and said: "Something has happened to the court, His Majesty said it will be in half a month, but I think that His Majesty should prepare himself as soon as possible."

"What happened in the court?" Mrs. Wang took his pants, hung it on the screen, and then handed the uniform over. "Why are you in a bad mood today?"

Wang Shangshu was about to put on his outer robes, but he paused because of his wife's words, "Isn't there a problem? Something big happened in the imperial court, and the Empress disguised herself as a man and took the examination. Your Majesty pretended not to know whether she was the Minister for Water Department of the Ministry of Industry or if I, the Minister of Industry, had requested for Your Majesty's help. If we were to pursue this matter, no one would be able to escape responsibility."

Halfway through, he realized that he couldn't find a sleeve to put on, and when he turned to look, his wife was staring at him in shock.

"You said that the empress's disguise as a man was broken through?!" Mrs. Wang was in disbelief.

The Wang Shangshu earnestly nodded. "This was what the Empress and His Majesty said to the contrary. However, the Empress was still the head of the imperial palace in the end. Even if the Empress and His Majesty did not reveal it, he could not keep it a secret. "The Empress used sickness as an excuse to take a long vacation and not show up, and later on, the Dragon in the Empress's womb slowly showed up. A court official cannot possibly stay sick all year round and look down on people, or he might as well go work in the Ministry of Industry with a big belly, right?"

The Mrs. Wang was right.

The Wang Shangshu continued to mutter, "The officials in the imperial court are still alright. Although everyone is complaining that the Empress is an official and is unbefitting of the rules and regulations, they are all revering the Emperor. No matter how dissatisfied they are, they can only say it out loud. Empress Dowager has a rather big temper, right? "

As if he had just awoken from a dream, Mrs. Wang said, "I want to make a trip to the palace!"

However, he was pulled back by the Wang Shangshu and reminded, "Since you want to go, then remember to remind our daughter to be extra careful when leaving her alone in the palace. Don't be used by others and be used as a gun by others."

The Mrs. Wang nodded. She instructed the servants to prepare a palanquin, changed into a decent outfit, and entered the palace.

Xiao Ruyue stared at Yuwen He's miserable back, forcing herself to cry as she wiped the ointment on his back.

She had tried to move as lightly as she could, but it was inevitable that she hurt him, and every time she pulled back her hand he consoled her: "It's all right, man. It's not so fragile."

After applying all the medicine, Xiao Ruyue bit his lower lip so hard that it looked bad.

Yuwen He wanted to get up, but she pressed him back down, "Alright, you can lie down first, and don't trouble yourself to wear your clothes, or else I will have to take off your clothes again after applying the medicine." As he spoke, he did not forget to hide the wound.

Hearing that, Yuwen He turned his head to look, and laughed helplessly: "It's not good to be this naked, how about we discuss it?"

Xiao Ruyue took out a clean shirt from the cupboard and put it on him, then went to pack up the clothes on the ground, and let Fang Weiyong come in to take the dirty clothes. He also listed out a prescription, and told Yin Lin to go to the medicine shop to catch all the medicine.

It was the day of the protest: "It's enough to eat Tang Jingzhi's food everyday, can you save on this?"

The empress's face stiffened, angry beyond words. "These are for cooking medicine. Look at your morals." So grown-up and afraid of suffering. "

Yuwen He spread out his hands with an indifferent expression.

After a while, Fang Weiyong brought the brewed medicine over.

It was usually Lu Yi who was in charge of brewing medicine. Now that Lu Yi had been sent to investigate the murder case, the Minister of Imperial Household had no choice but to do all of this. This was the first time Fang Weiyong had ever cared about two pots of medicine, and he was sweating profusely. Even with two more "whiskers" on his face, he didn't know it.

Xiao Ruyue pointed to it out of good intentions, and the Great Inner Manager who had a blank look walked over to the dressing table and took a look, then quickly took out his handkerchief and wiped it.

On the table, there were two bowls of medicine. Yuwen He and Xiao Ruyue each had a bowl, and did not run.

One of them gloated, "This is what we call sharing the woes and suffering."

The empress rolled her eyes.

At the door, a young eunuch came over to report, "Your Majesty, esteemed wangfei, Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang and Mrs. Wang requests an audience."

Yuwen He crawled back onto the bed and lazily said, "As for the harem, the empress will take care of it by herself. Just treat it as me leaving."

After he finished speaking, he even ordered Fang Weiyong to put down the drapes.

Xiao Ruyue laughed without saying a word. After tidying up the mirror, she used some rouge to cover the wounds on her lips before elegantly leaving the room.

When she stepped out, Tang Jingzhi jumped in through the window.

Walking on the walkway to the front hall, Yin Lin reported softly, "Empress, it has been less than two hours since the imperial court dispersed this morning. The news of you disguised yourself as a male staff member of the Ministry of Water Division has already spread and is known to everyone."

As he spoke, he continued, "I don't know if it's because those adults were unwilling to let the Empress be the official, or if it was because those High Scholars were jealous of the Empress. Mrs. Wang entering the palace at this time is most likely related to this matter as well. "

"In the end, good things never go out and bad things spread far and wide," Xiao Ruyue said as she nodded seriously. "Forget it, since things have already come to this point, we can't stop them even if we wanted to."

Yin Lin didn't know what to say for a while.

The Empress was right. However, he could not allow these people to slander the Empress.

She didn't dare to say such obscene words to the Empress, afraid that the Empress would get angry if she heard them. If she became angry, then things would be extremely bad.

Even if they were allowed to speak like this, it was still not an option. Those difficult to listen to would sooner or later reach the Empress' ears.

She was only worried that the Mrs. Wang would be kind and do something bad to bring news that she should not have been brought into the palace.

"Chenqie/chenniang kowtows the empress." Seeing Xiao Ruyue coming over, the mother and daughter pair from Mrs. Wang and Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie saluted together.

Xiao Ruyue slowly sat down, "Go ahead, I'll give you a seat."

The maid served the tea and left. The rest of the servants who had nothing to do with him had all left. Other than Xiao Ruyue and the other two, there was only Yin Lin who served them.

"Empress, your subject's wife heard from that person in my family that Empress has already spoken of her matter at the morning assembly." The people of the city are spreading word now. " Mrs. Wang paused as she spoke, she looked at Xiao Ruyue uncertainly, "Empress Dowager, she is very old."

Xiao Ruyue smiled faintly, "Do you think I look like I've been punished?"

Only then did Mrs. Wang focus her gaze on her. The empress was full of spirit, and her complexion looked good. She didn't look like someone who had been punished by the Empress Dowager.

However, everyone knew the temperament of Empress Dowager. If she were to put this disguise as a man in normal times, she would just close her eyes and pass with a single glance.

But now, the empress had disguised herself as a male examiner, and even the ones sweeping the floor and serving tea at the Ministry of Work were all men. As the mother of a nation, it was absolutely unjustifiable for her to do such a thing, in the eyes of the extremely courteous Empress Dowager.

"Mrs. Wang, don't worry. It must be getting noisy outside the palace right now. " "Yin Lin doesn't dare to tell me that she's hiding it, but Mrs. Wang has already dragged Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie over to the Phoenix Palace to invite him over. The words outside must not be very nice."

Yin Lin was secretly shocked, in the end, she was still unable to hide such intelligent thoughts from the Empress.

Mrs. Wang was also stunned, she did not know what to say for a moment about what this "subject's wife" wanted to say.

She'd only rushed to the palace because she was worried about the esteemed empress, but she'd forgotten to consider this. She'd really been too thoughtless to fail at such matters.

Mrs. Wang looked at Yin Lin apologetically and sighed.

But Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie was actually pulled here by her mother. In the past few days, she had been busy handling the palace's Mid-Autumn Festival, so she didn't have the time to worry about too many things. On the way here, she just heard about it.

Who would have thought that a woman like the empress would have such guts!

However, when she thought about it again, only a woman like the Empress would dare to act in such an unconventional manner, ignoring the mundane world.

If it was her, she definitely wouldn't dare to do so.

"Empress, you are truly worthy of respect." Wang Yingyue could not help but blurt out what she was thinking.

Once she said that, Xiao Ruyue immediately laughed, "Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang is indeed a reckless woman."

Mrs. Wang looked at Xiao Ruyue in shock, then turned to look at Wang Yingyue. She had always been obedient and obedient in accordance to her daughter's orders. But just now, this sentence …

She was about to have a whole new level of respect for him.

Xiao Ruyue drank her saliva, and laughed as she sighed, "This palace ban has actually restricted Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie Wang. If we can do it in a place so far away from the martial arts world, it would be a great thing in life. "

What she said was the truth, but Mrs. Wang's and Wang Luzhou-yuang-yuan-yuan-jie's expressions immediately changed!
