"Empress, your servant will wait at the door." Yin Lin saw that their nephew was about to speak, so he retreated towards the door.

"Grandma still doesn't know about this, right?" Xiao Ruyue paused, "I wish to personally speak with Grandmother about this matter. For the time being, don't let anything slip. Grandmother, her body has not fully recovered yet, so don't be too anxious. "

Xiao Jingyu nodded.

Naturally, he had considered what his aunt had said, and he understood that there were some things that he could say that he couldn't.

"Little aunt, you should know how important your place is in your great-grandmother's heart. It wasn't easy for her to recognize you as her granddaughter, and you left just like that. Your great-grandmother should feel sad again."

Xiao Ruyue laughed out loud upon hearing this, "Jing Yu, have you ever thought that ten years ago, I would have already been dead? I didn't even dare to live to this day. Now, I am still alive to see you two. Regardless of whether it is you or your father or your Majesty, this is all a gift from the heavens. I am already very satisfied. "

Xiao Jingyu was startled, "Little aunt"

"Ten years ago, you were still young. You don't know how little aunt passed those years, and you don't know how much I hated you. At that time, I wanted to tear apart Yuwen Chenglian's and Yao Ziyan's life. At that time, people were neither human nor ghost, and living was better than dying. In the worst times, I once thought, even if I were to be cut in half, it would be good. But they didn't kill me. I would rather waste my breath watching them suffer in retribution than die in shame like that. "

Xiao Ruyue spoke in a relaxed and casual manner, but Xiao Jingyu could still hear a trace of coldness in her low, hoarse voice.

That year, when the news came from the Wei Mansion that his little aunt had passed away due to childbirth had been spread, they said that it was unlucky and thus, they buried her in a hurry. He did not manage to see his aunt for the last time. Neither did his great-grandmother and grandparents even manage to catch a glimpse of his aunt. He could only watch as the coffin was buried in the distance.

The Xiao family would naturally not let this matter go, but in the end, because they could not control their strength, they could only swallow their anger. No one knew that their little aunt would actually be imprisoned in the backyard of the Wei Wang Residence and tortured to death by Yuwen Chenglian and Yao Ziyan those two brutes for a whole five years.

A whole five years.

If not for Miss Cai Wei telling him everything after entering Xiao Mansion, he would never know about it in this lifetime.

Whenever he thought of this, his heart would not be at peace, and he would suffer greatly.

Xiao Jingyu's face sank, the veins on his hand holding the teacup began to bulge.

Xiao Ruyue lightly patted the back of his hand, "Jing Yu, how is Cai Wei doing in Xiao Mansion?"

He was stunned for a moment before calming down, "Everything is fine for Lady Cai Wei in the Palace. As soon as she arrived, she made sure that everyone in the mansion was up and down. Ripple said that she learned a lot from Lady Cai Wei. "

"That's good."

After the incident with the Wei Wang Manor, the whole mansion was sealed, all the women in the mansion were sent as servants according to the law, Cai Wei was no exception. It was only until two days ago did Xiao Ruyue get Yin Lin to delete her from the official list and send her to Xiao Mansion.

Only if she regained her freedom would she be able to live a good life again.

"Jing Yu, it's almost mid-autumn." Before leaving the capital with His Majesty, my little aunt would like to see you get married. "

Xiao Jingyu opened his eyes wide in shock, "Little aunt, I …"

"How long has Ripple been in Xiao Mansion? I'm an innocent girl. Ever since you were framed by a concubine of the Liu Family and His Majesty helped you get away with the crime, she has been with us ever since. Can you make a girl wait for you like this forever? " Xiao Ruyue glanced at him and said slowly.

"No, no, no. I was trying to give her an official status. "Grandmother is also urging him."

Although Xiao Jingyu could take charge of himself outside, he was still a shy young lad in front of Xiao Ruyue.

"Go back and prepare, I will speak with His Majesty. at least on Mid-Autumn's day you can have tea that your daughter-in-law honors you with. "

Xiao Jingyu's face slightly blushed, and he slowly nodded, "I will. Ripple couldn't just follow me around and feel wronged. It would be best if little aunt was willing. "

Xiao Ruyue smiled and nodded, "This is a good thing. My little aunt is willing to be a beauty. When I get back, tell Grandma that I'll go see her. "

"Alright."

It was already afternoon when Empress Dowager woke up.

The old man slowly woke up, and the first thing he asked was, "Where is Qing He, the little girl?"

Yuwen He stood guard by the bed and spoke: "He's already gone."

The Empress Dowager became serious.

The Imperial Physician Fang felt his pulse, and after confirming that the Empress Dowager was alright, he drank a bowl of medicine. Her body was fine, but she couldn't control the sorrow in her heart.

She asked about what had happened, and who had done it. He gritted his teeth and said that he must capture the culprit!

"He was alive and kicking in front of me a few days ago. I was counting on her to marry a good family and live well for the rest of my life. "

Yuwen He responded indifferently and did not say a word.

Empress Dowager lamented for a long time, then looked at Xiao Ruyue who was seated at the side, her gaze becoming extremely sharp, "This matter has already happened for a few days, why did you not tell This Dowager about it? "What are you thinking, woman?"

Xiao Ruyue was startled, and laughed instead of getting angry.

Yuwen He's face sunk.

"Speak, I am asking you a question. The Emperor only favors you, but Qing He is also my heart! You've been hiding this from me for so long, what are you trying to do? " Empress Dowager was aggressive, with a tough attitude, as though she was questioning the murderer.

Xiao Ruyue and Yuwen He exchanged a glance, before replying at a leisurely pace, "Then does Empress Dowager still want to ask, is it because you have repeatedly tried to seduce Your Majesty and Princess Qing He, I have some hatred for Prince Consort Sun's family, and thus instigated this massacre?"

"If that's what you think, then chenqie will probably disappoint you. The annihilation of the Prince Consort's Mansion was not something that chenqie could do. Chenqie admitted that even if she cultivated for ten lifetimes, she still would not be able to be so cruel and merciless. There is another thing that chenqie has always wanted to say. Although you have repeatedly invited Princess Qing He to the palace, as long as I understand that His Majesty is not interested in her, she will not be a threat. Why would I want to harm her?

"You, a woman like you is trying to anger me to death!"

Xiao Ruyue drank a mouthful of water, her expression unchanging.

Yuwen He walked over to her side, gently patted her head and lightly said: "Royal Grandmother is already old, it can't help but be a little extreme. Don't be angry."

"No, I still understand. No matter what, Empress Dowager is still an elder." Xiao Ruyue replied smoothly.

It was as if he had rehearsed it in advance.

Empress Dowager's old face flushed red. "Emperor, what do you mean! Are you saying that This Dowager is muddle-headed? This Dowager will see that you have been bewitched by this fox spirit! "

After shouting this sentence with all her might, she clutched her chest and began to pant.

Xiao Ruyue stood up and bowed like the old lady of the Empress Dowager, "You are old, don't get angry with the younger generation, be careful or else your body will be hurt from the anger, chenqie won't have so many Heart Soothing Pills to give to you when you are in urgent need. As for the case of the Prince Consort's Mansion being exterminated, I believe His Majesty will give you an explanation. I'm just afraid that you won't be able to accept it when the time comes. "

Empress Dowager choked to the point that she could not say a word, she stared straight at Xiao Ruyue.

Yuwen He nodded his head and left, then instructed the Xu mama: "Take good care of Empress Dowager, if anything happens to Royal Grandmother, raise your head and meet me!"

After instructing them selflessly, he held Xiao Ruyue's hand and slowly walked out of the main entrance of the Lushua Hall.

They did not ride on the emperor's carriage. Instead, they leisurely strolled back. Yin Lin, green clothed Chong Yang, General Shen and the rest followed behind, they were quite a distance away from each other, both able to protect and not to be so close.

Fang Weiyong was not here, but he was at Courtyard's place. On the surface, he said that was not feeling well, and left the palace on leave to recuperate.

"Elder Sister Xiao has been scolded again." Yuwen He's footsteps paused as he walked, and he looked at Xiao Ruyue with her burning eyes.

She smiled sweetly and said without a care, "Every time I get scolded, I get used to it. Fortunately, your Royal Grandmother doesn't look like an old man who is sick at all. I can finally rest assured. "

It was already expected that he would only receive a few curses. To her, this was nothing at all.

"Yes, yes, yes. It's all my fault that I caused Elder Sister Xiao to suffer." Yuwen He's face was full of smiles, she did not put on any impersonal airs in front of others.

Xiao Ruyue cast a sidelong glance at him, "But of course, I'm still feeling wronged. After the Li Palace comes our two people's world. You must properly compensate me. "

"Alright, whatever Elder Sister Xiao says is fine."

A lackey.

What's the use of saying something nice.

However, it did work.

In the suburbs.

The small courtyard planted a few osmanthus trees, approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival, the flowers gradually opened, the entire yard osmanthus fragrance.

Feng Yuting walked under the tree and greedily took a deep breath of the flower-scented air, then opened his eyes. The flirtatious look still lingered in the corner of his eyes.

"Tower Lord." The Hai Shi brothers appeared behind her back. Feng Yuting slowly turned her head and looked at them a few times.

Today they were no longer dressed as Tartars, but in Chinese, with their headscarves covering their hair. Try not to show his distinctive face.

The costume had made their next arrangements public.

"Are we leaving soon?"

"Yes, OP." The two brothers said in unison, "The khan has already started urging."

Feng Yuting acknowledged, "Since you want to go back, then let's go in a more straightforward manner." As she spoke, her gaze landed on Hai Shi's face, "Do you still resent in your heart for not being able to bring the Begonia out of the palace?"

Hai Shi hesitated for a moment, then immediately denied: "No, no OP has already tried his best."

Feng Yuting curled her lips, and with a smile that was not a smile, she agreed with what he said. She gestured for the two to follow her ears, and whispered a few words to herself. The two brothers Hai Shi and Hai Yan revealed looks of astonishment, and spoke in unison: "It can actually be like this?"
