Have you ever thought about letting him take over?

Yuwen He and Tang Jingzhi looked at each other, as if they had reached an agreement. With Xiao Ruyue's understanding of the two of them, they should have had some kind of plan that would make it difficult for others to see.

But she did not ask any further, leaving Liangqiu Yayin with the words to drive Yuwen He and Tang Jingzhi out.

Yuwen He did want to discuss something with Tang Jingzhi before he decided to keep his precious Elder Sister Xiao.

When they left, Liangqiu Yayin leaned towards Xiao Ruyue and asked mysteriously, "What do you think?"

"What do you mean?"

"Feng Yuting has brought Ye Haitang along. If her Live Gu were to succeed, her life would be ruined." Miss Liangqiu said with a serious face.

Xiao Ruyue smiled faintly, "Don't you have the answer in your heart? Then why are you asking? "

"If I knew that it would be so troublesome for Ye Haitang to live, I would have killed her with a single strike!" Liangqiu Yayin slammed the table in anger.

Xiao Ruyue could not help but laugh, "You do have a chance, why don't you make a move first?"

"…" Miss Liangqiu was momentarily at a loss for words. She curled her lips and said, "Wasn't my heart filled with compassion, thinking that she wouldn't be able to live much longer, and so I left her to fend for herself?"

Xiao Ruyue laughed but did not say a word.

How could she not understand Big Sister Ya Yin's personality. She did hate Ye Haitang and Feng Yuting, but Ye Haitang had already received the punishment that she deserved, so she would definitely spend the rest of her days living a life worse than death. No matter if it was her or Big Sister Ya Yin, neither of them would be willing to be the person to give Ye Haitang a quick death.

But being caught unawares for a moment, she gave Feng Yuting the opportunity to strike.

In the end, they had underestimated Feng Yuting. Or rather, it should be said that they had underestimated Quicksand Pavilion's Pavilion Master, Yan Jue.

This Second Prince, who was willing to risk his life to test out the medicine for his father just for the position of crown prince, was the truly terrifying person.

Yan Jue, who was also known as Yuwen Jue, had actually changed a good name for himself.

At this moment, the study room that was separated from Xiao Ruyue was also lit up.

Yuwen He was not the only one present, Tang Jingzhi was also present. Even the Great General Yuwen Xiao and Vice General Yang, who should have been guarding the middle tent in the military camp, had also arrived.

"Your Majesty, Third Prince of Tatar has already made all the arrangements according to your instructions. Third Prince of Tatar won't allow others who aren't related to take even half a step closer." Chong Yue stood at the door as he solemnly reported.

Yuwen He acknowledged, and indicated for him to retreat to the back to wait, before retreating behind Yuwen He.

The Great General took a cup of tea and cup it with some tea before looking at his elder brother and saying, "You really want me to personally send the person over in the middle of the night? This Third Prince of Tatar sure has a grand style."

"You should think that you have given me a tribute. Isn't that great?" Yuwen He met his gaze, and retorted disapprovingly.

The general was rendered speechless.

You are the Emperor, you have the final say.

Tang Jingzhi looked back and forth between them and almost laughed out loud. But before he could even laugh, he was hit by a tea cup lid that suddenly flew over to him. Fortunately, he reached out quickly to catch it, and got missed.

"What do you think about Yuwen Jue?" Yuwen He looked at the Great General.

His own younger brother was stunned, "What do you mean by 'how do you see it'?"

"Don't you know that the person who lured you in and said that you could practice until you were invincible, and then worked so hard to create a scam at all costs to lure you into taking the bait was your second uncle?"

Yuwen Xiao was startled yet again, "Is he really still alive?!"

Just as he finished speaking, he realized what he had said and cleared his throat awkwardly, "I once suspected that the person who did everything possible to get me to become an invincible weapon was him, but I didn't expect that …" It really was him.

There was a reason for all this. Otherwise, if someone came looking for him for no reason, he wouldn't have believed it so easily.

Yuwen He had thought of it from the beginning, but he had only dragged it out to this point, because he wanted to give him a chance.

The person most surprised to hear them discuss this was Vice General Yang. Since His Majesty and the Great General were able to speak casually, it meant that His Majesty knew a thing or two about the Great General's affairs.

What level of tolerance had His Majesty shown towards the general?

Or was this simply the calm before the storm?

Yuwen He stared at Yuwen Xiao with his eyes that seemed to have shattered a little bit of starlight. A certain great general felt uncomfortable under his brother's stare, "Don't look at me like that, I was just trying to test you in the beginning, but that medicine was indeed mystical and you should be glad. If I wasn't so confused, I wouldn't have been able to catch up with sister-in-law and bring her back to you unharmed."

He was referring to the matter of Yuwen Chenglian capturing Xiao Ruyue and escaping from the capital, then encountering the betrayal of his subordinates, which nearly caused Xiao Ruyue to encounter danger.

However, it was hateful to mention which pot it was. Hearing that, Yuwen He glanced at him coldly.

"Your second uncle is right in front of Liangzhou City. Have you thought about welcoming him back and letting him take over the position of Da Xia Empire?"

Yuwen Xiao was caught off guard and shivered.

Inside Xiao Ruyue's room.

Liangqiu Yayin stared at Yue'er for a long time, then said seriously: "You are more and more similar to your Yue'er, even the way you speak and the helpless look in your eyes are almost the same."

He then sighed deeply, "Your dog emperor really worries about a lot of things, but why doesn't he think about his own matters properly?"

"Even you and Tang Jingzhi can't do anything, what else can he do?" Xiao Ruyue was about to laugh or not.

He was on the verge of tears.

Liangqiu Yayin slapped herself on the face, "You can't stop me from talking, or you can't even open my mouth."

Xiao Ruyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Her crystal clear tears congealed in her eyes, and she wiped them off with her sleeves.

No matter what, he refused to let the tears fall.

Seeing her like that, Liangqiu Yayin did not know if he should comfort her or what he should do, and hesitantly decided to shut up.

After a long while, he found a topic to talk about. "Where is your worm?"

"I don't know what's going on either." Xiao Ruyue said calmly.

Two days ago, when she opened the cold jade box to take a look, her treasure, the Jade Silkworm Gu, was starting to form a cocoon.

The Jade Silkworm Gu still had no reaction these two days, and she wondered if the cocoon was ready yet. She was still a little worried in her heart.

"Does Sister Ya Yin know what to do after the Jade Silkworm Gu has formed its cocoon?"

"I only heard my grandma mention it once, and the medical book only said it was something like that. As for what would happen, I'm not too sure."

Xiao Ruyue nodded.

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "What can the Golden Silkworm Gu do?"

"King of Ten Thousand Gu, this Gu is invincible the moment it appears."

Xiao Ruyue fell into deep thought.

Only after a long period of silence, did her eyes regain their clarity. She got Big Sister Ya Yin to whisper something in her ear.

Hearing that, Big Sister Ya Yin just stared at him with her eyes wide open, "It's not good for me to do this, if your dog emperor finds out, he's going to skin me alive."

"When did Sister Ya Yin become such a coward?"

Miss Liangqiu threw up her hands: This has nothing to do with being timid and not having any money at all. Your dog emperor is just a berserker protecting his wife, if you lose even a single hair on your head, he can make me lose my life, what more such a huge matter. Haven't you seen how badly that idiot Tang Jingzhi was tricked by him?

However, Xiao Ruyue's eyes were shining brightly, she did not have any leeway to refuse, her heart was stuck in her throat, and could not bear it anymore, so she nodded her head in the end.

After Liangqiu Yayin left, Yin Lin and Lu Yi entered the room, and General Shen Liang Shen was called in by Xiao Ruyue.

"Empress, what orders do you have?"

"I just want to ask, what did His Majesty ask you to do these past few days?"

Shen Liang paused for a moment. "Esteemed Empress, His Majesty …"

"Even though His Majesty is the emperor of Da Xia Empire, in the end, you are still my direct Guard Captain. We should have listened to your commands from the bottom of our hearts. " Xiao Ruyue looked at him sideways, her tone light, not revealing any joy or anger.

The General Shen hesitated for a moment, before replying, "En", and explained, "In the next few days, I will meet up with Eunuch Fang Fang Weiyong, and infiltrate into the Liangzhou City to find out more news."

Yuwen He had left the warriors in the Da Xia Army alone and the people in the Herba Phoenixis alone, but he had used Shen Liang and Fang Weiyong because of Thirteen. If they used people from the Herba Phoenixis, then there would definitely be thirteen old acquaintances, and the news would unavoidably leak out. And of these two people, one of them was Fang Weiyong's loyal servant and definitely would not sell out Yuwen He; and of course, the other General Shen was someone she had brought from the East Mausoleum. Furthermore, they were both highly skilled and were indeed the most suitable candidates.

The truth had proven that Thirteen's background could be completely overturned. The reason the news of Liangzhou City had spread out was all because of these two.

However, Xiao Ruyue had believed from the beginning that Yuwen He had spent a lot of effort to ask her to borrow the General Shen, and even brought Fang Weiyong over from the capital, definitely not just to spy on her for a few days in ambush in the Liangzhou City.

"Except for spying?"

"Empress, please forgive me. This general cannot say."

Xiao Ruyue frowned, she was slightly unhappy, but she did not force anyone, "Since it's like this, remember to report to me about the East Mausoleum's situation. After calculating the time, Cai Yin should be in the capital by now."

The General Shen replied solemnly, "Yes, Empress. She knows the importance of this. Although the Wei Family has helped us out, Shen Liang understands right from wrong. "

"That would be better if she knew as well as you do. I do not wish for that map of the mountains and rivers to fall into the hands of the Wei Family. " Xiao Ruyue spoke sincerely and earnestly.

General Shen did not speak anymore, and he allowed him to leave.

The movements of the East Mausoleum were always a problem for the Da Xia Empire, if they were not able to stabilize them, the Da Xia Empire would be in trouble at any time.

He could only hope that her Heavenly Emperor's brother would be able to walk out of his sorrow and not allow the combined forces of Empress Dowager Feng and the Wei Family to thoroughly control the situation in the East Mausoleum.

"Empress, you clearly know that General Shen won't tell you, so why are you still insisting on asking him?" When the General Shen went out, Lu Yi asked while fiddling with the chrysanthemums he had just picked.

Xiao Ruyue played with the porcelain bottle in her hand, and did not say a word.
