Reborn to be the Queen

"Your He mama has been by Empress Dowager's side for many years. He is an elder of the palace and is most familiar with the palace's rules. You said that I didn't listen to Empress Dowager's imperial decree and even beat you up for no reason, yet you still came to Empress Dowager to report my crimes. How dare you say that easily? "

Xiao Ruyue's smiling face was like a flower, with a harmless expression, but it was completely lethal.

"Thank you for sparing my life, esteemed empress, thank you for sparing mine." and Imperial Consort Ye went to the imperial garden. Just left. Before leaving, I've instructed this old servant to stay. There's no need to be polite to esteemed empress to block my way back. "

Lushua Hall's guards and the other palace attendants who were cleaning shivered. No one dared to make a sound.

Xiao Ruyue turned around indifferently, instructing the people behind him, "Come, let's go to the imperial garden."

The Da Xia Empire was in the west, and spring was already late. The East Mausoleum was already in the late spring, and there was still a whole garden to be closed.

In the garden, many folk do not have the rare flowers and herbs, incomparably precious, under the care of the gardener blossomed many beautiful.

He followed the path and arrived at a pavilion with five corners and overhanging eaves. The pavilion was called Spring Pavilion.

In the Spring Pavilion, Empress Dowager and Imperial Consort Ye were drinking tea and chatting merrily.

Xiao Ruyue came outside the pavilion, and gracefully bowed. "Chenqie pays my respects to Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager is blessed."

The Empress Dowager's laughter suddenly stopped, and Ye Haitang's expression froze as she turned around.

"The empress is not in good health, and doesn't want to invite the Phoenix Palace to rest? What are you doing here?" Empress Dowager's tone was not friendly.

Xiao Ruyue stood up and walked towards the pavilion, only then did Ye Haitang stand up and blessing Xiao Ruyue with a token blessing, "Chenqie greets the Empress."

"Forget it. It's even harder for me to see a noble concubine like you than it is to see a sovereign. I can't afford to receive such a gift from a noble concubine. " Xiao Ruyue waved his hand and sat down.

Empress Dowager's face was extremely unhappy, "Empress, This Dowager is currently talking to Imperial Consort Ye. If you have nothing else, you should head back."

"How can that be? Chenqie came specially to pay her respects to you, Royal Grandmother. " Xiao Ruyue said as he poured himself a cup of tea.

The Empress Dowager scoffed, "I have never seen the Queen go to the Lushua Hall before, so what kind of wind is she blowing today? I'm afraid I can't afford it. "

"Even chenqie is afraid that you won't be able to take it. However, since you are a Royal Grandmother, Min Er has to pay respects as per usual. " Xiao Ruyue said casually.

There is a suspicion of disrespect.

Empress Dowager's face changed, she subconsciously looked at Ye Haitang, but did not say a word.

Both Yin Lin and Lu Yi's expression changed as they looked at Xiao Ruyue worriedly.

Shen Liang was still the same as ever, expressionless as he quietly followed behind Xiao Ruyue, as if everything that happened had nothing to do with him.

"Empress Dowager, chenqie just dealt with one of the He mama s. She lied in front of chenqie and even used you as a shield. chenqie has already executed her in accordance to the palace rule."

"What did you say!" Empress Dowager slapped the table as she stood up in disbelief, "Say that again."

At this time, a young eunuch from the Lushua Hall ran over.

He had obviously wanted to report the matter of He mama's death to Empress Dowager. When he arrived and saw Xiao Ruyue present, he stammered, not daring to speak.

"What are you afraid of, speak!" The Empress Dowager shouted.

The young eunuch trembled and hurriedly told her about the empress's execution of the He mama.

"Situ Min, how dare you! Do you know that He mama is an old man who has accompanied This Dowager for dozens of years! "Who gave you the right to execute This Dowager!" The Empress Dowager was furious.

On the other hand, Xiao Ruyue had a light smile on her face, without the slightest hint of anger.

When the two were competing, Empress Dowager had already lost.

"The empress is so impressive!" He mama has been by Empress Dowager's side for many years, even if he did not contribute, he still had to work hard. Aren't you going to say the same thing tomorrow to the Empress Dowager? " Ye Haitang scoffed.

Xiao Ruyue looked at her upon hearing this, her bright eyes instantly sharpened. "Imperial Consort Ye's words are rather puzzling to me. The Empress Dowager is the Royal Grandmother of the Lord and also my senior. How could I dare to so easily kill him? Unless, the Prince has committed the same crime as the citizens, is Imperial Consort Ye hinting that the Empress Dowager has committed a death sentence of beheading?! "

Ye Haitang was no ordinary girl. She had seen the world unfold before. However, she was actually a bit timid when she met the empress's gaze.

That pair of clear and transparent eyes seemed to be able to see through everything and was extremely sharp, making it impossible to hide from its gaze.

However, this timidity flashed by, and Ye Haitang quickly regained her composure. She retorted Xiao Ruyue at a moderate pace, "Where did the Empress say that? Chenqie never said that the Empress Dowager was in trouble. "Esteemed Empress knows this is a great disrespect."

Xiao Ruyue did not answer, she drank the tea in her cup, then stood up and took her leave.

and also ignored the reactions of the Empress Dowager and Ye Haitang.

After leaving the imperial garden, Xiao Ruyue returned to the Invitation Phoenix Palace.

Fang Weiyong sent a message that His Majesty was going to invite the Phoenix Palace for lunch. At this moment, the Palace Mistresses were bustling about under Yin Lin's command.

On the contrary, Xiao Ruyue, the main character who had nothing better to do, just sat there in a daze.

"Do you think that when I dealt with the He mama today, I was too cold?" Xiao Ruyue suddenly lifted his chin and looked at her.

Liangqiu Yayin nodded.

"Then big sister must also think that I do not have any respect for the elders in Empress Dowager."

Liangqiu Yayin pondered for a moment, then said, "This Empress Dowager is very strange, are you trying to test her?"

"Sister will understand in two days." Xiao Ruyue did not want to hide it from her.

When she said that she was afraid that the Empress Dowager wouldn't be able to bear her greetings, the Empress Dowager clearly showed a bit of panic, but she subconsciously looked at Ye Haitang. When Ye Haitang spoke again, Empress Dowager did not even open her mouth once.

This only proved that her guess was correct.

They probably didn't know that she was Situ Min, but she was also Xiao Ruyue. She had known Empress Dowager for a long time.

She was never happy to hide her thoughts. "You weren't like this before. At that time, you were very straightforward. You said something, you said it. But now …

She seemed to not know what to say, and paused for a moment before saying, "You disappeared for ten years, and the outside world says that you have already died, but ten years later, you suddenly became another person. I can understand why you refused to tell me why you came here, but you know, when I saw Shen Liang bringing your handwritten letter to me, I thought it was just a dream. Shen Liang brought me into the palace. I also thought that someone was imitating your handwriting to trick me until you called me big sister. I didn't dare believe that it was you. But I didn't ask. Can you tell me today what happened to you when you died ten years ago? Why did your previous husband marry her again and why did he completely leave his relationship with the Xiao family behind?

"I'm Sister Ya Yin, I don't know how to tell you. I don't even know how it happened. I don't know where to start. " Xiao Ruyue spoke sincerely and earnestly.

Liangqiu Yayin saw the distress on her face and did not pursue further.

"When you've thought it through and figured it out, let me know as soon as possible. "Okay?"

Liangqiu Yayin laughed, but recovered her usual indifference, "I have already seen the Imperial Consort Ye that you wanted me to see, but I can't come to a conclusion yet. I will tell you about it after I get my answer."

Thank you, Sister Ya Yin.

As they were talking in the house, she heard the sound of "His Majesty's arrival" from outside. She then said that she was going back to her room to look at a medical book.

Xiao Ruyue did not stop him.

In her eyes, Yuwen He was her husband. No matter what, she was not willing to bow to him, as this was a great sin in the eyes of the people around her.

Therefore, every time Yuwen He came to invite the Phoenix Palace, Liangqiu Yayin would simply avoid it.

This is also a good way to avoid conflict.

The palace had always been a well-informed place. When Yuwen He came, the Empress Dowager was infuriated. "When Yuwen He came, the Empress took advantage of the fact that Empress Dowager wasn't in Lushua Hall and executed the He mama that Empress Dowager relied the most on by his side." The news had already spread throughout the palace.

Yuwen He, naturally knew of it as well.

Furthermore, it was not only "the empress executed the He mama that Empress Dowager relied on the most," but also "the empress rudely went against the Empress Dowager, looking down on everyone else".

"If these rumors were to spread to the palace, the empress would become the sinner of a wicked defeat." When Yuwen He saw Xiao Ruyue, he said this.
