"Have you never heard of 'No Wind No Waves'? It must be because Yan Yuan was raising a woman outside, that Kaiser reminded me like this. "

No, definitely not. If Yan Yuan really gave the heartlock to Xiao San, she would suffer a huge loss.

"Come, Xiao Yue, let's quickly go in."

She hurriedly entered the Longevity Palace, completely forgetting what she had planned along the way. It was only when she arrived at the entrance of the Longevity Palace that she suddenly remembered.

"Where's Tian Xin? Why hasn't he come?"

Inside the Main Hall, the Empress Dowager's worried voice travelled all the way to Liu Ruoqing's ears.

"imperial sister-in-law, Tian Xin is here."

Liu Ruoqing answered immediately, following that, she limped and with Xiao Yue's support, she stepped into the hall, completely unlike when she was at the entrance of the Longevity Palace, lively and nimble.

Yan Yuan's eyes suddenly turned deeper. Seeing her struggling to limp towards the Empress Dowager, he knew what she wanted to do.

This damned woman, she had already acted pitifully quite a few times in front of imperial sister-in-law.

Just a moment ago, they were still alive and kicking outside the door, and now they're lame again?

Yan Shuo also noticed the small change in Liu Ruoqing and the smile deepened in his eyes. It seemed that this little aunt of his really did not intend to let go of Ninth Imperial Uncle.

First it was to sow discord in front of him, but now he was running in front of the mother, was he trying to act pitiful?

Yan Shuo suddenly noticed that Liu Ruoqing had extended his hands out on purpose, the ten fingers on his hands were wrapped in gauze, and there was even a faint color of blood on them.

The corner of Yan Shuo's mouth hooked up. It seemed that someone was going to sue the imperial uncle in front of him.

Sure enough, when the empress dowager saw that it was so difficult to walk, all ten fingers of her hands were still wrapped in gauze, and she immediately said, "Tian Xin, you've been injured on your leg for more than half a month, why are you still walking like this? I'll get the imperial physician to take a good look at you later."

As the empress dowager spoke, she motioned to the palace maid beside her. "Hurry up and tell the wangfei to sit down."

"Yes, Majesty."

Liu Ruoqing smiled proudly in his heart. With the support of the palace maid, he sat down on a chair.

Then, he used a finger covered in gauze to twist the hair around his ears and said: "Thank you imperial sister-in-law, Tian Xin's injury is no longer serious, in two days he will be fine."

"It's still fine even though things are like this. I'll get the imperial physician to examine you later."

The Empress Dowager's slightly reproachful voice contained concern that couldn't be ignored. "That's right, what happened to your finger? How did it end up like this?"

Hearing the empress dowager's question, a smile of success quickly flashed past Liu Ruoqing's eyes. Only, she was too calm and collected, and did not let the empress dowager find out. However, Yan Yuan, who had been paying attention to her every word and action, had completely seen this smile.

Seeing Liu Ruoqing pretended to be panicking and put his finger behind him, he hurriedly shook his head and said, "No ? "Nothing."

When the empress dowager saw her hiding like this, and recalled how she defended Yan Yuan several times when she visited her at the Duke Palaces, she finally guessed at something.

His eyes were full of reproach as he looked at Yan Yuan, and said in a deep voice: "Lao Jiu, did you bully Tian Xin again? You promised Wailing Home a few days ago, how did you forget about it now?"

He had long expected that Liu Ruoqing's move would cause the empress dowager to turn her attention to him. Yan Yuan could look down on others in the empress dowager's eyes, but he was extremely respectful to the empress dowager, as if he was treating his own mother.

Therefore, besides sulking, he basically did not refute Her Majesty's question.

His gaze turned towards Liu Ruoqing as he spoke with a gloomy face: "imperial sister-in-law, I, your servant, did not bully her."

"Then tell me, what happened to Tian Xin's finger? Could it be that if she just sat there well, her finger would be injured? "

Liu Ruoqing was laughing so hard that his intestines were tied up, especially when he saw Yan Yuan's sullen look. He really wanted to run out and set off the firecrackers.

Several times, she'd even thought to herself, Is the empress dowager really unable to tell if she's pretending or if she's pretending to help her out? No matter what, is it really so easy to be tricked by her when she's fighting step by step with over three thousand women to sit on the empress dowager's seat?

However, at this point, she had no interest in finding out whether the empress dowager really knew or pretended to know. In short, all she wanted to know was whether the empress dowager was on her side or not.

With that thought, she immediately behaved in front of the empress dowager and said, "imperial sister-in-law, don't blame the prince. It really has nothing to do with the king, Tian Xin was too stupid.

"Embroidery a handkerchief to the Lao Jiu?"

Just now, the empress dowager had a reproachful expression on her face as she revealed a smile. "This is indeed new. The embroidery is done. Let me take a look at it for Wailing Home to see."

Yan Yuan was originally full of anger, but after hearing Liu Ruoqing's words, the bottom of his eyes couldn't help but rise a trace of ridicule and disdain.

"Yes, imperial sister-in-law."

Seeing Liu Ruoqing take out a square handkerchief that was folded neatly and handed it over to the empress dowager, she pursed her lips and said, "imperial sister-in-law, Tian Xin's embroidery is terrible, please do not be offended."

The empress dowager received it with a smile, and her gaze intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Yan Yuan. Then, she slowly opened the handkerchief.

Yan Shuo also went over with interest, almost laughing out loud when he saw Liu Ruoqing's masterpiece.

This... It really did seem like it came from the hands of a Ninth Aunt like him, too... Too impressive.

Yan Shuo forcibly retracted the smile in his eyes, and looked at Yan Yuan, and thought that Yan Yuan was holding onto a handkerchief, and felt that ? Very awkward.

"This... These two chicks are quite well embroidered. "

The empress dowager gave him a very polite evaluation, her expression appearing somewhat odd.

"Chicken? Where are the chickens? "

Liu Ruoqing stood up from his chair and walked over to the empress dowager's side. He pointed to the two chickens the empress dowager had spoken of and said, "imperial sister-in-law, how does this look like a chicken?

What kind of eyesight did these people have? She had done it based on the drawing of the Winged Bird that Xiao Yue had found, so although it was a little different, it had nothing to do with a little chicken.

"Compare... A wing sparrow? "

The corner of Yan Shuo's lips twitched even more. He had originally wanted to give some face, but he had really ? His Ninth Aunt's funny skills were too great.

It really was a perfect match for the Cold Faced King, the imperial uncle.

Yan Yuan was also excited by Yan Shuo's look, his gaze turned back to the handkerchief, it was not like Yan Shuo who did not laugh and wanted to do so, but remained expressionless.

The mockery in his eyes deepened.

"Then I guess ?" These two green objects should be the connecting branches. "

Yan Shuo covered his lips, coughed twice, forcefully suppressing the burst of laughter.
