While changing clothes, Lin Ruyi wanted to send a message to Chu Jieyi, but even if he was so far away, there was nothing she could do except worry.

Moreover, Chu Jieyi has been recovering from his injuries recently, and she didn't want him to worry about herself, so she simply told him when she came back.

Even if the emperor wanted to make trouble for her, it would definitely not be too much. After all, Chu Jieyi was still fighting him, so it was impossible for him to do anything to himself.

After changing his clothes, he took Chunlu and went into the palace with the eunuch who delivered the imperial decree.

It was getting late at first, but it was already dark in the palace.

Horse-drawn carriages in the palace cannot be moved freely, they can only be parked outside, and the road inside must be walked by oneself.

Chunlu supported Lin Ruyi, the eunuch leading the way walked a little fast, they could only speed up their pace in order to keep up.

Although Lin Ruyi's stomach is less than five months old, it's not too big, but if she walks too fast, her stomach will become tight, but now she is going to see the emperor, who can control their life and death, so she doesn't dare to neglect her. Try to keep up with the eunuch in front.

After walking for almost half an hour, they finally arrived outside a palace. The eunuch asked them to wait here, and he wanted to go in first to report.

Lin Ruyi nodded, and waited for the eunuch to notify her that she could just take a rest.

After walking for so long, and at a much faster pace than usual, she felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach, which made her a little overwhelmed.

"Ma'am, are you alright?" Chunlu asked nervously seeing Lin Ruyi's complexion.

Lin Ruyi stroked her stomach with one hand, and shook her head gently.

"It's nothing, don't worry."

Chunlu nodded, but she was still paying attention to Lin Ruyi's expression, worried about her stomach.

The two of them waited outside for about 10 minutes before seeing the eunuch who was going to deliver the message came out, walked up to Lin Ruyi and said, "Madam General, the Emperor is still discussing state affairs with the ministers, and the slave will take you to the side hall to rest first." , and wait for him to finish his work, and then send you an audience."

Lin Ruyi didn't dare to say anything, so she nodded and said, "Okay, then I will trouble Eunuch Wen."

They followed Eunuch Wen to the side hall next to it. The palace was not very big, but it was brightly lit with candles inside.

"Mrs. General, please rest here for a while. After the emperor finishes his work, the servant will call you again. If you have something to do, you can tell the two maids to come and call me." Eunuch Wen said to Lin Ruyi, his tone still It's respectful.

"Okay, thank you, Eunuch Wen." Lin Ruyi nodded her thanks.

Eunuch Wen went out after finishing speaking, Lin Ruyi went to a chair and sat down with Chunlu's support.

Chunlu helped Lin Ruyi beat her back to relax.

The master and the servant did not communicate with each other, so Chunlu massaged her to relax, while she closed her eyes and rested, guessing in her mind why the emperor asked her to come.

After walking for so long, she was a little thirsty.

The emperor actually called her to the palace, so it was definitely impossible to poison her.

She asked Chunlu to pick up the teapot on the table and poured her a glass of white water.

Chun Lu was a little hesitant at first, but she didn't dare to take out the silver needle to test the poison. After all, this is the palace, and there are maids guarding it. It would be bad if it got to the emperor's ears.

Until Lin Ruyi said it was all right, the water would definitely not be a problem, she was right after thinking about it, so she went over and poured her a glass of water.

Lin Ruyi drank the water and rested for a while.

After waiting for almost an hour, Eunuch Wen came to ask them to have an audience.

Lin Ruyi got up quickly, followed behind Eunuch Wen, and followed him all the way to the main hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Eunuch Wen asked her to wait at the gate of the hall, and he had to go in first to report.

Lin Ruyi waited at the gate of the hall again, but this time, Eunuch Wen came out before waiting for 2 minutes, and asked her to go in quickly to meet the saint.

Because the emperor only sent her to see her, Chunlu was a slave, so naturally she couldn't follow her in, and could only wait at the gate of the hall.

Lin Ruyi was a little nervous as she followed behind Eunuch Wen. After all, this was the first time she had seen the ancient emperor.

The Hall of Mental Cultivation is very large, and there are many lights in it, making the whole room very bright.

She didn't dare to aim randomly, so she could only follow behind Eunuch Wen in a regular manner.

When I arrived in the main hall, I saw a middle-aged man wearing a bright yellow dragon robe sitting at the head. His facial features were resolute and his eyes were sharp. Although his face was a little tired, the aura of a person in charge around him was full of majesty. , the feeling of not being offended.

"Your Majesty, Mrs. Chu is here." Eunuch Wen stepped forward and reported in a low voice.

The man sitting at the top raised his head and glanced at Lin Ruyi.

Lin Ruyi hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "My wife Lin pays homage to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

She learned how to salute men on TV.

Although she has never knelt down to anyone before, after all, this is ancient times, and people have to bow their heads under the eaves.

"Pingshen." The emperor said in a flat voice.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lin Ruyi quickly got up from the ground, then stood beside her with her head slightly lowered.

It seems that she can only look directly at the emperor, so she can only lower her head.

"Today Huo Tingxue went to the General's Mansion to talk to you about the old days, but he fell into a coma after returning. How do you explain this?" The emperor sat on it and asked directly.

Lin Ruyi frowned instantly, she had no idea about Huo Tingxue's coma, and no one had ever told her about it.

"Your majesty, my wife is not aware of this matter. And Princess Yihuan didn't go to the general's mansion today to catch up with me. I have nothing to do with her. She went to see me in the morning. I was not feeling well and didn't want to see her." , but she said that you agreed to her request and used this request to force me to see her.

And after the meeting, we only said a few words, and there was no conflict.She left after a short stay, and I don't know what happened after she went back. "Lin Ruyi knelt down and spoke again, her tone was sonorous and forceful, without a hint of guilt.

Hearing Lin Ruyi's words, Zhou Chengyi frowned slightly, looked down at her, and continued, "Since it's not reminiscing about the past, then what did you say? Why did she become unconscious after returning home?"

Lin Ruyi immediately recounted to the emperor what Huo Tingxue said to her today.

When she spoke, she raised her head, and Zhou Chengyi could see her expression, her eyes were firm and her expression was calm, obviously she didn't seem to be lying.

After listening to her story, I probably understood what was going on.

"The imperial doctor went to Huo's house to feel her pulse, saying that she was poisoned. She has only been to the general's mansion today, and only met you. How do you explain?" Zhou Chengyi continued to ask.

"Your majesty, do you think that if I really want to poison her, would I be so stupid as to be in the general's mansion? Although the minister's wife is a village woman, it's impossible for her to be so stupid. You can send someone to the general's mansion to investigate. You can have someone search the General's Mansion to see if there is such poison in the General's Mansion." Lin Ruyi knelt on the ground and said neither humble nor overbearing.
