"Lin Yun, don''t joke around. We don''t even have enough time to love you." Madame Zhao inwardly glared at Xue Ruyun, warning her not to speak carelessly. In front of outsiders, she was a virtuous and virtuous mother.
"Isn''t it you?" Xue Ruyun definitely wouldn''t refuse to take advantage of her and directly expose her acting skills.
This time, Mrs Zhao''s face could no longer be seen. There were bursts of red and white on her face. She forced a smile, but that smile was even uglier than crying.
The eunuch had stayed in the palace for many years and was best at observing the expressions of others. Now that he heard Xue Moyan say this, he immediately saw that their relationship was not harmonious. After all, she was his stepmother. He knew that Xue Ruyun was now a popular person in the eyes of the emperor, so he seized this opportunity to ingratiate himself with him and said, "These rewards were all given to Miss Xue. The emperor has said that you can give them to her however you wish."
When Mrs Zhao heard this, her face immediately changed. No matter how much she squeezed, other than raising her head, she could not squeeze out a smile.
She stared at Xue Luoyun, her heart rising to her throat. Whether or not she could obtain these things all depended on a single sentence from him.
"Then all of you can leave." Seeing Madame Zhao act this way, Xue Ruoyun deliberately teased her.
As expected, Mrs Zhao''s face darkened. She really wanted to cry, but no tears came out.
"Yes." The eunuch answered and then ordered them to be carried away. He glanced at Madame Zhao, then changed his tone. "Forget it, since the emperor has bestowed this upon mother, you guys should also be fortunate to be able to move around. It''s better to stay."
The Zhao family had experienced roller coasters several times a day, so they couldn''t help but feel anxious.
"But..." Xue Ruyun was panting heavily again.
Mrs Zhao tensed up as she looked at her. She thought that if this Xue Luoyun went back on his word, he would definitely tear her apart.
"This Yun Zhi has been with me for many years, and she is very loyal to me. I must keep some clothes for her."
"That''s easy, that''s easy. You just need to choose." Mrs Zhao agreed. For the sake of this large amount of rewards, she was willing to go all out.
"Yes, Madam Xie, Miss Xie." Yun Zhi cheered happily. When the surrounding servants saw Yun Zhi act in such a manner, they couldn''t help but secretly feel envious. When they thought about the hardships they had to endure on behalf of the Zhao clan, the Zhao clan was even extremely harsh on them. They regretted not choosing a good master at that time.
Xue Ruyun and Yun Zhi chatted and laughed as they walked towards the small courtyard.
"Thinking about Mrs Zhao''s appearance just now, I really can''t help but find it funny."
"That''s right, Miss. Seeing Madam''s expression, one moment clear, and the next, the rain, even I feel that it''s funny."
As the two of them were talking, they walked in and saw a handsome figure sitting in the courtyard. Xue Luoyun was stunned for a moment, and then guessed who it was. Needless to say, this was a frequent visitor who visited their small courtyard at night, Mu Sheng.
"Why are you here?" As he spoke, he sat down by the stone table.
"It''s scary to be quiet like this all the time." It was all thanks to the fact that Xue Ruyun had the guts.
At this time, Yun Zhi brought a cup of tea, and Xue Ruoyun personally served it to him. Mu Ying raised his head, but didn''t answer him.
"If you don''t want to tell me, then forget it. I''m going to sleep." You stay here and sit down. Xue Ruyun was so angry that he was about to leave, but Mu Ying slowly opened his mouth.
"Why are you so happy?"
Xue Ruyun smiled, but this trick still worked. He turned around and coldly said, "Why should I tell you?"
Mu Ying frowned. She actually dared to speak to him in such a manner. "If you tell me, I will point out a loophole in your defense."
"What a joke, am I going to have a loophole?" Xue Ruyun coldly snorted, but the interest in his heart was instantly aroused. This was because every time Mu Ying made a suggestion, it would be extremely useful.
"Fine, deal." Xue Ruyun sat down. He was so excited that he told everything that had happened just now in detail.
Hearing this, a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Mu Ying''s mouth, but he quickly hid it. With such a small matter, she was already this excited. If Xue Ruoyun wanted Lady Zhao''s life, then he, Mu Ying, only needed to move his finger a little. After he drank another cup of tea, he coldly said, "The Zhao Family is venomous and narrow-minded. Yet, you treated her like this." One must be wary of her retaliating in the future. "
Xue Ruyun nodded her head. "I have been diligent and obedient to her. She has forbade me in everything. Even if I were to fight her head on, she would still want to harm me." "Since I can''t change the outcome no matter what, why don''t I make her happy?"
Hearing his words, Mu Ying felt helpless.
"By the way, what did you come to me for?"
"It''s nothing. I was just passing by and came over to take a look." Mu Ying was expressionless. As a matter of fact, when he heard that the empress dowager had summoned Xue Muyun to the palace, he had been extremely worried and had hurried over to the palace. However, he was a step too late. Only when he arrived at the palace and heard that the truth had been revealed did he finally relax. He had specially rushed to the Rain Pavilion to ensure that Xue Ruoyun was safe and sound. Now that he saw that she was safe and sound, he finally relaxed.
"Now that I''ve finished, it''s your turn to talk. I would like to hear what omissions there are in this small courtyard. "
Although the small courtyard is filled with mechanical eggs, only very few people would enter. If I don''t enter, I can still harm you, didn''t you think? Upon hearing his reminder, Xue Ruoyun immediately came to a realization.
That''s right, no matter how strict the mechanism was in the small courtyard, she could only guard against the people who entered. If this person didn''t enter the small courtyard and instead placed her body in the poisonous eye, it would be extremely dangerous. She still remembered the last time she was drugged.
When Xue Luoyun realized this, he immediately clasped his hands together, "Your suggestion is truly too good. Seizing the crown prince''s foresight and foresight, I admire you, and I admire you."
In the next few days, the entire Western Lion Country found out about Xue Ruoyun''s bravery in saving the crown prince. Xue Lian''s painting naturally quickly understood the entire process of that day. For this matter, she was extremely resentful. She was worried that the crown prince would change her opinion of her even more because of her rescue this time. Even more so for Xue Lian, who was worried that she would get what she wanted. She used her friendship with the crown prince to visit the crown prince every day.
Mu Zhuo had been thinking about Xue Luoyun''s expression and smile ever since he had fallen asleep after he had been rescued by him. He took out the silk handkerchief from his bosom and repeatedly stroked it with his hand. As he thought back to the time when Xue Ruyun had carefully wiped his face, a sweet feeling welled up in his heart.
He had been looking forward to seeing her every day, simply looking forward to the day. Every time he heard footsteps outside, he would happily look towards the door. However, it was always Xue Lian who drew. Every day, Xue Lian cooked him some delicious chicken soup. However, his illness was not suitable to drink these oily things. Furthermore, every time Xue Lian drew it, he would either intentionally or unintentionally probe whether he had good feelings for Xue Ruyun. Other than that, he would talk about some small matters concerning his daughter''s family. As time passed, Mu Zhuo became more and more bored. However, Xue Lian was too obsessed with painting that Mu Zhuoyun could not bear to explain to her directly even though he no longer had her in his heart.
