After the situation was completely controllable when the Queen Mother arrived, in order to let Ning Yi and Qingli cultivate their relationship, Lan Yao directly suggested that the two go to the prison together.

After a busy morning in Kunning Palace, it was noon before Lan Yao returned to the Qianyuan Palace, accompanied by Wen Ruyu, who was very useful.

Lunch has been prepared, although Lan Yao is not greedy for appetite, she has long been instructed to be economical, so naturally the imperial dining room only makes a few home-cooked dishes, changing the previous extravagance and waste.

"I don't know what His Majesty called the ministers to come to?" Wen Ruyu was still a little restrained, he stood in front of the table and raised his eyes slightly to look at Lan Yao.

Lan Yao, the attendant in the house, had already retreated, and now seeing that Wen Ruyu was still standing here, he hurriedly beckoned: "What are you doing standing, sit!" ”

Wen Ruyu faced Lan Yao with a gap in identity, so naturally she couldn't be too casual, and said, "I'm afraid this is not very good-"

Before the words of refusal were finished, Lan Yao dragged the young brother who was holding it down, and said with a smile:

"Why are we so polite to each other! Wen Ruyu, I don't want you to be my talent, now my biggest secret has been told to you, you are a companion I can trust, don't be so outside! ”

"Good...... All right. Wen Ruyu was still a little cramped, after all, when this face was still Ning Shu, the humiliation he suffered was really hard to forget.

"Sit down and eat together, although it's not a mountain delicacy, but it's almost enough to have one, and you have the strength to do big things after eating!"

Lan Yao pushed the steaming ramen in front of the handsome son, and said enthusiastically: "You taste this ramen tastes very authentic, and the cook in the imperial dining room is really not ordinary." ”

Wen Ruyu finally sat down, and there was a slight discomfort on his good-looking face, and there was a slight surprise in his eyes.

Her Majesty, the Empress of a dignified country, would be interested in these folk food, she is really no longer the female tyrant who casually despised the people......

It's just that how long has he not felt this quiet and peaceful atmosphere?

In the past year, he has been ordered to be in danger, from the highly-expected prince to the defeated monarch, although he has done his best, he still watched his subjects suffer from the war, and even in the end, he failed to repay the country with death and became a lowly slave of the enemy.

But he still remembered that on the day of the destruction of the capital, his father, who was seriously ill, took his hand in front of the bed, and finally taught:

"It's my father... My father failed to keep my Dongchen's century-old foundation, and it was the karma that my father committed when he was young and received retribution, Yu'er, I don't blame you... I don't blame you, I really don't blame you. ”

"Yu'er, you go, take Xue'er away, remember, to live, no matter what...... As long as you are alive, there is hope......"

He knelt down in front of the bed, held the short blade in his sleeve, and tears rained down, but he could only reply: "Okay." ”

Then, dressed in military uniform and covered in blood, he resolutely left the hall with his young sister in his arms, allowing the flames to fly behind him and bury his loved ones.

The words were still in her ears, Wen Ruyu lowered her head slightly, and her heart suddenly swelled with sorrow all over the world.

He became a deserter, became a prisoner, and wanted to die countless times, but he couldn't forget the last entrustment and promise, so he endured all the pain and despair and came to the present step by step.

Until I met her, I met the one who pulled herself out of the sea of suffering......

"I haven't seen you for a few days, I heard that now the entire Shengjing City knows that my majesty the empress has been educated by the gods, and now I want to change my life and become a good emperor, Wen Ruyu, I really didn't mistake you!"

When Wen Ruyu fell into the confusion of the past, Lan Yao praised without hesitation.

"Am I really doing well?"

Wen Ruyu was pulled out of her nightmarish memories by Lan Yao's praise, but she lost her mind slightly for a moment and muttered.

It wasn't until Lan Yao's eyes swept over that he woke up like a dream, regained his composure, and replied gently:

"Your Majesty's false praise, it's just a little thing, it's good that you don't disappoint Your Majesty!"

"What's more, if it weren't for the things that Your Majesty had done to benefit the country and the people, it would be difficult for me to make a small contribution to it."

Everywhere Lan Yao passed by on her way back to Beijing, the streets and alleys were talking about her deeds as Her Majesty the Empress, although she had a mixed reputation because of the bad things that Ning Shu had done in the past, but on the whole, under Wen Ruyu's single-handed management, now her drastic reform is to be hot, to have traffic, and to be completely popular.

With such momentum, she rode the wind and should be able to completely reverse her image as a female tyrant......

"You're doing just a good job!" Lan Yao saw that Wen Ruyu's mood was wrong, but she didn't ask more, but smiled leisurely and continued to affirm:

"Regardless of the past, during the time I went to Selangor, you perfectly promoted the development of public opinion in Shengjing City and laid a good foundation for me to build momentum."

"That's what I want!" Lan Yao probably guessed the reason for Wen Ruyu's low mood, and switched to another topic: "By the way, today in the court, I announced the implementation of the rule of law and the re-revision of the legal code, have you heard of it?"

"Well, the sensational effect of this matter spread throughout the palace in just two hours." Wen Ruyu's eyes lit up when she talked about this, and she sincerely praised: "Your Majesty's vision and courage, there is no match in the world!"

"I just don't think it's a disaster for my family." Lan Yao's expression didn't have too many waves, but she was very happy in her heart, and asked, "So, Wen Ruyu, do you approve of my approach?"

"Nature." Wen Ruyu nodded and said frankly: "The king governs the country with benevolence and filial piety, and he should have a tolerant heart."

"The scourge of exterminating the race, falling on the innocent people who are involved, is a great grievance, at least as far as I am concerned, Your Majesty's initiative to ban harsh punishment and harsh laws and advocate education is for the sake of proclaiming the people's plan, not an impulsive act."

Wen Ruyu talked about this matter, it can be said that he has a deep understanding, he thought about it slightly and then sighed and said:

"The reason why the disaster does not affect the family, in fact, all the people in power understand it, but for them, it is more foolproof to cut the grass and eradicate the roots."

"Therefore, no one wants to go against the ancestral etiquette to do such a thankless thing, so what Your Majesty has done is commendable."

"Pushing myself and others, even if it is me, in this situation, I will not be as resolute as Your Majesty."

"I'm embarrassed to be praised by you like this, in fact, it's just a difference in ideology, I'm very happy that you can understand and support me." Lan Yao waved her hand, and she didn't flutter because of this, and said with a hearty smile: .

"It's just that in the world where I came, the Lord advocates equality for all, and there has long been no order to exterminate the clan!"
