"Come on, go search the General's Mansion immediately." Zhou Chengyi ordered in a deep voice.

Immediately, someone took the order and took people to the general's mansion to search for evidence.

Lin Ruyi knelt on the hard floor, her knees hurt a little, and she kept her waist upright. She still couldn't take it anymore. There was a thin layer of sweat on her back, and her waist was sore.

Zhou Chengyi glanced at Lin Ruyi, and suddenly said, "Get up and answer."

Lin Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly kowtowed to thank her.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." She slowly got up from the ground, and continued to stand by the side to obey orders.

After all, there is still a distance from the palace to the general's mansion, and it will take at least two hours to search and return.

Lin Ruyi thought that if she had to stand here for two hours, her legs and waist would be useless.

But now that she is a suspect, and the emperor himself is interrogating her, it would be nice not to let her kneel for two hours, so I can only grit my teeth and insist.

Fortunately, only ten minutes had passed, and Zhou Chengyi had other urgent matters to deal with, so he asked her to wait in the side hall just now, and continue to interrogate her when the searchers returned.

Of course Lin Ruyi wished that she could at least sit and rest over there instead of standing for an hour or two.

But when she went out, she felt that the emperor's attitude towards this matter was not particularly serious, nor was he very harsh on her. Although he called her to the palace for interrogation in person, he did not embarrass her, let alone punish her.

On the contrary, she felt that the emperor seemed to be just going through the motions and didn't take it seriously at all.

After having this conjecture, she was not so nervous, but she was not completely relaxed either. After all, this was just her own guess.

When they returned to the side hall just now, the two maids were still guarding, and no additional manpower was sent.

They can move freely in the side hall, no one cares about them.

Lin Ruyi became more and more sure that the emperor was just putting on a show and would not really do anything to her.

Eunuch Wen went to deliver the imperial decree. They haven't had dinner yet, and they are a little hungry now.

But this is the palace, she is still a suspect, of course she can't ask for food, she can only drink two more glasses of water to satisfy her hunger.

But if she drank too much water, she wanted to go to the latrine.

Fortunately, she was not restricted from going to the latrine, but one of the maids followed her all the time.

This is nothing to her, since she can't run anyway, so follow along.

After going to the hut, he continued to wait in the side hall.

Because it was not convenient to chat here, and there was nothing else to do, Lin Ruyi was tired from waiting, and took a nap on the table.

Chunlu has been guarding her by the side, afraid that she will accidentally fall down.

Lin Ruyi only slept for a short while before waking up again, and then continued to sit on the chair and wait.

She didn't know how long she had waited, and finally saw Eunuch Wen coming again, saying that the emperor sent a message, saying that no poison was found in the general's mansion, and that General Chu had done a good job in defending against the enemy, and she was pregnant again, so he punished her Confinement at home for half a month, now go home and think about the past.

When Lin Ruyi heard the result, she really couldn't laugh or cry, the emperor was too careless to go through the motions.

It's equivalent to calling her to the palace to stay for a few hours, so let's forget about it.

I don't know if the emperor never believed in Huo Tingxue, or because he looked at Chu Jieyi's face and didn't make things difficult for her.

But no matter what, Huo Tingxue didn't succeed in this bitter plan. I don't know if she will die of anger if she finds out.

The emperor has issued an order, so she naturally has to obey the imperial order and go home immediately to ground her feet for 'reflection'.

It was just such a toss, and it was already very late when she returned home.

However, everyone in the General's Mansion hadn't rested yet, they were all waiting for her to come back, including the three children.

When he saw her coming back, he immediately ran over and surrounded her.

"Mother, are you okay? Is the emperor fierce?" Chu Anan looked at Lin Ruyi and asked.

Chu Zixuan and Chu Zijun also looked at Lin Ruyi with worry in their eyes.

"I'm fine. The emperor is not very fierce, but he is very serious and scary. Why are you still awake? Have you had dinner yet?" Lin Ruyi asked with a smile, looking at the three children.

The three children shook their heads, and Chu Zijun said: "We didn't eat, we are worried about mother, we have to wait for mother to come back before eating. Mother, why did the emperor ask you to go?"

"Children don't ask questions about adults. I haven't eaten yet, so the executives will immediately ask the kitchen to prepare meals. After eating, everyone can rest." Lin Ruyi instructed Gao Wenchang who was next to him.

"Yes." Gao Wenchang nodded immediately.

Seeing that Lin Ruyi came back safe and sound, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now the imperial guards came to search the house with the Imperial Forest Army, and he was also taken aback. He wanted to get some money and ask about Lin Ruyi's situation, but the other party didn't agree. He thought the matter was very serious and was very worried all the time.

But seeing that Lin Ruyi came back and nothing happened, she was completely relieved now.

The kitchen moved quickly, and the meal was ready in no time.

In fact, it is to heat up the dinner for the evening, because the masters have not eaten, so the servants naturally dare not eat.

Lin Ruyi took the children to eat together, and told them to go back to sleep quickly, and to get up early to study tomorrow.

After the children had left, Lin Dong found Lin Ruyi and asked, "Little sister, what's going on? What did the emperor ask you to do? Are you really okay?"

Lin Dong's eyes are full of worry, and he still has some fear.

After all, seeing the Son of Heaven was something he had never thought about before, and he was both curious and worried.

"Fourth brother, don't worry, I'm fine. If something happens, can I come back? The emperor asked me for a few words, and then let me go. It's getting late, you should go to rest quickly." Lin Ruyi felt that there was nothing to say about this matter, and it was all over, so she didn't talk to Lin Dong.

Seeing Lin Ruyi saying this, Lin Dong probably told himself that he couldn't help, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go to rest. If you have anything to do, you must tell me. Although I don't have much ability, but I am your brother, no matter what happens, I will protect you."

Lin Ruyi's heart felt hot, she was really lucky to have such a brother.

"Okay, I know, thank you fourth brother." Lin Ruyi nodded and said.

"Thank you. We are brothers and sisters. It is only natural for my brother to protect my sister. My parents and elder brother let me come to protect you. So you must tell me if you have anything to do." Lin Dong said.

"Well, good." Lin Ruyi nodded vigorously.

She returned to her yard, although she was very tired physically, but her spirit was spiritual.

After sending Chunlu away, she went to the warehouse and found her mobile phone, which had a message from Chu Jieyi.

Delicate and touching: My injury has healed, and there is only a [-]% chance of winning a battle tomorrow, but it must be fought. If Yuancheng is not captured, we will run out of food.

Lovely: Are you asleep?Then you have a good rest, don't worry about me, I'm fine.

Lin Ruyi glanced at the time. Just half an hour ago, she hurriedly replied.

I told Chu Jieyi about entering the palace. I didn't expect to wait for his reply, but not long after, the phone vibrated.
