I went crazy after dressing as a villainous tyrant

After the situation here with the queen mother was completely under control, in order to let Ning Yi and Qing Li cultivate their relationship, Lan Yao directly suggested that they go to the prison together.

After working in Kunning Palace all morning, Lan Yao returned to Qianyuan Palace at noon, accompanied by Wen Ruyu, who was very useful.

Lunch has been prepared, and although Lan Yao is not greedy for food, she has been ordered to be frugal, so naturally she asked the imperial dining room to cook only a few home-cooked dishes, changing the previous style of extravagance and waste.

"I don't know why your Majesty called the minister here?" Wen Ruyu was still a little cautious, standing in front of the table, slightly raised his eyes to look at Lan Yao.

Lan Yao, the attendant in the house, had already retreated, and seeing Wen Ruyu still standing here, she hurriedly greeted, "What are you doing standing there, sit down!"

Faced with Lan Yao's status gap, Wen Ruyu naturally couldn't be too casual, and said: "I'm afraid this is not very good—"

Before she could finish her refusal, Lan Yao pulled the young master off and said with a smile:

"Why are we still so polite between us! Wen Ruyu, I don't want you to be my talented person. Now I have told you my biggest secret. You are my trusted companion. Don't be so alien!"

"Okay... okay." Wen Ruyu was still a little embarrassed, after all, when this face was still Ning Shu, the humiliation he suffered was really hard to forget easily.

"Sit down and eat together. Although it's not a delicacy, it's enough to have one, and you'll have the strength to do big things after eating!"

Lan Yao pushed the steaming ramen in front of the handsome young master, and said warmly, "Try this ramen. It tastes very authentic. The chef in the imperial dining room is really extraordinary."

Wen Ruyu finally sat down, a little discomfort appeared on his pretty face, and a slight look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Her majesty the queen of a country is actually interested in these folk food, she is no longer the female tyrant who belittled the common people at will......

It's just, how long has it been since he felt this quiet and peaceful atmosphere?
In the past year, he has been ordered in danger. From His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with high hopes to the subjugated king who is retreating steadily, although he has tried his best, he still watched his subjects suffer from the flames of war. Even in the end, he failed to serve the country with his death and became a lowly slave of the enemy.

But he still remembers that on the day the capital was broken, his seriously ill father held his hand in front of the bed, and finally taught:

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

"Yu'er, let's go, take Xue'er, remember, if you want to live, you have to live no matter what... As long as you are still alive, there is still hope..."

He knelt down in front of the bed, grasped the short knife in his sleeve that he used to commit suicide, and burst into tears, but he could only reply: "Okay."

And then, dressed in military uniform and covered in blood, he hugged his young sister and resolutely left the hall, allowing the fire to rage behind him, burying his loved ones.

The words were still in his ears, Wen Ruyu lowered his head slightly, and suddenly the sadness filled the sky and everywhere in his heart.

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

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

"I haven't seen you for a few days. I heard that the entire city of Shengjing knows that Her Majesty, the Empress, has been enlightened by the gods. Now I am going to change my past and become a good emperor. Wen Ruyu, I am sure you are right!"

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 nightmare memories by Lan Yao's praise, but she lost her mind for a moment and murmured.

It wasn't until Lan Yao glanced over that he woke up as if he had just woken up from a dream, regained his poise, and replied in a gentle and elegant manner:
"Your Majesty's compliments, it's just a small matter, as long as you don't disappoint Your Majesty!"

"What's more, if it weren't for the things that benefit the country and the people that His Majesty has painstakingly done, it would be difficult for me to write brilliantly on them and make a small contribution."

Wherever Lan Yao passed by on the way back to Beijing, the deeds of Her Majesty the Empress were being discussed in the streets and alleys. Although Ning Shu had mixed reputations because of the bad things that Ning Shu did in the past, but generally speaking, under Wen Ruyu's single-handed management, her drastic reforms now require enthusiasm and traffic, and they are completely popular.

Under such momentum, she rides the wind and should be able to completely reverse her image of a female tyrant...

"What you did is really good!" Lan Yao saw that Wen Ruyu's mood was not right, but she didn't ask any more questions, instead she smiled leisurely and continued to affirm:
"No matter what happened in 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."

"This is the effect I want!" Lan Yao probably guessed the reason for Wen Ruyu's depression, and switched to another topic: "By the way, today I announced that the court will enforce the rule of law and revise the code of law. Can you hear about it?"

"Well, the sensational effect brought about by this incident spread throughout the palace in just two hours." Wen Ruyu's eyes lit up when she talked about this incident, and she sincerely praised: "Your Majesty's foresight and courage are hard to match in the world!"

"I just think it's not a disaster for my family." Lan Yao's expression was not too disturbed, but she was very happy in her heart, and asked: "So, Wen Ruyu, do you approve of my actions?"

"Naturally." Wen Ruyu nodded, and said frankly: "The king governs the country with benevolence and filial piety, and he should be tolerant of others."

"It is a great injustice for the scourge of genocide to fall on the innocent people who have been implicated. At least as far as I am concerned, His Majesty's initiative to ban harsh punishments and advocate enlightenment is to publicize the interests of the people, not an impulsive act."

When Wen Ruyu talked about this matter, it can be said that he had a deep understanding. After a little thought, he sighed and said:
"In fact, all those in power understand that the family members cannot be harmed, but for them, it is more foolproof to cut the weeds and root them out."

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

"Put yourself in the same vein as others, even if I am in this situation, I will not act as swiftly and resolutely as His Majesty."

"It's embarrassing to be praised so much by you. In fact, it's just a difference in ideas. I'm already very happy that you can understand and support me." Lan Yao waved her hand, not feeling complacent, and said with a hearty smile:
"It's just that in the world I came from, everyone is advocated equality, and there has been no order to exterminate the genocide for a long time!"
