Chapter 495: Chapter 495: I’ll Go with You_1
Wei Ruo quickly turned her back.
“Really, you should at least have your subordinates block me when you are changing clothes and bathing!” Wei Ruo said irritably.
Wei Jinyi emerged from behind the screen after changing his clothes.
Seeing Wei Ruo’s back turned to him, he said, “I understand, I will instruct them in future.”
He paused, then asked, “Why are you here to see me?”
Wei Ruo then turned back to him, handing over the Treasury Sword in her hand to Wei Jinyi, who was dressed in white cloud gauze pajamas. She said, “This is for you.”
Wei Jinyi looked at the sword in Wei Ruo’s hand, the reddish-brown scabbard and handle seemed unadorned without much decoration.
Wei Jinyi took the sword and drew it out.
The blade was silver-white, it shone brightly, and was razor-sharp.
Wei Jinyi, who had been using swords for more than a decade, immediately recognized this as an extraordinary sword.
“Ruo, where did you get this sword?” Wei Jinyi inquired.
“I had it forged. The blade is made of special steel that is sharper than ordinary iron swords. The scabbard and handle are made of wood because I didn’t want to add unnecessary weight to the sword.”
Hearing this, Wei Jinyi tightened his grip on the sword.
This was a sword specially made for him by Ruo.
Then Wei Ruo said to Wei Jinyi, “I want to go to Hejian Prefecture. First, I need to look into some business affairs and secondly, I want to let Xu Heyou lay low for a while and find an opportunity to ‘kill’ him off.”
Wei Jinyi thought for a moment and then said, “I’ll go with you.”
“You will accompany me?”
“If you are away from home for too long, it will raise suspicions if anyone from the palace comes looking for you.”
And as a queen, Wei Ruo also cannot stay away for too long without Wei Jinyi’s presence.
“But can the frail and sickly King Rui go for a long journey?”
“There’s a famous temple in Hejian Prefecture, just say that you are accompanying me to pray for blessings.” Wei Jinyi replied.
“Are you sure it’s okay? Won’t this be troublesome? And won’t it delay your work in Capital City?”
“It’s fine, it won’t cause any delay.”
Listening to Wei Jinyi’s words, Wei Ruo couldn’t help but feel moved.
Even though her request was unreasonable given her current status and situation, he chose to support her decision without hesitation.

Mrs. Bai left King Rui Residence with a disgruntled face.
All the way, she blamed Mrs. Yun and Mrs. Mo.
She criticized Mrs. Yun for not being able to help and derided Mrs. Mo for being silent. She gave both of them a good dose of sarcasm.
