The next day, the emperor learned that Xiao Cairen was the niece of Concubine Wei, and asked the eunuch Wang De to send a decoration to Xiao Cairen. Wu Ruyi stole Queen Wende's favorite mask during her lifetime, and Li Shimin sent eunuch Wang De to search for the mask everywhere in the palace. Wu Ruyi entered the palace late at night and met Li Shimin. Li Shimin was looking at a piece of drawing paper. Wu Ruyi was standing on the back of the drawing paper. Li Shimin was surprised when he noticed someone behind the drawing paper. Xu Hui appeared in time when Wu Ruyi was about to hide. Wu Ruyi pulled aside. Li Shimin found that there was no one behind the drawing paper and thought he was dazzled. Accompanied by Xu Hui, Wu Ruyi left the hall and walked to his residence. On the way, the two talked about some things that happened in the palace. Wu Ruyi had been with Li Shimin in the hall not long ago* Wu Ruyi did not know that the man dancing with Li Shimin in the main hall was the emperor since he had never met Li Shimin. The late Queen's memorial day arrived, Wu Ruyi entered the palace to dance wearing the late Queen's favorite mask. Li Shimin had been looking for the lost mask.

The eunuch deliberately raised his leg several times and kicked Wu Ruyi's hand away. Wu Ruyi became furious and scolded the eunuch. The eunuch was so angry that he took out Wanting to beat Wu Ruyi with just one object, Wu Ruyi reminded the eunuch that the attack must be able to take her life, otherwise she will definitely come back for revenge after she leaves the cell and becomes famous. The eunuch was shocked when he saw that Wu Ruyi was very talkative at a young age and took the initiative to apologize to Wu Ruyi. Wu Ruyi looked calm and asked the eunuch to bring some food to the cell for her to enjoy. Concubine Yang Shu was privately pleased for Wu Ruyi. Wu Ruyi's eclectic style had attracted the attention of Emperor Li Shimin. Li Shimin had long been tired of facing concubines who abided by the rules in the palace. Wu Ruyi's eclectic style was likely to attract Li Shimin's attention. Due to his curiosity, as long as Wu Ruyi escapes from stealing the mask, he will definitely be favored by Li Shimin in the future. Wu Ruyi came out of prison to visit Li Shimin. Li Shimin talked with Wu Ruyi about the late queen. Although Wu Ruyi had just entered the palace, she knew the situation of the late queen very well. Li Shimin had a very good chat with Wu Ruyi as if he had met a close friend.
