Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 202 Such a person is easy to destroy

This is the sentence again.

It was almost the same as last time, except that this was not the palace in Ziwei Palace, everything else, even the childlike smug smile in his eyes when he looked at him, was almost exactly the same.

Shang Ruyi was silent for a while, then slowly walked forward, kowtowed and saluted: "I—Ruyi pays homage to Your Majesty."

Footsteps sounded softly, walking towards her.

Shang Ruyi still lowered her head, only to see a piece of snow-white clothes drifting towards her, appearing in sight, and under the corner of the clothes, there was still a pair of familiar, snow-white and luxurious silk shoes.

Above the head, came Chu Yang's lazily laughing voice——

"The one waiting for you here is Yang Random."

"...!"

Shang Ruyi's breath was suffocated again.

After being silent for a while, she slowly stood up, looking at the handsome smiling face in front of her, she could only softly say: "Young Master Yang."

Chu Yang nodded in satisfaction, then waved his sleeves, sat down in front of the short table, and raised his hand to signal her to sit down too.Shang Ruyi had no choice but to plead guilty, and sat across from him, watching him personally pour a glass of warm wine for himself and bring it to her.

Shang Ruyi took it with both hands: "Thank you."

"That's right,"

Chu Yang became more and more complacent, and said with a smile: "It's better for Yang to come and see you. If Yang comes, we can be ourselves."

Shang Ruyi smiled wryly, "Your Majesty...Young Master Yang can be himself at any time."

"Um,"

Chu Yang raised a finger and shook it, said: "I am in the palace, I can only be the emperor, what I say and what I think, will be picked and picked by those courtiers who are always staring at me, it is not as good as that." Wherever they like, they wrote letters one after another, admonishing them, and even killed one of them in front of me, as if I did something that would bring disaster to the country and the people, and it should be struck by lightning!"

"..."

"But what I want to do is obviously a good thing that benefits the country and the people, but these people are short-sighted and can't see it at all."

"..."

"They only care about their official reputation and my reputation."

"..."

"But, what's the use of official reputation and reputation? The canal I built, the Eastern Capital I built, and the Liaodong City I conquered in the future are real achievements!"

Having said that, he looked up at Shang Ruyi excitedly, and said with a smile, "But I know, you understand."

Shang Ruyi looked at him: "Your Majesty—"

She suddenly discovered that although she had been unable to guess the thoughts of the seemingly gentle and amiable empress, it was easy to see through the thoughts of the emperor who behaved strangely and arrogantly.

At least at this moment, she sees it through.

Chu Yang came to her again and again, and even took advantage of the opportunity of the queen to send her into the palace to "rob" her, just to let her understand him.

He has been saying that he wants her to be his confidant, but now it seems that he is not asking others to be his confidant, but he desperately wants someone who understands him, understands him, so that he will not be alone in this world.

I just ran into his sight by mistake... that's all.

Such a person may seem stubborn and determined, but in fact, it is easy to destroy.

Shang Ruyi raised her head and looked at that handsome face with a proud and confident smile like a child, her lips opened and closed slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but her throat seemed to be blocked by something, she struggled a few times, but Can't squeeze out a word.

Chu Yang still looked at her with burning eyes: "You understand, right?"

"..."

After being silent for a long time, Shang Ruyi finally spoke, with a slightly imperceptibly hoarse voice: "...Yes."

With just this one word, it was like the warm spring breeze suddenly blowing in the severe winter, and Chu Yang's whole body and mind felt refreshed. He laughed loudly, and while laughing, he held the pot himself, adding more water to the wine glass in Shang Ruyi's hand. Had some wine.

"Drink some more, this wine is just right now. I know that you must be frozen when you come out of the palace."

"Your Majesty...Young Master Yang, do you know that the Empress will pass me on today?"

"of course I know,"

Chu Yang smiled faintly: "I know what she is thinking very clearly."

Shang Ruyi said: "Ma'am, what are you thinking?"

Chu Yang glanced at her, but his eyes seemed to turn cold suddenly, and said: "Actually, you need to ask more."

"Why?"

"The queen sent you into the palace, and spoke softly to you, naturally because it is profitable for you."

"profitable?"

Shang Ruyi's expression gradually became serious. When she recalled the gentle and kind face when she saw Empress Jiang these days, and these four words were involved, she even felt a chill.

But Chu Yang raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, saying: "You don't have to feel terrible, seeking profit may not necessarily mean harming you, in this palace, no, even in the world, this is the most common thing .”

"..."

"The world is bustling, all come for profit, and the world is bustling, all for profit."

"..."

"Only I have a heart-to-heart friendship with you, not for fame or profit, let alone worry that I will harm you."

Shang Ruyi's mind was heavy because of those four words, but when he heard Chu Yang's words, he couldn't help laughing—as the emperor, who else would he need to make a name for himself?This is simply the greatest joke in the world.

Thinking of this, she said with a faint smile: "Your Majesty's words are quite satisfactory. It's just—"

"Just what?"

"It's just that Your Majesty took all the effort to bring Ruyi here today. Is it true that you didn't plan anything, just to tell Ruyi what you just said?"

As she spoke, her eyes lightly moved to the letter on the table.

How keen Chu Yang is, he immediately understood.

He smiled lightly, and said, "Ruyi, you are really smart."

Shang Ruyi straightened her expression, and said softly: "Your Majesty has a strategy in his heart and the ambition to rule the world, but even a journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step, and the first step of your step—"

When she said this, she paused, but Chu Yang continued without any hesitation: "It's food."

Shang Ruyi looked at him.

Chu Yang smiled lightly and said: "You're right. When I told the civil servants and generals in the court about my plan to use troops against Liaodong again, they shirked it in every possible way. In the end, they could only obstruct me on the grounds of insufficient food and grass. I take my life back."

"..."

"And I had someone thoroughly investigate the granaries in the eastern capital. Indeed, the imperial court can no longer afford to use troops again."

"so--"

Shang Ruyi said softly: "The battle of Xingluocang is related to His Majesty's great cause, isn't it?"

Chu Yang's complexion gradually became gloomy, as if he was unwilling to admit that he would be enslaved by things outside his body, but he couldn't deny it after all, and he could only let out a sigh of relief.

This silent sigh was an admission.

Shang Ruyi's expression became a little more nervous, she looked at the letter again, and then said softly: "Then how is the battle in Xingluocang now?"
