Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 204 Die for him, or for me?
For him, any ethics and ethics are nonsense worth mentioning. As the Ninth Five-Year Lord, he stands at the highest point in the world. If he wants to create a great cause, he naturally cannot be bound by any etiquette and dogma.

He, from body to mind, is infinitely free.

And all these years, the only thing that restrained him seemed to be the little girl in front of him.

He had some charming thoughts about her, but he was forcefully retreated by her tears, so he could only retreat back to the status of "confidant", although for him, this was enough.

But now, it was her who approached him first!
Chu Yang's heart was beating wildly, like a hungry animal imprisoned in a cage. At this time, he finally found a chance to break through the cage, struggling and roaring, and his body was uncontrollable amidst such throbbing. Slowly approach her.

But at this moment, Shang Ruyi's hand suddenly retracted.

Chu Yang was taken aback for a moment, and said, "You—"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Shang Ruyi's retracted arm suddenly stretched out, and that slender white palm suddenly hit his face.

Chu Yang was stunned by this momentary change, and before he could even make any reaction, he felt a gust of palm wind, with a little scent of her own, pounce on his face.

Even his temple hair was blown messy.

Chu Yang opened his eyes wide in shock, looking at the white palm in front of him, before realizing what was going on, Shang Ruyi withdrew his palm again, got up and knelt down to him: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. !"

"...!"

After Chu Yang's heart fluttered for a while, he finally came back to his senses and was furious: "Shang Ruyi, you are bold!"

Her actions just now, even if she didn't really touch him or hurt him, but that action is already a crime of deceiving the emperor. Although Chu Yang is close to her and regards her as a confidant, as the Ninth Five Supreme, where can Can you tolerate someone despising yourself like this? !

And following his angry shout, there was a burst of heavy footsteps outside.

A tall figure walked outside the bead curtain: "Your Majesty, Shang Ruyi disrespected Your Majesty, I will kill her immediately!"

After finishing speaking, the sound of drawing the knife out of its sheath pierced the tranquility here, and Wang Shaoji suddenly opened the curtain and walked in. The shining steel knife had already swung towards Shang Ruyi!

Shang Ruyi was so frightened that she hurriedly raised her hand to cover her head.

Seeing that the steel knife was about to be chopped off, Chu Yang suddenly said: "Stop!"

"...!"

Wang Shaoji's hand froze, and the blade stopped abruptly on Shang Ruyi's wrist. He stared at Shang Ruyi, then turned to look at Chu Yang: "Your Majesty?"

I saw Chu Yang's face was gloomy, his eyes fixed on Shang Ruyi who was kneeling on the ground, trembling, he was silent for a while, and waved his hand lightly: "Back off."

Wang Shaoji said: "Your Majesty, she wants to assassinate Your Majesty!"

"She won't,"

Chu Yang stared at the thin shoulders that kept trembling, and said: "Back off, I will call you again if I have something to do."

Wang Shaoji was speechless, he could only put the knife back into its sheath fiercely, then turned and left.

However, when he walked out of the private room, he looked back at Shang Ruyi again, with viciousness and viciousness in his eyes, even though Shang Ruyi was kneeling on the ground and couldn't see anything, he still felt a chill piercing into his body.

Soon, Wang Shaoji left.

The two people in the private room were still silent, Chu Yang kept staring at the twitching and trembling shoulders, and after a long time, he slowly said: "Explain."

Shang Ruyi still lowered her head: "Your Majesty, forgive me."

"..."

Chu Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "You better explain clearly to me."

Hearing that there was no anger in his voice anymore, but the gloomy breath was still overwhelming, Shang Ruyi slowly straightened up and looked at Chu Yang, and said softly: "Ruyi just wants His Majesty to know, Just now, if Ruyi hadn't withdrawn her arm, His Majesty wouldn't have felt any movement, would she?"

"...!"

Chu Yang frowned, recalling the two times she reached out just now.

"so what?"

"Combat, sometimes it's the same."

"..."

"Sometimes, if there is no austerity and temporary defeat, there is no room for attack. There is a kind of advance, which needs to be done by taking advantage of the situation."

Chu Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at her coldly: "You mean, Yu Wenye's defeat in battle is a method of warfare?"

Shang Ruyi said: "Ruyi actually doesn't know anything about military affairs. Being in the Eastern Capital, it is even more impossible to know the truth about the Xingluocang battle, but Ruyi just wants to defend her husband--temporary defeat may not be the real truth. Defeated, please give him some more time, a little chance, His Majesty."

Chu Yang's face slowly darkened.

He stared at Shang Ruyi closely, and said, "You asked me to give him time and a chance, don't you think he will definitely win?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi took a breath.

At this moment, she still couldn't think of the reason for Yu Wenye's three defeats these days, whether it was because of his lack of strength, or whether he had other plans. Going out of the city, he shot and wounded Ashina Shali with one man's power, defeating a hundred thousand troops.

The earth-shattering moment at that moment, until now, still remains in her heart.

She took a deep breath and said, "I, trust him!"

Hearing this, Chu Yang's face sank, and suddenly showed a trace of stern anger, he sneered and said: "You have done your best for him, even at the risk of your own life, to fight for him. A way out, isn't it?"

"..."

"If I hadn't stopped Wang Shaoji just now, then you would have died by his sword."

"..."

"In this way, you will die because of him."

"..."

"Are you really so sincere to your husband?"

Shang Ruyi's face was pale. At this moment, even though she was in a warm private room, even with a red-burning stove behind her, her whole body was as cold as ice, and even her blood was tinged with coldness. breath.She could only say softly: "He is Ruyi's husband, if Ruyi died for him, she would die without regrets, let alone—"

"What's more?"

"This death is also a death remonstrance."

Chu Yang stared at her deeply, and suddenly said: "To die because of him is to admonish me to death."

"..."

"Then you, are you dying for him, or for me?"

Shang Ruyi lowered his head again.

The tearing pain in her heart surged up again, she gritted her teeth, endured the severe pain, and said softly: "Ruyi doesn't want to die, Ruyi wants to live."

Chu Yang sneered: "Then, who do you live for?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi was silent for a while, took a deep breath, and raised her head. This time, her gaze was much firmer than before, and she said word by word: "I live, I only live for myself."

"...!"

Chu Yang suddenly opened his eyes wide.

This answer was obviously unexpected by Chu Yang, or in other words, unexpected.

He looked at Shang Ruyi with a complicated expression for a long time, and finally heaved a sigh of relief, saying: "If this is the case, then I won't argue about anything."

He subconsciously stretched out his hand to caress his cheek. Just now, Shang Ruyi stretched out his hand to him for the first time. He obviously didn't touch him, but he seemed to feel the touch of skin-to-skin kissing. Only at that point, the numb feeling Jumping into his heart, until now, his heartbeat has not calmed down.

Then, he gritted his teeth and said, "You'd better do what you say!"

After speaking, he stood up and walked outside.

Shang Ruyi subconsciously said: "Your Majesty!"

Chu Yang stopped without turning his head, but said coldly, "What else do you want to say?"

Shang Ruyi said: "Then, at Xingluocang—"

Chu Yang turned his face sideways, glanced at her coldly, and said, "You've already died, if I don't give him another chance, wouldn't I really want to force you to die?"

"..."

"But, just once!"

"..."

"If he sends troops again, if he loses troops and loses generals again, he won't be able to win Xingluo Cang—"

Shang Ruyi's heart trembled, and he raised his head to look at Chu Yang. At this moment, his handsome face was full of murderous intent, and he said word by word: "I will never forgive you lightly!"

After speaking, he walked away.

Standing behind the bead curtain, Shang Ruyi watched the tall and graceful figure disappear in front of her, her whole body was icy cold, as if the blood in her whole body had been frozen into ice by Chu Yang's cold words just now, and it took a long time before she slowly regained consciousness.

She went out with some numbness and went downstairs.

When we got to the first floor, all the guests who had dinner just now disappeared.

Listening to the boss of Crane Tower, they also stayed quietly behind the counter, not daring to look up at her, not even daring to take a breath.

Shang Ruyi walked out of Tinghe Tower slowly, and when she looked back, this quiet restaurant looked so unreal, as soon as she left, it would immediately return to its usual state, and everything just now would be like a A dream, completely shattered, disappeared.

Shang Ruyi turned around without saying a word.

The carriage that sent her was still parked outside, the coachman stood aside, his face was numb, and he said without the slightest emotion: "Please get on the carriage, Young Madam, I will immediately send Young Madam back to Yuwen Mansion."

"..."

Shang Ruyi glanced at him, but said nothing.

She didn't bother to ask the driver's identity. Thinking about it, although the queen arranged for him to pick him up, how could everything in the palace not obey the emperor's orders. No matter how smart and cautious Empress Jiang was, she was no match for the emperor.

Shang Ruyi just nodded and walked over.

But just when she was about to get in the car, she accidentally saw a somewhat familiar figure flashing past out of the corner of her eye.

"Ok?"

Shang Ruyi's numb mind suddenly moved, and she turned her head hastily, but the people passing by on the long street were all strangers.

It's me, am I wrong?

Seeing her not moving for a long time, the coachman came forward: "Young Madam, what's wrong?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi didn't speak, but looked up again, and did not find any familiar figure in the crowd. Thinking about it, she really misread just now, so she shook her head lightly and said, "It's okay, let's go."

So, he got into the carriage, and the carriage quickly left Tinghe Tower and went to Yuwen Mansion.
