Noble First Daughter-in-law

The sky was covered with ice and snow.

Walking in the messy flying snow that has spread almost to the whole world is no longer a simple word that can be summed up as difficult, but even so, there are still people who are staggering forward with the most difficult steps.

When they finally walked into a dilapidated mountain temple where they could rest for a while, the snow on the bodies of a group of people had almost condensed into ice. Full of broken ground.

And a white and soft hand lifted the hanging curtain of the head hood, immediately revealing a familiar and beautiful face.

It was Shang Ruyi who caused chaos in the entire Eastern Capital at this moment.

She also seemed to be able to feel the shock in the distant eastern capital city. She looked up at the gloomy sky and couldn't help sighing. After cleaning the inside roughly, and lighting a bonfire, I invited her in.

I don’t know how long this dilapidated temple has been abandoned. Even the stone statue of the mountain god is incomplete. There are still mouse footprints in the thick dust on the incense table. Although the cracks in the surrounding walls have been blocked by Jiang Kesheng with straw, But the air was still cold, and there was even a musty smell.

Fortunately, the fire was already kindled.

Shang Ruyi walked over and sat down, the heat from the flames quickly dissipated the chill on her body, but her heart was still extremely cold, even the melancholy condensed between her brows could not be dispelled.

At this time, I heard Wo Xue say softly: "It turns out that this is the plan of the Young Madam."

Shang Ruyi looked up at her and said with a smile, "Are you scared?"

Wo Xue nodded hurriedly, but after thinking about it, she hesitated and shook her head, as if she was afraid that her wrong attitude at this time would arouse her anger, but Shang Ruyi was not angry, and only smiled and said: "It's my fault that I didn't Let me tell you, this matter is of great importance, and I don't want to leak any information."

Jiang Kesheng said: "From the very beginning, Young Madam, you never planned to return to the Eastern Capital?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi was silent for a while, then looked at the young faces around him illuminated by the flames, and said calmly: "Your Majesty said this time that he was going to visit the Jiangdu Palace, but the situation in the north is already in crisis. Even if the eastern capital does not fall, the north is bound to be in chaos. Therefore, Sheng Jia will definitely not come back."

"..."

"But I, our roots, are in the north. Besides—"

Having said that, she paused for a moment, although her eyes were also shining with fire, but there was a sudden almost piercing chill in her eyes.

Tusheer on the side whispered, "What?"

After being silent for a long time, Shang Ruyi said slowly: "This time, life and death are unpredictable."

Life and death are unpredictable, as soon as these four words were uttered, it seemed that another gust of cold wind had blown into this dilapidated mountain temple, making everyone shiver uncontrollably.

When she said life and death were unpredictable, she didn't seem to refer to them who didn't follow.

But...

Tusheer thought for a while, then waved his hand and said, "Hey, anyway, this servant is with Miss, I will go wherever you go. Since Miss won't go back to Dongdu, then just don't go back."

Lying Xue and Jiang Kesheng sitting on the side also nodded repeatedly.

Shang Ruyi smiled.

Wo Xue thought for a while, and then asked: "But Young Madam, where are we going next?"

Shang Ruyi glanced at her and said, "Of course, I'm going back."

"Go back? Go back where?"

"Dongdu."

"Dongdu?!"

As soon as these words came out, all the people in the ruined temple were taken aback. Even Jiang Kesheng, who has always been the most calm, showed a surprised expression. Didn't you say you won't go back to Dongdu?"

Shang Ruyi said calmly: "What I said is that instead of going back to the Eastern Capital, I will go to Jiangdu Palace with Your Majesty."

"..."

"But not going back all the time."

"But,"

Wo Xue showed a somewhat terrified expression: "Young Madam, you let the empty car go back this time, and you didn't go to the Jiangdu Palace with your Majesty, it is already disrespectful, if we go back again, I'm afraid we will be caught and punished .”

Tuscher also nodded repeatedly.

Shang Ruyi smiled lightly, and said, "I said go back, but I didn't go back in a fair manner and be arrested by them."

Chang Wan said: "Then, what shall we do when we go back?"

Shang Ruyi said: "Go and meet Fengchen."

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that even Chang Wan's usually cold face showed a little smile. After all, everyone knew that after resisting the decree and disrespecting, their identities as a group of people actually became "traitors" of the imperial court. , no matter where the emperor went, they were still very dangerous, and only by reuniting with Yu Wenye could people feel at ease.

He is like a mighty giant in the troubled times, the pinnacle of calming the sea.

However, Jiang Kesheng was overjoyed, and murmured: "However, why do we have to meet in Dongdu, even if we go back to Zhuangzi."

Shang Ruyi glanced at him, but said nothing.

She just stood up slowly and walked to the gate of the temple. The wind and snow outside were still very heavy, and she could hardly see anything ten steps away. It was really exhausting to walk in such weather.

She said in a deep voice, "We'll be on our way when the snow is a little lighter."

Everyone said: "Yes!"

But the moment they answered in unison, a huge piece of snow on the eaves above their heads suddenly fell down as if unable to support it, and hit Shang Ruyi with a bang, like a whole piece of pure white porcelain, shattered. all over the place.

She was startled.

After seeing it clearly again, he couldn't help laughing again, feeling a little fussy. After being ridiculous, he looked at the broken snow on the ground beside his feet, and his smile slowly became heavy for some reason.

Almost at the same time, there was a loud bang that shook the entire warm dock.

Eunuch Yu and the other young eunuchs standing outside Nuanwu looked at each other in blank dismay. Although the cold wind was bleak, cold sweat broke out from their bodies.

Because just now, the imperial guards sent a message.

They didn't know what the news was, they only knew that the moment His Majesty heard the news, he ordered to cut off the heads of a whole group of imperial guards, thinking that the white snow on the ground would be sprayed with hot blood Due to the melting, Eunuch Yu couldn't help but feel a little weak in his legs.

What made him even more alarmed was that it was almost time to set off.

A servant carefully walked to his side, and said softly: "Eunuch, do you want to go in and remind me?"

"..."

Eunuch Yu also had a troubled look on his face.

His majesty will not punish him for delaying his trip to the south, but they are the ones who will be punished, but who dares to go in and urge him when his majesty is furious?

At this moment, amidst the rustling snow behind them, there was a sound of light footsteps, accompanied by a weak cough.

Looking back, it turned out to be Empress Jiang, walking down from the eaves carried by several young eunuchs.

I saw that she was wearing a snow-white fox fur. Although the clothes were heavy, she still looked slender. Especially because of her sickness, her steps were slow, and she showed a posture of weak willows supporting the wind. When Eunuch Yu and others saw her, Both like the spring breeze and the amnesty, they all rushed forward to bow down.

Eunuch Yu said: "Why is your empress coming here at this time, you should take care of your phoenix body."

Empress Jiang's skin was already as white as snow, but in the snowstorm, she became even paler, like porcelain that was about to be transparent, so fragile and fragile.She forced a smile, and then said: "I heard that His Majesty hasn't left yet, but it's almost time."

Eunuch Yu smiled wryly, "Yes, yes—something has delayed it."

Empress Jiang said: "Is it about Yuwen's family?"

"..."

Eunuch Yu lowered his head, not daring to answer.

Empress Jiang glanced up at Nuanwu, her tender and affectionate eyes seemed to reveal a hint of helplessness, and then said: "You guys hurry up, don't miss the time, I will go in and persuade the emperor."

Eunuch Yu and the others breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, immediately responded, and then retreated.

After they left, Empress Jiang slowly walked into Nuanwu.

Even though he was about to leave, the warm spring was still flowing inside the palace, and the fumigation made it feel warm inside. However, in such a warm palace, there was a chilling aura constantly spreading, which almost froze the whole palace. .

The source of the breath was the lonely figure standing in the center of the inner hall.

He was still dressed in white, as graceful as an exiled immortal, but this immortal exuded no longer an air of immortality, but a gloomy and cold aura as if he was about to be enchanted; The blanket of the map was rolled out, right under his feet, stepping on Dongdu, which was about to be abandoned by him now.

However, looking at his thin figure, it seems that he was the one who was abandoned.

And in the corner on one side, there is a piece of broken porcelain on the ground.

Just looking at it, one can tell that it should be a porcelain cup that was thrown there forcefully and broke into pieces in a fit of anger, but, among the pieces on the ground, there seems to be something still shining with a little warm light.

Empress Jiang quietly looked at the scene in front of her, finally let out a long sigh, and said, "Your Majesty."

The figure shook slightly.

After a long while, Chu Yang finally turned around slowly. His handsome and flawless face had calmed down, without any expression of joy or anger. Ziwei Palace recuperating? Why are you here again?"

Empress Jiang said: "I heard that it's almost time, but Your Majesty hasn't set off yet."

Chu Yang smiled suddenly, walked to the couch and sat down, lazily said: "Didn't the queen always dissuade me from going south, why now, instead, urge me instead?"

Empress Jiang walked over slowly, and said calmly: "Since Your Majesty has already made a decree, you cannot go back on your word."

"..."

"You have no jokes."

"You are not joking,"

Chu Yang narrowed his slender phoenix eyes, smiled again for a while, and said, "Yes, you are not joking, I should really keep my word, no matter it is for anything or anyone."

For some reason, the almost gnashing of teeth in his words made Queen Jiang's heart tremble slightly.

At the next moment, Chu Yang suddenly stood up and walked to that corner.

Just now he threw the cup in his hand over forcefully in a fit of rage, until now he felt a slight numbness in his arms, and a slight sensation in his numb fingertips.

There was one more thing that he threw out.

Chu Yang squatted down and found it from the debris on the ground——

A small, almost inconspicuous jade pendant.

He stretched out his hand to grab the jade pendant, but he also grabbed the other fine pieces of porcelain in his hand. With a clasp of his palm, his skin was cut immediately, and a tingling pain dispelled the numb feeling instantly. To the heart, can not restrain the pain.

Since he was canonized as the prince and ascended to the Ninth Five-Year Plan, he has never suffered such pain again.

The pain was so great that he could barely breathe.

Chu Yang gritted his teeth hard, his face was grim in pain, his eyes were even more bloodshot and red, looking at the jade pendant whose palm had been stained red by his blood, he opened his mouth and revealed a sinister smile.

I want to take away, even one, I can't escape!
