Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 292 Is it worth it?
Running desperately in the dark night, they finally returned to Zhuangzi at five o'clock.

Fortunately, Shang Ruyi asked Jiang Kesheng and the others to come back first and make preparations, so when they returned to the village, the people here immediately came to meet them, and prepared the room, brazier and wound medicine. Soon, this group seemed to have just People who have made a turn from the underworld are settled down.

When everything settled down and he finally breathed a sigh of relief, it was already Maochu.

Shang Ruyi was sitting in her room, looking at the deep darkness outside the window. Although there were lights far and near, the faint light was not enough to illuminate the room she was in. She still seemed to be in the endless night.

Until the door was pushed open with a creak.

She hurriedly looked up, but it was Tusher who walked in holding a candlestick and a food box in her hand, and said softly: "Miss, you haven't slept yet. I asked the kitchen to prepare some hot soup." And meals. You can eat before going to sleep, and then talk about the next thing after you have rested."

"……Um."

Shang Ruyi ignored the disappointment in her heart, slowly got up and walked to the table, Tusheer lit the candlesticks in the room, and took out the meals in the box one by one.

The things are very simple, and at this time, it is true that there is no more hearty meal.

Shang Ruyi had no appetite at all, just looked at the steam coming out of the bowl, and then asked, "How are the others settling down?"

Tusher said, "Everyone has settled down."

"..."

Shang Ruyi was silent for a while, and said, "Is anyone injured?"

Tusher looked at her across a candle, his eyes flickered slightly, and said softly: "Only, only my uncle, he got three arrows in his back."

"..."

"Fortunately, it's not too deep. I heard from Mu Xian that Hua Ziying probably kept his hand on purpose."

"..."

"He might, want to catch them..."

Shang Ruyi was silent for a while, and then asked, "Where is the empress... the empress?"

The look on Tusher's face became even weirder, and she looked at her and said softly, "The Empress is fine."

"Nothing at all?"

"No."

"..."

Shang Ruyi smiled lightly and said, "As expected, as expected..."

At this time, Tushe'er finally couldn't hold back the doubts in her heart, especially when she saw her young lady deliberately suppressing herself, she couldn't help but feel distressed, so she asked: "Miss, why...why do you protect the empress so much?" ah?"

Shang Ruyi looked up at her.

It seemed that Shang Ruyi's eyes were too calm, but she also felt that she should not be calm at this time anyway, so Tusheer said in a panic: "Your servant, my servant knows that these matters are related to the Queen, I shouldn't talk nonsense... But I, I just find it strange, miss, my lord, why does he care so much about the empress? His wound has just been bandaged, and he didn't even have time to take the medicine, so he went to the empress again."

"..."

"He, why didn't he come to see you?"

"..."

Under the shining candlelight, Shang Ruyi's eyes gradually dimmed.

After a long time, she heard her slowly say in a voice with almost no warmth: "I also want to know why."

At this time, she seemed to feel that the uneasiness in her heart was gradually turning into reality, and the expression on Tusheer's face gradually became serious. She frowned and was about to say something, but she heard Shang Ruyi said lightly: "Okay, you too After working for so long, you must be tired. Go down and rest."

"Miss……"

"I'm tired and want to be alone for a while."

"..."

Hearing what she said, Tusheer had no choice but to look at her reluctantly and exit the room.

Shang Ruyi sat quietly at the table, staring blankly at the constantly flickering candles. After an unknown amount of time, she picked up the warm soup and rice on the table and took a big sip to refresh herself a little. With a little strength and a little heat, he got up and pushed the door and went out.

After experiencing a moment of panic, Zhuangzi calmed down again.

The darkness before dawn is the heaviest, like a black curtain wrapped in people's hearts, which not only makes people unable to breathe, but also makes people unable to break free. Shang Ruyi walked slowly along the corridor in such a depressing atmosphere. The lights in those rooms were all turned off, and it was quiet, only in a separate courtyard at the front, the doors and windows of the house still had light.

Shang Ruyi endured the chill and walked over slowly.

Just when she was a few steps away from the door, she suddenly felt that the scene in front of her was somewhat familiar.

After thinking about it again, she remembered that in Yanmen County, after Yu Wenye was injured, she went to see him.At that time, she also slowly approached his room by herself, seeing him sitting on the bed injured, and Princess Crescent sitting in front of him, crying in distress.

At that time, because of the tenderness he showed, her heart ached like a twist.

But looking back now, what he showed at that time clearly belonged to his elder brother's gentleness, kind but alienated, and even, he has always had that attitude towards Princess Crescent.

It's a pity that at that time, she didn't understand at all. Only now did she understand what the real tenderness in his heart looked like.

Who is it for.

In fact, I should have understood earlier that true tenderness is not a smiling expression, nor a caring word. Everything that can be seen can be faked, but the determination and sacrifice to take good care of a person and not even allow her to be hurt in the slightest. This is the real, deep-seated tenderness.

Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi's footsteps slowed down.

She suddenly felt that she didn't need to come.

At this moment, a low, mournful sigh sounded in the room with the doors and windows closed. Hearing that familiar gentle voice, Shang Ruyi would feel like a spring breeze at ordinary times, but at this moment, she was standing in the cold wind, The blood all over his body seemed to be frozen.

She heard Queen Jiang say in a deep voice: "Feng Chen, why are you so stubborn?"

"..."

"As long as you don't care about me, you will be able to take them away safely. Why do you need to do this? You are so tired that you have suffered these injuries."

There was a long silence in the room.

Then, I heard Yu Wenye whispering: "I can't ignore the safety of my empress."

Shang Ruyi's ears buzzed, but she couldn't hear anything.

The surrounding cold wind was howling, and even snowballs the size of fists were blowing hard on her face continuously, as if someone kept hitting her face fiercely, she didn't feel anything.

After a while, she slowly regained consciousness, subconsciously reached out and pinched her fingers.

Then, she laughed again.

At this time, she even forgot that her little finger was unconscious, even if she wanted to pinch it, she shouldn't pinch it.So, the hands hanging on her sides slowly clenched into fists, clenched tighter and tighter, until the not-so-long nails dug into her palms, and the tiny tingling pain finally made her find herself.

Then, she heard Queen Jiang's long sigh resounding in the room.

"You child..."

And the person opposite her didn't know how she felt when she heard this sentence at this moment, but Shang Ruyi seemed to be able to feel it, so she almost held her breath and followed the person in the room in silence for a long time before finally He heard him say in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, rest well."

Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of footsteps inside, getting closer.

Then, the door opened.

The flickering candlelight in the room clearly outlines his tall and strong figure, even the sadness on his face and the astonishment when he suddenly raised his head to meet Shang Shang Ruyi's eyes, but he immediately turned back Close the door and walk up to Shang Ruyi.

"What are you doing here?"

Shang Ruyi raised her head and saw that his eyes had returned to their usual stern eyes. She didn't feel the embarrassment of being discovered by eavesdropping. Instead, she said calmly, "I heard that you didn't want to die. You rescued the empress. I'll come and see you." look."

"..."

Yu Wenye frowned.

He looked at Shang Ruyi, and seemed to feel that "the visitor is not kind", so he said, "If you have anything to say, go to my room and talk."

After finishing speaking, I want to walk away.

But Shang Ruyi didn't move, she just looked up at him: "Why can't you say it here?"

Yu Wenye said: "She is very tired. I want her to have a good rest."

"..."

The cold wind was like a sword, piercing Shang Ruyi's body in the chest.

Although her whole body was so cold that she lost her senses, she still shook because of the severe pain. She looked at Yu Wenye and swallowed something forcefully. Although there was nothing in her mouth, she seemed to feel something in her throat. A little fishy taste.When her anger finally calmed down, she said, "Let's go."

So, the two left the quiet courtyard one after the other, and went to Yu Wenye's room.

In his room, there was no brazier prepared.

There was a smell of blood in the air, and after lighting the candlestick on the table, Shang Ruyi saw the blood-stained gauze piled up on the ground, and there was a copper basin at his feet, the water in it had been stained red with blood, obviously As soon as he returned to Zhuangzi, he immediately treated the arrow wound on his body here.

He was hit by three arrows, and it wasn't a penetrating wound.

Pulling out arrowheads, stitching up wounds, wound medicine, and bandaging, this set of methods can kill half a person, but he didn't even rest for a moment, and then went to care about others.

Shang Ruyi turned her head again, only to see that although he was wearing a thick fur coat, there was clearly only a close-fitting underwear inside, and the thick gauze wrapped around his body could be faintly seen.

And his face was also pale, with no trace of blood on his lips.

Shang Ruyi felt sorry for her, but at this moment, she didn't know whether she was feeling sorry for him or herself.

"Does it still hurt?" she asked.

"..."

Yu Wenye's eyebrows twitched slightly, as if this question came not only for no reason, but also caught off guard.He looked down at Shang Ruyi, and said in a tense tone, "It doesn't hurt."

"Oh……"

Shang Ruyi nodded slightly.

Then, she looked up at him again. Under the dim candlelight, those bright eyes were as sharp as a blade, looking straight into his heart.

"Is it worth it?" she asked.
