Noble First Daughter-in-law

For a moment, the palace fell silent.

Shang Ruyi clearly saw that Chu Yang's face was gradually becoming gloomy, especially the cold light flickering in those slender phoenix eyes was countless times colder than before. The extreme cold in his eyes froze.

She could only clenched her hands tightly under the quilt to keep herself from trembling so badly.

After a while, Chu Yang suddenly chuckled.

He said: "I know."

Shang Ruyi was a little caught off guard when he saw the expression on his face become relaxed and happy. He got up and walked to the side and opened the window, and a gust of fragrant and warm wind blew into the hall, filling the hall almost instantly. The cold air that filled the space was blown away.

Then Chu Yang said: "Who captured the Eastern Capital? Liang Shide? Or the mob in Wanggangzhai?"

"It's them together."

"Together?"

Chu Yang sneered and said, "I asked Yu Wenye to attack Wang Gangzhai, but he returned without success, right?"

"...!"

Hearing that name unexpectedly, Shang Ruyi's heart skipped a beat uncontrollably.

She felt a little ridiculous.

Now, isn't he thousands of miles away from him?Why, just hearing his name, I still feel a pain in my heart?
Just when she was pale and silent, Chu Yang seemed to feel something, and turned to look at her.

Under his sharp gaze, Shang Ruyi could only lower his head, and said softly: "Before he dispatched troops, Wanggangzhai had already sent people to the city as an internal response. When His Majesty left the Eastern Capital, the brigade also left, and the Eastern Capital was on guard. When it was empty, Liang Shide's army attacked the city, and those people joined forces inside and outside, and the east was lost."

Chu Yang had an ugly expression on his face.

That expression, as if someone had cut a bloody piece of flesh from his heart with a knife, but he could only watch, unable to do anything.

He turned around and looked out the window again.

And Shang Ruyi looked at his back and said softly: "Your Majesty—"

"Shang Ruyi,"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chu Yang's cold voice: "You are really like this. You know what to say to make me happy, and you also know what to say to make me unhappy, but you choose the latter, yes ?"

"...No, it's not."

"Then do you know what you should say now?"

"..."

"Do you know what I want to hear now?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi thought for a long time in silence, then raised her head and said softly, "His Royal Highness and King Zhao, they are both safe."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yang's shoulders twitched slightly, and he turned his head to look at her, and his eyes finally regained some warmth and vitality.

He said, "It's good that they are safe."

Shang Ruyi could see that he was not surprised by the news, obviously Wo Xue had already reported it.

She went on to say: "The Empress...is also safe."

Chu Yang's eyes flickered.

After being silent for a while, there was a hint of a smile that was not a smile, a warm and cold expression on that handsome and innocent face: "She has finally fulfilled her wish, and her merits and virtues have been completed."

Shang Ruyi's heart skipped a beat, and she looked up at him.

Chu Yang said: "Why, you still can't see it?"

"..."

"Although she is the queen of the Daye dynasty, she has never stood by my side and thought that until now, she only has a pair of sons and daughters in her eyes. Otherwise—"

He looked at Shang Ruyi with a sneer: "How could she be so courteous to you?"

"..."

"She has always wanted Xinyue to marry Yu Wenye, even if he has already married you, she will not hesitate to let her daughter be a concubine, and even hopes that you can get along well in the future..."

"..."

"I don't understand why she values ​​Yuwen's family so much. Yuwenyuan, Yuwenye, and even Yuwenyi seem to be pillars of the imperial court in her eyes,"

Speaking of this, a cold light flashed in his eyes: "But I never believed them."

Shang Ruyi's heartbeat was a little heavy, and he looked at Chu Yang with difficulty: "I, I am also a member of the Yuwen family. Does your majesty never believe me?"

Chu Yang said: "You are not."

"I--"

"You are the one chosen by me. Now, aren't you by my side?"

Shang Ruyi's heart trembled unconsciously.

At this time, Chu Yang seemed to have sensed her silence, turned around and walked over slowly, looked into her absent-minded eyes, remained silent for a while, and said, "What are you thinking about?"

Shang Ruyi shook her head lightly: "Nothing."

Chu Yang frowned, "Are you thinking of Yu Wenye?"

"..."

"Are you still thinking about him?"

Shang Ruyi felt a little funny in his heart.How could I miss him? Instead of trying to think about him, I might as well think about how to break the predicament in front of me.So, she looked up at him slowly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, do you still want to go back to the Eastern Capital?"

Chu Yang's eyes flickered.

He immediately said: "Of course, I don't want to, but I will definitely go back."

"That--"

"It's just that I'm in Jiangdu, and I still have some things to do. When I finish those things, I will naturally send my army north again, just like when I went south to destroy Chen, and I will finish my work in one battle!"

"..."

"Dongdu, will definitely return to my hands!"

Shang Ruyi raised her head and looked at him, no matter what happened around, no matter how many people died where he couldn't see, no matter whether it was rebels or ordinary people who died, no matter whether it was a fire or a flood. Monstrous, he is always so high-spirited, as if he can make everyone kneel at his feet as long as he wants to.

However, Jiangnan's overly gentle and humid air made his words lose some sharpness.

"by that time,"

Chu Yang slowly sat down on the side of the bed again, looked at Shang Ruyi's bright pupils flickering behind her drooping eyelashes, and said, "You go back with me."

"..."

Shang Ruyi suddenly felt very tired.

She couldn't say any more words, and she didn't even know what else to say, so she could only nod slightly.

There was a little smile on Chu Yang's face.

He stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch her, but before his fingertips touched Shang Ruyi's cheek, he was startled by her sudden shrinking movement, and the hand froze for a moment, but he slowly put it back.

Then he stood up: "you rest."

"..."

"In the past few days, take good care of your body. I will accompany you when you recover. The scenery here is very good. When the time comes, I will accompany you to see it."

Shang Ruyi said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chu Yang turned and left.

When he was leaving, another burst of cold fragrance came from the raised sleeves, hitting Shang Ruyi's face, and for the first time there was a sad breath, and Shang Ruyi also saw that there was a smile on his face from the sleeves. His hand seemed to be wrapped with a bandage, but it was only exposed for a short moment before disappearing before his eyes.

Shang Ruyi let out a long sigh, and tilted his head back feebly.

Jiangnan... Magnolia sculls, the Jiangnan where green birds sing in spring, is there really only good scenery here?

|
For the next few days, Shang Ruyi stayed in this palace to recuperate.

In fact, she can only cultivate here. Although she didn't experience any bloody disasters this time when she went south, she didn't even have a scratched wound, but the long-term hunger and drug addiction made her physically and mentally exhausted. She still suffered a huge loss. She ate soup for several days, and all kinds of precious supplements and medicinal materials were sent to her room as if free of money. Finally, after a few days, she was able to move freely and eat and drink normally. .

In the past few days, she has not seen Wo Xue.

She was a little worried that Chu Yang would kill her anyway, and only after asking Eunuch Yu did she find out that Wo Xue had saved her life at her request, but because of her mistake, she was still beaten dozens of times.

Such a young and slender girl was beaten with dozens of sticks, and she lost half her life if she was not dead.

Seeing Shang Ruyi's worried expression, Eunuch Yu said with a smile: "She is the person protected by Madam, so His Majesty will not really want her life. The dozens of sticks are indeed punishment, and they are also for others to see." of."

As he spoke, he sighed again, and said, "Your Majesty really cares about Madam's affairs."

Focus on...?
These two words made Shang Ruyi feel uncomfortable.

She said shyly, "Don't father-in-law know my identity?"

Eunuch Yu often came to take care of her these days, and the two were already acquainted. Shang Ruyi felt that although this servant was good at calculating, he was not bad-hearted, and besides obeying his will, he also cared a little extra for him.So the two of them can still talk from time to time.

Eunuch Yu glanced at her, his expression seemed a little embarrassed, and he smiled wryly, "Who doesn't know."

"..."

"But, you know, so what?"

"..."

"Since Madam has already arrived at Jiangdu Palace, don't think about other things, take good care of your body, and in your spare time—it may be good for Madam to persuade Your Majesty."

Persuasion?

When Shang Ruyi heard these two words, his heart seemed to be a little touched.She looked at Eunuch Yu and said softly: "Your Majesty has not shown up recently, isn't he dealing with government affairs?"

Eunuch Yu glanced at her and said nothing.

Shang Ruyi seemed to sense something, and asked again: "Eunuch Yu, how is the situation here in Jiangdu, please let me know."

Eunuch Yu still didn't speak.

Shang Ruyi frowned, and said, "Jiangdu, is it still safe?"

Eunuch Yu didn't say a word, but there was finally a faint crack on his face that always kept a smile, as if the smile couldn't keep up with the uneasiness in his heart.

At this moment, a little eunuch came in with a flustered expression, and said a few words to Eunuch Yu in a low voice, and Eunuch Yu's face changed drastically when he heard that, and he said in shock: "How could such a thing happen?! "

Shang Ruyi listened to him, and his heart skipped a beat—what happened?
The little eunuch said: "Eunuch, what should I do?"

"This kind of thing must be reported to His Majesty immediately!"

Having said that, Eunuch Yu was in trouble again, hesitantly said: "Yes, but Your Majesty now—"

Just when he was sweating profusely, he suddenly turned his head and saw Shang Ruyi beside him, his eyes lit up immediately, he grabbed her like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, and said eagerly: "Ma'am, this time I have rely on you."

"what?"

Before Shang Ruyi could react, she was dragged away.
