Noble First Daughter-in-law

Shang Ruyi's heart skipped a beat.

But she didn't say anything, just raised her head calmly, and looked at the word "Wang Gang" on the stone tablet outside the pavilion, which was reflected by the setting sun as if stained with blood.

Shen Wuzheng heard the words and said: "You don't even know about the new emperor's ascension to the throne. It can be seen that this section of the road is dangerous and the news is blocked. I only found out this news after many inquiries, but it is really difficult to know anything about the empress. .”

After finishing speaking, he looked at Yu Wenye: "Second Young Master seems to care about the empress."

"..."

Yu Wenye looked up at him, and immediately looked at Shang Ruyi who was at the side.

He was silent for a moment, and said, "Yes."

Shen Wuzheng's eyes deepened, and his tone became more dignified: "Why?"

But this time, before Yu Wenye could open his mouth, Shang Ruyi on the side had already said softly: "Brother, you probably don't know yet, Empress Empress watched him grow up, and Empress is also very kind to me."

"...?"

Shen Wuzheng turned to look at her in surprise, and said after a while, "Really?"

Shang Ruyi smiled: "What are you doing to lie to you?"

"..."

"So, whether he is a courtier or a junior, it is his duty to care about the empress."

Although her words relieved the situation, the way Yu Wenye looked at her was even more shadowy than before.

Shen Wuzheng's eyes gradually softened.

He said: "Since the second son is worried about the safety of the empress, we can hurry back to Daxing City after this matter is over, and then we will know the situation of the empress."

Yu Wenye only nodded: "Yes."

Shang Ruyi smiled again and said, "Okay, it's getting late, let's hurry up and find a place to stay."

After speaking, the three of them went down the slope together.

Shen Wuzheng went to the other side of the forest and brought the horse that was tied there, while Shang Ruyi walked slowly to the side of the carriage, just as she passed by Yu Wenye and was about to board the carriage, Yu Wenye suddenly whispered in her ear: "I'm worried that she will—"

But before he finished speaking, Shang Ruyi immediately interrupted him: "It's okay."

"...?"

Yu Wenye frowned and looked at her, only to see Shang Ruyi said calmly, "There's no need to explain."

"As one wishes."

"Let's go first, and you won't find a place to stay later."

After speaking, she got into the carriage on her own.

Although the two of them came in the same carriage, because Shen Wuzheng also arrived, Yu Wenye rode another horse to accompany him, and the group joined the people and horses they had left behind before, and then walked eastward for a certain distance , and finally entered Yanyue City when the sun was setting.

Here is the nearest city to Wanggang Village.

Although the world is in endless wars and many cities have fallen in the flames of war, Yanyue City has been prosperous as before. It is not because the government soldiers here are capable, but because there are dozens of temples in the city, and there are many monks. It is like a Buddhist temple. powerhouse.Although the rebels in various places continued to kill, they still had scruples about the monks. No matter what the battle outside was like, this place always enjoyed peace.

Therefore, many people will choose to settle here when they pass by this place where wars are frequent.

After they entered the city, the sky was completely dark, and the lights were turned off early in the city, and they could hardly see their fingers.They walked for a while holding torches, and finally found a temple as a place to stay. After a brief conversation with the abbot and monks, several monks took them to live in the hut behind the temple.

And Shang Ruyi and Yu Wenye were naturally arranged in the same room.

The monk who brought them over put down a basin of hot water and some utensils, and said, "You two, please rest early. I will take my leave."

After speaking, exit the dormitory.

The room suddenly fell silent.

Shang Ruyi stood in the middle of the room, subconsciously looked back, and saw Yu Wenye standing at the door, closing the door with both hands, and then slowly turned around to look at her.

The air suddenly became a little weird.

In fact, even if they didn't get along alone along the way, they were relatively peaceful when they were relatives, especially after the trip to Songzhou, the conversation between the two was normal.But at this moment, the two looked at each other, but there was an indescribable tension spreading between them.

Shang Ruyi subconsciously looked away.

She wanted to go inside, but found that the squatter room was very simple, except for two futons outside for people to rest and kneel, there was only one bed inside.

Moreover, this squatter room is really too small. Yu Wenye's tall body standing at the door seems to have filled half of the room, and his aura diffused, almost filling the whole squatter room, which made Shang Ruyi feel a little nervous. An illusion of no escape.

Could it be - they are going to sleep together in the same bed tonight?

Just thinking about it made her feel as uncomfortable as a needle prick in her heart.

What made her even more uncomfortable was that even if she looked away, she could still feel the gaze of another person in the room looking at her, with a bit of indescribable warmth in the gentleness, and this feeling was so familiar.

Last time, when two people faced each other in the hut of the temple...

She wanted to forget, but some memories were just like needles stuck in her heart, taking root, and she couldn't pull it out, which made her still hurt.

She was a little restless, especially when she was beside this person, so she said softly, "I want to go for a walk. You, you should rest first."

After finishing speaking, he walked past him and prepared to open the door to go out.

But just when her hand touched the door, another hand suddenly reached out, grabbed her wrist, turned her around, and pressed against the door forcefully.Shang Ruyi frowned, and was about to struggle, but was firmly held by a hot body that pressed against her.

As soon as he raised his head, he met Yu Wenye's dark eyes.

He stood in front of her, clasped her arms tightly with both hands, as if he put her whole body in the middle of his body and the door, making her unable to move.

Shang Ruyi's heart beat a little fast, but there was no expression on her face, she just said calmly, "What are you doing?"

Yu Wenye's eyes were stern, but there seemed to be a little flame burning deep in his pupils.

He said, "Are you angry?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi felt a little funny.

But immediately, she felt that the emotions she thought were funny were a little funny.So he sighed, looked at him and said, "I haven't."

Yu Wenye said: "If you say that, then there is."

"..."

Shang Ruyi felt speechless.It is true that although Yu Wenye is not a talkative person, it does not mean that he cannot speak eloquently. On the contrary, if he wants, his words can be sharper than his knives.What's more, if he said no, he could still do it directly, just like the situation between the two of them at this moment - no matter what he did, he couldn't gain the upper hand in front of him.

So she sighed, and said weakly: "Yu Wenye, whether I am happy or angry, that is my own business."

Yu Wenye looked into her eyes: "So, you are angry."

"..."

"Because I mentioned the Queen?"

"...!"

This time, Shang Ruyi couldn't control herself.

She frowned, as if her heart had been stabbed again.

But this time, her subtle changes were clearly captured by the eyes close at hand, Yu Wenye showed a clear expression on his face, he raised his eyebrows, and said slowly: "It really is."

"..."

Shang Ruyi bit her lower lip, feeling that she was ashamed again at this moment, but she immediately took a deep breath, raised her head to face him, and said calmly, "I just don't want my brother to worry about me."

"...!"

Yu Wenye frowned: "What?"

Shang Ruyi said: "You should be able to see that my brother is a very sensitive person, not only in the big things that you men are good at, but also in some small things, he is very careful. Since childhood, he has been the person who cares about me the most. I'm a little unhappy, even if he hasn't noticed it yet, he will know it before me."

Yu Wenye didn't say a word, his brows were furrowed even tighter.

He said: "So, you helped me speak up in front of him, and even helped me to 'cover up', because you were afraid he would find out?"

Shang Ruyi sighed and said, "That's right."

"Is it?"

Yu Wenye narrowed his eyes slightly: "What do you mean?"

Shang Ruyi gave a wry smile, and said, "When my uncle and the others were exiled, I asked you to send someone to help me save them. I made that condition. I will not prevent you from meeting your sweetheart. Not only will I not , I can also help you cover it up."

"..."

"It's just that at that time, I got the wrong person."

"..."

Speaking of this, until now, she still felt a little ridiculous, so she really laughed, but with this smile, she didn't dare to face Yu Wenye again, and just buried her face deeply.

Hot eyes, as if something is about to drip.

After struggling for a while, she finally managed to calm herself down, and continued: "But no matter what, my promise is still valid. Besides, this time, you went south to Jiangdu Palace to save my life, and it is better than sending someone to accompany me this time." To save my uncles and aunts, it takes more. I, I will—"

"Shang, Ru, Yi!"

Yu Wenye said every word, almost gritted his teeth, and interrupted her.

And these gnashing of teeth words also shocked Shang Ruyi's heart, she raised her head subconsciously, only to find that the pair of stern eyes that were close in front of her seemed to be a little red at the moment.

He, angry...?
In retrospect, although there were many emotions between the two of them, she seemed to have never seen him angry. The only time he seemed angry was the last time when she proposed to cover up for him and Princess Crescent. In exchange for when he sent someone to help him rescue the Shen couple.

But this time——

She felt the body close to her body was hot, as if there was a flame burning in his body, not only was it about to burn his sanity, the fire seemed to be about to burn herself.

Shang Ruyi panicked suddenly, and struggled subconsciously: "You—"

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door.
