Noble First Daughter-in-law

Although the entire Daxing City was shrouded in a sense of tension that was about to rain, there was no wind at this time, and heavy but not messy footsteps could be clearly heard in the wide corridors inside the palace wall The sound approached slowly.

It was Shang Ruyi's footsteps.

Eunuch Cao, who was leading the way in front of her, walked quickly but lightly. This is a skill that most of the servants walking in the palace possess. You can clearly see the faces of the people behind you.

This is also the ability of the servants in the palace to survive.

At this moment, he saw the general's wife in the center of the storm walking with a thoughtful and dignified expression.

I don't know if she is thinking about His Majesty who will meet soon, or about the general who just parted with her outside the Hanguang Gate.

Thinking of that great general, Eunuch Cao shuddered suddenly.

Just now, their carriage stopped outside the gate of Hanguang——Before, when Eunuch Cao invited the general to enter the palace, he had to bring his wife with him, so this time, Eunuch Cao almost took it for granted that the general’s wife entered the palace I thought that the general would definitely go with me. In fact, before leaving the palace, the eldest princess did indeed order so.

Unexpectedly, only the general's wife got off the carriage.

Eunuch Cao was a little surprised. He took a sneak peek into the carriage, and saw that in the dimly lit carriage, the already burly and burly general was sitting inside, as fierce as a mountain, but motionless.He couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, but felt a pair of stern eyes emitting a sharp light, just one glance was enough to make people feel terrified. Eunuch Cao was so frightened that he didn't even dare to breathe again, and hurriedly took a step back.

Then, I heard the general's wife say to the carriage: "I'm going."

There was still no word in the car.

However, that kind of invisibility spread from the carriage, covering almost all of them with a feeling of coercion, which was still overwhelming. Eunuch Cao couldn't even play the "listening to the wall" that he was usually good at. When I was almost suffocated, I barely heard the general's wife seem to say something like "trust me", "the final choice is still yours".

After some time, the people in the carriage waved to her.

Only then did the general's wife turn around and enter the Hanguang Gate together with him, and even so, after walking a long way, Eunuch Cao could still feel the sharp sword-like eyes behind him, almost piercing his body, making him He didn't have the heart to think about anything else along the way.

It was also because of this that Shang Ruyi got the peace for a while.

She finally clarified some of her thoughts and emotions, and she also wanted to understand one thing. The confrontation between her and the eldest princess in the past two days was indeed a confrontation, and Chu Ruoyan was not completely steadfast. People are staring at her, once she reveals her weakness, she will immediately send someone to summon her into the palace
That is, as it is in front of you.

So she knew very well that her uncle was her weakness. She knew that when she saw Shen Shiyan, she would do nothing to save her relatives. This time was the best time to negotiate!
Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi sighed lightly.

Although she knew it shouldn't be, Shang Ruyi couldn't help but recall the first time she saw Princess Xinyue—at that time, she was crying in front of Yu Wenye with tears in her eyes, but even though she had tasted everything In terms of emotional pain, she never thought of using power to overwhelm others. Instead, she was so close to herself, even with a bit of flattery.

But now, she is completely different from that humble woman in love before.

What is it that made her become what she is now?

Is it yourself?Is it Yu Wenye?

However, his and Yu Wenye's attitude towards her has never changed. What has really changed is this ever-changing world...

Before they knew it, they passed Xuande Gate, and walking forward, it was a place that Shang Ruyi had never been in in the Daxing Palace. The scenery became more and more unfamiliar, and the oppressive atmosphere became more and more heavy.

Finally, they came to a tall and majestic palace gate, which was even taller and majestic than the Hanguang Gate, like a hill standing in front of them, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression. Ye's sense of oppression was somewhat similar.Shang Ruyi felt more and more shortness of breath and heavy heartbeat, she slowly raised her head and looked towards the palace gate ahead.

Xuanwumen!
These three large characters dripping with ink were like three heavy punches, hitting her heart fiercely.

"Well!"

Shang Ruyi only felt a dull pain in his heart, and subconsciously let out a soft snort.

That Eunuch Cao had sharp eyes and ears, and immediately saw the pale face of the general's wife, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Ma'am, what's wrong with you?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi didn't speak, and couldn't speak, just clutching his chest, panting heavily.

Xuanwu Gate...

Xuanwumen!
It was the same in the Ziwei Palace in Dongdu before. When she saw the palace gate and approached here, she seemed to be standing in the same place physically, but her soul was pulled away abruptly, and she went through a nightmare. Put the soul back into this body.

Even though he didn't suffer any harm, the pain in his soul spread throughout his body.

Moreover, in Daxing Palace, this feeling is much stronger than in Ziwei Palace before!

Why is this happening?

Seeing her sweating profusely, as if she had some kind of emergency, Eunuch Cao said worriedly: "Madam, is she not feeling well? If so, our family will send someone to call the imperial physician over immediately."

Shang Ruyi took a few more deep breaths, and finally suppressed the inexplicable pain in his heart, and felt that he didn't seem to have any real pain on his body, so he settled down and said, "I'm fine. Father-in-law, please continue to lead the way."

Eunuch Cao looked at her carefully again, and said, "Okay."

After finishing speaking, she continued to lead her forward. Although Shang Ruyi calmed down the throbbing pain of the soul, when she walked through this tall palace gate, she still felt her heartbeat unconsciously disordered until she passed through the palace gate. , leaving the shadow cast by the tall palace wall far behind him, he managed to regain his composure.

And going forward, it was the resting place of His Majesty the Emperor, which Eunuch Cao told them when they entered the palace last time - Liangyi Hall.

From a distance, Shang Ruyi had already seen the tall palace.

Since it is the emperor's resting place, the momentum is naturally different from other places. Shang Ruyi knows that Ziwei Palace was built by Chu Yang according to his own preferences, so no matter it is the Queen's East Palace or his Nuanwu, they all carry the aura of Chu Yang. But the Daxing Palace is different, the builder here is Emperor Wen Chu Yin, he is the real founder of the Daye Dynasty, he is talented, both civil and military, so the palace also carries his Yuan Ting and Yue Zhi's boldness and vigor are convincing.

However, the closer she got, Shang Ruyi couldn't help frowning more tightly.

Because she heard a noisy sound coming from the front, but it was not the noise of people, but the chirping of chirping birds, and when she got closer, she saw that there were many peacocks outside the Hall of Yinyi, There are cranes and even wild ducks and pheasants for people to play with!
Moreover, these birds are not standing there obediently, some are singing loudly, some are fluttering their wings, some are chasing each other, some even fly to the eaves, and the ladies and eunuchs below are chasing in a hurry while shouting anxiously ——

"If the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister see this, it will be fine!"

"Don't worry, the Empress Dowager is fasting, and she won't be back in half a month, and the Prime Minister won't enter the palace for a few days."

"That won't work, hurry up and catch that chicken!"

Seeing these embarrassing and chaotic scenes, the solemnity of Liangyi Hall disappeared, and Shang Ruyi's heart sank even more.

This is the emperor's residence!
Knowing that this has nothing to do with her, it is something that the ministers in the court should worry about, but Shang Ruyi still inevitably felt uneasy, even unhappy, just as she stopped and looked at the situation. In the chaotic scene, a somewhat familiar figure broke into sight.

I saw him chasing a fluttering crane, laughing while chasing, the maids and eunuchs behind him were so frightened that they bowed their waists to protect him, shouting profusely, "Your Majesty, your majesty must not."

"...?!"

That is, His Majesty the Emperor? !

Shang Ruyi took a closer look, and sure enough, that man who was not tall, dressed in a yellow robe, but not half dignified, was the current emperor!

It was also in the past that she briefly met that naughty child—Chu Chengfei.

Saying he is a child, even at this moment, he is already in the ninth five years. This child has just turned ten years old, and he has grown a little taller than before, but not much taller. By the time he arrived, he had lost a little weight, but his childishness hadn't faded away. On the contrary, he was more willful and arrogant than before.Seeing that a little eunuch was afraid that he would fall and stepped forward to protect him, but blocked his way of chasing the crane, he kicked him away and cursed: "Don't stand in my way!"

The little eunuch was kicked to the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, but Chu Chengfei didn't even look at him, and continued to chase after him.

The entire Hall of Liangyi has completely turned into a place for this child to play.

Shang Ruyi's eyebrows were already twisted into a pimple.

At this time, she couldn't help but recall Shen Shiyan's heartbroken words just now in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment—all of this was caused by the man who usually only knew how to play and play with the eunuchs, but sitting on the dragon chair, he only heard one sentence: Disaster starts', can a child howling with fright afford it? !

When she first heard that sentence, Shang Ruyi only felt admiration for her uncle, but now, after seeing the scene in front of her, she really understood the meaning of this sentence.

The world cannot be ruled by such a child.

Otherwise, the Daye Dynasty, and even the entire country, will collapse!

At this moment, a slender figure slowly came out from the Hall of Liangyi, stood under the eaves, and said with a soft smile: "Your Majesty, be careful, don't fall."
