Finally, she got the words she wanted, but Shang Ruyi still suppressed the violent heartbeat in her chest, keeping her face calm, although at this time, she could almost hear the sound of her heart beating like thunder and blood rushing.

She said: "Princess, don't you believe me?"

Chu Ruoyan raised her chin, proudly showing a bit of stubbornness: "I don't believe it."

Shang Ruyi said: "If a disaster really strikes, what will the eldest princess do?"

"..."

Chu Ruoyan was speechless.

She wanted to end this topic arbitrarily at first, but she didn't expect that Shang Ruyi's words would be strong, leading her all the way here, and these words were waiting for her, so she completely lost the ability to cope for a while.And when she was at a loss, Shang Ruyi continued to say: "If there is a disaster, then the prophecy of the disaster will not be false."

"..."

"Then, the solution that my uncle's uncle risked his life to offer is not because he deceived the emperor, but because he sincerely thinks of His Majesty."

"..."

"In that case, His Majesty doesn't need to kill him, right?"

When she said this, she completely disregarded the etiquette of a monarch and minister, and looked directly into Chu Chengfei's eyes.And this young emperor didn't have enough prestige and courage. At this time, he was intimidated by Shang Ruyi's pressing attitude, so he couldn't help feeling a little timid, and subconsciously let out an "uh".

Shang Ruyi immediately said: "Okay!"

Without waiting for the person opposite to respond, she continued, "If you don't kill him, you don't need to pardon him, so your majesty doesn't need to dispel the ominousness in the palace through the happy event of bestowing a marriage, right?"

The more Chu Ruoyan listened, the more she frowned.

After a while, she finally figured out a clue, sneered suddenly, looked at Shang Ruyi and said, "Interesting, do you want to pin all your hopes on a disaster?"

"..."

"Just for yourself, you want disaster to happen?"

When the hat was buttoned down, Shang Ruyi's aura sank, and Chu Chengfei immediately frowned and glared at her angrily.

Shang Ruyi thought about it calmly, then shook her head and said, "My wife dare not hope so."

"..."

"The hope of my wife is that there will be no more disputes in the world, and no more suffering for the people. Therefore, my wife will not ignore the existence of disasters, but will only face the possibility of disasters. If you can't prevent them before they happen, you must try your best to resolve them."

"..."

"The courtier's wife believes that no one in this court wants to murder His Majesty, and they are all thinking about the country and the country."

"..."

"However, if Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess ignore it just for a marriage, it will chill the hearts of all the officials."

Chu Ruoyan frowned.

She originally wanted to put a hat on Shang Ruyi's head, and it would be much easier to force her to submit; but she didn't expect that Shang Ruyi would also have a generous statement, saying that there would be no more disputes in the world, and the people would have no more conflicts. Pain, but it made her have no room to say what she said later.

At this time, Chu Ruoyan didn't have the time to mess around with her anymore.

So, the eldest princess took a deep breath, stared at Shang Ruyi intently, and said, "Okay, Mrs. Shang. I don't know where your confidence comes from, but since you want to pin your hopes on this Disasters come to wash away your uncle's sins—this princess can't make you proud of such a vicious mind."

"..."

"Let's just gamble!"

"..."

"When the Bo star appears, the disaster will start. This prophecy cannot be trusted at all!"

Shang Ruyi stared at her with red eyes, and said with a half-smile: "If a disaster really happens, what should your majesty and the princess do?"

Chu Ruoyan said: "Then, I will pardon your uncle!"

Hearing this, Shang Ruyi's eyes lit up a little bit, but she didn't agree immediately, but thought for a while, and then said deeply: "No, it's not a pardon!"

Chu Ruoyan was taken aback.

Chu Chengfei was also dumbfounded—isn't Shang Ruyi struggling for so long just to save her uncle's life?
Why, not even a pardon?

Just when the two were dumbfounded, Shang Ruyi said calmly: "A pardon is a person who committed a crime, and His Majesty is kind enough to pardon his crime; but if a disaster really happens, my wife's uncle risked his life The only way to resolve it is to think of your own life for the sake of His Majesty's country, this is not a crime, but a merit."

"..."

"So, at that time, Your Majesty, please declare my uncle innocent in front of all civil and military officials—"

She originally wanted to say, "The solution he offered is also correct", but at this moment, she only thought about it for a moment, and then temporarily swallowed this sentence, and Chu Chengfei was already a little entangled in these circles. Dazed, he just looked blankly at his sister whom he believed in completely.

Chu Ruoyan frowned at the tip of her spring willow-like eyebrows, thought for a moment, and finally nodded slightly to him.

Chu Chengfei said: "Good!"

"but,"

Chu Ruoyan immediately said again: "Natural disasters and man-made disasters are inevitable. We must have a time limit. We can't say that we have to wait for decades, and disasters will be counted on top of this astrology."

Shang Ruyi smiled lightly and said, "Of course."

"..."

"I heard from the veterans in the court that when the astrology of Bo star appeared in the world, it took two days to find a way to resolve it. Although I found it, I didn't use it. Two days later, Emperor Wen passed away. Only four days. And now we—"

Chu Ruoyan said coldly, "It's already the third day."

"..."

"That is to say, if there is no disaster by tomorrow, Mrs. Shang—"

"I surrender."

"Then, this document in your hand—"

Shang Ruyi frowned slightly, and looked down at the marriage decree that had not yet been transcribed. Although her fingertips trembled slightly, she subconsciously clenched the document tightly, as if she had given herself some strength with this action.

Victory seeks from danger.

What's more, what they want is not an ordinary victory or even a big victory like the victory over Xue Xian's army in Fufeng County, but a real victory that may determine the outcome of Jiangshan Sheji.

Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi calmed down, raised her head to look at His Majesty the Emperor who was still in a daze, and the Eldest Princess who seemed to be a crazy gambler who seemed to have bet all her wealth, and said solemnly: "If I lose, I will go to the meeting tomorrow." , Your Majesty can have this decree read."

"Okay, it's a deal!"

"A word is settled!"

After saying the last word, Shang Ruyi felt as if a thunderbolt rolled over the thick clouds above his head, but when he looked at the people in front of him again, it seemed that no one heard the vibration that almost shook the soul, and he waited until he left. When she left the Palace of Liangyi, and even walked out of the Hanguang Gate, she managed to recover her sanity from the rumble.

But when he raised his head, there was another buzzing sound in his head.

The carriage that sent her was still parked outside Hanguang Gate.

Outside the carriage, a familiar, tall and straight figure leaned against the carriage. The wind blew through his drooping eyelashes, but his expression was stern, as if ice that would never melt for thousands of years stood in the wind. Trembling, not even a trace of emotional fluctuations.

Until he raised his head and looked at Shang Ruyi who was slowly approaching, those cold and calm eyes were finally rippled by the wind.

Shang Ruyi was a little surprised: "Are you still here?"

"..."

Yu Wenye didn't speak immediately, but looked down at her pale face before she had time to recover, and said after a while, "Let's go."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and pushed open the door.

"...?"

Shang Ruyi was stunned for a moment, she thought that since Yu Wenye was waiting here, he would definitely ask her, even if it was just a word.

Unexpectedly, he didn't even have a word.

But Shang Ruyi didn't need to say anything, just looked at him, and obediently followed him into the carriage. Soon, the carriage returned to Yuwen Mansion with two silent people.

At this time, it was getting late.

But when they returned to the mansion, before the two had time to return to their rooms, Xue Daotong, who had been waiting for them, came forward and said that the Duke was waiting for them to discuss matters in the study.Shang Ruyi also knew that there must be this hurdle to pass, so she followed Yu Wenye, who had a serious face, and walked in.

As soon as he entered the study, he saw Yu Wenyuan sitting upright in front of him, and from his gloomy face, he knew that he must have got the news that they had been to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and even entered the palace to face saints.

Shang Ruyi immediately stepped forward to salute: "Father."

Yu Wenyuan didn't speak immediately, but just frowned at her with thick black eyebrows, those deeply sunken eyes were also hidden under his high browbones at this moment, people couldn't see his eyes clearly, only felt a little An intimidating aura permeated around him.

Shang Ruyi raised her heartbeat subconsciously.

After a while, I heard him say: "Today, you have entered the palace to face the saint."

Shang Ruyi hurriedly said: "Yes, it was rumored by the servants in the palace that Ruyi entered the palace."

Yu Wenyuan looked at her quietly for a while, Shang Ruyi thought he wanted to ask something, but after a long time, he only heard him let out a deep breath.

Then, he turned his head to look at Yu Wenye who hadn't said a single word along the way.

Yu Wenyuan said: "What about you, have you made a decision?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi's heart beat a little more violently, and she looked at him cautiously.

After being silent for an unknown amount of time, Yu Wenye finally raised his head slowly, his stern eyes were still calm without any fluctuation, and he said solemnly: "Not yet."

"...?!"

"...?!"

Not only Shang Ruyi, but also Yu Wenyuan showed a surprised expression. Both of them looked at him with wide eyes. After a while, Yu Wenyuan said slowly in a deep voice, "You haven't made a decision yet?"

"..."

"Why are you so indecisive?"

Although Shang Ruyi also guessed that Yu Wenyuan, as the great prime minister, would definitely put his eyeliner in the palace, and everything he said and did in the palace had been passed back to his ears before he returned home, but She was still a little surprised.

What was even more unexpected was Yu Wenye's "indecision".

But he didn't feel ashamed at all, on the contrary, his expression was calmer and a bit more serious.

He said: "Maybe it's because I've never been a good son of Duke Sheng—"

Yu Wenyuan frowned, but before he could speak, Yu Wenye said calmly: "However, the Duke's Mansion already has the best daughter-in-law."
