Noble First Daughter-in-law

At this moment, tears of remorse and unwillingness had filled her eyes, and in the dim eyes of tears, she saw that familiar figure slowly approaching, walking up to her, and looking down at her.

In the blurred vision, the only thing that is clear is the pity in Yu Wenye's eyes.

Even though he had never had any feelings for this golden-branched and jade-leaved eldest princess, it was not a lie when he said that he regarded her as his younger sister; and when he saw this charming little princess who grew up with him standing in the court hall, desperately trying to catch something, but was abandoned by everyone, the feeling of panic and despair seemed to seep into his heart through her painful eyes at this moment.

He seldom experienced brotherhood at home, but he experienced it in the strictly hierarchical palace. Such a cute little girl followed behind him, and his brother and brother shouted. Although he failed to soften his heart, it did soften his childhood.

It's just that some things are destined to only stay in those years.

Yu Wenye looked at Chu Ruoyan's crying face, took a deep breath, and finally said, "Take Your Majesty and go back."

"..."

"I will send people to guard the Dayan Temple strictly to protect the safety of the Queen Mother."

"..."

"All things, after this matter is understood, let's talk about—"

After speaking, he waved his hand.

The two servants who were still at the side immediately stepped forward, including the pale Eunuch Cao who had already lost his response. Although they were frightened, they also knew what responsibility they should bear at this moment, so they wanted to protect the little emperor and the eldest princess to leave the Tai Chi Hall.

However, Chu Ruoyan remained motionless.

She looked at Yu Wenye, and suddenly said: "Second brother, you, will you come and see me?"

Yu Wenye frowned slightly.

Chu Ruoyan smiled, as if she was relieved of everything, and said softly, "It doesn't matter if you don't come."

"..."

"If you don't come, I won't wait."

"..."

Yu Wenye frowned even more, thought for a while, and said, "I will come."

When he said these words, he raised his head subconsciously and glanced at Shang Ruyi who was not far away, but saw her silently turned her face to one side, as if she couldn't bear to look, more like she didn't want to listen.

But upon hearing his answer, Chu Ruoyan was neither delighted nor disappointed, but still smiled at Yu Wenye with tears in her eyes, and the flickering tears made her smile even more broken.

She said, "Okay, I will wait for you."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head, hugged Chu Chengfei who was already speechless, and left the Tai Chi Hall with difficulty step by step.

At this point, this matter is temporarily settled.

Yu Wenye slowly turned his head back and faced the people in the hall—if in normal times, seeing Chu Ruoyan, the eldest princess, showing such affection for him, it would definitely cause some disturbances, and what's more, it might cause some troubles, but at this moment, facing this scene, everyone may be surprised or surprised, but they can't cause any disturbances.

When the power of the royal family was about to be replaced, even the marriage of the eldest princess became unimportant.

The world of power is so cold and cruel.

And Yu Wenyuan also witnessed this scene silently, and when he met his son's eyes with complicated emotions, his eyes became a bit deeper; however, he didn't get too caught up in this kind of thought, but took a deep breath, and immediately turned around. When he looked at the ministers in the court again, the courage exuded from him and the attitude of everyone's response were completely different.

Everyone, almost in front of him, suppressed their expressions.

Yu Wenyuan said in a deep voice: "Everyone, this disaster is extraordinary. At the moment when the real dynasty is in danger, I hope that you will strictly abide by your duties and overcome the difficulties together. When this matter is over—"

Everyone looked at him, and their hearts rose to their throats.

Obviously, the "event" that Yu Wenyuan said not only refers to the plague that he is facing, but also refers to the epidemic that is tied to it - the emperor abdicates and the prime minister ascends the throne. As long as the plague is over, the emperor will naturally abdicate and he will be able to ascend the throne justifiably.

by that time--

Just as everyone was staring with bated breath, Yu Wenyuan said solemnly: "Everyone, everyone has their own rewards."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

"Yes!"

"Thank you, Prime Minister."

"I'm sure the prime minister will follow suit."

Some of the people who said these words had been in secret communication with the Duke’s government long ago, and they had a relationship of prosperity and prosperity;

And Ji Hong is the last one.

However, he was also completely different from the previous types of people. Although the event was accomplished, he was not happy, only bitter emotions welled up in his heart. Seeing the joy and encouragement of the people around him, he felt a little more uncomfortable, turned around silently, and was about to walk outside the hall.

As soon as he took a step, he heard someone behind him whisper: "Master Ji, please stay."

Ji Hong stopped, turned his head slowly, and saw Shang Ruyi walking in front of him, and saluted respectfully, Ji Hong smiled wryly, and said, "I dare not do it."

At this moment, Shang Ruyi didn't have time to investigate whether he didn't dare to act, whether it was his current status, or he had already anticipated his possible future status, so he just said softly, "Master Ji... Thank you, Mr. Ji."

Ji Hong still said: "I dare not take it."

Shang Ruyi looked at his bitter eyes, fell silent for a moment, and said, "I have two things to say to Master Ji—I know that what Master Ji said just now may be more painful than the eldest princess who listened to it, but Master Ji is not doing it for his own selfishness, but for the sake of the public.

"...!"

These words moved Ji Hong a little.

He opened his eyes wide, and looked at Shang Ruyi with those cloudy eyes, stared at her for a while, and finally said: "With the words of the young lady, the old man is at ease. Your second sentence, what do you want to say?"

Shang Ruyi said: "Actually, I want to ask Mr. Ji."

"Oh? Ask me what?"

"Why is Mr. Ji so sure that there will really be a disaster today?"

Shang Ruyi took this as a gamble, and it was only because she could barely piece together some causes and consequences. Even up to this moment, the plague had appeared and spread all over the city, and she was still not sure if what she pieced together was the truth;

Why can he be so sure?

Ji Hong's expression was originally relaxed because of her "guarantee" just now, but when he mentioned this matter again, he showed a faint smile. He looked at Shang Ruyi and said lightly: "Why, young lady believes it herself, but you can't let the old man believe it?"

"No, of course it's not."

Shang Ruyi hastily explained: "I, I just think that with Lord Ji's heart... Even if Lord Ji understands the truth that the people are the most precious, it is still difficult for you to say those words; Lord Ji himself is also very painful."

"..."

"What made you overcome that pain?"

"..."

"And what made you change your mind?"

Hearing this, Ji Hong was a little moved, and when he looked at Shang Ruyi again, his eyes added a little more meaning.After pondering for a long time, he finally sighed softly, and then said calmly: "You, you have a cousin."

"...?!"

Shang Ruyi was taken aback.

At this time, a somewhat cold voice suddenly sounded behind her: "You mean——Shen Wuzheng?"

Shang Ruyi hurriedly turned her head to see that it was Yu Wenye, who had already walked behind her at some point, and when she heard the word "cousin", a trace of gloom could not help but float between her brows.

Before Shang Ruyi had time to say anything, Ji Hong nodded, "En."

Yu Wenye said: "What does it have to do with him?"

"He has a teacher, you know that?"

"You mean, Li Tong?"

"good."

Seeing Ji Hong nodding his head with a smile, Yu Wenye frowned even tighter.

Li Tong is the great Confucian in Hedong who is known as the Guiguzi of the world. Shen Wuzheng didn't go home for several years because he worshiped his disciples and worked hard to study. Yu Wenye only found out later that it was because he went to study under Li Tong's disciples that Shen Wuzheng didn't even know about Shang Ruyi's marriage. When he came back, his cousin had become the daughter-in-law of Yuwen's family, and he blamed his parents.

Mentioning this, the gloom between Yu Wenye's brows deepened a bit.

At this time, Shang Ruyi rushed to ask: "Does it have anything to do with him?"

Ji Hong said: "He and I are old friends. Just last night, your cousin visited the house as an old friend, and took out a letter he had just received from his teacher, which was the result of Li Tong's astrology divination. He showed me the letter, and then said a lot..."

Having said that, Ji Hong sighed and said, "It's also him who convinced me."

Shang Ruyi took a deep breath.

It's actually...Shen Wuzheng!

That day, when he and Yu Wenye returned to Shen's house, it was he who calmly reminded them that no matter what the situation in the court was, they should focus on the disaster that Bo Xing had warned in the present world; it was also he who said the words "turn crisis into opportunity" that made him think of using disaster as bait when he was forced by the eldest princess yesterday, and induced Chu Ruoyan to make this big bet with him.

And he himself even went to the door to persuade Ji Hong himself, completing the step of forcing the palace.

Even though Shen Wuzheng didn't even have a single shadow or gasp in today's court meeting, there is no doubt that the whole court meeting seemed to be held under his invisible control.

This, probably is what the ancients said - strategizing, decisive victory thousands of miles away.
