Noble First Daughter-in-law

"What did you say?!"

Shang Ruyi opened his eyes wide. The uneasiness that had been lingering in his heart seemed to have turned into reality at this moment.

She opened her mouth, but did not make a sound immediately. Instead, her lips trembled several times, and a rattling sound came from her throat. After struggling for a long time, she squeezed out a hoarse voice——

"My brother, how are you?"

"..."

This time, it was Wuxue who couldn't make a sound.

It's not that I can't speak, it's that I can't speak, especially when I look at Shang Ruyi, who was originally pale, and now even more bloodless. His whole body is as frightened as a bow stretched to its limit. The next moment, it seems that it will collapse. destroy.

And Wuxue knew that this news would definitely destroy her.

But just when she was hesitant, Shang Ruyi suddenly grabbed her with red eyes and hissed: "Say quickly! How is my brother?!"

"..."

Watching her like this, Wuxue almost burst into tears.

She finally couldn't hold it any longer and said softly: "Three days ago, Changchun Palace was attacked by people of unknown origin. Later, a fire broke out."

"..."

"Master Shen, you haven't come out—Princess!"

One sentence, like a heavy hammer, hit Shang Ruyi hard. She fell down like a puppet that had lost its traction.

Wuxue screamed in fright and hurriedly reached out to support her.

"Princess! Princess!"

Holding tightly by her thin but powerful arms, Shang Ruyi did not fall, but she barely managed to stand still and lost her vitality. She turned her head numbly and looked at this little face that was very close and also pale, He seemed to be trying to squeeze out a smile, but he couldn't. His expression was even more sad than crying.

She said: "You are lying to me, right?"

"..."

"Changchun Palace, even if the Changchun Palace is not heavily guarded, it is still guarded by 200 men and horses given by King Qin, and King Qi is also there. How could something like that happen?"

"..."

"You lied to me, right? It can't be like this..."

Wuxue looked at her. Although he couldn't bear it, the words had been spoken and he could not take them back. The only thing he could do was to tell her the truth.

So he choked and said: "The news coming from the south is that His Royal Highness King Qi must go out of the palace to hunt and take away most of the guards. Therefore, there are only a few soldiers guarding Changchun Palace, and they will be -"

"..."

"No one who stayed in Changchun Palace will survive."

"...!"

A thunderbolt struck from the sky.

Shang Ruyi only felt numb all over her body, as if she had been struck by lightning and turned into powder. However, she felt no pain, only an endless void, no sound, no sense, and even her breathing and heartbeat were lost.

She didn't know how long it took before she heard Wuxue's urgent call in her ears——

"Princess! Princess, how are you?"

"Princess, don't scare me!"

"princess……!"

Shang Ruyi turned to look at her blankly, her face full of anxiety, her cherry red lips opening and closing constantly, as if she had been calling her, but even though she was so close, her voice sounded very clumsy. came from somewhere——

It may also be because his soul has drifted far away.

Shang Ruyi stood there dumbly, as if he were a body without a soul, motionless and without any reaction.

Until, there was a burst of urgent footsteps.

The footsteps were heavy and rapid, and they were so familiar. Not only Shang Ruyi, but also Wuxue subconsciously took a deep breath, raised his head and looked out the door.

A familiar tall figure hurriedly came from outside.

It's Yu Wenye.

At this time, the sky was a little brighter than before, so even if he hadn't approached yet, he could already clearly see the serious and more anxious expression on his face.

And before he even got close, he saw Wuxue hugging Shang Ruyi tightly inside the open door, and even saw her pale face and absent-minded eyes.

At this moment, Yu Wenye's face became darker. He took a deep breath and strode in.

"As one wishes--"

"Yu Wenye."

The two people spoke almost at the same time, one voice was deep and deep, with undisguised eagerness on his face, while the other voice was as thin as Shang Ruyi's breathing at the moment, as if a little wind could blow her away.

However, this thin voice suddenly overwhelmed the deep and deep voice.

Yu Wenye stopped subconsciously.

Looking at Shang Ruyi's pale face, he frowned again, but decided to speak.But before the words left his mouth, he was suppressed again by that thin voice.

Shang Ruyi faced him and said, "I want to separate from you."

"...!"

Yu Wenye suddenly opened his eyes wide!
Not only him, but Wuxue who was holding Shang Ruyi was stunned. She looked at Shang Ruyi stupidly as if she couldn't believe her ears. She even forgot that as a slave, she shouldn't be standing here at this time. , not to mention the taboo of interjecting at such a time. She only knew that at this moment, Shang Ruyi, whose eyes were dark and dull, seemed to be crazy. He was driven almost crazy by the news of Shen Wuzheng's death, so he said such words.

But she, she can't-!
"Princess..." Wuxue was about to say something when he was interrupted by another deep and deep voice: "Stay back."

It's Yu Wenye.

He took a step forward expressionlessly, and the shadow cast by his tall body almost completely enveloped the two people. It was more like a mountain pressing on the two people's heads, making it difficult to breathe.Wuxue subconsciously let go of her hands. Shang Ruyi, who seemed to have lost her soul just now and her body was about to become a piece of loose sand, shook a little at this time and forced herself to stand. Not only did she stand, she even raised her head. , his red eyes looked fearlessly at Yu Wenye's dark and cold eyes, as sharp as two knives.

Although she stood firm, and although King Qin had given the order, Wuxue still hesitated.

She looked at Shang Ruyi and then at Yu Wenye.

But this time, the two people ignored her. Yu Wenye only used his last bit of patience and said again: "Back off!"

This sound like a thunderbolt from the blue made Wo Xue tremble.

She had no choice but to slowly walk around his tall body and walk to the door. Then she looked back at the two people confronting each other in the room. She could only grit her teeth and leave, closing the door ajar.

They were the only two people left in the room.

The ajar door blocked even the sunlight that penetrated the clouds, and completely immersed the two people in suffocating darkness.

Yu Wenye didn't breathe, just stared at the red eyes in front of him.

At this moment, his eyes were slowly turning red.

He said: "You, say it again."

Although it was only a few words, he spoke each word with such difficulty, as if a rusty knife had been sharpened on rough sandstone. Each word was heavier than the last, and it even seemed to have worn out his... His throat and every word were filled with the smell of blood.

But no matter how strong the bloody smell was, Shang Ruyi couldn't feel it.

At this time, her heart was filled with blood, and it even flowed into a river.

With such a river of blood surging, when Shang Ruyi spoke again, her voice was also full of blood, but each word was sharper than the last -

"I want to break up with you!"

"..."

"You said that this is a transaction between us, and you are right."

"..."

"From the beginning, I married you just for the sake of my family and to protect them from being harmed in this troubled world; but now, there is no-"

"..."

"Not only did you fail to protect my family, you also put him in danger."

"..."

"You still let him-"

At this point, Shang Ruyi's voice was so choked that he couldn't speak any more. His eyes, which were burnt red by the tears welling up in his heart, finally couldn't hold on anymore. The tears rolled down like broken beads, one drop after another, falling to the ground. The crackling sound completely broke her heart.

Yu Wenye was right, her relatives were the most important thing to her.

She would rather die than let any harm come to them.

But now, she is still alive, but her brother who cares about her the most, loves her the most, and has given her infinite warmth and care in this limited half life is dead...

She wanted to save him so much and begged, but she couldn't get any mercy from Yu Wenye.

He could save him with just one order, but he had to watch Shen Wuzheng fall into such danger and ignore it.

No, he wasn't ignoring it.

He clearly knew that Changchun Palace was outside Tongguan and was not protected by the Dasheng Dynasty. Moreover, Taiyuan might continue to send people to pursue Yu Wencheng, which would be dangerous; he knew clearly that Yu Wencheng was arrogant by nature and it was impossible to do so. They stayed in the Changchun Palace obediently, but only sent 200 people to protect them.

He did it on purpose.

Because that night, on Cangbai Mountain, Shen Wuzheng made a move with him!
and so--

Thinking of this, she raised her head and looked at Yu Wenye, gritted her teeth, and smiled hard, but the tears and red eyes made her smile not only ferocious, but even added a bit of unspeakable hatred: " In the morning, didn’t you ask me if you were useful to me?”

"..."

"Now, the result is in front of me - you are not useful to me."

"..."

"So now, you're useless."

"..."

"Didn't you teach me from the beginning that if I feel wronged by being married to you, there is a way to make me feel less wronged, which is to get together and separate!"

"..."

"Then, His Highness King Qin——"

Shang Ruyi looked at him, gritted his teeth and said word by word: "We can get together now!"

After saying this, she closed her eyes hard and stopped breathing.Rather than waiting for Yu Wenye's answer, it is better to say that he is waiting for some kind of ending.

She has reached her limit.

And Yu Wenye was as cold as ice at this moment. Not only his eyes, but even his whole body also lost their temperature at this moment. His whole person was as cold as an ice sculpture.

After an unknown amount of time, his cold eyes trembled slightly, as if the layer of frost was being torn apart.

He said: "Shang Ruyi - don't even think about it!"
