Noble First Daughter-in-law

Just when the blood mist rose on the battlefield, the sound of killings shook the sky, and the whole grassland was dyed red with blood, on the other side of the Qixian County Government Office, the quiet room without a trace of movement was also filled with the smell of blood.

But it was on the tip of Shang Ruyi's tongue.

The door to the room was closed and the windows were sealed. Under the dim light, Shang Ruyi sat numbly on the edge of the bed. He was like a puppet whose soul had been extracted. His face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, and he was even more numb. Not a trace of consciousness.

The only feeling was the warm smell of blood on the tip of her tongue. After it spread from the tip of her tongue, it filled her entire mouth, and even gradually enveloped her whole body.

is her blood.

Because she was in pain, it was too painful, but when she refused to let out a moan, she bit the tip of her tongue.

And that pain -

Thinking of this, she slowly raised her right hand. On her slender white wrist, a few bruised finger marks were clearly visible, and even now, the wrist bone still had a dull pain that seemed to be broken.

The one who left these finger marks was Yu Wenye.

Just now, after hearing Shang Ruyi's decisive words, he suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her in front of him. In an instant, he stared at her with bloodshot and red eyes, with a fierce look on his face. , even in the most dangerous battlefields, against the bravest generals, at the critical moment of life and death.

He was like a ferocious beast, ready to tear her into pieces and swallow her!
Shang Ruyi did not retreat, even though her slender wrist was almost broken by him - she had no doubt that he would crush her bones. After all, just the day before, he was in front of her, trying to kill someone who was about to attack her. The neck bone of the Western Turkic warrior was smashed hard - so, maybe at this time, what he wanted to crush more was her throat.

However, she said nothing and just looked at him, with the same pale face and the same blood-red eyes.

She is not afraid.

It's not because she's not afraid of pain, not afraid of death, or has no fear.

Just because she was in too much pain.

She had lost her loved ones and the brother who loved her the most, which already made her miserable. What made her even more painful was that the person who made her lose her brother——

It's him!

This fact was like a knife, piercing into her heart and still churning.

The two people just looked at each other, as if they were in a confrontation, and this was just like a fight that was bloodless, but heart-wrenching, and even more painful to the bone marrow.

Shang Ruyi's slender wrist was held tightly by his thick palm, and her wrist bones felt a sharp pain that was on the verge of breaking. She was so painful that she almost shed tears, but she gritted her teeth, even biting the tip of her tongue, and did not hesitate. Ken made a little more noise and just stared into the other person's eyes.

She looked like she was waiting for her bones to break, and she was also waiting for some kind of bond between them to be completely broken.

However, Yu Wenye suddenly let her go!

His eyes were still blood red and his face was still pale, but he looked as if all the anger had been suddenly drained away, and there was no trace of anger in his body - even, at that moment, he seemed to have no vitality at all. , the whole person seemed to have been defeated in a battle, even the broad shoulders sank.

He glanced at her blankly, then suddenly turned around and walked out.

At that time, Shang Ruyi was also a little confused. She just watched him forcefully close the door in front of her eyes. She didn't realize something was wrong until the sound of locking was heard outside.

He locked the door.

And he was locked up by him just like that.

She didn't know why Yu Wenye did this - those words just now were enough to anger him. Even if he didn't do anything to himself, at least with Yu Wenye's proud personality, he shouldn't let go of someone who humiliated him so easily.

But Yu Wenye didn't say a word to her, and just left. It wasn't until he saw his panicked figure through the crack in the door, as if he was running away, that he walked to the door of the courtyard outside and bumped into Wuxue. Only then did he hear his low voice. , a hoarse voice commanded: "Stay here and don't let her out."

Wuxue didn't dare to say anything, so she could only respond.

Later, the whole world seemed to become quiet all of a sudden. Time passed silently. Shang Ruyi didn't know how long it had passed. He could only judge from the gradually brighter and then darker light and shadow outside the window that it was almost dusk.

She reached out again, and her slender fingertips trembled and touched the finger marks on her wrist.

At this moment, the sound of unlocking came from outside the door.

Shang Ruyi immediately raised his head and heard a "squeak" sound. The door that had been closed for a long time was finally pushed open. A faint light slowly stretched on the ground. Then, a familiar shadow was projected on the ground. .

"princess……?"

That cautious voice was none other than Wuxue.

She walked in slowly, and when she raised her head, she saw Shang Ruyi sitting by the bed, and the tears on her pale face that were not yet dry. Suddenly, deep pity appeared in her eyes, and she hurriedly put the things in her hands away. Put it on the table, then walk to the bed: "Princess, are you feeling better?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi didn't speak, she just lowered her hands, and her soft sleeves also dropped, immediately covering the bruises on her wrists.

It was only for a moment, but Wuxue still saw it.

When she spoke again, her voice was a little dry: "Princess..."

Shang Ruyi looked at her: "Why are you here?"

"This servant is here to bring you dinner. Princess, you haven't eaten anything all day."

"Oh."

Shang Ruyi's somewhat dull eyes moved, as if he had finally come to life until this moment.

Yes, she had been in this room for most of the day, and it was true that she hadn't eaten anything. However, because her whole body was numb with pain, she couldn't even feel hungry anymore.

She raised her head again, met Wuxue's concerned eyes, and heard her softly comforting voice: "Princess, I know that you must be very sad and can't eat, but you'd better eat some, okay?"

"..."

"My slave has specially prepared a vegetarian meal."

"..."

"Princess, even if you want to be angry or sad, you still have to have the strength to—Princess?"

Just when Wuxue was racking her brains to think of what to say next to persuade Shang Ruyi to eat something, the next moment, she saw Shang Ruyi slowly stand up from the bed.

However, her legs were numb, perhaps because she had been sitting for too long, and her body swayed a little.

Wuxue let out a frightened cry and hurriedly reached out to help her. Shang Ruyi also reached out to support her wrist, supporting herself to stand firm before she raised her head and slowly walked to the low table in the center of the room. Slowly sat down again.

Then he said: "Let's set the food."

"what?"

Wuxue was stunned.

She had been preparing for a long time before coming in to deliver the meal - although unlike Tu Sheer who had been with Shang Ruyi since she was a child, she didn't know how good Shen Wuzheng was to her, but from their interactions with her these days, she knew Shen Wuzheng to some extent, or Talking about how important the Shen family was to Princess Qin, who was already very affectionate and righteous, we could understand more clearly how much of a blow Shen Wuzheng's death was to her.

Otherwise, she would not have made such a fuss with Yu Wenye.

Therefore, before pushing the door and walking in, she had already thought of many words to comfort Shang Ruyi. Even if Shang Ruyi refused to eat well, take a sip of soup or even a sip of water, it would still be good.

I didn't expect-

Seeing that she was still unable to recover, Shang Ruyi said calmly: "Aren't you going to let me eat? Why don't you show it off?"

"Ah? Ah, yes!"

Wuxue was completely stupid at this time, but he immediately reached out to open the food box and took out the food inside.

As she said, the preparations are all vegetarian and not very oily. It is just right for people who are depressed and have no appetite after great sorrow.

And Shang Ruyi actually picked up the bowl and chopsticks and slowly ate together.

Wuxue stood aside, not even daring to take a breath.

She could see that Shang Ruyi had no appetite. He had to chew for a long time before he lowered his head and swallowed hard. He was obviously forcing himself to eat, but no matter what, it was good if he was willing to eat.The room was still quiet, except for the sound of Shang Ruyi eating.

I don't know how much time passed, but seeing Shang Ruyi eating less than half a bowl of rice with a few side dishes, she really reached her limit. Woxue immediately went to make a cup of tea and delivered it to Shang Ruyi.

"Princess, please have some tea."

Shang Ruyi did not go to get the cup of tea. He just lowered his head, wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and then said in a deep voice: "Where is he?"

"...!"

Hearing these two words, Wuxue's heart trembled again.

Of course she knew who the "him" Shang Ruyi was referring to - Yu Wenye.But at this time, Shang Ruyi didn't even want to call him by his name anymore. His cold and distant attitude was shocking.

Wuxue took a deep breath and said, "His Royal Highness, King Qin, is gone."

"Going to Taiyuan?"

"Yes."

"How long did it take?"

"Not long after that."

Just when Shang Ruyi said the word "heli" to him, he turned pale and left here like a helpless wandering soul. Soon after, he led his troops and set off. Wuxue also went to the gate of the county government to see him off. Although he had also put on Mingguang armor, and the team behind him was fierce and fierce, and he still looked as cold and powerful as before, but for some reason, Wuxue still seemed to see from his eyes that were so cold that there was a layer of frost. I saw a bit of brokenness.

Before leaving, he only said one thing to Wuxue——

"Take care of her."

Then, he led the team and left without looking back.

From Qixian County to Taiyuan, if the cavalry moves quickly, it will not take more than a day. Maybe by this time, they will be close to Taiyuan City. However, according to Yu Wenye's previous plan, he will not attack the city immediately, but follow the already Nie Chong and others who successfully sneaked into Taiyuan City agreed on a time to wait until the city's defenses were weakest, and asked Nie Chong and others to open the city gate, and then cooperate inside and outside to attack Taiyuan City.

So now, what they have to do is wait for the opportunity without being discovered.

Shang Ruyi was silent for a while, then nodded gently: "Yes."

After saying these words, Wuxue didn't dare to neglect, and stretched out his hands to clean up the dishes.

But just when she stretched out her hand, Shang Ruyi suddenly raised his head. His eyes, which had always been calm, now flickered slightly and looked at her: "Wuxue."

"Princess, what are your orders?"

"I want you to help me."

"...!"

At this moment, Wuxue's heart almost jumped out of her chest.

Her hand trembled, and she immediately knocked over a bowl on the table. It fell to the ground with a clang and shattered. The sound also made Wuxue tremble, and she hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Princess, forgive me!"

"..."

Shang Ruyi slowly lowered his head and looked at her, his eyes flickering and his voice hoarse, saying: "Why, you don't want to help me?"

"..."

"Are you going to do this and just watch me being locked up here?"

"..."

"And my brother died somewhere I couldn't see."

"princess!"

This sentence actually hurt Shang Ruyi herself, but Wuxue still felt a tearing pain in her chest. She immediately raised her head and looked at Shang Ruyi's red eyes - her calmness was just suppressed. Despite the grief in her heart, whenever she opened her mouth, whenever she mentioned Shen Wuzheng's death, it would make her miserable.

And this pain also spread to Wuxue's body.

She choked and said: "Princess, don't say that, I'm not unwilling."

"..."

"This slave is just - powerless."

"..."

"Although His Highness King Qin left, he still left a lot of people in the county government office, and specifically told them to take good care of the princess, but not to disturb the princess. So these people are outside, but the princess can't see it. That’s all.”

Hearing this, Shang Ruyi's eyes flickered again, and something seemed to be almost uncontrollable, coming out of his eyes.

However, she still gritted her teeth and swallowed it firmly.

Then chuckled.

Yu Wenye understood her - it was precisely because he understood her that he knew how to hurt her.

Of course, so did she.

Seeing Shang Ruyi's tearful smile, Wuxue felt sad and in severe pain in her heart. She lowered her head in shame and said softly: "Slave, although you have some skills, you still have to deal with these people. There’s no chance of winning.”

"..."

"so--"

Hearing her say that, even though her heart had been turned to pieces by the invisible knife and was in unspeakable pain, Shang Ruyi still showed a hint of relief and a faint smile. She said: "Okay, with you as my One sentence is enough."

"..."

"However, I want you to help me, not to help me fight out. I'm not that stupid."

"..."

"Besides, I don't want to get you involved."

"what?"

Wuxue was stunned and looked at Shang Ruyi in surprise: "What does the princess mean-"

Shang Ruyi looked at her and said nothing.

The two looked at each other silently, and the next moment, Wuxue immediately understood.

Her eyes flickered fiercely, as if she was struggling or hesitating. She thought for a long time, and then said: "But the princess is alone -"

"Even if I'm alone, I have to go."

Shang Ruyi interrupted her, and his trembling voice seemed to be breaking in the next moment: "Otherwise, I will go crazy."

"...!"

Hearing these words, Wuxue no longer hesitated. She stood up with a heartbeat, slowly turned around, and faced Shang Ruyi with her back.

"Princess, please."

Today I will merge two chapters into one and update it.
