After taking a short rest, they set off on their way back.

However, we galloped all night last night. Today we were tired and our horses were a little injured. We also had to carry Wang Shaoji’s body, so the return journey was very slow, until ten minutes past noon. I rested in Mengyang, had something to eat, and then walked back. As dusk approached, I saw the tall and majestic outline of Taiyuan City again.

Finally came back.

The people who greeted them at the city gate were very different from the neat queues yesterday. Everyone was a little worried and expectant.However, once they saw the two princes returning safely, even with Wang Shaoji's body, the atmosphere immediately changed.

Although they understand that among the two Wang brothers, the one who is really in charge, or in other words, the one who is manipulating everything behind the scenes, is Wang Shaoqiu, but Wang Shaoji has a bad reputation, and when Yu Wenyuan ascended the throne in Chang'an and proclaimed himself emperor, he issued a proclamation to commit regicide. It was also Wang Shaoji, so in the eyes of everyone, this man was heinous and guilty, so seeing his body was so satisfying.

For a time, the whole Taiyuan was boiling.

Returning to Yuwen's old house in Taiyuan, there were already guards on the third and third floors here. They went back to their rooms to take a bath and rest. But even though the courtyard was deep, Shang Ruyi could still hear the bustle outside, and the people on the streets and alleys. There were cheers and gongs and drums, just like the Chinese New Year.

However, in the center of such excitement, she was actually very calm.

Under Wuxue's service, he took a comfortable bath and washed away the dirt and blood accumulated on his body these days, as well as the "bad luck" in Wuxue's mouth. Then he returned to the room and just dried his hair. Then he saw Yu Wenye finish bathing and changing clothes, then opened the door and came in.

The two people looked at each other and said nothing.

Yu Wenye glanced at Wuxue, who was still standing behind Shang Ruyi, combing her long hair in front of the bronze mirror, and said calmly: "You go down. After a while, the food will be set outside and call us again."

Wuxue immediately said: "Yes."

After saying that, he put down the wooden comb in his hand, turned around and went out.

He also closed the door smoothly.

Shang Ruyi still sat motionless in front of the bronze mirror. His clear eyes reflected the flickering candlelight not far in front of him. It was so bright, but reflected in the bronze mirror, there seemed to be a trace of confusion lingering in his eyes.

Until Yu Wenye slowly walked up behind her, picked up the wooden comb, rolled up her dark and smooth long hair, and combed it for her bit by bit. Her hair gradually became softer, and the warm breath on his body also After dispelling the confusion in her eyes, Shang Ruyi gradually came to her senses and looked at the person behind her.

She whispered: "Are you still angry with me?"

"..."

Yu Wenye didn't speak, only twirling a strand of her hair that was still wet. His solemn expression was reflected in the mirror, and looked even heavier under the flickering candlelight.

It also made Shang Ruyi's breathing become heavier.

She was silent for a while, and then said softly: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you angry or make you worry."

"..."

"I just think--"

Speaking of this, she seemed to know that some words were unspeakable, especially in front of her husband. Yu Wenye was not a small-minded person, but it was difficult for any man to tolerate his wife having her in his heart. Such thoughts, especially, are for other men.

But when Shang Ruyi found it difficult to speak, Yu Wenye raised his head and glanced at her.

Then he said calmly: "You just want to avenge him, right?"

"...!"

Shang Ruyi's breath caught in his breath and he raised his head to look at him.Yu Wenye remained silent, slowly letting go of the strand of hair on his fingertips, and sighed: "Everyone said that you were the one who killed the culprit, Wang Shaoji, but I can see that your arrow... It was obviously meant to be shot at Wang Shaoqiu."

"..."

"In your heart, it is Wang Shaoqiu who drives him to death."

"..."

"So, the one you want to kill is also Wang Shaoqiu."

"..."

"The reason why Luxiao secretly came to find you without revealing her identity is because she was not sure whether she could convince us, but you followed her. At this time, there is no other reason other than hatred."

Shang Ruyi's face gradually turned pale.

When Yu Wenye said "him", her heart felt like a big stone was pressed on her - or in other words, it had been pressing on her for a long time and she had not let go of it these days.

I originally thought that today I could kill my enemy and avenge him, but I didn't expect that I still missed the mark.

Just as Yu Wenye said, yesterday, they led the troops and galloped towards Dongcheng. Before leaving, Yu Wenye also warned her "Don't follow me", which made her a little stunned and ready to make a move. The enchanting beauty Lu Xiao suddenly appeared in front of her.

At that moment, she was indeed shocked.

Although the two people had met before, they were never familiar with each other, and Lu Xiao was kept by Wang Shaoji's side, and he was always submissive and very favored. In their eyes, Lu Xiao was even considered a hostile person.

Therefore, when he saw her appearing in front of him, Shang Ruyi's first reaction was to be on guard.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xiao appeared in front of her, and the first thing she said was - "That painting, young lady, oh no, it was the princess. Princess Qin should repay me, right?"

At that moment, Shang Ruyi felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

She stared blankly at the enchanting beauty who slowly walked out of the dark night. No matter how time passed, the flames of war burned her bones, or the flames of war whetted her heart, the beauty was still a beauty; but she could also see that over the years, Lu Xiao should She had suffered a lot, and although her clothes were still gorgeous and her appearance was peerless, her eyes filled with spring water, even in the depths of her smile, revealed a deep-seated hatred that could not be eliminated.

Only then did Shang Ruyi understand that when Yu Wenye attacked Xingluocang, he was plotted by Wang Shaoji and others, and the person who sent her the painting to remind her of all this was actually Lu Xiao!

"It's you?"

She couldn't believe it, but she knew in her heart that it was only her!

And Lu Xiao smiled faintly and said: "If this is not enough, then the princess can repay me for her kindness in sending news to the deputy commander of the Zuogong Army in Jiangdu, right?"

"...!"

Shang Ruyi's heart beat like thunder again.

She stared blankly at those bright eyes with murderous intent gradually emerging, and the gloomy memories of her time in Jiangdu once again enveloped her. Sure enough, that painting was also made by the same person, that is, the one in front of her - Green silk!
She asked: "How do you want me to repay you?"

For an instant, a chill suddenly appeared in Lu Xiao's eyes, and his murderous intent was no longer concealed.

She gritted her teeth and said word by word: "I want you to help me kill Wang Shaoji and Wang Shaoqiu!"
