Noble First Daughter-in-law

Just when they walked out of Dong's Mansion, Shen Wuzheng immediately turned to Shang Ruyi: "Are you okay?"

Seeing that he was a little nervous, Shang Ruyi's frown immediately relaxed, and he let go of the hand that had been protecting his stomach. He smiled and comforted him: "Brother, don't worry, I was just pretending."

"..."

Looking at her smile and her belly, Shen Wuzheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Pei Xingyuan on the side sneered: "I can tell you're just pretending, but you still take it seriously. Brother Fu Ming, you are too slow."

Facing his ridicule, Shen Wuzheng didn't care. He just looked at Shang Ruyi again and made sure that she didn't hide anything wrong. There was really nothing wrong with her. Then he breathed a long sigh of relief. Seeing Shen Wuzheng's rare "sluggish" look, Shang Ruyi couldn't help but smile. She didn't know how keen Shen Wuzheng was. He should have seen through this little trick of hers at a glance, but maybe , precisely because it is him who cares about him, he will be confused, so even if he can see through it, he can't rest assured.

So she comforted her softly: "Brother, don't worry, if something is really wrong, Feng Chen will not let me leave just like that."

Shen Wuzheng raised his head and glanced at Yu Wenye. He indeed looked like he had everything under control. Even so, he did not relax at all when holding Shang Ruyi's hand. Looking at Shang Ruyi again, Shen Wuzheng sighed softly in his heart. After taking a breath, he finally felt relieved and said softly: "It's okay, that's fine."

Pei Xingyuan stood nearby and laughed, but after laughing, his expression gradually became serious again. He sighed and said, "I thought Duke Shenwu's matter was troublesome enough, but I didn't expect that King Qi suddenly came back."

At this point, everyone's breath dropped.

Pei Xingyuan grew up with Yuwen Ye, so he naturally knew the affairs of the Yuwen family, and Shang Ruyi had also noticed it over the years. Although Shen Wuzheng didn't know much about the past family affairs of the Yuwen family, with his keenness, he had naturally known it long ago. I realized that the relationship between Yu Wenye and Yu Wencheng, brothers from the same mother, was not harmonious, but actually very bad.

Yu Wencheng's return this time will definitely have a more troublesome impact on the already complicated situation.

Shang Ruyi looked at Yu Wenye: "His injury is really——"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a rush of footsteps not far ahead. He looked up and saw that it was Mr. Mu. His face was solemn and a bit anxious. He held a letter in his hand and hurried over. He bowed to them, then presented the letter with both hands and said: "His Royal Highness, King Qin, this is a letter sent by Yan Buhuai in an urgent manner."

Everyone was startled. They were still worried about this matter, but they didn't expect that Yan Buhai's letter had arrived.

It seems that Yuwen's attempt to enter Xingluocang failed and he immediately transferred back to Chang'an City. Yan Buhuai must have been worried about something happening, so he immediately sent a letter back to explain the situation, and that's why he arrived.

Yu Wenye immediately took the letter and opened it. After reading it a few times, he frowned.

Shang Ruyi asked hurriedly: "What's going on?"

Yu Wenye said in a deep voice: "The third child's injury was indeed caused by his own hands."

"Is it really him!?"

"After Shen Tutai captured the two states of Song and Xu, Liang Shide sent people several times to try to enter Xingluocang, but they were blocked by them. Yan Buhuai was worried that they would concentrate their forces to attack Cangcheng, so he sent people to patrol day and night. Be ready to fight at any time. At this moment, someone actually wanted to go up the mountain to attack the city and break into Xingluocang. Naturally, he immediately sent people to shoot arrows as a warning, but he didn't expect-"

"Go up the mountain and attack the city?"

When Shang Ruyi heard these four words, his eyes immediately became sharp: "Just now King Qi said that he just wanted to enter."

Yu Wenye sneered. In fact, there is no need for Yan BuBai's letter. Just from what they heard from Yu Wencheng, they knew which part to believe and which part not to believe. No matter how courageous Yan BuBai was, he would not dare to say anything to His Highness Prince Qi for no reason. Take action, so of course it was Yu Wencheng who was playing tricks with his words. If he bit himself to death just because he wanted to go up the mountain, and it was Yan Buyai who made the first move, then Yan Buyai's guilt would be settled!

Yu Wenye added: "Yan Buhuai realized that something was wrong, and after King Qi's forceful attack failed without any further entanglement, he left immediately. He was worried that he would return to Chang'an to use it as an excuse, so he immediately sent me a letter."

Yu Wencheng couldn't have come back just to express his condolences to Dong Bizheng. He didn't have such a deep relationship with Duke Shenwu either.

And for a person like him who is determined to retaliate, the injury cannot be in vain.

Shen Wuzheng frowned and thought for a moment, then immediately said: "With His Highness Prince Qi's impulsive character, he should have known about the Duke's affairs. As soon as he returned to Chang'an, he came here first to trouble Your Highness, and before he had time to go to the palace to report to you. Your Majesty files a complaint."

Yu Wenye nodded.

Shen Wuzheng said: "So, this time can be used!"

"..."

"And fast!"

Hearing this, Yu Wenye raised his head and glanced at him again, only to see Shen Wuzheng look at the brightly lit county mansion not far behind him, and said: "King Qi should have told the prince the true situation by now, and His Royal Highness— -Although he was affected by the death of the Duke, I see that his character is not someone who can only indulge in grief."

"..."

"If I guess correctly, the prince will ask His Highness King Qi, or he will return to the palace immediately with His Highness King Qi to report this matter to His Majesty."

"..."

"Your Highness should return to the palace as soon as possible. At this time, whoever speaks first will benefit."

When Yu Wenye heard this, he immediately looked back and heard a commotion in the Dong Mansion. It seemed that someone came out and shouted to prepare the carriage and horses.

Yu Wenye said immediately: "Get in the car and go back to the palace immediately." After saying that, they immediately walked back to the carriage. Yu Wenye first helped Shang Ruyi get on the carriage. Just as he was about to get on the carriage, But Shang Ruyi reached out and held him down, saying: "At this time, it is faster to ride a horse. You can go first."

Yu Wenye was stunned for a moment: "Then you——"

Shang Ruyi said: "I have such a big belly. If the carriage goes too fast and bumps, it will cause problems for me."

"..."

"So, you ride back to the palace and explain the matter clearly to your father first."

Shen Wuzheng stood aside and nodded lightly when he heard this: "Ruyi is right. Your Highness, you should return to the palace first. At this time, it will definitely be useful to speak first. It is important to save Xingluocang."

This time Yu Wenye reacted very quickly. He immediately turned around and took the reins of a horse from the guard who followed him. He quickly turned over and jumped on the horse's back. Then he turned back and told Mu Xian: "You all stay and escort the princess back to the palace. If If anything goes wrong——"

Mu Xian immediately responded: "I understand, villain."

Yu Wenye nodded, glanced at Shang Ruyi again, immediately turned his horse's head, and flew away like an arrow from a string.

Soon, his back disappeared into the night.

Shang Ruyi sat in the carriage and awkwardly moved to the bedside. He kept watching the dark night at the end of the long street completely engulfing Yuwen Ye's figure. Then he let out a deep breath and turned to face Shen Wuzheng and Pei Xing. Yuandao: "Brother, Mr. Pei, you should go back first. If there is any news about things here, I will ask Feng Chen to send the news to you immediately."

Pei Xingyuan didn't hesitate and just said: "Then Princess, be careful on the road."

Shang Ruyi nodded, and Pei Xingyuan turned around and walked back to his carriage.

Shen Wuzheng did not leave immediately. He still stood beside Shang Ruyi's carriage. He watched Shang Ruyi wave goodbye to him and then put down the curtain to go back. There seemed to be a hint of worry in his eyes, and even the wrinkles between his eyebrows were deeper than before. a bit.

He suddenly said: "As you wish."

"Ok?"

Hearing his voice, Shang Ruyi hurriedly opened the curtain again, looked into Shen Wuzheng's deep eyes, and said softly: "Brother, what do you want to say?"

Shen Wuzheng looked at her clear and bright eyes. Even in this night, there was a strange brightness. It not only made people forget about the world, but also had a sense of closeness and warmth rising from the bottom of his heart. Too many times, he They all want to help their little sister stay away from danger and darkness, but it turns out that they can't take her away, and she has never been afraid of danger, let alone the darkness.

Shen Wuzheng took a deep breath, and then said: "From now on, try to stay away from the prince."

"...?"

Shang Ruyi was stunned.

This statement——it sounds too strange.

Although Shen Wuzheng cared for him very much and took care of everything in detail, when he came to warn him to stay away from the prince, he felt a bit weird, as if he had bad conduct; not to mention, he understood Yuwen better than anyone else. Sui is the opposite of them. Even until now, Yuwen Ye has not made it clear to her whether Yu Wensu is a "good person" or not, or what he means by "inner demon". But from the beginning, Shang Ruyi did not put him into his own camp.

Of course it was impossible for her to get close to him, and she had never made any mistakes in this matter over the years.

Why would Shen Wuzheng tell himself such words?

Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi couldn't help but frown slightly and said softly: "Brother, why are you telling me this? There is no relationship between me and the prince."

Shen Wuzheng immediately shook his head: "I'm not talking about your character."

As he said that, he looked back again. At this time, the noisy voices in the Dong Mansion seemed to have calmed down a bit, but the figures in the mansion were shaking, as if someone had already left, and it was obvious that someone was preparing to return to the palace.

He said: "I don't know who the prince was in the past, but he is now——"

"now?"

When Shang Ruyi heard these two words, he recalled that he had just seen Yuwen Sui in the mourning hall, who looked like he was dressed in black, and his heart suddenly trembled: "Brother, do you think the prince is different from the past?"

Shen Wuzheng thought for a while and said: "Although we have dealt with him in the past, we have never faced him. In fact, we have not really understood the prince's thoughts and methods. In other words, we have never understood him."

"..."

"He knows us well, but we know nothing about him."

There are too many things going on today, so I can only update this chapter. Please forgive me.
