Noble First Daughter-in-law

It's quiet at night.

When the prince, two princes and a princess finally left the Liangyi Hall, the lights in the hall were finally extinguished, and the entire palace seemed to fall into a dull and suffocating darkness.

Until he returned to Qianqiu Palace, Shang Ruyi's breath could not be relieved.

After a simple bath and change of clothes, he silently went to bed. As soon as he lay down next to Yu Wenye, he heard him let out a deep breath.

Shang Ruyi immediately raised his head, looking at his gloomy face and cold eyes with the faint light of the last candle in the hall, and whispered: "Does the matter have to come to this point?"

"..."

Yu Wenye raised his eyebrows slightly and looked down at her: "What?"

Shang Ruyi said: "The prince married Yu Mingyue just to deal with us."

"..."

"Before, there were assassinations on the way back from Jiangdu, the Battle of Fufeng, and the subsequent plague... Although Yu Mingyue is ignorant and ignorant, after all, she can know many important things, which is important to us. ——”

This is fatal enough for them.

Even this time, if Shang Ruyi hadn't wanted to see the Empress Dowager Jiang because of Chu Ruoyan's matter, and if Yu Wenyuan hadn't allowed her to go to Dayan Temple to worship the Buddha because of Jiang Zhongen's surrender, they might not have been able to crack Jiang Chong'en so quickly. Maybe she was pretending to surrender, but actually it was a plan to trap and kill the emperor. If she arrived at Longmen Ferry in time, Yu Mingyue might have made great achievements because of this incident.

This time, they really got lucky, but they also paid a high "price".

Yu Wenzhen and them almost completely fell out.

Compared to Shang Ruyi's worry, Yu Wenye was very calm. He looked down at her and said calmly: "Do you think they won't deal with us if one of them doesn't marry and the other doesn't marry?"

"..."

"Then what do we have experienced before?"

Shang Ruyi was startled, then thought again and had nothing to say.

The assassinations on the way back from Jiangdu, the Battle of Fufeng, and the subsequent plague... it was indeed Yu Mingyue's hand. At that time, she was not married to Yuwen Sui.

Yu Wenye sighed softly and said: "No woman can completely manipulate and change a man who lives for power."

"..."

"Most men will only 'praise' women when they are taking advantage of them. King You of Zhou can light a beacon fire and tease the princes, but he cannot go to the beacon fire and tease the princes for the sake of praise. This kind of thing is made up by men to coax women. , after hearing this, women don’t need to be complacent, thinking that they can really win over the country with beauty, because beauty can only be used to bring trouble. "

"..."

"Without what happened this time, Brother Huang would have been at odds with us long ago."

"..."

"And Duke Shenwu's death just gave him a perfect reason - although this reason did make him painful, the result was something that should have happened a long time ago."

"Should have happened a long time ago?"

Shang Ruyi felt something about the previous words, but the last few words made her a little surprised. She looked at Yu Wenye: "You mean, the prince will definitely marry Yu Mingyue, it's just a matter of sooner or later?"

Yu Wenye nodded.

Shang Ruyi slowly frowned.

She knew that it was only a matter of time before their brothers quarreled, but it was also a matter of time before they even married Yu Mingyue...

She thought about what had happened in the past few days, and then recalled Yu Wenzhen's words "self-mistake" that she had just said in Liangyi Hall, although it seemed calm and calm, but it was actually painful to the bone. She seemed to understand something in her heart, and whispered softly Said: "He said that he 'made a mistake' in the past few years, which does not mean that he has not married, but that he has been wandering around and not cultivating his own power in these years?" Yu Wenye raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said: "You finally figured it out."

Shang Ruyi couldn't help but take a deep breath.

If he hadn't reminded her, she really didn't, and wouldn't have thought about it. Looking at Chaozhong, although after Yu Wenzhen returned to the mortal world and captured Chang'an City without any blood, there were many people who sided with him. behind him; after being crowned the crown prince, he and Yu Wenye's power in the court became even more distinct. However, what was behind him was not the power of Yu Wenzhen, but the power of the "prince". These people were because he became the prince. She had high hopes for the "Prince", so she stood by his side.

But once the "Prince" loses power, or he loses his identity as "Prince", those people will immediately leave him.

What was different from him was that the person standing behind Yu Wenye was one of his own.

These people are his close friends who have been through life and death over the years and have gone through countless hardships together. There are Mu Xian, Cheng Qiao, Yan Buhua, Dai Junliang, Pei Xingyuan, Shen Tutai... and even others who follow him. Shang Ruyi came to Shen Wuzheng beside him.

These people, before they were King Qin's power, they were also his Yu Wenye's power.

In other words, the death of Dong Bizheng made Yu Wenzui understand that during the years when he was practicing and traveling around the world, he had not cultivated his power at all in the court. The Duke of Shenwu County was his mother's family and his greatest support. , and once Dong Bizheng died, although the Dong family might still help him, their power had been greatly reduced. Not to mention avenging Dong Bizheng, he might even feel that his position as prince was in danger.

After all, once Duke Shenwu died, there were not many forces in the court that could confront Yu Wenye head-on.

He had no choice but to find another helper, and this help was only another county prince——

Duke of Wushan County.

That's why Yu Wenye said that it was only a matter of time before he married Yu Mingyue, because even if Dong Bizheng was still alive, only one Duke of Shenwu was not enough for the prince. And after the death of Duke Shenwu, Yuwen Ye immediately married Yu Mingyue, not only It was a statement and a means to appease the forces behind him.

Shang Ruyi took a deep breath: "It turns out that this was his-self-mistake."

Yu Wenye said calmly: "If you want to understand power better, you have to let go of the short-sightedness of love between children, otherwise, you will always be trapped."

Shang Ruyi nodded gently.

She added: "Then, what should we do next?"

Yu Wenye looked at her and said with a half-smile, "You seem to be very scared."

Shang Ruyi let out a deep breath: "Of course I'm scared. I don't want to be hurt, and I don't want the people around me to be hurt."

"..."

"My brother said before that if the prince wants revenge, he will do two things - hurt others and seize power."

Now she has a rough understanding of this power grab. Marrying Yu Mingyue is the first step, but when it comes to hurting people, they are still a little vague. Who will he attack?

Yu Wenye was silent for a while, then suddenly murmured: "These may not be two different things."

"..."

"And now, King Qi is back."

"Third brother?"

The mention of Yu Wencheng made Shang Ruyi's worries a little deeper. Compared with Yuwen Sui, whom she knew little about, Yu Wencheng's cunning, vicious and moody also made her feel very troublesome, and Yu Wencheng this time because of his interest When Luo Cang came back injured after the incident, he must have put all the blame on Yu Wenye. He and Yu Wenzhen reunited...

Shang Ruyi said softly: "Do you think that third brother will also take action against us?"

"..."

Yu Wenye was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Can you see where the third brother was injured?"

I may stop updating for a few days starting tomorrow. I have to deal with the fire from my relatives. Please forgive me.

Happy New Year to everyone!
