Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 983 Yuwen Ye’s battle report!

"...!"

When Shang Ruyi heard this, he felt like a needle pricked his heart.

Sun Xianyue's sword dance is graceful and elegant, with a peerless posture. Even if his similarity with Chu Yang is just a fantasy in his heart, it would be heartbreaking if such a swordsman who is loyal and righteous and not afraid of power was really seriously injured and disabled.

When Tusheer heard this, he also cried out in pain, "He won't be disabled, will he?"

Chang Wan glanced at her, shook her head gently, and then said, "I gave him all the medicine I got from Doctor Su. He should be fine for the time being, but if he is imprisoned or tortured and doesn't get treated, the situation will be unpredictable."

Shang Ruyi frowned and sighed, "He was implicated by me."

Tusheer and Changwan hurriedly said, "Princess, please don't say that!"

Shang Ruyi shook her head and said, "As the Princess of Qin, I have been destined to face all this since the day I married into the Yuwen family. Naturally, I have no regrets. But he could have been an idle wanderer, not caring about worldly affairs. If he hadn't been plotting to frame me, how could he have been implicated and plotted against?"

"Princess, you are wrong,"

At this time, Wo Xue also walked in and said softly, "Sun Xianyue dared to enter the palace to perform and plead for the Pei family. How could she not know that this trip was full of dangers?"

"..."

"But he still came. This is his own choice. Princess, please don't be sad about his choice."

Shang Ruyi was a little surprised that she would speak at this time, but the sadness in her heart could not be dispelled, so she just said softly: "I know he chose it himself, but if it wasn't for me, he would——"

Wo Xue immediately said, "He came to the palace to perform in order to plead for the Pei family. Han Yuhui already knew about this."

"Ah."

"Then, how could Han Yuhui really let him speak in front of the emperor? She hopes that the Pei family will be defeated, and even more so that all the people who are close to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin will be destroyed. If Sun Xianyue falls into her hands, she will definitely die."

"..."

"So, Sun Xianyue's visit this time has only this one result. The princess being framed is just one of his results. Even without this, there are still other results."

Shang Ruyi looked at Woxue in surprise. She didn't expect that she, who usually kept quiet, would speak such a truth at this time. Even Tushe'er looked at her with new eyes and immediately agreed, "Woxue is right. Good or bad is a person's own choice. Sun Xianyue is a real man. You can't blame everything on a woman."

Chang Wan also said: "She'er is right."

Listening to their words of consolation, Shang Ruyi gradually became enlightened, and then he laughed again and said, "You guys are more clear-headed than I am."

Tusheer also slapped Woxue and said with a smile: "Normally you can't make a sound even after three beatings, but today you can speak."

Wo Xue pursed her lips and smiled.

After laughing, Shang Ruyi's expression was still solemn, and she said: "That being said, Pei Xingyuan's downfall and the Pei family's fall from favor are all due to the King of Qin. I am also responsible. I must protect Sun Xianyue no matter what." Tusheer heard this and said worriedly: "Han Yuhui is already dead, what can the princess do?"

After hearing her words, Shang Ruyi knew what she meant - if Han Yuhui was not dead, she could still use her life in exchange for Yuwen Yuan releasing Sun Xianyue. But now that Han Yuhui is dead, although Yuwen Yuan will not say anything on his face, he is inevitably angry in his heart, and he might take it out on Sun Xianyue.

What's more, the situation in the court is gradually becoming clear. Yuwen Ye is leading the army to go to war, and at least during this period of time he is the most trusted prince of the court, while Yuwen Qian, as the crown prince, stays in the capital. Previously, because of the battle of Longmen Ferry, he lost the strong support of his mother's family, Duke Shenwu, and his father-in-law, Duke Wushan, was also seriously injured and neglected. This time he lost Han Shang Gong in the palace. Such multiple blows made him weak all of a sudden.

As the emperor, Yuwen Yuan would never want one party to dominate the court. What he wanted was a balance, or checks and balances, to keep the court stable.

Therefore, his imprisonment of Sun Xianyue was a continuation of his neglect of the Pei family and a continuation of his suppression of the Qin Wang's faction.

In this situation, what can I do?
Shang Ruyi fell into deep thought, and seeing her frowning brows and gloomy look, the girls looked at each other, not daring to disturb her thoughts, and left Qianqiu Palace one after another.

Just like that, under the cover of drizzling rain, the gloomy city of Chang'an finally welcomed a piece of news.

Yuwen Ye sent back the battle report!

When the battle report was received, it was Yuwen Yuan's first morning court session after several days of silence. Although he had a mountain of government affairs to deal with, he was still listless and as tired as a sick tiger. Although he still had the majesty of a tiger sitting on the dragon throne, his whole body exuded a heavy air of desolation.

Just then, an urgent military report came!
Yuwen Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at the Minister of War who had just received the battle report, and asked impatiently, "Has he resolved the danger in Cijian and saved the King of Qi?"

Dong Yue looked at the document in his hand, but shook his head and said, "King Qin, he did not go to Cijian."

"What!?"

Upon hearing this, Yuwen Yuan immediately frowned again: "I asked him to lead his troops to help Cijian, but he didn't go to Cijian. What did he do?"

"..."

"If he doesn't go to Cijian, what is he going to do?"

"this--"

Dong Yue took another look at the battle report in his hand, and then looked at the Crown Prince Yuwen Qian who was standing beside him. It seemed a little difficult to speak. Yuwen Yuan couldn't care too much at this time. For a man of his age, perhaps victory or defeat were trivial matters, but the loyalty of his subjects and the safety of his relatives were much more important than some things.

So he immediately said: "Submit the battle report!"

Without waiting for Dong Yue to step forward, Eunuch Yu immediately came down, took the battle report and handed it to Yuwen Yuan. Yuwen Yuan opened it and when he read the first few sentences, his brows immediately twisted into a big knot, and he was so angry that he almost couldn't sit still on the dragon throne. But as he continued to read, his expression gradually calmed down, and then he showed joy again. Finally, he slammed the imperial table heavily, and the "bang" sound shook the entire Taiji Hall and startled everyone in the hall.

Someone asked: "Your Majesty, I wonder what the battle situation is like ahead—"

"Good fight!"

That slap seemed unable to vent the excitement and joy in Yuwen Yuan's heart at the moment. He slapped his thigh and said, "The King of Qin is really a master at using troops!"
