Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 988 Release
After returning to Qianqiu Palace, Shang Ruyi played and frolicked with little Yuanqian just like she did in the previous two days. She still took him to bed at night. Although she was disturbed by the child's crying after being woken up by hunger every night, she was happy to do so.

However, Tusheer felt more and more that something was wrong.

Although Shang Ruyi had taken great patience in taking care of Yuan Qian in the past two days, she always felt that she was not wholeheartedly committed. Sometimes she would be distracted, and when she was accompanying Yuan Qian, she would look outside the Liangyi Palace from time to time, as if she was waiting for something. Even when she was resting, she would reveal an expectant and uneasy expression. Her uneasiness made everyone in the Liangyi Palace become uneasy.

But fortunately, the news she was waiting for came quickly.

Only two days later, Yuwen Yuan suddenly issued an order to release the innocent Sun Xianyue.

The prince had no objection to this matter. After all, he was innocent. Even if it was to plead for the Pei family, many civil and military officials in the court were still pleading for the Pei family. There were also many such eye-catching words in the memorials that Yuwen Yuan reviewed every day. It was indeed not appropriate to keep someone in the Dali Temple cell for this.

So, after several days of imprisonment, Sun Xianyue finally escaped from prison.

Before this day, Shang Ruyi asked Yuwen Yuan for permission to leave the palace to visit her uncle and aunt. Because of the King of Qin's winning streak in the east, Yuwen Yuan approved her request. When Shang Ruyi left the palace and came to Shen's Mansion at noon that day, Sun Xianyue had already been brought here to recuperate. Looking at his pale face and seriously injured leg, Shang Ruyi felt full of guilt, and hurriedly asked Shen Shiyan to invite a doctor who had already been fully prepared to come home to see the patient.

The doctor carefully cleaned the wound, applied medicine, and bandaged it before telling Shang Ruyi, "Princess, this young man's leg bone is broken. He will need at least a hundred days of recuperation to recover."

Shang Ruyi asked: "Can he recover as before?"

The old doctor looked back at Sun Xianyue, who was sitting beside the couch. Although he had been silent, he looked up when he heard this and looked at him with burning eyes, as if he was eagerly expecting something. He sighed softly and said, "It depends on God's will."

Upon hearing this, Sun Xianyue immediately lowered his head.

Shang Ruyi's face turned pale, but she immediately recovered and said, "Thank you for your care in the future. Please see the reward."

Tusheer immediately brought the reward money. The doctor took the money, thanked him profusely and left.

Shang Ruyi sighed, but still walked up to Sun Xianyue and looked down at his weak head, and said, "Mr. Sun, don't be discouraged. The doctor just said that it depends on God's will. God's will may not be unable to fulfill people's wishes."

After hearing this, Sun Xianyue looked up at her again. His pale face finally showed some life. He nodded and said, "Thank you, Princess."

After that, he asked again: "Princess, why did the emperor let me go?"

Shang Ruyi smiled and said, "You are innocent and have nothing to do with me. Why shouldn't I let you go?"

Sun Xianyue thought for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "I thought His Majesty would blame me for the Pei family's affairs."

Shang Ruyi said calmly: "The emperor is magnanimous."

"Yes."

"Okay, take a good rest. You should stay here to recover from your injuries for the next few days. We'll tell you what plans you have after you recover."

"Thank you, Princess."

Shang Ruyi nodded, then looked back at Shen Shiyan and his wife who had been standing silently beside them, and whispered something to them. Then everyone left the room, leaving only Changwan to stay and help Sun Xianyue clean up.

After they walked out and arrived at the lobby, someone immediately brought them hot tea, but Shang Ruyi was obviously not in the mood to drink tea. He only looked at Shen Shiyan cautiously and said softly: "Uncle, aunt, I have caused you trouble again."

What she was talking about, of course, was that they were asked to take care of Lu Xiao before, and now another Sun Xianyue was sent over.

Hearing this, Yu only smiled bitterly, but Shen Shiyan sighed and said, "Princess, please don't say that. This person has a special identity. If you don't hand him over to us, who else can you hand him over to?"

"..." "Besides, he ended up like this because he was begging for mercy for the Pei family. Apart from anything else, I have to do my part for my colleagues."

"..."

"After all, the current situation of the Pei family——"

Speaking of this, Shang Ruyi and he couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

In fact, under normal circumstances, Sun Xianyue should be sent to the Pei family after being rescued, but now the Pei family, young and old, are under house arrest, and they are not explicitly forbidden to go out, just to save their face. In this situation, Sun Xianyue cannot be sent in at all. If she is sent in, it will probably arouse Yuwen Yuan's deeper suspicion.

Seeing that both uncle and nephew were gloomy, and the whole hall was filled with sorrow, Yu suddenly said, "By the way, I heard that the King of Qin won a great victory in the east!"

Speaking of this, a smile suddenly appeared on Shang Ruyi's face.

She smiled and said, "Aunt, only when Luoyang is captured can it be called a great victory. However, he captured several passes south of Luoyang, clearing the way for the subsequent attack on Luoyang."

Yu clapped her hands and said, "That's great!"

"..."

"When the time comes, it will be a great victory!"

Shen Shiyan also laughed, but while laughing he rebuked her: "Don't be too sure. If you are too sure, things won't be perfect."

"Oh, oh!"

Yu came back to her senses immediately, and hurriedly leaned on the edge of the table and pouted three times. Seeing her earnest and cautious look, Shang Ruyi smiled with eyes curved, and said, "Don't worry, aunt, I believe in Feng Chen's ability. He will definitely win a great victory this time."

Yu said: "That's good!"

The three of them talked happily, and they also eased their worries of not being able to see each other for these days. Shang Ruyi was talking, and she looked out a little absent-mindedly. Yu was so sharp that she immediately noticed her thoughts and asked, "Does the princess want to see Lu Xiao?"

Shang Ruyi said: "She——"

Yu said softly, "She was originally going to come out to see the princess, but when she heard that a man was coming, she refused to come out."

"……Oh."

Shang Ruyi understood her thoughts after hearing this and smiled softly, "She still doesn't go out now?"

Yu said, "She has been staying in the backyard, just like the nun."

Hearing this, Shang Ruyi recalled what they talked about the last time they met Lu Xiao, and she felt an indescribable sadness in her heart. She sighed in her heart, then smiled and said, "Since she won't come out, I'll go see her."

"Hey?"

Yu was a little surprised. She didn't expect Shang Ruyi to go see Lu Xiao. Shang Ruyi just smiled and said, "I have something to discuss with her."

Happy Dragon Boat Festival everyone!
