However, the moment she reached out, a hand suddenly stretched out from inside the curtain, grabbed her wrist and pulled her in. Shang Ruyi was caught off guard and fell into the elegant room.
"ah!"
She only had time to let out a low cry before she was pushed hard against the wall, and a hand was firmly clasped around her neck, preventing her from moving.
But Shang Ruyi had no intention of moving.
She opened her eyes wide, and in a hurry, she met those familiar eyes, as bright and restrained as obsidian.
"It's you?"
A familiar, low voice sounded.
Shang Ruyi looked at him blankly for a long time, and finally spoke, her voice was hoarse and deeper than his, with a hint of trembling that could not be concealed: "Yes - you -"
The person standing in front of her was none other than her husband, Yu Wenye, who was supposed to be in the palace.
At this moment, his usually stern face also had a trace of emotion, as if he couldn't believe his eyes. He looked at Shang Ruyi again and again, and wanted to say something, but after saying those two words, he was speechless. .
Shang Ruyi was even more speechless.
Because she looked beyond the handsome face in front of her and looked behind him, where she saw a slender figure huddled in a corner of the private room, wearing a futou robe, dressed like a eunuch.
But Shang Ruyi recognized it at a glance. It was a girl dressed as a eunuch.
This girl is about sixteen or seventeen years old. She has icy skin and fair face. She is a charming beauty. Especially her fair face and a pair of big watery eyes with traces of tears. She looks like pear blossoms with rain, which makes people feel sad at first sight. Compassion.
But Shang Ruyi's whole body was as cold as ice.
She couldn't believe her eyes. Ever since she walked up to the third floor and accidentally caught a glimpse of a familiar figure flashing past this private room, she had been hoping that she was wrong, but...
"Second brother,"
A soft voice sounded in the private room, which was so quiet that there was almost no sound of heartbeat or breathing.
But the person who called out this name was not Shang Ruyi, who was frozen for a moment, as if struck by lightning, but the charming beauty. She stepped forward cautiously, looked at Yu Wenye's slightly stiff back, and said softly: "She is your——"
Yu Wenye looked back at her, then looked at Shang Ruyi.
His expression was complicated, and he did not answer the girl, but stared at Shang Ruyi with burning eyes: "Why are you here?"
"..."
For some reason, Shang Ruyi almost laughed while his chest was aching.
Probably because this question is so funny.
It was so funny that she even forgot to ask the question, but she still answered seriously: "I came with my uncle and aunt to have wine - even though you have gone to the palace, I still have to go home to visit them."
As he said that, he glanced at the girl again.
Then he looked at Yu Wenye and said, "Sorry to disturb you."
Yu Wenye's brows suddenly wrinkled.
Shang Ruyi reached out and pulled the hand that was holding her neck, trying to get him to let go of her. But for some reason, although Yu Wenye's hand didn't squeeze her until she could breathe, it never let go. .
The arms were like iron clamps clasping her tightly. Shang Ruyi grabbed her several times, but there was no sign of loosening.
She smiled again: "Do you have anything else to tell me?"
"..."
Yu Wenye still frowned and looked at her.
After a while, the hand finally showed signs of loosening.
