Shang Ruyi's mind became confused again for a while. He didn't know how to respond to these words. After thinking for a while, he managed to smile and said, "Why would he have such thoughts at such a young age?"
"..."
Speaking of this, Queen Jiang's expression condensed slightly.
But it was only for a moment that she regained her calm expression. She turned her head and looked at Shang Ruyi. Her gaze seemed to be scrutinizing, but it was as gentle as ever. She said, "No matter what, he treats you better than anyone else." More caring. I can see this."
"...!"
Shang Ruyi's heart sank again.
Is he interested in himself?
This is the second time I heard this today.
It seems that in front of outsiders, Yu Wenye has done very well indeed, or in other words, he has always been so calm and sober.
Shang Ruyi smiled lightly and did not answer the question again.
Queen Jiang also smiled.
After chatting for a while, Shang Ruyi stood up and left. Just like last time, Empress Jiang sent a few young eunuchs to carry her out of the palace, accompanied by the same chamberlain who welcomed her into the palace.
Along the way, they walked very fast, as if they were afraid of being stopped.
Especially when walking through the Anning Gate, Shang Ruyi even felt that the always stable eaves were slightly bumpy. Apparently these people had quickened their pace. She also subconsciously looked to the right side of the Anning Gate. The road to Xuanwumen.
But this time, no one stopped him.
The avenue was empty, except for the flying goose feathers and heavy snow that confused her eyes.
Shang Ruyi sighed softly, not knowing whether the throbbing in his heart at this moment was happiness or disappointment.
Soon, they left Xuanren Gate. The carriage that picked her up before was still parked here. This time she entered the palace alone, without Tusheer. Even the carriage was sent from the palace, and the chamberlain personally helped her. Shang Ruyi got on the carriage and saluted: "Young madam, please go slowly."
Shang Ruyi said: "Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law."
"Don't dare."
The chamberlain took a step back, and the carriage quickly left Xuanrenmen and sped towards Yuwen Mansion.
Shang Ruyi was sitting in the carriage, still holding the warm stove in her hand, recalling what she had experienced in the palace today - it seemed much more peaceful than the last time, but Queen Jiang's attitude puzzled her more and more.
Why on earth did she call herself into the palace again and again to let herself be close to her daughter.
Do they really need to be so close?
Her mood became more and more confusing, and noisy sounds gradually came from the street outside the carriage. Shang Ruyi didn't pay attention at first, but as she walked, she suddenly felt something was wrong.
On the way back to Yuwen Mansion from Ziwei Palace, it seemed that there shouldn't be such a noisy place.
Just then, the carriage stopped.
Before Shang Ruyi could make any move, he heard a smiling, familiar voice coming from outside the carriage: "Young madam, please get out of the car."
This voice——? !
She hurriedly raised her hand to lift a corner of the curtain and looked outside, only to see a somewhat familiar figure standing outside the carriage with a smile. It was the Jade Eunuch who had been to Yuwen's family last time to convey the decree and canonize him. However, he was wearing regular clothes. He looks like a wealthy butler. ….
Why is he here?
As soon as she saw him, Shang Ruyi's head buzzed, but before she had time to think about it, Eunuch Jade had already taken a step forward and said with a smile, "Young Master has been waiting above for a long time."
"..."
Shang Ruyi looked at him in shock, then looked behind him.
The place where the carriage stopped was not at the entrance of Yuwen Mansion, but at the entrance of Tinghe Tower, the busiest center in Dongdu City.
Even behind the Jade Eunuch, there were several tall and mighty men in regular clothes, who were obviously the Imperial Guards in disguise - the chamberlains and Imperial Guards were all here, and the people upstairs were no longer there. It goes without saying.
Shang Ruyi suddenly became speechless: "I
——"
Eunuch Yu took another step forward, almost reaching the window, and said with a smile: "Young Madam is already here, why not get out of the car and go upstairs to have a cup of warm wine? Anyway, we are here."
"..."
Come all come.
These four words seemed to have some magic power, nailing Shang Ruyi here.
In fact, it was not the magic power of these four words, but that she knew very well that there was another sentence behind these four words - can we still go?
Today, Queen Jiang sent her to the palace probably because she was sure that the emperor was not in the palace and that she would not be "robbed" on the way last time. However, she did not expect that after sending her out of the palace safely, she was found in the palace. Halfway outside, I was "robbed" again.
Whatever Chu Yang wanted to do, there was indeed nothing he couldn't do.
And he has always been a doll under the control of the emperor and empress. Now, there is no other way out.
What's more, she thought of what Princess Crescent Moon said about the governor's news from the Imperial Guard, and immediately made up her mind and let out a sigh of relief: "Yes."
Then, he got off the carriage.
Probably because of the heavy snow, there were not many guests coming to Listening to Helou today, but there were still many tables sitting on the first floor, but these people were not very noisy, especially after seeing Eunuch Yu and Shang Ruyi walking in, They all lowered their heads while drinking and eating, as if they were deliberately avoiding them.
It seems that even the guests in the building have arrangements.
Shang Ruyi only felt that a dragnet had been set around her, almost making it impossible for her to breathe.
She took a deep breath calmly and was led up to the second floor by Eunuch Yu.
It's quieter here than downstairs.
The private rooms that were usually full of guests were almost empty at this time, except for the largest one. There seemed to be a person in the private room by the window. The bead curtain was swaying, barely revealing a free and carefree figure.
Eunuch Yu led her to the door, saluted, and then withdrew with a smile.
Shang Ruyi stood at the door and did not go in immediately.
But inside the curtain, there was already a burst of cold fragrance, as if that person's breath had already captured her under his control.
After a while, a chuckle sounded——
"What, you don't want to see me?"
"..."
Shang Ruyi's heart sank slightly. At this time, even if she really didn't want to see him, she had no room to disappear.
Gritting his teeth, he stretched out his hand to lift the curtain and walked in slowly.
The room was filled with heat. If you look carefully, you will see that the corner against the wall is filled with heaters, making the place feel like warm spring. In the center of the room, there is a thick carpet with only a low table placed on it. On the table, there is an exquisite incense burner, two cups, and a pot of wine warming on the stove.
Also, a letter.
Shang Ruyi's heart sank immediately when he saw the letter, which had obviously been opened but had an unusual shape.
Then, she slowly raised her head and looked across.
A tall and elegant figure stood by the window, standing like a jade tree, holding a wine glass between his fingertips, as if he was admiring the scenery and tasting wine. The amber color of the wine was reflected in his slender eyes, and the flowing light was flowing slowly. He slowly looked at Shang Ruyi.
A leisurely smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"You came.".
