Tu Sheer outside the door hesitated for a moment, then said softly: "No, it seems that it is the news that my uncle has entered the palace."
"..."
Shang Ruyi frowned slightly.
He was looking for Yu Wenye again. He was just looked for a few days ago. Why was he asked to enter the palace again today?
Yu Wenye moved very quickly and immediately got out of bed and put on his clothes. Shang Ruyi thought for a while, got up and got dressed and said, "I'll go out with you."
Yu Wenye didn't say much. The two of them straightened their clothes and walked out quickly. As expected, they saw Eunuch Lu sitting in the lobby drinking tea. When they saw the two of them coming out, they raised their hands in greetings as they were familiar with each other, and then said : "General, please come with us to the palace."
Yu Wenye said: "Yes."
Seeing that the two of them were about to leave, Shang Ruyi couldn't help but ask: "Father-in-law, is it important for the Queen to let my husband enter the palace?"
Eunuch Lu didn't expect that she would ask such a question. He was stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled and said, "Young Madam, I don't dare to ask too many questions about the Queen's affairs."
He said it very politely, but his tone was also very clear - it's not something you should ask more questions.
Yu Wenye turned back to her and said, "Stay at home well."
Shang Ruyi could only nod and watch them go.
After Yu Wenye left, it was as if she was the only one left in the house - in fact, he usually didn't spend much time at home, but this time, he felt "his absence" very clearly. Shang Ruyi couldn't help but feel a little dull while staying in the house. , even Tusheer felt it, and brought her tea, and said: "Miss, didn't you sleep last night? Why don't you sleep a little longer to catch up on your sleep."
"..."
Shang Ruyi was silent for a while and nodded.
But after lying down, she couldn't fall asleep for a long time. There was a fire pot in the room and the bedding was soft and thick, but she just felt cold.
Still, he's not here.
Shang Ruyi felt a little strange.
Obviously, he was living the same life when he was away. Why did he go to Banyan Temple and then come back without him? Even if he goes into the palace to see Princess Crescent Moon, so what? Yu Wenye told himself clearly that he only regarded the princess as his sister, and there was no need for him to lie to himself.
In this state of affairs, isn't it true that I have become an empty and resentful woman?
Shang Ruyi felt that she shouldn't, but at the same time she couldn't control the slight torment in her heart. The conflicting emotions made her exhausted, and she finally fell asleep slowly.
But even when he fell asleep, he was restless.
She seemed to be trapped in that familiar nightmare again, but this time, the place she was lying on was no longer a frozen lake, but a boat, but the boat was leaking, and the cold river water kept flowing. It surged up and engulfed her in an instant, and the biting cold almost made it impossible for her to breathe.
Shang Ruyi struggled hard, but gradually, his hands seemed to have lost strength.
Just when she was about to suffocate, suddenly, a familiar, warm and strong hand reached out to hold her and fished her out of the cold water.
She felt relieved, took a deep breath, and then opened her eyes.
As soon as he opened his eyes, a familiar handsome face came into view, and at the same time there were those gentle eyes, showing some concern and worry: "Are you awake?"...
"..."
Shang Ruyi looked at the person in front of her in confusion. After a while, her soul seemed to return to her body from a dream. She opened her lips slightly, and after a while, she uttered a few words——
"Why did you come back?"
Yu Wenye frowned slightly, but immediately smiled and said, "Why are you back? I've been back for a while."
"ah?"
"Seeing as you haven't woken up yet, I don't want to disturb you, so I'm just reading there."
Shang Ruyi turned around and saw that there was a book on his couch, which he had obviously put down just now. She breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at him again, only to see Yu Wenye reaching out and gently squeezing her sweat. He pushed his wet temples behind his ears and said, "What kind of nightmare did you have that made you so scared?"
"..."
Recalling the scene in his dream, Shang Ruyi shuddered again and immediately reached out to hug him.
That's just a dream.
In reality, he already exists, so she doesn't have to be afraid anymore.
Feeling the little woman's soft body pressing against him, trembling slightly, as if she had not yet completely escaped from the nightmare, Yu Wenye sighed softly in his heart, gently but powerfully picked her up and put her in his arms. While reaching out and caressing her back, his warm palm transferred his body temperature, gradually smoothing her disordered heartbeat and breathing, and said softly: "Nightmares are all fake, you are so big You’re a human being, why do you still need someone to tell you this?”
"..."
Shang Ruyi was speechless.
How could she not know that the nightmare was fake? But she knows better than anyone the reason why she has been haunted by nightmares.
It's just for this reason that she can't be honest yet.
However, with his gentle soothing, she finally calmed down. When she looked up again, she realized that it was dark outside and candlesticks were lit in the room. She couldn't help but ask, "When is it?"
Yu Wenye chuckled lightly and said, "We've already had dinner."
"Huh? I slept for so long?"
"What do you think? I asked you to catch up on your sleep in the afternoon, but you didn't know that if you slept until night, Tusheer and the others wouldn't be able to call you."
"..."
"It depends on whether you can sleep well tonight. If you can't sleep well, you won't come to see me off tomorrow."
Shang Ruyi immediately became energetic and looked up at him: "When will you leave tomorrow?"
Yu Wenye said: "Early in the morning."
"..."
Hearing this, she felt a little depressed and lowered her head.
Seeing her look like a wronged little daughter, Yu Wenye couldn't help but feel soft in his heart - he had never liked to indulge in the love between his children. In the past so many years, no one or anything could make him indulge; but now, This little girl nestled in his arms was enough to make him turn the iron heart that he had held on to for so many years into tenderness. He actually couldn't push her away, let alone let her go.
However, Shang Ruyi woke up and seemed to remember something. She raised her head and looked at Yu Wenye, and said softly: "You entered the palace today and saw the princess?"
"..."
Yu Wenye was silent for a moment and nodded.
Shang Ruyi thought for a while and said, "What did you say?"
"Nothing said,"
At this point, Yu Wenye seemed to have remembered something. He looked down at her and said, "But, she gave me a cup of fresh milk."…
"……ah."
Hearing this, Shang Ruyi seemed to have remembered something, and his eyes suddenly flickered.
Yu Wenye looked at her with a half-smile, and said, "I didn't know that my good wife could be so generous."
"..."
Shang Ruyi lowered her head with a guilty conscience, but Yu Wenye refused to let her go. He stretched out his hand to pinch her chin and forced her to look at him: "Huh? Are you so generous?"
Shang Ruyi couldn't avoid it, and regretted it endlessly.
At that time, she only thought that Yu Wenye had no affection for her, and she felt pity for the Crescent Moon Princess, who was a golden branch and jade leaf, but acted in such a lowly manner, and even had the intention of simply fulfilling his wish and giving up her own thoughts; But who knew, so many things happened after that, and now that the two of them have accepted each other, what she did before seemed so ridiculous.
I could only bite the bullet and say: "You, since you treat her as your sister, what's wrong with me being generous?"
"oh?"
Yu Wenye raised his eyebrows slightly and suddenly said, "What if I don't treat her as my sister?"
"..."
He said these words very softly, but unexpectedly, they fell heavily on Shang Ruyi's heart.
What if you don't treat her as your sister?
In fact, after those days, wasn't that what she was thinking in her heart? There is bitterness and jealousy, but so what? If there really is someone else in his heart, how can I go into his heart and dig them out bloody?
?
Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi's eyes reddened unconsciously.
He just lowered his head and said softly: "I can't be the master of what's in your heart. I can only be the master of myself."
"..."
"Whether you think of her as your sister or you have other intentions - anyway, I'm still me."
As if he felt the sudden uneasiness and sorrow in her heart, Yu Wenye's breath also calmed down. The two of them stopped speaking, and just faced each other in silence. After an unknown period of time, he sighed softly, stretched out his hand and gently He caressed her and said softly: "Of course it's you in my heart."
Hearing this, Shang Ruyi said nothing, but silently reached out and hugged his neck tightly.
The two of them clung to each other so tightly, as if flesh and blood were connected together, and even each other's breathing and heartbeats gradually merged into one. After a long time, Shang Ruyi buried herself in his arms and let out a muffled voice: "Then , did you say anything else?"
Yu Wenye said: "I didn't say anything to her."
"...?"
Shang Ruyi thought for a moment and raised his head: "Did the Queen say anything to you?"
Yu Wenye was silent for a moment and said, "She said that the government and the public are very uneasy now."
Shang Ruyi said: "Because of the rebellion of the Lei family and his daughter?"
Yu Wenye said: "The introduction is naturally this, but it is not entirely because of this. In fact, over the years, the court's actions have become more and more unpopular. The world, among the people, and in the court, there is no place where people are not afraid. Do you remember that we are today When you entered the city, you waited in line for a long time and couldn’t get in?”
Shang Ruyi nodded hurriedly.
In fact, in the past few days, she had noticed that many people had moved away from the city. Although there was still some prosperity in Dongdu City, it was nothing compared to the past when it was truly stable and prosperous.
Even the teacher who was seriously injured by Yu Wencheng moved away from Dongdu with his family after he recovered.
Shang Ruyi couldn't help but said: "It's just because Hebei was lost that everyone has given up hope on the stability of Henan, right?"
Yu Wenye said: "When wind and rain come, it's not the trees that know it first, nor the grass that knows it first, but the birds in their nests that know it first."
"..."
"If the people do this, they will have given up on Dongdu."
"..."
"Under this situation, Liang Shide seems to be having a hard time without attacking Dongdu."
Shang Ruyi couldn't help but frown.
She whispered: "Then, does the court have any plans?".
