Chapter 271: The Empress of the Concubine
Tu Sheer outside the door hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: "No, it seems to be the news that my uncle has entered the palace."
"..."
Shang Ruyi frowned slightly.
Looking for Yu Wenye again. We just found him a few days ago. Why do we want to introduce him to 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, and the two of them Personal whole After straightening his clothes, he quickly walked out. Sure enough, he saw Eunuch Lu sitting in the lobby drinking tea. When he saw the two of them coming out, he bowed his hands in greetings as they were familiar with the place, and then said: "General, please come with us." A trip 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 true that the queen wants my husband to enter the palace? Is there something important? "
Eunuch Lu didn't expect that she would ask this question. He was stunned for a moment and immediately smiled: "Young Madam, I don't dare to ask more 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 watched them leave.
After Yu Wenye left, it seemed like she was the only one left in the family - in fact, he usually didn't spend much time at home, but this time, it was particularly clear that "he was not here", and Shang Ruyi stayed The room couldn't help but feel a little dull, and even Tusheer felt it, and brought tea to her, and said: "Miss, didn't you sleep well 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, I lived the same life when he was away. Why did I 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 falling asleep is not stable either.
She seemed to be trapped in that familiar nightmare again, only this time, the place she was lying on was no longer a frozen lake, but a boat, but the boat was leaking and cold. The river water kept rising, swallowing her up 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 suddenly felt relaxed, took a deep breath, and then opened her eyes.
As soon as I opened my 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. Her lips were slightly opened, and after a long while, she uttered a few words——
"Why did you just come back?"
Yu Wenye frowned slightly, but immediately smiled and said: "Why did you come back? I've been back for a while."
"Huh?"< br>
“Seeing that 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 she had obviously just put down. She breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at him again, only to see Yu Wenye reaching out and gently He pushed her sweaty temples behind her ears and said, "What kind of nightmare did you have that made you so scared?"
"..."
Recalling the scene in his dream just now, Shang Ruyi shuddered again and immediately reached out to hug him.
That was just a dream.
In reality, he already exists, so she doesn’t have to be afraid anymore.
Feeling the little woman's soft body close to him, trembling slightly, as if she had not yet completely escaped from the nightmare, Yu Wenye sighed softly in his heart, and hugged her gently but powerfully. Get up and put it in your arms, while stretching out your hands 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 such an old person. , why do people still tell you this?”
"..."
Shang Ruyi was speechless.
Why doesn’t she know that the nightmare is fake? But she knows better than anyone the reason why she has been haunted by nightmares.
For this reason, she still cannot be honest.
However, under his gentle soothing, she finally calmed down. When she looked up again, she realized that the sky outside was dark and candlesticks were lit in the room. She couldn't help but ask: "What? Time?”
Yu Wenye chuckled lightly and said, "We've already had dinner."
"Huh? I slept for so long?"
"What do you think? I'll let you catch up on your sleep in the afternoon. , Who would have thought that if you slept until night, Tusheer and the others wouldn't be able to call you."
"..."
"Let's see if you can sleep 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." "..."
Wen After saying that, she lowered her head in a somewhat depressed mood.
Looking at her look like a wronged little daughter, Yu Wenye couldn't help but feel soft in his heart - he never liked to indulge in the love between his children. In the past so many years, no one or anything could let him. He was addicted; but now, with this little girl nestled in his arms, it was enough to make him turn the hard-hearted 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?"
"..."< br>
Yu Wenye was silent for a moment and nodded.
Shang Ruyi thought for a while and said, "What did you say?"
"You didn't say anything,"
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 think of something, and his eyes suddenly flashed.
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 avoided it. It can be avoided and regretted 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 girl, but acted like a lowly person, and even wanted to fulfill the two of him, but also cut herself off. But who knew that so many things would happen after that, and now that the two of them have accepted each other, what she did before seemed so ridiculous.
I can 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 this very softly, but unexpectedly, It 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, can I still go into his heart and dig him out bloody?
Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi's eyes reddened unconsciously.
Just lowered his head and whispered: "I can't be the master of what's in your heart, I can only be my own master."
"..."
" It doesn’t matter if you think of her as your sister or if you have other intentions - anyway, I’m still me.”
It seems. Feeling the sudden uneasiness and sorrow in her heart, Yu Wenye's breath also calmed down. The two of them stopped talking and just faced each other in silence. After an unknown period of time, he sighed softly, stretched out his hand and gently touched Caressing her, he 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 closely, as if their flesh and blood were connected together. 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 sound. Muffled voice: "Then, what else did you say? No?"
Yu Wenye said: "Don't say anything to her."
"...?"
Shang Ruyi thought for a while 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’s not entirely because of this. In fact, over the years, the court's actions have become increasingly unpopular. People in the world, among the people, and in the court, are worried. Do you remember that when we entered the city today, we had to wait in line for a long time and couldn't get in?"
Shang Ruyi nodded hurriedly.
Actually, 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 because Hebei is lost, so everyone has given up hope on the stability of Henan, right?"
Yu Wenye said: "When the storm comes, It’s not the tree that knows first, nor the grass that knows first, but the bird in the nest that knows first.”
“…”
“If the people do this, they have already given up on Dongdu. .”
"..."
"Under such circumstances, Liang Shide seems to be having trouble even if he doesn't attack Dongdu."
Shang Ruyi couldn't help but frown.
She whispered: "Then, does the court have any plans?"
