Chapter 397 In front of you, I will always be just Chu Ruoyan
Crescent Princess? !
As soon as he saw that familiar, stunningly beautiful face, Shang Ruyi suddenly felt numb in his back.
When did she come? When did you arrive at the Buddhist temple?
What did she see and hear?
These questions hit her instantly, making Shang Ruyi a little panicked. What made her even more confused was that the face of the princess was not shocked or surprised at this moment, but a kind of numbness that had lost its temperature. Even outside The sun was shining brightly, making the earth scorching hot, but she stood there blankly, like an ice sculpture without temperature.
Not even the sun or even the flames could melt away the coldness in her heart at this moment.
Shang Ruyi's heart gradually sank.
At this time, Yu Wenye had also come to his senses. He turned around calmly and faced Princess Xin Yue, and said calmly: "Your Highness——"
At this time, Xin Yue Princess Yue suddenly smiled at him.
Just now, her face was still as cold as an ice sculpture, but with this smile, her whole person suddenly became alive. Not only did she come alive, but even her surroundings seemed to be in a flash. The ice and snow melt, spring comes, and the flowers bloom, everything is different.
Shang Ruyi was in a daze, but before he could react, he saw Princess Crescent Step forward and said to Yu Wenye: "Second brother, you are finally back."
Yu Wenye Looking at her silently, he nodded: "Yes."
Crescent Princess smiled and said: "I'm here to take my mother back to the palace. I just heard that , you and sister Ruyi are back, so let the queen mother and the others go first while I come in to see you."
As she said that, she tilted her head and looked past Yu Wenye's arm to where she was still standing. In the shadow of the Buddhist hall, Shang Ruyi, who seemed to be unable to recover, smiled and said: "Sister."
"...!"
These two words made Shang Ruyi's heart tighten again.
Her breathing was disordered and her heartbeat was even heavier than when she faced Yuwen Ye just now, but she immediately took a deep breath, walked forward with a smile, and saluted her: "Greetings to the princess Your Highness."
"Sister,"
Princess Xinyue immediately reached out to support her and said with a smile: "There is no need to be so polite between us."
"..."
"I have been worried about my sister since we said goodbye to each other at that village. I am afraid that something unexpected will happen to you. I have inquired many times, but there is no news about you."
"... ..."
"Now that I see you and my second brother are back safely, I feel relieved."
"..."
She is still as charming and charming as before, and her voice carries an irresistible sweetness. But for some reason, Shang Ruyi's heart could not be completely calm when he faced her in the past. Now, even more so It is under the calm surface that things are turning upside down.
Crescent Moon Princess, how can you be so calm?
Not to mention what she saw and heard just now, how much impact it would have on a woman who loves Yu Wenye to the core - even if her feelings were not responded to at the beginning, after listening to He Lou would be in agony when he saw the two of them meeting. Why was she so calm at this moment, as if nothing had happened?
More importantly -
Chu Yang.
Her father, His Majesty the Emperor of the Daye Dynasty, died, and he died in Jiangdu Palace, in front of her.
Wang Shaoji even told the world that he was regicide!
Even if Eunuch Yu returned to Daxing Palace in advance and told them all the truth; even if she had just met Empress Dowager Jiang and told her the conclusion of the matter, in her heart, she really had no idea A little bit of grudge, can you still be the same as before when facing yourself?
Shang Ruyi asked himself that it was impossible.
Even if she didn't really do anything, facing the Crescent Princess, she still felt a little weak, but she couldn't say anything. She could only force out a smile and said softly: " Thank you, Your Highness, for remembering me——"
She was so confused that she didn't even know what to say.
Crescent Princess immediately smiled again and said: "Sister, do you have anything to say to me?"
At this moment, Yu Wenye said: "She has nothing to say to you, I Yes. "
The Crescent Moon Princess turned her head and looked at him, her bright almond eyes wide open, full of light when she looked at Yu Wenye.
And Yu Wenye looked down at Shang Ruyi again and said, "You go down and rest first. I have something to say to His Highness. After I finish speaking, I will come back to you."
"..."
Shang Ruyi looked at him, nodded slightly, and then returned to the Jushi Forest along the way he came.
But for some reason, when she turned her back to them and left, Shang Ruyi suddenly felt an inexplicable chill, as if there was a sharp knife-like gaze staring at her from behind, almost piercing her heart. Body.
She turned her head subconsciously, but met the smiling eyes of the Crescent Moon Princess.
She said: "Sister, I will continue to come to the palace to see me as often as before."
"..."
Shang Ruyi's heartbeat was a little chaotic - just now, could it be his own illusion.
She met the gentle but calm gaze of Yu Wenye on the side again. His calmness gave her some strength to relax. Shang Ruyi took a breath, smiled and nodded to Princess Crescent: "Yes."
After saying that, he left. Yu Wenye and Princess Crescent Moon were left outside the Buddhist hall. The two of them kept watching Shang Ruyi's back disappearing in front. Yuwen Ye then turned his head, lowered his head, and met Princess Crescent Moon's smiling and affectionate gaze. , seems to have been watching him like this from a long time ago. After so many years, it has remained unchanged, even now.
Yu Wenye thought for a while and said: "Your Highness."
"Second brother,"
Princess Crescent Moon interrupted him and said with a delicate smile: "You don't want to Is it okay to call me that?”
“…”
“I still want to hear you call me Xinyue, or Ruoyan”
Yu Wenye looked at her solemnly: "But you are now the eldest princess."
Princess Crescent Moon's expression darkened.
But the next moment, she looked at Yu Wenye with a smile again, her gentle eyes added a bit of persistent affection, and said softly: "But you know clearly, no matter if I am a princess or Princess, no matter who I am, in front of you, I will always be It's Chu Ruoyan."
As she said that, she smiled softly and said, "I know what you want to say to me when you stay, second brother, but when Yu Mingli came back, you had already told me everything. I said it.”
“……”
"Just now, my mother also told me."
"..."
"Second brother, I actually don't care about anything. As long as you come back safely, it is the most important thing to me." It's important."
She looked at Yu Wenye with wide eyes. Not only did she have the same seriousness and dedication to him as before, but she also had a deep affection that could not be eroded by time.
She said: "Really."

After leaving the Buddhist hall, Shang Ruyi still couldn't relax.
She walked down the corridor step by step, as if she was filled with lead. The sound of her footsteps vibrated back and forth, which made her unable to calm down.
Crescent Princess, Chu Ruoyan.
This woman who is so beautiful that one cannot help but pity her. Although she is so beautiful and favored by thousands of people, she has never been arrogant and overbearing. Instead, she is facing her - this woman who clearly makes her cry and feel lost. When she was a "love rival", she only had tenderness and kindness. Shang Ruyi could understand to some extent that it was because she had such deep feelings for Yu Wenye, and also because of Empress Dowager Jiang's gentle comfort, which made her heart pure, without hatred, let alone understanding. hatred.
But what now?
After all this, is her mind still as pure and innocent as before?
If this is really the case, then how should I face her after experiencing Chu Yang's death and all these emotional entanglements?
Shang Ruyi felt confused and confused.
At this moment, a sound of Buddha's trumpet suddenly came from the front.
The voice was deep and deep, but it also carried an indescribable tranquility. It was like a breeze that instantly swept away the boredom and dust in people's hearts. Shang Ruyi suddenly felt a movement in his heart and subconsciously raised his head.
But I saw the Lecture Pavilion not far ahead. The doors and windows had already been opened. Many people should have left. At this moment, there were still a few old monks wearing cassocks who seemed to have advanced cultivation. He walked out slowly, probably the last person to leave. As they walked, they whispered something. Some of them had solemn expressions, as if they were troubled by the dust in their hearts, while some had clear eyes, as if they were enlightened, and their spiritual platform was clear.
Sure enough, the three empty sounds just heard marked the end of the inner altar ceremony.
That——
Shang Ruyi's heart moved, and he subconsciously stopped and looked at the door of the Lecture Pavilion.
Old monks came out one after another, but there was no expected figure. Speaking of which, she had never seen the eldest son of the Yuwen family. She didn't know what he looked like, but these things appeared before her. A practitioner of this age is obviously not what he should be.
Thinking about this, Shang Ruyi couldn't help but think again, what should he look like?
The rumored Yu Wenzhen is knowledgeable and handsome. In addition, he is a practitioner. Compared with his cold and resolute younger brother, he should be more elegant and refined than the worldly master.
Shang Ruyi stood at the end of the corridor and looked carefully at the person coming out of the lecture pavilion.
But none of them can be called these four words.
She couldn't help but wonder if Yuwen Sui had already left after those three blasts.
But if he leaves, where will he go?
Although she knew that she should not - or in other words, was not suitable to meet him, at this time, Shang Ruyi felt a little strange curiosity about the eldest son Yuwen. She stretched out her hand to support her. The red pillars in the sky counted the monks who came out of the lecture pavilion one by one.
Looking at it, the lecture hall was almost empty.
Shang Ruyi felt a little indescribable in her heart, but she was also a little lucky. After all, if Yu Wenzhen really came out, she still didn’t know how to face him - but she also knew in her heart, No matter what, they must meet, and she must face him.
Just when she breathed a sigh of relief, but felt even more entangled in her heart, a somewhat familiar figure walked out of the lecture pavilion.
