Shang Ruyi stood in the middle of the empty courtyard, watching Chu Yang's back disappear at the door, and even the trace of leisurely cold incense left on the tip of her nose was swept away by the night wind, and she still couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.

What did he mean by that?

Shang Ruyi only felt that some chaotic thoughts buzzed into her brain, which was bigger than the shock of those Turkic soldiers attacking the city during the day, and it was not until Tusheer walked in from outside, walked to her side, and asked her how she was, and she barely came back to her senses.

"You, what's wrong?"

Tusheer said softly: "Slave, slave is worried about Miss. ”

Shang Ruyi immediately understood, and said with a smile: "Are you really worried, what will I have with the emperor?" ”

Tusheer hurriedly shook her head: "Of course the slave believes in the young lady's character. It's just that the words of people are terrifying, and His Majesty the Emperor's actions make the slaves and maids a little, and they are not at ease. ”

“……”

Shang Ruyi smiled, and then stretched out his hand to her: "I'm a little cold, help me back to the room." ”

Tusheer immediately helped her back to the room and sat down, felt her fingertips cold, and immediately poured her hot tea, and then asked, "So, miss, do you really recognize Your Majesty?" ”

Shang Ruyi took a sip of tea and said, "Not only do I recognize it, but you also recognize it." ”

"Me?"

Tusher was even more surprised: "How is it possible, I have never-"

"Didn't you almost scold him when he stopped our carriage?"

"Huh!?"

Tusher's eyes almost fell out of her sockets, and she said with a frightened face: "Huh? That, that—His Majesty the Emperor?! ”

Shang Ruyi nodded.

Tu She'er was frightened into a cold sweat, and said: "No wonder, no wonder those imperial doctors hurt you by taking arrows for Miss, when Your Majesty scolded those people for being incompetent, I listened to the voice so familiar, it turned out to be that person." ”

Shang Ruyi smiled: "It seems that your eyesight is not good. ”

"Who would have thought of this!"

Tusheer muttered in a low voice: "I heard that Your Majesty is in her thirties, and his daughter, the Crescent Moon Princess, is only two or three years younger than you, Miss, who would have thought that he would be so young, and he looks almost like his uncle." ”

Shang Ruyi couldn't help but smile bitterly - yes, Chu Yang's face was too deceptive, if it weren't for that, he wouldn't have guessed his identity until a few days ago.

Tusheer said worriedly: "Miss......"

"What's wrong?"

"The emperor took you back to the official office in front of everyone, what if my uncle knew about this matter?"

“……”

"He, will he misunderstand Miss?"

She didn't say that it was okay, but when she suddenly mentioned Yu Wenye, Shang Ruyi's heart suddenly cooled.

Yes, Yu Wenye.

Just a few days ago, she was eagerly looking forward to Yu Wenye arriving in Yanmen County as soon as possible, at least, at least when she felt hopeless, she could give her a little comfort, but she didn't expect that the Turks had called, she was already seriously injured, and Yu Wenye didn't even have a shadow.

What's even more ridiculous is that he is accompanying Princess Crescent Moon in the back, and he is involved with Princess Crescent's father here.

Is there anything more ridiculous in this world?!

Shang Ruyi smiled bitterly, his smile was already full of tiredness: "Okay, I'll still say that, even if we really want to care about this matter, at least wait until we can survive this difficulty." ”

"That's—"

"Go down, I'm going to rest."

Tusheer had no choice but to serve her to sleep, and she also withdrew from the room.

|

However, this night, there was not enough peace for them to rest.

Just when everything was silent and almost everyone fell asleep, the Turks launched another massive siege.

Shang Ruyi was awakened by the loud rumbling noise outside, and as soon as she understood what was happening outside, even the beams of the house were about to collapse. Tusher hurried into her room to protect her; The courtyard outside, although empty, could still hear the footsteps of many people in the noise, as if they were guarding outside the courtyard.

This battle was fought until dawn.

The noise outside gradually subsided, and the tense feeling faded, and Shang Ruyi understood that they had once again defended Yanmen County.

Only this time, the success of defending the city was much more difficult than before.

It's also much more tragic.

Tusheer went out for a trip, and when he came back, he told Shang Ruyi that the wounded soldiers in the city had spread all over the place, and the military and official doctors were not enough, so they could only listen to their wounded and wail, but no one treated them, and many of the common people also went to the north city gate to help.

When Shang Ruyi heard this, he immediately put on his clothes and walked out with Tusheer.

As soon as he reached the gate of the courtyard, he was stopped by two heavily armed Praetorian Guard soldiers.

"Young lady, where are you going?"

Shang Ruyi was taken aback, but seeing that they were polite, she also said politely: "I heard that there are many wounded soldiers in the city who have not been treated, and I want to help." ”

The two men glanced at each other, a hint of surprise in their eyes.

One of them said, "But, there's danger out there—"

Shang Ruyi said: "Isn't the battle over?" There shouldn't be any danger for the time being, besides-"

She looked at them with a twinkle in her eyes: "Your Majesty should just let you protect me, not let you lock me up, right?" ”

The two men were even more speechless.

It is true that the emperor sent this team of Praetorian Guards to guard the courtyard where the young lady Yuwen temporarily lived, and did not allow anyone to go in and disturb her, but it was true that he did not say that she was not allowed to go out.

The two of them pondered for a while and said, "Then, we will send someone to follow the young lady." ”

Shang Ruyi said: "Thank you." ”

So, she took Tusher and a few Praetorian Guards out of the residence.

As soon as I went out, I realized that there had become a human purgatory outside - those bloody scenes hidden by high-walled houses were completely displayed in front of Shang Ruyi.

On the streets, countless people come and go.

But these people were not loitering, nor were they wandering, but dragging one corpse after another from the city gates, and in the distance, the corpses of the dead soldiers were piled up, and countless wails and cries resounded in the sky.

But what is more in front of me is the pain of the living.

The wounded soldiers who had retreated from the front had already crowded the streets and alleys, and some had even collapsed on the side of the road without anyone to take care of them, the blood stains on the road were getting heavier and heavier, and the smell of blood was almost impossible to breathe.

Shang Ruyi hurriedly said to Tushe'er: "Let's go and help." ”

"Good!"

Tusheer was not hypocritical, and immediately went up to receive some wound medicine, and while helping the wounded soldiers to treat and bandage their wounds, he went to the gate of the northern city, and the further he went, the more serious the wounded soldiers, and the stronger the smell of blood.

Finally, they came to the gate.

As soon as he approached, Shang Ruyi was immediately stunned by the situation in front of him.
