Shang Ruyi's mind was confused again for a while, and he didn't know how to deal with this, so he thought about it for a long time before he reluctantly smiled: "He is young, why does he have such thoughts?"

「……」

Speaking of this, Empress Jiang's expression froze slightly.

But it was only for a moment, she regained her calm expression, turned her head to look at Shang Ruyi, her gaze seemed to be scrutinizing, but as gentle as ever, and said, "No matter what, he still cares more about you than anyone else. This can be seen by this palace."

「……！」

Shang Ruyi's heart sank again.

He, is he interested in himself?

This is the second time I've heard that today.

It seems that in front of outsiders, Yu Wenye has indeed done a very good job, or rather, he has always been so calm and sober.

Shang Ruyi smiled faintly and didn't answer again.

Empress Jiang also smiled.

After chatting for a while, Shang Ruyi got up and said goodbye, still the same as last time, Queen Jiang sent a few little eunuchs to carry the eaves to send her out of the palace, and she was still accompanied by the chamberlain who welcomed her into the palace.

Along the way, they walked as fast as they could, as if they were afraid of being stopped.

Especially when she walked through the Anning Gate, Shang Ruyi even felt that the eaves that had been stable were slightly bumpy, obviously these people had quickened their pace, and she also subconsciously looked at the right side of the Anning Gate, the avenue leading to the Xuanwu Gate.

But this time, no one stood in the way.

The avenue was empty, and only the flying goose feathers and snow confused her eyes.

Shang Ruyi sighed lightly, and he didn't know whether the throbbing in his heart at this moment was a blessing or a loss.

Soon, they went out of the Xuanren Gate, and the carriage that picked her up before was still parked here, this time she entered the palace alone, without Tushe'er, and even the carriage was sent by the palace, and the chamberlain personally helped Shang Ruyi to get into the carriage, and then saluted: "Young lady, please slow down."

Shang Ruyi said, "It's hard work."

"Don't dare."

The attendant took a step back, and the carriage quickly left the Xuanren Gate and galloped towards the Yuwen Mansion.

Shang Ruyi sat in the carriage, still holding the warm stove in her hand, recalling what she experienced in the palace today - it seemed to be much more peaceful than the last time, but Queen Jiang's attitude made her more and more puzzled.

Why did she summon herself to the palace again and again, to make herself close to her daughter.

Do they really need to be so close?

Her mind became more and more chaotic, and the noisy sound gradually came from the street outside the carriage, Shang Ruyi didn't pay attention at first, but as she walked, she suddenly felt that something was wrong.

On the way back to Yuwen Mansion from Ziwei Palace, it seems that there shouldn't be such a noisy place.

Just then, the carriage stopped.

Before Shang Ruyi could make any movements, he heard a laughing, familiar voice outside the carriage: "Young lady, please get off the car."

The voice——?!

She hurriedly raised her hand to lift the corner of the curtain and looked out, but saw a somewhat familiar figure standing outside the carriage with a smile, it was the jade father-in-law who went to Yuwen's family last time to pass on the decree, but he was wearing a regular dress and looked like a rich housekeeper. ….

He, why is he here?

As soon as he saw him, Shang Ruyi's brain buzzed, but before he could think about it, the jade father-in-law had already stepped forward and said with a smile, "Childe has been waiting on it for a long time."

「……」

Shang Ruyi looked at him in shock, and then looked behind him.

The place where the carriage stopped was not the gate of Yuwen Mansion, but the entrance of the Listening Crane Tower, the most lively square center in the Eastern Capital.

Even, behind the Jade Gonggong, there were several tall and mighty men in regular clothes, obviously disguised by the Praetorian Guards—the chamberlains and the Praetorian Guards were all here, and the people upstairs were already self-evident.

Shang Ruyi was suddenly dumbfounded: "Me."

——」

Father-in-law Yu took another step forward, almost reached the window, and said with a smile: "The young lady has already arrived here, why don't you get out of the car and go upstairs to have a cup of warm wine?" Anyway, it's coming."

「……」

It's coming.

These four words, like some kind of magic, nailed Shang Ruyi here.

Actually, it's not the magic of these four words, but she knows very well that after these four words, there is another sentence - can you still go?

Today, Empress Jiang probably passed her into the palace because she was sure that the emperor was not in the palace and there would be no more time when she was "robbed" halfway last time, but she didn't expect that she was sent out of the palace safely, but she was "robbed" again halfway outside the palace.

What Chu Yang wants to do, indeed, there is nothing that he can't do.

And he has always been a doll under the manipulation of the emperor, and now, there is no other way out.

What's more, she thought of what Princess Crescent had said, the news of the Overseers coming back from the Praetorian Guard, and she suddenly made up her mind and let out a sigh of relief, "Yes."

Then, got out of the carriage.

Probably because the snow was too heavy, there were not many guests who came to listen to the crane tower today, but there were still a lot of tables on the first floor, but these people were not very noisy, especially after seeing Father-in-law Yu walking in with Shang Ruyi, they all lowered their heads to drink and eat food, as if they were deliberately avoiding them.

It seems that even the guests in the building have been arranged.

Shang Ruyi only felt that a net had been laid around her, almost making her unable to breathe.

She took a deep breath calmly and was led up to the second floor by Gonggong Yu.

Here, it's quieter than downstairs.

On weekdays, the private rooms full of friends are almost empty at this time, only the largest, there seems to be a person in the private room by the window, the bead curtain is swaying, barely revealing a chic and arbitrary figure.

Father-in-law Yu led her all the way 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 the breath of that person had already enveloped her under her control.

In the middle of the night, 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 her, there was no room for her to be seen.

Gritting his teeth, he reached out to open the curtain and walked in slowly.

The room was so hot that if you looked closely, you could see that the corner against the wall was filled with a warm hearth, and in the center of the room was a thick carpet, on which was placed only a low table, on which was placed a delicate incense burner, two cups, and a pot of wine warm on the stove.

And, a letter.

As soon as he saw the letter that had obviously been opened, but the shape was unusual, Shang Ruyi's heart immediately sank.

Then, she slowly raised her head and looked at the other side.

A long and graceful figure stood by the window, like a jade tree, twisting a wine glass with his fingertips, as if enjoying the scenery while tasting wine, the pair of slender phoenix eyes reflected the amber wine, streamers, slowly looking at Shang Ruyi.

The corners of his mouth pursed a leisurely smile.

"You're coming."
