As the Ninth Five-Year Honor, he stands at the highest place of heaven and earth, and if he wants to create an immortal cause, he naturally cannot be bound by any etiquette and dogma.

He, from body to mind, is infinitely free.

And over the years, the only thing that has restrained him seems to be the little woman in front of him.

He had a little bit of beautiful thoughts about her, and he was forced back by her tears, so that he could only retreat to the identity of "confidant", although for him, this was enough.

But now, it was she who approached him first!

Chu Yang's heart was beating wildly, like a hungry beast imprisoned in a cage, at this time he finally found a chance to break through the cage, struggling and roaring to rush out, and his body was also uncontrollably slowly approaching her in such a throbbing.

But at this moment, Shang Ruyi's hand suddenly retracted.

Chu Yang was stunned for a moment and said, "You-"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Shang Ruyi's retracted arm suddenly stretch out, and the slender and white palm slammed towards his face.

This momentary change shocked Chu Yang, and before he even had time to react, he felt a gust of palm wind, with a little bit of her slightly sweet breath, pounce on his face.

Even his sideburns were blown messy.

Chu Yang's eyes widened in shock, looking at the white palm in front of him, before he could react to what was going on, Shang Ruyi had already withdrawn his palm again, got up and knelt down in front of him: "Please forgive your majesty!"

「……！」

Chu Yang's heart finally came back to his senses after a period of drama, and he was furious: "Shang Ruyi, you are bold!"

Her actions just now, even if she didn't really touch him and hurt him, but just that action was already a crime of bullying the king, although Chu Yang was close to her and regarded her as a confidant, but as the Ninety-Five Supreme, where could anyone despise herself like this?!

And with a shout of rage, there was a sound of heavy footsteps outside.

A tall figure walked outside the bead curtain: "Your Majesty, Shang Ruyi is disrespectful to Your Majesty, and Weichen immediately killed her!"

After speaking, the sound of the knife being drawn out of the sheath pierced the silence here, and I saw Wang Shaoji suddenly open the curtain and walk in, and the bright steel knife had already swung towards Shang Ruyi!

Shang Ruyi was so frightened that he hurriedly raised his hand to block it above his head.

Seeing that the steel knife was about to be cut down, Chu Yang suddenly said, "Stop!"

「……！」

Wang Shaoji's hand stiffened, and the blade stopped on Shang Ruyi's wrist, he glared at Shang Ruyi, and then turned his head to look at Chu Yang: "Your Majesty?"

I saw Chu Yang's face gloomy, and his eyes were fixed on Shang Ruyi, who was kneeling on the ground, trembling, silent for a long time, and waved his hand gently: "Stand down."

Wang Shaoji said, "Your Majesty, she wants to assassinate Your Majesty!"

"She won't,"

Chu Yang stared at the trembling and emaciated shoulders and said, "Stand down, I will call you again if I have something."

Wang Shaoji was speechless, so he could only put the knife back into its sheath fiercely, and then turned to leave.

However, when he walked out of the private room, he glanced back at Shang Ruyi, the viciousness and cruelty in his eyes, even if Shang Ruyi knelt on the ground and couldn't see anything, he still felt a chill piercing his body. ….

Soon, Wang Shaoji left.

The two people in the private room were still silent, and Chu Yang kept staring at the twitching and trembling shoulders, and after a long time, he slowly said, "Explain."

Shang Ruyi still lowered his head: "Your Majesty forgives you."

「……」

Chu Yang narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "You'd better explain it to me."

Hearing that there was no longer anger in his voice, but the gloomy aura was still overwhelming, Shang Ruyi slowly straightened up and looked at Chu Yang, and said softly: "Ruyi just wants Your Majesty to know, just now, if Ruyi didn't withdraw his arm, Your Majesty wouldn't feel any movement, wouldn't you?"

「……！」

Chu Yang frowned

Frowning, she remembered her two outstretched hands just now.

"So what?"

"Fighting, and sometimes too."

「……」

"Sometimes, without austerity and temporary defeat, there is no room for attack. There is a kind of march that needs to be taken advantage of."

Chu Yang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at her coldly: "You mean, Yu Wenye's defeat is a method of warfare?"

Shang Ruyi said: "Ruyi is actually not familiar with military affairs, and it is impossible to know what the truth of the Xingluocang war is, but Ruyi just wants to defend her husband - a temporary defeat may not be a real defeat, please give him some more time and a little chance."

Chu Yang's face slowly became gloomy.

He stared at Shang Ruyi and said, "If you ask me to give him time and a chance again, do you think he will definitely win?"

「……」

Shang Ruyi's breath was suffocated.

At this moment, she still couldn't think of what the reason for Yu Wenye's three defeats in the past few days was, whether it was really not strong, or whether she had other plans, but at this time, she suddenly thought that when he was in Yanmen County, he rode out of the city, shot Ashina Chali with the strength of one person, and defeated an army of 100,000.

The earth-shattering moment still remains in her heart until now.

She took a deep breath and said, "I, trust him!"

Hearing this, Chu Yang's face sank, and suddenly showed a trace of ruthless anger, and he sneered: "You are doing your best for him, even at the risk of your own life, to fight for him to find a way out, right?"

「……」

"If I hadn't stopped Wang Shaoji just now, then you would have died under his sword."

「……」

"Then you will die because of him."

「……」

"Are you really that sincere to your husband?"

Shang Ruyi's face was pale, at this moment, even if she was in a warm private room, and even there was a red-hot stove behind her, her whole body was as cold as ice, and even her blood had a cold breath. She could only whisper, "He is Ruyi's husband, Ruyi died for him, and he died without regrets, not to mention—"

"What's more?"

"This death is also a death sentence."

Chu Yang stared at her heavily, and suddenly said, "Death because of him is another admonition to my death."

「……」

"Then are you dying for him, or are you dying for me?"

Shang Ruyi lowered his head again. ….

The tearing pain in her heart surged up again, she gritted her teeth, endured the severe pain, and said softly, "Ruyi doesn't want to die, Ruyi wants to live."

Chu Yang sneered: "Then, who are you living for?"

「……」

Shang Ruyi was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, raised her head, this time, her gaze was much firmer than before, and said word by word: "Live, I only live for myself."

「……！」

Chu Yang's eyes widened suddenly.

This answer was obviously something that Chu Yang did not expect, or rather, could not have imagined.

He looked at Shang Ruyi with a complicated expression for a long time, and finally let out a sigh of relief, and said, "If this is the case, then I will not fight for anything."

He subconsciously reached out and stroked his cheek, just now, Shang Ruyi stretched out his hand to him for the first time, obviously he didn't touch him, but he seemed to feel the touch of skin to skin, only that little, the feeling of numbness rushed straight into his heart, until now, his heartbeat has not calmed down.

Then, he gritted his teeth and said, "You'd better do what you say!"

With that, he got up and walked out.

Shang Ruyi subconsciously said, "Your Majesty!"

Chu Yang stopped, didn't look back, only said coldly, "What else do you want to say?"

Shang Ruyi said, "Then, Xingluocang's side—"

Chu Yang

Turning his face sideways, he glanced at her coldly, and said, "You are already dead, if I don't give him another chance, won't I really force you to die?"

「……」

"But, just once!"

「……」

"If he sends troops again, if he loses his troops again, he won't be able to take Xingluocang—"

Shang Ruyi's heart palpitated, and he looked up at Chu Yang, his handsome and innocent face was full of murder at this moment, and he said word by word: "I, never be spared!"

After speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Shang Ruyi stood behind the bead curtain, watching the long and merry figure disappear in front of him, his body was cold, as if the blood in his whole body was frozen into ice by Chu Yang's cold words just now, and it took a long time before he slowly regained consciousness.

She walked out and went downstairs with some husk.

When I got to the first floor, the guests who had just eaten disappeared.

Listening to the boss of the Crane Tower, they all stayed quietly behind the counter, not daring to look up at her, not even a gasp.

Shang Ruyi slowly walked out of the Listening Crane Tower, and when she looked back, this quiet restaurant seemed so unreal, as soon as she left, the place would immediately return to its usual appearance, and everything just now would be like a dream, completely shattered and disappeared.

Shang Ruyi didn't say a word and turned away.

The carriage that had sent her before was still parked outside, and the coachman stood aside, his face numb, and he said without the slightest emotion: "Please get on the young lady, and the little one will immediately send the young lady back to Yuwen Mansion."

「……」

Shang Ruyi glanced at him and didn't speak.

She didn't bother to ask the identity of the coachman, thinking about it, although the queen arranged for him to pick him up, but everything in the palace, how could she not obey the emperor's orders, Empress Jiang is hands and eyes are open to the sky, cautious, and she is not the emperor's opponent after all.

Shang Ruyi only nodded and walked over.

But just as she was about to get into the car, she accidentally saw a somewhat familiar figure flashing by out of the corner of her eye.

"Huh?"

Shang Ruyi's somewhat numb heart suddenly moved, and he hurriedly turned his head, but there were people coming and going on the long street, but they were all strange passers-by.

Is it yourself, is it wrong?

Seeing that she had not moved for a long time, the coachman stepped forward: "Young lady, is there anything wrong?"

「……」

Shang Ruyi didn't speak, but looked up again, and indeed didn't find any familiar figure in the crowd, thinking about it, he really saw it wrong just now, so he shook his head lightly and said, "It's okay, let's go."

So, he got into the carriage, and the carriage quickly left the Tinghe Tower and went to Yuwen Mansion.
