When Wang Shao and Zhai Ying left the warm dock, the rain and snow finally stopped, but the weather was still gloomy, and even in the tall palace, the light was a little dimmer than before.

This kind of dim light made the moody Chu Yang's face a little more gloomy.

That kind of haze seemed to cover the entire palace with a layer of clouds, which made people breathless, Shang Ruyi's chest was dull, and he didn't dare to take a breath for a long time.

At this time, Empress Jiang's gentle voice sounded in my ears-

"Your Majesty."

Every time, as soon as her voice sounded, it was like blowing a warm spring breeze in the gloomy atmosphere, and it also made people's dull mood lift, and immediately, Shang Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head to look at her, and saw her say softly to Chu Yang: "If Your Majesty has nothing to do, the concubine will leave as she wishes." The concubine still has something to say to her, no matter how late it is, the palace gate will be closed."

Chu Yang raised his eyes and glanced at her.

looked at Shang Ruyi on the side again.

Although his face was gloomy, there was something strange in his eyes, as if he did not belong to the temperature of this weather, and he was silent for a while, and he said, "It's so cold outside, did the queen come over?"

"No, the concubine asked people to prepare eaves."

"Then, the queen will go out and wait for a while, I still have two more words to tell her."

Empress Jiang hesitated for a moment, looked at Shang Ruyi again, and finally nodded, "Yes."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out.

As soon as she left, there were only two people left in the huge palace.

Shang Ruyi was not nervous, after all, this was not the first time she had faced this kind of scene, and besides, compared to when she was just interrogated, it was already a situation that she could relax at this moment.

But the next moment, Chu Yang stood up and walked towards her step by step.

She subconsciously wanted to retreat, but she understood that in this place, she had no way to retreat, she thought about it, and actually stood still, watching Chu Yang walk in front of her, and the leisurely cold fragrance that belonged to him hit again, like a moonlit night, like an immortal coming to the world.

Shang Ruyi unconsciously held his breath.

Chu Yang looked down at her for a while, and suddenly said, "Does it hurt?"

「……？」

Thinking that she would be asked about the details of the battle of Xingluocang this time, or that it was the old thing that was brought up again, Shang Ruyi had almost raised the hairs on her body, but she didn't expect that these two words would suddenly break all her defenses.

Her heart sank suddenly, and the wound that had already healed and scabbed, it seemed that at this time, there was a slight tingling feeling, she subconsciously moved her shoulder, and then looked up at him, but saw that there was a trace of pity in the slender phoenix eyes, and her eyes slowly moved from her face to her slightly trembling shoulder.

Shang Ruyi immediately lowered his head: "Your Majesty Xie cares."

Chu Yang said, "I ask you, does it hurt?"

"No, it doesn't hurt."

"Why don't you say it?"

「……」

Shang Ruyi was silent for a while, and finally said softly, "Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, and you really shouldn't bother for some trivial things."

As soon as her words fell, she saw Chu Yang suddenly reach out to her shoulder, and he was about to pull down her shirt! Shang Ruyi was startled, hurriedly took a step back, and reached out to grasp his clothes firmly. ….

"Your Majesty!"

Chu Yang's hand froze in mid-air.

There was a trace of pity on his face, and a trace of rejection anger floated, as if there were other emotions churning, several emotions were entangled in the past, and then looking at Shang Ruyi's vigilant appearance, he seemed to remember the first time she came here, when the silk shoes fell and the thin feet fell into his hands, she was aggrieved and cried.

His heart was entangled, and finally suppressed that bit of anger and sighed.

Then he laughed, "I've offended you again."

Shang Ruyi lowered his head and said softly, "Don't dare."

「……」

Chu Yang watched in silence

After a while, she finally sighed as if she was helpless, then turned around and said lightly, "You can go."

This sentence was like an amnesty for Shang Ruyi, but when she really wanted to turn around and take a step, she looked back with some hesitation - the last time she left from here, she didn't go back, only saw this warm dock standing in the Huanghuang Ziwei Palace at the end, lonely and lonely, and at this moment, looking at his back, I found that the temperament of this warm dock was just because of the master.

His back is even more lonely and lonely than any lonely and lonely place in the world.

Shang Ruyi didn't say anything after all, turned around and left.

It was just that at the moment she left, a long sigh sounded in the empty palace.

After leaving the warm dock, Shang Ruyi was a little confused, especially sitting on the eaves and shaking for a while, and was swept away by the biting cold of the rain and snow, and when he finally arrived at the queen's East Palace, the whole person seemed to have become a senseless ice sculpture.

Fortunately, the earth dragon here is burning hot, and Queen Jiang immediately sent a brazier and a hand stove.

It warmed up for a while before she finally came back to her senses.

When he looked at Empress Jiang, who was sitting directly above and looking at her with gentle eyes, Shang Ruyi said softly, "Thank you, Queen Mother."

Empress Jiang said gently, "There is no need to be so divided between you and this palace."

「……」

"Actually, this palace sent you into the palace today, I wanted to discuss the case of Dali Temple with you and see if I could help anything, but now it seems that there is no need."

Shang Ruyi looked at her: "What does Niangniang mean - this case can be closed?"

Empress Jiang smiled and said, "It should be."

Shang Ruyi's heart jumped suddenly, but after thinking about it again, he was a little hesitant.

The words she just answered were still unknown whether they could deal with Yu Wenye's words when he was interrogated in Dali Temple, after all, none of them knew what Yu Wenye said, let alone what was written in the document in Chu Yang's hand.

Really, can this case be closed?

Seeing that Shang Ruyi still looked a little incredulous, Empress Jiang smiled and said, "Your injury can't be suffered in vain."

「……！」

Hearing this, Shang Ruyi subconsciously looked at his shoulder.

also immediately thought that just now in the warm dock, Chu Yang stretched out his hand, almost touching his injury.

Her face turned pale, and then she turned a little red.

Looking at her complicated expression, Empress Jiang only smiled faintly, but she didn't ask much, but said again: "By the way, this palace listened to your answer just now, did you make it clear before you returned to the city?" ….

Shang Ruyi shook his head and said, "No."

Empress Jiang frowned slightly: "Feng Chen didn't have a good relationship with you?"

Speaking of which, it is actually a bit dangerous, as if they deliberately prepared an answer in advance in order to deal with the interrogation of Dali Temple, but Shang Ruyi also understood that Empress Jiang must not have the intention of inducing her, so she only said softly: "The second brother said that the war is their business, and the interrogation is also his business, so I don't want to ask more, so, no-"

"Oh?"

Empress Jiang seemed to be a little surprised, and raised her eyebrows slightly.

After pondering for a while, she seemed to have figured out something, but there seemed to be a trace of emotion in her eyes, and even really sighed lightly, and then said with a smile, "He doesn't want you to be swept in."

「……」

"The best protection for a person is to let her ask three questions."

As she spoke, she seemed to be a little emotional, and looked at Shang Ruyi for a while before smiling and saying, "He's very good to you."

Hearing these words in Shang Ruyi's ears, it was like a warm current, and the sweetness flowed into her heart, and even the chill that had just soaked into her muscles and bones was dispelled at this moment, and then recalled the night she and Yu Wenye got along in Luokoudu, Shang Ruyi only felt that there was a little fiery temperature in her heart, which made her whole body warm.

also

I couldn't help but blush.

After a while, she lowered her head and said a little shyly: "Niangniang knows him better than the courtiers."

Looking at the reddening of her cheeks, Empress Jiang smiled.

After laughing, a look of loneliness seemed to flash on her face, and she said lightly, "People like them, no matter how much they understand, it's useless."

「……」

"Because what they want to do is their own business, and it is meaningless for others to care about or understand, let alone affect them in the slightest."

Shang Ruyi's eyebrows frowned slightly.

She suddenly realized that what Empress Jiang was talking about was "them".

He, and whom?

As if seeing the doubts in her heart, Empress Jiang smiled faintly and said, "When this palace married His Majesty who was still the King of Jin, he was two years younger than you, and he was far less sensible than you."

「……」

Shang Ruyi didn't dare to answer this.

Although when Jiang Xinyue married Chu Yang, the king of Jin, she was just a child, but the story of this pair of good couples has been passed down for a long time, so that when she grew up, she also heard that the first emperor and the first queen chose a concubine for the king of Jin, and they were not looking for the nobles of the family, only Jiang Xinyue had a noble character, was smart and beautiful, and was canonized as the princess of Jin.

And where did it come from - the ignorance of things?

Shang Ruyi thought for a long time, and said softly, "Niangniang is too humble."

Empress Jiang smiled faintly, but there seemed to be a bit of bitterness in that smile, and said, "No, you don't understand."

「……」

"Although the age of this palace was not very old at that time, it was two years older than His Majesty, and the first emperor chose this palace as his daughter-in-law, and he also hoped that this palace could be by his side, advise and guide, and correct the gains and losses."

「……」

"It's a pity ......"

Speaking of this, there was a look of loneliness in her eyes.

Looking at her like this again, Shang Ruyi didn't dare to answer a word anymore.

Because the result is already in front of him, Chu Yang is a smart person, and it can even be said that he is a smart person who is difficult for the world to reach, but because he is too smart, he is stubborn and self-serving, and the advice of ordinary people is difficult to hear.

Empress Jiang was silent for a while, then suddenly looked at Shang Ruyi again, and said with a smile, "You are luckier than this palace."
