Shang Ruyi immediately understood what he meant, and immediately blushed, withdrew his hand from his hand, and muttered, "It's too unlucky to be liked by you."

Yu Wenye smiled faintly and said, "Do you think it's so easy to be my wife?"

「……」

"What's more,"

He looked at Shang Ruyi with a flickering gaze: "What you did is still Sheng Guogong's daughter-in-law."

As soon as this sentence came out, Shang Ruyi's heart also moved, and she suddenly thought that on the night when Yu Wenyuan discussed a major matter with them, the two of them were fine after leaving the study, but Yu Wenye mentioned this sentence, and her mood became bad.

And this sentence is also the reason why when he wanted to separate from him, he refused categorically even if he was cheeky.

He seems to have always remembered.

Shang Ruyi subconsciously said, "I-"

Yu Wenye said, "Why?"

「……」

"Why, you have to be your father's daughter-in-law, as if you care more about him than about me?"

Shang Ruyi's heart beat harder and harder, there was a haze that seemed to spread out of a very far-reaching dream, enveloping her heart at this moment, she wanted to say something, but when she opened her mouth, she was terrified, struggled for a long time, and finally said softly: "I-"

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion downstairs.

The two of them were originally very careful when they spoke, and they deliberately concealed the dangerous information that they knew to each other between the words, but suddenly they heard a noisy sound and immediately stopped.

Yu Wenye turned his head to look outside, frowning slightly.

Listening to the crane tower, although it is lively, it has always been lively among the drinkers, and the sound downstairs is shouting and screaming, obviously something is wrong.

Shang Ruyi subconsciously said, "What's wrong?"

Yu Wenye didn't speak, just listened carefully, and after a while, the sound downstairs was quieter, but there was a noise outside the window, it should be that the person who had just made a fuss came out of the Listening Crane Tower and arrived at the gate.

Shang Ruyi immediately got up and walked to the window to look down-

I saw a few officials escorting a woman with unkempt hair, shouting loudly out of the Listening Crane Tower, and the people around the onlookers were pointing and talking about something.

Could it be that it is to catch fugitives?

That woman didn't know what crime she had committed, but she looked at her appearance, with a cloth skirt and a hairpin, quiet and delicate, not like a big girl who did a lot of evil.

She sat back at the table and whispered, "The official has caught a woman."

Yu Wenye thought for a while and said, "Little Er."

When the shopkeeper heard the sound, he immediately trotted up from downstairs and nodded at the two of them: "Honorable guest, you were just argued, but don't be angry."

Yu Wenye said quietly: "I heard that the official sent someone to arrest someone, what's the matter?"

The shopkeeper sighed and said, "It's the people who escaped from Bohai County."

"Bohai County?"

Yu Wenye frowned slightly: "When did the imperial court mobilize the people in Bohai County?"

The shopkeeper was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Your guest probably hasn't heard much news from the outside recently, that is, more than half a month ago, the imperial court suddenly ordered the people of Bohai County to build warships, and I heard that tens of thousands of people were mobilized." ….

Warship?

Hearing this, Shang Ruyi's eyebrows frowned slightly.

She vaguely remembered that the last time she saw Chu Yang, he mentioned that he would take the waterway to transport grain and grass to Liaodong again, so this time the construction of warships was obviously for this.

And Yu Wenye didn't know about it, because he had been locked up in Dali Temple for more than half a month.

The shopkeeper continued: "I heard that within ten days, thirty warships must be completed, and those who fail to do so will be beheaded."

Yu Wenye's brows furrowed, and he said, "But isn't that a woman?"

The shopkeeper said, "This is no one in the government - hey!" He stopped halfway, slapped his own mouth, and then said softly, "This time the people are recruited,

I heard that there were no more men in the surrounding counties, so I swept the women over."

"What!?"

When Yu Wenye heard this, his face immediately sank.

Shang Ruyi couldn't believe it, and said in shock, "Even women have been recruited?"

The shopkeeper sighed and said, "It's not, the one just now escaped, but he was still arrested. Hey, it's a dead end to go back, I heard that the situation over there is miserable, those who repair the boat are soaked in water, and they are not allowed to go ashore for ten days and half a month, and the lower half of their bodies are full of maggots - oh no, there are worms!"

He laughed again, "The little one is too mouthy, don't miss the two of you."

Yu Wenye was silent for a moment, didn't say much, only waved his hand lightly: "Go down."

The shopkeeper saluted, turned around and retreated.

As soon as he left, the private room fell silent again.

Not only this private room, but the entire second floor was also quiet, but this kind of quietness was different from the silence when the two people were sweetly facing each other just now, but it revealed a suffocating heaviness.

At this moment, Shang Ruyi's heart was as painful as a knife.

Even if she doesn't want to, even if that person looks like a fairy and is infinitely gentle with her, even if he has the world in his heart and has great ambitions, she can't deceive herself anymore-

This is tyranny!

This is tyranny!

Just when she was so heartbroken that she almost couldn't even breathe anymore, she suddenly found that Yu Wenye had been staring at her.

Her heart trembled, and she subconsciously said, "What's wrong?"

Yu Wenye said, "What is the relationship between you and him?"

「……！」

Shang Ruyi's heart sank suddenly.

Although there is only one "he" in his mouth, Shang Ruyi's heart is very clear that what Yu Wenye is asking is Chu Yang, the son of heaven.

Her breath couldn't help but mess up, and she said, "You, why did you suddenly ask this?"

「……」

Yu Wenye's eyes narrowed slightly.

He was originally born cold and gorgeous, and there was a sense of arrogance in his bones, once he squinted his eyes and looked at people, it was as if he had seen through people's hearts, livers, spleens and lungs, Shang Ruyi only felt a cool breeze through his body, and couldn't help but tremble slightly.

And this time, it did not escape Yu Wenye's eyes.

He was silent for a moment, and then said, "Then let me ask you, do you know what kind of shoes you are wearing?"

"Shoes?"

Shang Ruyi was stunned for a moment, and then thought about it before remembering that when she entered the palace twice, Chu Yang asked people to prepare a pair of emerald green silk shoes for her, inlaid with countless pearls, jade pieces and feathers. ….

Shang Ruyi can be regarded as Jin Jiaoyugui who has grown so big, but he has never seen such luxurious and expensive silk shoes.

I just don't know what else is special besides precious.

She shook her head, "What is it?"

Yu Wenye said: "That kind of shoe is called Weaving Feather Step Fairy Shoes."

"Weaving Feather Steps?"

"Not bad,"

He said slowly, "It's His Majesty's favorite retainer, and I saw it in an ancient book. It is said that people who have immortal fate can become immortals when they wear such shoes."

「……」

"And Your Majesty, he has always thought that he is an immortal, so he will wear these shoes the rest of the time except for the court, so that he can return to the heavens at any time."

Immortals are in the world......

Shang Ruyi smiled bitterly in her heart, the first time she saw - no, it should be said that almost every time she saw Chu Yang, she would have such thoughts, it turned out that he himself thought the same way.

It's just that even if this "immortal" finally returns to the sky, what will he leave behind in the world?

Just as she was slandering, Yu Wenye's cold voice sounded in her ears: "This kind of shoe, even the queen, there is no one!"

Feeling a piercing coldness, it was a cold light flashing in Yu Wenye's eyes, and her eyes were as sharp as a blade, which made her face hurt.

he

Like, angry.

And this kind of anger is completely different from the anger when he mentioned that he wanted to be a good daughter-in-law of the Guogong Mansion a few days ago.

Shang Ruyi's heartbeat was also a little chaotic for a while, she thought about it, raised her head and met Yu Wenye's sharp gaze, and said seriously, "Do you think there is any ulterior relationship between me and him?"

「……」

Yu Wenye didn't speak, just kept looking at her.

Under the gaze of his gaze, Shang Ruyi's heartbeat was chaotic for a while.

She didn't retreat but advanced her rhetorical question, because she wanted to find out Yu Wenye's thoughts, and it was indeed because the problem she was facing made her upset. Ke Yu Wenye is obviously not a person who can be manipulated at will, and his soberness and calmness are even more beyond her reach.

Being watched by such a sober gaze, Shang Ruyi's heartbeat became more and more chaotic.

The man in front of her, although he is only two years older than her, has too much experience and temperament, and even surpasses the world too much.

How could she hide it from him?

Just when Shang Ruyi was almost about to lose in this game of minds, Yu Wenye suddenly said, "I don't answer your question, it's not that I can't answer it, but it's my turn."

「……」

"Shang Ruyi, are you still in the same mood now as when you asked me those questions in Xianglaiju?"

「……！」

Shang Ruyi's breath was suffocated again.

At the beginning, she asked him those questions in Xianglaiju - although it was to ask him, but in fact, her mind had been undoubtedly expressed in these questions, she was dissatisfied with the tyranny of the imperial court, and even thought that the counterinsurgency between Yu Wenye and Sheng Guogong for such a court was meaningless.

But now?

Does she still think so?

Shang Ruyi was silent for a moment, and said softly, "My mood is still the same."

"So, what about that person?"

Yu Wenye remained silent, but his tone refused to relax at all, and even said a little aggressively: "You feel the same way about him?"

「……」

Shang Ruyi's breathing was chaotic, her lips opened and closed slightly, but she struggled for a long time, but she couldn't say a word.

Yu Wenye looked at her for a while, smiled coldly, and said, "Do you know, you are indeed a good daughter-in-law of Sheng Guogong and a good daughter-in-law of the Yuwen family, because you are the same as the people of the Yuwen family - don't lie, only hide."

Shang Ruyi's heart moved slightly.

She looked up at Yu Wenye's clear and cold eyes, thought for a moment, and said, "Then do you still hide it from me?"

Yu Wenye frowned and said, "It's not your turn yet."

Shang Ruyi said, "No, what I'm saying is, is there any concealment in the words you just answered me?"
