By the time Tu She'er and Chang Wan came to serve, the two people in the room had been completely separated, Shang Ruyi was still sitting at the head of the bed, and Yu Wenye was sitting on the low table in the center of the room, holding a glass of cold water and drinking most of it, as if nothing had happened.

It's just that Shang Ruyi's cheeks were reddened by a low-grade fever, and at this time, they were a little unnaturally red.

The two of them looked at each other, both a little embarrassed.

When Xue Daotong left today, he not only took away the third prince alone, but also took away some of the "redundant" people in the mansion, because there are not many people in Yuwen Mansion now, otherwise, they would not have known that the second prince had already entered the mansion.

But, fortunately, I don't know.

If you hit that scene like lying in the snow, it will be fatal!

The two hurriedly stepped forward to get busy, Chang Wan immediately changed a cup of hot tea for Yu Wenye, and Tu She'er walked over to serve Shang Ruyi and ate a few candied fruits that she had brought back to clear her mouth—although at this time, her mouth was probably not bitter for a long time, and then asked softly, "Miss, are you still uncomfortable?"

Shang Ruyi was embarrassed to look at them again.

After holding it for a long time, he whispered, "Go, bring lunch, and serve him first."

"Oh, yes, yes."

So, the two of them hurriedly went to the kitchen, and after a while, they brought a hot meal, although the dishes were not much, they were still home-cooked and delicious, but Yu Wenye saw that there was only one pair of dishes and chopsticks, so he looked up at her: "You don't eat?"

Shang Ruyi shook his head: "I drank the medicine, and I don't have much appetite. More on that later."

Yu Wenye turned his head to Tu She'er and Chang Wan and said, "Then you don't need to serve, let's all go down."

The two immediately exited the room.

So, there were only two of them left in the room, Yu Wenye sat in front of the low table in the center of the house, eating with dishes and chopsticks, while Shang Ruyi sat on the edge of the bed, looking at him quietly.

After looking at it for a while, she said softly, "Today, it was Uncle Xue who came back to take away the third brother, I thought about keeping the two of us, and I didn't need so many people, so I let him take some people away."

Yu Wenye nodded: "Did he say anything when he took the third brother away?"

"I made it clear to him about the third brother, but he didn't say anything."

"So, did he say anything else?"

"He said, Dad asked us to take time and go to Banyan Temple to see my mother."

「……」

Yu Wenye's expression darkened slightly.

Indeed, since the Chinese New Year, they enshrined the spiritual seat of Guan Yundui to Banyan Temple, there has been a lot of turmoil, and this one has finally settled down, and it is indeed time to go over to see her.

So he said, "In two days, when you are better, come with me."

Shang Ruyi nodded: "Hmm."

She thought for a moment and asked softly, "Is there anything important about the court meeting that has been going on for so long today?"

Yu Wenye glanced up at her.

Shang Ruyi's heart trembled, she didn't forget that the two of them were fine before, but because of something, they suddenly felt disliked, even at this moment, the two were barely reconciled, but the thorn in between them - or rather, that person was still there, not only in their hearts, but also at the court meeting that Yu Wenye went to attend.

….

But this time, Yu Wenye didn't dwell on this issue anymore, but lowered his head and took a sip of soup, and then said, "Guess what."

"Guess?"

Shang Ruyi thought about it, but quickly spoke: "Isn't it, the imperial court is going to conquer Liaodong again?"

Yu Wenye said, "How do you know?"

Shang Ruyi said, "Yesterday...... What I saw in Listening to the Crane Tower, since the warships are about to be built, the next step must be to prepare for the army."

Yu Wenye nodded and said, "Yes, in fact, everyone thinks so."

"Huh?"

Shang Ruyi was stunned for a moment, the meaning of his words seemed to be different from reality, so he asked; "Could it be that there is something else

What's the matter?"

Yu Wenye looked up at her for a while, and then said slowly, "Lei Yi is the opposite."

"Thunder...... Perseverance?"

This name Shang Ruyi was a little unfamiliar, and he didn't react for a while, but after thinking about it again, he suddenly gasped, looked up at him, and said in disbelief: "Lei, General Lei?!" It's the other way around?!"

Yu Wenye nodded.

Shang Ruyi sat on the edge of the bed, and the whole person froze for a while.

General Zuo Yuwei, Lei Yi ......

Lei Yu's, father!

Just over a month ago, when Lei Yu came to visit her for the last time, before leaving, she told her that she was going to follow her father to Hebei to quell the rebellion, and there has been no news these days, and Shang Ruyi didn't know if the process of their counterinsurgency was smooth, but he didn't expect that the last news came back was such a news! qqxδne

Lei Yi reversed?!

What about Lei Yu? Do they also follow her father, so what will they do in the future——?

Shang Ruyi was stunned and incredulous, and was stunned for a while before getting out of bed eagerly, but his legs were weak and he almost fell to the ground.

Shang Ruyi grabbed his arm and asked eagerly, "Are they really the opposite?" Why is it anti?"

「……」

Yu Wenye was silent for a while, sighed, helped her sit on the side of the low, and then said slowly: "Why is it wrong, there is no definite news yet, but what I can tell you is that this kind of thing is not uncommon. There were several generals sent by the imperial court to the south to quell the rebellion before, and there were six or seven out of ten, even if they did not oppose it clearly, behind their backs, they would not be subject to the jurisdiction of the imperial court for a long time."

「……」

"Even when I went to Xingluocang this time, I almost became 'leading my troops to flee,'"

Shang Ruyi couldn't speak, he only felt cold all over his body, and he was trembling.

Seeing her face gradually turn pale, Yu Wenye frowned, sat down beside her, and reached out to take her into his arms.

In fact, when he heard the news at the court meeting, although he had already expected some things, he was still shocked, and when he came back, he was even a little lucky, fortunately, Shang Ruyi might have left the Eastern Capital City, and he didn't have to know the bad news so quickly.

didn't expect her to stay, and the news was like a thunderbolt from the blue, which made her stunned.

Looking at her frightened appearance, Yu Wenye was silent for a while before he lowered his head and said softly, "In this world now, there is no one who does not think about himself."

….

Shang Ruyi's heart trembled again and looked up at him.

At this time, she remembered in a trance that Lei Yu told her before leaving that she was going to follow her father to Hebei to quell the rebellion, and finally left a sentence - in such a troubled world, a little soldier and horse in our hands is what we rely on to survive.

She thought for a moment and said softly, "You mean that their father and daughter went to Hebei to quell the rebellion, and they are likely to encounter the same situation as when you were in Xingluocang?"

When Yu Wenye attacked Xingluocang, the military rations were seized, the imperial court did not trust them, and there were even prison troops who interfered with it.

If it weren't for him, if he was an ordinary general, I was afraid that he would have folded there.

Yu Wenye let out a long sigh and said, "Even if it's different from me, it's not too much. Over the years, the imperial court has built the Great Wall, built the eastern capital, opened the canal, and also conquered Liaodong three times, and the rest of the battles are large and small, and there are more than a dozen every year, what do you think these are piled up? It's not just money, it's life."

「……」

"On the one hand, we want to suppress the rebellion, on the other hand, we want to conquer Liaodong, and there are so many projects, there are only so many people in the world, how can it be enough?"

「……」

"Now, the court has long been short of people, so it can only be dug from the hands of various princes and generals."

「……」

Shang Ruyi didn't speak, but in his heart, he had already understood.

This time, Yu Wenye was imprisoned in Dali Temple for interrogation, and the final result was not Sheng Guogong's personal entry.

At the cost of weakening himself, did he get back his son's peace?

She suddenly thought that the night before Yu Wenyuan left the Eastern Capital, he asked the two of them to go to the study to discuss matters, and when he mentioned the matter of the Lei family's father and daughter quelling the rebellion in Hebei, his face was a little strange.

Thinking about it now, perhaps, Yu Wenyuan had expected this result earlier than all of them.

She asked again, "So, General Lei, are they now on their own, or—"

Yu Wenye said, "I heard that they took refuge in Liang Shide."

"Liang Shide? The leader of the rebel band they went to pacify?"

"Hmm."

"Does this Liang Shide have that much ability?"

Yu Wenye glanced at her and said, "Liang Shide's power in Hebei should not be underestimated, but indeed, with him alone, it is not enough to force the Lei family's father and daughter to rebel against the court and take refuge in him. Judging from the news sent back from Hebei so far, he may have contacted two forces."

"Those two?"

"Wang Gangjun, and the Turks."

"Wang Gangjun?!"

Shang Ruyi frowned suddenly, the Turks have been in the north for all these years, except for this time when the emperor was on his northern tour, they surrounded Yanmen, in fact, there were several rebels in the north who were growing in strength under their covert funding, and because of this, it caused a lot of trouble to the imperial court.

Can Wang Gangjun? Didn't Xiao Yuandi just lose the battle in Xingluocang?

Hearing her ask, Yu Wenye said calmly: "I also thought that Xiao Yuandi retreated too quickly, although he was indeed unable to perform in Xingluo Cang at that time, but when I counted the grain later, I found that in addition to the more than 30 carts of grain he transported back to Wanggangzhai, there was also a large amount of grain missing in Cangcheng."

"That's—"

"Now it seems that the grain should have been used by him to make friends with Liang Shide."

「……！」

Shang Ruyi took a deep breath, it seems that they still underestimated Xiao Yuanyi, although he defeated Xingluo Cang and lost Xingluo Cang, he didn't just regard that granary as a granary, but really regarded it as a strategic resource.

Yu Wenye said: "Now, Wang Gangjun, Liang Shide, and Turks, they are united in Hebei."

「……」

"The imperial court has completely lost Hebei Province."

Shang Ruyi thought silently for a while, and suddenly said, "Then what is the imperial court going to do next?"

Yu Wenye looked down at her: "What do you think the imperial court will do?"
