Tushe'er outside the door hesitated for a moment before he whispered, "No, it seems that it is, and my aunt has entered the palace."

「……」

Shang Ruyi frowned slightly.

Looking for Yu Wenye again, I just found him a few days ago, why do you want to pass him into the palace today?

Yu Wenye moved quickly, and immediately got out of bed and got dressed, Shang Ruyi thought about it, and also got up and dressed, "I'll go out with you."

Yu Wenye didn't say much, the two of them tidied up their clothes and walked out quickly, and sure enough, they saw that Lu Gonggong was sitting in the lobby drinking tea, and when he saw the two of them coming out, he bowed his hand and greeted him well, and then said, "General, please come to the palace with our family."

Yu Wenye said, "Yes."

Seeing that the two of them were about to leave, Shang Ruyi couldn't help but ask, "Father-in-law, is there anything important for the queen mother to let my husband enter the palace?"

Father-in-law Lu didn't expect her to ask such a question, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled: "Young lady, the matter of the queen's mother, as a slave and maid, don't dare to ask more."

He said it very politely, but the voiceover was also very clear - it wasn't for you to ask.

Yu Wenye turned back to her and said, "Stay at home."

Shang Ruyi could only nod and watch them go.

Yu Wenye left, as if she was the only one left in the house - in fact, he usually didn't spend much time at home, but this time, he felt very clearly that "he was not there", Shang Ruyi stayed in the house, and couldn't help but feel a little dull, even Tu She'er felt it, brought her refreshments, and said, "Didn't Miss sleep well last night, it's better to sleep for a while to make up for sleep."

「……」

Shang Ruyi was silent for a while and nodded.

But after lying down, she couldn't sleep for a long time, there was a brazier in the room, and the bedding was soft and thick, but she just felt cold and soaked.

Still, he's not there.

Shang Ruyi felt a little strange about herself.

Obviously, he lived the same life when he was away, why did he go to Banyan Temple and come back without him? Even if he went to the palace to see Princess Crescent, what would happen? Yu Wenye clearly told himself that he just regarded the princess as his sister, and he didn't need to lie to himself.

Isn't he really an empty lady like this?

Shang Ruyi felt that she shouldn't be, but on the other hand, she couldn't suppress the faint torment in her heart, and her contradictory emotions were so entangled that she was exhausted, and finally fell asleep slowly.

But when you fall asleep, you are also unstable.

It was as if she had fallen into the familiar nightmare again, only this time, instead of the frozen lake, where she lay was a boat, but the boat was leaking, and the icy river was rising and engulfing her in an instant, and the biting cold almost made it impossible for her to breathe.

Shang Ruyi struggled hard, but gradually, his hands seemed to have no strength.

Just as she was about to suffocate, suddenly, a familiar, warm and powerful hand reached out and grabbed her, and fished her out of the cold water.

She felt a moment of relief, took a deep breath, and opened her eyes.

As soon as I opened my eyes, a familiar handsome face came into view, and at the same time, there were a pair of gentle eyes, revealing some concern and worry: "Awake?" ….

「……」

Shang Ruyi looked at the person in front of her a little ignorantly, and after a while, her soul seemed to return to her body from a dream, her lips opened slightly, and after a while, she spit out a few words-

"Why did you come back?"

Yu Wenye frowned slightly, but immediately smiled and said, "What did you come back?" I've been back for a while."

"Huh?"

"I see that you haven't woken up, and I don't want to disturb you, just read over there."

Shang Ruyi turned her head to look, only to find that there was still a book on his couch, obviously just put it down, she breathed a sigh of relief, and looked up at him again, only to see Yu Wenye reach out and gently brush her sweaty sideburns behind her ears, and then said, "What kind of nightmare did you have to be scared like this?"

「……」

Recalling the scene in the dream just now, Shang Ruyi trembled a little again, and immediately reached out to hug him.

It was just a dream.

In reality, there is already him, and she doesn't have to be afraid anymore.

Feeling that the little woman's soft body was clinging to herself, trembling slightly, as if she had not completely withdrawn from the nightmare, Yu Wenye sighed softly in her heart, gently but forcefully picked her up and put her in her arms, while reaching out to caress her back, the warm palm transmitted his body temperature, and gradually smoothed out her disordered heartbeat and breathing, and said softly: "Nightmares are all fake, you are such a big person, why do you need someone to tell you this?"

「……」

Shang Ruyi was speechless.

How could she not have known that the nightmare was fake? But she knows better than anyone why she has been haunted by nightmares.

It's just that for this reason, she can't be honest yet.

However, under his gentle soothing, she finally calmed down, and when she looked up again, she found that it was dark outside, and there were candlesticks lit in the room, and she couldn't help asking, "When?"

Yu Wenye chuckled lightly and said, "I've eaten dinner."

"Huh? I've slept for so long?"

"What do you say? Let you catch up on your sleep in the afternoon, but if you sleep until night, it will not be easy for them to call you."

「……」

"Let's see if you can sleep tonight. If you don't sleep well, tomorrow - you won't have to send me."

Shang Ruyi immediately became refreshed and looked up at him, "When will you leave tomorrow?"

Yu Wenye said, "Early in the morning."

「……」

Hearing this, she was a little depressed and lowered her head.

Looking at her aggrieved little daughter, Yu Wenye's heart couldn't help but soften - he has never liked to indulge in children's affection, and in the past so many years, no one or anything can let him indulge; But now, this little woman nested in his arms is enough for him to turn the iron heart he has insisted on for so many years into a finger twister, and he can't push it away, let alone let go of her.

However, it was Shang Ruyi who came to her senses, as if she remembered something, she raised her head to look at Yu Wenye, and said softly, "You entered the palace today and saw the princess?"

「……」

Yu Wenye was silent for a moment and nodded.

Shang Ruyi thought about it again and said, "What did you say?"

"Didn't say anything,"

Speaking of this, Yu Wenye seemed to remember something, looked down at her, and said, "However, she brought me a cup of fresh milk." ….

「…… Ahh

Hearing this, Shang Ruyi seemed to remember something, and his eyes suddenly flashed.

Yu Wenye looked at her with a smile and said, "I didn't know that my good wife was so generous."

「……」

Shang Ruyi lowered her head a little weakly, but Yu Wenye refused to let her go, reaching out and pinching her chin to force her to look at herself: "Huh? You're so generous?"

Shang Ruyi is unavoidable, and he regrets it even more.

At that time, she only thought that Yu Wenye had no affection for herself, and she was a little pitiful for Princess Crescent as a golden branch and jade leaf, but she was so low, and she was even more willing to fulfill the two of them, and she also broke off her own thoughts; But who knows, so many things have happened after that, and now that the two of them have accepted each other, what she did before seems so ridiculous.

I could only bite the bullet and say, "You, since you treat her as a sister, I am generous, what's wrong?"

"Oh?"

Yu Wenye raised his eyebrows slightly, and suddenly said, "What if, I don't treat her as a sister?"

「……」

He said this very lightly, but unexpectedly, it fell heavily on Shang Ruyi's heart.

What if you don't treat her as a sister?

Actually, after those days, isn't that what she thinks in her heart? There is sourness and jealousy, but so what? If there really is someone else in his heart, can he still go to his heart and dig people out bloody?

Is it?

Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi's eyes turned red unconsciously.

He only lowered his head and whispered, "I can't be the Lord of the things in your heart, I can only be my own Lord."

「……」

"You can treat her as a sister, or if you have other intentions—anyway, I'm still me."

seemed to feel the uneasiness and sourness that suddenly surged in her heart, Yu Wenye's breath also sank, and the two of them stopped talking, just silent opposite each other, I don't know how long it took, he sighed lightly, reached out and gently stroked her, and said softly: "In my heart, of course it's you."

Hearing this, Shang Ruyi didn't speak, but silently stretched out his hand and hugged his neck tightly.

The two of them snuggled so tightly, as if flesh and blood were connected together, and even each other's breathing and heartbeat gradually melted together, and after a long time, Shang Ruyi buried himself in his arms and made a muffled voice: "Then, did you say anything?"

Yu Wenye said, "With her, I didn't say anything."

「……？」

Shang Ruyi thought for a moment and raised her head, "Did the Queen Mother tell you something?"

Yu Wenye was silent for a moment and said, "She said that the government and the opposition are very uneasy now."

Shang Ruyi said, "Because of the rebellion of the Lei family's father and daughter?"

Yu Wenye said: "The introduction is naturally this, but it's not all because of this. In fact, over the years, the imperial court's measures have become more and more unpopular. The rivers and lakes, the people, the court, which place is not panicked. Do you remember that when we entered the city today, we couldn't get in the queue for a long time?"

Shang Ruyi nodded hurriedly.

In fact, in the past few days, she found that there were a lot of people moving out of the city, although there were still some prosperous scenes in the eastern capital, but compared to the past when it was really stable and prosperous, it was nothing.

Even, even the teacher who was seriously injured by Yu Wencheng moved out of the Eastern Capital with his family after recovering from his illness.

Shang Ruyi couldn't help but say, "It's because Hebei was lost, so everyone has no hope for the stability in Henan, right?"

Yu Wenye said: "When the wind and rain come, it is not the trees that know first, nor the grass that knows first, but the birds in the bird's nest who know first."

「……」

"When the people do this, they have already abandoned the Eastern Capital."

「……」

"In this case, if Liang Shide doesn't fight the Eastern Capital, it seems that he can't get by."

Shang Ruyi couldn't help frowning.

She said softly, "Then, does the imperial court have any plans?"
