Shang Ruyi's heart sank.

But she didn't say anything, just raised her head quietly and looked at the word "Wang Gang" on the stone tablet outside the pavilion that was reflected by the setting sun as if it was stained with blood.

When Shen Wuzheng heard this, he said, "You don't even know about the new emperor's accession to the throne, it can be seen that this section of the road is dangerous and the news is blocked, and I also inquired about it in many ways to find out the news, but about the queen, it is really difficult to know anymore."

After speaking, he looked at Yu Wenye: "The second prince seems to care about the queen very much."

「……」

Yu Wenye glanced up at him, and immediately looked at Shang Ruyi on the side.

He was silent for a moment, then said, "Yes."

Shen Wuzheng's eyes deepened, and his tone became more solemn: "Why?"

But this time, before Yu Wenye could speak, Shang Ruyi on the side had already said softly: "Brother, you probably don't know yet, the queen mother watched him grow up, and besides, the mother is also very good to me."

「……？」

Shen Wuzheng turned his head to look at her with some surprise, and after a while, he said, "Really?"

Shang Ruyi smiled: "What are you lying to?"

「……」

"Therefore, whether as a courtier or as a junior, it is within his duty to care about the queen."

Although she was relieved of the siege by saying this, Yu Wenye's eyes when she looked at her added a little shadow than before.

Shen Wuzheng's gaze gradually softened.

He said, "Since the second prince is worried about the safety of the queen's mother, then when this matter is over, we can speed up the tutorial and rush back to Daxing City, and we can know the queen's situation."

Yu Wenye only nodded: "Hmm."

Shang Ruyi smiled again: "Okay, it's not early, let's hurry up and find a place to stay."

After saying that, the three of them went down the dirt slope together.

Shen Wuzheng went to the forest on the other side to bring the horse he was tied to over there, while Shang Ruyi slowly walked to the side of the carriage, just as she passed by Yu Wenye and was about to board the carriage, Yu Wenye suddenly whispered in her ear, "I'm worried that she will—"

But before he could finish speaking, Shang Ruyi immediately interrupted him: "It's okay."

「……？」

Yu Wenye frowned and looked at her, only to see Shang Ruyi say calmly, "No need to explain."

"Ruyi."

"Let's go first, we won't be able to find a place to stay later."

After saying that, she got into the carriage by herself.

Although the two of them were in the same carriage when they came, because Shen Wuzheng also arrived, Yu Wenye took another horse to accompany him, and the group converged the people and horses they had left behind before, and then walked east together for a while, and finally entered Glaive City when the sun set.

Here, it is the closest city to Wanggangzhai.

Although the world is in turmoil, and many cities have fallen in the war, Glaive City has always been prosperous, not because of the strength of the government soldiers here, but because there are dozens of temples of all sizes and many monks in the city, like a Buddhist powerhouse. Although the rebels continued to kill in various places, they still had some scruples about the monks, and no matter what the battle was going on outside, the place was always peaceful.

Therefore, many people who pass by this war-prone place will choose to settle here. ….

When they entered the city, it was completely dark, and the lights were turned off early in all parts of the city, and they could barely reach out of their fingers. They walked a little with torches and finally found a temple to stay in, and after a brief conversation with the abbot, several monks led them to a dormitory at the back of the monastery.

And Shang Ruyi and Yu Wenye were naturally arranged in one room.

The monk who had brought them over put down a basin of hot water and some utensils, and said, "Please rest early, two of you. The little monk retired."

After that, exit the dormitory.

There was a sudden silence in the room.

Shang Ruyi stood in the center of the room and subconsciously turned around

glanced at it, and saw Yu Wenye standing at the door, closing the door with both hands, and then slowly turned around to look at her.

The air suddenly became a little weird.

In fact, along the way, even if they didn't get along alone, they were relatively calm, especially after the trip to Songzhou, the two talked and exchanged frequently, and it was normal. But at this moment, the eyes of the two people looked at each other, but there was an indescribable tension spreading between each other.

Shang Ruyi subconsciously looked away.

She wanted to go inside, but found that this squatter room was very simple, except for two futons outside for people to rest and kneel, there was only one bed inside.

Moreover, this squatter room is too small, Yu Wenye's tall body stood at the door, as if it had filled half of this room, and the aura on his body diffused, almost filling the entire squatter room, making Shang Ruyi have the illusion that there was nowhere to escape.

Shall they sleep together tonight?

Just thinking about it made her feel as uncomfortable as a pinprick in her heart.

What made her even more uncomfortable was that even if she looked away, she could feel the gaze of another person in the room looking at her, with a little indescribable heat in the gentleness, and this feeling was so familiar.

Last time, two people faced each other in a squatter room in a temple......

She wanted to forget, but some memories were like needles pricked in her heart, taking root, and she couldn't pull them out and kept her in pain.

She was a little restless, especially beside this person, and whispered, "I want to go out for a walk. You, you can rest first."

With that, he walked past him and prepared to open the door and go out.

But just as her hand touched the door, the other hand suddenly reached over, grabbed her wrist and turned her in a circle, and pressed the door. Shang Ruyi's eyebrows furrowed, and he was about to struggle, but he was firmly held by a hot body that was clinging to him.

As soon as he raised his head, he met Yu Wenye's dark eyes.

He stood in front of her, his hands clasped around her arms, as if he had framed her whole body in the center of his body and the door, and she could not move.

Shang Ruyi's heart beat a little fast, but there was no expression on his face, he only said calmly, "What are you doing?"

Yu Wenye's eyes were cold, but there seemed to be a little flame burning in the depths of his pupils.

He said, "Are you angry?"

「……」

Shang Ruyi felt a little funny.

But immediately, she felt that the emotion she thought was funny was a little funny. So he sighed, looked at him, and said, "I don't." ….

Yu Wenye said, "If you say so, there is."

「……」

Shang Ruyi felt speechless. It is true that although Yu Wenye is not a person with a lot of words, it does not mean that he cannot speak well, on the contrary, if he wants to, his words can be sharper than his knife. What's more, if he can't say it, he can still do it directly, just like the situation between the two at the moment - no matter what, he can't have the upper hand in front of him.

So she sighed and said weakly, "Yu Wenye, whether I'm happy or angry, it's all my own business."

Yu Wenye looked into her eyes: "So, you're angry."

「……」

"Is it because I mentioned the Queen?"

「……！」

This time, Shang Ruyi couldn't control himself.

Her eyebrows furrowed, as if her heart had been pricked again.

And this time, her subtle changes were clearly captured by the eyes that were close at hand, Yu Wenye's face showed a look of understanding, he raised his eyebrows, and said slowly, "Sure enough."

「……」

Shang Ruyi bit her lower lip, only to feel that she was embarrassed again at this moment, but she immediately took a deep breath, raised her head to him, and said calmly, "I just don't want my brother to worry about me."

「……！」

Yu Wenye frowned: "What?"

Shang Ruyi said, "You should be able to see that my brother is a very sharp person

, not only in the big things that you men are good at, but also in some small things, he is also very careful. Ever since I was a child, he was the one who cared about me the most, and when I was a little unhappy, even if I didn't realize it, he would know before me."

Yu Wenye didn't say a word, and his brows tightened.

He said, "So, you speak for me in front of him, and you help me—'Cover up, also afraid that he will find out?'

Shang Ruyi sighed and said, "Sort of."

"Sort of?"

Yu Wenye narrowed his eyes slightly: "What do you mean?"

Shang Ruyi smiled bitterly and said, "When Uncle and they were exiled, I begged you to send someone to help me save them, I had that condition, I won't prevent you from meeting your sweetheart, not only won't, I can also help you cover up."

「……」

"It's just that at that time, I got the wrong person."

「……」

Speaking of this, until now, she still felt a little ridiculous, so she really laughed, but this smile, she didn't dare to face Yu Wenye again, she just buried her face deeply.

Hot eyes, as if something was about to drip.

After struggling for a long time, she finally calmed herself down, and continued, "But no matter what, my promise still works. Besides, this time, you went south to Jiangdu Palace to save my life, and you paid more than you did before when you sent someone with me to save my uncle and aunt. I, I'll—"

"Business, such as, meaning!"

Yu Wenye interrupted her words word by word, almost gritting his teeth.

And these gnashing words also shocked Shang Ruyi's heart, she subconsciously raised her head, only to find that the cold eyes that were close to her seemed to be a little red at the moment.

He's angry, ......?

In retrospect, although there were many emotions between the two of them, she never seemed to have seen him angry, and the only time she felt as if he was angry seemed to be the last time she offered to cover up for him and Princess Crescent in exchange for him sending someone to help her save the Shen couple.

But this time-

She felt the body clinging to her body being hot, as if a flame was burning in his body, not only was it about to burn his reason, but this fire seemed to be about to burn her body.

Shang Ruyi suddenly panicked, and subconsciously struggled: "You-"

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door.
