Chapter 146 Mountain of Corpses and Sea of ??Blood
Shang Ruyi stood in the middle of the empty yard, watching Chu Yang's back disappear at the door, and even the leisurely and cold fragrance left on the tip of her nose was swept away by the Ye Feng, and she still couldn't recover for a long time.
What does he mean?
Shang Ruyi felt that some confusing thoughts made her brain buzz, which was even greater than the shock of the Turkic soldiers siege during the day. Until Tusher walked in from outside, walked to her side, and asked her what was wrong, she could barely come back to her senses.
"Why are you here?"
Tusher said softly: "I am worried about the lady."
Shang Ruyi immediately understood and smiled and said, "Are you really worried, what will happen to me and the emperor?"
Tusher shook his head quickly: "Of course I believe in the lady's character. But - people's words are terrifying. The emperor's actions make me feel a little worried."
“…”
Shang Ruyi smiled, then reached out to her: "I'm a little cold, help me back to the room."
Tusher immediately helped her back to the room and sat down. He felt that her fingertips were cold. He immediately poured her hot tea and asked, "So, Miss, do you really recognize Your Majesty?"
Shang Ruyi took a sip of tea and said, "Not only I recognize it, you recognize it too."
"I?"
Tusher was even more surprised: "How is it possible, I have always--"
"When he stopped our carriage, didn't you almost scold him?"
"ah!?"
Tusher's eyes almost fell out of his eyes and said in horror: "Ah? That, that--it's His Majesty the Emperor?"
Shang Ruyi nodded.
Tusher immediately frightened into a cold sweat and said, "No wonder, no wonder those imperial doctors took arrows for you, Miss, and hurt you. When His Majesty scolded those people for being incompetent, I heard the voice so familiar. It turned out that it turned out to be that person."
Shang Ruyi smiled and said, "It seems that your eyesight is not good."
"Who can think of this!"
Tusher muttered in a low voice: "I heard that Your Majesty is in his thirties. His daughter, the Crescent Princess, is only two or three years younger than you, Miss. Who would have thought that he was so young, and he looked almost like a son-in-law."
Shang Ruyi couldn't help but smile bitterly - Yes, Chu Yang's face was too deceptive. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have guessed his identity until a few days ago.
Tusher said worriedly again: "Miss..."
"What's wrong?"
"The emperor brought you back to the government office in front of everyone. What if my son-in-law knows about this?"
“…”
"He, will he misunderstand the lady?"
It was okay if she didn't say it, but when she suddenly mentioned Yuwen Ye, Shang Ruyi's heart suddenly felt cold.
Yes, Yuwen Ye.
Just a few days ago, she was eagerly looking forward to Yuwen Ye reaching Yanmen County earlier. At least, at least she could give her some comfort when she felt hopeless, but unexpectedly, the Turks had called her, she was seriously injured, and Yuwen Ye didn't even have a shadow.
What's even more ridiculous is that he is with Princess Crescent behind him, and he is involved with Princess Crescent's father here.
Is there anything more ridiculous in this world than this?!
Shang Ruyi smiled bitterly, her smile full of fatigue: "Okay, I still say the same thing. Even if I really have to care about this matter, at least we have to wait until we can survive this difficulty alive."
"That--"
"You go down, I'm going to rest."
Tusheer had no choice but to serve her to sleep and also left the room.

However, there was not enough peace for them to rest this night.
Just as everything was silent and almost everyone fell asleep, the Turks launched another massive siege.
Shang Ruyi was awakened by the loud rumbling outside. As soon as she understood what was happening outside, even the beam of the room was about to collapse. Tusher hurriedly rushed to her room to protect her; and the courtyard outside was empty, but in the noise, they could still hear many footsteps of people, as if they were guarding outside the courtyard.
This battle lasted until dawn.
The noise outside gradually subsided, and the tense feeling faded. Shang Ruyi understood that they once again guarded Yanmen County.
But this time, the success of defending the city was much more difficult than before.
It's much more tragic, too.
Tusher went out and told Shang Ruyi that the wounded soldiers in the city were already spread all over the place, and there was not enough military doctors and official doctors, so he could only listen to their severe injuries, but no one was treated. Many ordinary people also went to the North City Gate to help.
When Shang Ruyi heard this, she immediately put on her clothes and walked out with Tusheer.
As soon as he reached the gate of the courtyard, he was stopped by two fully armed soldiers of the Imperial Guards.
"Mrs. Young Madam, where are you going?"
Shang Ruyi was startled, but seeing that they were polite, she also said politely: "I heard that many wounded soldiers in the city have no treatment, so I want to help."
The two men looked at each other, and a hint of surprise appeared in their eyes.
One said, "But, there is danger outside-"
Shang Ruyi said: "Isn't the battle over? There should be no danger for the time being, let's talk about it--"
Her eyes flashed as she looked at them: "Your Majesty should just ask you to protect me, not let you lock me up, right?"
Those two people had nothing to say.
Indeed, the emperor dispatched this team of imperial guards to protect the courtyard where Mrs. Yuwen lived temporarily, and did not allow anyone to go in and disturb her, but he did not say that she was not allowed to go out.
The two of them thought about it and said, "Then, let's send someone to follow the young lady."
Shang Ruyi said, "Thank you."
So she took Tusher and several imperial guards out of the official residence.
As soon as I went out, I realized that there had become a purgatory outside - the bloody scenes covered by high-walled houses were completely displayed in front of Shang Ruyi.
On the street, countless people came and went.
But these people were not wandering or wandering, but dragging one corpse after another to retreat from the city gate. In the distance, the bodies of the dead soldiers had piled up like mountains, and countless wails and crying resounded throughout the sky.
But what is in front of us is the pain of the living.
The wounded soldiers retreating from the front were already crowded with the streets and alleys, and some people were even slumped on the roadside without anyone to take care of them. The blood marks on the road were getting heavier and heavier, and the smell of blood was almost impossible to breathe. The official doctor and military doctor brought some people in the city to help and were busy everywhere, but they still couldn't take care of it.
Shang Ruyi hurriedly said to Tusheer: "Let's go and help."
"good!"
Tusher was not pretentious and immediately went up to get some wounded medicine. While helping the wounded soldiers deal with the wounds, he went to the gate of the north city. The more he walked forward, the more severe the wounded soldiers were, the more bloody the smell.
Finally, they finally arrived at the gate of the city.
