In the next two days, Shang Ruyi never left the yard again.

It's not that she doesn't want to go out, but in the past two days, the number of people passing by her small yard has suddenly increased, and these people's eyes are full of contempt and disdain. They often give her a look and then walk away with a smile.

Shang Ruyi quickly understood what was going on.

In the past, when a hundred thousand Turkic troops pressed into the territory, at the moment of life and death, no matter how big the issue was, they could only forget about it. But now that the crisis has been resolved, and everyone is free, some unflattering rumors gradually spread.

On this day, Tusheer even heard someone "whispering" in the corner outside the courtyard——

"Have you heard? Your Majesty has taken special care to send delicious and useful things here every day. The empresses in the harem don't have this kind of treatment."

"Is there any way? I have the ability."

"I heard that Second Young Master Yuwen was so angry that he didn't even take medicine for the past two days."

"Young Master is such a great person. He thought he would definitely marry a fairy. Who would have thought that he would marry such a person?"

Before he finished speaking, a basin of cold water fell from the sky, and the people who were speaking immediately screamed, cursed and ran away.

Shang Ruyi stood under the eaves, with no expression on his pale face. He just watched Tusheer angrily walk back with a washbasin, and said angrily: "Humph, if you keep talking nonsense, I will use a chamber pot to splash them next time." !”

"..."

Seeing her unconvinced look, Shang Ruyi smiled lightly.

Tu Sheer said worriedly: "Miss, this rumor is so ugly, how can it be possible if it continues to spread?"

Shang Ruyi said lightly: "I can't control other people's gossip."

"..."

"Is it possible that I can still pull out their tongues?"

Tusheer sighed helplessly.

However, her words seemed to come true. On the third day, there were suddenly fewer people passing by outside. Even those who had to come in to serve did not dare to do anything inappropriate or even look at Shang Ruyi. He didn't dare. Tusheer was very confused. When he went out to inquire, he found out that His Majesty the Emperor ordered to pull out the tongues of several palace maids and eunuchs who were spreading gossip.

Everyone was in danger, and the rumors stopped immediately.

Although the result was satisfactory, Tu Sheer was still frightened and carefully told Shang Ruyi: "I heard that those people... didn't even survive last night and all died..."

Shang Ruyi looked solemn, but was speechless.

In the evening, it gets dark earlier in Shuobei than in the Central Plains. Just after dinner, Tusheer lit the candlesticks everywhere in the room. When he looked back, Shang Ruyi was sitting by the bed in a daze, so he asked: "Miss, would you like some hot tea?"

Shang Ruyi looked up at her and said, "No, you go down and rest."

Tu Sheer said: "It's still so early. Miss, don't you want me to accompany you?"

Shang Ruyi shook his head: "Go down."

"..."

Tusheer suddenly seemed to feel something. He looked at her and then at the dark sky outside. After thinking for a while, he said: "Then, I will leave first. Miss... if anything happens, just call me." yes."

Shang Ruyi nodded.

Although this girl is usually a bit impulsive and a bit dull, sometimes she seems to be too smart.

As soon as she left, the courtyard became quieter.

There was no sound of anyone inside or outside, only the wind whistled across the courtyard wall, as if even the bright moon in the sky was about to be swept away by the wind.

Gradually, Shang Ruyi heard a burst of light footsteps in the wind.

She stood up immediately, and as soon as she walked to the door, the door was pushed open.

The first thing that came to him was a very familiar, cold fragrance. Because of the cold wind, the fragrance became faint, but it gave people a deep feeling. Shang Ruyi shrank subconsciously.

After a moment, he looked up again and met a pair of slender, smiling eyes.

It's Chu Yang.

He was wearing a snow-white fox fur coat, and the thick and fluffy fur rubbed his fair cheeks, making him even more noble and gorgeous.

Shang Ruyi hurriedly kowtowed: "I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Chu Yang's brows immediately frowned: "Huh?"

Hearing his voice, Shang Ruyi came back to his senses, thought for a moment, and said softly: "Ruyi, pay homage to Your Majesty."

A chuckle sounded above his head.

Chu Yang walked into the room from her side, and there was a rustling sound behind him. Then, he seemed to sit on the couch on the side of the room, and said: "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Shang Ruyi stood up but did not close the door. When he turned around, he found that Chu Yang had taken off his thick fox fur and put it aside.

However, without closing the door, the cold wind came in and immediately made his fingertips turn red.

He said: "Close the door."

"..."

Shang Ruyi hesitated for a moment, but then said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Ruyi cannot close this door."

Chu Yang raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why can't it be closed?"

Shang Ruyi said: "If you don't close the door, there will be cold wind; if you close the door, there will be cold words."

"..."

There was a cold light in Chu Yang's eyes. After a while, he said with a smile but not a smile: "You are a cautious person."

"Under the fields of melons and plum trees, people's words are scary."

"Are you blaming me?"

"Ruyi didn't dare. Besides, Ruyi was seriously injured and fell into coma that day. If not for His Majesty's protection, Ruyi would have died long ago."

"..."

"It's just that if you are still alive, you can't help but care about rumors."

After hearing this, for some reason, Chu Yang's eyes showed a hint of coldness. After a while, he said calmly: "I thought you and I were the same person."

Hearing this, Shang Ruyi was shocked. She couldn't help but look up at Chu Yang: "Your Majesty, are you a person who is not afraid of rumors?"

Chu Yang sneered and said: "If I am a person who is afraid of rumors, then I shouldn't do many things."

Shang Ruyi immediately understood that what he was talking about was the attack on western Liaoning, the construction of the eastern capital, and even the construction of canals and other major things he had done after taking the throne. Each of them was at the forefront and was criticized by the people, but he,

Still did it firmly.

Shang Ruyi pondered for a long time and then said calmly: "Your Majesty has a perseverance and perseverance, which is unparalleled by others."

"..."

"But Ruyi is just a daughter-in-law. All she can think about is her own world and the family she cares about. She cannot match His Majesty's far-sighted vision."

Hearing her obviously distant words, Chu Yang's brows tightened even more.

After a long silence, he sighed softly and said, "That's all."

"..."

"This time we resisted the Turkic army, and King Qin protected us, and we have done a great job."

"……ah?"

Shang Ruyi was stunned and said subconsciously: "I, no."

Chu Yang immediately frowned and looked at her. Shang Ruyi seemed to have come to his senses again and hurriedly lowered his head. Chu Yang looked at her for a while and then continued: "I thought about it and decided that I should reward you."
