Shang Ruyi is still puzzled.

I had already told him clearly how to meet Chu Yang, who was known as "Yang Suiran" at that time, including going to the outskirts of the city to take shelter from the rain. Why did he still ask?

As for whether he had entered the palace or not, and whether Chu Yang had ever been to the Shen family——

Is it that important?

Moreover, his almost questioning attitude also made Shang Ruyi a little uncomfortable. In any case, the two of them were not in a subordinate relationship, so why should he answer questions when he wanted to, since he was not his person.

Thinking of this, her heart suddenly trembled.

Yu Wenye asked himself this question because, who was he?

Although it was clearly made clear from the beginning that the relationship between them was just a cold, cold transaction that did not involve any emotions, but after experiencing last night, she did not know why she felt that the relationship between the two seemed closer than when she came back from Yanmen County.

Some.

Even, to a certain extent, they are closer.

Therefore, could Yu Wenye’s question at this moment be because——

She vaguely felt another "sentimental" thought, but before it could even form in her mind, she heard Tu Sheer hurriedly coming from outside, standing at the door and saying eagerly: "Second Young Master, Miss, the palace

Someone is coming!”

"...!"

"...!"

The two people who had just been immersed in their own strange thoughts were shocked. Shang Ruyi seemed to be waking up from a dream, and couldn't help but blush for his "self-love" just now.

She immediately straightened her expression and said to Yu Wenye: "Someone is coming from the palace, we have to get out!"

Yu Wenye didn't speak, but there was a hint of anger on his face.

After turning his head and glaring at him, he said, "Who is it?"

Tusheer said: "It's a chamberlain in the palace. He is here to convey the emperor's imperial edict!"

Upon hearing this, the two of them did not dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly got up, pushed the door open and walked out.

When I came to the lobby, I saw a chambermaid standing there, while Aunt Hui and Yu Wencheng had already kneeled in front of the hall with the guests outside, not daring to say anything.

Shang Ruyi took a closer look and found that he was different from the one who came to Yuwen's house to investigate them before and the one who asked the emperor to question him last time. This one was white and fat, about fifty years old, with gray hair and a face.

There was not a single wrinkle on his face, and he was extremely handsome and kind-faced. Behind him were several accompanying young eunuchs, and there were even four accompanying guards standing in the yard outside the mourning hall. It was obvious that his position was not low.

As soon as he saw the couple entering the hall, the chamberlain came forward politely and bowed to them.

"My condolences, both of you."

Yu Wenye also hurriedly returned the greeting, and then saw the eunuch walking to the center of the hall, standing up straight, and loudly shouting: "The imperial edict has arrived!"

Yu Wenye hurriedly led Shang Ruyi to kneel down to receive the order.

The eunuch took out an imperial edict, unfolded it, and said loudly: "I gave the imperial edict to Zhongshumen: Yu Wenye, son of Duke Sheng Guo, is not afraid of danger, bravely champions the three armies, and defends the king diligently in the battle of Yanmen County. His loyalty can be demonstrated, and he is specially appointed to be the assistant to the country."

General, please accept this."

Immediately there was a sound of admiration in the lobby.

Shang Ruyi, who was kneeling aside, was also shaken in his heart.

You know, although Yu Wenye is very famous, it is mainly because of his status as the second son of another country's government. In fact, he does not hold a high official position in the court. He is just a general in the army of Sheng Kingdom. Unexpectedly, Yanmen

In the battle of the county, the emperor actually directly promoted him to the second rank of the auxiliary general of the country. This had never happened before!

This is too high!

She carefully turned her face to look at Yu Wenye, and saw that he was not overjoyed at all, but had a solemn look on his face. He first thanked the emperor for his kindness, then took the imperial edict with both hands, and then slowly stood up.

After getting up, he reached out to help her.

Seeing this scene, the chamberlain's eyes flickered a little, but immediately dimmed again. He only said to Yu Wenye: "General, I won't say 'happiness' here. I looked at the general to express my condolences.

I hope the general will take care of himself, and I hope the general will live up to the emperor's respect and make great contributions to the imperial court by clearing away rebellion."

Shang Ruyi's heart skipped a beat again——

Clear out rebellion in the imperial court?

Normally, when congratulating others for their promotion, they would say something about being diligent, conscientious, respectful, and even prosperous, but when these four words "clearing out rebellion" were spoken, it was as if there was already some rebellion waiting for Yu Wenye to clean up.

But Yu Wenye was still as calm and composed as ever, and said politely: "Thank you, Eunuch Yu. It's freezing out here. I'm sorry to bother you, but please come to the side hall to drink tea and warm yourself up."

I saw Eunuch Jade smiling and saying: "It's not unfair to make this trip. Firstly, I will deliver the imperial edict for the emperor, and secondly -"

As he spoke, his eyes flickered and he looked sideways behind him.

Only then did Yu Wenye and Shang Ruyi notice that one of the few young eunuchs following him stepped forward, raised his head gently, and looked at Yu Wenye with a pair of bright autumn eyes.

Shang Ruyi suddenly opened his eyes wide——

That, is actually the Crescent Princess!

She is here!

Just like what I saw before at Tinghe Tower, she was wearing a futon robe worn by a chambermaid. Although it was simple, it could not conceal the beauty of the country, especially since she had probably cried on the way here, and her eyes were red and slightly swollen.

Her eyes looked watery, and she looked pitiful.

She whispered: "Second brother."

"you--"

As soon as he saw her, Yu Wenye's breathing was obviously a little messy, probably because he didn't expect her to come back, but the next moment, he regained his composure and said softly: "You are too nonsense."

Chu Ruoyan said softly: "I was worried about my second brother, so I came to see you."

Yu Wenye let out a deep breath and took a step forward. His tall body had already blocked the petite princess from being seen by outsiders. He said in a deep voice: "I'm fine. You shouldn't come out and run around, just in case.

What should I do if I encounter danger?”

Chu Ruoyan looked at him: "I'm not afraid."

…

The two of them faced each other like this, and for a moment they seemed to have forgotten everything around them.

But Shang Ruyi, who was standing next to the two of them, not far away but seemed to be separated by an invisible barrier, felt only a coldness in his hands and feet at this moment.

At this time, she looked at them, but she thought strangely in her heart just now - when Yu Wenye questioned her in their bedroom, she once again had some "sentimental" thoughts. This,

How ridiculous?

When he looked up again and saw the eyes of the third person when the two people met, Shang Ruyi smiled.

Really, quite ridiculous.

At this time, she was completely awake. The people kneeling outside had not yet gotten up and did not dare to raise their heads and look straight ahead. If they saw Princess Crescent Moon disguised herself and followed Eunuch Jade here, things would not go well.

Cleaned up.

She was so anxious that she took the initiative to take a step forward and said: "Second brother, you go to the backyard first; Eunuch Yu, please come with me. There is hot tea in the side hall."

Hearing this, Yu Wenye suddenly turned around and looked at her.

No, that look wasn't looking, it was more like staring.

As sharp as a knife.

Shang Ruyi was stunned by his look, then thought about it again, and felt that his arrangement was right - let him take the princess to the backyard to avoid being seen, and there was no one in the backyard at the moment, so they happened to meet; and he took the princess to the backyard.

Isn't it just what they want to follow Eunuch Yu to the side hall without disturbing them?

So, she looked back at him, eyes wide open, as if silently asking him - is there anything wrong with this arrangement?

The atmosphere was stagnant for a moment.

Just when the two people looked at each other, one was sharp and the other was clear, but it was like a knife cutting on cotton. For a moment, it was impossible to decide the outcome, and a smiling voice sounded: "Then I'll trouble you, madam."

It's Eunuch Yu.

Shang Ruyi smiled and politely led him and a few young eunuchs to the side hall, while Yu Wenye stood in the lobby and was silent for a long time before letting out a heavy breath.

"Let's go."
