Running desperately in the dark night, they finally returned to the village at the fifth hour.

Fortunately, Shang Ruyi asked Jiang Kesheng and the others to come back first to prepare, so when they returned to the village, the people here immediately came to pick them up, and prepared the room, brazier and wound medicine. Soon, the group of people who seemed to have just been beaten from the underworld were settled down.

When everything was settled and finally breathed a sigh of relief, it was already the beginning of Mao.

Shang Ruyi sat in her room, looking at the deep darkness outside the window. Although there were lights far and near, the faint light was not enough to illuminate the room she was in. She still seemed to be in the endless night.

Until the door was creaking and pushed open.

She hurriedly looked up, but the one who walked in was a candlestick holding a food box in her hand and said softly: "Miss, you are not asleep yet. I asked the kitchen to prepare some hot soup and food. You can go to bed after you eat, and then talk about what's next when you have rested."

"……Um."

Shang Ruyi ignored the little loss in her heart, slowly got up and walked to the table, Tusheer lit the candlestick in the room, and took out the food in the box.

The stuff is very simple, and at this time, you really can't make a sumptuous meal.

Shang Ruyi had no appetite at all, just looked at the heat coming out of the bowl, and asked, "How are you settled in the others?"

Tusher said: "Everyone is settled."

“…”

Shang Ruyi was silent for a while and said, "Is anyone injured?"

Tusheer looked at her through a candlelight, her eyes flashed slightly, and she said softly: "Only, only my son-in-law, I was hit by three arrows on my back."

“…”

"But fortunately, it's not deep. I heard Mu Xian say that Hua Ziying should have kept his hands on purpose."

“…”

"He might, want to catch them..."

Shang Ruyi was silent for a while, and then asked, "Where is the Queen...Empress?"

Tusher's expression on his face became even more strange. He looked at her and said softly: "The Queen is fine."

"Nothing at all?"

"No."

“…”

Shang Ruyi smiled softly and said, "Sure enough, indeed..."

At this time, Tusheer finally couldn't help but feel distressed, especially as she looked at her lady deliberately suppressing herself, she couldn't help feeling distressed, so she asked, "Miss, why... Why is the son-in-law so protective of the Queen?"

Shang Ruyi looked up at her.

It seemed that she felt that Shang Ruyi's eyes were too calm, but she also felt that she shouldn't be calm at this time. Tusheer said in a panic: "I know that these things are about the queen, so I shouldn't talk nonsense... But I just felt strange, Miss, why does the son-in-law care so much about the queen? His injuries were just bandaged and he didn't even have time to take medicine, so he went to the queen's place again."

“…”

"He, why didn't he come to see you?"

“…”

Shang Ruyi's eyes gradually dimmed under the shining candlelight.

After a long time, I heard her slowly say in a voice with almost no temperature: "I want to know why, too."

At this time, it seemed that the uneasiness in my heart was gradually turning into reality. The expression on Tusheer's face gradually became solemn. She frowned and was about to say something, but she heard Shang Ruyi say lightly again: "Okay, I've been busy for so long, I must be tired. Let's go and rest."

"Miss……"

"I'm tired and want to stay alone for a while."

“…”

Hearing her say this, Tusheer had no choice but to look at her reluctantly and exit the room.

Shang Ruyi sat quietly at the table, staring at the swaying candlelight with her eyes blankly. After a while, she picked up the warmed soup rice on the table and sucked it, giving herself a little strength and a little heat. Then she got up and pushed the door and walked out.

After experiencing a moment of panic, this Zhuangzi became quiet again.

The darkness before dawn is the heaviest, as if it is a dark curtain wrapped in people's hearts. It not only makes people unable to breathe, but also makes people unable to escape. Shang Ruyi slowly walked along the corridor in such a depressing atmosphere. The surrounding rooms were turned off and the lights were quiet. There was only a separate yard at the front, and the doors and windows of the house were still shining.

Shang Ruyi endured the chill and walked over slowly.

Just as she was a few steps away from the door, she suddenly felt that the scene in front of her was a little familiar.

After thinking about it again, I remembered that when Yu Wen Ye was injured in Yanmen County, she went to see him. At that time, she slowly approached his room alone and saw him sitting on the bed with the injured while Princess Crescent was sitting in front of him, and she cried with pain.

At that time, she felt heartbroken for the tenderness he showed.

But when he looked back, what he showed at that time was clearly the gentleness of his brother, kindness but alienation, and even, he had always had the same attitude towards Princess Crescent.

Unfortunately, I didn't understand at all at that time. Until now, she understood what the true gentleness in his heart looked like.

Who is it for?

In fact, I should have understood that true tenderness is not a smile or a concern. Everything can be falsely seen, but the determination and sacrifice that cares for a person and does not allow even a single bit of hurt is the real, deep tenderness.

Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi's pace slowed down.

She suddenly felt that she didn't have to come.

At this moment, a low and sad sigh sounded in the room where the doors and windows were closed. When she heard the familiar and gentle tone, Shang Ruyi would feel like the spring breeze, but at this moment, she was standing in the cold wind, and the blood around her seemed to be frozen.

She heard Queen Jiang say in a deep voice: "Fengchen, why are you so stubborn?"

“…”

"As long as you don't care about this, you will be able to take them away safely. Why do you have to do this too much? You are so tired that you have suffered these injuries."

The room was silent for a long time.

Then, Yu Wen Ye heard him whisper: "I can't ignore the safety of the Empress."

Shang Ruyi's ears buzzed and could not hear anything.

The cold wind was howling around, and even a snow ball with fists was blowing hard on her face. Just as someone kept hitting her in the face, she didn't feel anything.

After a while, she slowly regained consciousness and subconsciously reached out and pinched her fingers.

Then, she laughed again.

At this time, she actually forgot that her little finger had no sense at all, and even if she wanted to pinch her little finger, she shouldn't pinch her little finger. So, her hands hanging on both sides of her body slowly clenched her fists, and the tighter it became, until her unsightly nails were pinched into her palms, and the fine stinging pain finally made her find herself.

Then, she heard Queen Jiang's long sigh sounding in the room.

"You kid..."

The person who was opposite her didn't know what it was to hear this sentence at this moment, but Shang Ruyi seemed to be able to feel it, so she almost held her breath and was silent with the person in the room for a long time before she heard him say in a deep voice: "Grandma, have a good rest."

Immediately afterwards, a sound of footsteps sounded inside, getting closer and closer.

Then, the door opened.

The shining candlelight in the room outlined his tall and strong figure clearly, and even the gloom on his face and the shock when he suddenly looked up and met Shang Ruyi's eyes. But he immediately closed the door with his backhand and walked to Shang Ruyi.

"What are you here for?"

Shang Ruyi looked up and saw that he had returned to his usual cold eyes. He did not eavesdrop on the embarrassment of being discovered. Instead, he said calmly: "I heard that you don't want your life. I'll save the Queen. I'll take a look."

“…”

Yuwen Ye's brows frowned.

He looked at Shang Ruyi and seemed to feel that "the person who came was not good", so he said, "If you have anything to say, go to my room and say it."

After saying that, he was about to walk away.

But Shang Ruyi didn't move and just looked up at him: "Why can't you talk about it here?"

Yuwen Ye said: "She is very tired. I want her to have a good rest."

“…”

The cold wind was like a sword, and when the chest pierced Shang Ruyi's body.

Although she was so cold that she lost her perception, she still shook because of the severe pain. She looked at Yu Wen Ye and swallowed something hard. Although there was nothing in her mouth, she seemed to feel a little fishy smell in her throat. When the anger finally calmed down, she said, "Let's go."

So, one after another, the two left the quiet courtyard and went to Yuwen Ye's room.

In his room, there was no brazier.

The air was filled with bloody smell. When the candlestick on the table was lit, Shang Ruyi saw that the ground was covered with blood-stained gauze, and there was a copper basin at her feet. The water inside was stained with blood. It was obvious that he had just returned to the village and dealt with the arrow wounds on his body here as soon as possible.

He was hit by three arrows, and it was not a piercing injury.

Pulling the arrow, suturing the wound, wound medicine, and bandaging, this set can cost half a life, but he didn't even have a rest for an extra moment, so he went to care about others again.

Shang Ruyi looked back and saw that although he was wearing a thick fur coat, he clearly had only a close-fitting underwear inside, and he could vaguely see the thick gauze wrapped around him.

And his face was also pale, and his lips were not covered in blood.

Shang Ruyi felt a little unsatisfied, but at this time, she didn't know whether she was feeling sorry for him or herself.

She asked, "Does it still hurt?"

“…”

Yuwen Ye's eyebrows twitched slightly, as if this problem was not only unreasonable, but also caught off guard. He looked down at Shang Ruyi and said in a tight tone: "It doesn't hurt."

"oh……"

Shang Ruyi nodded gently.

Then, she looked up at him again, and her bright eyes were as sharp as a blade in the light of the light, and she saw directly in his heart.

She asked, “Is it worth it?”
