Chapter 144 Are you waiting for me?

Shang Ruyi's breathing tightened subconsciously.

She slowly raised her head and saw a familiar figure walking in from the courtyard door in front of her. There was a trace of fatigue on her handsome face, but when she saw her standing there,

In the courtyard, the smiles in Feng's eyes were full of smiles.

"Are you waiting for me?"

At this moment, Shang Ruyi's breath was choked.

The man who walked in and called himself "I" was the same man today, but he was also the man who had not been very happy with her these days, but always made her thoughts shake.

Yang is free!

No, at this time, we can no longer call him Yang Suiran. As expected, this name is nothing more than "a clever hand that comes by chance".

Yang Suiyi is today's emperor, Chu Yang!

At this moment, he was wearing a gorgeous robe. He was no longer as carefree and leisurely as every time we met in the past. Instead, he had a compelling aura rushing toward him, along with the aloof coldness that struck him.

Fragrant and a bit more aggressive.

Shang Ruyi's hands were cold, but he immediately lifted up his skirt and knelt down.

"My wife pays homage to Your Majesty——"

Before she finished speaking, she heard footsteps approaching quickly, and a hand immediately grabbed her arm and pulled her up.

"No gift."

Shang Ruyi's heart sank, but he did not dare to raise his head. He only maintained his bowing posture: "Your Majesty, this - is unreasonable."

A cold voice came from above the head: "My words are the truth."

"..."

This time, she had nothing to say.

So, Shang Ruyi slowly stood up using the power of that hand, but as soon as he stood still, he immediately took a step back and pulled his arm out of the hand without leaving any trace.

Chu Yang's hand paused in the air for a moment.

Then, he slowly put it down calmly, with a faint smile still in his eyes, and said, "You don't seem to be too surprised."

Shang Ruyi said a dull "hmm".

"When did you know my identity?"

"It's not like I know it, I just vaguely guessed it."

"Why did you guess it?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi glanced at him and said nothing, but Chu Yang thought for himself and smiled lightly: "It must be the two meetings after arriving in Northern Xinjiang that made you doubt my identity."

"……Yes."

Chu Yang chuckled: "It seems that I am too impatient."

As he said that, he looked at Shang Ruyi again and said with twinkling eyes: "However, I do want to see you and talk to you. It's very interesting to hear you talk."

Shang Ruyi said softly: "I just hope that those stupid words of my wife did not offend Your Majesty."

"..."

Chu Yang took another step forward, lowered his head to look into her eyes, and said in a voice that was neither high nor low that only two people could hear: "You know, if someone else had said those words of yours, they would have been

He has been dragged out and beheaded."

The night wind blew, and Shang Ruyi's cold sweat suddenly dried up.

She cleared her throat and then managed to say clearly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me."

"..."

"My wife, I must be careful in my words and deeds from now on, and never--"

"No need,"

Chu Yang chuckled and interrupted her, saying: "I think it's better for you to be yourself. I want to see you being yourself, and I want to hear what you want to say."

As he spoke, there was a glimmer of light in his raised eyes.

"You'd better not lie in front of me."

"..."

"I already know what kind of person you are. If you lie, I will tell."

"..."

"So, no matter now or in the future, in front of me, you must be the same Shang Ruyi you were before, do you understand?"

Under his almost blazing gaze, Shang Ruyi's heart turned into a mess. She was silent for a long time, and then she said in a hoarse voice: "Thank you, Your Majesty... for your support."

Hearing the word "complete", an almost proud smile appeared on Chu Yang's face.

But that kind of pride is not the pride of others obeying his orders, but the pride of watching himself knead sand into mud and shape a doll that he wants.

Shang Ruyi didn't dare to look at his smile, and only cared about the situation outside, so she cautiously said: "Your Majesty, I dare to ask, what's going on outside -"

Before she finished speaking, she heard Chu Yang say: "What you call yourself is really harsh to my ears."

"What?"

"I don't want to hear you call yourself - my wife again."

I saw Chu Yang folding his arms and looking at her with a sneer: "Since I allow you to tell the truth in front of me and be yourself, then you'd better call yourself Ruyi. I allow you to call yourself Ruyi."

Shang Ruyi hesitated: "This, how dare I—"

Chu Yang's face immediately darkened.

The emperor is the emperor. The anger of the True Dragon Emperor is enough to make the world littered with corpses and blood. Even if he is not furious at this moment, but only shows a slightly angry face, Shang Ruyi immediately feels that the air around him has become cold and the whole place is quiet.

The entire courtyard seemed to be shrouded in an invisible net filled with murderous intent.

She hurriedly said: "As you wish, thank you for your grace."

Chu Yang's face showed a proud smile again.

Shang Ruyi suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. She was a dedicated person, but it seemed that every time she got along with this person, she would be led by him unconsciously. In the past, she just thought this person was mysterious, but now she naturally understands.

This is the true art of the emperor.

He will not allow himself to be led by others.

Shang Ruyi composed himself and spoke carefully again: "Your Majesty, outside -"

"correct,"

Chu Yang also interrupted her again and said, "Today, the Queen told me that you have something to say to me?"

"ah?"

"It's a strategy proposed by Prince Guan Shaoji. You seem to have other ideas. I'm already here. Let's talk about it."

"..."

Shang Ruyi was immediately dumbfounded.

She never imagined that she would actually tell the emperor what she said to Empress Jiang - if some generals said these words, there would be nothing wrong with them, but she was just a young lady in the Duke's palace, and she would say nothing.

Didn't this push her to the forefront of the war?

Shang Ruyi hurriedly said: "This, I - Ruyi doesn't dare."

Chu Yang looked at her with twinkling eyes: "What did I just say?"

Shang Ruyi hesitated for a moment and said softly: "His Majesty just said that you should be Ruyi and be the Shang Ruyi you were before."

"So, I want to hear exactly what you said to the Queen."

"..."

"Otherwise, you are bullying the emperor!"

These last two words made Shang Ruyi's blood run cold.

At this moment, the words Empress Jiang said during the day suddenly rang in her ears again——

"It's just that His Majesty never really likes to listen to what others say. Even if he does, he won't listen... So, the key is who can make His Majesty listen to what he says."

Could it be that she wanted to use her own words to advise the emperor?
