In this case, you can only answer yes regardless of whether you are willing or not.

But Shang Ruyi's heart suddenly became confused, and for a while he was a little confused about what kind of chaotic quagmire he was in.

She thought she would blame herself for the matter between the emperor and herself, but she didn't; as her beloved daughter, Princess Xinyue, she had a lover with Yu Wenye and could not get married because of herself, and she did not show any signs of it. Hostility... these are enough to make people confused.

Now, Queen Jiang has even taken the initiative to express her goodwill to the public and expressed her willingness to get close to her?

Queen Jiang...why do you do this?

Just when Shang Ruyi was confused, Yu Wenye behind him suddenly said: "Father, when did this happen?"

Yu Wenyuan glanced at him and showed an impatient expression, but he still replied coldly: "While Your Majesty leaves you to speak, I will leave the Qianyang Palace first. Outside the palace, the Empress's chamberlain will come and pass the message."

After saying that, he turned to Shang Ruyi: "Are you willing?"

Shang Ruyi thought for a long time and then said cautiously: "Since it is the Queen's order, Ruyi is willing. However, it also depends on father's wishes."

Yu Wenyuan looked at her for a while, thought about it, and said: "Since your Majesty has spoken, you can go ahead."

"yes."

"It's just that after entering the palace, you must not talk nonsense and be careful in everything you do."

"Ruyi understands."

Only then did Yu Wenyuan wave his hand to signal them to go out. The two of them exited the study and closed the door.

At this time, it was already dark outside. The lanterns on the corridor were lit, but the light was not strong. Shang Ruyi turned around and saw Yu Wenye's tall figure became taller and stronger under the light, and seemed to cast a shadow. A deeper shadow shrouded itself.

Also because of the backlight, she couldn't see the expression on his face.

All she could feel was that there was a dim light shining in his stern eyes, staring at her closely: "Why didn't you tell me before?"

"say what?"

"Say, you and the Queen——"

"Me and the Queen? We have nothing."

Shang Ruyi was a little surprised, why did he ask about this matter? It was clear that the empress had only met him once and didn't say much, so he said softly: "At that time, you only asked about... His Majesty's affairs. "

"..."

Hearing this, Yu Wenye seemed to choke.

After a while, he said a stiff "hmm" and turned around and walked forward. Shang Ruyi felt that he seemed a little angry, but it was not at her, but at himself. He didn't know why, but he quickly followed. Go up.

After a while, the two returned to the room.

It was already getting late, and Wuxue and the others had already lit up the candlesticks in the room. The orange-red candlelight illuminated the whole room in a hazy and warm light. As soon as one walked in, no matter how irritable the mood was, it seemed to be instantly soothed. Yu Wenye's cold breath It also slowly relaxed at this moment.

He walked over to the low table and sat down.

Shang Ruyi walked over and asked softly: "Do you want something to eat?"

Yu Wenye shook his head: "No need."

In fact, Shang Ruyi didn't have much appetite, so he waved Wo Xue to leave, then walked to sit opposite him and asked softly: "When I just passed by, I seemed to hear dad talking - why can't you two agree on something? ah?"

Yu Wenye glanced at her.

Shang Ruyi continued: "Is it about troop deployment?"

"..."

Yu Wenye was silent for a moment and said: "You, don't always ask about those things about fighting and killing."

Shang Ruyi was startled.

The next moment, she also understood that ordinary women, especially those who were already married, should indeed do something to support their husbands and raise their children every day. Even the housework of knitting and spinning, and the killing and killing seemed to be done by men.

Even if he has a friend like Lei Yu, it doesn't mean that he wants the women around him to be like that.

Just like - Crescent Princess.

What Yu Wenye likes should be such a sweet and charming woman.

Therefore, he probably didn't like the fact that he was concerned about the war on the front line all day long, and even went into battle in Yanmen City to shoot at the Turks soldiers.

…

However, there is no need to act the way he likes.

Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi said softly: "I care about you too. It's hard to fight this battle. If you don't have enough troops, it will be troublesome."

"..."

Yu Wenye looked at her for a while, his eyes looking tangled and complicated. After a long time, he slowly said: "Father plans to give me 10,000 troops."

When Shang Ruyi heard this, his eyes lit up: "Is this enough... right?"

The imperial court only gave him 20,000, and Yu Wenyuan gave him 10,000. Although he may not have an absolute advantage in numbers, Yu Wenyuan's soldiers are brave and good at fighting, and 10,000 horses can be used as 30,000 horses; and Wang Gang's army, although

There are a large number of people, but they are recruited from all walks of life. Without special training, their combat effectiveness will definitely not be able to compete with the Duke's troops.

But, after all, she was still half a layman, so she didn't dare to speak fully, so she could only look at Yu Wenye with inquiring eyes.

Thirty thousand troops and horses, isn’t that enough?

Yu Wenye glanced at her and seemed to find her look a little funny. He couldn't help but pursed his lips, but he still had a sullen face and remained silent for a long time before saying, "I don't want it."

"What? Why not?"

"I thought about it again. The imperial court's 20,000 troops are enough."

"...!?"

Shang Ruyi was dumbfounded.

She eagerly moved towards him, reached out and grabbed his arm, squeezed hard and said, "How is this possible? Second brother, don't be stupid."

"...!"

Yu Wenye's heart trembled slightly.

It wasn't because of the words she said that irritated him, but - the slender fingers that were clasped around his wrist, with a bit of coolness in them.

She obviously didn't have much strength, but for some reason, Yu Wenye felt that her veins were being held tight by her.

For a moment, my breathing was stagnant.

And Shang Ruyi was still saying seriously: "Didn't you just say that you still need to dispatch some troops and horses, why did you not want it when dad gave it to you? Second brother, you can't be angry at this time, you have to think about your future.

ah."

Yu Wenye frowned slightly: "In your eyes, am I just such an ignorant person?"

Shang Ruyi was startled and realized that he had just spoken a little uncontrollably.

He hurriedly said: "No."

"That,"

When Yu Wenye said this, his voice became deeper for no reason, and his eyes flickered at her: "What kind of person am I?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi didn't know what to say for a while.

It was only then that she realized that one of her hands was still holding his wrist tightly. Although it was not a skin-to-skin contact, her actions were indeed a bit too much.

She retracted her hand in panic.
