Chapter 204 Die for him or die for me?

To him, all ethics and ethics are nonsense. As the Ninth Five-Year Plan, he stands at the highest point in the world and wants to create great achievements. Naturally, he cannot be bound by any etiquette and dogma.

He is infinitely free from body to mind.

And all these years, the only thing that seems to have restrained him is this little woman in front of him.

His alluring thoughts towards her, which seemed to be nothing, were forced back by her tears, forcing him to retreat to the status of "confidant", although for him, this was enough.

But now, it was she who approached him first!

Chu Yang's heart was beating wildly, like a hungry beast imprisoned in a cage. At this time, he finally found a chance to break through the cage, struggling and roaring to rush out, and his body was also uncontrollably throbbing like this.

Approach her slowly.

But at this moment, Shang Ruyi's hand suddenly retracted.

Chu Yang was stunned and said: "You——"

Before he could finish his words, he saw Shang Ruyi's retracted arm suddenly stretch out, and that slender white palm suddenly struck towards his face.

Chu Yang was so shocked by this sudden change that he didn't even have time to react before he felt a gust of wind from his palm, carrying a little bit of her sweet breath, rushing towards his face.

Even his hair was messy.

Chu Yang opened his eyes in shock and looked at the white palm in front of him. Before he could realize what was going on, Shang Ruyi had already retracted his palm again, stood up and knelt down to him: "Your Majesty, please forgive me."

!”

"...!"

After Chu Yang's heart trembled for a while, he finally came to his senses and became furious: "Shang Ruyi, you are so bold!"

Even if her action just now did not really touch him or hurt him, just that action was already the crime of deceiving the emperor. Although Chu Yang was close to her and regarded her as a confidant, as the Nine-Five Supreme, how could he

Can you tolerate someone looking down on you like this?!

And following his angry shout, there was a burst of heavy footsteps outside.

A tall figure walked outside the bead curtain: "Your Majesty, Shang Ruyi is disrespectful to Your Majesty, I will kill her immediately!"

After saying that, the sound of unsheathing a sword broke the tranquility here. Wang Shaoji suddenly opened the curtain and walked in. The shining steel sword was already swung at Shang Ruyi!

Shang Ruyi was so frightened that she quickly raised her hands to cover her head.

Seeing that the steel knife was about to be chopped down, Chu Yang suddenly said: "Stop!"

"...!"

Wang Shaoji's hand froze, and the blade stopped abruptly on Shang Ruyi's wrist. He glared at Shang Ruyi, then turned to look at Chu Yang: "Your Majesty?"

Chu Yang's face was gloomy, his eyes fixed on Shang Ruyi, who was kneeling on the ground and shivering. He was silent for a long time, and then waved his hand gently: "Step back."

Wang Shaoji said: "Your Majesty, she wants to assassinate you!"

"She won't,"

Chu Yang stared closely at the thin shoulders that kept shaking and said: "Step back, I will call you again if I have something to do."

Wang Shaoji was speechless and could only sheath the sword fiercely, then turn around and leave.

However, when he walked out of the private room, he looked back at Shang Ruyi. The viciousness and cruelty in his eyes made Shang Ruyi feel a chill piercing his body even though he was kneeling on the ground and couldn't see anything.

Soon, Wang Shaoji left.

The two people in the private room were still silent. Chu Yang kept staring at the twitching and shaking shoulders. After a long time, he slowly said: "Explain."

Shang Ruyi still lowered his head: "Your Majesty, forgive me."

"..."

Chu Yang narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "You'd better explain it to me clearly."

Hearing that there was no longer any anger in his voice, but the gloomy aura was still oppressive, Shang Ruyi slowly straightened up, looked at Chu Yang, and said softly: "Ruyi just wants your Majesty to know,

Just now, if Ruyi had not retracted his arm, Your Majesty would not have felt any movement, would he?"

"...!"

Chu Yang frowned, recalling the two times she reached out just now.

"so what?"

"This is also the case sometimes in combat."

"..."

"Sometimes, without retrenchment and temporary defeat, there is no room for attack. There is a kind of advance that needs to take advantage of the situation."

Chu Yang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at her coldly: "You mean, Yu Wenye's defeat was a method of warfare?"

Shang Ruyi said: "Ruyi actually doesn't know much about military affairs. Being in the eastern capital city, it is even less possible to know the truth of the Xingluocang war. But Ruyi just wants to defend her husband - a temporary defeat may not be the real truth."

If he is defeated, please give him some more time and a chance, Your Majesty."

Chu Yang's face slowly darkened.

He stared at Shang Ruyi closely and said, "You asked me to give him more time and opportunities. Do you think he will definitely win?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi's breath hitched.

At this moment, she still couldn't figure out the reason for Yu Wenye's three defeats in the past few days, whether he was really weak or had other plans. But at this moment, she suddenly thought of how he killed a man on horseback in Yanmen County.

Going out of the city, he shot and wounded Ashina Tsari with one man's power and defeated an army of 100,000 people.

The earth-shattering moment still remains in her heart to this day.

She took a deep breath and said, "I believe him!"

Hearing this, Chu Yang's face sank, and suddenly a trace of vicious anger appeared. He sneered and said: "You have tried your best to treat him, even risking your own life to win for him.

A way out, right?"

"..."

"If I hadn't stopped Wang Shaoji just now, you would have died by his sword."

"..."

"In this way, you will die because of him."

"..."

"Are you really that sincere towards your husband?"

Shang Ruyi's face was pale. At this moment, even though she was in a warm elegant room, and there was even a blazing stove behind her, her whole body was as cold as ice, and even her blood was cold.

Breath. She could only say softly: "He is Ruyi's husband. If Ruyi died for him, he would die without regrets. What's more -"

"Not to mention what?"

"This death is also a death remonstrance."

Chu Yang stared at her seriously and suddenly said: "Dying because of him is also a sign of remonstrance to me."

"..."

"Then, are you going to die for him or for me?"

Shang Ruyi lowered his head again.

The tearing pain in her heart surged up again. She gritted her teeth, endured the severe pain, and whispered: "Ruyi doesn't want to die, Ruyi wants to live."

Chu Yang sneered: "Then, who do you live for?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and raised her head. This time, her eyes were much firmer than before, and she said word by word: "Live, I only live for myself."

"...!"

Chu Yang opened his eyes suddenly.

This answer was obviously something Chu Yang had not expected, or in other words, unexpected.

He looked at Shang Ruyi with a complicated expression for a long time, and finally heaved a sigh of relief and said: "If this is really the case, then I have nothing to argue about."

He subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch his cheek. Just now, Shang Ruyi reached out to him for the first time. He obviously didn't touch him, but he seemed to feel the touch of skin against each other. At that point, there was a numb feeling.

It jumped into his heart, and until now, his heartbeat has not calmed down.

Then, he gritted his teeth and said, "You'd better keep your word!"

After saying that, he stood up and walked out.

Shang Ruyi said subconsciously: "Your Majesty!"

Chu Yang stopped and didn't look back. He just said coldly: "What else do you want to say?"

Shang Ruyi said: "Well, over there at Xingluocang——"

Chu Yang turned his face, glanced at her coldly, and said: "You have already given up your advice. If I don't give him another chance, won't I really force you to die?"

"..."

"But, just once!"

"..."

"If he sends out more troops, if he loses more troops and generals, he will not be able to capture Xingluocang——"

Shang Ruyi's heart palpitated, and he raised his head to look at Chu Yang. His handsome and graceful face showed murderous intent at this moment, and he said word by word: "I will never give you mercy!"

After saying that, he walked away.

Shang Ruyi stood behind the bead curtain, watching the tall and elegant figure disappear in front of him. His whole body was cold, as if all the blood in his body had been frozen by Chu Yang's cold words. After a long time, he slowly regained consciousness.

She walked out somewhat numbly and went downstairs.

By the time we reached the first floor, all the guests who had just eaten had disappeared.

Listening to Helou's boss and waiters, they all stayed quietly behind the counter, not daring to raise their heads to look at her, not even daring to gasp.

Shang Ruyi slowly walked out of Tinghe Tower. When she looked back, this quiet restaurant seemed so unreal. As soon as she left, the place would immediately return to its usual state, and everything just now would look like a strange place.

The dream was completely shattered and disappeared.

Shang Ruyi said nothing and turned around.

The carriage that had delivered her before was still parked outside. The coachman stood aside with a numb face and said without any emotion: "Please get in the carriage, Madam. I will take Madam back to Yuwen Mansion immediately."

"..."

Shang Ruyi glanced at him and said nothing.

She was too lazy to ask the driver's identity. Thinking about it, although it was the queen who arranged for him to pick him up, how could everything in the palace not obey the emperor's orders? Empress Jiang was very careful and cautious, so she was no match for the emperor after all.

Shang Ruyi just nodded and walked over.

But just when she was about to get in the car, she accidentally saw a familiar figure flashing past from the corner of her eye.

"Um?"

Shang Ruyi's somewhat numb mind suddenly moved and he turned his head hurriedly, but there were people coming and going on the long street, but they were all strangers passing by.

It’s you, did you see it wrong?

Seeing that she hadn't moved for a long time, the coachman stepped forward and said, "Young madam, is there anything wrong?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi did not speak, but looked up again. Indeed, he did not find any familiar figure in the crowd. Thinking about it, he really saw it wrong just now, so he shook his head gently and said: "It's okay, let's go."

So, he got on the carriage, which quickly left Tinghe Tower and headed for Yuwen Mansion.
