Chu Yang's face immediately sank.

The jade master was so scared that he hurriedly accused: "I have lost my etiquette before the emperor. I should die. Please forgive me."

“…”

Chu Yang narrowed his eyes and looked at him for a while, and said coldly: "You are old and you are so frivolous even doing this little thing."

Eunuch Yu kowtowed repeatedly: "I deserve to die, I deserve to die."

Shang Ruyi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please forgive Eunuch Yu. He is old and his hands are not so convenient."

Chu Yang was still looking at Eunuch Yu who was kneeling on the ground. After a while, he said with a smile: "Someone pleads for you, why don't you thank me quickly."

Then Eunuch Yu turned to Shang Ruyi and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Young Master."

Chu Yang waved his hand coldly: "Go down and do your business."

Eunuch Yu felt as if he had saved his life from the gate of hell, and got up from the ground in a cold sweat and retreated - but, before he left, his little eyes shining with light glanced at Shang Ruyi, and then lowered his head and closed the door.

Shang Ruyi's heart moved slightly.

At this time, Chu Yang turned to look at her: "What are you going to say to me just now?"

Shang Ruyi thought for a while and shook her head and said, "Nothing."

Chu Yang looked at her for a while, and there seemed to be a smile on his handsome face, but there was no smile in his slender phoenix eyes. He slowly stood up and said, "Since it's nothing, then leave and accompany me to the garden to take a look."

Shang Ruyi did not dare to neglect and hurriedly stood up: "Yes."

On this day, the two of them spent a long time in the picturesque back garden of the inner palace. When the sunset set, the bluestone floor burned red. Shang Ruyi dragged her tired body back to the palace. Wo Xue had already made people prepare hot water to clean her. After a little cleaning, dinner was delivered again.

It was still a full table with eye-catchingly exquisite dishes.

Shang Ruyi couldn't help but frown.

Although she was so tired and she was indeed hungry in her belly, she had no appetite when she held the bowls and chopsticks. Instead, she felt her chest was blocked as if it was a big stone. At this moment, Eunuch Yu brought a bowl of soup and medicine to her and smiled and said, "This is what Your Majesty ordered, let the young lady use it after the meal."

Shang Ruyi said: "My body has been healed."

Eunuch Yu said justice: "The body is healed, and this medicine is used to strengthen the foundation and cultivate the essence. The young lady was exhausted by the boat and chariot a few days ago. If she did not replenish her breath well, it would not be appropriate in the future."

When Shang Ruyi heard this, she could only nod and said, "Let go."

So the little eunuch put down the medicine bowl and turned around and retreated.

When Eunuch Yu gave a gift and was about to leave, Shang Ruyi called him and signaled that Wo Xue and several other palace maids who were serving around to withdraw. When they all left, she asked softly: "Why should my father-in-law stop me today?"

Eunuch Yu glanced at her, just smiled and said nothing.

Shang Ruyi said: "Although my father-in-law is old, he is not a frivolous person, and he will not make the mistake of losing his manners in front of the emperor. At that time, my father-in-law didn't want me to finish his words and deliberately interrupt me, right?"

“…”

"Can't those words be said?"

Eunuch Yu looked at her for a while, finally sighed and said softly: "Have you ever taken a step forward in the palace gate these days when the young lady came to Jiangdu Palace?"

Shang Ruyi shook her head.

Not to mention stepping out of the palace gate, she had never seen the palace gate of Jiangdu Palace before, and even talked about seeing the outside world, which made Chu Yang obsessed with him and even wrote poems and chanted "Why do you need to trap the secluded dynasty?" Jiangnan, which looked like?

Eunuch Yu said justice: "The young lady has never even left the palace gate, and she knows about vegetables and food. Wouldn't the ministers in the court who were worried about the country day and night? Wouldn't they give advice to the emperor?"

Shang Ruyi said: "Did you say that someone has said it?"

Eunuch Yu sighed: "Not only people have said it, but more than one person has said it."

"That--"

"Mr. Na Yanji contradicted the emperor and was beheaded; Minister Su from the Ministry of Rites advised His Majesty, and he has been demoted to his Majesty for three levels; and there are still a few people who are slight in the prison."

“…”

A ray of fiery red sunset shone on Shang Ruyi's pale face outside the window, which also clearly reflected the loss and helplessness in her eyes. She opened her mouth, and after a while, she said sternly: "Your Majesty, don't you listen?"

Eunuch Yu just smiled bitterly.

He turned his head and said, "I just stopped the young lady from doing useless work, because neither His Majesty nor the ministers in the court could come up with any solution to this matter. The only way-"

Shang Ruyi looked at him with bright eyes: "What is it?"

Eunuch Yu said justice: "It is said by Lord Ji, who was beheaded, that Your Majesty can no longer stay in Jiangdu. You should immediately regain your strength, drive your army northward, and return to Luoyang to regain the Eastern Capital."

“…”

When Shang Ruyi heard this, she sighed helplessly in her heart.

Hearing these words, she also understood why Lord Ji was beheaded.

This is indeed the only feasible way in front of him, but he wants the emperor to give up his attitude of escaping, and even let him return to Luoyang to face his failures and mistakes. How could he not annoy Chu Yang and bring disaster to killing?

Eunuch Yu continued, "I don't want the young lady to anger Your Majesty, and it's useless to be with Your Majesty; and Your Majesty and Your Majesty are angry - the young lady has a special status and may not be punished like those adults, but I don't know who is unlucky."

“…”

"And it's not just about Jiangdu's affairs, Your Majesty doesn't listen or read. Now, Your Majesty doesn't even read the battle reports sent back from Luoyang."

"Luoyang war report?"

Shang Ruyi's heart couldn't help but jumped again.

She took a deep breath, trying to make her look and tone sound as calm as usual, and asked, "How is it now over there?"

Eunuch Yu smiled bitterly and said, "We don't know what's specific, but I heard that after Liang Shide captured Luoyang, he captured several cities in succession, and there was no soldier in the surrounding counties to fight and block. Now, they are the most powerful among the rebels."

“…”

Shang Ruyi's heart was irritated.

Liang Shide was unstoppable, which means that his military actions were not hindered.

No one is going to stop him.

Yuwen Ye, neither...

How is he doing now?

Did you have already brought the people he cared about to return to Taiyuan and live the life they wanted to live; or did you have to suffer from excessive blood loss and serious injuries?

This question, like a knife stabbed in the heart, was pierced deeper after thinking about it. Shang Ruyi's breathing was rapid and her face turned pale. She could only hold the edge of the table with both hands to barely support her body.

Seeing her breathing difficult, Eunuch Yu thought.

After a while, he said, "Mrs. Please take care of yourself."

Shang Ruyi finally calmed down his heartbeat and breathing, then looked up at him, and could only say powerlessly: "Thank you, my father-in-law, for your concern. I understand everything you said."

“…”

"But if Your Majesty doesn't listen to these things, I don't know. What else can I advise Your Majesty?"

Hearing this, Eunuch Yu smiled bitterly again.

He said, "At this time, it is probably only - don't let Your Majesty be unhappy. Take care of yourself, that's the only thing the young lady can do."

After saying that, he saluted and turned around and left.

Shang Ruyi watched his back disappear into the fiery sunset. After a long time, she lowered her head and looked at the delicate dishes on the table that were a bit disgusting. She picked up the bowls and chopsticks and started eating them with a smell of wax.

When she finished her dinner, it was dark.

The sound of the palace gates closing slowly rang around the huge Jiangdu Palace. In the night, the sound of hoarse sounds like a different beast roaring. When the heavy palace gates closed, a muffled sound made, and everything returned to peace.

But tonight, it wasn't that calm.

In the square in front of the main hall of Jiangdu Palace, the imperial guards were patrolling in line and walking to the south of the light gate. This palace gate is the largest after entering the Jiangdu Palace, and it also leads directly to the square in front of the main hall. It is still open at this moment and immediately said: "What's going on? Why is the palace gate not closed yet?"

No one answered them.

The people from the Imperial Guards shouted louder: "Is it dead? The guards of Jiangdu Palace are dead?"

Amid their shouts, a group of people rushed from outside. It was the guards of Jiangdu Palace. They had just closed the palace gates on both sides of the square, and finally closed this one. They came only a few steps slower. They heard the ignorant shouts and scolding of those people, and immediately said angrily: "Why are you doing scolding people!"

"What's wrong with scolding you? The coffin pulp can't do things and can't be scolded?"

"You are the dead!"

Seeing that both sides were about to take action, Cheng Qiao walked up, reached out to stop his people, looked at the people from the Imperial Guards, and said calmly: "Today, several of our brothers were unable to get up with military sticks, and they were short of manpower, so they came slowly. Please be quieter."

"What's wrong with getting a military stick?"

A genius general from the Imperial Guard sneered: "Have you been hit by a military stick? Our brothers were so implicated by you that they were killed! You were crying in front of us."

Cheng Qiao looked at them and also saw that these people were deliberately looking for trouble, but now it has passed the closing time and can no longer delay. So he stopped arguing, but just turned around and waved: "Close the door, lock it."

His men came over immediately and pushed the two heavy palace gates slowly closed.

Finally, the palace gate finally closed.

However, the imperial guards standing inside the door had ferocious expressions and fierce eyes.

When everyone outside left, they were still standing at the gate of the palace. Several of them were indignant and said to the general: "Brother, you really shouldn't be talking nonsense to those people just now. You should teach them a lesson. So many brothers were beheaded and their homes were searched. We can't swallow this!"

At this moment, a cold voice sounded in the crowd—
Chapter completed!
