The moment the two people looked at each other, Yu Wenye saw that the once bright and clear eyes seemed to be shining with a long-lost light.

But immediately, she lowered her head and avoided his gaze.

Something seemed to stir slightly in Yu Wenye's heart, but he remained calm, just lowered his head and looked at Shang Ruyi's lowered eyelashes, and said softly: "What do you want to do?"

"..."

"Are you trying to show off your strength again?"

"..."

"Have you forgotten what I said?"

Shang Ruyi lowered her head, only feeling weak and weak. The little strength she had just accumulated to support her to the door seemed to disappear the moment she faced him.

She gasped slightly and was about to fall, but Yu Wenye reached out and grabbed her waist and hugged her into his arms.

Then he bent down and picked her up.

Having said this, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said softly: "I didn't lie to you."

When he turned around again, he met Shang Ruyi's twinkling eyes.

Shang Ruyi's lips trembled slightly, but he did not speak, and his face was still a little pale.

"..."

However, this is clearly a bet in which their lives depend!

Even now, the low-grade fever is still tormenting her. The changes and torments just now have made her a little unable to support herself. She can almost only lean her forehead against the window to force herself to sit up.

"..."

Shang Ruyi seemed to always look at him with such confidence and calm eyes, but at this moment, Yu Wenye's eyes seemed to be rippled by the blowing wind, flickering slightly.

Yu Wenye turned to look at her.

"you--"

Shang Ruyi's throat was lumpy and he could no longer say the next words.

Yu Wenye said: "If you want to ask if I will really encourage my father to massacre the city with my life and death, then I can tell you that it is false."

What he said was so understated, as if he was just discussing the breezy weather outside.

"I never blink an eye when I go to the battlefield to kill enemies, but killing civilians - I have no such plan yet."

Yu Wenye also looked at her and said, "What do you want to say?"

The two people in the carriage remained silent.

Shang Ruyi thought for a while and said: "He wants to arrest me to avenge 'regicide', but he doesn't bother with you about the Duke's rebellion, right?"

But the next moment, Yu Wenye stretched out his hand and hugged her into his arms.

"..."

Their eyes met, and the thoughts deep in their eyes seemed to be exactly the same.

Soon, the carriage left the long-lost hustle and bustle of people behind again.

These words fell on Shang Ruyi's heart. She clearly didn't want to hear it, and she didn't even want to be affected by his words anymore, but at this moment, her heartbeat still became heavier unconsciously.

"But I think there should be another hidden meaning in this matter. Especially judging from Fan Chengen's words just now, I believe this even more."

He murmured: "But, there is one thing I don't understand."

"..."

Yu Wenye turned his head again, lifted a corner of the curtain and looked outside, and said calmly: "It doesn't matter whether he believes in me or not. This is a bet, and the bet is whether he is a good official who loves his people like a son.

"

Yu Wenye thought for a moment and said, "It's fake."

She immediately bit her lower lip to stop what she was going to say.

"..."

Shang Ruyi took a deep breath and looked at him again.

But the silence this time was different from the previous one. Both of them seemed to feel that there was an inexplicable emotion brewing in the quiet space. But there was still something lingering in Yu Wenye's heart. He lifted a corner of the curtain and looked outside for a while.

, and frowned in thought for a while.

She couldn't help but recall her desperate mood at Jiangdu Palace when she learned that Duke Sheng Guo had raised an army.

Shang Ruyi was silent for a while and said: "Then, why do you think that Lord Fan will believe you?"

"..."

But he didn't say much. He just turned around and walked out. As he walked, he ordered: "Get the prescription, get the medicine."

It had been a long time since she had taken the initiative to look at him.

"Shang Ruyi, I don't care about your life or death."

"Later, when I arrived in Jiangdu, the news came and I found out that he had raised an army."

"There will be no such thing in the future."

"..."

And Yu Wenye held her in his arms and said solemnly: "Last night, I didn't finish what I said."

"However, he exposed the consequences from the beginning."

Mu Xian and Tu Sheer immediately came to their senses and hurriedly found the store owner whose legs were weak with fear. After they got the prescription and took the medicine, they also gave them more medical fees as apology, and then hurried out.

By the time, Yu Wenye had carefully put Shang Ruyi back into the carriage, and everyone did not dare to delay any longer. They hurriedly got on their horses and drove out of Songzhou City.

"..."

Yu Wenye looked down at her, his cold yet clear eyes seeming to see through everything.

It turns out, it's not...

"..."

Such an almost perfect collision made Shang Ruyi tremble in her heart. She hurriedly lowered her head and avoided his gaze, but Yu Wenye's face seemed to be rippled by the wind again, and the ripples reflected the sunlight, and they actually

It's funny, even a little warm.

Shang Ruyi turned his face to the window on the other side.

"In order not to hurt the innocent people outside, he did not rush in directly when we were not paying attention. Instead, he moved those people away first, and even did not hesitate to miss the opportunity to give us a chance to be on guard. Such a good official who loves the people as his son, cannot

You might risk being massacred to catch a criminal."

Shang Ruyi wanted to say something, but the overly suppressed emotions just now made her voice hoarse. Just saying this one word was already showing signs of uncontrollable trembling, and she completely exposed her throbbing mood in front of him.

Shang Ruyi frowned and was about to say something, but when he raised his head, he met Yu Wenye's eyes. He looked at her deeply. His eyes, which were always so sharp and almost invincible, seemed to see through her at this moment.

Body, always looked into her heart.

"I didn't know about my father's revolt. Before I went south to rescue you, I sent him a letter telling him about the changes here. And I asked him to wait until I come back after rescuing you before taking any measures.

To avoid unnecessary consequences."

"you--"

He slowly turned sideways to Shang Ruyi and whispered: "Ruyi——"

As he said, he did not care about his own life or death - in fact, this was what he had always done. Even when he had no feelings for himself and no more involvement, he would not let himself be wronged; even, he would

Tell yourself frankly that you have won his respect because of your will and magnanimity.

He was always honest with her on major matters.

Even—we don’t owe each other anything.

But feelings are not a big deal to him.
