The night passed like this.

The next morning, although Shang Ruyi woke up early, she didn't expect that Yu Wenye got up earlier than her. When she opened her eyes, the bed next to her was already empty.

One of Shang Ruyi's hands covered it softly, and when his fingertips touched it lightly, he seemed to be able to feel the remaining warmth.

She was stunned for a while, then woke up immediately and got up to get out of bed. At this time, Yu Wenye walked in from outside, fully dressed.

Upon seeing him, Shang Ruyi was stunned for a moment.

He was also wearing an indigo gown, and a jade-colored belt tied his narrow waist very tightly. The whole person looked like a wasp-waisted ape-backed person, with a crane-like posture and a beetle-like shape. His figure was obviously elegant, but at this time, he did not feel light at all.

Although handsome, there is a faint sense of oppression.

Shang Ruyi said subconsciously: "How did you—"

Yu Wenye looked at her, his eyes flickering slightly: "What?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi hesitated for a moment, then immediately swallowed back the rest of his words and said calmly: "It's nothing."

Yu Wenye looked at her for a while and didn't ask any questions. He just smiled and said: "It'll be fine if you get up. I wanted to let you sleep a little longer to recuperate, so I didn't complain. But it's almost time now. Hurry up."

Wash up."

Shang Ruyi nodded, quickly got up and walked out.

Tu Sheer and Chang Wan had already prepared hot water towels. After washing up, Shang Ruyi sat in front of the dressing mirror and asked Tu Sheer to bring the jewelry he selected last night one by one, and then

Wearing that indigo dress.

As soon as she put on the long skirt, she could see Tu Sheer's unstoppable smile from the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

The evergreen on the side also seemed to be smiling.

In fact, even if he didn't look back and just looked at the shadow in the bronze mirror in front of him, Shang Ruyi knew that she and Yu Wenye looked like a pair of shadows today, and in everyone's eyes, they were a pair.

I don't know why he chose this dress.

Is it because of myself or because——

Shang Ruyi's thoughts were confused unconsciously, and she immediately came to her senses. Today, her mind must be clear and cannot be confused!

So, she took a deep breath to calm down and clarify her thoughts, then turned her head and said to Yu Wenye behind her: "Let Cheng Qiao accompany us today."

Yu Wenye said: "Just now, I asked him to leave for Dayan Temple first."

"..."

Shang Ruyi glanced at him, lowered his head and remained silent for a moment, then said softly: "Oh."

Yu Wenye walked up to her, looked down at her and said, "You can leave these matters to me."

"..."

"I said, I'll come."

Shang Ruyi was silent for a while, then looked up at him and said with a faint smile: "I know, but there are some things that you still have to face yourself."

Yu Wenye's eyes flashed slightly.

At this time, someone came to report that the carriages and horses outside were ready and asked them to go out immediately.

Yu Wenye waved his hand and dismissed the man, then looked back at Shang Ruyi and said, "Let's go."

"Um."

Shang Ruyi nodded and followed him out.

When we got to the gate, the motorcade had been waiting for a long time. As soon as they arrived, Yu Wenyuan also came out.

He was wearing a large robe. Such clothes were obviously too heavy in such weather. However, it was precisely this kind of clothes that made him look more muscular and imposing, but his steps were steady and transparent.

Come with a sense of calmness.

As soon as they saw him, the two people immediately stepped forward to salute.

When Yu Wenyuan saw his son and daughter-in-law, a complicated expression appeared on his face. He looked them up and down, and then said: "You two today——"

"Father,"

Yu Wenye said: "We know what to do."

Yu Wenyuan frowned slightly, as if he was a little dissatisfied with him interrupting her again and again since last night, but after pondering for a long time, he still didn't have an attack.

He just said: "As long as you know what to do."

So he waved his hand: "Get in the car."

He boarded his large carriage, and Yu Wenye also supported Shang Ruyi. The two of them got into the carriage at the back. Immediately, two teams of cavalry came up from the left and right, protecting the two carriages in the center. Another came from the front.

Two teams of guards holding big flags cleared the way, and then the team of hundreds of people left the Duke's Mansion and headed toward Dayan Temple in a majestic manner.

Along the way, the road was smooth and there was no obstruction at all.

And Shang Ruyi no longer like the past, when she arrived at a new place in a carriage, she would raise the curtains and look at the surrounding scenery. She just sat quietly along the way, listening to the wheels under her body hitting the hard ground.

The monotonous sound made by the stone road was like a hand forcibly playing with a wrong string.

The string in her heart was constantly tightening.

Finally, when the string was already ninety percent tight, the carriage stopped, and the scent of sandalwood in the air told them that Dayan Temple had arrived.

The sound of flags flying in the wind seemed to be louder than before.

Like horses' hooves urging battle on the battlefield.

Shang Ruyi's hand on her knee subconsciously tightened, tightening the corners of her clothes, and immediately, a warm big hand stretched out and covered the back of her hand.

Of course it’s Yu Wenye.

In fact, the breath and temperature were almost exactly the same as last night, but this time, Shang Ruyi turned to look at him, and saw him looking at him gently but firmly, and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry."

"..."

Shang Ruyi was silent for a moment and nodded gently.

So, he took her hand and got out of the carriage.

As soon as he stood still, although he tried his best to calm down, Shang Ruyi couldn't help but be shocked.

In front of us is naturally the mountain gate of Dayan Temple, and in front of the mountain gate is a huge square that is so wide that it is almost impossible to see the edge. At this moment, it is actually filled with civil and military officials. Although they are wearing ordinary clothes, they are all dignified and solemn, and they line up neatly.

, there was not even a trace of wheezing or coughing.

On the carriage in front, Yu Wenyuan slowly walked down.

When these people saw this, they immediately saluted him: "Greetings to the Prime Minister!"

With so many people shouting together, the sound echoed in this large open space, and there was an immediate deafening feeling, which shocked Shang Ruyi for a moment.

After a long while, I came back to my senses——

By the way, at this moment, Yu Wenyuan is already the prime minister who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.

Speaking of which, I had only heard before that he supported the new emperor and exerted power over the government and the opposition, but that only existed in hearings and imaginations, but now, I really saw all the civil and military officials looking so respectfully to him, almost worshiping him.

There is a real feeling.

Yu Wenyuan seems to be getting closer and closer to that position, almost only one step away.

She indeed made the right choice!

Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi felt as if a big stone had fallen to the ground in his heart.

But I don’t know why, but immediately, a deeper uneasiness rose in my heart——

She glanced around subconsciously.

Some of the officials here and their family members behind them were familiar to her and they must have come from Dongdu. Some were completely strangers. They might be people who stayed at the Daxing Palace. But among such a group of people, the most attractive

Naturally, the people who look at you are relatively familiar people.

Therefore, she immediately saw a tall figure in the crowd——

Duke Shenwu, Dong Bizheng.

At this moment, the county magistrate tilted his head slightly, as if he was talking to the people around him. Next to him was a tall and thin middle-aged man with big and deep eyes, sunken cheeks, and thin lips.

, vaguely showing a bit of indifference.

Who is this person?

Shang Ruyi took a closer look and found that it was a completely unfamiliar face. She could almost conclude that it was from Daxing City, so she had never seen it before.

However, since he was an official of Daxing City, how could he be so close to Duke Shenwu? Even some of Dong Bizheng's old relatives and friends in Dongdu did not stand so close, but they were so close to this man.

more importantly--

There seemed to be a faint shadow behind that person.

It only flashed and then disappeared.

Although it was just a fleeting shadow, it might even be a shadow she saw by mistake, but at that moment, Shang Ruyi suddenly felt a panic in her heart, as if a thunder suddenly exploded above her head, hitting her body, and her soul was shaken.

, as if she was caught by something in an instant, and was forcefully pulled away from her body.

At this moment, Shang Ruyi's face turned pale, his figure was swaying, and he almost fainted.

At this moment, a hand suddenly reached out and took her wrist.

The warm body temperature transmitted from the palm of her hand suddenly jumped along her wrist and into her heart. It also hit her heart that had almost stopped beating. It started beating again, and Shang Ruyi gasped suddenly.

After a breath of air-conditioning, I felt as if my soul had returned to its original place. I was covered in cold sweat, soaking my close-fitting clothes.

She tensed her body and let out a long sigh.

Then he slowly raised his head and looked at the people around him.

Yu Wenye grabbed her hand, frowned slightly, and looked at her worriedly: "What's wrong?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi was speechless.

If she told Yu Wenye that if he hadn't caught her at that moment, her soul might have been taken away, and even Yu Wenye would have laughed.

But at that moment, she really felt like this.

Moreover, this feeling is not the first time.

Not even the second time.

Looking at Shang Ruyi's pale face, Yu Wenye's expression became more worried. He lowered his head and lowered his voice and said, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"..."

Shang Ruyi did not answer immediately. He only calmed down and calmed down, then raised his head to look at him and said, "Who is the person next to the Duke?"

Yu Wenye did not expect that she would not answer him, but instead asked.

Although he was full of doubts, he still raised his head to take a look, immediately lowered his head and said softly: "Yu Dingxing."

"...!"

Shang Ruyi took a breath.

She said hoarsely: "That's it-"

Yu Wenye nodded calmly, with a cold look in his eyes: "He helped his brother to capture Daxing City without a single blow, and welcomed General Zuo Xiaowei, Yu Dingxing, as his father entered the city."
