Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1095 Mercy
Seeing Shang Ruyi's sharp and sarcastic look, Xiao Yuansui's smile deepened. He stood up and slowly walked from behind the table to Shang Ruyi, looking down at her: "What did I do wrong?"

"My father-in-law has already ascended the throne and become the emperor. My husband is His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin of the Great Sheng Dynasty."

As Shang Ruyi spoke, she looked up and looked him in the eyes, and said calmly but with dignity: "Even if you don't call me 'Your Highness', you should at least call me 'Princess'."

The corner of Xiao Yuansui's eye twitched slightly.

Like Yuwen Ye, he was also a person who never showed his emotions. In fact, the more tormented and angry he was in his heart, the calmer the expression on his face was. But at this moment, Shang Ruyi clearly saw the corner of his eyes twitched slightly, as if some needle in his words just now had pierced his heart.

After a long silence, Xiao Yuansui said calmly: "Yes, ascend the throne and become emperor."

"..."

"The world is in turmoil and many heroes have emerged, but no one expected that Duke Sheng would have such ambitions."

"..."

"I underestimated him."

There seemed to be some emotion in his words. Shang Ruyi looked carefully at the barely perceptible haze in his deep eyes, and suddenly understood something.

She remembered the prophecy song she heard that year -

After three generations of imperial rule, Wang Gang seized the people's mouths.

The phoenix is ​​singing beside Xiaoshan Mountain, and you can also see Mizizhou Island.

Back then, Xiao Yuansui was suspected by the emperor and not valued because of his surname "Xiao", which fulfilled the word "Xiaoshan" in the prophecy. In order to revive his troops, he joined Zuo Heng's army and participated in the rebellion, but was eventually suppressed by the court.

At that time, both he and Zuo Heng probably thought about the possibility of becoming the hegemon in troubled times, and this prophecy song also foreshadowed some things, such as the end of the Daye Dynasty after three generations and its replacement; Wanggangzhai had a moment of glory after seizing Xingluo Cang, and summoned heroes from all over the world to stir up the storm. At that time, Xiao Yuansui probably really thought that he was worthy of the word "Xiaoshan" in the prophecy song.

Now it seems that Xiaoshan may really refer to Wanggangzhai under the jurisdiction of Xiao Yuansui, but what is really important is not Xiaoshan, but Fengming!

Fengming Xiaoshan actually refers to the time when Fengchen single-handedly destroyed the entire Wanggang Village.

Until now, Shentu Tai is still being used by him. Even after he was captured by Shi Yuxin, he decisively took action to capture Shi Yutao and confronted them.

As for watching the Union Pacific...

There is no need to say more about this.

Yuwen Yuan had already ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. He had been hiding his talents for many years, but his true colors were finally revealed after Chu Yang's death. This prophecy song seemed to have lost its mysterious veil, and the truth was revealed.

Shang Ruyi said calmly: "The world is in chaos, and heroes are rising up. We should not underestimate anyone."

"..."

"At least, my father-in-law and my husband have never looked down on you."

Xiao Yuansui raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her for a while, then said, "Yes, in fact, I have never underestimated the princess, but this time, the princess used 300 cavalry to stop my tens of thousands of troops, completely ruining my plan to march west to Chang'an. I still look at her with new eyes."

Shang Ruyi frowned.

Although Xiao Yuansui called her "Princess" out of courtesy, the mention of the three hundred cavalrymen was like a knife stabbing her in the heart. These three hundred cavalrymen were her hard work, and could be called her capital. In fact, if the crown prince who had long hated her and the crown princess who regarded her as an enemy wanted to do anything to her in the future, this was also the basis for her to dare to challenge them.

But, it all ends here.

Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi's eyes turned red. She gritted her teeth and said calmly, "You're too kind."

After saying that, without waiting for Xiao Yuansui to speak, he continued, "Did you come to me just to talk about this?"

Xiao Yuansui looked at her for a while and said, "But I just want to reminisce with the princess."

"Reminiscing about old times?"

For some reason, these two words sounded a little harsh in Shang Ruyi's ears. She glanced at Xiao Yuansui, then deliberately looked up and looked around. This big tent was not small, and it was even more spacious than the main rooms of some wealthy families. But a tent was just a tent, and she was a prisoner, and with the situation on both sides, no matter how spacious this place was, it was narrow and cramped in her eyes, suffocating.

So he said calmly: "People who are reminiscing about the past should have something to talk about, and after that they can go their separate ways. Can I do that?"

Her words were full of sarcasm, but Xiao Yuansui was not angry at all. Instead, a faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

Shang Ruyi continued, "Besides, you and I just met by chance, so there is really nothing to talk about. On the contrary, there is an old friend of yours on this trip, and he has been waiting to 'reminisce' with you."

After hearing the last sentence, the smile on Xiao Yuansui's lips froze a little, and the expression on his face became complicated.

Of course he could hear that Shang Ruyi was talking about Lu Xiao.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Oh."

Shang Ruyi said seriously: "If you want to find someone to reminisce about the past, you should go find her."

Xiao Yuansui lowered his eyes, remained silent for a while, and then smiled faintly. There was a bit of helplessness in his smile, and then he gradually became indifferent and said: "It seems that the princess is still the same as when she was in Xingluo Cang, caring about others, especially her, more than herself."

Shang Ruyi frowned slightly, and then she vaguely remembered that when she was captured and taken to Xingluo Warehouse, she had indeed mentioned to Xiao Yuansui that when she saw Lu Xiao again one day in the future, she hoped that he could show some mercy to this woman who had experienced a lot of hardships.

He still remembers.

Shang Ruyi said: "I am a woman, I know how difficult it is for women, so I will think more about her."

Xiao Yuansui looked at her silently for a while, then suddenly raised his voice and said, "Someone come!"

A soldier immediately came in to take orders. Xiao Yuansui ordered, "Take the princess down to bathe and change clothes. Take good care of her and don't neglect her."

The soldier said, "Yes."

Shang Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief, nodded to Xiao Yuansui, and followed the soldier out. As soon as she left, Hua Ziying came over from another road. When he entered the big tent, he immediately felt an invisible, gloomy atmosphere pressing on his heart. He whispered, "General..."

Xiao Yuansui walked back to the table silently and sat down, saying expressionlessly: "What's the matter?"

Hua Ziying said, "That... Miss Lu Xiao has been clamoring to see you. She refused to eat the food you sent her, and she didn't even change her clothes. She just kept waiting like that."

"..."

Xiao Yuansui frowned slightly. He did not stand up. Instead, he picked up the brush on the table and wrote a few strokes on the snow-white rice paper. Then he rolled it up and handed it to Hua Ziying, saying, "Give it to her. She knows what to do."
