Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1105 Do you regret it now?
Hearing Shi Yuxin's sharp question, even Hua Ziying on the side frowned and turned to look at Xiao Yuansui.

Xiao Yuansui also frowned, but relaxed his brows the next moment, with a faint, confident smile on his lips, and said, "No, it can't go on indefinitely."

"..."

"If my estimate is correct, there will be a result within three days."

"result?"

These two words made Shi Yuxin feel a little confused.

What Xiao Yuansui just said was that between them and Yuwen Ye, one of them would lose patience first, but what was the "result"? Was it referring to the result of who lost patience first?
Also, why three days?

She was about to ask again when Xiao Yuansui smiled and said, "General Shi, after you came back and learned that your brother had been captured, you remained very calm and had no intention of leading troops to rescue him. In other words, you actually understand that the best thing for you now is to wait."

"..."

"In that case, why not trust me and yourself?"

"..."

Hearing this, Shi Yuxin held his breath and looked at him for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh and said, "Okay."

"..."

"But I also hope that the general understands that no matter what the outcome of the battle is, I don't want my brother to be harmed. Even if his rash actions violate military orders, it is the military orders that punish him, and it is me."

Xiao Yuansui nodded: "I understand."

Shi Yuxin let out another deep breath, then stood up, bowed to Xiao Yuansui and Hua Ziying, then turned and walked out.

As soon as she left, Hua Ziying immediately looked at Xiao Yuansui: "Brother, three days?"

Facing him, Xiao Yuansui's smile was no longer mysterious, but he said calmly: "You forgot that we are not the only ones in a hurry now."

Not only them, who else?
Yuwen Ye?
still--

Before he could think about it, Xiao Yuansui sighed with a hint of fatigue and said, "Okay, go down. I see you haven't slept all night, go down and rest for a while. You may not need to send troops in the next two days, but you can't slack off. The people below must train well when it's time to train. Yuwen Ye's soldiers are all well-trained by him, and they are not easy to deal with."

This was a loss that Hua Ziying had suffered in the past. He nodded with sympathy, looked at Xiao Yuansui again, and turned to leave.

After everyone left, Xiao Yuansui sat in his seat for a long time.

In fact, he was the one who hadn't even closed his eyes the whole night. At this moment, he really felt the fatigue surging up like the tide, and every breath seemed to pull his eyelids down a little. But he inexplicably didn't want to lie down to sleep. He just sat there with his fists clenched on his knees like a statue for a long time. Finally, he sighed and stood up.

When I walked out of the tent, the rain outside had not stopped yet. A gust of wind blew towards me, and a layer of fine rain and dew covered my face.

A soldier guarding outside the tent immediately picked up an umbrella at his feet and tried to give it to him, but Xiao Yuansui waved his hand and said, "I'm just taking a walk, no need to make a fuss."

The two immediately said: "Yes."

So he walked forward slowly in the rain. Soon his hair was covered with raindrops and his shoulders were wet. The wind blew in the chilly early autumn and the cold penetrated directly into his bones through his skin, but he seemed not to feel anything. Before he got even wetter, he walked to a tent.

It is Shang Ruyi’s tent.

At this time, the soldiers had just finished lunch and went to rest, so there were not many people around. Xiao Yuansui didn't have to worry about someone seeing him paying too much attention to this "prisoner", but he didn't go in immediately. Instead, he stood outside the tent, quietly listening to the crackling sound of rain hitting the tent.

In the gaps between the sounds, one could hear the people inside talking——

"Princess, I have finished sewing it, please take a look." "Give it to me."

"Yes...Princess, your face is like this, what should you do in the future?"

"do not talk."

Hearing the low and hoarse voice, Xiao Yuansui's brows furrowed more and more. At this moment, the person inside seemed to sense something. Suddenly, a few heavy and hurried footsteps sounded, and then the tent was lifted open by a white but rough hand.

Wo Xue stood at the door, looking at Xiao Yuansui with a frown.

Seeing her, Xiao Yuansui immediately put away the unnecessary expressions on his face, only a slight smile appeared on his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes: "You are the girl named Wo Xue they talked about. I heard that you are very good at fighting."

"..."

"However, no matter how good your skills are, they are useless here."

"..."

"It's best to put away useless things. Otherwise, if I punish you, I won't be able to find someone who can take better care of your princess."

Hearing this, Wo Xue frowned but still said nothing.

Xiao Yuansui said: "Move aside, I want to see your princess."

There was a hint of hesitation on Woxue's face, probably because she knew that in a place like this, Xiao Yuansui's words were no different from an imperial decree, and she could not stop him. Moreover, his words just now were very clear. If she dared to move, he would not show mercy to an ordinary girl like her. Once she died, Shang Ruyi would have no one around her.

But she was unwilling to give up just like that.

At this time, Shang Ruyi's low voice came from behind: "Let him in."

"..."

Wo Xue let out a deep breath, then took two steps to the side. Xiao Yuansui lowered his head and walked into the tent that was filled with the smell of medicine.

Shang Ruyi was sitting beside the bed. When he saw him come in, he looked up at him.

The moment the two people's eyes met, Xiao Yuansui's breath was held.

He saw Shang Ruyi's face - in fact, he couldn't see her face. At this moment, she was wrapped in a thick bandage from under her eyes to her philtrum, with only her eyes and lips exposed. It was not known whether it was because she had cried or for some other reason, but her eyes were red, but seemed more distinct and brighter, and her lips were pale from blood loss. She looked a little funny, but Xiao Yuansui felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart.

He subconsciously wanted to walk over, but Wo Xue walked to Shang Ruyi's side before him, and his small body invisibly separated the two of them.

So Xiao Yuansui only took two steps forward and stopped.

Looking at Shang Ruyi's eyes that seemed a little annoyed and angry, he said, "Is the injury serious?"

Shang Ruyi was silent for a moment before saying, "She used the earring, not a sharp weapon, so the wound was not serious."

"..."

"But, there may still be scars."

Xiao Yuansui frowned.

After a long silence, he suddenly chuckled and said, "Do you regret it now?"
