Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 1215: Mutiny in the Army
When we left the military camp, it was almost the evening hour.

The city gates would be closed later, so Shang Ruyi prepared to take Tushe'er away. As soon as he stood up, he heard Yuwen Ye ask, "Are you going anywhere else today?"

Shang Ruyi looked back at him in surprise: "How did you know?"

Yuwen Ye took a look at her clothes - a brocade shirt with a peony pattern, a jacket with a snow fox collar, and a skirt embroidered with silver silk flowers. If she was just coming to the military camp, she should have dressed warmer and more neatly. This outfit obviously meant she was going somewhere else to meet other people, and she wanted people to see that she was safe and sound.

Yuwen Ye snorted and asked, "You want to go back to the Shen family?"

Shang Ruyi opened his eyes wide: "You know all this."

"Humph."

Seeing his smug look, Shang Ruyi smiled, looked outside again, and said, "I haven't seen my brother here, he must have gone home."

Yuwen Ye’s face froze slightly.

Shang Ruyi smiled again and said, "I just want to go back together to have a look, so I don't have to ask my father for permission to leave the palace next time. Besides, Yuan Qian is not easy to get rid of now. When I left today, he hugged my legs and made a fuss for a long time."

Yuwen Ye was silent for a moment, then said, "I'll go with you."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi looked at him in surprise: "What are you going to do?"

Yuwen Ye said, "Can't I go and discuss things with the Right Prime Minister and Military Officer Shen?"

He deliberately mentioned the official positions of Shen Shiyan and Shen Wuzheng, as if he was traveling with Shang Ruyi only for official business. Shang Ruyi was a little confused for a moment and looked outside again: "But the city gate is about to close. If you go, you won't be able to return to the barracks tonight."

Yuwen Ye glared at her and said, "If I can't go back, then I can't go back to my own house for one night?"

After saying that, he stood up and asked someone to take off his armor. Shang Ruyi blinked his eyes, suddenly realized something, and smiled.

After removing their armor and changing their clothes, the two of them left the military camp in a carriage and soon entered the city. After they entered the city, the city gate slowly closed in the twilight. The two of them swayed in the carriage for a while, and after about two quarters of an hour, they finally stopped at the gate of the Shen Mansion.

It was already getting dark, and the lanterns on both sides of the gate illuminated the small area in front of the gate. Because someone had come to inform them in advance, Shen Shiyan and his wife, along with Shen Wuzheng and everyone else in the family, had been waiting at the door early. As soon as they saw the two men get out of the car, they immediately came forward to greet them.

Shang Ruyi stood still and immediately helped the two of them up: "Uncle and aunt, don't be so polite."

"princess……"

After Shen Shiyan shouted these two words, he said no more, and just stared at Shang Ruyi with red eyes. Compared with him, Yu Shi was naturally more emotional. She held Shang Ruyi's hand with her backhand and whispered with tears in her eyes: "Princess, is the trip going well? Are you not injured?"

Hearing this, Shen Wuzheng, who was standing behind her, reached out and supported her shoulders, and said softly: "Mother, didn't I tell you that Princess Ruyi was not seriously injured."

Yu pursed her lips and said, "Even if he wasn't seriously injured, he was still injured."

Shen Wuzheng smiled bitterly and said nothing.

After a long separation, Shang Ruyi felt his uncle and aunt's care and concern for him. His eyes were already filled with tears, but he smiled when he heard this and comforted her: "I'm fine, don't believe me - Aunt, take me in and take a closer look to see if I'm hurt."

The couple came to their senses and realized that they shouldn't let them stand at the door in the cold wind, so they hurriedly welcomed them in. The hall was also brightly lit, and servants had already prepared hot tea and snacks. After the two sides met, they sat down. Yu looked at them carefully in the light again. Shang Ruyi smiled and said, "Aunt, I didn't lie to you, I'm fine."

Yu's eyes were still red: "He's darker and thinner."

She leaned towards Shang Ruyi again and whispered, "He must be injured."

Shang Ruyi and Shen Wuzheng both shook their heads helplessly, but Yuwen Ye whispered, "When she came to Hulao Pass to look for me, she was on the battlefield and was indeed injured. But please rest assured, Ruyi is fine. Otherwise, not only me, but also my father would not let her go out."

Hearing what he said, Yu said hurriedly, "Don't be surprised, Your Highness."

Shen Shiyan put his hand on the back of her hand and said softly, "Okay, stop nagging. It seems that the princess is fine. You should rest assured."

After saying this, he turned to Yuwen Ye and Shang Ruyi and asked, "I wonder why His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin and the Princess are here this time?"

Shang Ruyi smiled and said, "I just came to see the two elders. I know my aunt must be worried about me, and I came to reassure her. And also..." As she spoke, she turned her head to look at Yuwen Ye, her eyes slightly raised, as if to say: Don't you have something important to discuss with them?
Meeting her gaze, Yuwen Ye remained calm and said, "I still have something to ask my uncle."

Shen Shiyan hurriedly asked, "I wonder what your Highness wants to ask?"

Yuwen Ye asked, "Did your father tell you in the past few days how he plans to deal with Xiao Yuansui?"

As soon as the name was heard, the whole hall fell silent. Shang Ruyi's originally calm heartstrings seemed to be pulled hard by a sudden black hand, and a loud bang made her a little dazed.

Xiao Yuansui...

Yes, she almost forgot that there was such a person who was brought back to Chang'an by Yuwen Cheng in advance as proof of his contribution to the attack on Luoyang. Now, they have returned to Chang'an for several days, but there is still no news about this person.

Yuwen Ye had said before that how to deal with Xiao Yuansui would be a very important matter. At the very least, there would be a mutiny in the army, and at worst...

Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi hurriedly looked at Shen Shiyan, only to see a look of bewilderment on his face. He said softly, "I have mentioned this matter to the emperor in the Shangshutai these few days. This man is the leader of the Wanggangzhai bandits, and he and Liang Shide are entrenched in Luoyang. Their influence is great. Whether he surrenders or is held accountable, there should be a result."

Yuwen Ye said: "What does the emperor say?"

Shen Shiyan glanced at him and shook his head gently: "The emperor said that he has his own decision on this matter and asked us not to ask."

Yuwen Ye frowned, thought for a moment, and asked, "Where is he being held now?"

"In the prison cell of Dali Temple,"

After Shen Shiyan finished speaking, he added: "The emperor personally sent people to guard him, and ordinary people can't see him."

Hearing this, Yuwen Ye and Shang Ruyi looked at each other, their expressions becoming more serious - Yuwen Yuan made such arrangements to prevent anyone from having contact with Xiao Yuansui, so they had no way of knowing how he was going to deal with this person.

This will cause trouble...

Just when everyone in the lobby fell silent again, a thin and handsome figure slowly walked out of the door.

I'm writing a chapter during my break. It's short, please forgive me.

I wish you all a happy new year and happiness every day
