Noble First Daughter-in-law

Chapter 142 I Want to Know the Answer Too

"..."

Empress Jiang raised her eyebrows slightly, and looked at her with an inquiring expression.

After being silent for a while, he didn't say anything after all, just smiled and turned to leave.

It wasn't until her footsteps could no longer be heard that Shang Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief, but Tusheer and Lei Yu from outside the door had already rushed in, and Tucherer immediately stepped forward and took out a handkerchief to wipe her forehead. In a cold sweat, he asked eagerly: "Miss, are you alright? The Empress, she didn't blame you, did she?"

Shang Ruyi smiled weakly and said, "What kind of queen is she, why would you make things difficult for me?"

Tusher's heart hung for a long time before letting go.

Lei Yu, who was sitting by the side, looked at her and said solemnly, "Are you sure?"

Shang Ruyi met her gaze and said with a wry smile: "Even if the Empress really wants to settle accounts with me, she has to wait until this pass. Now, whether we can live until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow is not certain."

Hearing this sentence, the atmosphere in the room became tense again.

Yes, the present crisis is the critical moment for everyone. Turkic troops besieged the city with [-] troops, and not even a single bird can fly out. No matter how great the grievances are, at such a critical point of life and death, it seems that they are nothing.

Lei Yu sighed, and then said: "Tusher, didn't the people around the queen tell you just now that the potion is prepared for your lady, please hurry up and get it, don't neglect."

Tucher agreed, and immediately got up and went out.

Shang Ruyi lay on the bed, and after talking for a long time, she became more sober and gathered some strength in her body, so she wanted to turn over and sit up. Lei Yu couldn't see her lying on the bed slowly like a turtle, so she He stepped forward to help her sit up, even though it was just a small movement, it still hurt so much that Shang Ruyi broke out in a cold sweat.

Lei Yu impatiently took out a handkerchief and threw it to her: "Take it and wipe it yourself."

Shang Ruyi smiled, and obediently picked up her handkerchief to wipe her sweat - she probably knew why Lei Yu's attitude towards her had changed again, after all, anyone would take it lightly if something like that happened to a married woman Look at yourself.

What's more, her husband is still the man who haunts Lei Yu's dreams.

She somewhat lamented her ill-fated fate, and met people who were so complicated that they hid eight hundred minds, but looking back, she cherished a friend like Lei Yu who showed all his joy and anger on his face even more.

So he said, "I know what you're mad about."

"..."

"But I can assure you that I am a good man, and I can stand up straight."

Her words somewhat relieved the depression in Lei Yu's heart, but after being silent for a while, Lei Yu still couldn't help asking: "Then tell me, what is the relationship between you and the emperor?"

"..."

"If it really doesn't matter, why did he hug you in front of everyone? At that time, the way he looked at you, I don't think you have any relationship at all."

"...!"

Shang Ruyi's breathing suddenly sank.

The injury on the back seemed to be aching again.

She involuntarily squeezed the handkerchief tightly, her face was silent for a long time, she finally raised her head and said to Lei Yu, "Probably, I want to know the answer myself."

After speaking, he smiled lightly.

Looking at her pale smile that was as pale as a cloud of smoke, Lei Yu frowned slightly.

Just as she was about to say something, Shang Ruyi suddenly raised her head to look outside the door, and said softly, "Thunder?"

"thunder?"

Lei Yu frowned: "Where is the winter—"

Before she finished speaking, she realized it by herself, and immediately put on a dignified expression, Huo De stood up: "The Turkic soldiers are attacking the city again!"

"what?!"

Shang Ruyi was shocked, and listened carefully, only to find that the rumbling sound just heard seemed to be mixed with some other noises; at this time, Tusheer ran in from outside in a panic with medicine: "These Turkic soldiers are too bad. They attacked the city until midnight last night. They just rested for a while, and they came again."

Lei Yu said angrily: "When they attack the city, do you have to wait until you have rested before coming back?"

After saying this, she had already walked out quickly. Just as she reached the door, she turned her head worriedly and said, "Tusher, take care of your young lady, don't let her run around, and be careful not to hurt her by mistake."

Tusheer nodded, and immediately ran to the bed, while Lei Yu had already rushed out a few steps.

Shang Ruyi was still at a loss for what was happening before him, he could only watch Lei Yu's back disappearing at the door, and what followed was that loud noise that was even more deafening than a single sound.

Her face also gradually paled: "Really, there is a fight?"

Tusher's thin arms hugged her as hard as she could, and although her voice was a little trembling, she still wanted to comfort her: "Miss, don't worry, the government office is far away from the city gate, and we won't be shot by arrows here. It's just—" —”

She didn't even dare to say the latter.

She didn't dare to say it, but Shang Ruyi knew very well in her heart that although they are safe now, once the city is broken... don't talk about the soldiers guarding the city outside, let alone the two of them who are still safe right now, even the supreme emperor , I'm afraid they will be crushed by the iron hooves of the Turkic soldiers!

Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi's blood ran cold all over her body.

She didn't dare to move, and couldn't move, so she could only be hugged and curled up in this room by Tusher, but even so, the war was still not far away from them——

They first heard loud rumbling noises one after another. It was not thunder, but the sound of Turkic people hitting the city gate.

Although the official office is far away from the city gate, Yanmen County only has this square inch of land after all. The loud noise and earth-shattering shock from the impact on the city gate were clearly transmitted to Shang Ruyi's ears, and her heart also followed suit. It was so shocking that even the heartbeat almost stopped.

Then, there was a sharp sound piercing the sky.

That sound was like a flock of birds flying by, but what the birds fly by startled the wind and left behind the scenery, but this sound—it started the wind and left behind the scenery, but it was blood flowing like a river. The "landscape" of dead bodies.

That is, the sound of Turkic soldiers firing all arrows.

Shang Ruyi only felt that his eardrums were about to be cut, and the wound on his back, which was shot by Mingdi, seemed to be sensed at this moment, and it also began to ache faintly.

In the end, it was the exclamation and screams of countless people.

These voices were clearer and more real than all the previous voices. Shang Ruyi couldn't even ignore the strong smell of blood in the screams. The people of Yanmen County must be fleeing everywhere, but no matter how they They screamed, they had nowhere to escape, the arrows passed everywhere, the corpses were everywhere, and the blood flowed like a river.

This small Yanmen County, in a place that I can't see, has probably become a purgatory on earth...
