Noble First Daughter-in-law

Hearing this, Ashina Zhuxie glanced at them again and silently withdrew his gaze.

The people around him stopped talking and just looked at him. At this time, the torch in the hand of the soldier next to him shook, and the dazzling light illuminated the fatigue on his face.

It also illuminated a long, blood-red whip mark under the base of his right ear.

Everyone was immediately shocked: "Prince!?"

"..."

Ashina Zhuxie silently raised his hand to stop them from talking.

Just now in the king's tent, Ashina Zari questioned him about the reason for the fall of Taiyuan, and even wanted to punish him angrily. Ashina Zhuxie tried his best to argue that the situation in Taiyuan was complicated and he would not say much, but his troops had not arrived yet. However, the enemy was already waiting to ambush him in Mengyang. Apparently someone had leaked the whereabouts of his troops, and it was very likely that he was one of his own!

As soon as he heard this, Ashina Zari flew into a rage, and with the help of Mrs. Jia Yuan and those courtiers, Ashina Zari in anger picked up the whip next to him and whipped him hard.

This whip hit him right on the cheek, extending from the base of his ears to his neck.

He did not dodge, he took the whip abruptly, and then reported the news that he sent troops to find out this time - Yu Wenyuan had established a country in Guanzhong and proclaimed himself emperor, because when he was in Qixian, he clearly heard those People call Shang Ruyi "Princess Qin", so the matter becomes very clear.

Seeing how his eyes were blood red with pain, but his expression remained unchanged and he said those words calmly, Ashina Tsari seemed to feel something.

Finally, he suppressed his anger and just said he would remember it later before letting him out of the king's tent.

Facing the pitch-black night in front of him, the vast grassland as vast as the night sky, and the countless tents on the grassland with flickering bonfires, Ashina Zhuxie took a deep breath and said: "It's okay, let's go down and rest first."

Everyone nodded silently.

Only Zhenzhen turned around and glanced at Lei Yu and Shang Ruyi, who were standing not far away. They had obviously seen him coming out. Both of them had some complicated emotions on their faces. They whispered: "Prince, that prisoner, what should I do?" How to deal with it?"

"..."

Ashina Zhuxie didn't speak, and just walked over slowly.

There were no soldiers guarding the platform on this side, so the light was much darker. When he approached, the two of them felt the pressure of Mount Tai. Lei Yu almost subconsciously stretched out his hand to stop Shang Ruyi behind him.

Then, he looked at Ashina Zhuxie warily: "What are you going to do to her?"

Ashina Zhuxie looked at her calmly for a while, and then looked at Shang Ruyi, who frowned and seemed to be examining him in the night.

Then he said: "She will stay with you."

"..."

"The Khan is not going to deal with her for the time being, so she can move freely these days; but you also have to know that this is the Western Turks, and if she does any wrongdoing, the Khan will not forgive her lightly."

Lei Yu took a deep breath and said, "I know."

"it is good."

Ashina Zhuxie nodded, looked at her again, then turned and left.

Lei Yu did not speak, but frowned, looking at him with eyes that were not only wary but also full of hostility. It wasn't until Ashina Zhu Xie's back disappeared into the dark night that she let out a deep breath and turned back to face him. Shang Ruyi said: "Let's go."

"it is good."

Shang Ruyi followed her down the high platform, and within a few steps, he arrived at the door of the tent where Lei Yu lived. Only then did Shang Ruyi realize that this tent was very close to the king's tent, even closer than Ashina Zhu Xie's tent. .

Moreover, Ashina Zhuxie had just ordered people to leave first, and it seemed that they were coming here.

Lei Yu opened the curtain himself and welcomed her in.

As soon as they walked into the tent, they immediately felt a wave of heat with a faint sweet aroma. After a closer look, the tent was tall and spacious, comparable to the houses they used to live in in the Central Plains.The tent was also furnished according to the customs of the Central Plains region. A tall wooden screen was placed in the middle, dividing the tent into two rooms: an inner room and an inner room. Although the inner room is temporarily invisible, it should contain beds, bedding, and utensils for washing and dressing; the outer room The ground was covered with a thick felt, and a low table was placed on it. On both sides of the low table, there were cabinets placed next to the tent. Several fire pots were placed in front of the low table and around the tent. , no wonder I felt a hot air blowing on my face as soon as I walked in.

After entering the tent, Lei Yu took off his thick jacket.

Then he smiled bitterly and said: "I am not afraid of the cold originally, but when I went to the grassland, I realized what the real cold is like."

"..."

"So, I have the most braziers in the whole tent."

"..."

"Your body is not as good as mine. If you feel cold, just tell me and I will ask someone to add more heat."

Shang Ruyi shook his head.

In fact, when she woke up this way, she had already been so cold that her whole body was stiff, as if the blood in her body had half-condensed. She was so cold that she no longer felt uncomfortable with the cold; but once she was warmed like this, she regained consciousness. She began to tremble uncontrollably. When Lei Yu took her hand and walked to the bed in the inner room to sit down, a sickly blush appeared on her face.

Lei Yu felt something was wrong, so he reached out and touched it, and it was indeed hot.

She said: "You have a fever!"

Shang Ruyi raised his eyes and looked at her with bright but dull eyes: "Huh?"

Soon, after being pushed down on the bed by Lei Yu, she fell into a coma because of her fever. In the hazy moment, Shang Ruyi heard Lei Yu's frightened and worried voice, calling for a doctor and constantly whispering in her ear. He said words of comfort to her.

The doctor came quickly and after diagnosis and treatment, it was not serious.

In fact, even though she was so burned that her muscles and bones ached and she was unconscious, Shang Ruyi vaguely understood that it would be impossible for her not to be sick. After all, after hearing about Shen Wuzheng's suffering, her heart felt like it had been dug away bloody. Together, they left the city, were captured, and traveled all the way north. Although Ashina Zhuxie was quite polite to her, he was not attentive enough to give her some thick clothes, so that she kept resisting on the grassland with her inner numbness. The severe cold, such internal and external troubles, only to fall ill at this time, has reached the limit of the body.

Fortunately, her health is still good.

In a daze, Shang Ruyi was fed some bitter potion with a spoon one by one. Shang Ruyi groaned in discomfort, but listened to the soft words of comfort in his ear, and swallowed it obediently.At night, a pair of warm and gentle arms hugged her, and the obviously miserable but firm breath surrounded her, unconsciously driving away the bitter cold in her body.

Shang Ruyi finally fell asleep peacefully.

She didn't know how long it took, but she was woken up by a crackling sound. As soon as she opened her eyes, she faced a familiar but haggard face very close to her.

It's Lei Yu.

She had been sleeping next to her, lying under the quilt, holding Shang Ruyi tightly in her arms with her hands, and it was her gentle breath that drove away the chill in her body.

Shang Ruyi immediately showed an moved smile.

But the next moment, she saw that Lei Yu's eyebrows were frowning slightly unconsciously, as if he was worried about her even in his dream, and seemed to be disturbed by the noisy voice.

Only then did Shang Ruyi realize that it was raining outside.

I also experienced rainy days when I was traveling in the Turks as a child. The rain in the grassland is different from the rain in the Central Plains. No matter how heavy the rain in the Central Plains is, it is gentle. It is a chant among the pavilions and a roar that shakes the world; but the rain in the grassland , it was like countless arrows dropped from the sky, densely shooting through the sky and falling on the ground. A drop of rain was like a pit, and hitting the body was like an ice sword piercing the body, leaving people with nowhere to escape.

I don’t know how long it has been raining, but the sound is really loud, and the smell of cold rain even penetrates through the tent.

Shang Ruyi couldn't stop the sound and could only look at Lei Yu worriedly. Sure enough, she was uncomfortable with the noise and couldn't wake up. Her eyebrows were furrowed again and again, and several deep wrinkles had formed between her eyebrows.

Shang Ruyi reached out unknowingly, wanting to put his hands on both sides of her ears to prevent her from being disturbed again, but as soon as he reached out, he saw Lei Yu suddenly open his eyes.Shang Ruyi immediately retracted his hand: "Did I wake you up?"

"...!"

Lei Yu's eyes were shocked, but immediately showed a look of surprise. Seeing Shang Ruyi wake up and her expression had returned to normal, she said, "Are you okay?"

As he spoke, he reached out to touch her forehead.

The temperature felt in the palm of the hand is indeed the same as usual.

She immediately burst into laughter, clapped her hands vigorously, and said happily: "You are really fine. Great, great!"

Shang Ruyi looked at the darkening of her eyes and the red bloodshot eyes, and said guiltily: "I said yesterday that I came here to have fun with you, but instead I tired you of taking care of me. I'm really——"

Lei Yu immediately interrupted her: "Don't talk nonsense."

Shang Ruyi smiled.

Lei Yu said happily: "Are you feeling better now? Does your body still hurt? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else? Do you want to eat something?"

Shang Ruyi still smiled and shook his head.

But there was a bit of bitterness in the smile.

When I first met Lei Yu, I only knew that she was a strong woman who was merciless in her words and deeds. However, as I got to know her later, I knew that she was gentle at heart, but not good at expressing it. But no matter what, she was a tiger girl in Jiangmen, and she was... When hanging out in the military camp, there is always a lack of attentiveness and consideration from women.

But now, she was asking every question with great care.

It can be seen how lonely she has been these days, and how happy she is despite being uneasy when she sees her arrival.

Seeing Shang Ruyi's red eyes and silent expression, Lei Yu became even more worried, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to support her: "Then, what do you want?"

Shang Ruyi raised his eyes and looked at her, and said softly: "How about you lie with me for a while and we can talk."

"..."

"I failed last night and fell ill. In fact, I have many things I want to ask you."

Hearing what she said, Lei Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and lay down again calmly. He also stretched out his hand to tuck Shang Ruyi's quilt tightly, and then said, "What do you want to ask me?"

Shang Ruyi looked at her for a while.

When they first met yesterday, she was just happy. Today she noticed that Lei Yu's black hair was tied into a bun. Although it was not as exquisite as other Central Plains women's buns, she could still tell that she was married. woman's hairstyle.

Shang Ruyi said softly: "I heard before that you married the young prince of the Western Turks, Ashina Yiasu."

Upon hearing this, Lei Yu lowered his eyes.

After a long while, he responded softly: "Yes."

Then he looked up at Shang Ruyi and said softly: "You all know?"

Although she said it simply, Shang Ruyi also knew who the "you" in her mouth mainly meant, so he nodded and said: "Yes, Yu—Fengchen knows. He Xingyuan also knows."

Lei Yu was silent for a while and said with a wry smile: "They will definitely be angry with me."

Shang Ruyi immediately said: "How could it be?"

"..."

"Of course, it depends on yourself."

"Look at myself? What do you look at me for?"

"How are you doing in Western Turkestan? If you are not doing well, of course they will be angry."

"..."

"I can do it too."

Hearing these words, Lei Yu's eyes turned redder, but she seemed ashamed to be seen through her thoughts at this moment, so she hurriedly lowered her head. After a while, she swallowed the almost surging heat, and then said: " I'm doing well."

Shang Ruyi said: "That little prince, is he-kind to you?"

Speaking of Iasu, Lei Yu's eyes showed a trace of complicated emotions. After being silent for a while, he finally said in a heavy tone: "Okay."

After saying that, as if he was afraid that Shang Ruyi wouldn't believe it, he said again: "Very good."

Hearing her say that, even though it was just two words, the string that had been tense in Shang Ruyi's heart finally relaxed a little.

She said: "That's good, that's it..."

In this way, even if one day she has the opportunity to go back, she will be able to give an explanation to Pei Xingyuan.

She thought for a while and then asked, "Are the other people here nice to you?"

Hearing this, Lei Yu smiled, sighed, and said: "Actually, I didn't care about this at first, but the people here are still polite to me. Although Zhali Khan is very fierce, he She doesn’t pay much attention to me, Mrs. Jia Yuan is the one who interacts with me the most on weekdays.”

"Mrs. Kagen?"

Shang Ruyi immediately thought of the mature and charming woman behind Ashina Zari yesterday and said, "Is that the one yesterday?"

Lei Yu nodded and said, "Yes. She is Iasu's mother."

"..."

"Because of her birth, she could not be canonized as Ketun, but Khan doted on her very much, and because he doted on her, he doted on Iasu very much."

"..."

"With Iasu protecting me, my life in Turks is fine, although I'm not used to it."

Shang Ruyi nodded.

In fact, in the king's tent yesterday, she could somewhat see the influence of Mrs. Jia Yuan on Ashina Tsari, as well as the silent understanding between her and the ministers. It is no wonder that Lei Yu can use a He was taken away from the king's tent because of his identity as an old friend. In fact, it was not because of this identity, nor because of Lei Yu.

It's Iasu who is behind Lei Yu.

Since Ashina Zari loves Iasu, some things may become clearer.

Thinking of this, Shang Ruyi suddenly raised his head and looked around: "By the way, where is Prince Iasu?"

Today I will combine two chapters into one chapter.
