In fact, she doesn't think so now.

Whether she is an old maid or not is just an unpleasant word used by others.

It would be fatal if you don’t have real skills and knowledge.

It just so happened that she concentrated on studying medicine and practicing martial arts for three years.

By that time, even if no one wants her, she can still travel around the world on her own, practicing medicine and saving lives, and her life will not be too bad.

But she had a hunch that Rong Yan would not have such vulgar thoughts.

Rong Yan laughed, "You know I can't."

If Shen Ruyi wasn't so sure, how could she laugh while talking?

Rong Yan sighed, "But as long as I can earn your trust and bring a smile to your face, I will be content in this life."

Then he looked at Shen Ruyi and said, "Ruyi, I promise you that I will not marry anyone other than you in this life. If you don't marry, we will protect each other from afar for the rest of our lives. If you marry, I will grow old with you."

"If someone else ascends the throne, I will take you far away, to a place where no one can disturb you."

"If I ascend the throne, I will burn down the three palaces and six courtyards, leaving only your bedroom!"

Shen Ruyi had no doubt about his sincerity.

But, "How can I be so worthy of your highness's affection?"

Hearing this, Rong Yan reached out and hugged her whole body, sighing, "Because, you were once the one I regretted so much."

In this life, he no longer wants to miss it, nor does he want to let go.

Shen Ruyi always has doubts.

At this moment, I couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness is actually... also reborn, right?"

"yes."

Rong Yan did not deny it, but just hugged her tighter and rested his chin on top of her head.

"The day of the Shen family's family recognition banquet was the tenth day after my rebirth. The time was so short that it was only enough for me to enter the palace and ask my mother to come out, and it was only enough for me to find an excuse to come and see you."

Mainly, he was reborn on a hospital bed.

By the time I was able to get up, five or six days had passed.

Shen Ruyi thought of her past life and asked in a trembling voice, "Then, when I died in my past life, Your Highness should still be at the border, right?"

"yes."

Hearing this, Rong Yan's voice trembled and he choked up as he said, "I rushed back after hearing the news. I went to the cold pond to retrieve someone, but all I got was a corpse, incomplete..."

Men don't shed tears easily.

But at this moment, his tears fell into Shen Ruyi's hair.

"I have seen countless corpses on the battlefield, but they all sacrificed their lives to fight the enemy."

"But you are different."

"You were killed by your own relatives."

Until this moment, he still felt heartbroken when he thought of that scene, "I regret so much that I let Li Xiangyi pass the message to Shen Cangyun, allowing him to sit in this position today and do whatever he wants."

"I always wonder, if he hadn't been the prime minister, but was still a lowly fifth-rank official, would he not have been targeted by others, and would he not have caused your tragic death in the end?"

Shen Ruyi raised her hand and pressed his lips.

"Your Highness, the Shen family's affairs have nothing to do with you, so don't blame yourself."

Her eyes were full of gratitude. "No matter how the Shen family treats me, I am very grateful to you for doing so much for me."

Unfortunately, in her previous life, her heart was all on Gu Qinghua and the father and son of the Shen family, and she had never seen Rong Yan at all.

What she didn't know was that there was someone in this world who was silently protecting her and would be heartbroken over her death.

"Your Highness," Shen Ruyi looked at him with sincere eyes, "Because of you, I feel that this world is still warm, wonderful, and prosperous. It's worth trying to break through and see for yourself."

Rong Yan couldn't help himself and leaned over to kiss her.

It was worth it for him to jump into the cold pond in his previous life and salvage her body.

She found Wang Banxian again and asked him to help her tie the soul thread, exchanging her own life for her chance of rebirth!

…

At the same time.

Shen Luo was stopped at the city gate.

"Who are you?"

Almost bumping into someone, Shen Luo looked up, staring at Wuying in astonishment, and asked hastily, "Why are you stopping me?"

"There is something you need to do."

"If you do it, you can still salvage something. If you don't do it, you can only wait for the Prime Minister's Mansion to go to hell."

Fengying stood in front of Shen Luo with his face covered, and his aura was completely different from the guards who had followed Rong Yan before.

The way he appeared also shocked Shen Luo.

A chill came over me, a shadow flashed by, and the person was right in front of me.

This is simply not a movement that an ordinary person could have.

"You, you are the Thirteenth Shadow Guard of Fengyu Pavilion?"

Shen Luo looked around and saw the empty city gate, feeling a little scared.

He thought of the wounds on Shen Xiao's body.

If the last time, the Thirteen Shadow Guards of Fengyu Pavilion took action was to retaliate against Shen Xiao, then why did they come to find him this time?

Is it revenge too?

Shen Luo frowned and felt a little desperate.

If the man in front of him took action, he would have no chance of survival.

Fortunately, he seemed to be here to talk about something.

Shen Luo took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to ask him: "What do you need me to do?"

Fengying looked at him and said, "First, Shen Jiaojiao took a Nanchu border defense map from your father's study. This map was handed over to the Nanchu spies last night and is being sent to Yangcheng today."

"You need to intercept this defense map."

His attitude was very tough. "Second, after you get the defense map back, don't mention Fengyu Pavilion."

"Otherwise, it will be your death."

The sword in his hand was against Shen Luo's neck.

Shen Luo felt that if he breathed a little harder, his throat would be easily cut.

He was so shocked that he said, "I am very grateful that you can tell me this news."

He lowered his head as he spoke, "But with my strength, I'm afraid I can't get back the defense map."

"That Nanchu spy must be better at martial arts than me!"

He was a student of Guangwenguan.

I usually study literature, and my martial arts skills are just average. What's more, I have no idea what to do now, and I have never done such a dangerous thing.

For a moment, I felt uncertain.

"The people from Fengyu Pavilion will help you get your things."

Fengying didn't count on him either.

The purpose of intercepting the defense map was to give the Shen family a reason not to be exterminated and to maintain the stability that the emperor wanted; it was also to temporarily suspend the war on the southern border.

At least, until the Cabinet is built.

Wait until His Highness is free to deal with the battlefield over there.

However, because of the last attack on Shen Xiao and the fire in Yingchun Tower, Fengyu Pavilion has appeared too frequently in the capital. If it intervenes in these matters again, it will easily arouse the emperor's suspicion.

If they really become the first to stand out, the pressure from all sides will be directed towards Fengyu Pavilion and the Ninth Prince.

Therefore, Fengyu Pavilion must be hidden.

Choose Shen Luo to be the chess piece.

But for Shen Luo, this was a pie in the sky that would save him and the Prime Minister's Mansion.

He could only answer it.

Shen Luo cupped his hands, "I'll be there right away!"

Fengying retracted his sword and said, "Remember, before tomorrow night, you must rush to the north gate of Yangcheng. Someone will pick you up there."

After saying that, she looked at him deeply and said, "If one day I hear someone say that this matter is related to Fengyu Pavilion, it will be the beginning of the downfall of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

After saying that, the black shadow disappeared in a flash.

Shen Luo stood blankly at the city gate, feeling a little helpless.

A moment later, the carriage of Shen Cangyun and others came behind him.

When Shen Yu saw him, he stopped the car and asked, "Shen Luo, what are you doing standing here like a pillar?"
