Chapter 156 Rescued
But at that moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly rang out, and the neighing of horse hooves broke the silence above the city wall.
Ye Jinshu rode his horse and rushed towards the city wall like a gust of wind.
He had just arrived in Ganjing today, and as soon as he entered the city, he hurriedly ordered his men to find out about her.
After some twists and turns, I found out that His Majesty had taken her out of the palace to relax.
Later, she happened to meet Xitong, who looked hurried, on the road. From Xitong, she learned that she had come to the city wall.
When Ye Jinshu arrived, His Majesty had already arrived.
He could only find a hidden place under the city wall and stare closely at the familiar figure on the wall.
She was sitting alone on the city wall, swaying like a fallen leaf that would be blown away by the wind at any time.
When Ye Jinshu saw this, his heart almost jumped into his throat and his heart was tightly clenched.
Although he could not hear clearly what she and His Majesty said on the city wall, looking at the situation and thinking about the contents of the letter, he could feel that she was deeply hurt by His Majesty.
If not for this, he would not have run to the city wall and attempted suicide.
Ye Jinshu's eyes were fixed on her, not daring to move them away even a little, for fear that in the blink of an eye, she would fall off and he would not be able to catch her.
However, not long after, a scene that terrified him happened.
She suddenly leaned back, and at the moment she fell, Ye Jinshu did not hesitate, he squeezed his legs hard on the horse's belly, and drove the horse towards the city wall.
When Shen Yuning was about to fall, he stood on the horse, exerted force with his feet, and kicked the horse's back hard.
He used the momentum to fly up, stretched out his arms, and accurately grasped her waist.
Only until he held her firmly in his arms did Ye Jinshu's anxious heart finally settle down a little.
Shen Yuning originally closed her eyes, immersed in despair.
Suddenly, I felt a warm embrace and subconsciously opened my eyes with confusion and surprise.
When he saw the person in front of him clearly, he couldn't help but blurt out: "Jin, Jinshu?"
The long-lost name, with a hint of intimacy, came out of her mouth as if it had spanned a long time.
When Ye Jinshu heard this name, he felt mixed emotions and his mood was complicated.
Ever since they met in Qianjing, she only called him General Ye or cousin, and she hadn't heard him call her "Jinshu" for a long time.
"Do you know how worried I was just now?"
Ye Jinshu whispered as he held her steadily to the ground.
Quan Minghe, who was on the city wall, looked at Ye Jinshu who suddenly appeared, and saw him saving Shen Yuning.
At this moment, there was no feeling of jealousy in my heart, only one thought in my mind and eyes.
She's still alive, still alive...
Quan Minghe walked down the city wall with a staggering step, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and when he walked downstairs, he forced himself to restore his expressionless and majestic appearance.
But his slightly trembling hands still revealed the turmoil in his heart.
Because Shen Yuning did not break free from Ye Jinshu's arms, Ye Jinshu did not let her go. He was greedy for this hard-earned warmth, so he held her and walked towards the city gate step by step.
Because of Concubine Shen's sudden change, Zhao Cong ordered people to clear out all the people at the city gate early.
At this moment, the city gate was empty and quiet.
Quan Minghe just stood there quietly, his dark eyes fixed on the figure of Ye Jinshu who slowly walked in with her in his arms.
His eyes were deep and difficult to read, making it impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
The guards around all lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound, and no one dared to look up at the scene.
The atmosphere at the entire city gate was so depressing that it made people feel breathless.
Ye Jinshu held Shen Yuning steadily and walked towards His Majesty step by step.
When he came closer, he knelt on one knee. Although his movements were respectful, his voice was cold: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
There was also a hint of hatred amidst the respect.
As for Yu Gong, he knew that the person in front of him was the ruler of the world, and the emperor's majesty should not be offended and should be respected.
But privately, he also hated him in his heart, hated his power, hated him for breaking Shen Yuning's heart and making her suffer so much that she almost committed suicide.
Quan Minghe's gaze was always on Shen Yuning in Ye Jinshu's arms.
After a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice: "Stand up."
Ye Jinshu stood up as he was told, and then began to explain in a neither humble nor arrogant manner the reason why he came to Beijing.
On the surface, he and Shen Yuning could only be relatives, and he must not cause her any gossip because of his actions.
"When my aunt and uncle heard the news of the queen's miscarriage, they were worried. However, my uncle was not allowed to come to the capital without being summoned. They had no choice but to entrust me to come to the capital to visit the queen."
Ye Jinshu raised his eyes slightly and looked at His Majesty calmly.
"Your Highness has been spoiled in the Shen family since she was a child, so it is inevitable that she is a little spoiled. If I have offended Your Majesty before, I hope Your Majesty will be more tolerant."
Ye Jinshu seemed to be asking His Majesty to be tolerant, but every word he said was silently defending Shen Yuning.
Quan Minghe naturally understood the meaning of Ye Jinshu's words, and he looked at Ye Jinshu coldly.
He was backing her up.
But he will protect his woman.
Quan Minghe subconsciously took a step forward and stretched out his hand, intending to take Shen Yuning from Ye Jinshu.
But Ye Jinshu just took a step back.
He continued, "Your Majesty is in a heavy mood. I am worried that you will be depressed after returning to the palace and something irreversible will happen again. Therefore, I beg Your Majesty to allow Your Majesty to return to your natal home, the Shen Mansion, to stay for a while so that you can relax. I hope Your Majesty will do this."
Ye Jinshu looked at Quan Minghe calmly, without any intention of backing down.
Quan Minghe pursed his lips tightly and looked at Shen Yuning with a complicated look, showing heartache, helplessness, and a hint of unspeakable bitterness.
Shen Yuning still hugged Ye Jinshu's neck, turned her head to one side, and didn't want to look at Quan Minghe at all.
The heartache that Quan Minghe felt just now because of her fall from the building has not completely dissipated yet. Perhaps it was because the pain just now was too unforgettable.
So much so that at this moment, when he saw her leaning so intimately against a man, he couldn't bear to say a harsh word.
I just looked at her silently, feeling mixed emotions.
After a long while, his dry voice finally rang out: "Mianmian, follow me back to the palace."
There seemed to be an unquestionable tone in his words, but if you listened carefully, you could hear some pleading in them.
However, Shen Yuning grabbed Ye Jinshu's clothes on the back even tighter.
She shook her head at his shoulder, and the suppressed crying sound came out faintly.
It seemed like he was resisting silently, and also seemed like he was venting the endless sadness and despair in his heart.
Ye Jinshu had never seen her cry so desperately and yet so restrainedly. His heart was gripped and his eyes instantly turned red.
He raised his eyes, a cold light flashed across his face, and looked at His Majesty: "I beg Your Majesty to grant me your blessing."
When Quan Minghe heard her suppressed crying, his breathing became heavier and his heart was broken.
Doesn't she really want to see herself?
In fact, he could have taken her back to the palace by force. He even didn't want to transfer her former attachment to him to Ye Jinshu.
But the forced words kept circling around my lips, but I couldn't say them out.
He stared at Ye Jinshu quietly for a long time. There seemed to be invisible sparks flickering in the eyes of the two men, competing silently.
Even though Ye Jinshu was in a low position, he had no intention of retreating, and the determination in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
Quan Minghe's lips were pursed tightly.
Finally, he opened his lips and uttered a few words with difficulty: "I will come to pick up Concubine Shen back to the palace in a few days."
After saying that, he suddenly turned his back and stopped looking at the scene in front of him that made him heartbroken and helpless.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Ye Jinshu held Shen Yuning in his arms and walked past Quan Minghe like a winner because Shen Yuning chose him.
