Chapter 470 The Result You Wanted...
Shang Ruyi never expected that she would fall asleep simply by lying down fully clothed and leaning against Yuwen Ye's chest.
When I woke up, it was already the next morning.
When Tushe'er gently stroked her arm to wake her, half of her soul was still lingering in the rare peaceful dream. Opening her eyes, she groggily met Tushe'er's concerned gaze. It took her a long time before she heard her voice, seemingly coming from a great distance—
“…Miss, Miss, it’s time to get up.”
"..."
"Miss, it's getting late."
"..."
"The eldest young master and his entourage will be setting off in a little while. Aren't you going to see them off?"
The eldest son?!
These three words stung her like a needle, making her instantly snap back to reality. She hurriedly sat up, but because she got up so quickly and was still a little groggy, she almost fell off the bed. Luckily, Tu She'er caught her.
Tushe'er hurriedly said, "Miss, be careful, looking at it too quickly can make you dizzy."
"..."
Shang Ruyi barely managed to steady herself, looked at her blankly, then looked down at herself, only to realize that it was already dawn. Sunlight streamed in through the window, illuminating the room brightly. She hadn't even changed her clothes and had actually slept in Yuwen Ye's arms all night. She blushed slightly.
Seeing her like this, Tushe'er smiled and said, "This servant knows that Miss is working too hard."
Shang Ruyi glared at her, her face turning even redder.
She still unconsciously murmured, "How...how did I fall asleep?"
Even if she didn't attend yesterday's banquet, she probably still had a lot to do. For example, she had to wait for the reports from her subordinates about the results of the cleanup after yesterday's battle, find out the situation on the other side of the river after Xue Xian's defeat, and even if the two escaped guards had really left Fufeng, she should send more people to chase after them.
But she just fell asleep...
Looking back at the embrace she had nestled in all night, she seemed to vaguely understand why she had fallen asleep. This was indeed a rare moment of peace in recent days—Yuwen Ye was still fast asleep, but at this moment, his complexion had almost returned to normal, his breathing was more even and smooth, and Shang Ruyi reached out to touch his cheek again; his fever had completely subsided. He was even better than yesterday.
She couldn't help but smile and whispered, "That's wonderful."
Tushe'er also smiled and said, "Woxue has already prepared the medicine according to the prescription Miss gave yesterday. It will be delivered to the young master to drink in a little while. He will be completely cured after drinking two more doses."
"Um."
Shang Ruyi smiled almost happily and nodded.
Then he turned to look at Tusheer: "You just said, the eldest young master—"
Tushe'er immediately said, "By the way, the eldest young master and the others already agreed yesterday that they would set off back to Daxing early this morning. I saw that it was getting late, so I came to call you, Miss. Would you like to go see them off?"
"certainly."
As Shang Ruyi spoke, she immediately got up from the bed. Tu She'er had already prepared hot water and a towel for her. After washing up and changing her clothes, just as she finished, Tu She'er remembered something and whispered, "Oh, right, Miss—"
Before he could finish speaking, there were two knocks on the door.
Tushe'er immediately asked, "Who is it?"
A gentle, calm voice came from outside the door: "It's me."
Upon hearing the voice, Shang Ruyi was startled, but she quickly regained her composure and gave Tu She'er a wink. Tu She'er hurriedly stepped forward and opened the door, where they saw a tall and handsome figure standing in the doorway, bathed in sunlight, smiling at them.
It was Yuwen Qian.
Shang Ruyi asked with some surprise, "Why is Big Brother here?"
Yuwen Qian smiled and said, "We are about to set off back to Daxing. Before we leave, we would like to come and see you and Fengchen one last time."
Having said that, he bowed and walked in.
Ever since he said those things to her yesterday, Shang Ruyi has felt strange whenever she sees him again. Perhaps she feels a little guilty, but there seems to be an even more complicated worry in her guilt.
Yuwen Qian walked in, but he was even more composed than he had been yesterday. He slowly entered the inner room, stood by the bed and looked at Yuwen Ye's face for a while, then nodded with satisfaction: "His complexion is much better than yesterday. It seems that after taking two more doses of medicine, he should be fully recovered."
Shang Ruyi replied, "Yes."
Yuwen Qian smiled and said, "In that case, sister-in-law can rest assured."
"..."
Shang Ruyi paused for a moment, then said, "Fengchen's illness came on strangely. Someone had already scavenged all the medicinal herbs that could cure this disease before he fell ill, which is even stranger. I can't be completely at ease until I figure these things out."
Yuwen Qian raised an eyebrow slightly and glanced back at her.
After a long silence, he smiled and said, "Yesterday on the battlefield, Xue Xian suffered a great defeat and fled in disarray. Instead of following the ancient adage of not pursuing a desperate enemy, my sister-in-law ordered people to continue chasing the remnants. At that time, it was clear that my sister-in-law is someone who cannot bear to be wronged or suffer losses. Hearing what my sister-in-law said today, it is indeed true."
Shang Ruyi said, "Fengchen is my husband. How can I let him suffer like this?"
Then he looked at Yuwen Qian and said, "As the elder brother, I think the same thing as you."
Yuwen Qian paused for a moment, then said, "Of course."
"..."
"I originally intended to stay a couple more days to clarify some things. However—"
Shang Ruyi's heart skipped a beat.
She subconsciously looked up at Yuwen Qian, only to see that he had also glanced at her. His clear, bright eyes seemed to see through many things in an instant. He smiled at her, but didn't say anything more.
This time, it was Shang Ruyi who hesitated.
She said softly, "But what?"
"..."
Yuwen Qian did not answer the question, but suddenly said, "Sister-in-law, in last night's battle, apart from those who fell into the Xiaolin River and were left without a trace, and those who were defeated and fled, you annihilated at least 80,000 troops of the Longxi Army."
"..."
"This is a rather fatal blow to Xue Xian."
"..."
"Just like before, when he slaughtered 80,000 men in Fufeng, causing Fufeng's morale to plummet, the morale of the Longxi army will also begin to decline. At this time, if Xue Xian wants to regroup, he must rebuild his prestige in the army and boost morale through a battle. And this battle—"
At this point, he looked down at Shang Ruyi: "This will be a life-or-death battle for Fufeng."
"...!"
Shang Ruyi's heart skipped a beat.
Upon careful consideration, it was indeed true. Xue Xian could not possibly admit defeat so easily. With his temperament and the remaining troops at his disposal, he would definitely, and had to, regroup and fight Fufeng to the death again. However, too many things had happened after last night's battle, and coupled with her rare calm, she had slept soundly in Yuwen Ye's arms all night, without having any time to think about what to do next.
Unexpectedly, Yuwen Qian, who seemed calm and collected, had already thought all these things through without making a sound.
Shang Ruyi looked at him: "Big brother..."
Yuwen Qian said, "However, Feng Chen has now received the right medicine and will recover soon, so there is no need for anyone else to interfere in the war in Fufeng."
"..."
"You will get the result you want..."
