Chapter 484 He Can't See Through Her
"Feng Chen!"
Shang Ruyi rushed to Yuwen Ye's side. His face was deathly pale, and his lips were completely bloodless. Although he was still on horseback, his tall body was swaying and looked like he was about to fall off!
"General!"
"Second Young Master!"
In an instant, everyone rushed up to protect him, even the city guards surrounded him. For a moment, the entire city gate was in chaos, with Yuwen Ye all around him.
After a long while, Yuwen Ye gritted his teeth and slowly raised his eyes to look at the people around him.
The most anxious one was naturally the slender and gentle woman, whose eyes were now red with worry. Shang Ruyi looked at him with great fear, as if afraid that something else might happen to him. Her voice trembled as she asked, "Fengchen, Fengchen, are you alright?"
"..."
Yuwen Ye paused for a moment before gently shaking his head.
However, he no longer had the strength to speak and answer, so as to reassure those around him.
After all, although he was in a superior position in this battle, he was personally exhausted. In particular, hearing Xue Xian's words added a huge weight to his already weak heart.
Yuwen Ye silently shifted his gaze away from that frightened little face.
"Take me back."
"...!"
Shang Ruyi's heart sank suddenly.
At that moment, everyone around was focused on Yuwen Ye and didn't notice anything amiss. Upon hearing his words, they quickly and efficiently helped him down from the horse, and then someone rushed to bring the carriage. Thus, the group escorted the carriage and hurried towards the government office.
By the time they returned to the government office, it was almost dawn.
Normally, people would be getting up by this time, but Yuwen Ye had barely been put to bed when they immediately summoned He Wenzhu, who was still recuperating at the government office. Upon hearing that the General had once again gone to the battlefield despite his still-unrecovered illness, and had even vomited blood during his battle with Xue Xian, He Wenzhu was terrified. He rushed over to give Yuwen Ye medicine and acupuncture, working tirelessly until dawn.
Finally, the patient's breathing returned to normal.
Seeing that Yuwen Ye's face wasn't so pale anymore, Shang Ruyi still didn't dare to relax. She nervously looked at He Wenzhu, who was pulling the last silver needle out of Yuwen Ye's chest, and whispered, "Old sir, his body—"
He Wenzhu said, "Please rest assured, Madam."
"..."
"General, you really shouldn't have gone into battle before you were fully recovered from your illness. If you had been injured, I'm afraid you would never be able to fight again."
Upon hearing "no more violence is allowed in the future," everyone in the room was shocked.
Mu Xian immediately stepped forward: "Then he—"
He Wenzhu hurriedly said, "However, based on my examination, the General should be fine. This fainting spell was due to exhaustion. As long as he rests well and takes his medicine on time, he will naturally recover."
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Shang Ruyi's tightly furrowed brows could not be relaxed. She looked at Yuwen Ye's tightly pursed lips. Although those marks had long been wiped clean by this time, she clearly remembered that Yuwen Ye had vomited blood when he fought Xue Xian!
So she immediately said, "But he just vomited blood!"
He Wenzhu calmly said, "The general has no external injuries. Judging from his pulse just now, the general's vomiting of blood should not be related to his previous illness."
"It's not related? That's—"
"His vomiting blood seemed to be caused by extreme anger."
"anger?"
Shang Ruyi frowned again. Not only her, but Mu Xian and Cheng Qiao also showed surprised expressions. They looked at each other and then subconsciously shook their heads.
Does Yuwen Ye get angry on the battlefield?
However, he was always the calmest and most self-possessed person.
It's common for generals to exchange profanities when facing each other in battle. Insults like "I'll be your mother" or "I'll be your father" are considered polite; the purpose is to provoke the enemy, make them agitated, and thus make it easier to find their weaknesses to attack. At the start of this battle, Xue Xian constantly praised Shang Ruyi and ridiculed the generals of Fufeng for their incompetence, claiming they had only managed to win because of women—this was precisely the reason.
But Yuwen Ye didn't get angry at all. In fact, judging from his attitude, he even had some appreciation for Shang Ruyi's decision to take the field.
Therefore, his sarcastic remark only angered Xue Xian.
If he doesn't even care about this, what can Xue Xian say or do to anger him?
Everyone was puzzled and frowned in thought. He Wenzhu, however, did not understand why, but smiled and said, "Fortunately, the general's illness is no longer a problem. I will write down a prescription here, and please take it on time every day. As long as he rests for a while and does not get angry or violent, he will naturally recover to normal."
Hearing this, Shang Ruyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
So he said, "I'm sorry to trouble you, making you get up in the middle of the night. She'er, take the old man back to rest."
He Wenzhu bowed to her, nodded to the people around him, packed up his medicine box, and followed Tu She'er downstairs. After he left, Shang Ruyi turned back to Mu Xianchengqiao and the others and said, "Alright, you've been busy all night, go back and rest."
Mu Xian said with some concern, "Young Madam, the General—"
Shang Ruyi said, "Aren't you worried about me taking care of him here?"
Everyone shook their heads. After all, even if they stayed here, they wouldn't be as attentive and thoughtful as Shang Ruyi. So, after glancing at Yuwen Ye, who was still unconscious on the bed, they all dispersed.
Meanwhile, Wo Xue took the prescription that He Wenzhu had just left behind and went downstairs to brew the medicine.
Only two people remained in the room.
Shang Ruyi was originally sitting on a stool. After everyone left, she got up, walked to the bedside, knelt down, and rested her head on her arm so that she could see Yuwen Ye's peaceful sleeping face.
Perhaps because he was still unconscious, he slept very peacefully, his eyes closed, his lips slightly pursed, and he exuded a rare sense of relaxation.
Why would someone like him get angry?
He was so enraged that he vomited blood on the battlefield.
Is it related to me?
Shang Ruyi couldn't help but recall the last time he looked at her at the city gate, before immediately looking away with the same expressionless face, yet exuding a chilling aura that left her bewildered.
Was it just my imagination at that moment?
still--
After a whole night of chaos, even without going to the battlefield, Shang Ruyi was exhausted. Her eyelids felt so heavy, as if someone was pressing them down. But she still forced herself to stay awake, her consciousness drifting into a hazy state while she insisted on staying by his side, as if two people were fighting inside her body.
After struggling several times, she finally slowly closed her eyes.
Despite everyone's exhaustion, the sun rose once again above the horizon.
Sunlight streamed in through the window, casting long shadows on the floor, making the already silent room even more tranquil.
Finally, in the silence, the person on the bed opened their eyes.
Because he had been unconscious and slept for most of the day, when he opened his eyes, he was still confused and didn't know where he was. But just as he was feeling lost, he felt a familiar, warm breath brushing past his ear.
Yuwen Ye subconsciously turned his head and saw the person in front of him.
It is Shang Ruyi.
Upon seeing him, Yuwen Ye felt an indescribable sensation, as if his soul, which had been suspended in a chaotic dream all night, had finally settled down.
He couldn't help but hold his breath, turn over, and quietly look at her.
Shang Ruyi was fast asleep, lying on the edge of the bed. But even so, her sleep was not peaceful. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and her slightly upturned lips kept moving, as if she was muttering something that was making her very worried in her dreams.
Moreover, her face was somewhat pale.
Speaking of which, although Yuwen Ye's illness has caused unease throughout Fufeng these past few days, it's not just the patient who is suffering; there are also those who are worried about him. Looking at her now, her cheeks have become much thinner, and her expression is full of haggardness. Even though she is asleep, her sleeping face exudes a pitiful charm.
Looking at her, Yuwen Ye couldn't help but purse his lips. Just as a doting smile appeared on his face, he saw her small mouth move slightly as she murmured, "Feng Chen..."
Is she talking in her sleep?
"Um."
Yuwen Ye agreed without thinking.
Shang Ruyi didn't sense anything—after all, her consciousness seemed to still be in a dream. After receiving this response, she was confused for a while, and then said, "Did I...do something wrong?"
"...!"
Yuwen Ye immediately felt a tightness in his chest.
Did Shang Ruyi sense it?
Although he hadn't done anything, he hesitated when looking at her, and even avoided her gaze at the last moment, but she, being so sensitive, still sensed it.
This made her uneasy even in her dreams, and she could only ask him questions in her dreams.
Yuwen Ye couldn't help but frown—what was he doing?
Are you still bothered by what Xue Xian said to him during yesterday's fierce battle?
He didn't bother to verify the truth of those words with anyone; if they were false, it would only prove his petty nature; if they were true—
If it's true, so what?
Even if he had never seen through his elder brother, who was focused on cultivation but suddenly returned to the Yuwen family as the unparalleled heir of the Duke of Sheng, could he not see through his wife?
Thinking about it this way, he couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart.
Yes, I can't see through it.
Even now, even though the two of them are deeply in love and are completely husband and wife, both emotionally and physically, he understands that there are still some aspects of Shang Ruyi that he hasn't seen through.
"You really surprised me"—this was a phrase he would say to her whenever she was surprised during their honeymoon.
Even now, this is still what he feels when he talks to his wife.
He couldn't see through her.
So what if you can't see through it?
These days, Shang Ruyi has stayed by his side, braving dangers and dangers. Isn't such life-and-death companionship enough to tell him the answer?
Can't he still trust her?
