Why My Domineering Prince Regretted Filing for Divorce?-Chapter 592 - 484: He, Can’t See Through Her_2
The crowd was somewhat puzzled, frowning deeply and lost in thought, while He Wenzhu, unaware of the reason, simply smiled and said, "Fortunately, the Great General’s illness is of no concern. I’ll write a prescription here, please have the General take it daily as instructed. As long as he rests quietly for a while longer, avoiding anger and fighting, he will naturally recover as before."
Hearing this, Shang Ruyi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then she said, "Thank you for your trouble, getting up in the middle of the night. She’er, escort the old gentleman back to rest."
He Wenzhu then gave her a salute, nodded to the people around, and packed up his medicine box to leave with Tushere; once he was gone, Shang Ruyi turned back to Mu Xiancheng Bridge and the others, saying, "Alright, you’ve been busy all night, go back and rest."
Mu Xian, still somewhat worried, said, "Young Madam, the Great General—"
Shang Ruyi said, "I’m here to take care of him, aren’t you all assured?"
Everyone shook their heads. After all, even if they stayed, they wouldn’t be more attentive and thorough than Shang Ruyi, so they took a look at Yu Wenye, still unconscious on the bed, and then dispersed.
Wo Xue also took the prescription left by He Wenzhu and went to prepare the medicine.
The room was once again left with just the two of them.
Shang Ruyi was originally sitting on a stool; once everyone left, she got up, kneeled by the bed, and laid her head on her arms so she could see Yu Wenye’s peaceful sleeping face.
Perhaps because he was still unconscious, he slept very quietly, his eyes tightly closed, lips lightly pursed, his whole body exhibiting a rare sense of relaxation.
Why would someone like him become angry?
Angry enough to spit blood on the battlefield?
Was it related to her?
Shang Ruyi couldn’t help but recall at the city gate, the last look he gave her, then immediately turned his gaze away, with the same expressionless face, yet exuding a chilling indifference that left her at a loss.
Was it her illusion at that moment?
Or—
After a whole night of chaos, even though she hadn’t been on the battlefield, Shang Ruyi was already exhausted, her eyelids heavy as if something was pressing them down, yet she forced herself to stay awake, caught between falling into a daze and insisting on staying by his side, as if two people were fighting inside her.
After several struggles, she finally slowly closed her eyes.
The sun, however, disregarded everyone’s exhaustion and rose once more on the horizon. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
The sunlight streamed in through the window, casting shadows that slowly moved across the floor, rendering the silent room even more peaceful.
At last, in the quietness, the person on the bed opened his eyes.
Having been unconscious and then asleep for most of the day, upon opening his eyes, he was still dazed and unsure of his surroundings, when he felt a familiar, gentle presence brushing past his ear.
Yu Wenye instinctively turned his head and saw the person before him.
It was Shang Ruyi.
Upon seeing her, an indescribable feeling arose in Yu Wenye’s heart, as if the soul that had been floating in the hazy dreams all night had finally settled.
He couldn’t help but hold his breath, turned over, and looked at her quietly.
Shang Ruyi was sound asleep at the bedside, yet even so, she did not sleep restfully, her brows slightly furrowed, lips gently moving as if murmuring something troubling her even in her dreams.
Furthermore, her face seemed a bit pale.
Despite Yu Wenye’s illness causing unrest throughout Fufeng, it was not only the patient who was tormented, but also those who worried for him. At this moment, seeing her, her cheeks had thinned notably, her expression full of fatigue, her sleeping face exuding a pitiful demeanor.
Looking at her, Yu Wenye couldn’t help but purse his lips, and just as he revealed a tender smile, he saw her little lips move slightly, murmuring, "Feng Chen..."
Was she talking in her sleep?
"Hmm."
Yu Wenye couldn’t help but respond.
And Shang Ruyi did not seem to sense anything—after all, she seemed to remain in her dream, and upon receiving this response, she was lost again briefly, then murmured, "Have I done something wrong?"
"...!"
Yu Wenye immediately felt a pang in his chest.
Shang Ruyi still sensed it?
Though he had done nothing, it was only while watching her that hesitation arose in his heart, and even at the last moment, he avoided her gaze, yet sensitive as she was, she still sensed it.
And this caused her distress even in her dreams, compelled to question him therein.
Yu Wenye couldn’t help but furrow his brow—what was he doing?
Was it still about what Xue Xian had said during yesterday’s fierce battle?
He hadn’t sought verification of those words from anyone, if they were false, it would only prove his pettiness; if true—
If true, then what?
Even if he had never understood his elder brother who was devoted to cultivation yet suddenly returned to the Yuwen Family with an unparalleled demeanor of the Heir of Duke Sheng, surely, he could see through his wife?
Thinking this, a heavy feeling settled over his heart once again.
Yes, he couldn’t see through her.
Even now, when they are emotionally connected, united both in sentiment and body, fully husband and wife, he knew there were still aspects of Shang Ruyi he hadn’t understood.
"You really surprise me"—these words were what he often said during their newlywed days whenever she astonished him.
And even now, this sentence remained his inner voice when facing his wife many times.
He couldn’t see through her.
But what if he couldn’t?
These days, Shang Ruyi had stayed by his side, going through hell and high water; this shared experience of life and death was not enough to give him the answer?
Could he still not trust her?
