Why My Domineering Prince Regretted Filing for Divorce?

Chapter 1067 - 769: Are You Feeling Uncomfortable?

Seeing her like a cat with its fur standing on end, Yu Wenye laughed and, using a bit of strength, pulled her back onto the bed, saying, "Don’t worry, it’s nothing serious."Shang Ruyi had already woken up by then and glared at him immediately.

Shen Tu Tai was leading the troops on an expedition. Everyone knows there is no such thing as a small matter in military affairs. Moreover, this time, he was attacking the Song State clearly in preparation for King Qin’s future assault on the Eastern Capital Luoyang. The stakes involved were self-evident and could not be taken lightly. Furthermore, upon hearing that Yu Wencheng was causing trouble, Shang Ruyi became nervous.

How could it be a small matter?

Seeing her with a look of inevitability, as if even if she couldn’t do anything, she must be informed, Yu Wenye chuckled, leaned against the bedhead, and embraced her tighter, saying, "It’s really not a big deal. If it were anyone else causing trouble, Shen Tu Tai wouldn’t even need to write me a letter. It’s just because it’s the third brother—"

Saying this, his eyes turned cold.

This time Shen Tu Tai led the troops on the expedition, and Yu Wenye had fought for him to have significant power, ensuring he would not be under the control of Chang An. He didn’t even assign a supervisor to the army—of course, Yu Wencheng being present was the greatest "supervision." However, ever since the battle of Cangbai Mountain, where Shen Tu Tai, to save Shantong’er, forcibly snatched away the weapon from the blood-thirsty Yu Wencheng, this shocking action left Yu Wencheng utterly terrified. Even when Yu Wencheng later met Shen Tu Tai, although he put on the airs of King Qi outwardly, Yu Wenye was well aware that he harbored a natural fear of Shen Tu Tai.

Yu Wenye recommended Shen Tu Tai to lead the expedition to the Song State, anticipating that Yu Wenquan, aiming to erase the shame of King Qi losing Taiyuan, would ensure he took credit in the upcoming conflicts and certainly send him on the campaign, hence he chose Shen Tu Tai.

Unexpectedly, even before the battle began, Yu Wencheng caused trouble.

Shang Ruyi asked, "What on earth happened?"

Yu Wenye exhaled deeply and said, "On the march, Yan Jie suddenly proposed to split the troops and head to reinforce the Xingluo Granary before encircling the Song State with Shen Tu Tai."

Upon hearing this, Shang Ruyi furrowed her brows.

First of all, having experienced the battle of Xingluo Granary, she knew that the place was easy to defend but hard to attack. It had proven its sturdiness since even though Liang Shide occupied Luoyang for such a long time, he couldn’t take it down. Plus, those Yu Wenye left there, like Yan Buuai, who had followed him through thick and thin, were of extraordinary resolve. If they were truly needed to dispatch troops, a single command would suffice; there was no need to split the forces for such tasks.

Furthermore, their purpose this trip was to attack the Song and Xu States, and they should be focused on capturing them in one fell swoop. Yu Wencheng splitting the troops could lead to unforeseen complications.

In military affairs, there is no room for the slightest error.

Shang Ruyi couldn’t help but angrily say, "This is truly nonsense!"

After cursing, she looked at Yu Wenye, her eyes flickering with unusual emotions, softly asking, "So, how will you handle it?"

Yu Wenye replied, "I wrote to Shen Tu Tai, telling him not to heed King Qi’s suggestion and to proceed with attacking the Song State as planned. If any issues arise, I will shoulder them in front of the emperor. Moreover, I have also sent a letter to Yan Buuai, instructing him to continue fortifying Xingluo Granary and not to be controlled by anyone other than my orders."

Having said that, he looked down at the Shang Ruyi in his arms, smiled, and said, "It’s not a big deal, you don’t have to worry."

As he spoke, his warm breath brushed against Shang Ruyi’s cheek, causing her slightly disheveled hair to flutter, tickling her ears and cheek with a tingling sensation. Shang Ruyi couldn’t help shrinking her neck and looked up at him again.

Yu Wenye asked, "What’s the matter?"

Shang Ruyi was silent for a moment, then softly said, "I thought... you’d go."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Wenye slightly raised an eyebrow. Seeing the sparkle in her eyes, which clearly showed some lingering fear, his smile deepened. He reached out, smoothing her stray hair behind her ear as he slowly said, "I said I would accompany you, and of course, I won’t go back on my word. This is our first child, and no matter what, I want to be there for his birth."

The fleeting chill before sleep, and the insignificant daytime squabbles between the two had, at that moment, seemingly dissipated like smoke.

Shang Ruyi only felt a warm feeling in her chest and burrowed deeper into his embrace.
