Although that night, Yu Wenye's words were full of threats, scaring Shang Ruyi into being apprehensive the next day, he did not come to trouble her.
After all, a great war had ended, and he and the Crown Prince were commanders leading troops on different fronts. Upon returning to the court, there were too many follow-up affairs that needed to be handled; moreover, he had to soothe the hearts of his own supporters who were unsettled after Yu Wenqian was conferred the title of Crown Prince. Therefore, for several consecutive days, he left before dawn and often returned deep into the night.
By that time, Shang Ruyi was already asleep.
Seeing her peaceful sleeping face, Yu Wenye couldn't bear to wake her. He gently drew her into his embrace and kissed the flower-scented strands of her hair, then fell asleep.
Thus, half a month passed.
