Chapter 109 I won’t help you

Seeing Su Rui smile, Yun Ji clenched his hands tighter in his wide sleeves.

"I was planning to have people from Fozhuang come to the palace to work. Ruirui's mother is a good cook, so she can be a cook. The old village chief is smart, so she can definitely be a housekeeper. Ruirui needs to go to school, so the prince will make the arrangements. As for the others, leave it to the old village chief to take care of the arrangements."

"As for the housekeeper, if the prince doesn't plan to marry for a while, then go to the palace and ask for a housekeeper."

"I haven't left much behind these days. If His Majesty finds them annoying, then deal with them. If not, then leave them. Who knows, my soul might follow these things and linger in the palace."

The more Su Rui spoke, the more moist her eyes became.

It was obvious that she just wanted to tell Yun Ji what needed to be told.

But the more she talked, the more uncomfortable she felt.

This discomfort is probably due to previous fantasies.

Without hope there would be no disappointment; without imagining the future, it would not be so painful when you lose everything.

She was just one step away, as if just that one step away, and she would be able to step into the light.

It's a pity that she is ultimately a ghost living in the dark.

It's a pity that only Zhou Yao was brought down, while Liang is still sitting comfortably in the position of the wife of the Marquis of Yong'an.

"Oh, and please keep my Chaoyang Courtyard and my silver safe for me, Your Highness, and make sure they don't fall into the hands of others."

Her things must never be touched by the Yong'an Marquis Mansion and the Liang family again.

It would be better to give it to Yunji to help him in his great cause. With Yunji's compassionate nature, he would definitely arrange everything for her after her death.

"I forgot. Also, after I die, Your Majesty, please recite less sutras when you pray for my soul. It gives me a headache. I won't be able to walk fast on the road to the underworld, and the little ghosts will catch me."

"Su Rui." Yun Ji called her, staring into her eyes that dared not look him in the eye and asked, "Are you willing?"

Willing?

Of course she was unwilling!

She hadn't achieved her goal yet, and she hadn't even stepped into the future she had just arrived at, but she was about to die again. How could she be willing to accept this?

But what if I am unwilling?

The person she killed was not someone else, but the eldest son of the current emperor and empress.

It's a dead end, there's no chance, no way out.

"It's a fait accompli. Whether you're willing or not, it's the same." Su Rui smiled bitterly, raised her eyes, and stretched out her hand through the prison door. Her fingertips slid from Yun Ji's collarbone to his chest, and she teased, "But there's one thing I'm willing to accept. At least the prince served me very well that day. It was very comfortable."

Even though she couldn't tell the difference when she was drowsy, the soreness and swelling she felt when she woke up was enough to explain everything.

The drug is very powerful and there is no way to reverse it except by taking action.

Yun Ji sacrificed himself to save her.

"This time it was the prince who took the initiative, so it's not my fault. I didn't break my promise."

Having said that, Su Rui was about to withdraw her hand.

Yun Ji suddenly raised his hand and held her hand in his big hand with some force.

"I won't pray for your salvation." Yun Ji's eyes were determined, and it seemed as if thousands of rivers were flowing under them. "You won't die."

In the current situation, how could she not die?

But seeing Yun Ji's persistence, he couldn't bear to say those words anymore. He put away the fake smile on his face and paused, "That day, I smelled a fragrance on the eldest prince. It wasn't from the Great Zhao, but rather from a foreign land. Moreover, since the eldest prince was in the private courtyard, it's impossible for him to open his heart to me and reveal everything if it wasn't his fault."

Although, Su Rui felt that it was useless to say this.

Even if the crimes of the eldest prince were exposed, even if both of them were drugged, she was the one who drugged him, and he was either confused or controlled. The person who could do this must be difficult to touch and have all-powerful connections.

In this case, any evidence presented is useless.

I just said it out loud to make Yun Ji feel better.

"Your Highness, the time has come." The jailer stepped forward to remind him.

Unable to stay for long, Yun Ji could only let go of his hand and whispered, "Wait for me."

"Okay, I'll wait for the prince to come and rescue me." Su Rui put on a flattering smile, as usual.

…

Yong'an Marquis Mansion, Qingfeng Pavilion.

Su Ye was lying on the bed, sweating profusely, his hands tightly grasping the quilt, his head shaking constantly, and muttering to himself.

"No! No! Not me!"

Su Ye opened his eyes with a scream, gasping for breath, and realized that he was having a nightmare again.

But when he looked at the closed door in horror, he was still afraid.

He was afraid that the Yulin Army would rush in.

I was afraid that the countless arrows would turn me into a hedgehog.

He was even more afraid of being arrested and taken to the Dali Temple, tortured, exposed to the public, and beheaded.

But at first he just wanted to block Su Rui's path to becoming Prince Yong's concubine, so how did it turn out that Su Rui killed the eldest prince?

And he was the one who led the Yulin Army

Fortunately, he just followed the instructions of the Second Young Master Zhang and said that he found Su Rui sneaking into the yard and trying to do something inappropriate to the eldest prince, so he was not arrested and taken to the Dali Temple.

But how long can this be kept secret?

As long as Su Rui wakes up and admits that he is talking nonsense, the Dali Temple will definitely investigate.

He went to look for Zhang Ershao, the man who took Su Rui away, that same day, but he found her dead on the flower boat.

He had no idea who he was using, where they were, or whether he had been caught. He had no one to ask, so he could only stay at home in fear and unable to sleep every day. Even when he closed his eyes, he had nightmares.

"Brother, what's wrong with you lately? Are you feeling unwell?"

Zhou Yao pushed open the door from the outside and was shocked to see Su Ye lying on the bed with dark circles under his eyes, thin cheeks, and a mouth full of stubble.

It was Su Ye's followers who came to see her and said that Su Ye had locked himself in the room since Su Rui was arrested and taken to the Dali Temple. He had no appetite and kept yelling from time to time, and he didn't allow anyone to enter.

They were worried that something might happen to him and that they, the servants, would be blamed, so they asked her to persuade him.

She felt that Su Ye couldn't have such deep feelings for Su Rui, and thought there must be a problem, so she came to take a look.

But I didn't expect Su Ye to become like this, which made me more certain that there must be something wrong.

"Brother, why are you like this? Is it because of my sister? Oh, my sister is really in big trouble this time. Someone gave Dad a message this morning, saying that the matter is almost settled."

Upon hearing that it was settled, Su Ye immediately sat up and asked anxiously, "It's settled? How was it settled? How did you say it?"

Seeing his reaction, Zhou Yao deliberately didn't rush to answer. She walked over and sat down on the round stool beside the bed, whispering, "They say they've probably figured it out. The eldest prince is a pervert, often capturing young women and skinning them alive. He wanted to do the same to Su Rui, drugging her and intending to rape and torture her. But Xier arrived just in time, and during the struggle, Su Rui killed the eldest prince."

How did the medicine become the one given to Su Rui by the eldest prince?

Su Ye didn't understand.

Could it be that Su Rui didn't argue and accepted it?

Why?

"But this matter is a bit strange. Why did His Highness give my sister medicine? What do you think, brother?"

Before Su Ye could figure it out, Zhou Yao asked impatiently.

"Pah!"

Before she could get the answer she wanted, Zhou Yao was slapped hard by Su Ye.
