Chapter 239 You Don’t Have to Bother with Me

General Tang was afraid that Liuli's loud shouting would scare Tang Yuli, and was about to speak to stop her when he heard a noise coming from inside the house.

He was stunned for a moment, staring at the door with surprise and anticipation.

The sound was getting closer and closer, and a light blue figure appeared behind Liuli, walking out slowly, step by step.

It was Tang Yuli.

Not much has changed since Su Rui left.

But this was only in Su Rui's opinion. In General Tang's opinion, this was already a huge change.

Ever since he brought Tang Yuli out of Fuyuan, she has been huddled behind Liuli. As long as she sees him, she becomes completely alert and acts as if she is a stranger.

As for Prince Long's Palace, it was even more so. Just by passing the street behind the palace, he would curl up and tremble uncontrollably. Therefore, he chose this house far away from Prince Long's Palace.

But the effect is just so-so.

Since entering the house, Tang Yuli has stayed in the house and has never come out. No matter what method she used, she seemed to be unable to hear any sound outside. She only ate three meals a day, went to bed on time, and got up on time. The rest of the time she just sat in front of the window and stared outside in a daze.

As soon as he stepped into the backyard and came into her sight, she would immediately shrink back and would not sit by the window for several days, and her condition would become even worse.

Fearing that it would worsen her condition, he could only stand outside the hospital and look at her, avoiding her sight.

Today was the first time she walked out of the house, and even her empty eyes seemed to have a little light, even though it was very faint, it was still surprising.

Tang Yuli slowly stepped out of the stairs, moving forward step by step, faster and faster, until he even started to jog.

Seeing her rushing towards Su Rui, Luo E was afraid that she would bump into Su Rui and wanted to stop her, but before she could reach out her hand, Tang Yuli suddenly slowed down.

He did not rush into Su Rui's arms like he did in Fu Garden, but stood in front of her, still looking at her with empty eyes. Although no emotion could be seen in his eyes, he could feel that he seemed to have thousands of words to say to Su Rui, but he could not say them.

Just as Xiaoru said, I felt like I was locked in an iron cage.

Su Rui reached out and took her hand, saying softly, "I'm back safely. I'm fine. The two little ones in my belly are fine too. They're very lively."

As she spoke, Su Rui took Tang Yuli's hand and placed it on her belly.

The two little ones in the belly were also enthusiastic and immediately stretched out their legs to high-five Tang Yuli's hands.

Tang Yuli's pupils widened in shock for a moment.

Seeing Tang Yuli's eyes light up for the first time, General Tang also became excited and stretched out his hand, calling out, "Lili."

Upon hearing the voice and noticing the presence of General Tang, Tang Yuli quickly dodged and hid beside Su Rui, and the gleam in his eyes disappeared.

General Tang's hand froze in mid-air, his eyes filled with immense hurt and self-blame. He looked at Tang Yuli as if he were looking at a treasure that he wanted to touch but was extremely afraid of breaking, not knowing what to do.

But Tang Yuli could not feel his emotions at all, and even did not recognize him.

"General Tang, can I speak to Miss Tang Er alone?"

Realizing that staying here would do no good to Tang Yuli, General Tang nodded and took a few steps back.

Su Rui took Tang Yuli's hand and led her back to the yard.

Perhaps she was familiar with the place. After entering the courtyard, she could feel that Tang Yuli relaxed a little. Su Rui did not pull her into the house, but sat down under the corridor which was sheltered from the sun and well ventilated.

"It's still up to you, Concubine, to come. These days, no matter what I say, the young lady refuses to leave the house. The imperial physician says her legs are not healed."

Liuli laughed first, then cried, and in the end her laugh was uglier than her cry.

She was really anxious during this period. Ever since Su Rui left, the young lady's condition became worse and worse. She no longer communicated with anyone and could not hear anything they said. When she was in Fu Garden, she would come to sit outside every day, but after coming to this courtyard, she would not go out all day. No matter how you coax her, talk to her, or cry, it was of no use.

She had wanted to ask Su Rui to come for a long time, but the situation was not good now, and Su Rui was about to give birth. If something happened, no one could take the responsibility. The young lady would definitely not want to see Su Rui get into trouble because of her, so she did not dare to act on her own.

Fortunately, Su Rui came by herself.

"Did the imperial physician say anything else?" Su Rui asked.

Liuli sighed helplessly, "It's still those words. They said that the young lady has a heart disease and needs to rely on herself. Since the medicine can't be taken, they stopped giving her the medicine as well."

Looking at Tang Yuli's condition, I know that there is no improvement, but I still hope for a miracle.

"Take your time. These are my homemade scented tea leaves. The yellow ones are for calming the mind. Give them to her at night to help her sleep better. The brown ones are for promoting blood circulation and menstruation. Maybe they can get her moving."

Liuli hurriedly took it and put it into her sleeve, then turned around and walked out, saying, "I'll ask the kitchen to cook. Concubine, please stay and have lunch with the young lady today."

Afraid that Su Rui would not agree, Liuli ran faster than a rabbit.

Su Rui accompanied Tang Yuli for lunch and kept talking to her. Although she didn't respond, Su Rui kept talking tirelessly. Liuli and Luo'e cooperated with her, which was quite lively.

I don’t know if Tang Yuli could understand what I said, but he ate half a bowl more than usual.

After lighting some soothing incense and watching Tang Yuli fall asleep, Su Rui gently pulled her hand out of hers.

"Thank you, Concubine." Liuli thanked Su Rui softly with tears in her eyes.

"Take good care of your young lady. If anything happens, just send someone to Prince Yong's mansion to pass on the message."

Liuli nodded and reluctantly sent Su Rui out of the hospital.

Seeing that General Tang was still standing there waiting, Liuli saluted silently and retreated.

"The general is waiting for me?" Su Rui walked forward and asked.

"Please move to the main hall, concubine." General Tang turned around and walked forward without caring whether Su Rui agreed or not.

Su Rui followed slowly behind, and when he reached the main hall, General Tang was already sitting at the top seat, and tea cups were placed on the square table to his right.

Sitting down without hesitation, Su Rui picked up the teacup and took a sip, without rushing to speak.

General Tang Zeru saw through her and asked, "Isn't your concubine coming here today just to visit my daughter?"

"I'm here to visit the General as well."

"If that's the case, there's no need for you, concubine, to bother with me." General Tang refused without hesitation.

"Hasn't the general already moved out of Prince Long's mansion? If the family splits up, it will have nothing to do with Prince Long's mansion. But the general wants to stay in the capital, so this matter is unavoidable. Could it be that the general still values ​​the Second Prince?"

When the Second Prince was mentioned, even General Tang couldn't suppress the hatred on his face.

If the other party was not the emperor's only legitimate prince and there was no solid evidence, General Tang would have taken his head long ago.

But just because he doesn't take it now doesn't mean he'll let it go.

Every time I see my daughter's expression, my resentment and guilt grow.

But that doesn't mean others can use hatred to take advantage of him.

"This general only wants to be a loyal minister. Saving Prince Yong doesn't mean anything. It's getting late, and Concubine Su is pregnant. It's better to return home early."

This is an order to expel you.

Su Rui didn't want to continue the argument. She stood up, bowed, and was about to leave. But before turning around, she reminded him, "Second Miss Tang respects you very much and never wants to disappoint you. It's just that her memory of you is too distant. Why don't you change back into the clothes you wore ten years ago and tell her more about your childhood? Perhaps she will remember you."

After saying this, Su Rui didn't care whether General Tang listened or not. She had been there anyway, and she had seen what she should have seen and said what she should have said. What happened next was their own business and Yun Ji's.
