Chapter 113 It seems we will be together through life and death
As for why all the charges were not placed on her, one reason was to expose the eldest prince's true nature and ruin his reputation, and the other was probably to give her some respect since she had successfully prevented Yun Ji from becoming a monk.
However, Yun Ji never expected that he would take advantage of this dignity and stir up public anger.
Of course, Yun Ji must have done more behind the scenes, and even had some deal with the emperor, but he didn't say it, so she didn't know.
Anyway, on the surface, it was Marquis Yong'an who died for his daughter and aroused public anger. The emperor was wise and killed his own relatives for the sake of justice and did not harm innocent people.
Although she missed this carving, it gained the reputation of a wise and benevolent monarch and the hearts of the people, which was also beneficial in the confrontation with Queen Helin.
"But since the emperor has been cuckolded, why not..."
Before she finished asking the question, Su Rui felt that she had asked a stupid question.
If the truth could be revealed, the emperor would have done it long ago. Why would he go around in circles just to get rid of a great prince?
Queen Lin dared to cuckold the emperor and steal the throne. It must be not just her, but also the Lin family behind her.
Even from the moment Empress Lin was promised to the Emperor, and even their initial acquaintance and friendship, was a plot set up by the Lin family many years ago.
For such a large-scale situation, everything must be prepared. Even if the emperor knows about it, he cannot make a fuss about it. Otherwise, with his current physical condition, he will be exposed one moment and gone the next, and the eldest prince will naturally ascend the throne.
Therefore, the emperor kept it secret and endured it again and again.
If the emperor had not been impatient and had to force Yun Ji to take that step, I am afraid he would not have told anyone about this scandal until the day of his death.
Su Rui also understood why Yun Ji was so abnormal that day, why he asked her those questions, and why he took the initiative later.
For the sake of the Great Zhao Kingdom, for the sake of his royal brother, and for the sake of the common people, he gave up his beliefs and his way.
"Are you scared?" Yun Ji asked.
Su Rui looked up at him and asked, "I said I'm not afraid, do you believe me?"
Yun Ji shook his head.
The facts are before our eyes, and no one is not afraid.
After Su Rui learned about this royal secret, she was completely tied to Yun Ji and had to face Queen Lin, the Lin family, and even more powerful families.
Once you lose the fight, there is no recovery.
"I'm afraid, but I have no choice. I'm already yours." Su Rui leaned pitifully on Yun Ji's arm, resting her chin on his shoulder and said, "It seems like we'll be together through life and death."
He and she are together through life and death.
Looking at Su Rui's aggrieved look and pouting lips, Yun Ji's Adam's apple rolled even though he knew she was pretending.
He quickly turned his head and said in a low voice, "After we take it back and everything is stable, if you want to leave, I can divorce you and grant you freedom."
Yun Ji didn't need to say this, Su Rui also planned this.
Putting aside other things, if she wants to survive and achieve her unfulfilled goals, she must be tied to Yun Ji.
It is inevitable to fight with Queen Lin and the Lin family, and it is deserved.
If the result is worse than in her previous life and she loses, she will run away early.
If the ending is the same as in her previous life, once Yun Ji secures his position and her goal is achieved, she will naturally fly away and live a comfortable life.
She had never thought about it at first, but after experiencing life and death again, she wanted to live again.
But Yun Ji saw that she didn't answer and thought she was unwilling.
The emotions in his heart quietly spread. If she didn't want to leave, he wouldn't drive her away. The two of them would just be like this now, and...
"However, as soon as the eldest prince died, the queen and the Lin family knew the emperor's plan, but we don't have any power at our disposal." Su Rui suddenly remembered.
Although Yun Ji has now returned to secular life and been granted the title of Prince Yong, his official position is still undecided and he has no real power. How can he fight against Queen Lin and the Lin family?
"Military power! Tang Yuli!" Su Rui looked up in surprise, "You must marry Tang Yuli! And as soon as possible!"
The emotion that had just spread in Yun Ji's heart quickly dissipated, and a trace of displeasure and annoyance appeared. He said in a deep voice: "This matter should not drag innocent people into it."
"She's innocent? Then am I not innocent?" Su Rui blinked. How could they be treated differently?
Yun Ji turned around and didn't respond, just looked at her, his clear eyes like a mirror.
Su Rui smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes, I'm not innocent. I came here for an equal exchange with a purpose."
As Yun Ji said, you reap what you sow. If you sow the seeds, you will reap the fruits.
But she didn't want Yunji to completely gain the upper hand, so she reached out and put her arms around Yunji's neck, her lips almost touching his chin as she said, "Don't worry, I will definitely be a good wife for you this time, Yunji."
Her breath was as fragrant as orchid, making Yun Ji's earlobes red.
Pushing her away and standing up, Yun Ji turned around to cover up his panic and said calmly: "Let's go back to the city."
Su Rui curled her lips in satisfaction, then stood up and followed him as if nothing had happened.
…
The news of Su Rui's release was announced long before she left the prison.
Marquis Yong'an, who learned the news earlier than everyone else, was not happy but rather terrified.
That day, the emperor summoned him into the palace. The emperor did not ask him a single question. He just made him kneel in the outer hall of the Yangxin Palace for two hours and then let him go.
He felt that this matter was strange at that time.
He was forcing the emperor to do so. Even though Yun Ji said he would not be punished, he went there with the intention of dying.
In the end, he was just let go.
He dared not speak, and was afraid that others would find out his flaws, so he could only hide in the house and not go out. Even when the old lady came, he would not see her, and let her cry and scold him outside the door for being brainless and having had enough of life.
And Su Rui's release today further deepened Yong'an Hou's fear.
After years of ups and downs in officialdom, even though the emperor's mind is unpredictable, he also understands that people are different.
Not to mention that Su Rui was once a military slave, even if she still sat on the position of the legitimate daughter of the Yong'an Marquis, she could not be compared with the eldest prince.
How could he be released?
Yun Ji didn't know what method he used, but it must be unfathomable and full of undercurrents.
And after the previous incident, he was tied to Yun Ji and Su Rui.
But considering Su Rui's attitude towards him, will Yun Ji reuse him?
Even if he is reused, Yun Ji only has the title of prince, and the real power is not yet vested. The depth of the power is unknown. Can he step in?
Marquis Yong'an didn't know what to do.
Just when I was feeling worried, I heard the sound of smashing and destroying things.
"What's going on again?" he asked impatiently, opening the door.
"It was the Second Young Lady who smashed the things sent from Prince Long's Mansion in the front yard." The attendant replied in a low voice.
One or two, both are troublesome!
Marquis Yong'an strode angrily to the front yard, where the ground was already a mess.
All five boxes sent from Prince Long's Mansion were opened, and Zhou Yao was holding a porcelain bottle and was about to throw it to the ground.
"Don't stop yet!"
Zhou Yao shuddered with fear after hearing the angry shout. She looked up and saw that it was the Marquis of Yong'an. After a pause, she finally threw the porcelain bottle in her hand and cried aggrievedly, "I can't even throw a few bottles. Father, don't you see what rubbish the Prince Long's Mansion sent us?"
