Chapter 142 He was angry when she gave herself to someone else
In the side hall.
Su Rui sat at the dinner table, yawning and trying to stay awake.
On normal days, she would have gone to bed at this time, but today Yun Ji was coming back for lunch, so she had no choice but to stay awake.
I was hoping that Yun Ji would come back soon, eat quickly, and leave quickly so that I could lie down and have a good sleep.
"Your Majesty."
Hearing the sound of greetings outside, Su Ruiru saw hope and immediately opened her eyes.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I felt something was wrong.
Yun Ji is wrong.
He walked over quickly, and although he still looked the same as usual, Su Rui could feel that something was wrong with him.
When the man came closer, Su Rui saw the brocade box in his hand.
My heart suddenly skipped a beat.
It's broken, it's been discovered!
How did it end up in his hands? Was it sent by Tang Yuli?
Instead of sending it to your house, send it to Yunji?
Harming her!
With nowhere to escape, Su Rui could only pretend not to see anything. When Yun Ji entered, she changed the subject and said, "Your Highness, you're finally back. I've been waiting so long that my stomach is growling. The food is getting cold. Hurry and start eating."
"No rush." Yun Ji walked forward coldly and placed the brocade box in his hand on the table.
I don’t know if it’s because the quality of the brocade box is too poor or Yun Ji used too much force, but there are fingerprints on it.
"What is this?" Yun Ji's voice was low and cold, making people tremble with fear.
Luo E realized that something was wrong and immediately led the others out.
Su Rui saw that she couldn't fool him anymore, so she pursed her lips and said, "A return gift for Miss Tang Er."
"What did you reply?"
Su Rui felt the surroundings getting even colder. She shivered and didn't dare look at Yun Ji. "Handkerchief."
"What's that embroidered?"
Su Rui took a deep breath and said, "Mandarin ducks playing in the water."
Yun Ji laughed angrily.
She answered questions fluently.
"Su Rui." Yun Ji called her, stepped forward, stood in front of her, and looked down at her. "Do you know what this return gift means? You deliberately hid this from me, why?"
Why?
What else could it be for?
Su Rui was already very sleepy and in a bad mood. Yun Ji asked her questions again and again, like he was interrogating a criminal, which made her even more unhappy.
She raised her head, looked him straight in the face, and said impatiently, "Of course it's for you, Your Highness. Yes, you are compassionate and you won't let innocent people go to hell, but you have to understand that you are now Prince Yong. You are fighting against Empress Lin and the Lin family for your imprisoned brother and for your Zhao family's kingdom. You have no one behind you, so how can you fight? What do you have to fight with? Do you still think you are Mr. Yunji, the ascetic monk waiting to be ordained in the Fahua Temple?"
Her words came out faster than her brain, and Su Rui regretted it a little after she finished speaking.
My words were too harsh.
But when he got angry, he still stood still and refused to give in.
Yun Ji looked at her, his eyes filled with emotion, and the corners of his eyes turned slightly red.
He took a step closer, "So, you took it upon yourself to sell me to Miss Tang Er?"
"What do you mean by selling or not? It's so harsh to say that." Although this is the fact, isn't Tang Yuli unwilling to do so?
"Miss Tang Er was the late emperor's choice for Prince Yong's consort, and so was the emperor. This shows that Prince Long's lineage is your best support right now, and the only force capable of opposing the Lin family. No matter from which perspective, Miss Tang Er is your best choice for a consort."
Having said that, Su Rui gradually calmed down and sat down in the position of a collaborator to analyze the pros and cons.
"Besides, Prince Long had this intention from the beginning, and Miss Tang Er has known about it since she arrived in Beijing. How can she claim to be innocent?"
"Your Highness, you and I are on the same page. Although some of these words may be harsh, I still have to say them. Times are different now. Your kindness will only harm us. Now that we have embarked on this path, we must make choices. Besides, you have already made the first choice. As for me, since you have chosen me to sit in the position of concubine, I should do what I should do. Even if I do it secretly from you, I don't think it is wrong."
Seeing that she spoke so clearly and calmly, Yun Ji felt more and more depressed and uncomfortable, as if he was being suppressed by something.
He stammered and asked hoarsely, "So, you're completely taking advantage of me."
"What else?" Su Rui looked up and asked.
She didn't understand. This was how things were between them. If she wasn't considering it from the perspective of exploitation, then what was it?
"Besides, didn't His Majesty say it yourself? You are devoted to Buddhism. If that's the case, wouldn't it make any difference who you marry? Why are you questioning me about this?"
What Yun Ji was about to say was choked back by Su Rui's words.
yes.
Why did he question Su Rui?
Why are you angry?
But when he knew Su Rui's intention in giving this thing to Tang Yuli, he became furious and just wanted to ask her for an answer.
He was angry that she had given herself to someone else.
Even what he was about to blurt out was...
He's messed up again!
Yun Ji turned around and strode out.
Luo E, who was guarding the corridor in the distance, saw Yun Ji walking away so quickly and hurried back.
Entering the room, Su Rui saw the dishes on the table untouched. Her expression remained unchanged. She asked quietly, "What happened between the concubine and the prince?"
"God knows what's wrong with him." Su Rui picked up the chopsticks and started eating in a bad mood, venting all her frustration on eating.
I kept cursing Yun Ji in my heart, calling him mentally ill.
It must be that his brain has been damaged after practicing Buddhism. In the past, he would feel bad after coming back from a trip to the palace, but now he feels bad whenever he comes back from a trip out.
One moment she was in a rush and came back for dinner on time, but the next moment he scolded her as if she had done something unforgivable.
He acted like a rare treasure that could not be touched. It was obvious that even if he married Tang Yuli, he would be the one who benefited, both in terms of interests and gender.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Su Rui bit harder and harder, as if it was Yun Ji in her mouth and she wanted to chew him to pieces.
Seeing this, Luo E had to swallow back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
By then, Yunji had also been re-established.
He took out the jade pendant with a heart knot from his arms, his expression complicated and puzzled.
Just as he didn't know why he brought the jade pendant with him in the first place.
I knew I shouldn't do it, but I still did it.
Why?
Every word Su Rui said made sense.
He understands, he understands everything.
But when Su Rui mentioned this matter, he resisted. The so-called innocent people were just an excuse at the time.
As for what I am resisting, I have never thought about it and will never think about it.
Choose to escape.
The guilt between him and Su Rui was just something he said with his mouth. Now, for some reason, it became hazy and confused, like a puddle of paste.
It's time to separate them.
Yun Ji stretched out his hand and wanted to hand the jade pendant to the doorman.
But the moment the doorman reached out his hand, he tightened his hand again, pulled the reins, and walked away.
He returned to Yanzhou first to calm down and sort things out.
