Chapter 158 Should I choose myself or Yun Ji?
As soon as Prince Long opened his mouth, the entire hall fell silent.
This is to take action against Su Rui.
Everyone held their breath, fearing that any sound would implicate themselves.
Su Rui was nervous but also a little relieved.
Prince Long is willing to speak, which means he is giving her a chance, even if what awaits her may be torture worse than death.
But, there is no way out.
"Of course." Su Rui replied, appearing well-behaved for once.
Everyone exchanged glances and realized that, as expected, no matter how fierce a cat is, it will still have to lie down when it encounters a real tiger.
Even though Su Rui had relied on Yun Ji to not give face to anyone in Shengjing City during this period, and had clashed with Chang Ning several times without letting Chang Ning suffer a good result, but now, facing Prince Long, she could only respond obediently.
This made Prince Long's eyes warm up a bit. He raised his hand and tapped the table with two fingers as if unintentionally.
Some people don't know this voice, but Su Rui knows it.
This means she should pour the wine.
Military slaves are also slaves. They are servants in the army and naturally have to pour wine and serve food when the soldiers are eating.
Even if Su Rui relied on her identity as a shoemaker to avoid being bullied in the army, she still had to do the work she had to do. Besides, she no longer did the work of a shoemaker.
However, her current identity is Prince Yong's concubine. Even if she is not the main wife, she has been decorated with the Royal Jade Butterfly, which means her status is not low. She also represents the face of Prince Yong's Mansion and Yun Ji.
If she served wine and food to Prince Long as a military slave, it would mean that Prince Yong's mansion was submitting to her.
This is disrespectful.
However, because she was only a concubine, if we were to talk about it alone, it would be fine for her to serve Prince Long.
When a general of the previous dynasty was so successful that he surpassed his master, he even asked the emperor's favorite concubine to pour wine for him personally.
To say it is not humiliating is humiliating; to say it is humiliating is not true.
The favorite concubine of the previous dynasty died shortly after pouring the wine. How she died is unknown.
Now, the scene is repeated, and everything depends on Su Rui's choice.
Should she choose herself or Yun Ji.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Su Rui finally stood up.
Tang Yuli opened her mouth to persuade them, but the nanny who was following them immediately held her down. Changning gave her a sharp look and warned her not to say anything more.
Tang Yuli looked at Su Rui anxiously and could only shake his head silently.
Su Rui smiled back at her, just like she did that day, as if to say that she was fine, but not as forced as Tang Yuli's that day.
She was indeed fine.
After all, she had already made her choice.
"Prince Long has worked so hard to protect his country. If you don't mind, my daughter Su is willing to serve you today's meal."
Su Rui was talking about her daughter Su, not her concubine Su, which clarified her relationship with Yun Ji!
Everyone was surprised, and Luo E, who followed Su Rui into the palace today, tightly grasped the divorce letter that had not yet been stamped in her sleeve.
"How can this be done?" Prince Long said it was not possible, but he leaned back to make room for Su Rui.
"Your Highness has worked hard and made great contributions. I am here to represent the millions of people under your protection." Su Rui smiled as she walked through the scantily clad dancers, her back straight and without any shame or fear.
It's like a general who knows he will die but still chooses to die bravely, which can't help but move many people's hearts.
When she reached Prince Long's side, the servants had already made room for her.
When she got closer, Su Rui could see more clearly that Prince Long was three times her size.
His huge pot belly almost touched the edge of the table, and his thick palms were covered with calluses, but one could tell at a glance that they were old, and many of them had turned back, which showed that Prince Long had not trained for a long time.
When Su Rui was young, he had also heard of Prince Long's praise. People said that he was a divine soldier sent from heaven, brave and resolute, who saved the border from danger, led the battle, and drove away the foreign tribes for thousands of miles, making him deeply loved by the people.
It was also for this reason that the title of Prince Long, who was originally granted the title of a prince of a different surname only because his ancestor was a founding general, became famous again in Da Zhao, and he quickly rose to become the top military general today, and was able to compete with the Lin family.
But now, Prince Long is obviously no longer the general who was dedicated to saving the people. He is more concerned with scheming for power.
"Thank you for your help, Concubine Su." Prince Long moved the wine glass, not closer to Su Rui, but farther away, closer to himself.
If Su Rui wanted to pour the wine, she would have to move closer, and the distance would be almost right next to Prince Long.
She is already standing here, and this glass of wine must be poured.
And after she falls, what awaits her will surely be even more extreme humiliation.
Prince Long wanted to trample her into the mud. He didn't care whether she was innocent or not. What he wanted was to humiliate her, show Yun Ji his power, and vent all the anger that Prince Long's mansion had suffered during this period.
After the anger subsided, the families in Shengjing also saw the attitude of Prince Yong's Mansion towards Prince Long. At that time, as long as she disappeared like the favorite concubine of the previous dynasty, Prince Long would be able to reconcile with Yun Ji.
And Su Rui did not choose to sacrifice herself.
If Yun Ji loses, her support will be broken and it will be difficult for her to achieve what she wants.
So, she had no choice but to go down this path.
And she believed that Yun Ji was not the cruel and cowardly emperor of the previous dynasty who would kill her to eliminate the stain. However, she needed to leave Prince Yong's Mansion and take off her identity as a concubine.
Yun Ji will remember her kindness, and nothing has changed for both of them.
As for this humiliation, I can get through it by gritting my teeth.
Taking a deep breath, Su Rui took a step towards Prince Long, and the corner of her clothes had already touched his clothes.
She picked up the wine jug and poured it down, and at the same time, she clearly felt the heat from Prince Long's arm coming towards her waist.
Su Rui gritted her teeth, forcing herself to endure it, forcing a smile on her face, and pressed her hand down, and down again.
Everyone looked at it with different expressions.
There are pitiful ones.
Some people feel distressed.
There is a sense of shame.
There is excitement.
Changning, on the other hand, was proud and impatient.
Finally, the invincible Su Rui was about to die. Even though she dared to challenge her again and again with the help of Yun Ji, she had to bow her head in front of her father even if Yun Ji came.
She was a little excited, looking forward to what expression Yun Ji would have when he arrived and saw his beloved concubine in tattered clothes and ruined reputation in public.
He must be extremely hateful, but he still has to grit his teeth and force a smile. Just thinking about it makes Changning feel happy.
Her eyes were fixed on her, watching as Prince Long's hand was only two fingers away from Su Rui's waist. The moment the wine fell, she would be embraced in his arms, further crushing her self-esteem.
"What are you doing!"
Just as everyone's eyes were fixed on Su Rui and Prince Long, an angry shout was heard from outside the palace.
Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw Yun Ji standing outside the palace gate with his clothes slightly disheveled and his hair hanging down. His chest rising and falling silently told me that he had come in a hurry and had not had time to catch his breath.
Su Rui didn't expect Yun Ji to come at this time, and her body suddenly froze.
Before she could think about how he came back, Yun Ji had already rushed in, walked up to her and grabbed Prince Long's hand behind her.
