Chapter 177 What if Yun Ji doesn’t want it?
Perhaps because she was pregnant with twins, Su Rui's belly grew bigger after four months, and sleeping at night became more difficult than before.
I would easily wake up at the slightest noise, but I was also very sleepy, so when I heard some noise, I opened my eyes blearily.
Seeing the figure she hadn't seen for a long time and smelling the familiar scent of sandalwood, Su Rui felt relieved in her daze. Instinctively, she moved closer to Yun Ji, leaning her face against his hand. She yawned and asked, "Did the prince just come back?"
"kindness."
Yun Ji responded, but his voice was particularly low.
There was no light in the room, it was dim, and Su Rui's hazy eyes couldn't see the changes in his expression.
As for the deep voice, he just assumed that he was tired from traveling all the way.
"Then Your Highness, please take a shower and rest." Letting go of Yun Ji's hand, Su Rui turned over and continued to sleep.
But Yun Ji did not leave. Seeing her sleeping peacefully, he felt mixed emotions.
She didn't feel anything was wrong?
Feeling the gaze, Su Rui turned around again and asked vaguely and doubtfully, "Is there anything else, Your Majesty?"
Should he be in trouble?
Yun Ji hesitated and stood up to leave, but he finally asked, "Have you chosen a guard for me?"
Su Rui thought for a moment, thinking that Yun Ji had already met Wei Chu, and turned back and nodded, "Yes, I met Brother Wei at the border. He is tall and strong, and has fought many battles. Although he has not been awarded military honors, he is a rare and powerful general who can help the prince."
"He admires you?"
"Yes." Su Rui didn't hide anything. "But Brother Wei is sensible and won't confuse public and private matters. I don't have any romantic feelings for him, and I've made that clear to him."
Do you understand?
Recalling the look Wei Chu gave him, Yun Ji felt that the other party didn't understand at all.
And Su Rui, who kept calling him "Brother Wei", made people feel inexplicably irritated.
Seeing Yun Ji didn't respond for a long time, Su Rui sobered up a little and asked closer, "Is the prince unhappy?"
Yun Ji was indeed unhappy.
I've been unhappy since I saw Wei Chu.
But what right did he have to be unhappy?
It was he himself who told her that he was still devoted to Buddhism.
His feelings towards her were probably, probably, just possessiveness, a demon in his heart that had not yet been eliminated, a tribulation that he had not yet overcome.
"No."
Su Rui sensed something was wrong in his tone and was about to get up to ask, but Yun Ji got up first and said, "It's still early, you should sleep a little longer. I'm going to take a shower."
As soon as the words fell, the figure left quickly.
Su Rui only saw Yun Ji's profile revealed in the light outside when he opened the door, with a somewhat melancholy look in his eyes.
But it flashed by so quickly that she couldn't see it clearly.
After thinking about it, Yun Ji would not be angry about such a small matter. Maybe he was tired during this period of time.
Unfortunately, he left in such a hurry that I didn't have time to tell him about my pregnancy.
Never mind, let him rest first, it’s not a bad idea to talk to him later.
But unexpectedly, when Su Rui woke up, Yun Ji had already gone to court.
Even though the emperor is now seriously ill and no longer attends court, daily court meetings are still held. The Censorate and Prime Minister Lin handle most of the memorials. Those that require the emperor's review will be sent to Empress Lin, who will then screen those that require the emperor's approval and give them to the emperor.
There is no problem with the procedure, but after experiencing the snowstorm mob, there is no one in the court who stands against the Lin family. Even if they do not take sides, they are neutral and dare not go against the Lin family.
The Lin family has the final say in the entire court.
The most important thing is that some time ago, a mob stormed Prince Long’s palace.
Prince Long fought bravely in the battle and was seriously injured. Several imperial doctors said that he had suffered injuries to his lungs and that he had narrowly escaped death and needed a long period of recuperation.
What kind of existence is Prince Long’s Mansion? Unless the real mob is willing to risk their lives, no one would dare to attack Prince Long’s Mansion.
A self-directed and self-acted drama is almost in everyone's face, telling you that Prince Long is pretending to be sick.
But what can I do?
The mob rushed in, the imperial physician examined him, but Prince Long never showed up.
That's a serious injury.
This was probably what was discussed at the court meeting today. To be more precise, it was about who could replace Prince Long to go to Changdu Pass.
Yun Ji will definitely be framed when he goes to court today.
Therefore, Su Rui had no intention of sleeping anymore.
But the weather was still cold, with the wind howling. She didn't know when Yun Ji would come back, and she couldn't stand standing in the cold wind for too long, so she waited in the big warm room in the front yard.
This place was originally used for guests. It is diagonally opposite the main gate and can be seen after passing through the second hanging flower door.
Su Rui was half lying on a chaise longue covered with a soft quilt, covered with a fox fur coat, eating tamarind cakes with wooden sticks.
I don’t know if it’s because of the medicine prescribed by Master Yun Yi, but now her morning sickness has improved a lot, and she only vomits occasionally. Her appetite has also improved a lot, and she is starting to gain weight. She is not as irritable as before.
She gently stroked her slightly bulging belly, wondering how Yun Ji would react when he found out.
Is it surprise, joy, or boredom and disgust?
She was a little excited, but also a little scared.
At first, she didn't know whether she should keep these two little things, but as time went on, especially in the past two days, she felt some movement inside.
That feeling is indescribable.
It's really amazing.
There really were two little babies of the same blood as her in her belly, alive and moving.
She didn't know if it was innate or if the desire deep in her heart was reactivated, but she wanted to keep these two little things.
What if Yun Ji doesn’t want it?
Just as I was thinking about it, I caught a glimpse of movement on the screen wall.
Looking up, I thought it was Yun Ji, but it turned out to be Wei Chu.
He was already Yunji's guard, so naturally, like the other guards Yunji brought back this time, he lived in the back house in the front yard.
Seeing Su Rui in the warm room, he walked in happily, put the brown paper package in his hand on the table, and quickly untied the rope with both hands, revealing the sour fruits inside.
"Miss Xiaoru said you like sour food recently, so I went to find some sour fruits. You can try them. If you like them, I'll go find more next time."
No one else in the mansion knew that Su Rui was pregnant. Because she was not sure whether to keep the child or not, Su Rui did not let anyone know. Now, only Huiming, Luo'e, and herself knew about it.
Wei Chu didn't ask her why she liked sour food now. Just like in the past, he would try his best to get her what she liked.
At this time, the forests are dry, so how can there be any fruit? You can tell from the different colors of the fruit skin that it took several days to get it.
"Brother Wei, you don't have to do this to me. Now I'm not at the border, I'm in the palace. I can get what I want. Just do your own thing and pursue your future. Don't worry about me anymore."
"I will pursue my future, but you are also what I think about day and night. You don't love Prince Yong, but I won't give up on you. If you don't like it, I won't do this anymore, but I will still wait for you. I don't care about those worldly things."
Wei Chu was direct in his words, but he stood still without crossing the line at all.
He would not do anything that Su Rui did not like, but he would never give up pursuing her.
Su Rui sat up and wanted to explain more clearly, but before she could open her mouth, she saw Yun Ji, who was blocked by Wei Chu's huge figure at the door.
