Chapter 200 I am not as cowardly as you, Prince
"Your Majesty, have a drink!"
"Have a drink!"
"Have a drink!"
The soldiers followed suit, and even the guards who had never seen Yun Ji drinking secretly encouraged more people to join in the commotion.
With a great victory in front of him, Yun Ji didn't want to dampen everyone's spirits, so he had to take the wine glass handed to him by Chen Duo and drink it all in one gulp.
The spiciness passed through his throat, causing Yun Ji, who rarely showed any expression, to frown, close his eyes, and smack his lips.
The generals and soldiers laughed in triumph and then went to drink water for Wang Wuwei.
Especially Chen Duo, who knew that this old guy was Yun Ji's eyes, nodded at himself and drank with extra enthusiasm.
But his brain was not as good as Wang Wuwei's, and the limelight was turned around in a few seconds. Chen Duo and Wei Chu became the heroes of this incident, and they started to get the two of them drunk one by one.
After several attempts, Wei Chu took the opportunity to escape and reached the corner, but found that the corner had already been occupied.
It’s Yunji!
His cheeks were flushed and he sat in the corner, getting drunk after just one drink.
Wei Chu was also drunk and no longer had the energy to find another place. He didn't care about anything else and just sat down next to Yun Ji.
Feeling squeezed, Yun Ji turned to look.
A wall?
Wei Chu turned around and greeted him without hesitation: "Your Majesty, can you lend me a piece of land so we can hide together?"
Seeing that it was Wei Chu, Yun Ji did not give way.
Originally, the place was not small. Maybe it was because he was drunk or something else, but Yun Ji just didn't want to give up.
Seeing Yun Ji standing still, Wei Chu paused and asked with a smile, "Your Highness, are you seeking revenge for a personal vendetta?"
Yun Ji frowned, "How can this be a personal vendetta?"
"Because I love Su Rui," Wei Chu said bluntly, "that's why the prince won't give me a seat."
Hearing Wei Chu say that he loved Su Rui, Yun Ji felt an indescribable pain in his heart.
He met Wei Chu mostly when all the soldiers were discussing, and he would not mention Su Rui. Occasionally, when they met in private, they would only say two or three words. Even if Su Rui was mentioned, Yun Ji treated her normally.
But today, after drinking, my mind is not so clear and I feel particularly uncomfortable.
Moreover, the people Wang Wuwei sent to keep an eye on what Wei Chu and Shen Duo said when they came back also reported accurately.
In Wei Chu's heart, Su Rui is a beauty like a fairy.
She also embroidered marigolds for him with her own hands, hoping that he would live a long and healthy life.
"Your admiration for her is between you and her. It has nothing to do with you and me, and there's no question of enmity."
Yun Ji's tone unconsciously carried a hint of resentment, but in his heart he thought that he could not control Wei Chu's dislike for Su Rui, nor could he control whether Su Rui would like him. He and Wei Chu were only superiors and subordinates, commanders and generals, and comrades on the battlefield. How could there be any personal vendetta?
Wei Chuzui looked at Yun Ji, as if seeing through something, and asked, "Really? She's your concubine, and you're not angry? If it were me, and another man coveted my wife, I would tear him apart!"
As he spoke, Wei Chu waved his hands in the air, as if he was really tearing someone apart.
Yun Ji frowned.
Why is he so self-righteous? If what he said is true, shouldn't he be the one to be torn apart?
And can he tear Wei Chu apart?
Why tear it apart?
"She is my concubine, but she shouldn't belong to me. She is herself and can do whatever she wants. If she likes you, I... that's her decision."
Yun Ji wanted to say that he would help her.
But when the words came to my lips, I couldn't utter them, so I could only change the way I put it.
He promised to let her go.
If she chooses Wei Chu, he should respect her choice.
He had also carefully observed Wei Chu these days. He was a simple, honest, straightforward and single-minded man with only Su Rui in his heart.
He is a good person to support you throughout your life.
Better than him.
Although I understand that this is the way it should be, there is always another voice in my heart.
"So, the prince doesn't like her?" Wei Chu asked, staring straight at her.
Doesn't he like Su Rui?
It seems not. Even though she was so rude when we first met, I didn't dislike her for that.
As for Su Rui, he still couldn't tell what she was like.
"Then why do you like her?" Yun Ji couldn't help but ask why Wei Chu was so sure.
"I have liked her since the first time I saw her."
Wei Chu clearly remembered that day, when she had dragged herself out from the pile of dead bodies. Her thin little body was covered in wounds, but she dragged him back to the barracks, stitched him up, applied medicine, bandaged him, and stayed by his side day and night until he could no longer hold on and fainted beside the bed. Only then did she bring him back from the brink of death.
At just one glance, he recognized her.
Even though Su Rui had no feelings for him, even though he knew she had saved him for her own reasons, he knew that she had never hurt anyone.
Even if others say that she is scheming, cunning, and has a bad background, Wei Chu doesn't care.
If he liked her, he liked everything about her.
Even though she was only grateful and guilty towards him, she had said several times that he had already repaid her for saving his life.
But if she hadn't sacrificed herself to save him, he would not have survived and he would not have been able to repay her kindness.
"Even though you know she has no feelings for you?"
Yun Ji didn't understand. He believed Su Rui's words that she had already made it clear to Wei Chu, which would definitely not give him any hope. Why did Wei Chu still insist so much?
When he is conscious, he will not ask about other people's private affairs. He should not ask about them.
But at this moment, he wanted to ask, wanted to know, wanted an answer.
"She's not just indifferent to me. As long as she's still single, I have a chance. If I like her, I have to pursue her. Otherwise, my life would be in vain. I'm not like you, my prince, who is so cowardly that I dare not admit my love."
"How am I a coward!" Yun Ji was like a black bodhisattva whose tail had been stepped on. He wanted to stand up unwillingly, but he was too drunk and couldn't stand up at all. He immediately sat up straight and said, "I never said I like Su Rui."
"You didn't say it, but your eyes, your movements, everything said it all, Your Highness. As a man who also likes the same woman, I can see it. I saw it at first sight."
Patting Yun Ji's chest, Wei Chu smiled triumphantly.
From the moment he saw Yun Ji and met his eyes, Wei Chu knew that he liked Su Rui just like himself, and liked her very much.
But I dare to say it, but he doesn't.
I don’t know why, it’s a good thing for me, but the more I look at it, the more worried I become.
If I win like this, it would be an unfair victory.
If you want to fight, you have to be fair.
"I don't."
Yun Ji refused to admit it.
He doesn't like Su Rui.
He just didn't dislike her, identify with her, admire her, or covet her. It was all because of desire, a weak mind, and insufficient cultivation. It wasn't... it wasn't love.
"If you don't like her, how could you tolerate her? Obey her? Pamper her? She's deep-minded, sharp-tempered, sometimes unkind, even cold-blooded. People who don't like her can't stand it. Your Highness, ask yourself, have you ever felt disgusted with her because of her excessive behavior?"
Never.
He never disliked Su Rui because of her personality. He was just wary of her scheming at first, but he also understood that she had to do so. The more time went by, the more distressed he felt.
He felt sorry for the suffering she had endured, the struggle she had to endure alone and the difficulty she had in surviving, so he went to the Yong'an Marquis Mansion that day, not just to deliver something to Ruirui.
After that, I admire her. She is like a weed that breaks through the ground even in desperate situations, seizing every opportunity to grow and persevering. She is also like a flower that faces the sun, moving forward firmly even when the sunlight is weak.
He had to pull her onto his boat. He felt guilty towards her and wanted to protect her. Even if he couldn't reach the end, he would keep her safe.
If she gets there, let her go.
But in fact, he felt a tingling sensation when he first thought about it, but Su Rui did not refuse.
She knew what she wanted and would never indulge in love. She wanted freedom and he shouldn't restrict her.
"Your Majesty, ask yourself again, how does your body treat her?"
