Chapter 212 Yun Ji squeezed into her closed heart
"Concubine Su, the matter has not been clarified yet, and you are pregnant with a child. Don't be impulsive." General Tang reached out and pushed away the crossbow arrow in Su Rui's hand.
No matter what, the other party was her biological father, and if she shot this arrow, she would be destroyed.
The word "child" regained Su Rui's sanity a little.
yes.
She also has two children!
Su Rui retracted his crossbow only after his mouth was full of blood, but the murderous intent in his eyes remained undiminished.
Now that the threat was gone, Marquis Yong'an finally relaxed and recalled what General Tang had just said.
child?
Look at Su Rui's bulging belly again.
She is pregnant!
Pregnant with Yunji's child.
Judging from the size of her belly, she is obviously seven or eight months pregnant and is about to give birth.
That means she was already pregnant before going to Changdu Pass!
"You are pregnant? Why didn't you tell me?" Marquis Yong'an asked angrily.
If she had told him earlier that she was pregnant with Yun Ji's child, he would never have chosen Queen Lin!
After all, the Second Prince has the Lin family and Prince Long behind him, so even if he follows him, he may not be able to get a high position. It’s just that Yun Ji doesn’t value him at all, so he accepted the olive branch.
But it was different when Su Rui became pregnant. She was the only one in Yunji's inner courtyard now. Once she gave birth to a boy, he would be Yunji's eldest son. Even if he married a wife in the future, he would not be able to shake the eldest son's status. As for herself, she was the eldest son's in-laws, and Yunji had to give her a good position for the sake of his eldest son.
If Yun Ji ascends the throne in the future, his eldest son may be made the crown prince. If he inherits the throne, his Su family will be comparable to the Lin family.
But Su Rui didn't say anything! She's really a troublemaker!
"Whether I'm pregnant or not, what does it have to do with you? Or do you regret not knowing I'm pregnant, choosing the wrong path, harming the prince, and ruining your own good path?"
Su Rui exposed the Marquis of Yong'an without any hesitation.
The expression on Marquis Yong'an's face froze for a moment, but his clever mind reacted quickly.
Su Rui came with General Tang, and General Tang had just stopped Su Rui from killing him, obviously for her own good.
He didn't know when Su Rui met General Tang and they seemed to have a good relationship, but General Tang treated Su Rui so well that it was obvious that things might not be as he guessed.
In order to verify his guess, Yong'an Hou suppressed his resentment towards Su Rui, pretended to be a kind father, and stood up while covering the wound on his shoulder.
"What are you talking about? I'm worried about you. What kind of place is this? It's the border, a dangerous place. You came here with a big belly. What if something happens? You're trying to tear my heart out!"
Sharing the same bed with Liang, Marquis Yong'an's acting skills were equally impressive, but he was usually too lazy to act with Su Rui. But at this moment, he really showed his full potential.
From the outside, it seemed that he really loved his daughter. He was not angry when his daughter shot him with an arrow, but was worried about his pregnant daughter.
"If you hadn't deserted the battlefield and betrayed the prince, causing him to be besieged in Weicheng, I wouldn't have come here." Su Rui didn't want to waste time with him. If she heard any more, she would not be able to help but shoot him with an arrow.
Seeing Su Rui bluntly stating his crimes, Marquis Yong'an felt a pang in his heart.
She knew it so clearly, then...
General Tang really came to rescue Yun Ji!
Upon understanding the situation, Marquis Yong'an immediately put on a look of surprise. "What did you say? The prince is under siege in Weicheng? How is that possible? We clearly won a great victory. The prince is just rallying his troops in Weicheng. I... that's what my adjutant told me before I passed out again. Adjutant! Yes! Adjutant!"
Marquis Yong'an ignored the bleeding shoulder and turned to run towards the general's mansion.
General Tang and Su Rui followed, only to see him capture a soldier. The soldier, upon seeing General Tang, trembled and said, "I...I don't know. Adjutant Xiao left six days ago, leaving me to care for the unconscious Marquis. The Marquis had just woken up when he heard the general was here. I haven't yet told him about the prince being trapped in Weicheng."
"You! This is a matter of great importance. Even though I'm unconscious, you should have found a way to inform me!" Marquis Yong'an kicked him, gathering all his anger in that kick. After calming down, he immediately turned to General Tang and said anxiously, "General Tang, it's all my fault that I was unconscious for too long and didn't know anything. I don't know how the prince and the soldiers are doing now. I beg you, General Tang, to send troops to help."
General Tang had already seen through Marquis Yong'an's ruse and, instead of looking at him, asked the soldier who had been kicked to the ground. "Marquis Yong'an was unconscious. If the people below knew about it, why didn't they call for help but instead withdrew?"
"I don't know. When they left, they told us to continue guarding. When we learned that Weicheng was under siege, we wanted to seek help but couldn't get out. The garrison wouldn't let us out, and we...we didn't have a leader."
Most of what the soldier said was true, except for the last sentence.
Those who were left behind were all low-ranking soldiers who didn't know much at all. They just thought they were being evacuated in batches. Only when they found out that the garrison had been replaced and they were locked up did they realize that they were being locked up here.
It was not until Weicheng was besieged that they realized why Marquis Yong'an shouted for retreat after fighting with Rongdi for a while.
But without evidence, they dare not say anything.
Yong'an Hou told them to stay put, but some people started making a fuss and tried to rush to the gate for help, but they ended up...
No one wanted to die, and they were all charged with treason, so the rest of them could only listen to Marquis Yong'an.
"How many days has Weicheng been under siege?"
The soldier swallowed hard and shuddered, "It's the 2nd... the 2nd... the 23rd."
The 23rd!
General Tang and Su Rui had not expected that Yun Ji and his men would be surrounded just two days after the last victory report was received.
The 23rd, almost a month!
Without food and supplies, without rescue, and with a hundred thousand Dongyue troops besieging the city, can they... hold on?
The answer seems to be right in front of us.
"How could I have been unconscious for so long?" Yong'an Hou was still acting. He excitedly took two quick steps to General Tang and pleaded, "General Tang, there is no time to waste! Hurry! Send troops to rescue the prince!"
Before he even finished his words, Su Rui had already turned around and walked out quickly, staggering but never stopping.
General Tang did not verify anything anymore. He turned around and left, ordering his men to quickly take the token and ride back to Mobei to mobilize troops for assistance.
He immediately mounted his horse and quickly caught up with the cart that was pulling fast. Looking at Su Rui, who was staring at the front, he comforted her, "Don't worry. No news is not necessarily bad news."
"I know! He'll be fine! He still has a lot of things to do. He won't die."
Su Rui was answering General Tang and also trying to convince herself, otherwise, she felt she would not be able to hold on.
In the past, she always thought that she and Yun Ji were just partners, they were the big brother and the one who clung to the big brother, the boss and the shopkeeper, and if the other party fell, she would be able to withdraw easily.
I also thought that Yun Ji would lose and die, and I thought about how I should arrange things. I also thought that I would have no reaction to Yun Ji's death.
But when that moment really came, she couldn't bear to stay calm and protect herself, and even risked her life to ask for help.
This was against her code of conduct, but for some reason, she was just like that.
Until now, she found that she could not accept Yun Ji's death.
Whenever I think about it, my heart aches.
Since when, Yun Ji squeezed into her closed heart, occupying a certain position, even becoming indispensable.
It seems like something important that cannot be lost.
Why, she still couldn't explain.
Her only thought now was, Yun Ji must not die, hold on, he must not die.
