Chapter 225: A place that can shelter you from the wind and rain, no need to force yourself
The so-called treatment must be imprisonment. Marquis Yong'an, who already understood his situation, wanted to struggle, but his whole body was like a puddle of mud at this moment. It was difficult for him to even move a finger, let alone struggle.
He could only glare at Su Rui viciously and was unwillingly carried to the wounded camp.
Wu Yu wisely retreated back into the darkness. Yun Ji held Su Ruidu's hand, frowned, and apologized, "I didn't expect him to be so persistent."
Knowing that Marquis Yong'an would come to Su Rui to plead for mercy if he failed to see him, but also knowing that Su Rui had been in the wounded camp, Yun Ji arranged for people to block Marquis Yong'an outside.
For three consecutive hours, no one expected that Marquis Yong'an could hold on like this, and no one expected that other things would happen and accidentally avoid the opportunity, which gave Marquis Yong'an a chance.
Su Rui shook her head. "Even if you are on guard, he will find an opportunity."
Although she was unwilling to admit it, Su Rui knew in her heart that the persistence in her bones was most likely inherited from the Marquis of Yong'an, and she would not give up until she achieved her goal.
Therefore, after she gave up her pursuit of her father's halo, she was able to quickly see through the hypocrisy of Yong'an Hou and knew better where to poke his heart.
But after saying those words and exposing all the masks of Yong'an Hou, Su Rui did not feel relieved at all. Instead, he felt depressed and uncomfortable, and even had difficulty breathing.
Yun Ji keenly sensed her changes, reached out and held her in his arms, rested his chin on the top of her head, and gently rubbed it, saying: "It's okay, I'm here."
Yes, he is.
Leaning on his strong and warm embrace, feeling his body temperature which is slightly higher than my own, and smelling the soothing sandalwood scent on his body, I felt like a lone tree that had been drifting alone on the sea for a long time and finally entered a harbor that could shelter me from the wind and rain and I no longer had to force myself to hold on.
Su Rui allowed herself to rest for a moment, leaning against his chest. After a while, she finally caught her breath and looked up, asking, "Are we going back to Beijing?"
Although she was reluctant to return to the capital so soon, Yun Ji nodded without hiding it from her.
When Su Rui heard that Marquis Yong'an was coming, he knew that he could no longer stay in Weicheng.
Dongyue has retreated, the war is over, and the Lin family and Prince Long have already pushed Marquis Yong'an out as a scapegoat. Yun Ji has no reason to stay on the battlefield and has to return to Beijing to hand in the talisman and claim credit.
And because of her father-daughter relationship with Yong'an Hou, even if Yun Ji enforces the law impartially, such a relationship is still complicated and cannot be concluded in Weicheng, so he needs to return to Beijing to sort it out.
Moreover, there is General Tang.
It was impossible for him to wait in Weicheng with the Mobei Army all the time.
Even if there is no evidence now, everyone knows the truth. General Tang and Prince Long are brothers, so he naturally knows more than them and is more clear about what Prince Long did.
At the same time, it also indirectly proved that what Su Rui said to him at the beginning was true. Even if he didn't say a word now, he must be worried about Tang Yuli and couldn't wait to return to Beijing.
Once General Tang leads the Mobei Army to evacuate, leaving only the remaining 10,000-odd Yanzhou troops, there will be no possibility of competing with the Lin family.
So, no matter what, we must raise an army and return to Beijing in the next few days.
Maybe it was because of her pregnancy, but after a few days of these peaceful days, Su Rui didn't want to go back to Shengjing, the turbulent and treacherous city. She wanted to give birth in a safe place and raise the two children in her belly.
But she and Yun Ji both knew that they were in the eye of the storm and had no choice but to remain calm.
The same goes for the baby in her belly. Once it is in her belly, there is no peace for it, at least not now.
Whether for my own sake or for the future safety of the two little ones in my belly, I have to go back to Beijing no matter how reluctant I am.
Just as Su Rui took a deep breath and calmed down, and was about to say something, he saw a dark shadow approaching quickly. In the blink of an eye, the secret guard knelt on one knee in front of Yun Ji and reported, "Master, we have found Abbot Kong Ming. He is resting five hundred miles away."
Yun Ji nodded, and the secret guard retreated.
Su Rui asked in confusion, "Why is the prince looking for Abbot Kongming?"
If she remembered correctly, Abbot Kongming had set out to find a cure for the emperor more than half a year ago.
"The abbot sent word a few days ago that he had found thousand-year-old snow ginseng in the snowy mountains between the Dongyue Kingdom and the Nanyue Kingdom. It's time for him to return, and he must be heading back to Zhao via Changdu Pass. Since we're all going back to the capital, why not travel together?"
Thousand-year-old snow ginseng is indeed a rare and magical medicine.
But would it be effective for the dying emperor? Did the emperor eat it in his previous life?
Su Rui had no recollection, nor could she say for sure what the emperor would do in this life, but it was a good idea for Yun Ji and Abbot Kong Ming to set off together to return to the capital.
On the one hand, it can delay for a few more days, giving us time to interrogate the prisoners who have not been released yet, and conduct a thorough investigation, which may lead to unexpected discoveries.
Secondly, everyone in the Great Zhao now knows that Abbot Kongming went to look for elixirs for the emperor, and he must have found them when he returned to the capital. Even though Empress Lin has placed the emperor under house arrest, the Lin family is omnipotent and dares not show their power openly, let alone attack Abbot Kongming. This is tantamount to providing an extra layer of insurance for the Yanzhou army.
Yun Ji didn't know what Su Rui was thinking, but he didn't explain any further to her.
There were so many things to do that after sending Su Rui back to the backyard, he became busy like a top again.
Su Rui understood that he was now helpless and that he was not the only one who was burdened. He did not say much, but just asked Wu Yu to bring him some nourishing medicine every day.
She herself continued to stay in the wounded soldiers' camp, busy from dawn to dusk. Even when her stomach felt tight, she could only take a short rest before continuing to work.
Time is urgent. We must quickly turn serious injuries into minor ones, and minor injuries into recovery, so that there will be no deaths during the march back to Beijing.
Fortunately, such days only lasted for three days.
Three days later, Abbot Kongming arrived in Yanzhou.
Not only did they bring a large amount of medicinal herbs and pills collected over the past six months, but they also brought a group of great monks who knew medicine and compassionately went to the wounded camp, which immediately alleviated the problem of insufficient manpower.
Su Rui and the three military doctors had already laid a good foundation for the wounded soldiers. After Abbot Kongming and the senior monks took over, they adjusted the prescription. There were also plenty of medicinal materials. After a few doses, the wounded soldiers recovered visibly.
Seeing more and more people recovering, Su Rui's heart gradually calmed down. Seeing Abbot Kongming coming from the other side, he immediately stood up and bowed.
"Greetings to Abbot Kongming."
"Excuse me, Concubine." Abbot Kong Ming clasped his hands together in return. His kind and gentle gaze fell on Su Ruidu's belly and asked, "Seven months, right?"
Although Master Kongming had been in Weicheng for two days and often came to the wounded camp, he was so busy that Su Rui had no time to talk to him.
After all, he was Master Suan Yunji's man, so Su Rui felt that he was being impolite, so he nodded and replied obediently, "Yes, exactly seven months."
"Can I take the concubine's pulse?"
