Chapter 263 Go, go where you should go
The sound was very far away, somewhat strange and yet somewhat familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere before, but I couldn't remember where.
Su Rui turned her head from her mother's arms and looked, but there was nothing.
Dad and brother were still smiling, and the house was still the same, without any change.
Who called her just now?
Did I hear it wrong?
But the man's voice sounded anxious and sad, as if he had lost something extremely important.
Tick.
Something dripped onto the back of my hand.
Su Rui looked down and saw that it was water.
Then, another drop.
It was sliding down her face.
She raised her hand to touch her cheek, tears already streaming down her face.
Is she crying?
Why?
She had never cried before. Her mother, father and brother never made her cry.
"Rui'er." Her mother called her.
Su Rui looked up, and her mother was still looking at her so gently and lovingly. She raised her hand and gently wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief, saying softly, "Rui'er, it's time to go back."
"Go back? Where do you want me to go, mother?" Su Rui frantically grabbed her mother's hand. Shrouded in fear, she quickly refused, "My home is with mother. I'm not going anywhere."
"This is not the place for you, kid."
Isn't that where she should be?
Why?
Her mother, father and brother are here, why shouldn't she stay?
She didn't understand what her mother meant, and turned anxiously to look at her father and brother.
They were still smiling, exactly the same as before.
"Daddy? Brother?" Su Rui called them, but there was still no response, as if they were two puppets, even their eyes had lost their luster.
Before Su Rui could react to what was happening, she was pushed by her mother's hand from behind and fell off the couch.
"Rui Er, go, go to where you should go."
Mother's voice drifted away, and Su Rui fell to the ground. She got up and looked around, but her mother, father, and brother were nowhere to be seen.
The house was gone, and the garden was gone.
It was pitch black, and she seemed to be wrapped in it, or as if she was a part of the darkness.
Go where she should go?
Where is it?
who is she?
Inside the house, Master Yun Yi, sweating profusely, pulled out the last silver needle from Su Rui's head. Without even a moment to drink a cup of tea, he looked at Yun Ji, who had endured the pain for seven or eight days, his beard untidy and his body shaky. He couldn't bear to speak, but as a monk, he couldn't lie, so he could only say tactfully, "You've made it this time, but it's still unknown what stage it is, how long you can endure, when you'll wake up, and whether you can escape danger."
Yun Ji nodded, stood up and skillfully tidied her messy hair.
Seeing him so lost, Master Yun Yi said distressedly: "Yun Ji, it's useless for you to stay here and guard her. Go and have a rest."
"I'll stay here with her. Thank you, Master Yunyi. Please take a rest first."
He had long been accustomed to him no longer calling him Senior Brother, but in Yun Yi's heart, Yun Ji was still the junior brother he had been cultivating with since childhood. He couldn't help but say angrily: "Life and death are determined by fate. You have done what you should and shouldn't do. Why torture yourself again? Since you chose to come into the world and become Prince Yong, you have responsibilities. You can't do this!"
"Without Su Rui, there would be no Prince Yong." Yun Ji picked up the wrung handkerchief and gently wiped Su Rui's arm. "Master, don't worry. I know what to do and I know what Prince Yong should do. Nothing will happen. Master, just rest assured for the emperor."
Nothing will happen to Prince Yong, but if Su Rui is gone, I'm afraid Yun Ji will also be gone, and only an empty shell of Prince Yong will be left.
Seeing him like this, Master Yun Yi understood that he would not listen to anything else he said. He could only sigh, turn around and go out, and go to the Buddhist temple to pray like Hui Ming, hoping that Su Rui could survive this disaster.
Seeing Master Yun Yi leave, the spies secretly passed the news.
The first to receive the news was the palace.
Queen Lin's expression didn't change much after hearing the news. She simply looked up and asked Abbot Kongming, who was playing chess with her, "Abbot, is there any hope for Su Rui?"
"Everything is determined by fate. Look to heaven and yourself." Abbot Kongming said as he put down the chess piece in his hand.
Queen Lin looked at where he had placed his chess piece, threw her own piece back into the chess basket, and said, "I have lost again, but I believe there will always be a game I can win."
Abbot Kongming said nothing, but responded by clasping his hands together.
The Lin family received the news quickly, but it took some time for the news to fall into the hands of the second prince.
He only glanced at the note and casually threw it to his attendant, saying nonchalantly, "Grandfather will make his own decision. It doesn't matter whether I read it or not."
The attendant handed the note back to the person who brought it, and the person took it and left without saying a word.
The Second Prince's eyes darkened, and the temperature around him dropped. His followers retreated in fear.
Prince Long's mansion was the last to know about it because Prince Long was not in the capital at the moment. Changning had severe menstruation and was in so much pain that she had been lying in bed for two days.
When she received the news, she waved her hand and knocked over the medicine bowl brought by the maid, cursing: "She is not dead yet, how many days have passed?"
Her menstrual period tortured her every month, but Su Rui was still alive today despite the continuous hemorrhage. I don’t know what medicine Yun Ji gave her, or what magic medicine he took out from the palace, just for her to lead the troops to force the emperor to abdicate.
A military slave, why?
"Mother, be careful, you hurt your hand." The wolf cub immediately stepped forward with a handkerchief and wiped the medicine that didn't exist on Changning's wound.
The pain made Chang Ning irritable. He pulled his hand back in disgust and said coldly, "You will be seven in half a year. It is not appropriate for you to live in the inner courtyard anymore. Go to the front courtyard in a few days."
A flash of emotion flashed across the wolf cub's eyes, and then he responded obediently, "Yes, son, I will listen to my mother's arrangements."
"Go down."
The wolf cub retreated obediently.
He went out and returned to his yard, closed the door, and blew the bandit's whistle inside the house. After a while, a crow flew in from the window.
I flipped over the wings and found a piece of cloth tied inside.
When I opened it, it was the same as what Changning had learned, Su Rui was not dead yet, but there was no movement either.
Yun Ji stayed in the house with Su Rui, and Prince Yong's Mansion did not block the news, but it was impossible to get the news from inside the house.
It is unclear what Su Rui's condition is and whether she can survive.
Is that dead woman finally going to die?
When she was plotting and taking advantage of me, I wanted to skin her alive, but when she really was about to die, it wasn't that comfortable.
Maybe she died at the wrong time.
If she died, could his deal with Prince Yong still go ahead?
If he couldn't, what he was doing now would be meaningless, but if he didn't do it, death would be waiting for him.
After thinking it over, the wolf cub threw the cloth strip into the incense burner and burned it clean, then turned around and went to Hanfengyuan where Zhou Yao and Chen Youming lived.
