Chapter 274 It’s been too long so... can’t hold it in anymore?
The fifth day of July is the beginning of autumn.
Su Rui had been sitting in the moon for half a month. After much persuasion, she was finally able to open half of the window for ventilation under the arrangement of Master Yun Yi. When there was a breeze, she could sit in front of the bed with a hat on for a while.
Fearing that she would feel bored, Yun Ji had people collect a lot of storybooks and planted a lot of flowers in the yard. He let Ruirui and Xiao Huiming live in the side room in the yard. Even though the two little guys couldn't enter the house, he still felt a little angry when he saw them playing and fighting in the yard.
Unlike the two little things that came out of her belly, they were like little pigs all day long, eating and sleeping, and fighting when they were awake.
To be precise, the eldest brother provoked the second brother, who was annoyed and burst into tears after being subdued. When he woke up the next day, the same thing happened again.
It was just like her dream, and just like her and Yun Ji at the beginning. She was the one who rushed forward, and after failing, she was angry and gritted her teeth, but she was unyielding.
Unfortunately, she couldn't remain unyielding now.
Yun Ji had been by her side when she was unconscious, with too many things piling up. After she woke up, many things also changed, and they all needed Yun Ji to deal with.
After her health stabilized, Yun Ji became very busy. Even the day when General Tang came was just a coincidence and Yun Ji just happened to have time to return home. He didn't even have time to come back and tell her what he said to General Tang before he left in a hurry.
I don’t know if it’s because she’s particularly sentimental after giving birth, or because she cherishes Yun Ji more after coming back to life, but she misses him especially after not seeing him for a few days, and even starts to get irritated and sulky.
"What's wrong with the concubine?" Even Xiaoru, who was always carefree, could see that Su Rui was unhappy.
"Nothing, just close the window." Su Rui no longer had the heart to look at the scenery. She turned around and rested her chin on the low table with her hands impatiently. She even looked at the book on the table and waved her hand to sweep it away.
Xiaoru was curious and wanted to ask Su Rui what was wrong, but Luo'e shook her head silently.
Xiaoru didn't understand, but she didn't say anything. She obediently reached out to close the window, but before she could pull it back, she saw a figure shouting, "The prince is back."
Hearing that Yun Ji had returned, Su Rui wanted to turn around to look, but she stopped herself angrily, holding herself still and not looking.
I only heard footsteps approaching the door, the sound of water washing hands, then the curtain was opened, and Yun Ji, still wearing a purple official robe, walked in.
Seeing Su Rui sitting on the couch with her chin in her hand, she didn't even look at him, but looked at Luo E and Xiao Ru inexplicably.
Xiaoru responded with a confused expression. Luo'e smiled and said nothing. She just said that the little boy should be fed. She asked Xiaoru to pick up one of the babies and leave quickly.
There were only two people left in the room. Yun Ji walked over and saw that she was frowning. He approached and asked, "Are you angry?"
"Your Highness is busy with all kinds of affairs. How dare I be angry with you?" Su Rui snorted, never looking at him.
"Then take a look at this, maybe you won't be angry anymore." Yun Ji said as he took out a brown paper bag from his arms. As soon as it came out, it exuded the aroma of oil.
After eating bland soup without even a hint of salt for several days, Su Rui became extremely sensitive to smells. She didn't care whether she was angry or not and immediately fixed her eyes on it.
Yun Ji had already opened the brown paper, revealing several crispy, oily cakes covered with sesame seeds. One of them broke open, revealing the greasy and fragrant meat filling inside. Su Rui's mouth was watering.
"Is it the sesame meat pie from Tianxialou?"
Yun Ji, who was a thief for the first time, hurriedly hushed, "Keep your voice down."
Thinking of the elusive Luo E, Su Rui immediately covered her mouth.
We must not let Luo E know, otherwise she will definitely take the meat pie away.
Now Luo E is becoming more and more like the housekeeper. She doesn't give face to anyone on some matters. She insists she is right and no one can justify herself.
After looking around and making sure that Luo E had not returned, Su Rui took the meat pie and ate it in big mouthfuls like a starving ghost. His mouth was filled with the aroma of oil, and he finally felt alive again.
One after another, they ate until their eyes sparkled and their lips became oily.
Watching her wolfing down the food, Yun Ji skillfully poured her tea, prepared a handkerchief, and handed it to her when she reached out her hand.
Until she finished the last one and leaned back on the soft pillow contentedly, Yun Ji reached out to wipe the sesame seeds off her mouth and asked, "Are you not angry anymore?"
One should be grateful for what one has received, and one should be soft-hearted when receiving something from someone else. Su Rui still has to stay in confinement for a long time. She relies on Yun Ji to bring her delicious food, so how can she dare to be angry?
"I'm not angry, I just haven't seen you for a long time and I miss you so much. It hurts my heart to touch you." Su Rui took his hand and placed it on her heart.
It's very strong, there is no pain at all.
It's just that the place is softer and bigger than before.
Yun Ji was about to get angry, so he quickly pulled his hand back.
Su Rui was stunned to see his big reaction.
Looking at him again, his ears were red again.
She just said it casually and didn't do anything, but he blushed and got angry.
Could it be that it’s been too long so... I can’t hold it in anymore?
Although her body had recovered to a large extent, she was still in confinement after the birth of her baby, so she could not do that and did not dare to tease Yun Ji. Su Rui pretended not to notice anything unusual and changed the subject, asking, "What did the prince and General Tang say that day?"
After taking a few deep breaths, Yun Ji tried to remain calm and said, "I didn't say anything. I just informed General Tang of the current situation. Given his position and the military power he holds, it's impossible for him to remain unscathed."
"What does General Tang say?"
Yun Ji shook his head. "He didn't say it. It was indeed a difficult thing for him."
"He is still hesitating, so will he still choose Prince Long's Mansion?" If General Tang still chooses Prince Long's Mansion, not only will Tang Yuli be sacrificed, but it will also be a big obstacle for Yun Ji. After all, General Tang holds the Mobei Army in his hands.
"He probably won't choose Prince Long's Palace. Even if he does, it will be useless."
Seeing Yun Ji's confidence, Su Rui was puzzled. Then something occurred to her and she asked, "Is the wolf cub ready?"
Yun Ji did not answer, but took out a few letters from his sleeve pocket.
Su Rui took it and opened it. It was a letter between Prince Long, Rongdi and Dongyue, but it did not contain anything substantial regarding the country's military affairs.
"This is only part of the story. The key lies in Tang Cheng's hands."
Su Rui was not surprised. The wolf cub would definitely keep something in reserve to ensure that he would not be abandoned. He would not take it out until the day of fulfillment.
"Are you sure what he has is real?" Su Rui asked.
Yun Ji nodded.
With this letter, we have evidence of treason. If we investigate further, we will soon uncover all the truth.
The destruction of Prince Long's Mansion is a foregone conclusion.
Eliminating Prince Long's Mansion would mean cutting off an arm of Queen Lin and the Lin family.
As for General Tang, it depends on his choice. Su Rui hopes that he can choose a path for Tang Yuli.
