Chapter 297 When did he make her angry?
Wei Chu hasn't seen Su Rui since returning to Shengjing from Weicheng.
First, he was busy with the matter of joining the city defense camp. After he finally finished that, Su Rui was in danger of giving birth. As he was a man, he could not enter the inner house, so he could only go to Prince Yong's mansion every now and then to ask about Su Rui's situation.
It was not until Su Rui woke up, grabbed Master Yun Yi, and heard him say with his own ears that Su Rui just needed to recuperate well that he stopped bothering Prince Yong's mansion and counted the days until Su Rui was out of confinement.
Unexpectedly, just a few days after I finished my confinement, the Dongyue delegation came again, and everything was busy again.
The fact that Wei Chu was able to lead the guard today was not arranged by Yun Ji, nor was it arranged by the higher-ups. He had secretly put in a lot of effort to get his turn.
But Wei Chu did not talk about the things behind these things. He just took the time to ask Su Rui about her health and chat about what had happened during this period, just like the time when they were at the border in the past.
Now everyone has their own responsibilities, so it is not easy to get together. Moreover, Su Rui knows that with Wei Chu's ability, he will not stay in the position of the city defense camp commander for too long.
Maybe I will leave Beijing soon, and it is unknown when we will see each other again.
I don’t know if it’s because she’s become more delicate in relationships after being a mother, or if it’s because she cherishes things more after experiencing life and death again, and she’s more patient with Wei Chu, a friend she’s been through a lot with.
"Don't worry, I've recovered now and am in better health than before." Su Rui once again solemnly told Wei Chu not to worry about her.
"Then... why are you unhappy?" Wei Chu finally asked the question that had been bothering him today.
"When was I unhappy?" Su Rui was puzzled. How could she look unhappy?
"In the carriage, I... happened to see it."
In the carriage?
All she thought about while sitting in the carriage was the scent of Princess Dongyue, and how Yun Ji would have to get very close to her if he wanted to smell that scent...
I was so absorbed in thought that I didn't even notice my expression.
Although Wei Chu always spoke bluntly, he was not completely inconsiderate of the time. Moreover, she had just come out of confinement not long ago. If her expression at that time had not made Wei Chu feel that the matter was really serious, he would not have spoken at this time.
I'm afraid that expression is more than just unhappy.
She was upset because of this?
It was clearly nothing serious, but the feeling of being out of control made Su Rui even more upset.
"Su Rui, is it..."
Knowing what Wei Chu wanted to say, Su Rui immediately interrupted: "No, I'm just too tired these days and a little irritable."
A flash of disappointment flashed across Wei Chu's eyes, but he didn't say anything more about it. After a pause, he took out something like a small lucky bag from his arms.
"I didn't believe in these things at first, but I heard from people in Beijing that the amulets at Ci'en Temple are very effective, so I went to get one. You can take it with you to have peace of mind."
Looking at the amulet in Wei Chu's hand, Su Rui hesitated.
The amulets from Ci'en Temple are indeed effective, but it is not easy to ask for them.
Unlike the royal temple Fahua Temple, Ci'en Temple is a thousand-year-old temple with only a dozen monks guarding it. It stands on the top of a mountain and carriages are not allowed to go up the mountain. Common people, rich people, and even the emperor of the current dynasty have to climb the mountain by themselves.
There are 5,666 steps to climb up. If you want to get the amulet, you can't just climb up and spend money. You need to worship sincerely all the way up the mountain, practice diligently in the temple for three days, throw the holy cup in front of the Buddha, and get the blessing before you can get the amulet.
It is also because of the sincerity and hard work that everyone says that this amulet is extremely effective.
Like her, Wei Chu never believed in gods or Buddhas. It must be that when her life was in danger, he was desperate and tried all kinds of treatment, including asking for help from gods and Buddhas.
Su Rui was grateful to him, but also understood his thoughts.
If I accept this amulet...
"Brother Wei, even before..."
Before Su Rui could finish her words, a figure quickly flashed out from the hall. Before they could react, a hand stretched out from between the two of them, quickly snatching the amulet from Wei Chu's hand, which he had not had time to take back. At the same time, the hand squeezed in, and just moved sideways to separate the two people who were originally close to each other.
The air was filled with sandalwood, and there was no other scent. It was not even close enough to be noticed. Su Rui frowned.
"The amulet from Ci'en Temple is indeed effective, but it can only be realized by the person himself or his blood relative, or by a couple who prays for it. The one you prayed for can only be kept by you." Yun Ji handed the amulet back to Wei Chu.
Wei Chu didn't expect Yun Ji to be able to hear everything so well. He could hear something so soft and close to him. He couldn't be a dog.
"The audience hasn't ended yet. It's not right for Your Highness to come out without permission." Wei Chu was already angry because he was the one who put Su Rui's life on the line, and now his tone was even more unfriendly.
"The Empress has summoned Princess Dongyue to view the flowers. The audience has concluded, and the Guard Commander should return to his position."
After he finished speaking, the officials behind him came out one after another. Although they didn't dare to look openly, they all glanced over here secretly out of the corner of their eyes.
Princess Dongyue followed Queen Lin to the harem, and the matter of protection fell to the Yulin Guards and the palace guards. The city defense camp's protection mission for today was over, and Wei Chu needed to take his men back to report.
Although he was unwilling, he really couldn't force Su Rui.
"Now that the audience is over, Your Highness still has a lot of things to do, and there will be a dinner tonight. Please don't worry about this little matter of mine." Wei Chu was about to take back the amulet, but Su Rui took the amulet from Yun Ji first.
"Since the Empress has invited Princess Dongyue to enjoy the flowers, I must go to the harem and wait. I'll go ahead."
Without waiting for the two to react, Su Rui bowed and turned with Luo E, then walked towards the harem from the other side.
Not only Yun Ji was stunned, but even Wei Chu was stunned as well.
Although he asked for the amulet and took it out, he also knew that Su Rui would probably not accept it. However, since there was a little hope, he wanted to give it a try.
But I never thought that Su Rui would accept it just like that.
Thinking back, Wei Chu realized something and asked Yun Ji, "Did you make her angry, my Lord?"
Yun Ji was still confused. When did he make her angry?
Yesterday, after she left the city gate, she went to Fengyun Tower. After returning home, she did not let anyone inform him and fell asleep first. He just thought she was tired. Seeing that she was still sleeping soundly this morning, he did not wake her up.
After the morning court session, he was worried that she might be tired because of what happened yesterday, so he wanted to rush back to comfort her and accompany her to the post station to make her feel more at ease.
As a result, when they were halfway there, they heard that she had already left the house.
It would be disadvantageous for him to rush to the post station again, so he returned to the palace and waited for her to arrive with the Dongyue delegation.
As a result, before she could finish her words, she took Wei Chu's amulet and left.
Because he stopped it?
It shouldn't be.
But seeing Wei Chu's eyes full of desire for an opportunity, Yun Ji said solemnly: "I will never make her angry, don't even think about it!"
