Chapter 303: We are all smart people, waiting for the follow-up
He had originally prepared a lot of speeches, but they were stuck in his throat after being choked by Su Rui. He couldn't get them up or down, and Lord Wu almost suffocated.
He took a deep breath before finally swallowing it.
Seeing Su Rui's beautiful eyes staring at him, as if they could see through everything, Lord Wu couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
The prepared words are useless, but if I speak directly...
But thinking of what was about to happen, he could only bite the bullet and say, "Today I am here to ask the concubine to come out of retirement."
"Come out of the mountains? Concubine Su is not an old Taoist priest living in the deep mountains and forests. What Lord Wu said is very strange." Yue Heyun giggled.
Lord Wu's face turned red with embarrassment because of the laughter.
She also understood that the other party was speaking for Su Rui. If he didn't make his point clear today, then he would just keep beating around the bush. Anyway, they weren't the ones who were anxious.
"Yes, please ask the concubine to continue to receive Princess Dongyue." After saying this, Lord Wu felt that his old face fell to the ground in an instant. He was so embarrassed.
"Ask me to continue receiving the princess? If I remember correctly, Lord Wu was also present at the palace banquet that day." Su Rui asked with a frown, as if he doubted whether he had forgotten something.
Lord Wu couldn't even raise his eyes, and didn't dare to look at Su Rui at all.
Not only was he present at the palace banquet that day, he was there from the very beginning, from the moment Yun Ji and Princess Dong Yue met in front of the Taiji Hall, to Su Rui's whispers as a couple, to Princess Dong Yue's naked stare at Yun Ji and her proposal for marriage, to Su Rui kicking over the table and leaving angrily.
He saw it all and understood that Su Rui and Rong Huan had taken on the feud, but he also saw Queen Lin's cooperation and Rong Huan's willingness to take advantage of the situation. Naturally, he knew that there was a mixture of true feelings and falsehood in this, and everyone had their own ideas.
Since it had nothing to do with him, he chose to turn a deaf and dumb.
Who would have thought that Rong Huan would hold on to her feelings and was not satisfied with the reception given by several wives of officials. She almost gritted her teeth and begged the old princess for help, but the old princess happened to be ill.
Today, Rong Huan insisted on going to the Fahua Temple to burn incense, saying that Su Rui had lived outside the Fahua Temple for several months and was familiar with the monks in the temple, so it would be best for her to accompany them.
Things had come to this point, and Lord Wu had no choice but to come and beg for mercy.
"I understand that this is indeed an injustice to my concubine, but for the sake of the Great Zhao, please trouble me..."
"Then why didn't Lord Wu tell Princess Dongyue? Was it for Dongyue's sake?" Yue Heyun interrupted Lord Wu unhappily.
Mr. Wu has a lot of grievances that he cannot express.
How could he dare to say this? What if Princess Dongyue turned against him because of this? Wouldn't it be a diplomatic incident? Even if he didn't lose his head, it would be recorded in history books and he would be scolded by millions of people in the future. His family line would be finished.
Although it sounds harsh to say this, Su Rui is a concubine after all, and her status is much lower than Rong Huan. Offending her will not cause a war.
People always pick on the softest persimmons, let alone people.
But Mr. Wu also understood that he should not go too far.
"Concubine Su, don't worry. I, along with the entire Honglu Temple, the entire Shengjing, and the Great Zhao, are aware that you have been wronged. We will certainly stand by you. The historical records will clearly record your contributions to the Great Zhao. In the future, if you have any instructions, I, along with everyone in the Honglu Temple, will follow them without hesitation. I beg Concubine Su to save the Honglu Temple and the people of the Great Zhao."
As he spoke, Lord Wu clasped his hands together, bent down and was about to bow.
Looking down, he saw that they were about to bow down, but Su Rui showed no sign of stopping them. Lord Wu secretly thought that something was wrong.
I have already set the conditions, put Su Rui on the spot, and even offered her a gift. If she is not being stubborn and refusing, there is nothing I can do to her.
this……
Just as beads of sweat were popping up on his forehead, a beautiful, slender hand finally supported his arm when his sight reached his toes.
Lord Wu looked up in surprise and looked at Su Rui, tears welling up in his eyes with excitement.
God knows how much hair he has lost in the past few days, but fortunately, fortunately his career has been saved.
"I cannot accept such a generous gift from Lord Wu. Since Lord Wu has spoken so, as a citizen of the Great Zhao and the prince's concubine, it would be unreasonable for me not to accept it. However, I have one condition."
"The concubine said frankly that as long as this humble official can do it, she will not refuse." As long as Su Rui is willing to go and solve this urgent problem, and doesn't want his life and career, everything will be fine.
Su Rui did not speak in a hurry, but moved closer to Lord Wu and whispered her conditions.
The excitement and relief on Lord Wu's face gradually froze, and his eyes were full of struggle.
Su Rui was not in a hurry to urge him, but took a step back after she finished speaking, waiting for him to consider whether it was worth it. After all, he had other things pressing him and had no time to think about it.
Tick.
Another drop of water dripped from the clepsydra in the corner, and the ruler moved up one notch, but there was no time left.
"Okay!" Lord Wu gritted his teeth and agreed. "The carriage is waiting outside, Concubine, we need to hurry."
"I'll go with you." Yue Heyun and Su Rui walked together.
"It's all right, it's all right, let's go quickly, it's really too late." He didn't care about much else. Yue Heyun was also a girl, so having one more wouldn't be a problem. Lord Wu wanted to pull the two of them out.
Su Rui glanced at Yue Heyun. It was difficult for her to say anything in front of Lord Wu, so she got into the carriage with Yue Heyun. When they reached the noisy streets, she asked, "Why did you wade into this mess?"
"Everyone in Shengjing knows that my Yue family is on the side of Prince Yong. We have a good relationship, so we have to get involved in this muddy water. A little more, a little less, what does it matter? With my bulging belly, even Princess Dongyue would be afraid of me." He patted his bulging belly lightly, as if he was wearing a perfect shield.
I understand that she was trying to protect herself and her child's life.
Even if there were personal interests involved, Yue Heyun didn't have to go to such lengths. They became friends without even realizing it.
In her past and present lives, Su Rui actually has no friends and doesn't know how to make friends.
But now, it seems there are two.
"Besides, although Lord Wu is a cunning and cowardly person, he will definitely do what he says. Since you have agreed to go, we should do what we should do."
Su Rui didn't agree to go, but she had to go today no matter what.
After the Ronghuan Palace Banquet, she revealed her feelings for Yun Ji. She knew this day would come. Although Queen Lin did not take any action, she was watching her reaction and performance.
Those who acted that time were all smart people, waiting for the sequel.
If you want to know Rong Huan's true purpose, you have to contact her to look for clues, and also prevent the so-called "love turns to hate" later.
But Su Rui would not tell Yue Heyun about this.
What Yue Heyun said makes sense. Friends should not care about too many things.
