Chapter 305 Only you can overcome your own calamity
Rong Huan revealed a distressed expression and said anxiously, "What should I do? Concubine Su cannot live with men like Lord Wu. The people accompanying me today, except Huai Shuang and Lord Lin, are all maids. Concubine Su... would you be willing to share a room with a maid?"
How could it be possible for a prince's concubine to live in the same room with a maid, let alone the maid of Princess Dongyue?
Considering Su Rui's current situation with Rong Huan, if she were to live there, wouldn't it mean that in Rong Huan's eyes, the prince's concubine would be no different from her maidservant?
No matter which way you go, it's a dead end.
Today, Rong Huan wanted to torture Su Rui.
Unless he quits now, he is already here and is involved in too many things. Even if Lord Wu says that he is protecting Su Rui, for such a matter where sacrificing one person can save everything, he will almost always find a balance point that does not bring shame to the Great Zhao and persuade Su Rui to compromise, so that Rong Huan can vent the anger she felt at the last palace banquet.
"Of course I don't want to." Su Rui replied without hesitation.
Lord Wu shuddered again and was about to say something, but when he met Su Rui's gaze, he could only shrink back.
"It's the princess who's going to burn incense, not me. There's no need to be still and focused, so it doesn't matter whether I stay in the meditation room or not. Tomorrow, I'll be accompanying the princess, so I just need to stay close enough so I don't delay her. My old courtyard outside the Fahua Temple isn't the only place where people can live. The prince has left a small private residence on Wangyue Peak, and I'll stay there."
Moon-Watching Peak?
Lord Wu and his officials from the Honglu Temple were unaware of the existence of this place and suspected that Su Rui had fabricated it to avoid criticism. If it was exposed, wouldn't it be...
Pei Yan used to be a close friend of the eldest prince. After hearing the eldest prince mention Wangyue Peak twice, he walked over to Lord Wu and gently reminded him.
Upon hearing that there really was such a place, a place that even the secret guards were forbidden to go to except Yun Ji, Lord Wu was overjoyed and said, "Wangyue Peak is great! It was originally a place that the prince left for his concubine to rest, and it just happened to come in handy today."
After all, he is Lord Wu, his mind is as quick as his mouth. Without a second thought, he turned Wangyue Peak into a resting place specially left by Yun Ji for Su Rui. Even though Rong Huan is now in love with Yun Ji, Yun Ji has not responded at all. This matter has not even started yet, but Yun Ji's favor for Su Rui is already known to everyone in Da Zhao. It is normal for him to specially leave a place exclusively for the two of them.
Even Rong Huan couldn't find fault with this matter anymore.
"Does Her Royal Highness the Princess want to stay in the meditation room?" Hui Ming asked at the right time.
"Of course." Rong Huan's expression didn't reveal her joy or anger in her response.
"Your subordinate and the concubine will escort the eldest princess to the meditation room to rest." Lord Wu took the opportunity to lead the way in, stretched out his hand and stepped inside, signaling Hui Ming to leave quickly with his eyes.
Su Rui followed slowly. After entering the temple, perhaps because he was concerned that this was a quiet place for Buddhism, or perhaps because the matter of moving in today had already been decided and it would be difficult to stir up trouble, the whole journey to the North Courtyard was very peaceful.
After sending Rong Huan, Dong Yue and the others into the meditation room, Lord Wu went to arrange tomorrow's affairs with the people from Fahua Temple. Su Rui was led by Hui Ming to the mountain gate.
When they reached a quiet place, Su Rui asked, "Did the prince pay for the renovation of the meditation room?"
Hui Ming nodded. "The prince had already deposited a sum of money in the temple, but he never specified what it was used for. A few days ago, news arrived saying it was to be used to renovate the meditation rooms. Master Yun Yi immediately ordered the demolition of all the rooms except for the North Courtyard. Since it's not the Buddhist season these days, they haven't announced it publicly."
It sounds very reasonable, but Yun Ji had already put the money here in case of emergency.
Now is the time to use it.
When Ronghuan sent someone to deliver something to Yanzhou, Yun Ji should have thought of this day.
Even though it is still unclear whether Rong Huan's purpose is as she said, she still takes precautions and does not give Rong Huan any chance to get involved with her.
She was very self-disciplined, but that fragrance...
Su Rui was tangled up again, but she quickly suppressed her thoughts, not letting those wild thoughts pop up.
"Pei Yan! Let go!"
"What if I don't?"
Just as I was trying to calm down, I heard a quarrel coming from the front.
It’s Yue Heyun and Pei Yan!
Yue Heyun did not follow Pei Yan into the temple just now in order to avoid Pei Yan's accompanying guards. She did not expect Pei Yan to be so fast and actually left the temple before her.
Thinking of Yue Heyun's belly, Su Rui immediately took two quick steps.
Pei Yan was seen tightly grasping Yue Heyun's wrist with such force that a red mark could be seen from a distance. His eyes were red with anger, and he was obviously enraged. He stared at Yue Heyun eagerly, and his other hand was already raised to...
"Deputy Commander Pei!" Su Rui shouted, trotting forward. Seeing him tightly grasping Yue Heyun's wrist, she said, "Miss Yue is here with me to receive the Princess. What is Deputy Commander Pei trying to do?"
Seeing Su Rui, Pei Yan's expression turned even more unhappy. "You shouldn't have let her get involved in this mess!"
"I insisted on coming here on my own initiative. It has nothing to do with Concubine Su."
Yue Heyun retorted, struggling even harder. Pei Yan was so angry that he couldn't help but roar, "What kind of magic potion did she give you? For her, you even ignored yourself and our child?"
"It's my child, not ours." Yue Heyun corrected Pei Yan. "Deputy Commander Pei, you and I are no longer husband and wife. You have no right to dictate anything to me. Besides, men and women shouldn't touch each other. Or is it that Deputy Commander Pei is willing to be cuckolded?"
Which man would like to wear a green hat?
Even though Pei Yan knew that the child in Yue Heyun's belly was his, he could not tell anyone else that the child was not his. Moreover, he still had some doubts in his heart. If it was really...
Seeing the hesitation and suspicion in Pei Yan's eyes, Su Rui felt sick for Yue Heyun. Her tone turned cold and she said, "Deputy Commander Pei, don't forget that you are here today to protect Princess Dongyue. We are heading to Wangyue Peak. Let go."
Pei Yan knew that Su Rui had secret guards around him. As long as he didn't let go, the secret guards would come out the next moment to force him to let go, causing a commotion and alarming Dongyue's people, which would be a real disgrace to Dongyue.
Even if you are unwilling, you can only slowly let go in the end.
Su Rui pulled Yue Heyun back onto the carriage and headed all the way to Fangxin on Wangyue Peak.
In the carriage, Yue Heyun looked depressed. She didn't know what Pei Yan had said to her, and Su Rui didn't ask her. After all, everyone has places in their hearts that they don't want to be touched by others, and only they can lick their wounds by themselves.
"Stop the car." Yue Heyun suddenly spoke.
The carriage stopped. She hesitated for a moment, then looked at Su Rui and asked, "Concubine Su, I...I don't want to go to Fozhuang. Can I live in the courtyard where you used to live?"
"Are you sure?"
Yue Heyun nodded, "Pei Yan won't go to that place."
After all, it was because of him that Yue Heyun had to face Pei Yan today. Su Rui felt guilty, so he agreed to her request and watched her get out of the car and head towards the courtyard.
Only you can overcome your own tribulation, and she also has her own tribulation.
Without staying for long, Su Rui continued to head towards Wangyue Peak.
