Chapter 34: Let Yunji have me in his heart
Their breathing was intertwined, and at such close distance they could even see the fine hairs on each other's cheeks, as well as her lips which had turned pale due to blood loss.
The long and dense eyelashes fluttered like a fan, with tiny drops of water hanging on them as they trembled slightly.
When it should be moved away.
But at this moment, Yun Ji seemed to be enlightened, staring at her straightly, with something wanting to burst out from the bottom of his heart.
When I wanted to get closer, she suddenly smiled like a blooming peony.
"If I have to argue, I will argue in front of you, sir, and ask you to love and care for me." Su Rui said jokingly, and was about to throw herself into his arms.
Yun Ji took a step back, leaving her empty-handed.
Standing at the bottom of the stairs, looking at her, there was a hint of anger in his eyes.
Su Rui was stunned.
What's wrong? Are you angry?
She didn't touch him, and she knew he would definitely dodge, so she didn't even use any feinting tactics.
"It's getting late, just wait here." After saying that, Yun Ji turned around and left.
Su Rui was puzzled. After reviewing the situation several times, she didn't feel that she had done anything to anger him. Could it be that he blamed her injury for causing this series of troubles?
With Yun Ji's broad mind, he shouldn't mind it since he brought her here to change clothes.
Unable to figure it out, Su Rui could only choose to be obedient and wait in the side room.
When the time came, he held up the Buddhist scriptures that Yunji had personally selected, and followed Huiming and a group of monks from the Fahua Temple to the altar.
All the officials and noble ladies were already standing respectfully on both sides of the altar. Yun Ji, wearing a robe embroidered with gold thread, climbed up the steps step by step to the platform.
The midday sun shone all over him, making the golden threads sparkle, but it couldn't outshine his handsome and extraordinary facial features, which made the noble ladies in the audience feel amorous and fantasize.
Among them was Tang Yuli. Like Changning, she stood at the front, closest to the group. Although she was not as shy and embarrassed as the other noble ladies, her cheeks were slightly flushed.
It seems that the two of them are indeed a good match, both in appearance and birth, they look like a perfect match.
Not like Su Rui.
Everyone watched Su Rui following Yun Ji's footsteps upwards, and suddenly felt that she was the seductive demon that destroyed the gods and Buddhas.
But Queen Lin protected her. Previously, they all went to Queen Lin to request that Su Rui not be allowed to burn scriptures and pray today, but Queen Lin refused them because it was the decision of Fahua Temple.
She is the current queen. How dare Fahua Temple disobey her words?
It must be because of Yun Ji's face that the god who has never fallen into the mortal world couldn't resist the temptation of this demon.
A cold murderous intent flashed in Changning's eyes, and he whispered something in Tang Yuli's ear.
Tang Yuli said something in embarrassment, then fell silent. He could only look up at Su Rui who had already walked up to the altar with reluctance.
Not knowing what happened in the audience, Su Rui stood in front of the huge incense burner with Buddhist scriptures as instructed.
All the people in the Fahua Temple stood still, and the double-layered silk canopy used by the emperor appeared on the other side, and then two bright yellow figures came into view.
Queen Lin still looks as graceful as ever, wearing the queen's robe and a twelve-flower crown on her head, she exudes the aura of a mother of the country.
But the emperor beside him was not in good condition. Even though he was wearing a luxurious dragon robe, a crown, and the dangling pearl necklace covered his face, it was obvious that his complexion was abnormally gray.
The wind blew the dragon robe tightly against his body in places, and the emperor's thin figure could be vaguely seen. Even with the support of the eunuchs beside him, every step seemed to be very strenuous.
This is what it means to be haggard.
The emperor's health is not just ill, but he is already on the verge of death.
Su Rui's soul was trapped in the Yong'an Marquis Mansion in her previous life. She met Yun Ji one year after the present. At that time, Yun Ji was already the emperor, but Su Rui did not know when he ascended the throne.
But from the looks of it now, it won't be long.
No wonder the emperor only gave her one month.
Then she couldn't take it slow any longer. Not only did she have to complete the task given by the emperor, but she also had to make Yun Ji think of her.
After all, Tang Yuli was standing right below. Once Yunji gave up on becoming a monk, whether the emperor wanted Yunji to succeed him or Yunji himself, they would complete the marriage before the emperor's death and get the support of Prince Long's lineage.
If she couldn't hold on to Yun Ji's thigh, even if she didn't die, she wouldn't be able to get her things back, which would be the same as death.
Looking at Yun Ji reciting scriptures in front of the altar, and thinking about his inexplicable anger before, Su Rui secretly made a decision in his heart.
After Yun Ji finished reciting the scriptures, Su Rui, under the guidance of other monks, put the scriptures into the incense burner to burn, followed by a long sacrifice.
The sacrifice did not end until dusk.
The emperor's face had become even uglier after enduring the entire ceremony. After it was over, he was immediately helped away by someone, and the rest was left to Empress Lin and the Ministry of Rites.
People eat vegetarian food on Buddha's birthday, and as Su Rui is from Fahua Temple, he is naturally grouped with the monks of Fahua Temple.
Without so many eyes, it is easier for her to act.
While everyone was having dinner, he slipped out from the hole in the corner of the palace wall and relied on his memory to get to the inner palace gate.
All the carriages of Fahua Temple were parked here. Since there were no valuables inside, the guards naturally didn't pay much attention to it.
Sniffing the scent carefully, Su Rui quickly locked onto Yun Ji's carriage and quickly got in while the guard turned around.
Lifting the lid of the incense burner, Su Rui took out an incense ball from the small bag she carried with her and threw it in, letting the fragrance gradually permeate the carriage.
All she had to do next was wait.
Waiting for Yunji to come.
…
Dinner was over, thunder rumbled, and Yun Ji left the noisy banquet. The oppression of the palace and the emperor's words gave him a headache again.
He took off his gold-threaded brocade robe and handed it to Huiming. Just as he was about to quicken his pace to walk out of the palace, a figure jogged towards him from the direction of the back garden.
"Mr. Yunji." Tang Yuli stopped and looked at Yunji, who was more than a head taller than him. Slightly shy, he took out a Buddhist scripture from behind his back and handed it to him. "I've been reading this scripture recently, and there are a few things I don't understand. I wonder if you can help me clear up some confusion."
The person in front of him was a stranger, but Yun Ji knew that she was the only daughter of General Tang, whom the emperor had repeatedly warned about, and his original fiancée, Tang Yuli.
The emperor's angry words were still ringing in his ears. Yun Ji felt annoyed, but he also knew that he should not implicate the innocent people in front of him.
He took the Buddhist scriptures and said politely, "We need to hurry back to the temple today. I will take the scriptures with me and annotate them and have someone deliver them to Prince Long's palace."
Seeing that Yunji did not refuse him, Tang Yuli immediately smiled happily and said repeatedly, "No need to trouble the master in the temple. Sir, tell me a time and I will go to Fahua Temple to get it myself."
This was in accordance with Su Rui's request for the next meeting. Seizing the opportunity was similar to Su Rui's, but she was not as shameless as her.
"About ten days later. It's going to rain heavily soon. Miss Tang should come back early."
After saying this, Yun Ji took the scriptures and left.
After a few more rumbling thunders, heavy rain suddenly fell, and the palace was instantly shrouded in the sound of pouring rain.
When they were halfway there, everyone rushed to the carriage. Although Yun Ji was holding an umbrella, most of his lower robe was wet. He opened the door and what caught his eye was the dim light of a candle and a beautiful figure in the light.
"Mr. Yunji."
