Chapter 79 I don’t want to tease that hard, smelly, cold stone
Su Rui fainted on the way back to the tent.
Yun Ji carried her all the way back to the tent, ignoring the way other people's eyes wandered between the two of them.
"Master, the imperial physician is waiting outside the tent." Zhuiyue reminded.
"Let them leave the medicine box behind and go back."
Zhuiyue was surprised. How could Su Rui survive with such a serious injury without the help of an imperial physician?
But Yun Ji walked straight into the tent and did as he was told without saying much. He took the medicine boxes of several imperial doctors who were hesitant to speak, put them into the tent, and hid them in the dark.
Yun Ji put Su Rui on the tiger-skin bed. She was completely exhausted and her whole body was limp, but her hands were tightly grasping the corner of Yun Ji's robe, as if that was her only life-saving straw.
Yun Ji did not force her hand open, but gently took her pulse, frowning slightly.
The little bit of energy that I managed to regain in the past half month was gone again.
Yun Ji suppressed the annoyance and anger in his heart, and while silently reciting the Heart Cleansing Mantra, he used scissors to cut open Su Rui's bloodstained clothes.
With the experience of taking care of her last time at Wangyue Peak, Yun Ji had become much more familiar with it. He gently wiped her wound with a wet cloth, disinfected it with strong liquor, applied medicine, and wrapped the wound with clean gauze.
And after doing all this, Su Rui's expression didn't change at all, making people feel that she would leave at any time, so Yun Ji had to hold her pulse tightly to check her condition at all times.
He was a little scared and a little confused.
He had originally concluded that he only had desire for Su Rui and was not attracted to her.
He didn't believe anything she said.
But when he heard the news that she fell into the zoo, everything changed. He couldn't watch her die calmly, as if it was not just because he had to rely on her to survive this disaster.
He held Su Rui's wrist with one hand and twirled the rosary with the other, chanting scriptures all night long.
…
Su Rui opened her eyes due to the cold and saw that the window curtains were rustling in the wind. The autumn wind kept blowing towards her, as if she was back in the cold winter at the border, with only a straw mat to keep her warm.
But the quilt wrapped around her body clearly told her that this was not the borderland.
But it wasn't much better for Su Rui.
This is a subsidiary account, not Yunji's main account.
He left her here, proving that even when her life was hanging by a thread, the bastard had no more compassion.
Moreover, she saw the wooden box at the end of the bed, which was the one she had hidden under Yun Ji's bed.
Just as she was feeling frustrated, Xier came in from outside, holding a medicine bowl and pulling the curtains open. After closing the window curtains that had been blown open by the wind, she brought the medicine to Su Rui's bedside and said, "Miss, take the medicine."
Smelling the medicine, Su Rui immediately asked, "Did the eldest prince send ginseng?"
"Yes, the imperial physician added it to the medicine."
"How many days have I been in a coma? Who has come to see me?" Su Rui asked.
"Two days ago, the Empress, the Crown Prince, the Marquis of Yong'an, and Prince Su came here."
"Where's Yunji?"
Xier shook her head, "No."
So heartless!
Su Rui drank the medicine in anger and asked, "Hou Yong'an Hou and Su Ye came to beg me for help?"
"Yes, the Empress punished Prince Su, stripping him of his title, dismissing him from his military post, and punishing him with thirty lashes of the cane. He has already been beaten and dragged back to the Marquis's residence."
Thirty lashes of the cane, then Su Ye doesn't seem to be much better than her at this moment.
Zhou Yao got a bargain.
She was unconscious and could not be identified on the spot. As time passed, the paper in the bundle had long since rotted away and could not be identified.
Changning was in cahoots with her, and even if he was dissatisfied with her for almost killing Tang Yuli, he would not expose her.
But this doesn't mean that Zhou Yao can get away with it. She must be extremely anxious right now.
"Go back home and keep an eye on it."
Xier took the order and went out. Su Rui lay flat on the bed and looked at the ceiling of the tent. She was really tired and didn't want to touch the hard, smelly and cold stone for the time being.
Meanwhile, at the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion, things were in chaos, just as Su Rui had imagined.
Su Ye was carried back this morning. He was covered in blood from waist to hips, without a single piece of good flesh.
He lay powerlessly on the bed, breathing more out than in, and was hanging on by a thread.
"Oh my God, why are you hitting me so hard? You're going to beat me to death." Madam Liang shouted, crying out loud.
"It's all his own fault! He deserves it!" Marquis Yong'an, who had rushed back early, shook his hand fiercely and sat on the big chair in the room.
"I heard that you just had a few arguments with Rui'er and accidentally pushed her. How could it be so serious that he had to be beaten like this?" Liang asked in confusion.
"Accident? Ask him, was it an accident or was it a long-planned act? You used your late mother's clothes to trick your own sister into going to the zoo, and then pushed her into the wild animal area to die. You... Su Ye, you are so vicious!"
Even though Marquis Yong'an disliked his ex-wife and even regarded her as a shame, he could not accept Su Ye doing such a thing with her remaining clothes.
The Zhang family had revealed all the secrets to everyone in the court, and he had completely lost face.
"How could this happen? How could Ye'er do that?" Liang covered her mouth in surprise. After thinking for a moment, she asked again, "Is there some misunderstanding? Did Rui'er say that?"
Su Ye mustered up his strength and looked at Zhou Yao, who was trying to explain that she was being used.
When Liuli said that, he hadn't reacted yet, but after the incident, he seemed to understand a little.
It was because Zhou Yao kept crying and talking about all the things Su Rui had done that he became more and more angry.
It was she who told him that there was no one guarding the zoo at night and that maybe he could scare Su Rui, which was why he came up with that idea.
Feeling Su Ye's suspicious eyes, Zhou Yao said pitifully before him: "There must be a misunderstanding. Big brother can't really hurt my sister. They are siblings."
"Also, my sister is so cruel. How could she watch my eldest brother being stripped of his title of Crown Prince, dismissed from his post, and beaten with so many sticks? It's obvious that if she had just asked Mr. Yunji for help, this wouldn't have happened. But she remained unconscious the entire time. I heard that my eldest brother woke up after the punishment. I wonder if it was just a coincidence."
When Su Ye heard that Su Rui woke up after he was beaten, he became furious and completely forgot about his suspicion of Zhou Yao.
Yes, Zhou Yao knew him well. He would not really kill Su Rui, so she said those things to him because she wanted to help him. It was an accident that he did not understand the situation in the zoo, but he did not do it on purpose.
That bitch Su Rui actually pretended to be unconscious and watched him being punished!
She had Yun Ji's support and the imperial physician's care, so that minor injury should have healed long ago. She must have been awake when he went to beg her that night, but she pretended to be unconscious and ignored him while listening to his begging!
Evil woman!
"She hurt me!" Su Ye roared with the last bit of strength he had, and then he fainted completely.
"Quick! Call the court doctor!" Liang shouted anxiously, looking at Su Ye who couldn't bear it and said to Yong'an Hou: "My Lord, it seems that Rui'er really hates us now. Even Ye'er is so unforgiving. I'm afraid it's useless to try to ease the relationship."
This time, Marquis Yong'an also saw through it. The heartless Su Rui really hated them. Even if he lowered his attitude, he was unwilling to consider the Marquis' Mansion at all. Instead, he would repay any harm a hundredfold and completely cut off Su Ye's path.
It's probably impossible to bring her back, and it will only cause greater losses to the Marquis' Mansion and myself.
Finally, Yong'an Hou's gaze fell on Zhou Yao, and after much deliberation, he said, "Let's prepare for Yao'er's surname change as soon as possible."
