Chapter 82: Give up Yun Ji and join the arms of the eldest prince?
Su Rui didn't look back, but just looked at the sea of flowers and asked with a wry smile, "Your Highness, do you think I have a choice?"
"If you want, I can help you."
"Oh?" Su Rui turned her head and looked at the eldest prince tenderly. She raised her hand and placed it on his arm and asked, "Then how can Your Highness help me?"
"If you are willing, you can come to my house and be a lady-in-waiting. Apart from anything else, I can guarantee your safety for the rest of your life." The eldest prince was sincere, as if he admired her from the bottom of his heart and supported her instead of giving her charity.
Female official.
It's actually a good way out, much better than that bastard Yun Ji asking her to marry the eldest prince.
Unfortunately, female officials alone are not enough.
Furthermore, the eldest prince was short-lived, and the conditions were not sufficient to support her to change direction.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. Unfortunately, my feelings for Mr. Yun Ji are not just due to the emperor's order. I truly love him. I would rather drink from just one of the vast oceans." Su Rui withdrew her hand, and her powerlessness made her look even more infatuated and pitiful.
"In that case, I won't force you, but I will keep my promise. If you want to come to my house that day, just come."
Su Rui smiled without saying anything. The two of them sat on their horses and watched the sun set before heading back.
When I walked outside Yunji's main tent, it was already dark. The lights were on inside the tent. I could see a figure kneeling on a cushion and hear the sound of a wooden fish.
"It seems that your method is not effective." The eldest prince helped Su Rui off the horse and smiled helplessly at her.
Listening to the wooden fish sound, Su Rui felt even more irritated. This bastard was really determined, but he could only say, "Yes, I still have a long way to go."
"Take good care of yourself first." After sending Su Rui to the door of the secondary tent, the eldest prince personally opened the curtain for her.
Su Rui walked into the tent and saluted the eldest prince before he got back on his horse.
Feeling the remaining warmth of Ma'anshan, he glanced at Yun Ji's figure reflected in the main tent, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and turned to ride away.
And no one noticed that the sound of Yun Ji's wooden fish was interrupted when Su Rui came back.
For the next three days, Yun Ji went back and forth between the hunting ground and the tent every day.
He prayed for the souls of the dead prey in the hunting ground and chanted scriptures and recited Buddha's name in the tent. Even if Su Rui, the evil woman who existed to prevent him from becoming a monk, was not by his side as a shield, others would no longer forget that Yun Ji was devoted to Buddhism and only wanted to become a monk.
By the way, the rumor that the emperor made such an arrangement because he was displeased with the eldest prince was also self-defeating. No one would think that the emperor arranged Yun Ji, who would never give up his monkhood, to preside over the autumn hunt because he had other intentions towards the crown prince. This would not shake anyone.
Perhaps, he simply felt that the eldest prince was not yet capable of taking on the responsibility, so he let Yun Ji pave the way for him to the throne first.
As for Su Rui, she no longer appeared in front of Yun Ji since she decided to leave him alone. She lay peacefully in the tent every day, took medicine on time, ate on time, and slept on time. She would only come out when the eldest prince came to deliver medicine and game.
The same is true today.
The eldest prince had just sent someone to deliver the hunted venison, and Su Rui had just lifted the curtain when she saw Yun Ji returning from the hunting ground.
The two exchanged glances, and Su Rui then turned to the attendant who was delivering the venison and said, "Bring it in. Go back and thank His Highness for me."
The attendant knew that Yun Ji was not far behind him, so he didn't dare to look and quickly delivered the venison into Su Rui's tent, put it down and left.
Su Rui was about to lower the curtain, but this time Zhuiyue blocked her movement first.
"Sir, what do you mean? I'm still sick and need some meat to supplement my nutrition. I can't be a vegetarian like you." Su Rui asked in a flash, but her tone was light.
There was no more coquettishness or deliberate flattery as in the past, just a calm statement of facts.
Not to mention Yun Ji, even Zhui Yue was shocked.
In the past, when Su Rui saw Yun Ji, she would be like a moth to a flame, flying towards him and trying her best to cling to him. She would never be as silent as she has been in the past few days, and now she seems like a stranger.
Looking at the venison in the tent, is he giving up Yun Ji and turning to the eldest prince?
Yun Ji's expression didn't change at all. He just walked towards his destination and said, "We have to go back to the city. Pack your things. Zhuiyue will drive you back."
After saying that, the man went into the tent.
Su Rui cursed the heartless man in her heart, pulled down the curtain and returned to the tent, listening to the usual sound of the wooden fish while cleaning up and cursing.
After a few days of drying, there is no other effect. Neither softness nor hardness works. This bastard is unyielding.
It seems that we need to change our strategy again.
But Su Rui had no idea how to change it, and she still found nothing when she returned to the courtyard.
I simply took the medicine and fell asleep again.
Yun Ji, who returned to Feiyun Pavilion, was in a state of anxiety and struck the wooden fish in vain several times.
Even though he had been reciting scriptures and chanting Buddha's name every day these days, clearing his mind over and over again, he was still attracted by Su Rui.
Turning his head and looking out the side window, he saw that the courtyard was still quiet and there was no sign of Su Rui.
My heart is in turmoil again.
Yun Ji closed his eyes tightly and hit the wooden fish hammer in his hand harder and harder.
…
The next day.
As soon as Su Rui opened the door, she saw Xier standing in the yard.
Seeing Su Rui, Xier extended the thing in her hand and said, "Marquis Yong'an wants to change Zhou Yao's surname and sent an invitation today."
Su Rui took the invitation and could tell from the style that all the noble families in Shengjing City were invited.
What a grand ceremony.
She wanted to stop the loss in time and marry Zhou Yao off before her reputation was ruined by her, and at the same time restore the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion that had been lost because of her and Su Ye.
Looking at Xier's other hand, there was another piece of paper.
"What's this?"
"Bai Xiaotong sent it." Xier raised her hand and handed it over.
After taking it and taking a look at it, Su Rui put it in her arms with satisfaction and said, "Go back and keep watching."
After sending Xier away, Su Rui looked up at the corner of the eaves of Feiyun Pavilion in the distance. Originally, he wanted to switch to a radical way to tease her again today, but now he has no time.
Never mind, it’s been drying for many days already, it won’t hurt to dry it for two more days.
Thinking of this, Su Rui followed the mountain road to Fozhuang.
But before they reached the archway at the entrance of the village, they saw the old village chief leading a group of people out, among whom Ruirui's father was holding a child in his hands.
It’s not Xiao Ruirui, but the wolf cub.
"Miss Su! You are finally here. We were just about to look for you!" Before Su Rui could ask about the situation, the old village chief came up quickly as if he had seen a savior.
Su Rui could probably guess what was going on, but she still pretended to be stupid and asked, "What happened?"
"Miss Su, you are our benefactor. We shouldn't have come looking for you, but we really have trouble disciplining this child you sent us. He has turned our village upside down these past few days. Look, he almost broke Ruirui's hand."
Little Ruirui came out, his only remaining hand was bandaged, tears still on his pitiful face.
"And he cut off so much of my beard." The old village chief shook off his beard, and Su Rui saw that the inside had been cut off, with only the outer layer barely covering it.
"And he killed all my chickens."
"And my dog. He was so mean. He tied me up and skinned me alive. My poor dog cried all night in the mountains before he died."
