Chapter 198 Danger and Protection Coexist
What did this maid just shout?
Is the concubine pregnant?
Is Su Rui pregnant?
Everyone looked over. Su Rui had already reached around her waist and tore off the binding cloth belt when she gave Luo E a look. Now she slightly straightened her waist. Although covered by the wide skirt, it was visible that there was something underneath.
If the skirt is loose and not hollow, then the belly must be six or seven months old, right?
Su Rui and Yun Ji got married...
"Or two?"
Xiaoru exclaimed again.
The twins' belly is big, so it fits the timing.
But why didn’t anyone notice it just now?
"Keep your voice down. I wanted to tell you a few days ago, but I couldn't tell you until March. Then I got busy with the Spring Banquet, so I didn't have time to tell you. Now if you want to stay here, it will be just you and me taking care of me, so I have to let you know."
Luo'e explained, and it sounded like she was explaining to Xiaoru, but others also understood the situation.
After all, Yun Ji was not at home, and Su Rui was pregnant with twins, which was really unsafe, so it was right to keep it a secret.
If he wants to stay here to look after Tang Yuli now, he naturally needs to inform the two people around him. Otherwise, who will be responsible if something goes wrong?
Although it was not told to others before, it must have been told to insiders. Yun Ji must know about it, so there must be no mistakes.
"I understand, concubine. I will take good care of you and won't let anything happen to you!" Xiaoru ran to Su Rui's side, looked at Su Rui's round belly and wondered why she hadn't noticed anything for so long. It was really strange.
Su Rui smiled and said that the girl was innocent. She had not been allowed to serve him closely for these days and she did not notice anything wrong.
Fortunately, her loud voice came in handy, and she coordinated with Luo E so that everyone present could hear clearly that she was pregnant with twins. Once she walked out of this door, the whole Shengjing City would know about it.
Queen Lin and the Second Prince did not want to put her under house arrest, but wanted to get rid of the baby in her belly while she was under house arrest.
For the first time, Su Rui felt more intuitively that Queen Lin had great influence.
No matter how well he covered it up, it was almost transparent in Queen Lin's eyes.
Moreover, Queen Lin must have known about it very early, so she wove this net to catch and kill.
Fortunately, she was always worried that things were not complete, so she and Luo'e made an eye contact signal. If there was any abnormality, they would make the pregnancy public.
Danger and protection coexist.
Just like now.
Since she couldn't escape the consequence of being placed under house arrest, and her pregnancy was made public, if anything happened to her and the baby in her belly in Fu Garden, the first people that everyone would think of would be the Second Prince and the Tang family.
Unless she dies first and Yun Ji dies soon after, otherwise, if she and her child die, Yun Ji, who now holds military power, can go to war with a good reputation; if Yun Ji dies, she will be pregnant with Yun Ji's posthumous child, and with Yun Ji's current reputation, someone will definitely keep this child for Yun Ji.
"It's just Miss Tang and I here. Besides you, there are only the people that the Second Prince has arranged to protect us. How could anything go wrong, right, Second Prince?"
Su Rui asked the second prince with a smile.
Their eyes met, and suddenly the Second Prince smiled. He nodded solemnly and said, "Of course. The Second Miss is my fiancée. Concubine Su is the Emperor's beloved and is pregnant. I shall protect her well."
After saying that, the smile deepened.
Tang Yuli's grip on Su Rui's hand tightened a little.
At this moment, the Second Prince no longer had any regard for Tang Yuli, and only had a little admiration for Su Rui.
I never expected Su Rui to react so quickly. She realized everything in a short period of time and decisively revealed her pregnancy.
What a quick judgment and decisive killing.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard I struggle, nothing can be changed.
"Next, I'll have to trouble Concubine Su."
After these words were spoken, except for Su Rui, Tang Yuli, and their maids, everyone else followed the Second Prince and Prince Long and quickly evacuated this dangerous place.
Only Changning walked out the door and then turned back, pointing at Su Rui's nose and saying, "This prince will have someone keep an eye on you. Don't even think about doing anything to Li Li. Otherwise, I will never let you and your baby go."
After saying that, Changning gave Tang Yuli another complicated look and finally left.
Liuli, who had been kept outside, was finally able to come in. Seeing her young lady in this state, she couldn't stop crying.
Looking at Su Rui's bulging belly, she knelt on the ground with guilt, kowtowed to Su Rui and said: "I'm sorry, I was in a hurry at the moment and didn't mean to trap you, I..."
Liuli didn't know how to explain it. Even now, her mind was still completely confused and she didn't know what was going on.
Why did the young lady go crazy? Why did she only recognize Su Rui? Why was Su Rui left behind and trapped here with the young lady?
No matter how nicely the Second Prince spoke, and even though she was just a little maid, it was obvious from the current situation that she was essentially under house arrest.
It was her request for help that brought Su Rui to her current situation. Even though she looked down on Su Rui in the past, she was now so ashamed that she couldn't even raise her head.
"Since it's a setup, the result will be the same with or without you."
Su Rui did not blame Liuli. She could not escape this situation no matter what. Even if Liuli was not there, there would be other ways to bring her here.
Even if Tang Yuli hadn't been there, there would have been others. Instead, it was his own proposal that put Tang Yuli in this situation.
Seeing Tang Yuli, who was still as frightened as a bird even when facing Liuli, Su Rui gently stroked her head and coaxed her, "It's okay, let's go back to the house."
After the incident with Tang Yuli, the Spring Banquet ended hastily after lunch, and Prince Long personally sent the second prince to the carriage.
Lifting the car window, the Second Prince looked at the patient Prince Long outside and said with a smile, "Prince Long, there's no need to see me off. Don't worry, I will order everyone to do everything in their power to cure the Second Young Miss."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Prince Long said these three words calmly, but his hands were clenched so tightly that they made a crackling sound.
The second prince smiled deeply, lowered the curtains, and the carriage started moving.
Chang Ning then stepped forward and asked, "Father, regarding the matter of Li Li, is it..."
Before she could even ask, Prince Long blocked her mouth with his eyes.
Realizing that his subsequent guess was correct, Chang Ning's eyes widened in horror, his voice trembling with disbelief as he said, "Father, that's Lili. She's from the Tang family and my uncle's only daughter."
Prince Long knew this, but… "Everything is for the Tang family, you just pretend you don't know."
Inside the car, the Second Prince listened from afar to the voices of the father and daughter, who had been arrogant for half their lives but now had to endure it, and his smile widened.
He picked up the bronze mirror and ripped open his collar, revealing three faint purple bloodstains from being scratched.
I didn't expect that Tang Yuli, who has always been like a little rabbit, would burst out with such ferocity at that time.
I don’t know what kind of weird stuff was painted on my nails, but it was so hot and stinging when I scratched them that it almost ruined my life.
If he hadn't been annoyed, he wouldn't have hit him so hard.
But she didn't expect that Tang Yuli was so tenacious. He pushed her for so long that he finally drove her crazy.
Thinking about her expression at that time, it was really wonderful. If he wasn't in a hurry, he really wouldn't want to drive her crazy so quickly.
Push it slowly, little by little, and then the expression will definitely be more interesting.
Forget it, let’s look for another one.
"Your Highness, are you going to the Lin Mansion or the palace?" The servant asked carefully outside the carriage.
The second prince's smile suddenly disappeared, and he didn't want to go to either place.
However, he still had to rely on his good mother, so he forced a superficial smile and said, "Go into the palace. You must bring the good news to her."
