Chapter 318 He had his head broken
Su Rui's heart was slightly moved, but he remained calm on the surface and said, "Your Highness also knows the art of stargazing and geomancy?"
"I don't understand." The Second Prince's smile deepened. He looked at Su Rui with a half-smile and a hint of pity in his eyes as he said, "I thought you should know, but now it seems that you don't know."
Su Rui stared directly at the Second Prince and asked coldly, "Then could your Highness tell me?"
"Of course, I have some friendship with Concubine Su. I don't think it's right for the young uncle to hide it from you. After all, the matter of gathering the Wuxi clan and the 100,000 Chongzhong troops is too big."
The prominent family in the west and the 100,000 Chongzhong troops?
Su Rui had no idea at all.
The Wuxi prominent family is not just one family, but the gathering place of five centuries-old families. It is monopolized by the aristocratic family, and its descendants and branches are spread throughout the entire Da Zhao. Although there are not many officials in the court now, the officials in the court are more or less related to it. Moreover, many officials outside the capital are from the Wuxi prominent family.
However, these five tribes could only engage in literature and not join the military, which suppressed Wuxi's foundation to establish himself as king. However, even so, the Lin family of these five tribes had been fighting for it.
Unfortunately, the current patriarchs of the five clans are all long-lived and of the same generation as Lin Shoufu. Two of them are even his elders. Lin Shoufu's face is of little use there. Although he did not directly reject the Lin family, he has not responded and has just dragged it on.
Now he has actually surrendered to Yun Ji, which is really unbelievable. After all, the Wuxi prominent family cares most about bloodline. Now that the second prince is still alive, even if Yunji wins the hearts of the people again, he cannot overcome the fact that the father dies and the son inherits the family.
As for the fact that the second prince is not the emperor's bloodline, there is no evidence to prove it, and I will not tell others rashly.
How did Yunji gather the troops?
And the 100,000 Chongzhong troops are even more rare.
The Chongzhong Army, as its name suggests, does not participate in any party, but only follows the monarch. It will be loyal to whoever is the monarch. Similarly, the premise is also legitimate.
Yun Ji could only get it if... the emperor gave an order, or even an imperial decree.
But how can the emperor do this now?
Divine plan?
Had you anticipated this day would come and arranged everything for Yun Ji?
But things are unpredictable, and man proposes, God disposes. How can the emperor be sure that Yun Ji can survive to this day, obtain this information, and accomplish all these things under the surveillance of the Lin family and Queen Lin?
There is still no news even now.
Maybe Yun Ji deliberately concealed the news from her, but the Second Prince should not have known it for long.
That’s why there is such a ship today.
"Your Highness is not bad either. All the important officials in the capital are on your big ship."
The Second Prince shrugged helplessly, "Isn't this forced upon me? If not, how can I compete with the young uncle? I'm not yet twenty, I still want to live."
His life means Yun Ji's death.
And now, a life-and-death struggle is imminent.
"So, Your Highness, why did you invite me aboard today? Is it a threat? Or do you want to put me under house arrest again?"
"Things are different now. I dare not disrespect you, Concubine Su. If I dare to leave you on the boat today, I'm afraid the young emperor's iron hoof will set foot on Shengjing tonight. I won't give him that opportunity." The Second Prince shook his head, indicating that he couldn't give Yun Ji an opportunity. "I invite you to come aboard today, Concubine Su. I mean come aboard, just like everyone else on board today. I wonder if Concubine Su is willing?"
"Your Highness, do you think I would be willing?"
"In the past, I wouldn't, but..." The Second Prince approached Su Rui, bending slightly, his face shielded from the sunlight. In the shadows, a pair of sinister, cold eyes stared at Su Rui like snakes. "Now I think you should consider yourself and your child."
"How do you think about it?"
"You're a wise man who chooses good trees to inhabit. You should know that your current situation isn't so good. Princess Dongyue isn't as beautiful as you, but her status and the power behind her are exactly what the young uncle needs right now. She's completely different from the Second Miss Tang back then. Even though you don't know anything about what the young uncle is doing now, you should also know that his choice, which leads to a path that leads to nothing but hell."
"Your Highness, do you think you are a good tree?"
"Not really, but I admire your tenacity. If you're willing, I can help you escape, establish a legal title for you, and make you a princess. I'll give you a fiefdom, and your two little cousins can take your surname and grow up in peace. Isn't that better than staying in Prince Yong's mansion and waiting to die? Even if the little uncle wins, you and your little cousins wouldn't necessarily have an easy life under Princess Dongyue's rule. Do you think Princess Dongyue would tolerate you and her eldest son, born out of wedlock?"
He used emotion and reason to analyze Su Ruidu's situation clearly.
In this case, Su Rui really only has to choose the second prince to save herself and her child.
"I think Princess Dongyue is a tolerant person. After all, didn't she tolerate Miss Wang as well?" Su Rui said with a smile.
The Second Prince's expression froze instantly. Surprise flashed across his eyes, which had been filled with confidence. He looked at Su Rui's all-seeing eyes, and his original attempt to conceal his feelings was instantly extinguished. He asked directly, "How did you know that?"
"There is no impenetrable wall in the world. It seems that the eldest princess also feels for the second prince..." Su Rui did not finish her words, but that indescribable smile said it all.
Is it Rong Huan?
How is that possible?
The second prince couldn't understand it for a moment.
Su Rui didn't have time to argue with him. She glanced around and said, "I'm afraid the Empress has not approved of your Second Prince's actions today. Now that you only have one, your Highness should think about how to explain this to the Empress."
He stepped on the Second Prince's reverse scale, and his eyes, which were just doubtful, suddenly became sharp and vicious as he looked at Su Rui and approached again.
"Bang!"
The Second Prince had just opened his mouth, but before he could utter a word, something exploded beside his ear. The impact knocked him to the ground, leaving him dizzy.
He put his hand over the side of his head that had been hit. When his vision recovered a little, he took his hand away, and his palm was already covered in blood.
His head was broken?
He turned around in surprise and saw Tang Yuli.
She tightly grasped the decorative oar of the small boat, which was still stained with the blood of the Second Prince. She was trembling all over, breathing rapidly and heavily, but staring at the Second Prince with angry eyes.
Everyone was shocked.
No one expected that Tang Yuli would hit the second prince with a paddle, and so quickly, accurately and ruthlessly, without any hesitation, so no one tried to stop him.
"Don't bully us!" Tang Yuli paused and roared at the second prince.
Seeing her breathing becoming increasingly rapid, Su Rui immediately stood up and threw away the blood-stained oar in her hand. He hugged her and said to the Second Prince, "Miss Tang is not in her right mind and could hurt others. Your Highness provoked her just now. I believe Your Highness can understand. If not, then please go find General Tang. We will take our leave now."
After saying that, Su Rui walked out of the room with Tang Yuli and his group. The stunned Second Prince sat on the ground, and after a moment he punched the ground hard.
