Chapter 311 I Love the Prince
The moment he saw the amulet in Su Rui's hand, the smile on Wei Chu's face froze, and panic flashed in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down and asked with a smile: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the amulet?"
"This amulet is very good, but I shouldn't have accepted it." Su Rui stepped forward and handed it over. "Brother Wei, I'm giving it back to you."
"I asked for this just for you. There's no reason why I shouldn't accept it."
"Brother Wei, you and I both know that this amulet can only be given to blood relatives and loved ones. That day, it was my fault. I accepted it in a moment of anger. I should have returned it to you a long time ago, but the situation forced me to not have the chance. If I had sent someone to give it to you, you would definitely not have accepted it."
Just as she knew Wei Chu's temperament, Wei Chu also knew hers.
He knew in his heart that Su Rui did not accept the amulet willingly that day, but he just did not want to think about it so clearly.
"You were indeed angry with the prince that day."
"yes."
"Because of Princess Dongyue?"
"Yeah." Su Rui nodded, feeling guilty. "I shouldn't have dragged you into this. I'm sorry."
"Do we have to make it so clear between you and me?" Wei Chu wanted to get closer to Su Rui like he did at the border in the past, but when he looked at her, he couldn't move a step, as if there was an invisible barrier between them.
He had never felt this way before coming to Shengjing.
He didn't feel anything when he saw Su Rui again and she became Yun Ji's close guard.
It was not until his experience in Weicheng, when he saw Su Rui appear on the city gate and Yun Ji rushing up to hug her before him, that he realized that things between them were indeed not the same as before.
But he didn't think about it. Even if Su Rui had married Yun Ji and had a child, who could tell what the future would be like? He still had a chance, so she accepted the amulet. Even though he knew it in his heart, he ignored the lie.
"It doesn't have to be this clear between you and me, but it must be clear between love. Wei Chu, it's impossible between you and me. I have absolutely no feelings for you."
"Nothing is absolute. Maybe one day you will think I can do it too." Wei Chu took a step forward and approached Su Rui, wanting her to see him more clearly.
"I'm already married and have children."
"So what? You treat him..."
"I love you, my lord." Su Rui interrupted Wei Chu.
In an instant, it became quiet.
The wind rustled through the leaves, and Su Rui's eyes were full of determination.
Wei Chu looked into her eyes, his pupils trembling, but he still asked unwillingly: "If he wasn't there, would you..."
"No if." Su Rui didn't hesitate. "Brother Wei, you and I are no longer the slaves and the soldiers we once were. We each have our own paths to take. Don't be stuck in the past."
Reaching out to pull up Wei Chu's opponent, Su Rui placed the amulet in his palm, then turned around and walked back without stopping.
Wei Chu stood still, looking at the amulet in his hand which still retained the warmth of Su Rui. The layer of cloth that he had been reluctant to uncover was finally torn off.
Xiao Ru didn't know what Su Rui and Wei Chu had said, but she saw Su Rui's expression remained calm after leaving the back garden, so she asked tentatively, "Concubine, do you want to go back to the room and rest for a while?"
Su Rui shook her head.
Xiao Ru pursed her lips and finally spoke, "I think the Guard Commander is actually not bad. He is capable and honest. He also has a physique that makes people feel safe at first glance. But, Concubine, you have already married the prince, and the prince is even better. He is a first-rank prince, tall and handsome, more handsome than any man I have ever seen. Moreover, you both have given birth to a little prince, so it is better for you to calm down."
A string of words came out like beads. Su Rui, who was thinking about something, was startled by her and wanted to speak, but she choked on her own saliva and kept coughing.
Xiao Ru was busy patting her on the back, and she kept saying, "This servant knows, Concubine, you are also wronged. Princess Dongyue is so attentive, but she doesn't take you seriously at all. But didn't the prince agree?"
Speaking of this, Xiaoru felt even more aggrieved for Su Rui.
My own concubine has suffered so much and almost lost her life giving birth to two little princes, but she can only be a concubine and is troubled by the eldest princess. If the eldest princess really becomes the principal wife in the future, my concubine will have no good life.
Thinking of this, although it is not acceptable for a concubine to do so from the perspective of female virtue, she still gritted her teeth and stomped her feet and chose to stand on the side of the concubine!
"If you, Concubine, really can't bear to leave that guard captain, please be patient and divorce the prince first. It's not easy to take the two young masters away. Let's wait and discuss it with Sister Luo'e when we get back. What's the name? From... from... what plan? It's still the old business. Anyway, you and the guard captain will wait a little longer."
"Ahem...nonsense...what nonsense are you talking about! What am I reluctant about?" Su Rui almost choked to death.
Xiaoru blinked and said honestly, "Guardian Commander."
"Bullshit!" Su Rui couldn't help but curse out loud, "How could you see that I didn't want to leave him? I don't have any romantic feelings for him. I was just returning her things today. You, go back and I'll burn all those storybooks. You've ruined your brain!"
After being poked twice on the forehead, Xiaoru finally realized she had misunderstood and immediately flinched. However, when she heard Su Rui was going to burn all her books, she immediately pleaded, "Please, Concubine. I just found two new books and haven't read them yet. Besides, you've been so worried all the way and your mind has been wandering a lot these days. You're not as... like... like the prince before, anyway, that's why I... think that way."
She was worried all the way because she was worried whether Fang Cai could deceive Wei Chu.
Although it was basically all true, the statement that she loved Yun Ji was false. Although she tried her best to appear firm, Wei Chu always had the ability to see through people. If she couldn't make him give up completely, they would still be entangled in the future. She knew that even if she left Yun Ji, she would not choose Wei Chu. Even a glimmer of hope would be an obstacle to their future and a danger.
During this period, she often lost her focus without even noticing, and the lack of control also made her feel annoyed.
As for the fact that Tong Yunji was not as good as before, she had clearly behaved the same as before, and did not deliberately distance herself from Yunji. They even slept in the same bed together. However, she did not expect that even Xiaoru noticed the difference.
Yun Ji must have noticed it a long time ago, but he chose to maintain the status quo just like her.
Why?
The thought had just popped up in her mind, and before Su Rui could dispel it, she saw the housekeeper rushing over. Without even wiping the sweat off his forehead, he said, "Finally, I've found you. Princess Dongyue is here. The prince ordered me to come quickly and invite you and the two young masters to the front yard."
It was perfectly normal for Rong Huan to come uninvited today. However, because of her previous thoughts, Su Rui felt a little depressed when she heard Rong Huan's name. After a pause, she asked Xiao Ru to go to the yard and ask the nanny to take the gold and silver balls to the front yard, while she went ahead with the housekeeper.
The front yard was bustling with activity, and the noise could be heard from two yards away.
Su Rui quickened her pace, and just as she walked through a moon gate, she saw two dazzling figures.
