Chapter 166 She actually dared to kill someone!
"Just listen to what those people outside say. There's no need to be angry." Luo E said and winked at Xiao Ru, signaling her to stop talking about it.
Unfortunately, Xiaoru is unable to read the expressions.
Instead, I got even angrier after hearing this.
"Those words are getting more and more unpleasant. How can we just listen to them? Sister Luo, you didn't hear them. They are simply slandering us, saying that our concubine is a natural disaster star, and wherever she goes, disaster will come."
"They say Shengjing City was cursed because of the concubine, and so was Yanzhou. It's all because the prince married a concubine that the curse came upon them. That's sheer nonsense. It's not just Shengjing and Yanzhou that suffered the snow disaster; all of Great Zhao was affected. There are even worse things to say..."
"Xiao Ru!" Luo E interrupted her and reminded her, "The concubine is still sick."
Xiaoru, who was so angry that she was dizzy, looked at Su Rui who was sitting on the bed with a bad look on her face, and then she reacted and quickly covered her mouth. She hated herself for being so angry that she said everything. Sister Luo had told her many times to put the concubine first, but she always forgot everything in the heat of the moment and only cared about talking.
"It's okay, Luo'e, don't treat me like a child. I won't take it to heart if someone else fan the flames."
She's not that fragile.
Moreover, she knew without even having to listen that the Liang family would not let go of such a good opportunity.
Now Liang can't control her, let alone confront her head-on, but she is worried about what she knows. Now is a good opportunity to get rid of her.
She picked up the rumors that had been circulating among the wives and daughters of officials and spread them everywhere.
The people who are suffering from the cold and don't know whether they can survive until tomorrow need a breakthrough to vent.
Such rumors couldn't be more appropriate.
In addition, Liang was not the only one who wanted her dead, so naturally there were other people who helped to add fuel to the fire.
When faced with the line between life and death, people's brains are no longer enough. It seems that soon a mob will break into the palace and kill her, the disaster star who brought the snow disaster, as a sacrifice to the gods.
What matters is not the rumor, but the consequences of the rumor.
If too many people lose their minds and attack Prince Yong's mansion, those who have been waiting secretly will join them.
There are too many people, and the gate of the mansion may not be able to block it, and the government will definitely not care. No matter how powerful Zhuiyue and others are, they only have two hands.
Besides, those people probably can't wait any longer.
The roads in Yanzhou have been closed for half a month, and there is no news from Yunji, so it is impossible to provide support.
Maybe, either tonight or tomorrow night.
Su Rui had made some arrangements in advance, but he might not be able to stop so many people. Moreover, if there were too many civilians and too many deaths, it would be disadvantageous to Prince Yong's Mansion.
The more she thought about it, the more her headache grew. Su Rui's stomach began to churn again, and she couldn't help but vomit out the half bowl of porridge she had managed to finish in the morning.
"The concubine is vomiting more and more. Let's call a doctor." Xiaoru shouted anxiously.
Su Rui still shook her head.
"Vomiting so much, she must be seriously ill. We need to see..." At this point, Xiaoru remembered something and suddenly opened her eyes wide and asked, "Concubine, are you pregnant with a baby?"
One sentence awakened Luo E.
Yes, why didn’t she think that she would vomit when she was pregnant.
"No." Su Rui took the handkerchief and wiped her mouth, denying this possibility.
"Of course not. There was a sister in the village who was like this when she was pregnant. She vomited all day long."
"Silly girl, you won't have your period when you're pregnant."
Luo E's joy, which had just risen, fell again. Yes, Su Rui had her period two days ago.
Although it’s not much, it was like this last month. Some women just don’t have much menstruation.
"Concubine, something bad has happened!" Butler Wang's voice shouted outside the door.
Su Rui immediately sent Luo E to inquire about the situation. After a while, Luo E came back running with a pale face and panic.
"Concubine, the mob outside is banging on the door."
"So soon?" Su Rui was surprised. It was noon and there were patrol soldiers on the streets. Why would they take action at this time? On what basis did they take action?
"It was... it was Ruirui. He heard people outside cursing you and got so angry that he threw a snowball over the wall. It put out the anger of the mob, and they started to make a scene."
Su Rui had already issued an order that no one in the mansion was allowed to contact or talk with anyone outside. They were not allowed to even look at anyone outside, and they were to pretend not to have heard anything they heard.
Therefore, even if they hid in the back alley with a roof over their heads and burned a fire to keep warm, the palace would not know about it.
Although Ruirui is young, he has always been obedient and sensible. It is impossible for him to take the initiative. Moreover, how can a three or four-year-old child put out a fire with a snowball?
He must have been targeting the youngest Ruirui a long time ago, trying to lure him into action and find an excuse.
It happened in broad daylight. Could it be that he had already known what was happening with Yun Ji, so he wanted to kill her to anger Yun Ji and thus have an opportunity to take advantage of him in Yanzhou?
They are of one mind and one body. Yun Ji has protected it, so she has to protect it too.
Lifting the quilt and wrapping himself in fox fur, Su Rui walked out while instructing Luo E to find Zhui Yue and Xiao Ru to gather everyone in Fozhuang and retreat to the West Garden.
Outside the mansion gate, the angry mob got a piece of wood as thick as a man from somewhere, and about twenty men held it and banged on the door in unison while shouting slogans.
Everyone had a rosy face and didn't look like someone who was freezing.
But the hundreds of people who followed him, wrapped themselves up like balls, wearing almost all the clothes on their bodies and shivering with cold, could not see the abnormality between some people and themselves at this moment. They just stared at the gate with greedy and vicious eyes.
As long as they broke through, rushed in, and grabbed the charcoal and food, they would not have to starve or freeze.
If they kill Su Rui, the disaster star, the snow disaster will end and they will survive.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Again and again, the heavy door was shaken by the slamming, and wood chips and dust flew everywhere.
Some people couldn't wait any longer, so they started climbing the wall in groups using human ladders.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, the door bolt broke and the entire door was knocked open.
The mob rushed in and first searched the gatehouse and the surrounding houses, but found nothing.
There is no charcoal, no food, and no people.
Run away?
"He must be hiding inside, trying to escape through the back door! Chase him!"
Someone gave the order and the mob rushed in. Some of them led a team to attack from both sides, while another team guarded the other entrances and exits of Prince Yong's Mansion. The people who did not dare to follow in spontaneously stood under the wall to prevent anyone from climbing over the wall and escaping.
A large crowd of people rushed through the front yard, but still could not see any sparks or people. They rushed through three doors and went back.
Outside the West Garden, across the canal, a human figure was finally seen.
"There! That disaster star is there...ah!"
Before he could finish his words, the person shouting screamed, and everyone saw that he was shot in the heart by an arrow, and then his body fell into the ditch.
Looking forward, it was Su Rui!
She stood on the rockery opposite, holding a crossbow in her hand, aiming at them.
She actually dared to kill someone!
