Chapter 32 I'll get her medicine
Seeing the sweat on the forehead of the man running, Changning frowned and asked, "Why didn't you take the sedan chair?"
The woman raised her hand and wiped the sweat off her face with a handkerchief, taking two breaths with minimal movement. Then she calmly explained, "Cousin, you ran too fast, and the sedan chair was too bumpy to catch up with, so I got off by myself."
The eunuchs who lift their feet in the palace are all trained, and they can keep their pace consistent even when walking quickly. Moreover, the roads in the palace are flat, so there is no possibility of any bumps.
Chang Ning knew it in his heart, but he couldn't do anything about her. He waved his hand and said, "Then you wait aside for a while."
"My cousin is not able to make it. The Empress is still waiting. We can't delay any longer." As she spoke, the woman looked towards Su Rui and nodded apologetically, "My dear, we are very sorry that we bumped into you. We are in a hurry. Please go to the Imperial Hospital on your own. We in the Tang Mansion will take care of all the medicine."
On the surface, she just casually sent Su Rui away, but everyone could tell that this woman was trying to help Su Rui out.
"Lugluo!"
"Okay, cousin, let's go. Have you forgotten what your uncle told you in the letter two days ago?"
With just one sentence, all the murderous intent in Changning's eyes was suppressed.
Looking at Su Rui, who was covering her shoulder but not looking down on her at all, after weighing the pros and cons, Chang Ning finally just gave her a fierce look, stretched out his hand to pull Tang Yuli onto the horse, and whipped away.
"Is that General Tang's only daughter?"
"Indeed, although she has been raised in Yuzhou, she has had a reputation since she was young. She is considered a model of a noble lady. Seeing her today, I can see that her reputation is well-deserved. Her words and deeds are truly excellent."
The only daughter of General Tang, Tang Yuli.
Su Rui had heard of it and it was very famous.
General Tang is Prince Long's younger brother and the most valiant and skilled warrior under Prince Long. He commands an army of 100,000 to garrison Mobei and has been guarding the northern gate of the Great Zhao for ten years.
Tang Yuli was the only son of General Tang, so he did not stay in Shengjing like Princess Changning, but grew up in his fiefdom Yuzhou.
At the age of seven, she became famous in Da Zhao for a painting of peonies, and the title of a talented woman was firmly on her head. After that, stories about Tang Yuli's deeds could be heard every year, and gradually, she became known as the most noble lady in Da Zhao.
But after being raised in Yuzhou for so many years, why did he come to Shengjing at this time?
"Everything is fine, but you're too soft-hearted. Why did you save that disaster star? Don't you know about her troubles?"
"Don't you know? This Second Miss Tang was originally the wife that the late Emperor intended for Mr. Yunji. But because Mr. Yunji went to the Fahua Temple to practice asceticism and was scheduled to be ordained as a monk on the 25th, there was no further mention of her. Now that the Emperor intends for Mr. Yunji to marry and have children, this Second Miss Tang is still Mr. Yunji's fiancée."
"No wonder they saved this disaster star. They wanted her to let Mr. Yunji have a taste of what it's like as soon as possible, so that he wouldn't want to become a monk."
"After all, Miss Tang Er is already eighteen this year. She must be getting anxious."
A group of noble ladies walked away from the path where Su Rui was knocked away, talking and laughing, and no one looked at her.
Huiming wanted to ask for help but didn't know how to start.
"How can they... be so indifferent?"
"You won't live long if you're too busy. Remember that." Su Rui clutched his shoulder, enduring the pain as he took the Buddhist scriptures out of the broken brocade box. He shook off the dust and said, "Let's go. Don't delay."
"Don't you want to see a doctor?" Huiming looked at Su Rui's shoulder worriedly.
Looking for a doctor?
On a day like today, the imperial physician has no time to treat her.
Besides, since Changning hit her, he would not give her the opportunity to see a doctor and treat her injuries in the palace, so why waste time.
"It's just a minor injury, nothing." Su Rui pretended to be unhurt and put her hand down, even moving it deliberately for Huiming to see. "You have to take responsibility for delaying my prayer. That wouldn't be a return of favor."
Huiming was frightened by her. Although he was worried, after thinking about it, he decided to continue leading the way as she asked.
Along the way, Su Rui was thinking about Tang Yuli.
She had never seen Yunji's queen in her previous life, and didn't know if it was Tang Yuli. But now that Tang Yuli had come to Shengjing, the matter was probably settled.
Prince Long's lineage has a very high prestige in the army. Of the 500,000 troops of the Great Zhao, 300,000 are under his command. Even Su Rui's father, Marquis Yong'an, has been under Prince Long's command for the past two years.
Today's Great Zhao can be said to be a three-legged tripod. The first is the imperial power, the second is Queen Lin's mother's family, the first-class civil officials headed by Prime Minister Lin, and the third is the military power held by Prince Long.
The current emperor holds the imperial power and the Lin family in his hands and can suppress Prince Long. But when Yun Ji ascends the throne, can he hold Prince Long and suppress the Lin family?
Even if it is possible, it is not an easy thing. No wonder he looked so boring in his previous life.
However, when the late emperor was in power, Prince Long's lineage was not so powerful. It was a good thing to marry Tang Yuli to Yunji and win over Prince Long's lineage to support Yunji.
The situation is different now. Why does the emperor still want to recognize this marriage?
"Female donor! Female donor!" Huiming shouted while tugging at the corner of Su Rui's clothes.
Su Rui finally came back to her senses, and when she focused her eyes, she saw Yun Ji sitting behind the long desk, looking at her with a little doubt.
He immediately put away the distracted look on his face, walked into the house with the Buddhist scriptures in his hand, and offered them with both hands, saying, "Please read it, sir."
Yun Ji did not ask her any questions, but checked the Buddhist scriptures she had copied one by one in a businesslike manner, and picked out the ones with uneven text, typos, ink spots, and dust stains and put them aside.
Su Rui secretly thought that this bastard was really cruel, and would not tolerate any crookedness at all. He was so picky that he saw that most of it was gone.
Feeling sorry for the hard work she had put in for several nights, Su Rui sat down, propped up her chin with her right hand, and looked at Yun Ji and said, "Thank you for saving my daughter that day, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see you today."
Yun Ji didn't even raise his head and said calmly, "I said, I'm just returning the thank-you gift on Ruirui's behalf, that's all."
Su Rui raised her eyebrows, smiled slightly, and moved closer to Yun Ji's sight. "So, if that's the case, sir, saving me that day wasn't a reward, but the favor you owe me still exists."
As their eyes met Su Rui's, the atmosphere became more and more charming. Yun Ji reached out and placed the selected Buddhist scriptures in front of Su Rui. "Take the scriptures and wait a moment in the small garden outside. Huiming will lead you to the altar to burn them during the prayer time."
Seeing that he was unmoved and took another Buddhist scripture to start reviewing, Su Rui knew that there was no hope.
Her shoulder was getting more and more painful, and she couldn't keep pestering him, so she just obediently picked up the Buddhist scriptures and left.
I never thought she would be so straightforward. Yun Ji looked up at her back suspiciously.
There is some sluggishness, especially the left hand, which hangs unnaturally.
What's this trick again?
Thinking of how she suddenly put her face close to him with a playful smile, and the two times before when she had succeeded by accident, Yun Ji dismissed all his doubts.
"Blood!" Huiming exclaimed.
Yun Ji looked up and Hui Ming was looking at a drop of blood outside the threshold.
That was where Su Rui left.
"What happened when you came here?" Yun Ji asked.
"On the way here, we met a group of female donors..." Huiming recounted everything that had happened along the way, finally blaming himself: "Donor Su said it was just a minor injury, but I shouldn't have believed her. I should have insisted that she see a doctor."
Even when she was hit by the galloping Snow Dragon, she was still able to pretend nothing happened. What a great endurance she has.
He never mentioned what happened on the road from beginning to end. Was he sure that Huiming would tell him, or did he not intend to tell him about it at all?
Looking back at the various deeds of Su Rui in the past five years that Zhuiyue had collected, it was always difficult to connect them with her playful and frivolous face.
Can……
"I'll take Donor Su to see a doctor."
"Wait." Yun Ji stopped Hui Ming who was about to go look for Su Rui. He stood up from behind the long desk and paused for a moment before saying, "I'll go get her medicine. You stay here and look after the Buddhist scriptures."
