Chapter 53 Abandoned Her Again
Su Rui was floating in the air, as if she was floating in the clouds, drifting away with the wind, and no one knew where she was going.
From past lives to present lives, countless scenes are interwoven around, passing by like paintings.
Sometimes clear, sometimes illusory.
True and false, who is true and who is false.
She couldn't tell.
There is nothing left.
There is no joy, no sorrow, and no hate.
It was as if she was a gust of wind, blowing casually without having to think about anything.
Is that all?
No!
not good!
She can't give up!
She wants to live! She wants to take back everything that belongs to her!
She doesn't want to be converted, and doesn't want to do any of this bullshit without sadness, joy, or hatred!
Su Rui suddenly opened his eyes and saw the Buddhist paintings carved on the beams. He took a few quick breaths before calming down and turning his head to look around.
A bed, a cabinet, a table, two chairs, three cushions, and a shelf full of scriptures... This is Yunji's Zen room.
Before I could think about why I was here, the door was pushed open from the outside.
Rui Rui's mother came in carrying a kettle. Seeing Su Rui open her eyes and looking at her, she was so excited that she quickly put down the kettle and asked, "Miss Su, you're finally awake! How are you? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? No, no, are you hungry? Are you thirsty? No, your health is more important. Wait a minute, I'll go get someone."
"Wait." Su Rui called her. "What's wrong with me?"
Rui Rui's mother froze in her tracks, turned her head to look at her worriedly, and asked with a worried brow, "You don't remember? Have you lost your memory? That won't do. I'll go find Mr. Yun Ji right away."
Yunji.
Yes, it was Yun Ji who saved her!
She saw Yun Ji in the confusion, but in her daze she thought it was a luxury before death.
Now that I'm sober, I can probably distinguish reality.
Yun Ji brought her back and settled her here to treat her injuries and illnesses. He also asked Rui Rui's mother to come up and take care of her.
"I just woke up and can't remember a lot of things right away." Su Rui used her left hand, which was not too injured, to hold Rui Rui's mother, fearing that she would get anxious and run away again. "I'm fine. Tell me first, how many days have I been in a coma?"
"From the time I came up the mountain until today, you've been unconscious for five days. You haven't moved at all. It's terrifying. Every day, you can only eat porridge that flows down your mouth."
"Where are the bandits?"
"Don't worry, those bastards have been arrested and are now imprisoned in the Jingzhao Prefecture jail. However, I heard that the leader escaped, and I don't know if he has been caught yet."
The leader.
Lin Chuan ran away?
That man was ruthless and cunning, so it's not surprising that he ran away.
"Oh, there's one more thing. An old eunuch came to see you. I was so scared I didn't dare talk to him. Before he left, he told me to tell you if you woke up, and told you to rest and recuperate. He gave you another month."
The emperor extended her stay for another month because he saw that she was seriously injured.
Well, she considered it a blessing in disguise, and her life became much more comfortable.
I was just happy, but when I raised my hand I felt a piercing pain.
It hurts more than when I dislocated my joint.
"Don't move. Your hand and ribs are broken. Abbot Kongming has taken them over for you. It will take a hundred days for the broken bones to heal. You must recuperate well and don't listen to the rumors outside."
At this point, Rui Rui's mother realized that she had spoken too quickly. She quickly covered her mouth and made an excuse: "I forgot, there's porridge stewing on the stove. I'll go check it out."
Afraid that Su Rui would ask, Ruirui's mother ran away.
Su Rui didn't ask her about it afterwards, but the news still reached her ears.
It was the Yong'an Marquisate that abandoned her again.
On the night she was captured, the Yong'an Marquisate announced to the public that she had been in contact with bandits in the border area and had formed a feud with them, which was why she came all the way to Shengjing.
She colluded with bandits and was beyond redemption. The Yong'an Marquis' Mansion would never tolerate her and posted notices of severing ties with her and removing her from the family tree. The notices were posted all over the streets and alleys, for fear that no one would be left out and unaware of the Marquis' Mansion's determination to sacrifice her for the sake of justice.
But in the morning, just as the people of Shengjing had finished reading the notice, a group of roving bandits were escorted into the city, and Su Rui was not among them.
While everyone was discussing this, three days ago, Jingzhao Prefecture posted a notice stating the origin and crimes of the bandits. It also explained that Su Rui had never colluded with anyone, but that someone had bribed the bandits to kill her.
As for who the briber was, the notice did not say.
But even these were enough to give the Yong'an Marquisate a slap in the face.
He ignored his daughter and slandered her to protect himself, while pretending to be righteous and clean up the family. The book about impeaching the Marquis of Yong'an fell like snowflakes on the long desk of the Censorate.
The emperor even personally issued an edict to dismiss the Marquis of Yong'an from his post as General of the Left Wing, and ordered him to manage the Marquis's mansion properly. He would resume his post when he had done a good job.
I heard that Marquis Yong'an collapsed in anger on the road before he even walked back to the mansion.
The emperor gave her a sigh of relief, perhaps because Yun Ji saved her and felt that she was irreplaceable now.
But this is not enough.
After recuperating for a few days and being able to move around again, Su Rui dressed up according to Tongpen's instructions, covered up her sick appearance, and slowly walked towards Feiyun Pavilion.
During this time, she lived in Yunji's Zen room, and he lived in Feiyun Pavilion.
When she walked over, Zhuiyue was standing on the eaves of the second floor. He glanced at her but didn't move.
This means he's not going to stop her.
Su Rui breathed a sigh of relief. When she came here, she was worried that it would be troublesome if Yun Ji still avoided her.
Fortunately, it was a blessing in disguise.
She vaguely remembered that when Yun Ji saved her, he had murderous intentions towards the bandit, and she instinctively stopped him.
She didn't even think about it at all, she just believed in her heart that Yun Ji shouldn't kill anyone.
He is a man of pure cultivation, a trumpet creeper on a noble altar, and should not be stained by the blood of evildoers.
Later she thought about it and felt lucky. If she had not stopped him, Yun Ji would have really killed the bandit in a moment of impulse. With his cognition and personality, he might have committed suicide afterwards. Even if he didn't go to extremes, he would have completely avoided her.
Entering Feiyun Pavilion, she climbed up slowly step by step.
Although she had recovered a lot, she was still very weak. When she climbed to the second floor, she was already sweating all over and gasping for breath.
But there was no time to waste, she gritted her teeth and lifted her feet.
He felt weaker and weaker as he climbed, and eventually one of his feet fell before he could fully lift it up. He lost his footing and fell forward unbalanced.
She was ready to get hurt again, but her left hand was grabbed and pulled straight with great force.
She raised her head, sweating profusely, and met Yun Ji's slightly frowning face. She said with a flattering smile, "Thank you for saving me, sir. I have no way to repay you, but to pledge my love to you."
Yun Ji frowned even more, released his hand, and asked, "You haven't recovered yet, what are you doing here?"
"I miss you, sir, but you didn't even ask to come and see me." Su Rui blinked, her eyes full of grievance.
"If you don't tell me the truth, I'll take my leave." Yun Ji turned around and was about to go back.
"No!" Su Rui hurriedly pulled his sleeve and said honestly, "I came here to ask you for a favor, a small, small favor."
