Chapter 218 Chatterbox
Fu Hai was outside listening to what was happening inside.
Seeing Xie Jingmo rushing out in a hurry.
He followed Xie Jingmo out of the palace gate, and when he was halfway there, there was no one around.
He sighed and whispered behind her, "General, it's not convenient for you to show up for this matter. Since Miss Yun has already left, why bother showing up again?"
In many cases, the more you talk, the more problems arise.
She had seen Lin Ruyu before. She had a pitiful face that all men liked. She looked pitiful and could make the dead look alive with her mouth.
Xie Jingmo actually felt pity for her, and if he went out now, he was afraid that he would be biased.
"If Lin Ruyu really comes to rely on you, how can you refuse her in public? Will you really take her home?"
Fu Hai has never married, but he has seen so much in the harem. How could he not know about Lin Ruyu's despicable tricks?
"General, when you are about to drown, you will grab anything at hand, even if it means saving her. You will step on that person to climb to the shore at all costs. General, please don't be the driftwood that Lin Ruyu steps on."
Fu Hai spoke earnestly.
Xie Jingmo became more and more anxious, and his steps became bigger and bigger.
Without even turning his head, he said to Fu Hai, "You don't know, Yun Zhao has a stubborn temper. If I don't leave, she will definitely kill her! No matter what Lin Ruyu did, her crime doesn't deserve the death penalty. Ruyu has a soft temper and is no match for Yun Zhao."
Hearing this, Fu Hai looked at Xie Jingmo in astonishment, "Do you mean that you still have Lin Ruyu in your heart?"
Xie Jingmo crossed the palace gate and said, "Whether she saved me or not, it doesn't matter. I have to repay her."
Fu Hai stood at the palace gate, watched Xie Jingmo walking away, and sighed.
Xie Jingmo knew Yun Zhao well. If he hadn't come, the acupuncture needles would have pierced into the fatal acupoints and Lin Ruyu would have died on the street.
Yun Zhao squatted down, the silver needle in her hand was so thin that it was invisible, and she raised her hand swiftly.
Just as he was about to take action, he was pulled up by someone.
Yun Zhao frowned and turned his head fiercely and coldly.
Just a little bit.
Just one step and Lin Ruyu would have disappeared from this world.
"Yun Zhao, are you crazy! This is Chang'an Avenue, the most prosperous street! Are you trying to kill yourself?" Xie Jingmo's voice came.
Yun Zhao narrowed his eyes and looked at him coldly.
Lin Ruyu breathed a sigh of relief. She almost thought she was going to die here. She burst into tears, tears rolling down from the corners of her eyes, and her body tilted, showing her feminine and graceful figure.
She did it on purpose. Before leaving the palace, she specifically told Concubine Yi not to let her wear too many clothes. She just wanted to seduce men!
Xie Jingmo lowered his head and saw the thin cloth on Lin Ruyu's body, and immediately asked someone to cover her with clothes.
Lin Ruyu's eyes flashed with displeasure. Taking advantage of the most people on the street, she asked, "Jing Mo, you promised me that you would marry me. Now that I look so ugly, the promise you made in the past is invalid."
As soon as these words were spoken.
Everyone on Chang'an Avenue looked at Xie Jingmo.
Waiting for Xie Jingmo to answer this question.
Xie Jingmo frowned.
People around were whispering.
"Lin Ruyu is already like this, how can I marry her?"
"What do you know? They have a friendship from their youth. Besides, abandoning someone in times of trouble is not what a gentleman does."
"But she is paralyzed after all. Can she still be a princess? Xie Jingmo is a prince and a general."
"So what? Men have always been cold and indifferent."
"I don't think Xie Jingmo is that kind of person."
"How about making a bet?"
"What's the bet?"
"Let's bet that Xie Jingmo won't abandon Lin Ruyu!"
“…”
Because of this bet, everyone around was staring at Xie Jingmo closely.
Yun Zhao stood to one side, his arms folded, his hands folded in a cold manner. "How much is the bet? I also..."
Before he could finish his words, Yun Zhao was pulled aside by Xie Jingmo.
Just as Xie Jingmo was about to speak, Lin Ruyu cleverly took the lead, "Wuwuwu... Jingmo, I know you value friendship, but now that I'm in this state, you should just leave me alone. Even though I saved you when you were seriously ill, and even though you did promise to marry me, but—"
Tears shone down Lin Ruyu's face, and she stared blankly into the sky. "Everything—is over. Jing Mo, if you have pity on me, then let me die. It's better for you to kill me with your own hands than for me to be tortured by others. To die in your hands is my good fortune!"
Lin Ruyu is indeed good at speaking.
Very talkative too.
Even though she is paralyzed now, she can still spark heated discussions every minute!
"Xie General, you are the general, the one who gives the orders in front of the battle. Now that Lin Ruyu is like this, it is inappropriate for you to not care, right?"
"Yes, General Xie, how important is character to a general?"
"We've eaten your wedding candy. According to outsiders, you two are already husband and wife! Isn't it inappropriate for you to abandon Lin Ruyu like this?"
The people around looked at the poor Lin Ruyu in front of them and spoke up one after another.
Xie Jingmo frowned and turned to look at Yun Zhao.
Yun Zhao naturally understood what Xie Jingmo meant. He wanted to speak up and help himself out of the situation.
Yun Zhao stood aside with a cold look in his eyes, as if he had completely ignored Xie Jingmo's plea for help.
The noise on the street was loud, wave after wave.
When Fu Hai arrived with the imperial edict, he sighed several times. He walked to Xie Jingmo and said to him, "The emperor anticipated the situation today. He said that as a general, you must maintain your integrity. Otherwise, who will listen to you when you take action in the future? Now that public opinion is like this, the emperor wants you to take the people back to the palace first."
Xie Jingmo was shocked, "How can this be possible?"
Fu Hai: "General, before you came, I told you that a drowning person would grab anything they could. Now you can't just ignore it. The Emperor has commanded you to obey."
Xie Jingmo's eyes darkened. "Absolutely not. If I take her back, what will that mean? Won't everyone say in the future that I'm implicitly promising to marry Lin Ruyu?"
Fu Hai pursed his lips, a hint of yellow appeared on his arms. "General, please don't make things difficult for me. The emperor said that if you really don't obey, it will cause public outrage and the consequences will be disastrous. Either you take the people back now and we can make a long-term plan later, or -"
Fu Hai paused for a moment and said, "I will bring out the imperial decree granting marriage in public. What do you think?"
Xie Jingmo was forced to take up arms. He glanced at Lin Ruyu lying on the ground, and then at Yun Zhao.
He knew that from the moment he stepped out of the palace, there was no turning back.
"Yun Zhao..." Xie Jingmo felt helpless, "I'll explain it to you later."
There were too many people on the street, and Yun Zhao was pushed out by the crowd. Xie Jingmo was getting farther and farther away from them, and he felt more and more panic in his heart.
Yun Zhao returned to the palace with Fu Hai.
On the way back to the palace, Fu Hai was no longer the cautious eunuch Fu Hai, he turned into a chatterbox.
Filled with righteous indignation.
