Chapter 125: A Sneak Attack on His Majesty
He immediately praised: "It tastes very good. I will just eat this. There is no need to prepare other dishes."
Song Yunchu smiled faintly, "As long as your majesty likes it."
"Yun Chu, don't just sit there, eat while it's hot."
"yes."
[Hehe, I said, no one can resist spicy hot pot. ]
[Look at the reaction of the dog emperor. After eating this time, he might think about it next time. ]
[Dog Emperor, if you are sensible, continue to respect and treat me well in the future. When I am in a good mood, I might even get you some other delicious food.]
Jun Liluo: "..."
If he is in a good mood, I will give him some other delicious food, but what if he is in a bad mood?
Eating alone?
"My seasoning skills are still not as good as those of Zuixianlou's chef. Zuixianlou has a unique sauce, and the soup made from that sauce is the most delicious. Since the recipe is not passed on to others, I cannot make it exactly the same. If your majesty thinks this spicy hot pot is delicious, I will take you to Zuixianlou to try theirs someday."
Jun Liluo was somewhat dissatisfied with what Song Yunchu said.
Is Zuixianlou’s signature spicy hot pot really delicious?
Maybe it's because of different tastes. He clearly tasted it, but didn't have any deep impression.
If it was really delicious, he should remember it clearly.
Although he had some thoughts, he did not reject Song Yunchu's invitation. "Okay, when you have some free time, take me to see it for myself."
…
After a good night's sleep, Song Yunchu woke up the next morning to receive another piece of good news.
Jiang Rumin and the imperial doctors made new progress in the development of plague prescriptions.
"Sir Song, I read about a kind of wild mushroom at midnight yesterday. This kind of mushroom is cool in nature, juicy, and has the effect of clearing the liver and relieving heat and toxins. But there is one bad thing, that is, this wild mushroom looks similar to some poisonous mushrooms in shape and color, so it needs to be carefully distinguished. Ordinary people may not be able to recognize it."
Jiang Rumin spread the blueprint on the table so that everyone could see the appearance of the wild mushrooms. "You can look for them according to the appearance on the blueprint. After you pick them, the doctors and I will strictly select them. But you need to be careful not to taste them. In order to speed up the process, the doctors and I will go up the mountain together this time. After all, we have the ability to distinguish them."
Before this, she didn't need to go up the mountain to work, but now she was worried that most of the mushrooms collected by everyone would be wrong, so after thinking about it, she decided to go together.
Song Yunchu said: "Since it has come to the most critical moment, I will go with you."
She ordered everyone to gather outside the inn, then turned to Chu Yuni and Bai Zhu and said, "Go upstairs and pack some things. Bring some snacks for lunch break. Also bring the oolong tea in my drawer. It can refresh people who are sleepy."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jun Liluo's voice rang out from behind her, "I'll go too."
Song Yunchu turned his head, looking somewhat disapproving, "Your Majesty, you should not go up the mountain to get some fresh air. You should stay in the inn and rest. Lord Shen should also stay and guard Your Majesty."
"Now that I'm here, how can I just sit in the inn and wait?"
Jun Liluo said, "The plague concerns the safety of millions of people. I also want to do my part. You don't have to worry about me."
Song Yunchu thought for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "Well, since Your Majesty insists on going, I can't say much. However, it's windy on the mountain, so Your Majesty, please go upstairs and put on a cloak."
Jun Liluo originally thought that Song Yunchu would stop him again, but now that he saw that Song Yunchu had no objection, he felt very relieved.
He turned around and was about to go upstairs, but what no one expected was that the moment he turned his back, Song Yunchu raised his knife and knocked him unconscious.
Jun Liluo was caught off guard, his eyes went dark and he fell on Song Yunchu's shoulder.
Before he lost consciousness, he heard Song Yunchu's inner voice.
[Come on, you dog emperor, don't go up to the mountain and cause trouble for yourself, you pampered emperor. I have to do my work and I don't have the heart to take care of you. ]
Song Yunchu supported Jun Liluo's body and looked at Chen Yue in front of him, "Sir Shen, please help His Majesty upstairs to rest."
The people in the lobby had different expressions.
Bai Zhu was not present when Jun Li Luo pounced on Song Yunchu in the street. Looking at Song Yunchu at this moment, he felt that although his master was a little presumptuous, he was ultimately considering the health of His Majesty. If His Majesty could understand his master's intentions, he should not hold a grudge, right?
Chu Yuni's expression was subtle——
Except for Prime Minister Song, there is probably no one else in the court who dares to be so disrespectful to the emperor. This shows how close Your Majesty is to Prime Minister Song.
The closer we are, the less critical we will be.
Shen Yue's first reaction after coming to his senses was to scold Song Yunchu.
"Sir Song, do you know how serious a crime it is to attack His Majesty?"
"Your Majesty, you soaked in cold water for so long yesterday, and the chill in your body has not yet dissipated. You must not catch a cold again."
Song Yunchu said expressionlessly, "It is a crime to attack Your Majesty, but is it not a crime to let Your Majesty go up the mountain to feel the cold wind and increase the coldness in your body? In my opinion, the latter is a greater crime than the former. We should choose the lesser of two evils. When I come back, I will admit my mistake to Your Majesty. If Your Majesty wants to punish me, I will have no complaints."
She knew that Jun Li Luo was a courageous man. If the plague happened in other countries, there would be no possibility that the monarch would personally go to the place where the epidemic occurred.
Jun Li Luo wanted to humble himself and do his part, which was a good idea, but with his physical condition, if he got caught in the wind and caught a cold, wouldn't everyone be terrified?
Persuasion might not work, and she didn't want to waste time. The lack of a helper like him would not affect the progress at all, and she was thankful that this person was willing to stay in the inn quietly.
As for whether he would be punished after returning, the Dog Emperor himself said that the plague concerns the safety of thousands of people. As long as the plague is solved, the stone in his heart will fall to the ground. By then, he will not even have time to be happy, and perhaps he will not care about her disrespect.
"Sir Shen, I have to go and do some serious business."
Song Yunchu helped Jun Liluo to Chen Yue and handed Jun Liluo to him. "I am also considering His Majesty. It doesn't matter if Lord Shen is unwilling to understand. You just need to remember your responsibilities and protect His Majesty."
After Song Yunchu finished speaking, he turned and walked out of the inn.
Chen Yue looked at her leaving back, speechless.
Prime Minister Song had good intentions in not letting Your Majesty go up the mountain to get some fresh air, but why couldn't this man just give Your Majesty some good advice instead of resorting to a sneak attack?
Is this guy really not afraid of being punished by His Majesty?
Thinking of this, that absurd guess once again emerged in Shen Yue's mind.
Could it be that Your Majesty and Prime Minister Song...
No, Prime Minister Song is frivolous and presumptuous by nature. Perhaps because he has made great contributions in the fight against the epidemic, he is fearless and has become even more reckless.
Chen Yue quickly cleared away the messy thoughts in his mind, and then helped the unconscious Jun Liluo to the private room to rest.
After a long time, Jun Liluo woke up slowly and felt a slight pain in the back of his neck.
"Your Majesty, you are awake."
Chen Yue's voice came to his ears. Jun Liluo saw clearly that he was in a private room at the moment. His brows tightened and he sat up.
He remembered that he was knocked unconscious by Song Yunchu.
That guy... is so outrageous!
He turned to look at Chen Yue, his tone cool, "Where is Prime Minister Song? Has he set off already?"
"In reply to your Majesty, Lord Song and his men have been on the road for half an hour."
Chen Yue looked a little indignant, "Lord Song said that the wind is strong on the mountain and asked you to rest well in the inn. Lord Song's words are true, but he dared to attack you from behind, which is really a violation of the superiors! I think that even if Lord Song has made contributions, you can't let him off easily."
Jun Liluo was indeed a little angry at first, but after hearing what Shen Yue said, he quickly calmed down.
He was so focused on going up the mountain with Yunchu and the others that he didn't pay attention to his own physical condition. He had soaked in cold water for so long yesterday, and Jiang Rumin had specifically told him to drink ginger soup for a few days to ward off the cold, so... Song Yunchu didn't let him go with them. In the final analysis, he was thinking about him.
He was afraid that he would catch a cold if he was exposed to too much wind, so he knocked him out on impulse. If he punished Song Yunchu for this, wouldn't it make him look narrow-minded?
"Prime Minister Song's action was indeed a bit excessive, but he has always been steady and reliable, and he cares about me very much. As the saying goes, care leads to confusion. He probably lost his sense of proportion because he was afraid that he could not persuade me."
After Jun Liluo figured it out, his expression eased a lot, "When he comes back, I will severely reprimand him."
