Chapter 166 Will Yun Chu stay with me forever?
"Your Majesty?" Song Yunchu tried shaking his shoulders again, and seeing that he still showed no sign of waking up, he knew that he had probably really fallen asleep.
Because Jun Li Luo had previously instructed the secret guards to guard the courtyard, the two men did not follow and continued to sit at the stone table under the tree.
There was no one around to help at the moment, so Song Yunchu didn't think too much. He just picked up Jun Li Luo, walked to the edge of the eaves and jumped down.
Although Jun Li Luo was tall and slender, she was rather thin. With her arm strength, it was no problem for her to hug him.
After landing, she placed him on a rattan chair beside a tree and walked to the other side of the courtyard. Two secret guards were reading under the light. She walked closer and saw that the book in their hands was a sword manual. They were really dedicated to their work.
She said to the two men, "His Majesty just drank a jar of wine and is now asleep. You two should take His Majesty back to the palace."
"His Majesty has ordered the two of us to stay in the courtyard. We are not to move without his order."
A secret guard said, "Since His Majesty has fallen asleep, Lord Song might as well arrange a house nearby for His Majesty to rest."
Before Song Yunchu could answer, another person echoed, "Your Majesty has always been a light sleeper and has difficulty falling asleep. There will be some bumpy roads on the way back to the palace, and I'm afraid that Your Majesty will wake up."
Song Yunchu heard this and thought it made sense. "Okay, there are indeed a few empty rooms in this courtyard. I will order people to clean up the two rooms, and you can rest next to His Majesty."
"Don't bother Master Song. The two of us will take turns guarding His Majesty in this courtyard. You don't have to worry about us."
When Song Yunchu saw that they insisted on staying in the courtyard, he didn't say anything more.
She ordered the servants to clean up the most spacious room, and then asked them to bring blankets and hot tea to the two secret guards in the courtyard.
She came to Jun Liluo's side, put his arm on her shoulders, held his waist with her other hand, and led him into the house.
The two of them sat down on the edge of the bed. Jun Li Luo's arm was still on her shoulder. She was about to help him lie down slowly, but she saw that his brows tightened in his sleep and he suddenly held her shoulders tightly.
Song Yunchu thought he was having a nightmare, so he didn't bother him, but tried to pull the hand off his shoulder.
But she didn't expect that Jun Li Luo would suddenly fall backwards. She was afraid that his head would hit the bedpost, so she quickly leaned down and put her hand on the back of his head.
Jun Liluo lay on her palm, but his hand did not leave her shoulder, and he took her down with him——
Song Yunchu lost her balance and fell on him, and her lips landed on his left cheek.
Song Yunchu's eyes widened.
What the hell?
She quickly sat up and was slightly relieved to see that Jun Li Luo was still sleeping and showed no signs of waking up.
Fortunately, the Dog Emperor did not wake up, otherwise, when he opened his eyes and saw her kissing his face, the scene would have been so embarrassing.
She turned her head and glanced at the open door. No one was passing by. The two secret guards were facing the window of the room instead of the door. The window was closed and they could not see it.
Thinking back to the last time such an accident happened to the Dog Emperor, it was on the street in front of the Sifang Inn. The Dog Emperor was poisoned by his wife and knocked her down. There were several onlookers at the time, and she was so embarrassed that sweat broke out on her forehead.
At that time, she was still worried that Chu Yuni and the others would suspect that she was a homosexual.
Fortunately, no one mentioned it to her afterwards, so she just turned the page of a book.
"water……"
Jun Li Luo's murmur suddenly sounded behind him. Song Yunchu turned around and saw that Jun Li Luo still had his eyes closed, but his lips slightly parted, and he murmured again, "Water..."
Song Yunchu stood up and walked to the table. On the table was tea prepared by the servants, which was still steaming after being poured out.
She returned to the bed with hot tea, helped Jun Li Luo up from the couch, and slowly fed him the tea in the cup.
She remembered that not long ago, she drank the wine sent by Chu Yuni in the palace and was so drunk that she was a little unconscious. It was the dog emperor who fed her sobering soup, and she accidentally took advantage of him.
Tonight, it was the dog emperor who got drunk and stayed in her house. Two secret guards were watching in the courtyard. She couldn't just throw the dog emperor to the servants and leave him alone, right? It seemed like she didn't value her superiors enough.
He came in person to give her a birthday gift, so she had to put on a good show.
I can only wait until he falls asleep peacefully before leaving.
This is probably what it means - things change over time.
After feeding him tea, Song Yunchu tucked the corner of the quilt for him.
Dog Emperor, go to sleep quickly and stop causing trouble.
We both have to get up early to attend court tomorrow.
Song Yunchu was muttering to himself when he saw Jun Liluo move his lips again and called out, "Yunchu..."
A hint of doubt appeared between Song Yunchu's eyebrows.
What did this person tell her to do in her sleep?
He had just frowned, as if he had had a bad dream, but now he called her name. Could it be that he dreamed that she was disobeying him?
Thinking of this, Song Yunchu narrowed his eyes.
The dog emperor was suspicious and cautious. Even though he repeatedly emphasized that she was his right-hand man, she felt that he could only believe it about 60% at most.
After returning from the west of the city, he indeed valued her more, but the emperor's mind was unpredictable, so she still had to be vigilant at all times.
If she really appeared in his nightmare, she would have to wake him up quickly and interrupt his dream.
But she didn't expect that Jun Liluo's next sentence would be -
"Yun Chu, don't go."
Song Yunchu was stunned.
Doesn't this sound like a nightmare?
Jun Li Luo moved his lips again, as if he was mumbling in his sleep. Song Yunchu lowered his head and moved closer to him, trying to hear his murmurs clearly.
But Jun Li Luo moved his eyelids and slowly opened his eyes.
Upon seeing this, Song Yunchu quickly stepped back and said seriously, "Your Majesty, are you awake? You just called me by my name, but what did you dream about?"
"Yun Chu, you are still here." Although Jun Li Luo opened his eyes, his expression was a little dazed, as if he was half asleep and half awake. He reached out from under the quilt and held Song Yun Chu's wrist.
"I feel at ease when you are here."
"Yun Chu, I just had a dream. In the dream, countless ghosts were chasing me. They were all covered in blood and looked very creepy. You took me running in a sea of blood and corpses. As we were running, you shook off my hand and disappeared in an instant."
Song Yunchu: “…”
The Dog Emperor was indeed having a nightmare and hasn't woken up yet.
Fortunately, the role she played in her dream was not a traitor.
But she played a companion who abandoned him halfway, which seemed also a bit of a scam.
"Your Majesty, dreams and reality are opposites."
Song Yunchu comforted him, "In reality, I am loyal to my king and love my country. I will never abandon you in times of trouble."
"Really?" Jun Liluo looked at her with hope in his tone, "Will Yun Chu stay with me forever?"
Song Yunchu felt that these words seemed a little ambiguous at first, but when she looked at Jun Liluo, she saw that he seemed not very clear-headed, and his confused eyes revealed a bit of ignorance and harmlessness, which was completely different from his usual appearance in the court.
He had experienced a brutal struggle for the throne and had long ago learned to be steady and calm. However, at this moment, he was like a naive boy, asking for a promise from someone he trusted.
"If you don't speak, you're lying to me."
Seeing that Song Yunchu didn't respond, Jun Liluo tightened his grip on her wrist, "Yunchu, I will always trust you. To be fair, you can't leave me behind."
"You must think I have everything I need, but you don't know how depressed I am."
"After my mother and grandfather passed away, I told myself that I could no longer trust anyone, but I closed my heart for too long and felt so lonely."
"I don't want to be alone anymore, Yun Chu."
"I have no family and no friends, Yun Chu... can you be my family?"
Song Yunchu was a little stunned and couldn't respond for a while.
It is said that the truth comes out when drunk. The Dog Emperor really has a poor alcohol tolerance. He is obviously not sober at the moment, otherwise why would he act so vulnerable.
And he always refers to himself as "I".
The word "family" coming from the mouth of a king shows how much he trusts her.
The meanings of these two words are also worth considering.
Family members can be brothers and sisters or lovers.
The Dog Emperor's kindness to her was indeed very obvious.
She had originally thought that it was a brotherly affection that had developed from being together for so long, but when she thought about it carefully, in terms of companionship and loyalty, Chen Yue and the Dog Emperor had known each other for many years, but it seemed that they had never talked or laughed. If the Dog Emperor was ten points good to her, he was only five or six points good to Shen Yue at most.
So - is she a very special person in his heart?
She did not forget his character in the original novel: suspicious, cautious, paranoid and arrogant. He would only reveal his vulnerable side when dealing with people he cared about very much.
If she became the person he cared about the most, then... wouldn't she have made him gay?
She is now dressed as a man.
The plot line of the original novel has collapsed long ago, and many people have deviated from their original destiny. The most obvious one is naturally Jiang Rumin. This abusive heroine has learned to be self-reliant. Now that she has the golden signboard of a miracle doctor, she is determined to become bigger and stronger. Even if she talks about love again in the future, she will not be stupid enough.
Princess Shangguan Yun from a neighboring country is a vicious female supporting role in the original novel. Now she has almost no intersection with Jiang Rumin. Leaving Jun Tianyi means she is far away from bad luck.
They can all break free from the setting of being infatuated with the male protagonist Jun Tianyi, so by the same token, some settings of Jun Li Luo can also undergo tremendous changes. He will not be a villain. He can change from a crazy paranoid to a wise monarch praised by everyone, so it doesn't seem strange to change his sexual orientation?
Of course, these were just her temporary guesses, and she couldn't completely conclude that he had become a homosexual.
But he does have a tendency to be gay...
"Your Majesty values me so much, I will never betray you."
Song Yunchu thought that it would be better to comfort the dog emperor first and let him fall asleep quickly. Maybe he would forget what he said when he woke up tomorrow morning.
"If your majesty feels lonely, you can naturally come to me to talk. I can be your listener at any time."
Jun Liluo stared at her, with a slight smile on his lips, "Yun Chu, do you mean that you promise to stay with me forever and be my family?"
"Become your family member... I don't think I have made such great contributions, so I dare not accept this grace. Your Majesty is lucky enough to regard me as a confidant."
Song Yunchu said, smiling at him calmly, "When Your Majesty awarded me the Snake-coiled Purple Gold Crown, I was already very flattered. I know that Your Majesty regards me as a brother, and I am deeply grateful. However, etiquette cannot be abolished, and I dare not exceed the duties of the monarch and his subjects."
She tried to make her words as flawless as possible.
It is always better to be humble than arrogant. If the dog emperor really had homosexual tendencies, she would have rejected him tactfully.
After becoming the Prime Minister of Song, she actually never thought much about choosing a spouse. It's not because she is indifferent to worldly desires, but she is actually a very vulgar person. She loves beauty but loves wealth more. If she were a carefree female tycoon, she would probably spend a fortune on a stunningly handsome man, but now... she really has no chance to pick up a handsome man.
If she wants to be a powerful official, she has to pretend to be a man to the end. When facing handsome men, she must resist temptation and cannot let anyone get close to her, lest her secrets are discovered.
Unless she meets someone she trusts very much, but she thought, she is not the protagonist, how can she expect to meet a male supporting role who is willing to risk his life to protect her like Jiang Rumin did?
If there is someone who really loves her and is willing to help her keep the secret, she still has to consider whether that person is smart enough and has the ability to protect himself. If he is a weakling, stupid, then no matter how affectionate he is, he will be a burden. It is better not to have him.
"This hair crown looks great on you."
Jun Liluo whispered to her, reached out his hand to the top of her head and stroked the Dongzhu on the purple gold crown.
"The Crown Prince and the Second Prince both have one, and I hoped that my father would give me one, but he didn't. Haha... so what if he didn't give it to me, I still got it. This is my favorite hair crown, even more beautiful than the dragon crown. Yun Chu, I just want everyone to know that you are the most special."
Song Yunchu was somewhat moved when he heard this.
The Dog Emperor has been paranoid since he was young. He longs for fatherly love, but he never gets it.
The late emperor had eight princes, and he favored the eldest and second prince the most. The crown prince openly bullied Jun Li Luo, while the second prince was a dagger hidden behind his smile. Jun Li Luo only envied the two at first, but after being bullied again and again, his envy turned into hatred, and finally into murderous intent.
She actually doesn't think he is a so-called villain. Perhaps being beautiful, strong and miserable is more in line with his life experience.
He will lie dormant and recruit talented people, and he can only be ruthless to win. If he doesn't kill them, he will die miserably.
"I appreciate your majesty's kindness." Song Yunchu said in a low voice, "I will definitely not let your majesty down."
Jun Li Luo didn't say anything else. He seemed to be sleepy again and slowly closed his eyelids.
Song Yunchu put his hand back into the quilt, looked at his slightly red cheeks after drinking, and raised the corners of his lips.
In fact, the Dog Emperor looks quite cute when he is drunk.
She stood up, walked lightly as she left, and closed the door slowly.
The moment the door closed, Jun Liluo, who was lying on the couch, opened his eyes with a clear gaze.
He turned his head to look in the direction of the door, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his lips.
