Chapter 22 The Evil and Handsome Second Prince
Song Yunchu was already very curious about the two important supporting characters who were about to appear, so he agreed.
"I obey your orders."
In the evening, Song Yunchu and Shen Yue led a group of guards to camp in a tavern near the imperial city, waiting for the envoys from Beichen Kingdom.
Chen Yue was the dog emperor's true confidant. Although his relationship with her was not very good, they both maintained a polite relationship. The two chatted casually until a guard reminded them -
"My Lords, the envoys from Beichen have arrived!"
Upon hearing this, Song Yunchu quickly turned his head and looked at the street in the distance.
A large group of people drove in slowly, with a few burly soldiers leading the way in the front. Behind them, two gorgeous carriages were located in the center of the team. The pearls and jade hanging on the corners of the roof swayed in the wind, looking quite imposing.
The people in these two carriages are the second prince and the fifth princess of Beichen Kingdom.
Song Yunchu and Shen Yue, along with a group of guards, stood up and stood outside the city gate before the team approached, ready to welcome the distinguished guests.
The envoys stopped outside the city gate.
"The Second Prince and the Fifth Princess have come a long way and must be exhausted. We are following His Majesty's orders to welcome the two highnesses into the palace."
Song Yunchu was the first to greet.
She remembered that the second male lead had an 'evil smile' in many scenes in the original novel, and his words and actions fully demonstrated his romantic and unrestrained personality.
The evil and handsome man is a relatively fashionable character setting in ancient Chinese stories. Before meeting him in person, she found it hard to imagine what this male supporting role would look like, for fear that he would be too evil and greasy.
And the next moment, she saw the curtain of the carriage being lifted.
The man sitting inside was wearing a light blue brocade robe. He had a handsome face, a pair of crescent eyes as dark as ink under his full forehead, and thin lips like maple leaves with a wicked smile, which made people feel a little cynical when looking at him.
Shangguan Qi's gaze lingered on Song Yunchu and Shen Yue for a moment, and he replied politely, "Thank you for leading the way, sirs."
Song Yunchu came back to his senses and smiled politely, "Your Highness is too polite."
I have to admit that Shangguan Qi's unruly temperament is just right. Although the original author's plot is bloody and clichéd, he still put a lot of effort into describing the characters. There are so many handsome men and beautiful women, which is very friendly to her eyes.
In terms of appearance alone, Shangguan Qi is not inferior to Jun Tianyi, but because he is given the role of the second male lead, he is doomed to fail in love.
After welcoming the envoys into the palace, Song Yunchu returned to the prime minister's residence.
As soon as he sat down, the maid Honglian served him hot tea, "My lord, are you tired today? Have a cup of tea to moisten your throat."
Song Yunchu took the teacup and asked casually, "Is there any movement from Miss Jiang's side?"
"Your Excellency, Miss Jiang has not visited Prince Yi in the past two days, but she sent someone to deliver medicine to Prince Yi's mansion."
Song Yunchu nodded, "As long as she doesn't go, it's fine. Otherwise, it would be a slap in my face."
It is impossible for Jiang Rumin not to care about Jun Tianyi. It is already very difficult for that girl to stay at home obediently.
"My lord, Miss Jiang is obsessed with Prince Yi. She turned her back on you because you injured the prince. It's too obvious that she is biased. Now Prince Yi and you have a grudge. If Miss Jiang really becomes your wife, I'm afraid she will become unfaithful in the future."
Seeing Honglian's indignation, Song Yunchu raised his eyebrows slightly, "So what do you mean?"
"Either you subdue her and make her truly loyal to you. Or..."
"Create an accident and make her disappear so that she won't hinder me in the future?" Song Yunchu took over Honglian's words.
Honglian lowered her eyes, "Yes."
Song Yunchu suppressed his smile and turned cold, "Honglian, I know you are thinking about me, but you must not have such thoughts."
"Not only you, but everyone in this mansion must remember this. Jiang Rumin is very useful to me. She must be alive. Even if she is rude to me, you can't hurt her, otherwise it will ruin my plan. Do you understand?"
Honglian quickly responded yes.
Song Yunchu said no more and lowered his head to drink tea.
In the original novel, although Prime Minister Song was cruel, he treated his subordinates well, so most of them were loyal, especially Honglian and Baizhu. The two had been lonely and helpless since childhood without any relatives. After being recruited by Prime Minister Song, they regarded Song as their benefactor and their faith, and vowed to follow him until death.
Therefore, as long as she seriously emphasized that they must not harm Jiang Rumin, they would never go beyond her orders.
"Sir, tomorrow is another day off. You haven't had a good rest for more than ten days. You don't need to go to the palace tomorrow, right?"
When mentioning the day off, Song Yunchu raised a smile at the corner of his lips, "Yeah."
The dog emperor was kind enough not to ask her to go to the imperial study to help him review memorials tomorrow.
She finally had a day of freedom.
The next day, Song Yunchu finally had her first lazy sleep since she transmigrated into the book. It was not until the sun was almost up that she opened her sleepy eyes, stretched herself, went to bed, washed up, and had breakfast.
But she was only halfway through her breakfast when she heard some news that made her unhappy.
"Sir, His Royal Highness Prince Yi has been lying at home for a few days. Now that his injuries have improved, he left the palace accompanied by his guards. He is now wandering on the street. Miss Jiang probably received the news that he left the palace and also went out. You see..."
Song Yunchu resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said indifferently, "I've finished my meal, let's go out for a walk too."
