Chapter 24: Princess falls from the building, Prime Minister Song takes action
So she quickly added, "Ms. Jiang, I know you have no interest in me, and I won't force you. If you want, we can just be friends and not talk about romance."
Jiang Rumin finally turned around to look at him, "Do you really mean what the Prime Minister said?"
"Of course I take it seriously." Song Yunchu said seriously, "However, His Majesty has been troubled by many things recently. Compared with state affairs, our affairs are obviously not worth mentioning. Miss Jiang, please be more patient. When His Majesty is in a better mood one day, I can ask him to revoke his order."
Jiang Rumin nodded, "In that case, I'll have to trouble you, Lord Song."
"However, Miss Jiang must agree to one of my requests."
Song Yunchu pretended to be stern and said, "Before our engagement is cancelled, you must not have any contact with Prince Yi, otherwise others will gossip about you, and then not only will your reputation be damaged, but I will also lose face."
"Don't worry, sir." Jiang Rumin took over the conversation, and there was a sigh in her tone, "He is now in love with my second sister, so why should I go to them and make myself unhappy?"
Song Yunchu naturally saw that Jiang Rumin was reluctant to let go of Jun Tianyi, and she had not expected Jiang Rumin to give up so quickly.
The evil fate between these two people is probably not easy to break, but she has to try more. After all, Jiang Rumin's life and death is related to the survival of this world. If Jiang Rumin suffers fewer setbacks, she will have less worries.
Song Yunchu was thinking about it when he suddenly heard the voices of passers-by talking behind him.
"This notorious bandit Zhu Tao is really not a simple person. The government has been trying to catch him for so long but still hasn't caught him. The reward has been raised from three thousand taels to five thousand taels."
"Isn't it? Whoever can catch this guy will be rich."
Song Yunchu was stunned.
The notorious bandit Zhu Tao is a minor cannon fodder who only takes up a few lines of ink in the original novel. This guy's appearance is to introduce the subsequent plot between the male and female protagonists and the fifth princess Shangguan Yun of the neighboring country.
This man was a fugitive from the imperial court. During his escape, he targeted the Fifth Princess of Beichen who had sneaked out to play. Although the Fifth Princess had changed into civilian clothes, she could not change her habit of spending lavishly. Zhu Tao, who was penniless, robbed her bag and fought with her guards. In the chaos, the Fifth Princess accidentally fell from the fourth-floor window sill and was rescued by Jun Tianyi who was passing by.
The ill-fated relationship between these two people started from here. In the old sad novels, most of the female supporting characters loved the male protagonist, and turning evil for love is an enduring routine. This crappy book is no exception. Afterwards, the Fifth Princess and the female protagonist Jiang Rumin started a bloody plot conflict over the male protagonist.
Song Yunchu thought that the direction Jun Tianyi was heading just now was the same as in the original novel. He would pass by the restaurant where the fifth princess was, and the plot of rescuing the princess would probably not change. The only difference was that the person next to him had changed from Jiang Rumin to Jiang Yuxi.
If the Fifth Princess and Jiang Yuxi fight each other, Jiang Rumin will not be in trouble for the time being.
Seeing that Song Yunchu was lost in thought, as if thinking about something, Jiang Rumin said, "My lord, I think you still have something to do. I won't bother you for now. Goodbye."
Song Yunchu was about to reply when a question suddenly flashed through his mind.
wrong!
Although Jun Tianyi's route overlaps with the original novel, his physical condition is not as good as before. His injuries have not healed yet, so he can only walk freely and cannot fully exert his own skills. When he encounters the fifth princess falling from a high building, will he still be able to catch her? Will he be able to save her in time?
In the original novel, saving the fifth princess was just a piece of cake for him. He could exert his fastest speed, but he could not easily use his internal force at the moment, and he would not damage his body for a woman he did not know. Once he was too late to take action or he was unwilling to take action... the fifth princess would fall and have a bloody head, and would either die or be disabled.
The fifth princess is a villain who is crazy about love. She did not do any evil when she first appeared. If she really fell to death or became disabled today, it would definitely affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Jiang Rumin saw Song Yunchu frowning slightly, as if he was troubled by something, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Sir Song, why..."
"Miss Jiang, I do have something else to do. Bye."
After Song Yunchu finished speaking, he turned around and left.
She walked very quickly, her eyes scanning all the shops on the right side of the street.
She didn't remember the name of the restaurant where the fifth princess had the accident in the original novel, but she could confirm that the restaurant was large in scale and looked much more imposing than ordinary restaurants.
While walking, Song Yunchu heard a noisy voice coming from the front. She looked up and saw some people standing on the side of the road, looking up at a tall building and talking.
"What happened upstairs? It sounds like someone is fighting."
"Yeah, it looks pretty intense."
"Hey, these people are really brave. They are not afraid of falling down while standing on the windowsill..."
Before the man could finish his words, he was interrupted by a woman's exclamation.
Following the sound, a slender light pink figure fell from the balcony on the fourth floor of Zuixiangju.
The people downstairs cried out in fear and regret.
It was obvious at a glance that the shadow was a girl. Falling from such a high place, her life might be in danger!
Outside the crowd, Jun Tianyi happened to pass by with Jiang Yuxi. He saw the farce on the upper floor of Zuixiangju. Seeing the pink figure falling, he wanted to catch it. However, when he was practicing his qigong, he felt a congestion in his chest. Then he realized that the injury he suffered from Song Yunchu had not healed yet. If he used his qigong to go out and pick up the person, it would probably aggravate his injury.
And in the moment he hesitated, the light pink shadow was about to land.
Some timid women on the roadside have covered their eyes.
They really couldn't bear to see the girl fall and bleed to death on the spot.
At the critical moment, a dark shadow like light smoke flashed by, and when the pink figure was about to fall to the ground, it caught her steadily!
Everything happened in an instant, and when everyone realized that the woman was rescued, they all breathed a sigh of relief and praised the person who rescued her.
"This young master is really good at fighting."
"Fortunately, this young master took action, otherwise it would have led to a tragedy."
Song Yunchu could feel the Fifth Princess trembling slightly after being caught by her, so she comforted her, "Girl, it's okay."
