Chapter 245 Your Majesty, Don't Be So Petty
Jiang Rumin was overjoyed when she heard this. Seeing the guards approaching, she quickly asked, "Where are they now? Are they all right?"
"Everything is fine. His Majesty and his men are coming back from the outskirts of the city. The first place they passed was our general's mansion. They are all gathered in the mansion now."
"I was just about to go back!" Jiang Rumin tied on her cloak and walked outside happily.
When she returned to the general's mansion, she saw from afar that there were many people sitting in the lobby.
The charcoal basin in the lobby was sizzling and everyone was drinking hot tea. Song Yunchu raised his eyes inadvertently and saw Jiang Rumin walking towards him.
Jiang Rumin met her eyes, smiled faintly, and stepped forward to salute, "Your Majesty, I greet you, Lord Song."
Jun Liluo said "no need to be polite" and Jiang Rumin sat down beside him. "Your Majesty and Lord Song both seem to have lost some weight. Have they not been doing well these days?"
Song Yunchu responded, "Your Majesty and I were rescued by a hermit master, but we were seriously injured and couldn't get used to the food, so we lost weight. Now that we are back, we just need to eat more supplements."
Jiang Rumin heard Song Yunchu mention the injury and said with concern: "Your Majesty and Lord Song disappeared behind the waterfall of Longlin Mountain. Was it an ambush? Lord Shen said that someone deliberately closed the passage behind the mountain stream."
"It's Jun Tianyi." Song Yunchu said in a deep voice, "He colluded with the Rong people and broke into the royal hunting grounds, intending to get rid of the prime minister first and then deal with your majesty. Now that Prince Yi's mansion has been sealed, your majesty will announce at the morning court tomorrow that his title will be stripped, he will be demoted to a commoner, and he will be captured as soon as possible."
Jiang Rumin was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then continued, "As a member of the royal family, you collaborated with the enemy and betrayed your country... Now you have fallen into this situation, it is really your own fault."
In fact, she had heard from General Zhao two days ago that the captured Rong people confessed to colluding with Prince Yi, and the masked man who was shot in the shoulder by His Majesty and fell off the cliff was Prince Yi. However, when Prime Minister Song led people to search for him under the cliff later, they did not find the body.
There is a river below the cliff, so the possibility of survival is not high, but it is not impossible. If you are extremely lucky and have the branches on the cliff to cushion your fall into the water, you may still have a chance of survival.
Although she was tired of Jun Tianyi, she still found it hard to believe that he was collaborating with the enemy.
How dare he?
She would not believe everything others said, but now that she had received confirmation from Song Yunchu, she believed it completely.
As the emperor's uncle, Jun Tianyi already enjoys endless wealth and glory. Why does he have to compete with Song Xiang for power and even betray the emperor?
He usually calls Prime Minister Song a dog thief...but he himself is actually a traitor!
Jiang Rumin couldn't help feeling depressed when she thought about how she had been in a relationship with such a person in the past.
Never mind, don't think too much about it, it's not her fault anyway, it's all Jun Tianyi's fault. As Prime Minister Song said, everyone has a time when they are naive and stupid.
It’s just that the girl was too young and couldn’t tell whether she was a human or a ghost.
Jiang Rumin was thinking when a maid came over to serve hot tea. When she lowered her head to hand over the tea, she saw that a corner of Jiang Rumin's cloak was black, as if it had been burned. She quickly lowered her head to check, "Miss, was your cloak burned by the charcoal basin just now?"
"Oh, this..." Jiang Rumin looked at the corner of the black cloak, feeling a little embarrassed. "I accidentally bumped into the oil lamp in the clinic and it burned a little. I was so happy to hear that His Majesty and Lord Song had returned safely that I forgot to change into another one."
It was indeed not very decent to meet guests in a burnt cloak. Yingchun, who was standing aside, did not want her master to be embarrassed, so she quickly helped out: "Miss, don't be embarrassed. That is not an ordinary oil lamp. It is a heavenly wish lamp for praying for the emperor. This lamp is also quite magical. After all, it has been enshrined in front of gods and Buddhas for many years. Of course, it is also because your majesty is blessed by gods and Buddhas. No matter what difficulties you encounter, you will be able to overcome them."
Jun Liluo was curious when he heard this, "What is the Heavenly Wish Lantern?"
"When your Majesty and Lord Song just disappeared, everyone was searching around Longlin Mountain, and Miss went with them. When we were making ginger soup for the soldiers, Miss saved a Taoist priest. In order to repay his kindness, the Taoist priest gave Miss a blessing lantern. Miss thought it was a good omen, so she prayed for your Majesty in front of the lantern every day."
Listening to Yingchun's words, Jun Liluo said, "Miss Jiang is thoughtful."
When the monarch is in trouble, countless people across the country will pray for him. This is a very normal thing, so he naturally won't think too much about it.
But Song Yunchu looked stunned.
From the moment Yingchun mentioned "Heavenly Wish Lantern", she instantly recalled an unremarkable plot in the original novel.
There was nothing special about that plot originally. It was just some sweet moments after the misunderstanding between the male and female protagonists was resolved. They traveled together, and Jiang Rumin saved an old Taoist priest and got the prop called the Tianyuan Lantern. The wish written on the lantern roughly meant - I, Jiang Rumin, wish to be with Jun Tianyi forever and grow old together.
Anyway, I can't remember clearly. At that time, she thought it was too pretentious and left a message to scold the author: The sweet moments were so cliché, and they grew old together right after the abuse. I doubt the author's mental state and it's hard to comment.
Now that she heard about this prop from Yingchun's mouth, she really couldn't hold it in anymore.
With Jiang Rumin's current state of mind, she has already forgotten Jun Tianyi. The wish she made to the Heavenly Wish Lamp this time is to wish her and the Dog Emperor safety?
That’s not quite right…
The Dog Emperor is indeed safe, but after this trip to Medicine King Valley, it seems that she has gained more benefits?
Is Jiang Rumin's wish mainly in her favor?
If that were true, she would wake up laughing in her dreams at night!
If there weren't so many people around, if she wasn't dressed as a man, she would have wanted to give Jiang Rumin a bear hug.
If she were a man, she would never let Jiang Rumin down!
Song Yunchu was overjoyed, but she didn't know that Jun Liluo glanced at her.
After some pleasantries, Jun Liluo stood up and said, "It's getting late, Yunchu, I miss the barbecue in your house."
Song Yunchu came back to his senses and responded, "I have been thinking about the food in the palace and the mansion these days. Your Majesty, please."
After being sent out of the mansion by the Zhao father and son, Jun Liluo and Song Yunchu got on the carriage back to the Song Mansion.
Jun Liluo remained silent all the way. Song Yunchu noticed that something was wrong with him and asked, "What's wrong?"
"We'll talk about it when we get there."
After the two arrived at the Song Mansion, everyone in the mansion was filled with joy. Song Yunchu asked Bai Zhu to prepare the skewers quickly, and then he and Jun Liluo went into the warm room.
"You had a sullen face all the way here, as if I owed you money."
Song Yunchu glanced at Jun Liluo and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't make me guess."
"You are really sentimental." Jun Liluo said slowly, and then leaned close to Song Yunchu's ear, "If you were really a man, you wouldn't have me in your heart, right?"
Song Yunchu twitched his lips when he heard this, "I was just thinking about it."
"You've thought about it more than once or twice." Jun Liluo said expressionlessly, "You seem to have had feelings for Concubine Li before."
"She is bright and beautiful, so naturally I have to take a few more glances. Jiang Rumin only cares about me, isn't it normal for me to like her? It's just a liking between friends. A gentleman judges by deeds, not by heart. I didn't provoke them openly. Besides, even if I really want to do something, I have to have the ability to do it."
Jun Liluo: "..."
Seeing him speechless, Song Yunchu was in a good mood and put his arm around his shoulders. "Your Majesty, don't be so petty. No matter what I think, as long as I behave properly, you shouldn't care."
"We can't change the mind-reading issue for now, so let's cherish the present. I can't give up my power, nor can I give up my love for you. I understand your feelings for me. If we want to be together, we have to accommodate each other. Sometimes my thoughts may not be very serious, so just pretend you didn't hear them."
