Chapter 257 Yun Chu, I Can't Sleep
When Song Yunchu returned to the lobby, Chu Yuni had already fallen asleep beside the wine jar.
Song Yunchu picked up the jar of wine and shook it. There was only a little left in it.
This guy drinks quite a lot.
Suddenly, he heard footsteps behind him. Song Yunchu turned around and saw that the person coming was Hu Si Niang.
As soon as Hu Si Niang approached, she smelled the smell of alcohol in the air and glanced at the person lying on the table. "What's wrong with Master Chu?"
"He was in a bad mood. I kept him at my house to drink. He is already drunk. I will have someone send him back to the Chu family later."
When Song Yunchu saw that Hu Si Niang looked worried, he asked her, "Are you worried about your elder sister and the others?"
Hu Si Niang nodded. "My third sister and I have been squatting outside Prince Yi's mansion these days, but to no avail. After Prince Yi's failure, some people escaped from the mansion. They should have met Prince Yi, right? I'm wondering, isn't there anyone who can take care of Concubine Yi?"
"The ordinary servants in Prince Yi's mansion were interrogated separately by the Criminal Department. The result was that Concubine Yi did not know the identities of the remnants of the Rong Kingdom. She only thought they were retainers. It was quite reasonable to think about it. She could not help at all in the conspiracy. Jun Tianyi did not want her to be frightened, so there was no need to tell her."
Song Yunchu paused and said, "In the past few days, many ministers and royal family members have come to the court to plead for her. After all, she is a concubine of the same generation as Emperor Taizu, two generations older than Your Majesty. In addition, the ministers said that she is a woman and does not have the courage to betray the court. At most, she was deceived by Prince Yi. If Your Majesty wants to punish her, he can only accuse her of not teaching her son well, not treason."
"After consideration, His Majesty decided to imprison her on the spot. Jun Tianyi will naturally be concerned about her. After all, the bond between mother and son is thicker than blood. But he can't protect himself now. The people around him will definitely persuade him to hide. Do you think he has the courage to come out and see the concubine?"
"I really can't guess that." Hu Si Niang curled her lips. "Although he is a bastard, he is still very good to his own mother. I hope that he misses his mother so much that he can come to see the concubine. If he is caught, I can see my eldest sister and the others again."
"There will always be a chance to see them. The bounty has been issued, and every household in the city has been searched by soldiers. The only place they can hide is probably the outskirts of the city. Now the outskirts of the city are also full of soldiers. Whether it is a temple or a farmer's house, any place where people can hide will not be spared."
Song Yunchu sneered when he said this, "I want to see how long Jun Tianyi can stay in the wilderness."
The scumbag had never been in such a bad situation in the original book, and now he finally got his comeuppance.
Does he know about her knighthood?
He cannot enter the city, but the people around him can. If someone brings this news to him, he will probably get sick from anger, right?
She felt happy when she thought about how the bastard was now poor and might even have trouble getting enough food and clothing.
"By the way, Si Niang, when you have time, spend more time with Nan Yan. You two are in the same industry, so maybe you can get along well."
"Yes." Hu Si Niang agreed, "I will take her out for a walk tomorrow."
As the two were talking, Chu Yuni, who was lying on the table, suddenly spoke.
“Hmm…”
"A slim lady is a good match for a gentleman. I...bring you some wine! Drink!"
Song Yunchu: “…”
Hu Si Niang also twitched her lips slightly, "It sounds like the girl has rejected me."
"Nothing, ignore him, he's just talking in his sleep."
Song Yunchu said as he walked outside the hall and called the servants, "Send Master Chu back to the Chu family and tell his family that he doesn't need to go to the palace to work tomorrow. Let him sober up at home."
…
The next day, the weather was gloomy.
Seeing that the sky was still overcast at noon, Jun Liluo instructed Manager Li to warm up a pot of osmanthus wine during lunch.
"This memorial from Prince Gong said that Concubine Yi has always been conscientious in her duties. It is pitiful that she was implicated by Prince Yi this time. She should not be severely punished. She usually lives in seclusion. It is better to send her to a nunnery to accompany the ancient Buddha with green lamps. In this way, the people will not accuse the emperor of being ruthless. What do you think, Yun Chu?"
"Ordinary people can be implicated for their mistakes, but the royal family never talks about implicating others for their mistakes. Concubine Yi is in an awkward situation now. Although she didn't know about the treason, as the mother of a traitor, she can no longer enjoy the court's preferential treatment. Prince Gong's proposal is not only out of sympathy for her, but also for your reputation of benevolence. It is quite reasonable."
Song Yunchu paused and said, "But if Concubine Yi is sent to become a nun early, wouldn't that bastard Jun Tianyi be completely relieved? He will think that Concubine Yi is safe and doesn't need him to worry about her all the time."
"That's right." Jun Liluo raised his eyebrows. "So, I will approve Prince Gong's proposal, but before we implement it, we have to make use of Concubine Yi."
"Your Majesty wants to..."
"If Concubine Yi becomes depressed and ill due to insomnia and is already in a serious condition, do you think Jun Tianyi will show up?"
Jun Liluo said calmly, "He has been on the run for some time. The guards outside Prince Yi's Mansion are very tight. It is difficult for the people he sent out to get any information, but they may observe secretly. At this critical juncture, as long as there are imperial doctors entering and leaving Prince Yi's Mansion every day, it will definitely attract their attention."
"Good idea." Song Yunchu said with a smile, "Then let's send the imperial physician today without further delay."
"It's time for dinner, we should eat."
Jun Li Luo put down the memorial and told Chief Steward Li to serve the meal. He also told him to go to Prince Yi's mansion to summon the imperial physician.
Soon, palace servants came in one after another carrying dishes.
Jun Liluo and Song Yunchu had only finished eating half of their meal when they heard the sound of rain outside the window.
Jun Li Luo didn't like rainy days before, but now he thinks rainy days are not bad.
It was raining, so Yun Chu could stay in the palace naturally.
"Little Li, the roads are slippery in rainy days, and it is inconvenient to take a carriage. Go and have someone clean up the East Warm Pavilion of Changle Palace for Prince Ning to stay for one night."
Song Yunchu looked up at Jun Liluo and saw that he looked calm and was eating elegantly.
[You dog emperor, the abacus beads are falling on my face. ]
[The rain doesn't look that heavy. Even if it's raining now, it's still uncertain whether it will rain in the evening. Do you really need to have people clean up the warm room now? ]
"Yun Chu, today's drunken sweet shrimp is very delicious." Jun Liluo said calmly, "Try it."
Song Yunchu smiled and continued, "Your Majesty's imperial meal, every dish is excellent."
【Pretend to die.】
That night, the wind was cool and bleak.
Song Yunchu sat in the east warm room reading a book, and the sound of rain outside the window gradually stopped.
Although the rain was not heavy, it continued to fall until night.
The rain had just stopped for a while when she heard several footsteps outside the house.
"Yun Chu, are you still awake?" Jun Li Luo's voice came in, "I can't sleep, so I want to play a few games of chess with you."
