Chapter 321 Song Qing is resourceful
Hua Zhuang lowered her eyes and remained silent.
The princess has always been smart and wise, but the appearance of Jun Tianyi has obviously reduced the princess's rationality.
That man followed the princess shamelessly, enjoying all the benefits provided by the princess with peace of mind. How could he, a criminal with a bad reputation, have the qualifications?
Of course it was good for him to be separated from the princess. As his subordinates, they even thought it would be better if he died.
He was just an outsider anyway, so what if he was wronged? He could not bring any benefit to the princess, but instead caused trouble. Now that Prince Ning had used a trick to separate the two of them and made the princess hate that guy, it was a good result.
Although the princess also suffered, but...between two evils, choose the lesser one. Compared with the possible disasters in the future, short-term pain will be more acceptable.
It seems that Prince Ning intends to put this matter behind him in order to save the princess's face and the face of the Xiling royal family.
Thinking of this, Hua Zhuang raised her eyes to look at Song Yunchu, "Just as Prince Ning said, when you release me one day, I will tell everyone that it was Jun Tianyi who murdered the princess and kidnapped me. I hope Your Highness will keep his promise and preserve the princess's reputation."
"Very good." Song Yunchu smiled. "In the next few days, I will ask Miss Huazhuang to stay in this small house temporarily. If you need anything, just tell Second Mother."
"Sister, you must be hungry. Come and have something to eat." Hu Erniang smiled and took the bird's nest on the table and came to the bed. "The food in our house is delicious. Come and try it."
“…”
The next day, the morning glow was beautiful.
In the guest room at the backyard of Ruihe Hall, Si Lianhuan sat at the table in her clothes and wrote a handwritten letter.
She sealed the letter and handed it to Huaying behind her.
Huaying took the secret letter and put it in her arms. When she left the house, she met Jiang Rumin who came to deliver the medicinal food.
"Miss Huaying, won't you stay and have dinner with us?"
"No, I'll come back later. I'm really sorry to bother you these past two days, Miss Jiang."
"No need to bother."
When Jiang Rumin entered the room, she saw Si Lianhuan sitting at the table and quickly reminded her, "Princess, your body is not fully recovered yet. Don't sit down. Go back to lie on the couch."
"It's okay. It's not very comfortable to lie down for a long time. I have some strength now and can eat by myself."
Si Lianhuan looked at the medicinal food that was brought in front of her, picked up the spoon, and drank it silently.
Jiang Rumin saw that she was in a bad mood, so she asked tentatively, "Princess, are you still upset about the poisoning?"
"No, he doesn't deserve me to feel sad for him." Si Lianhuan gritted her teeth, "I just hate myself for being stupid! He is such an arrogant person, and I restrained him for many days, and I beat and scolded him, but I actually thought he would be truly grateful to me..."
She did not deny that she did have a good impression of Jun Tianyi in the beginning, but as they spent more time together, she found that this man was not as decisive as before, and her liking for him gradually faded.
She had previously offered to give him some money to get rid of him, not as a test. If he really chose to take the money and leave, she would not try to keep him.
She only hated herself for not being able to judge people well, and also hated Jun Tianyi's cruelty for taking revenge on her just for that ridiculous self-esteem.
"Being...beaten and scolded by you?" Jiang Rumin raised his eyebrows almost invisibly.
Jun Tianyi has always been aloof, and she was really curious about what he would be like when he became a coward.
In the words of His Royal Highness Prince Ning, Jun Tianyi, as a criminal, is not equal to the princess. He is like a male concubine, and the princess is the master. If the master beats and scolds the male concubine, the male concubine has to endure it no matter how unwilling he is.
"May I ask you, Princess, how many times have you beaten and scolded him?"
Si Lianhuan actually heard a hint of gloating in Jiang Rumin's tone.
"I slapped him once, and the corner of his mouth was bleeding. That time he went to see you secretly without telling me, and was discovered by King Qi. Afterwards, he explained to me that your mother was friends with his mother, and he was just paying respects to his elders."
"You believe this reason." Jiang Rumin was a little amused, "When my mother was alive, I never saw him come to pay his respects."
"He only hit me once. As for the verbal ridicule, I don't remember how many times he had done it. Now that I think about it, he must have hated me for a long time, but he just kept it to himself."
"Your guess should be correct." Jiang Rumin agreed, "He is the most vengeful person I have ever seen. If I tell you that the original reason he hated His Royal Highness Prince Ning was just because His Majesty granted me marriage to Prince Ning, and he lost the sparring match with Prince Ning, and from then on, he would never stop fighting, would you believe it?"
Si Lianhua was surprised, "Just like that, they became enemies?"
"If you knew what he had done to me, you would understand why I hate him so much."
"you say."
…
Cheonggyesa Temple.
The sounds of wooden fish echoed in the elegant Zen room.
"My lady, this is the wine given to you by the palace."
Hearing the words of the nanny behind her, Concubine Yi paused.
She is now in a state of seclusion and cannot eat meat or drink alcohol. The palace gave her some wine...
No need to guess, you know what kind of wine it is.
Before this, the emperor spared her life because clan members repeatedly pleaded for her. On the one hand, this was to show his benevolence, and on the other hand, the emperor did not take her, a weak woman, seriously.
But now the emperor doesn't plan to keep her?
In fact, it doesn’t matter whether she can survive or not, as long as Yier is safe.
Anyway, when they met yesterday, she told him all the forces she had left outside the mansion, so she had no regrets.
Thinking of this, Concubine Yi turned around calmly, took the wine from the nanny, poured a glass and drank it.
But the strange thing was that after she drank the wine, she didn't feel any discomfort.
Could it be that the effect of this poison wine is too slow?
She waited for a long time, but the poison didn't take effect, which made her feel confused.
She was really confused and could only ask the nanny behind her, "Isn't this poisoned wine? Why doesn't it work?"
"You are joking. How can this be poisoned?" The nanny replied, "I never said it was poisoned. Besides, His Majesty has always been kind and benevolent. Since he accepted the advice of the clan members and allowed you to practice, how could he poison you to death?"
"Then what on earth is this thing?" Concubine Yi felt uneasy.
If she drank poisoned wine, it would be fine if she died. Once she died, Yier would be sad, but there was no need to always think about rescuing her. She knew very well that it was unlikely for her to escape from here.
But if it wasn't poisoned wine, then the emperor wanted to torture her slowly.
She also came from the palace and knew that there were many ways to torture people in the palace.
"Don't worry, madam. You won't die. This is just a bottle of palace wine."
Of course, Concubine Yi did not believe such talk.
When she found out that the wine was not poisoned, she felt a little uneasy, but she had to admit...she didn't want to die unless it was absolutely necessary.
She could sacrifice herself for Yier, but now Yier was still alive and no one was forcing her to die, so she couldn't commit suicide.
But she was really worried that something might go wrong with the wine she drank. After all, the emperor was not a merciful person.
Now that things have come to this, we can only take it one step at a time.
If the time comes when she can no longer bear it...she will give herself a quick death and will never drag Yi'er down.
…
"Your Highness, His Majesty has arrived and is coming your way."
Song Yunchu was originally leaning against the bedroom window reading a book. When he listened to Bai Zhu's report, he raised his eyebrows slightly.
When Jun Li Luo came to see her at night, he almost never let anyone know.
She got up and went outside, and soon saw Jun Li Luo.
After Jun Li Luo entered the room, their followers all retreated.
"It's so late, Your Majesty still has time to come."
"Your cough has healed, so I came to talk to you."
Jun Liluo closed the door and turned around. Song Yunchu naturally raised his hand, put his arm around his shoulders, walked to the table, and pressed him down on the chair.
She stood behind him, leaning down and putting her weight on his back.
"Si Lianhua wrote a secret letter and sent it back to Xiling Country today. It won't be long before we receive the news."
Jun Liluo heard Song Yunchu whispering in his ear, "You promised me at the beginning that you would give me a share of the profits after the deal was done. I negotiated a 30-70 split to a 50-50 split, but it took a lot of effort."
"My Yunchu is the best."
Jun Liluo held her hand that had fallen on his chest and said, "Of course you will get the share of the dividends you deserve."
"Your Majesty is sensible and benevolent." Song Yunchu lowered his head and pecked Jun Liluo on the right cheek.
"Song Qing is resourceful and thoughtful." Jun Li Luo pulled her into his arms and sat her down.
"You used this trick of framing others very well. Si Lianhuan was poisoned and was rescued, and you saved her face. How could she not return the favor? But she was too indulgent towards Jun Tianyi, and actually allowed him to disguise himself as a woman to meet Concubine Yi."
"It's useless to blame her now. More enemies are not as good as more allies. After all, she can bring us benefits. There are no permanent enemies in front of benefits."
Song Yunchu stroked the sapphire ring on Jun Liluo's finger. "Besides, Si Lianhuan wasn't actually an enemy before. It was within our expectations that she would protect Jun Tianyi. I didn't expect things to be too good from the beginning, so I wasn't mad at her. Thinking about dividing the treasure house equally makes me feel much better."
Si Lianhuan knew very little about Jun Tianyi's past, so it was good that she was willing to stand on their side now. She had the Xiling Kingdom behind her, which was not inferior to the Tianqi Kingdom. Now that she was willing to admit her mistakes, it would be beneficial to future cooperation.
"From the fighting in the bamboo forest at that time, it seems that Concubine Yi left a lot of people for Jun Tianyi. On the bright side, this is a good opportunity to lure out all the forces behind them and settle accounts with them at once, so that no one will want to avenge them after they die in the future."
"Yun Chu is absolutely right." Jun Li Luo sniffed the light fragrance of her hair and slowly pressed his lips against her earlobe.
Song Yunchu felt the warm breath behind his ear, turned his head, raised his hands, cupped the back of his head, and kissed him.
After their lips touched for a long time, Jun Liluo picked her up and carried her sideways.
As soon as Song Yunchu was placed on the couch, he grabbed Jun Liluo's shoulders and pushed him to the inside of the bed.
"Yun Chu."
"Um?"
"You can also call me something nice."
"What do you want to hear? A Luo, Xiao Luo, Luo Luo..."
Jun Liluo: "..."
After being speechless for a moment, he said bluntly: "I think it sounds better to call you Brother Luo."
"Then call me sister more often."
"...Don't even think about it!" He was drunk last time and was fooled by her. Now that he is sober, he will not call her by random names.
"You're not happy when I ask you to call me sister."
"I'm two years older than you." Jun Liluo once again emphasized the age gap between the two. "Don't talk to me about psychological age. I only talk about actual age."
"Oh, let's not talk about that. Aren't you here specifically to sleep with me? Don't waste this beautiful time."
“…”
Before I knew it, it was late at night.
A winery in the east of the city was still brightly lit.
"Your Majesty, the princess has been staying in Ruihe Hall for the past two days. There are many people guarding inside and outside the clinic. It is obvious that the poison she was poisoned with is not simple. Miss Jiang needs to take care of her every day."
"Miss Jiang is now on good terms with Prince Ning. If you continue to get along with the princess for a long time, it is inevitable that the princess will lean towards Prince Ning. The moment we leave the Bamboo Garden, it is destined that the princess will no longer trust you."
"The princess' poisoning may be related to Prince Ning, but we can't prove it now, otherwise we can stir up disputes between them."
Jun Tianyi stood by the windowsill, listening to the report from the gray-clothed man behind him with a tense expression.
He had no doubt that Song Yunchu poisoned Si Lianhuan, he was sure that it was Song Yunchu who did it.
In order to make friends with Si Lianhuan and get Si Lianhuan to do him a favor, that guy is really insidious and cunning.
Originally he had hoped that Si Lianhuan could provide him with assistance, but now... the only people left by his mother were left by his side.
He had to admire his mother's foresight.
"It's all my fault that I have implicated my mother." He placed his hands on the windowsill and clenched his fists. "My mother should have been enjoying herself, but because of my failure, she has to be trapped in Qingxi Temple..."
"I know that the prince misses his mother very much, but we cannot go to Qingxi Temple now. The master is only thinking about you and does not want you to take risks again. I beg you not to act rashly. The master's greatest wish is that you can be safe. If you expose yourself to save her, you will fail her hard work."
The gray-clothed man paused and continued, "In addition, in addition to the silver she left for you, this farm can also be sold for a lot of money. The master means that the days of wealth and luxury can no longer be returned, but these she left behind are enough for you to have food and clothing without worries. The imperial city is not safe after all, so it is better to leave this place and find a remote city to hide your identity and ensure a stable life for the rest of your life."
"Incognito?"
Jun Tianyi repeated these words in a cold tone, "Then I won't take revenge? Will my mother not care about me? She cares about me, so how can I be a coward?"
"But with our current strength, we can't compete with King Ning at all."
"As long as I stay, how do I know there will be no chance? If I abandon my mother and let go of my hatred and linger on, I will never have peace for the rest of my life! I must save my mother and avenge my hatred. No matter how difficult it is, I have to try."
