Chapter 35 The scumbag's boat capsized
If he were in danger on flat ground, Jun Tianyi could still escape under the cover of his guards, but if he were in danger on the water, it would be much more difficult to escape.
He didn't know what actions Song Yunchu had planned, but he was sure that Song Yunchu couldn't bear to see Jun Tianyi get along well.
He and Song Yunchu had not discussed with each other in advance about taking action against Jun Tianyi, but they both sent people today, which was really a tacit understanding.
"It turns out that Yunchu brought a beautiful lady with him." Jun Liluo smiled at Song Yunchu, "Then I really can't keep you..."
Before Jun Liluo finished his words, Jiang Rumin appeared behind Song Yunchu.
"Of course, it's your Majesty who is most important! Your Majesty is busy with all kinds of affairs and it's rare for him to leave the palace to relax. As a close confidant, Lord Song should stay and accompany your Majesty."
Jiang Rumin was not very happy about the lake cruise. She subconsciously did not want to get too close to Song Yunchu, but the invitation was delivered to her door and it was difficult to refuse. Now that she had the opportunity to push Song Yunchu to the emperor, she naturally spoke up quickly.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about me. I have two maids to keep me company, so I am not afraid of being lonely."
The moment Jiang Rumin opened her mouth, Song Yunchu knew that she wanted to run away, but she couldn't let Jiang Rumin slip away like that.
She wanted the girl to stay and watch the show together.
Jun Tianyi's pleasure boat was nearby. Ever since Jiang Rumin was stabbed in the alley, she had ordered people to keep an eye on Jiang Yuxi. It was Jiang Yuxi's idea to cruise on the lake, and the large pleasure boat with two wings flying side by side was also selected by Jiang Yuxi herself in advance. Jun Tianyi has always been generous, and he had the painting studio carefully decorated to give it a sense of ceremony.
He prepared similar sense of ritual for Jiang Rumin several times in the later part of the original novel, which moved the silly girl to tears. The girl didn't understand the truth that belated affection is cheaper than grass at all.
"Miss Jiang, on a day like today, no matter where you go, it will be very busy, with many people and eyes everywhere. I am really worried, so it is better for you not to leave my sight."
When Song Yunchu said this, Jiang Rumin was stunned.
Indeed, she had just been attacked in the alley a few days ago. Although she guessed that it was Jiang Yuxi who did it, there were no witnesses or evidence after all, so she couldn't control Jiang Yuxi. If Jiang Yuxi continued to send people to harm her, staying with Song Xiang was indeed the best choice for her.
"How about this, Your Majesty rarely has a moment of relaxation, so you and I will stay and entertain Your Majesty. You are an excellent pianist, so please pick a few of your best songs to play, and Your Majesty and I will have a lot of fun while listening to your piano music and playing chess."
Song Yunchu said, and turned to ask Jun Liluo, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Jun Liluo raised his eyebrows slightly, "Very good."
For him, it would be best if Song Yunchu could stay with him, so he could listen more to this guy's thoughts.
Soon, the attendants brought the chessboard, and the two men sat opposite each other, each holding a chess piece. Jiang Rumin sat a few feet away, raised his hand and slowly plucked the strings of the zither.
The clear and unrestrained piano music like a mountain spring flowed out from her white fingertips. Song Yunchu listened and couldn't help but sigh in his heart - she is worthy of being the heroine, with all the elegant skills maxed out, and the piano music is really soothing to listen to.
Jun Liluo also agreed with Song Yunchu's evaluation, but in his opinion, no voice could interest him more than Song Yunchu's voice.
Listening to Song Yunchu's inner voice is his greatest pleasure now.
At the same time, on the other side of the houseboat, Jun Tianyi was enjoying delicious food with Jiang Yuxi when he suddenly heard a familiar piano sound that he had not heard for a long time, which made him pause.
He had only heard such pleasant piano music and such a familiar melody from one person.
Jiang Yuxi noticed his abnormality and was a little puzzled, "Prince, what's wrong with you?"
Jun Tianyi came back to his senses and put a piece of dessert into Jiang Yuxi's bowl. "Nothing, try this dessert, it tastes very good."
He tried his best to ignore the piano music, but it continued, like a feather plucking at his heart.
The sound of the piano was always there, which meant that the distance between him and Jiang Rumin was not far.
Is she also on a nearby pleasure boat?
Did she come out to play with her two personal maids, or was she traveling with someone like him?
Jiang Yuxi saw that Jun Tianyi was absent-minded again and gritted her teeth secretly.
He was clearly chatting and laughing with her just a moment ago, but how come he was distracted again? Looking at his expression, it seemed as if he was thinking about Jiang Rumin again.
By the way, it seemed that something was wrong with him after he heard the sound of the piano.
She didn't have a good relationship with Jiang Rumin, but she also knew that Jiang Rumin was good at playing the piano. Listening carefully to the sound of the piano, it did sound familiar. Such a melodious and clear melody seemed like something Jiang Rumin would play.
Even though she was angry, Jiang Yuxi could only hold back and not vent her anger. She picked up a piece of crispy meat with chopsticks and gave it to Jun Tianyi.
She was just about to ask Jun Tianyi to eat more when she heard a scream outside the cabin.
"What's going on? Why is the boat leaking? It was fine just now!"
"What are you yelling about? Block them now!"
Jiang Yuxi was already in a bad mood, and hearing the noise outside made her even less in the mood to eat, so she put down her chopsticks and walked out.
I saw two guards squatting at the bow, using cloth to wrap wooden blocks to block the holes in the bed.
There was already some water in the boat, and Jiang Yuxi was shocked when she saw it. "How could this happen? Didn't you check the boat beforehand?"
"Miss, there was no problem with the ship at first, but just now suddenly..."
Before the guard could finish his words, someone on the other side shouted, "Hurry up and help us, the boat is leaking!"
Inside the cabin, Jun Tianyi heard the continuous shouting and came back to his senses from the sound of the piano. He quickly got up and went out to check the situation.
The pleasure boat was already tilted visibly.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard a loud noise under his feet!
The entire pleasure boat tilted straight toward the water, as if it was lifted up by a huge force.
Jiang Yuxi screamed in fright.
"ah--"
She was totally unable to react. The boat was clearly on the calm lakeside, but how could it be hit by huge waves on the sea and capsize so suddenly?
A few feet away, Song Yunchu heard the noise and raised the corners of his lips slightly.
She selected ten of the best swimmers from the Prime Minister's secret guards, and had them sneak under Jun Tianyi's pleasure boat. They would first drill a hole at the edge of the bow. The people on the boat would panic and try to remedy the situation, causing the boat to lose balance. The sailors would then seize the opportunity to work together and hit the other side hard, thus capsizing the unbalanced boat.
