Chapter 40 He felt that Song Yunchu was possessed
"You don't need to apologize for this." Song Yunchu said, "They are right. It is your credit that no one died today. Under the premise that everyone has been poisoned by the incense, His Majesty still has a few people who can retain sufficient physical strength, which means that he has the upper hand."
She did blame Jiang Rumin when she fell into the water, but after she calmed down and thought about it carefully, she felt that Jiang Rumin's behavior was understandable.
Holding the love incense and the antidote in hand, they gave the antidote to the emperor as soon as possible. From the perspective of the emperor and his guards, there was nothing wrong with this behavior.
She was the only unlucky one. She had the highest martial arts skills but was forced to be attacked together with the others. Also, because the original owner had a very bad reputation, the assassins tried their best to kill her when they couldn't kill Jun Li Luo. She attracted more firepower, so it was naturally easier for Jun Li Luo.
Fortunately, the Dog Emperor had a conscience and went into the water to save her personally. She just choked on a few mouthfuls of lake water and was not seriously injured.
"Oh, right." Song Yunchu suddenly remembered something and turned to ask Jiang Rumin, "How did His Royal Highness Prince Yi get on?"
After the assassin from Rong State appeared, she no longer had time to pay attention to Jun Tianyi's situation, but she knew that Jiang Rumin would definitely pay attention to it.
Judging from Jiang Rumin's expression, she didn't seem worried at all, so Jun Tianyi was probably out of danger as well.
As expected, Jiang Rumin replied: "The assassins on the prince's side were easier to deal with than ours. The prince suffered some flesh wounds, but he also killed several assassins. The rest of the assassins were probably scared and quickly retreated, unlike the assassins on our side, who seemed to be fearless."
At this point, she sighed, "I saw two of them with white hair. At their age, they should be staying at home and enjoying the care of their children. Their country has been lost, so why do they still insist on revenge when they know they have little chance of winning..."
"Perhaps they have lost their children too, or perhaps they are all elders in the military camp. These people are all good at martial arts, and the old men who are still able to take action at such an old age must have fought for half their lives. I heard that when the Rong Kingdom was destroyed, some soldiers managed to escape, and these survivors may continue to plan actions in the future."
"How pitiful."
Jiang Rumin murmured, "They originally had a beautiful homeland, but because their land was not prosperous enough, they were razed to the ground. Tianqi is a powerful country, why did they force them to this point?"
"The strong prey on the weak, and the fittest survive. The Rong Kingdom was destroyed because it was weak, and the weak will not be treated well in this world, so even if you pity those people, you cannot blame the late emperor and Your Majesty."
Song Yunchu's face darkened, and his tone was somewhat cold and hard. "If what you just said was heard by someone with ulterior motives, you would probably be accused of disrespecting the late emperor. I know you have a good heart, but you should be careful with your words and actions."
Jiang Rumin listened to Song Yunchu's serious warning and realized that what he had just said was indeed inappropriate. He quickly responded, "Yes, thank you Sir Song for your warning."
Not long after, the carriage stopped outside the Duke's Mansion. Jiang Rumin got off the carriage and thanked Song Yunchu: "Thank you, Lord Song."
When Song Yunchu saw her enter the house, he lowered the curtain and asked the coachman to drive the carriage to the center of the street.
Although the lake cruise was canceled, she was still interested in watching the lantern parade at night.
The Grand Hyatt Restaurant in the center of the street is the tallest building on the street. On the Lantern Festival, many guests will gather upstairs. The fourth floor has the best view. Standing at the window and looking down at the lanterns is an extremely beautiful night view.
She asked Bai Zhu to book a private room on the fourth floor one day in advance. When she pushed the door open, the fruits and snacks on the table were already prepared. She was about to enter the room but was stopped by the waiter.
"Sir Song, the distinguished guest from Room 3 wants to see you."
"Who is the distinguished guest in room number three?" Song Yunchu looked to the right side of the corridor. Room number three was only two rooms away from hers.
"You'll know when you get there. There's already all the good wine and food ready."
Song Yunchu raised his eyebrows slightly and walked towards the room.
As she approached, someone opened the door for her.
She looked up and saw Jun Liluo sitting by the window sill. He smiled at her and said, "I originally thought that you, Yun Chu, were accompanying your beloved, but I didn't expect you to be here. It's said that the fourth floor of this restaurant has the best view. It would be a bit lonely if we each stayed in a room. It's better for us to get together and talk."
Song Yunchu didn't believe that Jun Li Luo's appearance was a coincidence. He intuitively felt that he had mastered the trajectory of his actions and that was why he chose this restaurant.
Although she was not happy to be with Jun Liluo, she still remembered the proper manners and said, "Your humble servant has met..."
"Hey, you don't have to be so polite outside the palace." Jun Liluo interrupted her, "I have said it many times, I treat you as a good friend, as long as it is not a big occasion, you don't need to be polite when you are with me privately, sit down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Song Yunchu sat down with a smile, snorting in his heart.
[Heh, you speak better than singing. If I really don’t treat you politely, I will not show courtesy to you every time we meet. I want to see if you will bear a grudge.]
[When we were boating on the lake, you came to occupy my territory, and now you want to join me when watching the lanterns. You also said that we should each have a quiet place. With so many followers around you, how can you be quiet? ]
[No employee wants to be with their boss during their vacation. I just wonder why it is so difficult to have fun on my own.]
Jun Li Luo listened to her inner thoughts, lowered his eyes, and nonchalantly picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
Why is Song Yunchu so unwilling to stay with him?
He thought he was very kind to Song Yunchu. Not only did he give him a high position and generous salary, but he also rarely put on airs in front of him. Other ministers did not have such an honor. Moreover, when he went into the water to save Song Yunchu, Song Yunchu was still praising his good looks in his heart, but now he began to find him annoying.
It is said that the mind of a king is hard to predict, but he feels that Song Yunchu's mind is even more unpredictable.
"Yun Chu, have you ever tried the signature dishes of this restaurant?" Jun Li Luo still smiled gently, "They all taste pretty good, try them. And this plum blossom wine is sweet and refreshing, it should suit your taste."
He always stayed with Song Yunchu, simply because he wanted to solve the mystery in his heart.
After getting off the pleasure boat, he had been thinking about what Song Yunchu said.
Inheriting everything from Song Xiang, the soul of modern people...
An incredible guess came to his mind.
He could confirm that the body sitting opposite him was still Song Yunchu's body, but perhaps Song Yunchu's consciousness was no longer there, and the current Song Yunchu... was possessed by another person.
Although this guess sounds absurd, it seems to make sense when combined with Song Yunchu's inner thoughts.
