Chapter 53 The Emperor's Heart is Dirty
Song Yunchu stared at the black chicken soup in front of him, stunned for a moment, then turned to thank Jun Liluo, "I feel honored to receive such care from your majesty."
"Drink it while it's hot." Jun Liluo said, "This soup is used to replenish qi and blood, and it will be of great benefit to the injured."
Song Yunchu responded with a yes and picked up the spoon.
[This soup smells really good. It's rare for the dog emperor to have a conscience. It's worth my hard work for him every day.]
Jun Li Luo listened to her inner thoughts and snorted coldly.
Since everyone knows how good Song Yunchu is, why do you always call him the Dog Emperor in your heart?
I don’t know when I can get rid of that word “dog”.
But to be honest, ever since he ascended the throne, everyone has been either flattering or respectful to him, and no one dared to be impolite at all. He enjoyed the honor of being above everyone else, but he also felt that it would be quite boring if everyone around him was like this.
So - it was a real pleasure for him to hear Song Yunchu's inner thoughts.
It’s just that this person sometimes curses too much, and he always feels a little unhappy.
Song Yunchu's right arm was not able to move, so he could only drink the soup with his left hand. During this time, he suddenly remembered something and asked the emperor, "By the way, Your Majesty, do you know the origin of the assassin last night?"
"As soon as he took off his mask last night, someone recognized him. You may not believe it, but he is a Yuhou in the Yulin Army, named Chen She. Because of his outstanding strength, many people know him. The moment Chen Yue saw him last night, his eyes widened."
When Song Yun first heard this, he was indeed a little surprised, but then he found it reasonable.
The people from the Yulin Army... No wonder they are familiar with the layout of the palace. They were able to choose such a remote place to meet Jiang Rumin, because they were sure that the patrolmen at that time period would not have arrived yet or had already passed by.
"That man's strength is indeed outstanding. Even Bai Zhu can only tie with him. As long as he gains some experience, it will not be difficult for him to climb to a higher position. But for such a promising man to take the risk to assassinate the daughter of the Duke's Mansion... It is really puzzling."
"I also found it a little unbelievable, so I ordered him to be severely tortured."
Jun Liluo said this, looking at Song Yunchu with a half-smile, "Guess what reason he gave?"
Song Yunchu saw that the emperor's words seemed to have a hint of ridicule, so he asked tentatively, "Is it related to this humble minister?"
"Yes, that guy's original words were - he couldn't stand Song Xiang's success, and he hated and despised Song Xiang, but he knew that he was not as strong as Song Xiang, so he could only choose to kill Song Xiang's fiancée, making Song Xiang sad and upset, which would also comfort his heart a little."
Song Yunchu: “…”
[You must be crazy to come up with such an excuse. I don’t even know this person.]
[I have all the memories of the original owner, and I have impressions of the important characters. This person might be a character who only appears briefly in the original novel. I can't even remember his name, and I don't know where he popped out from.]
"Your Majesty, his reason is far-fetched."
Song Yunchu tried to maintain a calm tone and said, "I have never heard of this person, and I don't remember having any grudges against him. He must be talking nonsense to cover up the truth."
At first she thought that the man had taken money from Jiang Yuxi to kill Jiang Rumin, but now she had to overturn her guess.
The assassin was a Yu Hou, a fifth-rank official. There was no need for him to gamble his future for a moment of greed. Even if he really wanted money, Jiang Yuxi was not even a princess yet, and she did not have that much money to satisfy the appetite of a fifth-rank official.
So... it is very likely that the person has a weak spot that Jiang Yuxi has discovered, right?
It is easier to interrogate someone who has been bribed by money, but if his weak spot is found, it would be difficult to get him to tell the truth.
"I also think his excuse sounds like a fabrication, but no matter how hard I interrogate him, he can't come up with anything else to say."
Jun Li Luo said this and sighed, "Yun Chu, because I think too highly of you, you have been criticized a lot. It's hard for you. People in the world are always swallowed up by greed and jealousy. They think you are currying favor with the powerful, but I know very well that your loyalty to the emperor has never changed."
When Song Yunchu heard what Jun Liluo said, a look of emotion appeared on his face.
"With your majesty's trust and respect, I have nothing to fear even if I suffer a lot of criticism."
[The dog emperor speaks better than he sings, and you obviously enjoyed watching the show. ]
[Others say I'm a treacherous villain, you probably agree in your heart, right? You're being nice to me on the surface, but it's because you can't find a more suitable worker than me for the time being.]
【Since ancient times, emperors who played political games had dirty hearts. They used treacherous ministers to do dirty work for them, and finally destroyed the treacherous ministers. In the end, people only talked about the emperor's reputation. How could they know that the emperor's heart was like a mirror.】
[I can only say... being an emperor is so comfortable. ]
Jun Liluo listened to all her thoughts and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
Are all emperors evil-minded?
There’s actually nothing wrong with saying this.
The reason why he can sit on the dragon throne today is because he conspired with Song Yunchu in the past to get rid of his brothers.
The royal family has a weak affection. Even siblings from the same mother may fight with each other, let alone half-siblings. They are nothing but rivals.
If a country is strong, the people will only praise the wisdom of the emperor. As for the emperor's selfishness and dark side, those are not something they can discuss, nor are they within the scope of their thinking.
However, Song Yunchu still thought too badly of him.
Song Yunchu was always worried that he would one day turn his back on him. Perhaps he had really had such an idea when dealing with the Song Yunchu of the past, but when dealing with the Song Yunchu of this moment, his affection was not false.
But this guy always took his kindness as a play of harmony between the monarch and his subjects...
Can't you think a little more positively?
It's a pity that I can know all of Song Yunchu's thoughts but cannot argue with him face to face.
"Yun Chu, your injuries have not healed yet, so I can't ask you to do too much. After you finish sorting through the memorials on your desk, you can go back and rest."
Song Yunchu responded: "Yes."
Fortunately, the dog emperor was not so cruel as to ask her to work overtime even when she was injured.
Song Yunchu quickly sorted out the memorials on the table and left the imperial study.
What she didn't expect was that not long after she returned to the Imperial Hospital and sat down, two pretty figures appeared outside the house.
Shangguan Yun walked in without any hesitation, bringing her personal maid.
"I heard that Lord Song was injured, so I came to see you and brought you our Beichen Kingdom's royal secret medicine, Juyuan Dan, which will help you recover faster."
