Chapter 54: Song Xiang is shameless but handsome
As she spoke, she handed the box in her hand to Song Yunchu, "As long as you are not seriously injured, you only need to take one pill to quickly recover your energy. You will understand its benefits after you take it. This medicine cannot be bought outside, so don't give it to others easily."
"I appreciate the princess' kindness. My injury is not serious, so there is no need to waste such good medicine."
Ever since Song Yunchu knew Shangguan Yun's feelings, he made up his mind to stay away from this princess.
The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Even if Shangguan Yun came to care about her, she could only respond coldly.
"It's not appropriate for the princess to be here. You'd better go back quickly."
"Why, can't I come to the Imperial Hospital? I feel a little dizzy, so it's okay for me to come and ask the Imperial Physician to take a look at me? And by the way, I can visit my lifesaver. Besides, you and I are not the only ones in this room. Isn't my maid also here? Who dares to say anything more?"
Seeing that Song Yunchu refused to take her medicine, Shangguan Yun gritted her teeth and retracted her hand, "Did you get injured while saving Miss Jiang?"
"I did it to save my confidants."
Song Yunchu said calmly, "An assassin appeared near the Imperial Garden. Rumin happened to pass by and she caught a glimpse of the assassin and screamed subconsciously, which caused the assassin to want to kill her. Fortunately, my confidant Baizhu followed her and fought with the assassin. It's a good thing that the two of them accidentally led the assassin out. If the assassin hadn't been discovered in advance, there might have been a bigger mess."
"So it seems that Miss Jiang is not calm enough. If she pretends to be calm and quietly tells your confidants, you can just send people over to surround the area. In this way, the assassin will have nowhere to escape and will have to surrender. Sir Song, you won't have to show up."
Shangguan Yun's words made Song Yunchu feel a little amused and helpless.
Sure enough, this princess could always find fault with people she disliked.
She herself is such a reckless person, yet she still accuses Jiang Rumin of not being calm enough.
After a brief consideration, Song Yunchu decided not to go against Shangguan Yun, so as not to inadvertently bring hatred to Jiang Rumin.
"Rumin is indeed not calm enough, nor smart enough. If she were a little smarter and more cunning, she wouldn't be ostracized by the mistress and her second sister at home. She has lost her biological mother, and her father favors her sister more. She has already had too many disappointments in her life. If I don't tolerate her a little more, she will be too pitiful."
Shangguan Yun was stunned when she heard this.
The person sent to gather intelligence only said that Jiang Rumin had lost her mother and did not provide any more details. It was only at this moment that she realized that Jiang Rumin's status in the family was so low.
Such a useless person shouldn't do something like playing both sides, right?
It seems that the rumors cannot be fully trusted.
"Forget it, Lord Song, just pretend that I didn't say that. I won't disturb your rest, but you must accept this pill! Just think of it as a thank you gift for saving me."
After Shangguan Yun finished speaking, she put the medicine box on the table and turned away without waiting for Song Yunchu to speak again, for fear that Song Yunchu would return the medicine again.
Song Yunchu looked at the medicine box on the table and fell into deep thought.
In the original novel, when Shangguan Yun repeatedly harassed Jun Tianyi, Jun Tianyi often belittled her in front of outsiders, such as calling her a vicious woman, saying that she had bad character and could never be as good as Jiang Rumin, etc.
Shangguan Yun was such an arrogant person that in the face of repeated insults and accusations, she would not repent, but would only accumulate more resentment in her heart, and finally take it all out on her love rival.
Praising one and criticizing the other is Jun Tianyi's usual way of speaking.
She just tried another way. She didn't praise Jiang Rumin in front of Shangguan Yun, but only emphasized Jiang Rumin's pitifulness. Shangguan Yun obviously restrained herself.
Perhaps in Shangguan Yun's current thinking, she disdains to bully a weak woman.
That's fine.
…
As the sun sets, the bustling street becomes less crowded.
In the elegant room on the second floor of Zuixiangju, Dali Temple Minister Zhang Shucai and Jun Tianyi sat opposite each other around the dining table.
"This Chen She doesn't look like a reckless person. Why would he go and assassinate Miss Jiang? By doing this, he has ruined his future and even his life."
"She can't live a stable life if she's with Song Yunchu." Jun Tianyi said in a cold tone.
"Does Your Majesty really believe Chen She's reasons? Is he going to kill Prime Minister Song's fiancée just to vent his anger because he hates Prime Minister Song? I think there is something else going on, but Chen She is unwilling to confess."
"Whether this matter has anything to do with Song Yunchu or not, I will hold him responsible. The hatred between me and him has long been irreconcilable, not to mention this one."
While the two were talking, someone knocked on the door, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
"Come in and talk."
The attendant outside the private room pushed the door open and came to Jun Tianyi's side.
"Your Highness, not long after Prime Minister Song returned to the Imperial Hospital from the Imperial Study, the Princess of Beichen went to visit him. After the princess left, our people followed her for a while and heard her and her maid mention the Beichen royal family's secret medicine, the Juyuan Pill. The pill is extremely precious, and the princess actually gave a box to Prime Minister Song."
Jun Tianyi heard this, and a sarcastic smile appeared in his eyes, "It seems that this princess really likes Song Yunchu."
At the banquet yesterday, he heard Jiang Yuxi mention that the princess looked unhappy when she saw Prince Gong, and she couldn't take her eyes off Song Yunchu when she turned around. Fortunately, Prince Qi reminded her in time and the princess restrained herself.
What a foolish woman who is deceived by appearance.
Zhang Shucai took a sip of wine and said, "Although Prime Minister Song is despicable and shameless, he is indeed handsome and saved the princess' life. Although His Royal Highness Prince Gong is talented and has a good reputation, the princess is unhappy because he is older. This shows how much His Royal Highness the Princess judges people by appearance."
"It's just superficial knowledge, but it's worth using."
Jun Tianyi paused and said, "If we can use this princess to accuse Song Yunchu of defiling the imperial court and destroying the marriage between the two countries..."
"Then it will be difficult for him to recover!" Zhang Shucai took over the conversation. "If it really comes to that, no matter how much Your Majesty values him, you have to punish him. Otherwise, you won't be able to stop the gossips, and it will be difficult to give an explanation to Beichen Country."
"Although we have a solution, don't be too happy too soon. Song Yunchu is extremely cautious about what he takes and is also wary of outsiders. It's not easy to drug him."
Listening to Jun Tianyi's words, Zhang Shucai felt a little distressed for a moment.
"Your Majesty, this matter...may not be that difficult."
The attendant behind Jun Tianyi spoke up, "Ms. Jiang personally handled the replacement and decoction of the medicine for Prime Minister Song. Prime Minister Song seems to trust her now."
