Chapter 55 You are trapped in love because you have too much free time
"I'm afraid Miss Jiang is unwilling to help us?"
Zhang Shucai shook his head. "Even if Miss Jiang still has feelings for the prince, Prime Minister Song saved her from the assassins after all. She will remember this life-saving grace. We must not let Miss Jiang know that we are going to deal with Prime Minister Song."
Jun Tianyi thought for a moment and said, "We really can't let Rumin know. I don't intend to let her get involved in these grievances. But... we don't necessarily have to let her know about this. As long as we can keep it secret from her, we can still succeed."
The follower's words just now reminded him.
Jiang Rumin was the one who changed the medicine and boiled the medicine for Song Yunchu. It can be seen that after spending these days together, Song Yunchu no longer regarded Jiang Rumin as an outsider.
It is extremely difficult for a suspicious person like Song Yunchu to trust someone.
Thinking of this, Jun Tianyi couldn't help but feel angry.
Even if there was a rift between him and Jiang Rumin, he would never allow Song Yunchu to take her away!
…
The afternoon breeze is so light that it cannot even blow away the clouds in the sky.
The kitchen of the Imperial Hospital was filled with the aroma of medicine.
Jiang Rumin sat on a small stool and looked at the medicine pot on the stove. He calculated that the time was about right, then he stood up and poured out the medicine.
"Minmin."
Suddenly, a long-lost voice came from behind, causing Jiang Rumin's body to stiffen slightly.
Did she hear it wrong?
The next moment, she heard footsteps getting closer behind her. She turned around and saw Jun Tianyi and his entourage.
"I heard that you were attacked last night. I guess you were quite frightened, right?"
As Jun Tianyi spoke, he slowly approached Jiang Rumin.
His concern for Jiang Rumin was genuine. As far as he could remember, he hadn't spoken to her at close range for quite some time. Today, he looked at her carefully and found that she seemed to be thinner than before.
"Why are you so thin now?"
Hearing Jun Tianyi's concerned words, Jiang Rumin came back to her senses and responded calmly, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. If you have nothing else to do, don't stay here. It won't be good if someone sees us meeting in private."
If it were in the past, she would be happy from the bottom of her heart if Jun Tianyi cared about her like this, but now she felt that his sudden appearance was a little inappropriate.
Even if there was no love between her and Lord Song, they were bound by a marriage contract after all, and Lord Song was injured because of saving her. If someone saw her talking to Prince Yi at such a close distance, it would not only damage her reputation, but also make Lord Song lose face.
"When I came here, there was no one outside. Don't worry. Even if someone saw us passing by, we can just spend some money to shut him up. We haven't seen each other for so many days. Don't you want to talk to me?"
Jun Tianyi stared at Jiang Rumin's face, as if he wanted to see through all her emotions. "You weren't so cold to me before. Could it be that you have Song Yunchu in your heart?"
"No." Jiang Rumin quickly retorted, "There has always been nothing between me and Lord Song, but he saved me, so I have to take care of him."
Jun Tianyi felt relieved after hearing this.
"It's OK as long as you don't have him in your heart." Jun Tianyi paused and said, "I have thought it through. I will ask His Majesty to cancel your engagement. I don't want to see you marry someone else."
Jiang Rumin didn't expect him to say such a thing and was stunned for a moment.
Jun Tianyi took a step forward and hugged her in his arms, "Minmin, let's stop making trouble, okay? I've been absent-minded since I haven't seen you these days."
While Jiang Rumin's eyes were temporarily away from the stove, the follower beside Jun Tianyi quietly raised his right hand and flicked a small pill into the bowl of medicine she had just poured out.
"No...it's not just Mr. Song who stands between you and me."
Jiang Rumin broke free from Jun Tianyi's embrace and took two steps back to create some distance between them. "It's good that Lord Song and I can cancel our engagement, but what are you going to do about my second sister?"
"If you really care about me, you shouldn't let me share a husband with someone who has bullied me since I was a child. I can't accept this."
Jun Tianyi frowned slightly at Jiang Rumin's words, "Did Yuxi really bully you? Maybe the Duke's wife is very strict with you, but Yuxi has never thought of being your enemy."
"If you don't even believe what I say, then there's nothing to talk about between you and me."
Jiang Rumin was furious when she recalled the two assassination attempts.
Although she had no clear evidence to prove that it was Jiang Yuxi who did it, she knew very well in her heart that apart from Jiang Yuxi, she had never had any conflicts with anyone else.
She couldn't imagine that there was someone who hated her so much and wanted to kill her.
Putting aside the matter of the assassin, Jiang Yuxi had treated her badly in the past. The memories of her being bullied by Jiang Yuxi and her daughter were deeply engraved in her mind and could not be easily erased.
Jun Tianyi never believed her, and she was angry but helpless.
"Your Highness, you have stayed here long enough. To avoid being discovered, you should leave as soon as possible. I should go and bring the medicine to Lord Song."
After Jiang Rumin finished speaking, she picked up the medicine on the stove and quickly left the kitchen.
Jun Tianyi was left staring at her back with an unhappy look on his face.
Rumin now seems to be more sharp than before.
In the past, her heart and eyes were filled with him, but now she has learned to leave him behind.
It is true that - birds of a feather flock together.
Until the attendant beside him reminded him: "Prince, let's go quickly."
Jun Tianyi withdrew his gaze and left the kitchen with his entourage.
He didn't want to use Jiang Rumin, but now he can only use her to deal with Song Yunchu.
As long as Song Yunchu committed a serious crime, not only would he lose his official title, but even his life would be in danger. At that time, the marriage contract granted by the emperor to Song Yunchu and Rumin would naturally be invalid.
…
"Lord Song said before that the medicine was too bitter and uncomfortable to drink, so I prepared some candied fruit for you. You can eat it after you finish the medicine, and it won't be so bitter in your mouth."
In the elegant house, Jiang Rumin took out a paper bag from his sleeve pocket, "This is the candied fruit Yingchun made by herself, you can eat it without worry."
When Song Yunchu saw the steam coming out of the medicine, he thought of waiting for a while until it was no longer so hot before drinking it.
Seeing a trace of worry between Jiang Rumin's brows, she asked casually, "Looking at Miss Jiang's expression, does it seem like she is worried?"
Jiang Rumin looked up at Song Yunchu, opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, nothing came out.
"Miss Jiang, please feel free to speak up. I rarely have free time, and maybe I can solve your problem."
Jiang Rumin recalled the conversation with Jun Tianyi in the kitchen, smiled bitterly and shook her head, "I'm afraid you can't solve this problem."
Song Yunchu said nonchalantly: "It seems to be related to His Royal Highness Prince Yi again."
Seeing a hint of surprise on Jiang Rumin's face, Song Yunchu said expressionlessly: "Isn't this hard to guess? Isn't he the source of all your troubles?"
Jiang Rumin: “…”
"You have never been bothered by anything except your love life. To put it bluntly, you are too idle. If you really have nothing to do, why not open a clinic? It will not only help you kill time, but also help you treat more people with difficult and complicated diseases."
