Chapter 62 The scumbag is injured and the princess is in trouble
In the original novel, the martial arts secret book appeared when Jiang Rumin was disfigured.
The reason why Jiang Rumin was disfigured was that she was poisoned by Shangguan Jun with a poisonous flower. At that time, Jun Tianyi and Jiang Rumin were in a good relationship. Shangguan Jun was obsessed with Jun Tianyi but was always ridiculed by him. So she was jealous and bought poisonous flowers from a Western Region merchant, which caused large black spots on Jiang Rumin's face and made her feel inferior and depressed all day long.
Afterwards, Jiang Rumin found a way to eliminate the poison spots in a medical book and took her maid to the mountain to collect herbs. Jiang Yuxi sent people to chase and kill her. When Jiang Rumin was forced to the edge of the cliff, Jun Tianyi arrived in time and hugged her as they both rolled down the cliff. There was a river under the cliff, and the two were washed into a cave. Jun Tianyi thus discovered the secret book left by the master.
This is indeed a very common kind of protagonist halo.
But now the plot has many differences from the original. For example, Shangguan Yun is very disgusted with Jun Tianyi. At present, it seems that she has no signs of turning evil. The disfigurement plot is unlikely to happen. A series of butterfly effects may cause the secret book to not appear at the original time.
It is even possible that he will never appear again, which would be a great thing for her.
But this was just her speculation. The dog author was too good to Jun Tianyi, and she had to worry that Jun Tianyi would still get his opportunities. No matter what, it was always a good idea to have someone keep an eye on him from afar.
…
In the afternoon, Song Yunchu was drinking tonic soup in the house when Bai Zhu brought her some unexpected news.
"Sir, Prince Yi was attacked on the way and lost some men. Although the assassins were dealt with, Prince Yi was also injured. He was cut twice on his arm. General Zhao, who was traveling with him, ordered his men to send him back to the imperial city first."
"What?" Song Yunchu raised his eyebrows slightly. "He was assassinated not even half a day after leaving the city. I don't know who did it. How many assassins were there?"
"At least twenty people, all of them are very skilled. Could they be from Beichen Country?"
"It's hard to say." Song Yunchu thought for a moment and said, "Prince Qi looks steady, he shouldn't be in such a hurry to take action. It takes nearly two days to get to Xiuyang County from here. Wait until he gets there and is tired from the journey before taking action. Or wait until he has wiped out the pirates and is most tired before taking action. Wouldn't it be better to take action then? The success rate will be higher."
She believed that Shangguan Qi was not such an impatient person.
Bai Zhu nodded, "That's right. Prince Yi still has plenty of energy right now, and he's traveling with General Zhao. It's really not worth it to attack him halfway."
As the two were talking, Song Yunchu caught a glimpse of two figures appearing outside the door. Turning around, he saw that they were Shangguan Yun and his servant, who were disguised as eunuchs.
"Princess, are you addicted to playing the eunuch?"
Song Yunchu was a little amused. "Don't think that you can wander around the palace with this outfit. People from a distance may not notice it, but if they get closer to you, you will be exposed."
"I know, I only dressed like this because I really had no other choice!"
Shangguan Yun walked up to Song Yunchu and whispered, "I came to visit you yesterday. If I came again today, I don't know what people outside would say, so I didn't dare to wear my own clothes. There is something urgent right now, you must think of a solution for me!"
When Song Yunchu saw her sad face, he couldn't help wondering, "What's the matter?"
"That's right... I sent the secret guards stationed outside the palace to assassinate Prince Yi. I didn't expect him to be so powerful and only suffered injuries. It was a pity for my secret guards. More than a dozen of them were killed, and five escaped. They said that Prince Yi captured two people alive and they will be sent to the Ministry of Justice for torture. What should I do? Will they betray me?"
Shangguan Yun's words made Song Yunchu's forehead twitch violently.
"So it was you who did it? Have you discussed this matter with your brother?"
"I told him about Prince Yi's plot against us, and he was very angry. I asked him to vent my anger, but he said he would take the long view. This morning I heard that Prince Yi had left the city. It would be easier to attack outside the city than inside the imperial city, right? I wanted to discuss it with my brother, but he had left the palace, and I didn't know where he was going, and I couldn't find him..."
"So you just acted on your own?" Song Yunchu's face sank for a rare moment. "Do you really think you are smarter than your brother, or do you think Jun Tianyi is a good-for-nothing who can be easily dealt with? Do you think his palace guards are vegetarians?"
"Not to mention that he has his own men, he was traveling with General Zhao. Regardless of whether they have a friendly relationship, would General Zhao just watch him die without helping? You only cared about venting your anger and completely ignored the lives of your men. Now that you know you are in a hurry, why didn't you consider the consequences when you did these things?"
"Isn't it just to vent my anger for both you and me?"
After being scolded by Song Yunchu, Shangguan Yun felt annoyed and wronged, with tears in her eyes, "I'm not just venting my anger for myself. He also has a grudge against you. If he were alive, he would deal with you in the future. I just want to remove a thorn in your side."
"Princess, your idea is good, but unfortunately you don't have the ability to accomplish it."
Song Yunchu said coldly, "Your brother is waiting for the right time, but you are in a hurry to take action. Now two of your people have been captured alive. Do you know that once they confess, it will not be a personal grudge between you and Prince Yi. The princess of Beichen assassinated the prince of Tianqi. How will outsiders comment on this? Can the friendship between the two countries still be unbreakable? Have you considered this?"
"I didn't expect them to be captured alive." Shangguan Yun squatted down dejectedly. "Our secret guards have a rule that if they fail in their mission, they can only commit suicide and cannot be captured. If they die, their families will receive generous compensation, but these two people... they have no family."
"When it comes to life and death, people are always cowardly. Instead of blaming them for being afraid of death, blame yourself for being naive."
Shangguan Yun lowered her head in regret.
"Go back first and pretend nothing happened." Song Yunchu said, "Wait for your brother to come back and tell him everything."
Once Shangguan Yun's mistake is exposed, Shangguan Qi will definitely be implicated.
She wanted to deal with that bastard Jun Tianyi, so she needed an ally. Shangguan Qi was the ally she had considered from the beginning. If she could solve this problem, Shangguan Qi would owe her a big favor.
"Are you going to help me?" Shangguan Yun's tense heart relaxed a little, but she was still a little worried. "Do you have any connections in the Ministry of Justice?"
"This is not something you should worry about, Princess. You should go back first."
After Shangguan Yun left, Bai Zhu spoke up, "Sir, we don't have any connections in the Ministry of Justice. The Minister of Justice is a piece of shit with a weird temper. He won't easily take sides."
"No matter how strange my temper is, as long as I have the permission of His Majesty, why should I be afraid of not being able to enter the prison of the Ministry of Justice? Let's go to the Imperial Study."
