Chapter 67 You and Song Yunchu will never be together
"What? The Dali Temple Minister confessed his guilt and committed suicide?"
In the Huayang Palace where the Beichen Kingdom delegation was temporarily staying, Shangguan Yun was delighted when she heard the news brought back by the guards, "I knew that Lord Song is reliable!"
The big stone that had been hanging in my heart finally fell.
Her legs were numb from kneeling. She wanted to stand up, but Shangguan Qi beside her scolded her, "Don't stand up! Keep kneeling."
Shangguan Yun slumped her shoulders, "Brother, Lord Song has already scolded me, I really know I was wrong, and you have also punished me to kneel for an hour, can you let me stand up and talk?"
"It's too easy for you to kneel down." Shangguan Qi was merciless and said in a cold tone, "Because I felt sorry for you marrying far away, I always indulged you in your mischief. I really regret it. If I knew you could cause such a big disaster, I should have punished you with house arrest long ago!"
"You were wronged by Prince Yi, and I promised you that I would seek justice for you, but you were so impatient to send someone to assassinate him, and even had the nerve to ask Prime Minister Song to help you clean up the mess afterwards! If he hadn't found a scapegoat for you this time, do you know how serious the consequences would be?"
Shangguan Yun rarely saw Shangguan Qi being so stern, so she lowered her head and dared not reply.
"Ah'un, by now, you should understand your own limitations. You do things without considering the consequences. His Majesty is right not to keep you in the harem. You should go to Prince Gong's Mansion. Prince Gong is approachable and is the most suitable person for you. No matter how much you like Song Yunchu, it is impossible for you to be with him. His life is too complicated. You cannot participate in it, and you cannot enter his heart."
Shangguan Yun bit her lip, and her eyes gradually became moist.
Yes, she and Song Yunchu... will never be possible.
…
After the morning court session ended, Song Yunchu returned to the Imperial Hospital first.
She takes medicine twice a day, morning and evening. The morning medicine is taken after the Chenshi hour. At this time, Jiang Rumin should have just finished decocting the medicine.
Ever since she said she didn't trust the people in the Imperial Hospital, Jiang Rumin watched over the preparation of each dose of medicine personally. After the incident with Jun Tianyi giving her the medicine, Jiang Rumin seemed to be even more cautious and would not allow anyone within a few feet of her when she was decocting the medicine.
The girl's vigilance has increased a lot.
"Sir, His Royal Highness Prince Qi is here to visit you."
Bai Zhu's voice was heard outside the room. Song Yunchu looked up and saw Shangguan Qi. He stood up and said, "Your Majesty, please come in and sit down. Bai Zhu, serve the tea quickly."
Shangguan Qi came to the table and sat down, saying in a gentle voice: "Aju was at fault for the assassination. As a brother, I failed to take good care of her, which was also my fault. I thought this matter would be difficult to settle, but I didn't expect that Lord Song would solve it so quickly. Counting the time you saved Aju, my brother and I owe you two favors."
The moment Song Yun first saw Shangguan Qi, he guessed that he was there to express his gratitude.
After all, when Shangguan Yun came to her for help, she agreed to help. Now that the matter has been resolved, the brother and sister certainly would not guess that it was the emperor who arranged everything. They would only think that she was so well-connected that she could even interfere in the affairs of the Ministry of Justice.
The emperor was unwilling to expose his cunning mind to outsiders, and he liked to play the role of a righteous person.
In this matter, she and the emperor are on the same side. They both want to maintain the dignity of Beichen Kingdom and ensure that the alliance between the two countries will not go wrong. Therefore, she is the only one who can accept the favor of Jun Liluo for helping them.
If this was done by someone else, it would be difficult for her to take credit for it.
"Your Highness, you don't have to be polite." Song Yunchu said leisurely, "The Dali Temple Minister and I have a bad impression of each other. I have long wanted to deal with him. Since your country and my dynasty are allies, I certainly don't want anything to happen between the two countries that is not conducive to the alliance. Helping the princess suppress this mistake is not only to help you, but also to avoid worrying His Majesty."
Shangguan Qi nodded, "Sir Song is so helpful to the king, he is truly a man of great achievements. I don't like to owe favors to others, if Sir Song needs any help from me, please feel free to ask."
Song Yunchu smiled calmly, "I haven't thought of it yet. When I do, I will definitely ask the prince for it."
She now holds a high official title, a high salary, and many subordinates. As long as she does not fall out with the dog emperor, she can stay in the Tianqi Kingdom.
Shangguan Qi's favor is a way out and cannot be used lightly.
Just as the two were talking, footsteps were heard outside the house, bringing with them the aroma of medicine. Song Yunchu turned around and saw Jiang Rumin coming in with the medicine.
Jiang Rumin saw Shangguan Qi was also there and bowed, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Miss Jiang, there is no need to be so polite. Lord Song, I have made my point. I will not disturb your rest. Goodbye."
"Go slowly, my lord."
Song Yunchu looked at Jiang Rumin and Shangguan Qi who was leaving, and felt sad: It seems that the female lead and the second male lead are not familiar with each other at all at the moment, and I don’t know when there will be sparks.
Ever since Jun Tianyi drugged her, she never heard Jiang Rumin mention Prince Yi again.
This is a good thing.
"Miss Jiang, my injury should not be serious. After drinking this medicine, you don't need to boil it anymore, and you don't need to stay in the Imperial Hospital. It's really boring here. It's time for you to go home. When you have free time, remember to consider my suggestion to you and open a clinic. Your life will definitely be much more fulfilling."
"I have already planned to implement Lord Song's proposal." Jiang Rumin put down the medicine and reminded him, "Remember to apply the black jade ointment I left for you every morning and evening."
"I know that. By the way, Miss Jiang, I have something to give you."
As Song Yunchu spoke, he took out a ring from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Jiang Rumin.
"You don't have any martial arts skills, so it's not safe to carry a knife with you. I asked someone to make you a hidden weapon. This ring has a silver needle inside. When you wear it on your hand, it won't be easily seen by others. If you are in danger, you only need to push the hidden buckle on the ring to eject the silver needle."
"You look weak and vulnerable, and outsiders often won't be on guard against you, so - if you attack them when they're not prepared, it's still very likely that you'll succeed."
Song Yunchu said, and demonstrated it to Jiang Rumin again, "You are good at making medicine. The tip of this silver needle can be smeared with drugs or poisons. Keep this thing well. I hope you never need to use it."
Jiang Rumin looked at the ring handed to her, stunned for a moment, then raised her eyes and looked into Song Yunchu's eyes.
These eyes are as bright as stars and clear.
Everyone said he was a traitor, but when I think carefully about what happened after I met him, he was clearly different from what outsiders said.
The words cold-blooded, vicious, killing innocent people, and framing loyal and good people seem to have nothing to do with him.
He was just a little frivolous sometimes.
She always brings him trouble, and he still has to worry about her safety before they part...
Jiang Rumin's mind moved slightly, and she slowly reached out to take the ring.
