Chapter 122: The Prince is a bit scary

Yin Ye, who had returned with them, asked, "Sir, do you want to go and take a look?"

Only then did Zhao Shen take a step forward and chase after him.

After he was gone from sight, Bai Ling couldn't help but whisper to Yin Ye, "Did you think the prince was a little scary just now?"

Although Yin Ye looks carefree, he actually has a sharper intuition about danger than Bai Ling.

The moment Ji Yunshu ran away, she even felt the murderous aura from the prince.

She pondered for a moment and said, "Stay away from the prince from now on."

After a pause, he added, "Stay away from the Madam."

Bai Ling: "Then how can I serve my wife?"

Yin Ye smiled and said, "Did you see the bun on Madam's head? The prince might serve her better than us."

Of course Bai Ling saw it. The lady's hair was tied up by her before, but it was changed when she came back. It looked more delicate than the one she tied up.

She opened her mouth in disbelief, "You mean, the prince tied that bun? Why would the prince tie a woman's hair in a bun?"

Yin Ye shrugged and said, "How should I know? The prince passed the imperial examination and won the third place in the imperial examination when he was a teenager. Even his martial arts skills are unmatched. It seems that there is nothing in this world that he can't do."

Bai Ling: "...That seems to be the case."

As soon as Ji Yunshu entered the guest house, he saw a familiar figure.

She rushed over directly: "Brother."

Ji Yunlan intervened in time, blocking her a few steps away. He looked her up and down before frowning and asking, "How did you get yourself into this state?"

Ji Yunshu touched his face and said awkwardly, "Isn't it pretty?"

Don’t all men like this kind of seductive and charming type?

Why did it become a ghost when it came into her brother's mouth?

Zhao Shen didn't say anything. His brother must have stayed in the military camp all year round, surrounded by rough guys, so his aesthetic taste must be problematic.

Ji Yunlan didn't know she was complaining about him in her heart, and couldn't help but say, "What's so beautiful about it? Have you ever seen a decent woman look like this?"

Ji Yunshu didn't like what she heard: "Appearance is given by your parents, not by you."

Ji Yunlan said unhappily, "I'm asking why you made yourself like this?"

Ji Yunshu blinked: "Isn't this for the convenience of going out?"

Speaking of this, Ji Yunlan's expression became even uglier: "As the wife of a prince from a marquisate, why don't you stay in the capital and run to a place like this?"

"Well...it's a bit of a long story."

Ji Yunshu felt that he really shouldn't have gotten carried away for a moment and ran here to get scolded as soon as he came back.

At least pulling Zhao Shen along can disperse some of the firepower.

She was thinking about Zhao Shen when Zhao Shen appeared.

He said to Ji Yunlan apologetically: "Yunshu came to see me. It's my fault for getting her into trouble."

Ji Yunlan squinted his eyes and looked at him for a long while. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with his legs, he snorted coldly, "Of course it's your fault. You're disabled for no reason and you're showing off in a place like this."

The letter that Ji Yunshu sent by carrier pigeon only said that the people from Mobei were going to raid Suzhou last night and she was in Xingqing.

When his father received the letter, he didn't even have time to verify it and hurriedly asked him to bring troops to help.

Fortunately, he arrived in time and joined forces with the border defense troops to block the attack of the Mobei people.

He hurried to Xingqing. Although Ji Yunshu was not there, he left Bai Ling here.

Bai Ling then explained the whole story of why Ji Yunshu came to Suzhou.

Whenever Ji Yunlan thought about their beloved sister of the Ji family running to such a dangerous place for this man, he couldn't help but feel scared.

If Zhao Shen was an outsider and knew what he had done over the years, Ji Yunlan would also admire him.

But since he married his sister, he would rather he was really a cripple.

Ji Yunshu couldn't help but say, "Brother, you're being unfair to him. If he hadn't come, it's hard to say whether Suzhou would still belong to Daxia."

Ji Yunlan glared at her and said, "You've become successful after getting married, right? You know how to bend your elbows."

"He is my husband, how can he be an outsider?"

Ji Yunlan was so angry that he laughed: "You are husband and wife, so I am an outsider, right?"

Ji Yunshu said with a smile: "Brother, I'm fine, right? Don't be angry. It will hurt me if you get angry."

Seeing that she was fine, Ji Yunlan was indeed not so angry anymore. He couldn't help but raise his hand and knock her on the forehead: "You are already married and still so troublesome."

Ji Yunshu covered his forehead and said, "I'm so stupid because of you."

Ji Yunlan looked at her acting funny and finally couldn't help laughing.

"Finally, you're smiling. Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, and it's a good thing to be reunited with my brother. The kitchen has prepared a feast, let's go eat first."

Ji Yunlan knew that she must have been running around all day, and felt a little distressed, so he nodded in agreement.

Ji Yunshu knew that this hurdle had been passed, so he took him to the living room.

As soon as it gets dark, the temperature drops. It is windy today and very cold.

There was a charcoal brazier burning in the living room, and it felt warm as soon as I entered.

The three of them sat down. Ji Yunlan couldn't get used to seeing Ji Yunshu's face, but he knew her considerations and didn't say anything in the end.

After watching for a while, he became interested: "Your disguise skills are quite good, I can't even see any flaws."

If Bai Ling hadn't told him that Ji Yunshu was in disguise, and she hadn't run up to him and called him brother, he probably wouldn't have recognized her even if they met face to face.

Zhao Shen poured Ji Yunlan a glass of wine. "It's just a trifle. If you find it useful, I can teach you later. This time, it's my fault. I offer you a toast, and I hope you'll forgive me."

His tone was humble, so Ji Yunlan didn't want to embarrass him any further. He took the wine and drank it in one gulp before saying, "You've worked hard over the years. It's thanks to you that you came. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous."

He shuddered at the thought that if he had arrived a little later, the people of Mobei would have been able to break through the gates of Suzhou and march straight in.

How could they really blame Zhao Shen and Ji Yunshu who turned the tide?

Upon hearing this, Ji Yunshu couldn't help but ask him, "Don't we have spies in Mobei? How could we not know anything about such a big thing?"

Speaking of this, Ji Yunlan's expression was not very good. "Mobei is currently in internal instability, and this surprise attack was not the intention of the royal court, so we didn't receive any news. However, they have not succeeded now, so they should not act rashly in the short term."

Ji Yunshu, however, disagreed. "The collusion between the upper and lower levels of Suzhou Prefecture has led to today's disaster. Brother, do you think those people won't make moves elsewhere?"

Ji Yunlan stared into her eyes for a long while before saying, "I heard that you've done a lot of things in the capital in the past six months. What do you think?"

Ji Yunshu spread his hands: "Why should I think it's useful? Can't my brother see it? With all the internal and external troubles, my cousin is really miserable as an emperor."

Ji Yunlan was so frightened by her words that he choked on his wine and coughed a few times, "Why are you becoming more and more outspoken? Can you say whatever you want to the emperor?"

Ji Yunshu was dissatisfied: "There's no one else here, so just tell me if I'm right, right?"

Ji Yunlan clenched his fist and coughed, "That's right, but you don't have to be so blunt. Doesn't the emperor have any dignity?"
