Ji Yunshu stayed up all night reading an old-fashioned, melodramatic, angsty novel. When she woke up, she found herself transmigrated into the book as the male lead's wicked original wife.
<...Chapter 297 Someone Can't Wait
Ji Yunshu was a little surprised: "What happened?"
Wang Lu said, "My grandfather was afraid you would be worried, so he asked someone to inquire about the prince. Someone said they saw him fighting with someone outside the village, and then he disappeared."
Ji Yunshu looked at her anxious expression and couldn't help wondering why the Wang family changed their minds?
He had clearly told her to continue waiting here last night, but now he suddenly came to tell her this news.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Wang Lu couldn't help but ask, "Madam, aren't you worried about the prince?"
Ji Yunshu just realized it: "Of course I'm worried. Who is fighting against the prince?"
Wang Lu said embarrassedly, "Those people are probably not ordinary people. How could the people in the village know them?"
Ji Yunshu nodded: "I understand. Sorry to bother you, young lady."
Wang Lu said, "It's just a message, nothing serious."
After that, she asked Ji Yunshu curiously, "Will Madam go to save the prince?"
Ji Yunshu nodded: "Of course, but we need to send someone to verify the whereabouts of the prince first."
Wang Lu said, "Don't worry, Madam. My grandfather knows a lot of people in the village and will help find out."
Ji Yunshu said gratefully, "Thank you very much."
After Wang Lu left, Bai Ling asked in confusion, "Why are you suddenly telling us this?"
They thought from the beginning that the prince might have fallen into someone's hands.
Ji Qian, who was hiding in the dark, said, "Before dawn this morning, someone delivered a letter to the Wang family."
Ji Yunshu understood: "It seems that someone can't wait any longer."
There is still a war going on outside. If we fight for one more day, there will be many casualties.
Of course, for those in power, what may be more distressing is the consumption of military supplies.
Southern Xinjiang is not a wealthy place and cannot withstand a long-term war, so they will definitely find a way to end the war quickly.
Yin Ye asked, "What should we do then?"
Ji Yunshu said, "Let's use their tricks against them. It's time for those who have been hiding to show up."
Although she was worried about Zhao Shen, she didn't think that Zhao Shen would be unable to handle it. After all, with his skills, no one could take him away if he didn't want to.
The most important thing is that with the experience of Suzhou last time, Zhao Shen will think carefully and will not put himself in danger again.
So Ji Yunshu didn't mind continuing to act with these people.
In the evening, Wang Shun came to look for Ji Yunshu in person.
"It's my fault. I revealed the prince's whereabouts. As soon as he left the village, he was taken away."
Ji Yunshu said, "The prince's trip has already attracted attention. How can I blame you? I just don't know who took the prince away."
Wang Shun said with a guilty look on his face, "I don't know who they are yet, but I've found out where they are."
Ji Yunshu quickly said, "Really? That's great. I'll go find someone right away."
Wang Shun tried to stop her, saying, "It's too dangerous. If something happens to you, my lady, how will I ever face the old Marquis again? Let me go. I can still be of use to my old age."
Ji Yunshu disagreed: "This is our business, how can we implicate you? You have a family now, you can't take risks. Don't worry, I brought people with me when I came, nothing will happen."
Wang Shun refused to agree no matter what, so Ji Yunshu finally agreed to let him lead the way and they went together.
They didn't start their action until after dark.
Ji Yunshu originally thought they wanted to take her to some ambush place, but unexpectedly it was a very hidden cave.
Wang Shun pointed inside and said, "This place is very close to where the prince disappeared. Some people said they saw people moving around here. The prince should be here."
Ji Yunshu peeked inside. It was pitch black and she couldn't see anything. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Since I already know this is the place, I'll just go in by myself. You don't have to go."
Wang Shun said in embarrassment: "How can this be possible? We don't know what's going on inside. If Madam is in danger again..."
Ji Yunshu said, "No, I don't think those people's intention is to kill me."
Killing is actually the easiest and most convenient way, but those people took so much trouble to lure her here, obviously not to take her life.
Ji Yunshu was also a little curious about what those people wanted to do.
Seeing her resolute attitude, Wang Shun had no choice but to say, "I'm old now. I won't be of much help if I go in. I might even be a burden to you. In that case, I won't go with you. You must be careful. If anything happens, remember to send a message."
Seeing that he was sincere in his words, Ji Yunshu nodded and agreed.
Wang Shun insisted on watching them enter the cave before he would leave. Ji Yunshu didn't say anything else and took Bai Ling Yin Ye into the cave.
The cave was bigger than she had imagined, as if it had hollowed out a mountain.
After walking inside for a long time, there was movement ahead.
Ji Yunshu took a look around and was just thinking about finding a place to hide when she heard someone in front of her say, "Madam, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Ji Yunshu: “…”
This voice was really familiar, it was actually Zhebie.
In a flash, Ji Yunshu suddenly understood some of the doubts he had since entering Southern Xinjiang.
But it seems too late.
She took a few steps and saw a stone door, so she pushed it open and walked in.
It is a huge stone chamber like a palace.
The inside was illuminated by the night pearls, making it as bright as day. The sudden light made Ji Yunshu feel a little uncomfortable.
She blocked her eyes before she could see clearly where she was.
The spacious and magnificent stone hall was decorated in an extremely luxurious manner, and a coffin was placed in the center of the stone chamber.
As she walked along, she felt strange, wondering who had the ability to dig a mountain into this shape.
"Could this be the imperial mausoleum of the Nanzhao royal family?"
Only the royal family can be so generous.
Zhebie looked at her with deep eyes: "Madam is indeed smart."
Ji Yunshu sighed: "I'm no match for the clan leader. If I were really smart, I wouldn't fall into your hands again and again."
She really didn't expect that the person waiting for her here would be the Yuxi tribe leader who was supposed to be lying in bed.
Zhebie smiled and said, "Madam, you are too modest. I don't think the Wang family's tricks are enough for you. You are willing to come here only for Prince Zhao."
Ji Yunshu asked, "Is the prince here?"
Zhebie said meaningfully, "Madam, why don't you ask me what I want to do first? I can't even protect myself, and you're still worried about a man? Who knows where the prince is enjoying himself right now?"
Ji Yunshu felt that his words were a sign of discord, so he smiled and said, "Then Chief, tell me what you want to do."
She was just asking casually, not expecting him to tell the truth, but she saw Zhebie pointing to the coffin behind him and said, "My wife is in there. In our southern border, there is a method to bring the dead back to life, which requires the prince's blood and your body."
"Are you kidding me?"
Ji Yunshu blurted out, but after he finished speaking, he realized that the other party was serious.
Zhebie looked at the coffin with a pious look and indescribable excitement.
He really felt that the people inside could be resurrected.
