Chapter 403: With you around, I always feel at ease

Zhao Shen felt a little aggrieved, but he couldn't accuse her of being unromantic.

His eyes dimmed, and after a pause he said, "I heard Xiao Yue came to see you. When did you meet?"

Ji Yunshu suddenly realized, "You're worried about my safety. Don't worry, I'm prepared. I have a lot of defensive weapons, and I have people around me to protect me. They won't dare to make too much noise, and they probably won't dare to force me. As long as you are careful and cautious, you'll be fine."

If you know there will be danger but still can't prevent it, then that's your fate.

Ji Yunshu felt that the current situation was still favorable for them, and he would not be so unlucky.

Zhao Shen remained silent.

The room was quiet, and the scent of hair oil lingered in the air.

It was specially prepared by Ji Yunshu. It has a light osmanthus scent. It is not too strong, but the aftertaste is long.

Zhao Shen slowly straightened her long hair, his hands moving gently but he never spoke.

Of course, he himself was not a talkative person, but Ji Yunshu still felt that something was wrong with him.

In fact, it was very strange that he would sneak into the dormitory to see her.

When Zhao Shen finally stopped moving, Ji Yunshu was almost asleep.

Seeing that he still didn't speak, Ji Yunshu asked helplessly: "What's wrong with you?"

Zhao Shen looked at her with deep eyes: "I swore that I would never let you be in danger again."

She encountered danger several times during her trip to southern Xinjiang, which left a deep impression on him.

He had thought about letting her stay at home after returning and not go out to do anything dangerous.

But it has only been a short time, and even though he knew there would be danger, he still let her face it alone.

Ji Yunshu stroked his face and smiled, "Don't be so bitter and resentful. Haven't you made all the arrangements? There won't be any danger."

Zhao Shen cared about her, and she didn't want to say that he was fussy, but there were many things she had to do.

Zhao Shen's guilt always puts her in danger. In fact, without his help, she would be in greater danger.

"You should believe that we have made all the necessary preparations. Nothing will happen."

Facing Zhao Shen's worried eyes, Ji Yunshu stroked his eyebrows with her fingertips, "I've never told you this before, but I'm actually very grateful that you didn't lock me up in the backyard and exclude me from these things. With you around, I've always felt at ease."

If it weren't for Zhao Shen, she really didn't know how far she could go.

Although she will definitely work hard, it will definitely not be as smooth as it is now.

The emperor would not trust her so easily, and for a married woman, it was not easy to leave the inner house.

Zhao Shen didn't want his worries to affect her. He just thought about the recent events. There were obviously other ways to solve them, but she had to be involved. He felt a little uncomfortable.

"How about using a stand-in? Those people won't be able to recognize you anyway."

Not many people could see through his disguise, and he felt that there was no need for Ji Yunshu to take the risk himself.

Ji Yunshu didn't know why he was so nervous this time. He looked up at him and smiled, "Prince Zhao, we've waited so long for such a small matter. We can't fail at the last minute."

Zhao Shen was about to say something when Ji Yunshu suddenly put her arms around his neck, pulled him down a little, and kissed him.

Zhao Shen frowned.

Ji Yunshu said dissatisfiedly: "Don't tell me that you came here secretly just to tell me these nonsense."

Zhao Shen: “…”

In his heart, her safety is very important, not trivial.

But seeing that Ji Yunshu didn't want to listen to him at all, he had to shut up.

Ji Yunshu was finally satisfied and kissed his face again: "Don't you miss me?"

Zhao Shen was almost laughed out of anger by her. Who was he doing this secretly under the Queen Mother's nose for?

Since she was already here, and she insisted on going in person, he should just take precautions.

He leaned over and kissed her lips, and as their lips and teeth intertwined, he whispered, "Do you think I miss you?"

Ji Yunshu's voice was drowned out by his rapid breathing.

Zhao Shen was particularly fierce tonight, and by the time everything was over, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

Ji Yunshu collapsed in the quilt, not wanting to move at all. She heard Zhao Shen say something in a daze, but she couldn't open her eyes, so she didn't care.

She opened her eyes at noon the next day. When Lu Ru and Lan Yin were helping her wash up, they saw the marks on her body and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Although they knew that the two masters were just putting on an act, they were always worried that they would really have a quarrel.

The woman is still living with the prince in the other courtyard, which makes people feel uneasy.

It was already late, and Ji Yunshu had an appointment with Xiao Yue. I didn't want to be too late, so I had a quick meal and set off.

The place where Xiao Yue asked her to meet was the villa of the Prince of Lin'an nearby.

When she arrived, there were already quite a few people inside.

Among them was Xiao Ting.

Ji Yunshu had always thought that Xiao Ting would not show up in person, but then he thought, with so many people here today, showing up would not be a big deal.

If something goes wrong later, you will have an alibi.

She was right here, with so many people watching, so what happened to Ji Yunshu had nothing to do with her.

She raised an eyebrow and asked Xiao Yue: "Isn't your relationship not good? Why did you invite her?"

Xiao Yue curled her lips: "She insisted on coming, I can't kick her out, right?"

When Ji Yunshu heard her tone, he knew there was something wrong and said with a smile, "It's not like you haven't done things like chasing people away before."

Xiao Yue thought of what she had done before and felt a little embarrassed: "That was so long ago. My mother is now making me learn the rules. Don't say anything nonsense. It was Xiao Ting who came to apologize to me herself, saying that she was wrong about what happened before, but she just didn't want to go to the marriage and didn't mean to hurt me. I thought she was helping me, so I didn't want to make a fuss about it."

Ji Yunshu looked at her carefully.

Xiao Yue felt uncomfortable being stared at: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Ji Yunshu said, "Look at what level of saint you are. You even believe Xiao Ting's nonsense. She doesn't want to marry you, so she pushes you to go? If this isn't harming you, then what is?"

Xiao Yue also felt that she had been a little soft-hearted, and blushed as she said, "It's all in the past. She did it, and there's nothing I can do to her. We don't need to marry now. She will go to Yongzhou, and we probably won't see each other again in this life. There's no need to make enemies."

After saying that, seeing that Ji Yunshu didn't say anything, he didn't know what she was thinking, so he leaned closer and whispered, "Of course, I hate her and that won't change. I can make amends if I have the chance, but there's no need to show it openly. It would be bad if she became wary of me."

Ji Yunshu had a feeling that one should look at someone with new eyes after three days of absence: "I haven't seen you for a few days. You've improved a lot. Did Lan Ting teach you this?"

Xiao Yue opened her mouth: "How do you know?"

Couldn't she have come up with it herself?

She didn't think these things were difficult.

Ji Yunshu knocked her forehead: "Your brain can't think of these."

Xiao Yue was born into a royal family and had seen a lot of royal affairs. If she could learn without a teacher, she would have mastered it long ago.
