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 529: Sacrificing Beauty
Realizing what he had said, Chao Qing quickly explained: "What I meant is that Madam is the most important master in my heart, more important than the Crown Prince."
Yin Ye sneered: "Do you believe this yourself?"
How could someone who has been with the prince since childhood think that the wife is more important?
Chao Qing sighed and said solemnly, "I know you don't believe it, but when danger strikes, not only me, but everyone around the prince will go to save the lady first. This is the prince's order."
Yin Ye was stunned for a moment: "Is it because the prince's martial arts are so advanced that he doesn't need you to save him?"
She had actually felt it before. The prince had arranged a lot of people to protect the lady, and these people always put the lady first when encountering problems.
Chao Qing looked at her as if she were a fool, and said something inexplicably: "Even if the prince is highly skilled in martial arts, he is not to the point where he does not need protection. And if that were the case, why would the prince bring people with him?"
Yin Ye realized what he was talking about and said with a smile, "Madam and the Crown Prince are husband and wife. What's wrong with the Crown Prince protecting Madam?"
Chao Qing shook his head. "You don't understand. The prince values his wife more than himself."
Therefore, these people also regard their wives as very important.
Yin Ye actually understood. After Ji Yunshu married Zhao Shen, she had always been by his side.
Although the prince is deep-minded and doesn't like to talk much, he takes care of his wife meticulously.
Yin Ye initially thought that the prince was such a thoughtful person, but later she realized that it was not the case.
People will not care about people they don’t like or even don’t care about.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh: "I hope the prince can come back safely."
Chao Qing said firmly: "Yes."
The prince's first half of life was hard enough, and now that he has someone he wants to spend his life with, no matter what happens, he will try his best to survive.
In the next few days, everything was calm, but with the arrival of Cen Xi, the military supply problem was solved.
Ji Yunlan breathed a sigh of relief, not as busy as before.
That day, he returned home early.
Because of Zhao Shen's departure, he was afraid that Ji Yunshu would worry alone, so he came to see her whenever he had time.
He arrived early, carrying a food box, intending to have dinner with Ji Yunshu.
As soon as I entered the door, I ran into Liu Yan who came to talk to Ji Yunshu.
Liu Yan stood up and bowed to Ji Yunlan: "Greetings, Prince."
Ji Yunlan had been in the army for a long time, so people usually addressed him by his military position. Occasionally, some people would jokingly call him "Little General," but almost no one called him "Prince."
He touched his nose and said, "You're welcome. I'm sorry for being rude. I didn't expect you to have guests here."
Liu Yan smiled and said, "I was just about to leave."
Then he said goodbye to Ji Yunshu and left.
Ji Yunlan then sat down opposite Ji Yunshu and asked, "Why does this girl keep coming to see you lately?"
He has been here several times in recent days and has run into her almost every time.
It’s not that he likes to be sentimental, but he has seen too many things like this since he was a child, so he has to think more about it.
Of course, he didn't know what Ji Yunshu's attitude towards this girl was, so he didn't express his doubts.
I just asked this question as if it were a casual conversation.
Ji Yunshu originally thought that Liu Yan came to see her every day to test Zhao Shen, and did not think about Ji Yunlan.
But when he said that, she immediately realized that Liu Yan had chosen to come in the afternoon, while Ji Yunlan almost always came in the evening.
And Liu Yan seems to dress up carefully every time she comes.
I really underestimated her.
Ji Yunshu laughed: "Well, she said she was scared to be alone and worried that the people from Mobei would attack."
Ji Yunlan also knew some of Liu Yan's background. Hearing her teasing tone, he laughed and said, "You are getting bolder and bolder with such an uncertain factor around you."
Ji Yunshu said indifferently: "It was my brother who gave me the courage. I'm in my own home, with so many people protecting me. Why should I be afraid of her?"
When Ji Yunlan heard her say that she was in his own home, the corners of his mouth curled up. He never felt that his sister was no longer a member of his family after getting married.
"That being said, you still have to be careful when you need to be careful. This woman has too many thoughts and it's hard to guard against her."
Ji Yunshu nodded: "Well, I kept her just to see what else she wants to do."
As she spoke, her eyes suddenly looked over Ji Yunlan, and Ji Yunlan immediately had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, the next moment she said, "How about I sacrifice your beauty and take advantage of your trick?"
Ji Yunlan's face darkened: "Is it my beauty that she's attracted to?"
He is a self-aware man, and he knows very well why most women throw themselves at him.
Ji Yunshu looked at him and tilted her head and smiled, "Who cares what she likes? Isn't it enough for you to have it? Are you really not going to give it a try? I think she still has a lot of secrets."
Now looking back, he realized that his original idea was too simple.
When she first agreed to let Liu Yan go, she was considering that although she was not innocent, she was a weak woman after all, and some things were beyond her control.
And Liu Yan had no other choice at the time.
But over the past few days, she gradually realized that they had not caught the person who was really in charge of Prince Yong's Mansion in Mobei.
So Liu Yan might be the big fish.
Ji Yunlan thought about General Qi's fate, shrank back and said, "No, you should think of other ways. Besides, she should know that you are suspicious of her. If I take the bait at this time, it will be too obvious."
Ji Yunshu was just talking casually, and she didn't want to involve Ji Yunlan.
Liu Yan currently lives in the general's mansion, and everything is still under control.
Ji Yunshu laughed and said, "What does it matter? Between men and women, isn't it all about who can outplay whom?"
Ji Yunlan: “…”
He was still a bachelor and didn't have much experience in getting along with men and women, but there were a lot of men in the army, and when they had nothing to do, the thing they talked about the most was women.
He couldn't help but raised his hand and knocked her on the forehead: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Ji Yunshu rubbed his forehead and glared: "How can this be nonsense? If you can capture her, you may be able to make her betray her master."
Ji Yunlan said angrily: "You might as well arrest her and interrogate her directly."
Ji Yunshu shook his head: "You don't know, it's rare to get anything out of Prince Yong's men through interrogation."
At least so far, she didn't learn anything important from those people.
Of course, she didn't really count on Ji Yunlan.
Liu Yan is not stupid. Since she has survived until now, she should be rational and sober enough and will not gamble her life on a man's feelings.
Ji Yunlan said, "I actually know a little about this. Most of the spies we've caught these days have committed suicide. I'm curious, why would they do those things if they don't even care about their own lives?"
Ji Yunshu had also wondered about this question, but to no avail.
"Maybe he's been brainwashed."
Once people have ideals and goals, it is difficult to be shaken.
Ordinary people just live their lives according to the routine and don’t seriously think about the purpose of life and death.
But what if someone gave them a goal?
