Chapter 11: Have you seen it? Are you satisfied?
"You're not planning to use it to treat Zhao Shen's leg, are you?" Ji Yunlan asked unhappily, "You actually believe in rumors. Several Mobei kings have died. If there really is something like this, wouldn't they know how to eat it?"
Ji Yunshu certainly knew that the rumors were unreliable, and according to her, this thing had been there for who knows how long, and even if it existed, it would have expired long ago.
But there are some things in novels that don't make sense. Later, when Yao Ruolan was poisoned and about to die, Zhao Heng went crazy and almost slaughtered the Mobei royal court. The Mobei king had no choice but to take out the Biling Pill to save his life, and Yao Ruolan was really rescued.
She thought about it and decided that since she had to fight the male and female protagonists, it would be best if she could get a life-saving item like the Biling Pill.
Regardless of whether it will be useful to my father and brother, it might come in handy if the emperor's cousin is poisoned later.
At the very least, it can prevent the heroine from getting it when she needs it.
"I'm just curious. Rumors can't be groundless, right? What if it really can save lives? Could you help me find it?"
Ji Yunshu acted coquettishly towards her cheap brother without any pressure.
The abacus beads clattered in my mind.
The Mobei people must have hidden treasures like the Bilingdan very secretly. If Ji Yunlan wants to find it, he has to go to the Mobei Royal Court and investigate carefully.
She remembered that in the book, the King of Mobei suddenly died of illness the next year, and the new King of Mobei came to power and sent troops across the border to invade the south without any warning.
The Ji family father and son were caught off guard and rushed out in a hurry, but fell into an ambush.
If Ji Yunlan had paid attention to the movements of the Mobei Royal Court earlier and discovered the clues, he might have been able to escape the disaster.
"Okay, if you want it, I'll help you find it, but it may not exist, and Zhao Shen's legs..."
He paused before continuing, "I'm afraid the Marquis of Changxing has already tried all the possible methods, and so much time has passed. In short, don't hold out too much hope."
Ji Yunshu wanted to explain that he was not looking for this thing to treat Zhao Shen's leg, but when he thought about it carefully, Zhao Shen's life was also in danger, and the book did not say in detail how he died, so maybe it could be used.
Besides, there was no harm in letting her brother think so, so she simply admitted it: "It's always good to have hope. Brother, just try your best. If you really can't find it, it's okay."
Ji Yunlan nodded in agreement.
Ji Yunshu stayed until evening before returning to the Changxing Marquis Mansion with Zhao Shen.
After returning home, she lazily lay by the window and looked at the scenery outside.
It is May now. Outside the window, there is a bunch of peonies in full bloom, which contrasts with the gradually fading sunset in the sky, which is a beautiful sight.
Ji Yunshu, however, was in no mood to appreciate it.
She should have had no feelings for the father and son of the Ji family, but after becoming Ji Yunshu in the book, they became blood-related relatives.
Not to mention that the love of the Ji family really fell on her.
When Ji Yunshu thought about how they never came back in the book, it was hard not to feel sad.
Zhao Shen saw that she was in a rare state of low spirits and whispered, "Are you worried about your father-in-law and elder brother? The King of Mobei is old and doesn't have any ambitions to invade the south. The situation in the northern border is stable, so they will be fine."
"But what if the King of Mobei dies and someone else takes the throne?"
Perhaps it was because Zhao Shen's tone was too gentle that Ji Yunshu unconsciously let down his guard and expressed his worries.
As she spoke, she was still staring at the sky in a daze, and did not notice that Zhao Shen's fingertips gripping the armrest of the wheelchair suddenly exerted force and turned white.
But it was only for a moment. By the time Ji Yunshu turned around, he had already quietly loosened his grip. "Why do you say that? Although the King of Mobei is old, he seems to be in good health. Besides, even if a new king takes the throne, it's more important to consolidate his position. There's no guarantee of war."
Ji Yunshu knew that everyone thought this way. Even his father and brothers who were guarding the northern border did not expect that Mobei would suddenly send troops, so they were caught off guard.
However, since she could change her fate of marrying Zhao Heng, she could definitely save her father and brother's lives.
"You're right, I was just worrying too much."
The sadness in his heart faded, and Ji Yunshu regained his spirits. "What did my father say to you? He didn't embarrass you again, did he?"
"Of course, she told me to take good care of you." Zhao Shen watched her mood change and suddenly said meaningfully, "If you want to know anything in the future, you can ask me directly."
Ji Yunshu knew he was talking about his father's attempt to test him today, and his eyes widened: "My father told you?"
No way, is her father such a nagging person?
Zhao Shen was amused by her appearance: "General Ji is not a man who would attack a disabled person."
Ji Yunshu was exposed by him in front of her, and she said with a guilty conscience: "I just want to see how powerful you are."
Zhao Shen jokingly asked, "You saw it, are you satisfied?"
Ji Yunshu realized that he was teasing her, so she didn't feel embarrassed anymore: "I have always been very satisfied with you. Didn't you know that a long time ago?"
Zhao Shen: “…”
Ji Yunshu felt that when dealing with such an innocent and handsome ancient boy, he was simply using a dimensionality reduction attack.
In just a few days, she found that getting along with Zhao Shen was really easy.
He was indeed as described in the book, impeccable in everything from his speech and behavior to his character and cultivation.
Always be humble, polite and gentle in what you say and do.
Even when faced with her teasing, he could be appropriately shy.
It's so perfect it's unreal.
Ji Yunshu remembered hearing someone say before that if something is too perfect to be true, then it is most likely not true.
Now, she feels the same way about people.
I just don’t know what kind of face is hidden under Zhao Shen’s perfect mask?
She suddenly became interested: "Can I really ask anything?"
Seeing her eagerness to try, Zhao Shen laughed and said, "It seems that Madam has many questions."
"Not much, I just want to know, this courtyard is guarded so tightly, who are they guarding against?"
She wouldn't think that Zhao Shen was really a kind person just because he seemed to have a good temper.
After all, they had only been married for a few days, and Zhao Shen didn't trust her at all, so how could he tell her everything?
But she only knew the general plot of the book and was completely clueless about the details.
Zhao Shen was in the situation and was smart and sharp, so he might know something that was not mentioned in the book.
We always have to find a breakthrough. Even if it means revealing a corner of Zhao Shen's disguise, it is a little risky, but it is better than facing unexpected danger in the future.
Zhao Shen was stunned for a moment before he said, "You can think of it as me cherishing my life."
Ji Yunshu raised an eyebrow: "For no reason, is it really necessary to cherish your life like this?"
Zhao Shen was silent. Ji Yunshu sighed, "I don't mean to pry into your privacy, but I'm already married to you. Husband and wife are one. I don't want to die one day without knowing how I died."
Zhao Shen stared at Ji Yunshu with a deep gaze, then slowly spoke: "You really don't know? Then why did you know about my second brother and Miss Yao? Why did you choose to marry me? And why did you think that my fall from the horse was not an accident?"
Ji Yunshu listened to his increasingly pressing questions and took a deep breath to calm himself down.
She said, if the Queen Mother could see such an obvious flaw, how could Zhao Shen be unaware of it?
