Chapter 121 That Person Should Not Be Here
Zhao Shen recalled carefully and shook his head.
He was not paying attention to those people at the time, so naturally he did not notice that there was anything wrong with the person she was talking about.
Because it concerned Xiao Yue's privacy, Ji Yunshu did not tell Zhao Shen about Lanting.
But now, it seems that I have to say it.
Zhao Shen saw her staring at the charcoal basin in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking, and couldn't help asking, "Do you know that person?"
Ji Yunshu would not pay attention to someone for no reason, unless that person shouldn't be here.
Ji Yunshu recounted how she met Lan Ting and what happened afterwards. Finally, she frowned and said, "He was seriously injured and recuperated in Qionghua Courtyard for a while. If he deliberately approached me from the beginning, then..."
Then it is very likely that we will know their true identities.
Hearing the self-blame in her words, Zhao Shen comforted her, "It's impossible to keep our identities a secret forever. If he knows, then he can. It won't affect anything."
Things had come to this point, and Ji Yunshu no longer cared about whether his identity was exposed or not.
"I'm a little worried about Xiao Yue."
No wonder in the book Xiao Yue didn't get married until Prince Yong ascended the throne, and was finally sent to marry a foreign prince. Now it seems that Lan Ting is not a good match for her.
Zhao Shen was puzzled and said, "Why should we worry about this? There's no possibility for them to be together anyway."
The Lan family has been exiled, and Lan Ting's status is not worthy of the daughter of the Prince's Mansion.
Ji Yunshu thought that he did not live to see Prince Yong ascend the throne in his previous life, so naturally he did not know about Xiao Yue's marriage.
But she didn't intend to say that, she just said with some regret: "I originally thought that although it was difficult, it was not completely impossible."
Zhao Shen laughed and said, "Maybe we're overthinking it. Didn't you say he's been hunted by Yama? Maybe he discovered something and came here."
Ji Yunshu nodded, but didn't dare to hope for the best.
Looking back now, Lanting's appearance was also a coincidence, especially the time when I saved him.
Seeing that she was still worried, Zhao Shen said, "When I return to the capital this time, I will ask the emperor to arrange a marriage for Xiao Yue. Wouldn't that solve the problem?"
Ji Yunshu: "...This isn't good."
Can emotional matters be resolved so simply and crudely?
Zhao Shen said, "You're overthinking it. The Emperor granting marriage is a grace many people cannot hope for. Can Xiao Yue really disobey the Emperor's order for a man?"
"But didn't you also say that we might be wrong?"
We haven't figured out what exactly happened yet, is it really okay to break up the couple?
Zhao Shen felt strange. As far as he knew, Ji Yunshu and Xiao Yue did not have a good relationship. Now the focus of Lanting's affairs was obviously not on Xiao Yue, but she only cared about Xiao Yue.
He smiled and said, "Then let the emperor reveal the situation first and see how he responds. If he has no intention, then nothing you think will work."
Ji Yunshu reluctantly accepted this approach.
She cares about Xiao Yue because Xiao Yue, like her, is a person with a tragic ending in the book.
The aroma of roasted sweet potatoes wafted from the charcoal brazier.
Zhao Shen used the tongs to pick at the lumps of black stuff that looked like charcoal. His brows furrowed as he looked at them. "Are you sure this is... edible?"
They actually brought food for the journey.
But Ji Yunshu insisted that they should eat something hot in such a cold day.
"Of course, you'll know once you try it."
Ji Yunshu took the tongs from his hand and directly dug out a few sweet potatoes that looked ripe.
Seeing that Zhao Shen was staring at her, she used a handkerchief to pad her hands, picked up one and broke it open. The sweet smell instantly filled the entire carriage.
She held it to Zhao Shen's lips and said, "Be careful, it's hot."
Zhao Shen looked at the black skin on the outside and didn't want to taste it at all, but Ji Yunshu had already put it to his mouth, so he couldn't refuse, so he opened his mouth and took a small bite.
Ji Yunshu smiled and asked, "How is it?"
Zhao Shen swallowed the food before saying, "Not bad."
Although he didn't show any reluctance, he didn't seem to like it either.
Thinking that he didn't like sweet things, Ji Yunshu stopped forcing him to eat and started eating by herself.
Zhao Shen saw that she didn't mind at all that he had bitten her, and even continued eating from the place she had bitten.
An indescribable feeling suddenly surged in my heart.
My face turned red unconsciously.
After Ji Yunshu finished eating the sweet potato, she saw that his earlobe was red and bleeding, and asked curiously, "What's wrong with you? Is it hot?"
Zhao Shen coughed and said, "Yeah, it's a little hot."
Ji Yunshu was even more puzzled: "Why are you coughing again? Go back and ask Bai Ling to check you out. It's so cold here, it would be bad if you get sick."
Zhao Shen said: "I'm fine."
Ji Yunshu didn't believe him. He was already seriously injured this time, and now he had been tossing and turning with the injury for a whole day and night.
She was so tired last night that she didn't know how she fell asleep, but at least she got some sleep.
Zhao Shen kept holding her, and it was estimated that he didn't sleep well even if he fell asleep.
She had already made up her mind that this time when she returned, she would take good care of him and let him recover from his injuries.
She looked outside and asked, "Why is the carriage moving so slowly today?"
Riding in a horse-drawn carriage is really a boring experience. Not only is it slow, but you can't do anything.
Zhao Shen said, "Aren't you dissatisfied with the bumpy carriage? I don't think there's any urgent matter to return, so I'll ask them to go slower."
He accompanied Ji Yunshu on several carriage rides, and what impressed him most was her complaints about the bumpy ride.
Ji Yunshu sighed: "It's also crazy even if it's slow."
It would be nice if we could get rubber tires.
The thought flashed through her mind.
But Zhao Shen said, "This is the only way for now. However, I have studied the structure of the carriage before and found that the shock absorption you mentioned is not impossible. I have already drawn up a plan and asked someone to do it. Maybe they can make it when I go back this time."
Ji Yunshu: "...No, why are you studying the carriage when you have nothing to do?"
And it only took a short time to come up with the results. What on earth is this person's brain like?
Zhao Shen said, "I'm idle anyway, so I'll feel more comfortable going out after renovating it."
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but sigh, wondering how lucky he was to meet such a person.
When they returned to Xingqing, it was already late.
Having not had a good rest for two consecutive days, Ji Yunshu wished he could just go to bed.
But when Bai Ling saw her coming back, he said happily, "Master, you've returned just in time. Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, and the kitchen has prepared a feast, waiting for you."
Ji Yunshu had no choice but to say, "Then let's eat together."
Bai Ling smiled and said, "Mid-Autumn Festival is a day for family reunion, and there's someone here too. The master will surely be happy to see him."
Ji Yunshu's eyes lit up: "Is it my father or my brother who has come? Can they leave the border at will?"
"Master, go and see for yourself and you will know."
Ji Yunshu rushed towards the guest house that Bai Ling mentioned like a gust of wind.
Zhao Shen was left standing alone at the gate.
Bai Ling looked at his face which turned cold instantly and was at a loss for a moment.
