Chapter 139 The Emperor's Letter
"So what's so special about this place?"
"Maybe there really is some hidden card here to use against us." Zhao Shen smiled and said, "Who knows, it might not be a bad thing."
Ji Yunshu recalled the incident of being led to Suzhou.
Shen Qin looked at the two of them and asked in confusion, "What does this mean?"
Ji Yunshu briefly recounted what happened in Suzhou.
Shen Qin concluded: "Does this mean someone is using you to deal with Xiao Xun?"
Zhao Shen said: "At least the person who came to Suzhou to deal with the aftermath was Xiao Xun. He is the first person from Prince Yong's Mansion to truly surface. He dared to appear in front of me, which means he has enough confidence."
Shen Qin: "Well, that makes sense. Actually, something was amiss with the previous events in the capital. Now it seems someone is really messing things up."
Zhao Shen nodded: "So we are not the ones who should be anxious now. If we can't find any information, we can just wait and see. Since they are coming for us, they will definitely not do nothing."
Shen Qin felt a headache after hearing this. He found that Zhao Shen had really changed. In the past, when he did things, he was always quick and efficient and never dragged his feet like this.
Seeing him like this, Zhao Shen frowned and asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Shen Qin looked at Ji Yunshu, then at him, and finally said, "The emperor sent a message asking you to return to the capital as soon as possible."
Ji Yunshu then understood that what Shen Qin said before was just improvisation, and this sentence was the key point.
"Did something happen in the capital?"
The emperor would not urge Zhao Shen to return to the capital for no reason.
Shen Qin said: "The letter didn't say anything specific, but the letter from the Prince of Lin'an County vaguely mentioned that the emperor seemed to be ill."
"What?"
Ji Yunshu was startled by these words, and the teacup in her hand fell over. The hot tea scalded her hand, and she suddenly woke up.
It is clear that at this time in the book, the emperor was in good health.
Again in advance.
Was it because of her intervention that changed the plot, or was there another reason?
Shen Qin didn't expect her reaction to be so big, and looked at Zhao Shen in confusion.
Zhao Shen didn't even glance at him, but grabbed Ji Yunshu's hand and comforted him: "Don't worry, the emperor will be fine. We will return to the capital as soon as possible."
Seeing that there was nothing for Shen Qin to do, he left.
Zhao Shen applied medicine to the back of Ji Yunshu's blistered hand: "Does it still hurt?"
Ji Yunshu said absentmindedly, "It doesn't hurt. How could this happen? Haven't the emperor's servants checked it many times?"
"You can't eliminate all spies. The previous ones are gone, and who can guarantee that the ones who replace them will be clean? Don't scare yourself. Who knows, the weather has turned cold recently and the emperor may have caught a cold."
Ji Yunshu didn't believe him: "If it was just a common illness, why would the emperor be so anxious to ask you to return to the capital?"
Zhao Shen carefully wrapped her hand and said with a smile, "We have changed a lot. The Empress has given birth to a legitimate prince, and the Emperor plans to appoint a crown prince next year. You are well, and your father and brother are well too. Even if those people want to do something, they won't succeed easily."
When Ji Yunshu first heard that the emperor was ill, he did feel a sense of panic that everything that happened in the book might happen again.
But now, she has come to her senses and analyzed carefully, "Do you think it is possible that someone lured us here to make it easier to act in the capital?"
Zhao Shen said: "Of course it's possible. You were in the capital, but you disrupted many of their plans."
"So what should we do next? Should we go back to Beijing now?"
Zhao Shen said, "Since we're here, we can't make this trip in vain. Let's go find Luo Kui directly."
"Didn't they say that only acquaintances can enter the Luo family?"
Zhao Shen said, "If you reveal your identity, he won't dare turn you away. Besides, how can we have a funeral without a body? Zhuoren's body is still with us."
Ji Yunshu: “…”
Are you planning to come here and cause trouble?
Zhao Shen knew what she was thinking the moment he saw her expression. "It's common knowledge that Luo Kui is colluding with the Mobei people, so I have every right to kill him. He dared to put a bounty on our lives, so he should be prepared to die."
"Didn't you say he might be being blackmailed by someone? Don't you want to investigate?"
"Let's deal with Luo Kui first and return to the capital. Shen Qin will slowly investigate what's going on here."
Ji Yunshu had no objection, she was indeed worried about the emperor's health.
In the book, he was poisoned by a chronic poison and died after being weak for a long time.
Even later than the death of his own body and Zhao Shen.
I don’t know what’s going on this time?
"When are we going to the Luo family?"
"Tonight."
Zhao Shen gently stroked the burnt area of Ji Yunshu's body with his fingers and asked softly, "Are you scared?"
Ji Yunshu grabbed his fingertips that were fidgeting on the back of her hand and said, "When you married me, you should have known that I wasn't some well-behaved lady from a wealthy family. I'm not that timid."
"Yeah, I know." Zhao Shen's voice was low, "I'm afraid. I'm afraid that I'll really put you in danger."
Ji Yunshu found that she was becoming increasingly unable to bear his gentle offensive, but she quickly realized: "If you say that, do you mean you don't want to take me with you?"
Zhao Shen laughed: "You found out."
Ji Yunshu said unhappily, "No, I want to go."
Zhao Shen said: "Well, I am worried about leaving you here, let's go together."
When it was getting dark, Zhao Shen and Ji Yunshu took Zhuo Ren's body out of the door.
The Luo family was not far from the inn where they were staying, and the two of them arrived there in a short walk.
The gatekeeper saw a handsome man and woman coming to his door. He thought they were guests coming to pay their respects. Just as he was about to go forward to greet them, he saw someone following them carrying a coffin.
I couldn't help but ask: "What do you two mean by this?"
Zhao Shen said, "Didn't Luo Kui put a bounty on our lives? Let him take it himself."
The servant: “…”
He knew that his master had offered a reward for the murderer of his sworn brother.
So what this person meant was that he was going to die?
Seeing that the servant didn't move, Zhao Shen said, "Oh, tell him by the way that I also sent him Zhuo Ren's body."
The servant finally reacted. He knew how good Zhuo Ren's kung fu was and that he was almost invincible in the martial arts world.
If this person can kill Zhuo Ren, doesn't that mean he is more powerful than Zhuo Ren?
He didn't dare to invite them in. As he was hesitating, a middle-aged man came out and said, "My master invites Prince Zhao and his wife in."
Zhao Shen and Ji Yunshu were invited in.
Luo Kui was in his bedroom, pacing anxiously, "What's going on with this Prince Zhao? Did he just come here to get himself killed?"
Sitting on a chair in the living room was a man in black, wearing a mask on his face, and speaking with a somewhat nonchalant tone: "You already said he's here to die, what are you afraid of?"
Luo Kui was irritated by his indifferent tone: "He is the eldest son of the Changxing Marquisate. If he really dies here, even if my entire family dies, it won't be enough to pay for it."
"Are you scared now? What were you doing before?"
"The higher-ups have issued the order, what can I do? If anyone knew about my deal with the Mobei people, I would only end up in a more miserable state."
