Chapter 152: In My Eyes, You Are the Most Powerful
Ji Yunshu suddenly looked at her: "Did you see his face?"
Yin Ye shook his head: "No, it was too dark at night before, I didn't dare to confirm it, but it was daytime yesterday, he was still wearing a mask, and his figure was correct."
Ji Yunshu pondered for a moment and asked, "You mean he stayed in the Prime Minister's residence for a day and a night?"
Yin Ye nodded: "From the looks of him, he has a special relationship with Lu Ningshuang."
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but ask, "You've seen him several times. Do you think he looks like anyone?"
Yin Ye didn't understand what she meant. After thinking carefully, he said, "You mean, he might be someone we know?"
Ji Yunshu said, "Why would someone wear a mask? Aside from being extremely ugly or beautiful, the biggest reason is to hide their face. What's so taboo about their face that they can't show it to others?"
Yin Ye understood: "He is afraid of being recognized. So we may know him, but I can't remember who he looks like."
Ji Yunshu just asked casually and didn't expect her to really guess.
She had seen Zhao Shen's disguise skills and knew very well that when he wore a mask, he would definitely change his words and deeds and would not let people think of him.
She pondered for a long time but had no clue, so she said to Yin Ye, "Keep having people keep an eye on Lu Ningshuang. They will definitely meet again."
Yin Ye nodded and walked out.
When Zhao Shen came back, he saw Ji Yunshu sitting on the low couch by the window in a daze.
He walked over and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Ji Yunshu's mind was filled with a thousand thoughts, but in the end, he only mentioned his visit to Madam Yao. "The fact that your leg has healed doesn't seem to have any impact on Madam Yao. She's still focused on arranging Zhao Heng's marriage."
Zhao Shen said, "She's a smart woman, and she might have thought of this a long time ago. And over the years, she should have realized that as long as I'm alive, the title won't fall to Zhao Heng. Even if I die now, you can still adopt a son to inherit the title. She's been so quiet, and besides looking for an opportunity to get rid of us, I'm afraid she's waiting for Prince Yong to succeed."
Ji Yunshu immediately understood that once Prince Yong came to power, the Ji family would inevitably fall, and Zhao Shen would definitely be implicated.
By then, it would be easy for Zhao Heng to get the title he wanted.
No wonder Yao is not in a hurry at all now. She just needs to let Zhao Heng marry Wei Yuanmin to express that she firmly stands on the side of King Yong. The rest can be left to time.
"Such a long-term vision and patience are truly remarkable."
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but sigh.
Zhao Shen laughed and said, "He can only hide behind the scenes and play dirty tricks. How can he be considered powerful? He is far inferior to you."
Ji Yunshu's eyebrows curved in laughter: "Do you think I'm that amazing?"
She felt that she actually had the advantage of knowing the plot, and she could not be compared with someone like Yao who single-handedly pushed her illegitimate son to the title of nobility.
Seeing her so happy, Zhao Shen couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth: "Well, in my eyes, you are the best."
Ji Yunshu found that being in love with this person was a truly pleasurable experience, both physically and mentally.
I couldn't help but hug him and kiss him, and deliberately licked his lips: "Your mouth is so sweet."
Zhao Shen was afraid that she would fall, so he simply held her in his arms: "I heard that you are planning to open a restaurant, how are the preparations going?"
Ji Yunshu said, "It's almost done, but we might not have enough cooks. But when we first open, there probably won't be too many people."
Zhao Shen said, "I've seen your plan and it's great. Promoting the opening shouldn't be a problem. Isn't the Emperor going out of the palace to see Yichen today? I was thinking you might want to open the restaurant on a day when the Emperor is out of the palace so he can come and have a chat."
Ji Yunshu was planning to invite a few people of noble status to support her, but she had never thought about the emperor.
"Weren't you worried about the emperor's safety before?"
Zhao Shen said, "Don't make it public while the emperor is here. It would be just as effective if you announced it later. From what I'm saying, this restaurant caters to the rich and powerful. These people have tasted all sorts of delicacies, so if the emperor were to visit, it would be quite useful."
Ji Yunshu's eyes lit up when she heard this. She didn't expect that Zhao Shen understood her intention just by taking a look at the simple plan she wrote, and even came up with the idea of asking the emperor to help.
That's right, she wanted to turn the restaurant into a modern high-end club, specifically to make money from rich people, the kind that ordinary people couldn't even enter the door.
Originally she was not sure if it would work, but Zhao Shen's words gave her confidence.
"If that's the case, that's great. I'll have people speed things up and try to open it within a day or two. When will the emperor come out?"
Zhao Shen said, "There's no need to rush. Since we're opening, we should at least find someone to pick a date."
Ji Yunshu asked, "Is the Emperor's health able to wait? Also, will the Emperor agree to help us?"
Although the emperor's attitude towards her has been much better recently, she has not forgotten how much he disliked her in the past and dares not get carried away.
Zhao Shen laughed and said, "You forgot that he paid you to do those things, but he didn't have much money. Isn't it right to ask him to help you make some money?"
Ji Yunshu: "...You are right."
This time she realized that Zhao Shen and the emperor had a really good relationship.
Asking the emperor to help make money is something that most people wouldn't even dare to think about, let alone do.
With this idea in mind, Ji Yunshu took decisive action.
The manpower she had previously reserved came in handy at this time.
The shopkeeper, chef, and wait staff were all ready soon.
Three days later, the restaurant opened.
Zhao Shen took the emperor there directly.
Ji Yunshu and Yichen were waiting in the private room.
Ever since Yichen followed Ji Yunshu out of Taiqing Temple, he knew that he would inevitably have to deal with people from the imperial court.
But I never expected that I would meet the emperor so soon.
But he knew in his heart that this was a good thing.
He was still nervous when he helped Ji Yunshu make explosives.
The Ji family already controls 200,000 soldiers and horses in the north. If they have such a powerful weapon in their hands, who knows if they will get carried away and do something irrational?
Power is attractive, especially when it is within reach. Who wouldn’t want it?
Now Ji Yunshu told him that the emperor knew everything he had done and supported him to continue, he really breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing him sitting there without saying a word, Ji Yunshu thought he was nervous, so he smiled and said, "I haven't thanked you yet, Taoist priest. This time, thanks to the gift you gave me, I was able to rescue the prince safely from the assassins."
Yichen found that her face looked different again. Before, it was dark and obscured her vitality and fortune, but now it looked like the clouds had cleared and the moon was shining.
Although the road ahead is bumpy, the master is right, she does have the potential to bring blessings to the world.
Hearing her words, Yichen said, "Those things were originally made by Madam at her expense, so they naturally belong to Madam."
Ji Yunshu said, "Thank you, Taoist Priest. There are many people willing to spend money on explosives, but you might not be willing to help them. But I used that thing in Suzhou this time, and I'm afraid you won't have peace in the future."
Yichen said, "Someone did come to see me recently, but he was quite polite in trying to win me over. This may not be the case in the future. Madam, can you guarantee my safety?"
Ji Yunshu frowned: "Did someone find the manor?"
