Chapter 167 No Evidence
Zhao Shen said, "She is under house arrest. Prime Minister Lu personally arranged a marriage for her. It shouldn't be long before they get married."
The news came a bit suddenly. Ji Yunshu asked doubtfully, "What about the Xia family? Are they just letting it go, just like that, with her poisoning Madam Lu?"
"She bit it to death and said it was a calming incense, and that incense does have a calming effect. After all, she is Mrs. Lu's biological daughter. Without evidence, who can say that she deliberately murdered her biological mother?"
The reason they speculated was so crazy that no normal person would even think of it.
"That's amazing." Even in such a situation, she was still able to escape. She couldn't help but ask, "Who did she arrange her marriage with?"
Zhao Shen said, "It's still the Qi family. The two families have almost reached an agreement. The young master of the Qi family is also deeply in love with Lu Ningshuang. Previously, they put it on hold on the grounds that Madam Lu was seriously ill. Now that the cause of Madam Lu's illness has been discovered, she will recover soon. It's not too surprising."
Ji Yunshu laughed and said, "To marry such a vicious daughter to him, does Prime Minister Lu have some deep hatred with the Qi family?"
Zhao Shen shook his head: "I checked before, and there is no problem with the Qi family at the moment."
This was also within Ji Yunshu's expectations: "So Lu Ningshuang's marriage is intended to win over the Qi family? What about Prime Minister Lu?"
The Left Prime Minister is an important official of the country.
If he was King Yong's man, things would be more serious than they imagined.
Zhao Shen shook his head and said, "Currently, there is no clue that he is related to Prince Yong's Mansion. Even if it's Lu Ningshuang, it's just our guess."
Ji Yunshu leaned back, his entire body sinking into the soft pillow behind him. He looked at the beams and said lazily, "You're right."
She seemed to have lost all interest and didn't speak again.
In silence, Zhao Shen looked at her and asked, "Are you angry?"
Ji Yunshu still looked up, not looking at him, but just smiled and said, "This is none of my business, why should I be angry?"
She just felt a little aggrieved. Lu Ningshuang had done so much, but did it really not leave any traces?
Is it true that the origin of the spices that Lu Ningshuang used for Madam Lu cannot be traced?
She remembered Bai Ling saying that snow sunflower was a rare thing, and if one was willing to investigate, one could still find clues.
Lu Ningshuang had a secret meeting with another man. Did the Lu, Qi, and Xia families all turn a blind eye?
Lanting has been to Suzhou. Is it possible that we can't find out anything starting from him?
There are also the things that Concubine Xia Shu did in the palace, which were clearly the work of Lu Ningshuang.
But now, Zhao Shen told her that there was no evidence.
She always thought that Zhao Shen and the emperor would definitely stand on her side.
But now think about it, is it certain?
She felt that the emperor was tied to the Ji family, but in fact it was the Ji family that needed the emperor.
Even without the Ji family, there would still be countless loyal ministers and famous generals who would be loyal to him.
And Zhao Shen, he was reborn and could change his fate, how could he not be able to touch Lu Ningshuang?
But there are other trade-offs.
He never mentioned these to her.
Yes, how could these people who grew up in the center of power think the same as her?
"Ji Yunshu, what are you thinking about?"
Zhao Shen sat down next to her at some point, and his cold voice rang in her ears.
There seemed to be a hint of panic in his voice.
This was the first time Ji Yunshu heard him call her by her full name. She recalled her thoughts and smiled, "Nothing, I just suddenly felt like I was worrying too much."
Her original purpose was just to change her fate as a cannon fodder and survive.
Now she is thinking about helping the world. She is really bored.
The world is something that the emperor and those so-called pillars of the court should worry about.
She ignored what Zhao Shen said and called Lu Ru in and asked, "What ingredients are in the kitchen? Let's make something delicious tonight."
Lu Ru said, "We have some fresh venison sent from the farm in the north. How would you like to eat it?"
Seeing that it was still snowing outside, Ji Yunshu thought for a moment and said, "Let's roast them. Prepare some roasted vegetables and make some soup to clear away heat and internal heat."
Barbecue is easy to cause heatiness, not to mention venison, which is nutritious.
She stood up and wrote a recipe for barbecue dipping sauce for Lu Ru: "It's basically these seasonings. You can figure out the specific amount of each one."
In her previous life, she had seen a recipe for barbecue ingredients while watching a video, but she only knew the general ingredients and could not remember the specific proportions.
Fortunately, there is Lu Ru. This girl is really talented in eating. There are many things that she can only describe in outline, but Lu Ru can make them, and the taste is no worse than what she had eaten in her previous life.
So with such good conditions, she doesn't enjoy them and works herself to death all day long. She is simply crazy.
Ji Yunshu wanted to give up at this moment.
Lu Ru agreed and went to prepare.
Zhao Shen saw that Ji Yunshu seemed depressed for a moment, and then he started to discuss with the maid what to eat in the evening with great interest.
It didn't look like she was any different, but he had a feeling she was different.
He carefully recalled what he had just said, vaguely guessing that it was related to Lu Ningshuang.
Thinking of the emperor's words, he hugged Ji Yunshu from behind and promised softly: "I will resolve Lu Ningshuang's matter as soon as possible."
I feel so guilty.
Ji Yunshu chuckled and hummed, without saying anything else.
Zhao Shen clearly felt that Ji Yunshu refused to communicate with him, and he realized that things were getting troublesome.
He was about to say something when he heard the sound of a maid walking outside.
Ji Yunshu left his arms and walked out.
Lu Ru asked someone to bring a charcoal brazier and put wire mesh on it.
Fresh vegetables and meat are ready.
Lu Ru held a jar of seasoning in her hand and said with a smile, "I mixed it up according to Madam's recipe. It's already very fragrant, but there are still a few seasonings that we don't have in the mansion. Once we find them, it will definitely taste even better."
Ji Yunshu tasted it and his eyes lit up: "Hmm, it is indeed very fragrant."
Lu Ru was very happy to receive the compliment: "Do you see if there is anything else you need to prepare?"
Ji Yunshu took a look and felt that everything he needed was ready, so he said, "You and Yin Ye both like to eat, so you can prepare some and eat them too. The prince and I will do it ourselves."
Barbecue is fun when you do it yourself.
Lu Ru was even happier: "Madam is so nice."
Ji Yunshu looked at her bright smile, and the depression in his heart suddenly dissipated.
Sincerity can still be rewarded with sincerity.
She rubbed Lu Ru's head and said with a smile, "Go ahead."
Lan Yin looked at the two masters in the room and felt that the atmosphere was a little off. She hesitated for a moment, then said, "I don't really like these, so I'll stay here and serve you."
Ji Yunshu said, "If you don't like eating, it's okay to go play for a while. Just leave the two little maids behind."
Before Lan Yin could say anything, she was pulled out by the excited Lu Ru.
She looked at the girl who only knew how to eat with some helplessness and sighed.
Never mind, there's nothing she can do if she keeps it.
In the room, Ji Yunshu asked Zhao Shen to grill meat as usual.
She picked up a piece of roasted venison and tasted it, and felt that the wild venison here indeed tasted better.
Seeing Zhao Shen's hesitation, as if he didn't know where to start, he picked up a piece of meat and handed it to him: "It's best to grill it a little bit like this, with the aroma of smoke."
Zhao Shen looked at her smiling face and suddenly felt relieved. Perhaps everything that just happened was just his illusion.
