Chapter 226 The enemy of my enemy is my friend
To be honest, she and Zhao Shen had never looked down on the Yao family, but what should and shouldn't have happened still happened.
Until now, they still know nothing about Yao's trump card.
Although it is clear that Yao's weakness is Zhao Heng.
But unless you want to break up, this reverse scale cannot be moved at all.
Xiao Kun had an unfathomable smile on his face: "Have you forgotten that I am your enemy? How could I possibly tell you everything?"
Ji Yunshu was stunned. The atmosphere was so good just now that she had actually forgotten about this. She curled her lips and said, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Since we both dislike the Yao family, why can't we cooperate?"
Xiao Kun shook his head: "Things are not as simple as you think, and the Yao family is not that easy to deal with."
After saying that, he stood up, said goodbye and walked out.
But when he reached the door, he stopped and looked back and said, "Those people down there aren't anything interesting. He never puts the truly important people in the open."
This is what Xiao Kun really wants to say tonight.
Obviously, Zhao Shen guessed right. King Yong really sent someone, and he must be a very powerful person.
But the man is still in the dark.
This is not difficult to understand. Yan Ningmo's high profile is indeed very suitable for attracting people's attention.
However, the imperial examinations and even the official career look at much more than just talent.
In Zhao Shen's view, Yan Ningmo can only be regarded as an extremely talented scholar, but there is still a long way to go before he can become a real politician.
For some reason, Ji Yunshu heard sadness in Xiao Kun's words.
He said that Prince Yong would never put the truly important people in the open.
But he was put on the surface.
So in Prince Yong's heart, this prince is not important at all?
She thought of Xiao Kun, who was bullied in the palace as a child, and how he taught her to play the song his mother taught him.
Even though he said they were enemies, he still came in person to remind them to be careful of the Yao family.
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but said as Xiao Kun stepped out of the room: "Send someone to check on your mother."
Ever since Xiao Kun was sent to the capital, Princess Yong has become an invisible person in Prince Yong's Mansion.
However, the various women of Prince Yong competed with each other for beauty, and Princess Yong was inevitably affected.
Even if things were calm, her life would not be easy.
According to Ji Yunshu's Impressions book, Princess Yong died around the time of this imperial examination.
She knew that Princess Yong was very important to Xiao Kun, so if Princess Yong were alive, perhaps Xiao Kun would be different.
When Xiao Kun heard her words, he paused, tried hard to resist the urge to look back at her, and strode out of the restaurant.
The room suddenly became quiet. After a long while, Zhao Shen said, "We should go back."
Ji Yunshu was still immersed in pondering the plot, because she remembered that the top scorer in this imperial examination was indeed Yan Ningmo, and he was indeed from Prince Yong's Mansion.
His parents died when he was young. King Yong accidentally learned from a teacher that he had a talent for studying, so he continued to support him.
He was full of knowledge about benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, and was deeply grateful to King Yong, but he had no idea that King Yong was planning a rebellion.
After becoming the top scorer in the imperial examination, he was used by King Yong to do many things.
Finally, when Prince Yong forced the emperor to abdicate, he was hacked to death while guarding the palace gate.
Thinking of this, Ji Yunshu was a little stunned for a moment. In the book, Yan Ningmo was described as a traitor.
His betrayal caused damage to Prince Yong's reputation.
But Ji Yunshu saw the character of a scholar in him.
The couple left the restaurant with their own thoughts. Ji Yunshu didn't see the excitement she wanted to see, but she was not in the mood to see it at the moment.
They got straight into the carriage for the return trip.
However, he did not notice that in the restaurant behind him, behind a group of scholars, stood an extremely inconspicuous young man, staring at them in a daze.
There was a strange glint in his eyes that didn't match his appearance.
It was already late when they returned to the mansion. Ji Yunshu was not hungry even after eating a belly full of cakes and drinking tea, so he sent everyone out.
Along the way, she had noticed that Zhao Shen was particularly silent.
After everyone left, she asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you worried about Yao?"
Zhao Shen couldn't help feeling a little depressed when he saw her caring expression.
He knew that although Ji Yunshu often said that she liked him, it was not credible.
At least he didn't believe it before he went to Suzhou.
But a weak woman like Ji Yunshu ran to Suzhou to save him regardless of her own safety.
Throughout his life, he lived in a noble family and seemed rich, but he had very few things that truly belonged to him.
The moment he realized that he liked Ji Yunshu, he had already made up his mind to catch her.
Fortunately, she also likes him.
So he consummated the marriage with her.
He fully believed that they would be a loving couple.
But now it seems that Ji Yunshu doesn't understand what love is. No wonder she keeps talking about it all the time. She is clearly not smart.
Zhao Shen lowered his eyes to hide the disappointment in his eyes, pulled her to sit down and asked: "Why did you remind Xiao Kunyong about Princess Yong?"
He also remembered that Princess Yong would not live long.
To them, Xiao Kun was an enemy, not a friend, and he thought Ji Yunshu knew this.
Ji Yunshu then realized that Zhao Shen seemed to be angry with her.
There's no way around it. When this person is angry, he's mostly fighting with himself, and you can't tell anything from his appearance.
If it weren't for Ji Yunshu, he would have felt that he was too silent and hadn't realized this.
She didn't dare to admit that she suddenly softened her heart and felt a little sympathetic towards Xiao Kun, so she asked, "If Princess Yong survives because of this, does that mean Xiao Kun owes us a favor?"
Zhao Shen was a little surprised: "You want Xiao Kun to owe you a favor? Why? You saved him, he already owes you a life-saving grace, it may not be of any use."
Ji Yunshu thought of Xiao Kun's annoying mouth and felt that the guy was not someone who would remember a favor.
"Forget it, I was just impulsive. Anyway, it won't do any harm to us if Princess Yong is alive."
Zhao Shen stared at her for a moment and pointed out her true thoughts: "Are you sympathizing with Xiao Kun?"
At the same time, Zhao Shen realized the real reason why he felt uncomfortable. He was bothered by Ji Yunshu's sympathy for Xiao Kun.
Because in the beginning, Ji Yunshu was willing to marry him and help him, not only to get rid of Zhao Heng, but also out of sympathy.
Sympathize with him because he is a cripple, sympathize with him because he will die early.
He always knew that she was a soft-hearted girl.
Ji Yunshu lit a censer of incense and said with a smile, "Although he was a bit unlucky and met a father who didn't take him seriously, he is still the prince of a royal family. His abilities and methods are not weak. His brothers and sisters combined may not be his match. Why do you need my sympathy?"
When she told Xiao Kun about this, she might have intended to stir up trouble in the backyard of Prince Yong's mansion.
Just take a look and you will know how destructive Xiao Kun is.
When Zhao Shen smelled the familiar fragrance, the depression in his chest dissipated a little.
He pulled Ji Yunshu into his arms and said, "Don't make perfume for others anymore, okay?"
Ji Yunshu's eyes widened. "How can that be? I was planning to make a fragrance for my aunt. She's been living too tense these past few years and needs to relax a little. Also... well..."
Zhao Shen directly blocked her mouth and thought resignedly, forget it, it’s better for her not to be smart than to fall in love with someone else.
