Chapter 235: The Emperor is Infected
Ji Yunshu discovered that this girl was really willing to take risks.
As long as she breaks free from the constraints imposed on women by the world, she will be able to see a new world.
Cen Xi has such courage and determination, and she doesn't want to discourage her.
If it succeeds, she will be able to find a new path.
Even if she loses, as long as she doesn't care about other people's eyes and opinions, those people can't hurt her.
"Then do your best."
Although Cen Xi seemed calm, he was actually a little nervous when he said those words.
In her eyes, Ji Yunshu was a true noble lady who grew up in a palace with the strictest rules and etiquette, so when they first met, she also pretended to be gentle and polite.
But these few contacts and tests made her realize that Ji Yunshu was not what she thought.
So she tried to open up, and gradually her true nature was revealed.
I didn't expect Ji Yunshu to accept it so easily.
But thinking about what she knew about Ji Yunshu, she felt that this was a matter of course.
Ji Yunshu is not a woman who follows the rules, otherwise she would have married Zhao Heng instead of Zhao Shen. She might still be fighting with Yao Ruolan in the backyard and has no time to take care of her affairs.
"I wish we had met earlier."
She said with some regret.
Ji Yunshu certainly understood what she meant: "It's not too late now. Regarding Lin Huixue's matter, just do as you wish. If you need any help, please let me know."
After the two chatted and had a happy meal, Ji Yunshu said goodbye and left.
Unexpectedly, I met Zhao Ke, who had just returned home, at the door.
She was not very familiar with Zhao Ke, and they had met no more than a handful of times.
It was Zhao Ke who stepped forward first and bowed respectfully to her: "Greetings, sister-in-law."
Ji Yunshu had no choice but to say, "Third brother, there's no need to be so polite."
She and Zhao Ke really had nothing to say to each other, so they exchanged a few words and went back to their respective residences.
She didn't take it to heart, but Lan Yin mentioned it: "The Third Young Master seems to be out of the house a lot recently."
Ji Yunshu didn't have the habit of venting his anger on others. Zhao Ke didn't know what Qin had done. He had been staying at home and keeping a low profile these days.
"Although he has to observe mourning and cannot participate in this year's Spring Examination, he has been preparing for a long time at the academy. Perhaps some of his friends and classmates will be attending the examination, so it's normal for him to have some social engagements."
Lan Yin nodded. "Come to think of it, the Third Young Master is a bit like the Second Madam. He's always so quiet, as if he doesn't even exist in the mansion."
Her words suddenly made Ji Yunshu's heart skip a beat.
In the past, Qin Shi was indeed the same as Zhao Ke is now, but she did everything she should do.
Qin's death has become a thing of the past for the people in the Marquis' Mansion. Because her death was related to an ignominious past, it has even become a taboo. Yao even issued a gag order not to let anyone mention it.
But for Zhao Ke, his biological mother just died like that. Is he really as calm as he appears to be?
Ji Yunshu rubbed her brows. She found that she was a bit of a conspiracy theorist now. Whenever she saw someone, she would unconsciously think of them in a bad way.
Whether it is Lin Huixue or Zhao Ke.
"It's none of our business to worry about the Third Young Master's affairs. How's the eldest young lady doing these days?"
She still cares more about the little girl than these men.
Watching her biological mother commit suicide by taking poison in front of her, Zhao Fu might be left with a psychological trauma.
Lan Yin said, "The eldest daughter is the same. After the Second Madam's funeral, she has been staying in her own courtyard. Apart from occasionally paying her respects to the Madam, she has hardly ever left the house."
Ji Yunshu said, "It's not good to stay in the house all the time. If you have something on your mind, you'll easily feel depressed. Ask her to come over and sit with you when you have time."
Lan Yin smiled and said, "Master always likes to worry about these things. You have already helped a lot with the young lady's affairs."
Although the result was not good and the eldest girl lost her mother, it was Qin's own fault and had nothing to do with the master.
She discovered that Ji Yunshu was particularly concerned about the affairs of the little girls, no matter if they were the young lady of the Prince of Lin'an's Mansion or the eldest girl in the mansion, and now there was also a girl from the Cen family.
The smile on Ji Yunshu's face faded a little: "It's not easy for girls in this world, so I'll help if I can."
Lan Yin thought about it and said, "You're right."
Ji Yunshu returned to the house and had nothing to do, so he tried to improve the spices based on Zhao Shen's sleep habits over the past few days.
Although Zhao Shen was busier than before, he had resolved many of his worries. Coupled with her spices, he rarely suffered from insomnia.
Soon she was completely absorbed in the preparation of spices, putting aside all the messy things.
When Zhao Shen came back, he saw Ji Yunshu sitting in front of the incense table, concentrating on making perfume.
Smelling the elegant fragrance, all his tiredness was swept away in an instant.
Ji Yunshu was also finishing up, so he waved at him and said, "Come over and smell it, see if you like it."
Zhao Shen sat down next to her and sniffed the incense in the incense burner: "Is it different from before?"
Ji Yunshu nodded: "Your insomnia has been rare today, so I reduced the amount of calming incense and replaced it with something else. Can you smell it?"
Zhao Shen shook his head: "My nose isn't that sensitive, but this smell is very pleasant."
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "As long as you feel comfortable, I think you're a little tense, so I added some relaxing spices. You'll feel more relaxed after using this."
"Thank you very much, ma'am."
Zhao Shen liked Ji Yunshu's attentiveness to him, and said with a happy expression.
Ji Yunshu put the spices away, stood up and found that it was already dark outside.
When Lu Ru saw Zhao Shen coming back, she quickly took people to prepare dinner.
The two sat down at the dining table, and Ji Yunshu couldn't help but ask, "Why have you been coming back so late these past few days? Is there something thorny going on?"
There have been a lot of things happening in the court since the Chinese New Year, especially these days. The emperor and Zhao Shen want to overthrow Prime Minister Lu, which is not an easy task.
Not to mention that the imperial examination is about to begin, and because of the emperor's attitude, everyone takes this examination very seriously.
But with so many candidates in the capital, Zhao Shen, the Jingzhao Yin, naturally felt a lot of pressure.
So Ji Yunshu was busy with his own things these days and did not disturb Zhao Shen.
But unexpectedly, the question she asked casually made Zhao Shen silent.
She looked at Zhao Shen in surprise: "Is there really something that even you find difficult?"
Zhao Shen has extraordinary abilities. Things that would stump most people can be easily solved by him.
She really couldn't imagine anything that could make him feel embarrassed.
Zhao Shen paused for a moment before saying, "It was the emperor. He was drugged when he was fifteen. He and a palace maid like you..."
Ji Yunshu was a little surprised when he heard him hesitate to speak. "Did the emperor really get the virus? Isn't his body resistant to drugs?"
Zhao Shen shook his head: "I don't know the specific situation, but the emperor issued an edict today to confer the title of Yipin on that palace maid."
Ji Yunshu took a deep breath when she heard this. For a palace maid to be promoted directly to a concubine was simply a step to heaven.
"It's been over a month, why did you just remember..."
