Chapter 252: What is hidden in the Marquis’ Mansion?
Is there really such a thing?
Ji Yunshu continued, "Miss, you are wrong. Since the things are in the Changxing Marquis Mansion, they belong to my Changxing Marquis Mansion. Do you have any evidence to prove that they are yours?"
"There's..."
Qiyun stopped talking mid-sentence: "You want to trick me into talking? Dream on."
Just a little bit.
Ji Yunshu felt a little regretful: "Forget it if you don't say it. I was thinking of giving it to you. After all, something that is very important to you is of no use to the Marquis' Mansion."
She guessed that it must be the spoils that Zhao Shen’s grandfather brought back from southern Xinjiang.
Unexpectedly, Qiyun looked at her coldly and said, "I won't believe you. Just stay here and don't play tricks."
Ji Yunshu had never known his credibility was so poor: "You'd rather be a dog for others than trust me? Do you know that your wanton use of poison in the capital will bring disaster to all Miao people? Can't the lesson of the destruction of the country make you sober?"
Qiyun's face turned pale, but she had made up her mind not to talk to Ji Yunshu anymore. She glared at her, slammed the door and walked out.
Ji Yunshu sighed. This girl was easy to deceive, but she was too stubborn.
But she also got a lot of information.
It seems that the Miao people secretly cooperated with the people in Prince Yong's Mansion.
No wonder the poison that never appears outside southern Xinjiang appeared in the capital.
The question now is, what are they looking for and what is the use of this thing?
Thinking of this, Ji Yunshu suddenly felt that perhaps kidnapping her was just a private decision made by the Miao people.
After all, this is too risky and too crude, and the shrewd people in Prince Yong's Mansion should not do such a thing.
The fact that the Yao family spent more than twenty years in the Marquis' Mansion looking for something shows that they are not in a hurry.
The ones who are anxious are the Miao people.
It seems that her life will not be in danger.
Her clothes had been changed, and now the only parts of her body that could move were probably her eyes and mouth. It was unlikely that she could escape on her own.
I wonder what will happen if Zhao Shen finds out that she is missing?
Zhao Shen was very calm. He confirmed with Cen Xi that there was nothing unusual when Ji Yunshu left the restaurant.
The person disappeared after leaving the restaurant.
The carriage stopped in a remote alley, and several families in the alley claimed that they had not seen the people inside.
The driver and the people who followed Ji Yunshu disappeared.
Other than that, there are no clues.
It was already late at night, and Zhao Shen was still under the lamp summarizing the information that kept being sent back.
Finally, at dawn, he raised his head, revealing his bloodshot eyes: "Pass the order down. From now on, have the patrol camp arrest all Miao people in the capital."
Jingzhe's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. Although the prince looked rational and calm, the words he said were bloodthirsty and cold. He felt that if his lady couldn't find his wife, the prince would probably go crazy.
"What's the reason?"
Zhao Shen said, "They are plotting to murder this prince with poison."
Jingzhe felt that it was not appropriate: "Will this anger them and make them hurt Madam?"
Zhao Shen sneered: "They dare not."
After saying that, he got up and went to Lord Zhao's yard.
Lord Zhao had not gotten up yet at this time. When he heard him coming, he jumped out of bed.
Seeing that he hadn't slept all night, I couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"
Zhao Shen didn't answer his question, but asked directly: "Besides my life, what leverage do you, or our family, have in the hands of the Yao family?"
He thought about it carefully and decided that his life alone would not be enough to make Lord Zhao tolerate Yao without any bottom line.
Lord Zhao's expression changed slightly. "What nonsense are you talking about? Your father..."
Zhao Shen was determined to get to the bottom of this matter today, so he didn't waste any time talking. He interrupted him directly, saying, "Ever since Grandfather returned from conquering Nanzhao, our family has kept a low profile. Such a great achievement does indeed evoke the suspicion of being a town leader, so it's only right that he relinquish his military power and live a low-key life. I can understand why Father gave up military service to pursue literature, but you, despite your talents, have never shown them, and have only held a sinecure in the court to get by. Why is that?"
Lord Zhao opened his mouth and said after a long pause, "Didn't I tell you all this? After your mother died, I had no interest in a career in government."
"Do you believe this? If you really have a mother in your heart, why did you let her take your mother's place even though you knew it was Yao who harmed her? For so many years, you haven't even thought about avenging her. What qualifications do you have to pretend to be affectionate in her name?"
Lord Zhao listened to his words, sat down in his chair somewhat dejectedly, covered his face and asked, "What on earth happened that made you ignore it like this?"
Zhao Shen said, "The Miao people kidnapped Yunshu."
Lord Zhao asked in confusion, "Why did they kidnap Yunshu?"
Zhao Shen stared coldly at Marquis Zhao and said, "Then I have to ask my father, what exactly is hidden in our mansion that made the Miao people take the risk of kidnapping her?"
"You mean, they're looking for something?"
"What else? Yao chose you from among all the men in the capital. Could it be that she was deeply in love with you? She must be cuckolded by you?"
His words were sharp and mean.
Lord Zhao's face turned pale from being stabbed. "If the Miao people are looking for something, it should be... the ring you asked me about last time. That's what your grandfather brought back from Nanzhao."
Zhao Shen was not surprised to get this answer.
The ring was obviously extraordinary. Last time, his father reminded him not to let anyone know that the ring was in his hand. It was obviously extraordinary.
But at this time, Lord Zhao still refused to talk about Yao's affairs, which made him a little disappointed.
He stood up and said, "Father can no longer rely on Yao Shi for the poison in my body. Can you ask her for me? I'm not afraid of death, but are she and Zhao Heng afraid? Are those Miao people afraid?"
Lord Zhao's expression suddenly changed: "What exactly are you going to do?"
Zhao Shen had already reached the door. Upon hearing his question, he turned around and chuckled, "What my grandfather could do back then, I can do now. My grandfather was able to eliminate the Nanzhao people from the world, and I can eliminate the Miao people from the world."
Ever since he found out that he was poisoned, he has been holding his breath.
Everyone knew that his mother died in childbirth, but no one knew it was caused by a poisonous insect.
He spent so much effort trying to change everything in his previous life.
Obviously everything is moving in the right direction.
He promised Ji Yunshu that he would stay with her forever.
But he was poisoned by an incurable poison.
He has never been a lucky man, so he dare not hold unrealistic hopes.
The moment he knew Ji Yunshu had been kidnapped, he wanted to drag everyone to hell.
Lord Zhao never thought that he would say such words. When did his son, his son who was always as gentle as jade, become like this?
He said in astonishment, "No, you can't do this?"
Zhao Shen laughed out loud. "Why are you so surprised, father? How do you think I've survived all these years? How did I earn the emperor's trust?"
