Chapter 259: Hot Potato
She had heard that the emperor of Daxia had many women. What if he didn't understand her words, lost control, and had health problems, and then blamed the Miao people for it?
Ji Yunshu suppressed a smile and said, "You are right. The emperor must have understood. And he didn't lose his temper, which means the poison has been cured. Let Lan Yin take you out to play."
Qiyun was visiting the palace for the first time and was very curious: "Can I just wander around?"
She had so quickly cured the emperor of the poison that the empress dowager no longer had any prejudice against her. She ordered those around her, "Take this young lady for a stroll in the garden. Don't let anyone disturb her."
After she left, Ji Yunshu said happily, "The emperor's poison has been cured. Auntie can rest assured now."
The Queen Mother looked at her with doting eyes: "Since you got married, several disasters in the palace have been resolved because of you. You are my lucky star."
Ji Yunshu hugged the Queen Mother and acted coquettishly: "As long as my aunt is well, I will be happy to do anything."
When she first came, she felt deep down that these were all paper people.
But the love and support from the Queen Mother and the father and son of the Ji family gave her the confidence to change everything.
Now, she has sincerely accepted these family members and is willing to do her best to ensure their survival.
The Queen Mother said, "If you are like this, I can't bear to let you leave the palace."
Ji Yunshu immediately said, "Then I will stay in the palace with my aunt for a few days."
Anyway, ever since she was kidnapped this time, Zhao Shen has added more people to her side, and it seems that he will not let her go out easily.
Although the mansion is calm now, whether it is Yao, Wei Yuanmin, or Yao Ruolan, they are all ready to take action.
Now Qiyun has revealed such a huge bomb in the Marquis' Mansion.
The emperor might not pursue the matter out of Zhao Shen's favor, and might even help cover it up.
But now, no one knows how many people are watching Zhao Shen. If this evidence, which is enough to confiscate his property and exterminate his clan, falls into the hands of the enemy, the emperor may not be able to protect the Marquis's mansion.
Thinking of this, Ji Yunshu felt a headache.
The Queen Mother scolded, "You're already married, yet you still talk like a child. It's obvious that the prince indulges you. I'm relieved that you're doing well."
Ji Yunshu was dissatisfied: "Aunt, don't you like me to accompany you?"
The Queen Mother took her hand and said with a smile, "You are lazy and unsuitable for the palace. Otherwise, why would I marry you out of the palace? Now that everything is fine with you, I am relieved. The Emperor and I will take care of the palace affairs. You don't have to worry about it."
When Ji Yunshu heard this, she knew the Queen Mother had a plan in mind, and nodded, "Aunt, don't worry about me. Zhao Shen treats me very well, and the Marquis' Mansion is simple and quiet. Everything is fine with me now."
At this point, the Queen Mother expressed some concern: "I've seen it. Zhao Shen is indeed a good child, but the poison in him..."
She was not an ignorant woman who knew nothing. Although Nanzhao had been destroyed when she was young and Miaojiang had been silent for many years, with little news reaching her ears, she knew very well what the Miaojiang poison was like.
Because the emperor was poisoned these days, she specifically consulted the imperial physician, so she did not hold out hope that the poison that Zhao Shen had brought with him from his mother's womb could be cured.
The one who will detoxify the emperor today is the daughter of the chief of the Yuxi tribe, one of the three major Miao tribes. She has been studying poison since she was a child and is a leader of her generation. If even she can't detoxify the poison, who else in the world can?
Ji Yunshu held the Queen Mother's hand and smiled, "Don't worry, Auntie. He has survived for more than 20 years. He won't die in the future. There will definitely be a way."
I don't know if it was to comfort the Queen Mother or to comfort herself, but she said this with extraordinary firmness.
Seeing her expression, the Queen Mother said nothing more. She simply handed her a small token and said, "I know your father and brother must have left some people for you, but it never hurts to have more people at your disposal. This is the secret guard your grandfather gave me when I got married. If you need anything, just tell them."
Ji Yunshu looked at the exquisite token in her palm, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart. She returned the token to the Queen Mother and said, "Aunt, I have enough people at my disposal, but you, on the other hand, must protect yourself."
The Queen Mother stuffed the token back into her hand and said, "Aunt is in the palace, under heavy guard. What could possibly happen? As for the open and covert attacks in the palace, they can't stop them. These people have been loyal to the Ji family for generations. You can use them with confidence."
Seeing that the Queen Mother was determined to do so, Ji Yunshu accepted the token.
The two chatted for a while before Ji Yunshu said goodbye and left the palace.
On the carriage back home, Zhao Shen was unusually silent.
Ji Yunshu knew that he had confessed his grandfather's affairs to the emperor, so he asked, "What did the emperor say?"
Zhao Shen said expressionlessly, "The Emperor told me to find a way to erase this matter and not let anyone know."
This was just as Ji Yunshu had expected. Whether it was for the sake of his relationship with Zhao Shen or the current situation, the emperor would not allow him to hold on to this matter.
"Have you figured out what to do?"
The problem now is that someone already knows about this.
Although the Yao family did not dare to perish together with the enemy, the situation in Miaojiang was hard to say.
Zhao Shen understood her concerns and said with a smile, "I still have what they want. I won't act rashly until I get the ring."
Ji Yunshu asked curiously, "Do you know what the ring is used for?"
Zhao Shen shook his head: "I have already sent people to southern Xinjiang, and there will be news soon."
"Then Qiyun, what are you going to do?"
Ji Yunshu felt that the emperor was also a scheming person.
He was inexplicably poisoned, and now Qiyun has cured him of the poison. He might be targeted by someone. Instead of keeping the person in the palace to protect him, he handed him over to Zhao Shen.
This girl's identity is not simple. If something happens to Zhao Shen, he will not be able to explain it when people from southern Xinjiang come.
Not to mention that she was obviously instructed to kidnap him.
This is a hot potato.
Zhao Shen said, "She's a nuisance, but if used well, she's also an excellent bait. Let's keep her in the mansion and see if anyone takes the bait."
Ji Yunshu became interested after hearing this and whispered to Zhao Shen, "Cen Xi told me that she ran into Lin Huixue and met a woman. Do you think it could be Qiyun?"
"Do you suspect that the person who ordered her to kidnap you was Lin Huixue?"
Zhao Shen never thought that this matter had anything to do with Lin Huixue.
With Cen Xi watching over her, Lin Huixue was very well behaved and didn't show any abnormality. He also had a lot of things to do, so he didn't pay too much attention to this person.
"It's just a thought, without any basis. I only know that Qiyun has a lover who saved her life. This incident was most likely instigated by this person. Of course, it's also possible that he just instigated her."
Qiyun, that silly little girl, would probably believe it if someone told her that they could get the ring back from Zhao Shen by kidnapping her.
Zhao Shen nodded. "She's not the kind of person who's so cunning as to kidnap you quietly. This must be someone behind the scenes planning this. It seems their goal is to transfer me away from the capital."
