Chapter 263: The human heart is unpredictable
Zhao Shen saw that Ji Yunshu had figured it out and said with a smile, "Don't be nervous. After all these troubles, those people finally revealed their true purpose. This saves us from guessing all the time."
Ji Yunshu said, "If this matter isn't handled properly, there's a possibility of war breaking out. Miaojiang is no match for Daxia. What are they trying to achieve?"
The current situation can only be achieved with the cooperation of the people in southern Xinjiang.
Ji Yunshu really couldn't understand, what benefits would it bring to the people of Southern Xinjiang if they got involved in these things?
Zhao Shen said, "There are many reasons. Some want to restore their country, some want power, and some want to take advantage of the situation. As long as they can achieve their goals, there is nothing they won't do."
Ji Yunshu didn't know what to say anymore: "It's true that prosperity and decline are all caused by the suffering of the people."
If those people had considered the common people, they would not have started a war lightly.
Zhao Shen rubbed her forehead and said, "Don't worry, it won't be that easy to start a fight. Ever since the poison appeared in the capital, the emperor has been eyeing southern Xinjiang."
Ji Yunshu's eyes lit up: "Do you have any plans?"
Zhao Shen said: "Get ready to attend the Lu family's banquet, don't worry about other things for now."
Knowing that the imperial court had made preparations for the Southern Xinjiang incident, Ji Yunshu was no longer so worried. However, she still told Qiyun about the disappearance of the elders from Southern Xinjiang who were coming to the capital.
Qiyun obviously knew nothing about this and asked in surprise, "How could the elder be so powerful and disappear?"
Ji Yunshu shrugged: "How should I know? Maybe they don't want to come at all."
Qiyun angrily said, "You're talking nonsense! Our elders are upright and honest. It wasn't us who poisoned the emperor, so why would they not dare to come?"
Ji Yunshu laughed and said, "What's the point of you telling me this? The fact is that they've disappeared, and you keep insisting that the poison in the emperor wasn't yours, but besides you Miao people, who else would poison someone?"
Qiyun was speechless after hearing what she said. After a long while, she stammered, "It's... a traitor."
Ji Yunshu had actually anticipated that the current situation in Southern Xinjiang was definitely due to the disunity among the people.
Those people used poison to harm people in the capital, which obviously violated the Miao people's own tribal rules.
"What kind of traitor?"
Qiyun is now alone in the Marquis' Mansion, with no one to talk to. She has also gotten to know Ji Yunshu a little over the past few days and knows that she really has no ill will towards her.
After a moment's thought, he said, "This isn't really a secret. When Nanzhao was destroyed, the royal family survived, but it also gave the other two major clans the opportunity to rise. The three major clans kept each other in check, which allowed for years of stability. But at some point, someone, under the guise of restoring the nation, won over the people and colluded with outsiders. By the time my father discovered it, it was too late."
At this point, Qiyun's expression darkened. "So I must get the divine ring back before those people do."
Ji Yunshu asked curiously, "What is the use of that ring? And don't you want to restore your country?"
"I really can't say that. Nanzhao had already disappeared when I was born. Actually, I think life in the village is pretty good. My father also said that there are too few people in southern Xinjiang and it's impossible to defeat Daxia."
Ji Yunshu sighed. Everyone has different ideas. Some people want to live a stable life, while others want to fight for power and profit.
"Whose idea was it that you kidnapped me before?"
Seeing Qiyun was a little embarrassed, she gently persuaded her, "I haven't been hurt at all. You know that women in Daxia place great importance on reputation. He asked you to do this, and it's obvious that he has no ill will towards me. I'm just curious, and I won't do anything to him."
Qiyun thought for a moment and said, "Actually, he's just a scholar. I met him on my way to Beijing. He helped me a lot."
After hearing what she said, Ji Yunshu had a rough idea in his mind: "Is that so? I heard you say that he is your savior. You like him, right?"
Qiyun blushed, but still said, "He's very good to me. Don't you Daxia people say that a life-saving favor should be repaid with one's body? Shouldn't I like him?"
Ji Yunshu rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Of course."
At this point, Qiyun asked shyly, "Can I go out and see him?"
Ji Yunshu observed her shy expression for a moment before saying, "Actually, the Emperor only wants you to stay in the Marquis' Mansion to ensure your safety in the capital. If you want to go out, just bring some people with you."
"Really?" Qiyun asked happily.
She still knew some rules. Ever since the emperor told her to stay in the marquis's mansion, she acquiesced to being under house arrest there, staying there obediently and never leaving.
Ji Yunshu nodded: "Those traitors you mentioned may also be in the capital. If they knew that you cured the emperor of the poison, they might harm you, so be careful."
Qiyun happily agreed and left happily.
Lan Yin couldn't help but sigh: "This is the first time I've seen such a simple girl. I don't know how her family can let her out without worrying about it."
Ji Yunshu looked at the direction the person left and smiled, "Of course, they made sure she could save her life, or they made sufficient arrangements."
"You mean, she doesn't look like this?"
Lan Yin couldn't believe it. Qiyun had been in the house for a few days. In her eyes, she was just a simple and lovely girl.
Ji Yunshu shook his head: "People's hearts are hard to predict, who knows?"
"Will you just let her out?"
Ji Yunshu said, "I originally thought that with the arrival of the people from Southern Xinjiang, the poison issue would finally be resolved. Now it seems that they don't even have the courage to come to the capital. We can only start with this little girl. What's the point of locking her up? We have to see what she is going to do."
After a while, the people below brought the letter back, and Qiyun went to Cuihua Tower.
Ji Yunshu stood up and said, "Let's go and take a look."
When they arrived, a great show was being staged in Cuihua Building.
Qiyun tugged at Lin Huixue's sleeve and refused to let go: "You saved my life, and I said I would be devoted to you."
Lin Huixue wanted to pull back his sleeve, but Qiyun refused to let go. The two of them were pulling and tugging at each other, which was inappropriate, so he said helplessly: "Miss, it was just a small effort, not worth anything."
Qiyun said unhappily, "I don't care. You told me at the time that you were not married, and I decided on you."
"But I'm getting engaged now."
The imperial examination was over, and Lin Huixue was about to get engaged to Cen Xi as agreed beforehand.
As he spoke, he looked for help at Cen Xi, who was standing aside without saying a word, as if watching the fun.
Cen Xi didn't even look at him, but raised an eyebrow at Ji Yunshu who had just arrived and said, "You came at the perfect time."
Ji Yunshu smiled at her. The two of them didn't say anything else, but they had a perfect understanding.
Qiyun saw Ji Yunshu coming and let go of her hand: "Madam, why are you here?"
Ji Yunshu said, "I was bored at home. You know, I have a good relationship with Miss Cen, so I asked her to come and chat with me."
After she finished speaking, she deliberately glanced at Lin Huixue, then turned to Qiyun and smiled, "I won't delay you any longer, continue."
