Chapter 266: Can You Be Trusted?
"What did you do?"
Upon hearing this, Qiyun no longer cared about chatting with Ji Yunshu and asked in surprise.
Although the situation in Daxia did not seem to be very stable, she knew better than anyone that southern Xinjiang could not withstand the war.
Ji Yunshu said, "You know better than me what the people behind the scenes want to do. If I were you, I wouldn't continue wasting time."
Qiyun hesitated: "But I don't know if you can be trusted?"
Ji Yunshu shook his head: "When you cooperated with those people to kidnap me, you should have made your choice."
Qiyun took a deep breath and said, "You are more powerful than I thought. I didn't make the choice myself, but I had no choice left. I actually escaped from the tribe."
Ji Yunshu suddenly looked at her.
She thought something might have happened in southern Xinjiang, but she didn't expect things to have reached this point.
Qiyun, the daughter of the Yuxi tribe leader, escaped. Then, who is in charge of southern Xinjiang now?
"what happened?"
Qiyun said, "Your Majesty, even your husband wasn't the first person in the capital to be poisoned."
Ji Yunshu nodded: "It's my mother-in-law, Madam Shen."
"According to common sense, the poison would have killed someone if it had entered their body. Madam Shen should have died, but your husband has the blood of the royal family of Southern Xinjiang, the purest one, so he survived."
"At that time, my father realized that there was a traitor in the clan, but that person was hiding too deeply and could not be caught."
"Wait, speaking of this bloodline, why would your princess marry the enemy who destroyed her country? You don't seem to have any objection to this matter."
This matter is now a huge bombshell for the Marquis' Mansion. Obviously, someone has already grasped this handle and is ready to deal with Zhao Shen.
She always wants to get to the bottom of what happened before she explodes.
Qiyun thought about it and realized there was nothing to hide. "I heard it from my father. Back then, Marquis Changxing was ordered to attack Southern Xinjiang. When he was trying to sneak into Jiuli City, he was poisoned. It was the princess who saved him, and they fell in love. The princess accidentally revealed to him the distribution of the troop defenders, which he used as a breakthrough point to break through Jiuli. When Marquis Changxing led his men into the palace, the princess realized that her lover was the one who destroyed Nanzhao, and she had unwittingly become an accomplice. She was so angry that she almost committed suicide."
At this point, she sighed a little: "Who would have thought that the Marquis of Changxing actually loved the princess? He did everything he could to have someone rescue the princess, and even let the princess live and marry him in exchange for sparing the royal family. The princess agreed, and that's how the Yuxi tribe came into being."
Didn't Ji Yunshu expect this to be a love story? He was listening to the bloody plot of destroying your country with gusto. When he saw her finish her words in just a few sentences, he came to his senses: "So, not only do you, the Yuxi tribe, not hate the Marquis of Changxing, but you are actually quite grateful to him?"
Qiyun said, "My father said that the war was started by us Southern Xinjiang people ourselves. The Great Xia Emperor selected the Marquis of Changxing to quell the rebellion. He kept the army under control and didn't kill innocent people. If it hadn't been him, it would have been someone else. If it had been someone else, our casualties would have been even greater."
"Your father is quite sensible, but some people don't think so, right?"
Otherwise, he would not have colluded with King Yong's men and caused trouble everywhere.
Qiyun nodded. "The people of the other tribes believed that it was the princess who leaked the secret, which led to the fall of Jiuli City. They resented the princess and the Marquis of Changxing, so when they learned that someone was planning to harm the people of the Marquis of Changxing's mansion, they offered the poison."
Mrs. Shen was killed in this way.
"That was over 20 years ago. Why have those people been silent for so many years?"
Qiyun said: "Because we Miao people cannot attack those who hold the sacred objects, but after so many years, those people are too
They couldn't wait for your husband to die, so they wanted to collude with outsiders to kill him."
It turns out that there is another reason for Zhao Shen's death.
Ji Yunshu understood: "You really can't cure the poison in his body?"
Qiyun shook her head: "I wasn't lying to you that day. Even if the high priest was here, there's nothing he can do. In fact, it's a miracle that he's still alive."
Ji Yunshu's heart sank at these words. She forced herself to remain calm and asked, "Tell me what happened in Southern Xinjiang and how you escaped."
"My father discovered that someone was colluding with outsiders and secretly plotting to restore the country, so he secretly had someone send me out. But not long after I left the village, I met that Lin Huixue. He... is a very scary person."
Ji Yunshu laughed and said, "I can see that you are very afraid of him. What did he do?"
Qiyun shrank back. "I tried everything to get rid of him, but he made everyone who was secretly protecting me disappear. Our acquaintance really originated from him saving me, so I pretended to like him, but he probably saw through it all the time. I told him I came to the capital to retrieve the sacred object that fell into the hands of the Marquis of Changxing, so he proposed kidnapping you. I thought this was a good opportunity for me to get in touch with the people in the Marquis of Changxing's mansion, so I did it."
She smiled bitterly and said, "I know my limitations. I never thought I could succeed, but I never expected it to happen. I've been observing you for a few days, so I know how many people follow you. That's why I'm even more wary of him."
She knew that it was not an easy task to successfully kidnap a marquis's wife in the capital, especially someone like Ji Yunshu.
But Lin Huixue made things extremely easy.
She simply used a carriage to pick up Ji Yunshu without arousing anyone's suspicion.
"Of course, your husband found you quickly, and it seems you didn't suffer any loss. To be honest, I still don't understand why he went through all this trouble."
Ji Yunshu knew that this was a test from Lin Huixue, and also an attempt to divert Zhao Shen's attention.
Of course, there is no need to tell Qiyun this.
"Now, tell me why you came to the capital? To seek help?"
Qiyun sighed, "I originally came here to ask for help, but when I arrived in the capital, I discovered that your Great Xia isn't peaceful either. Even the Emperor could be poisoned while living in the palace. And there are people like Lin Huixue, who's constantly watching all of you. I don't know what they're planning to do. It's all terrifying to see."
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "You don't have to be so pessimistic. People like Lin Huixue are only capable of playing some low-profile conspiracies in the dark. Didn't you cure the emperor's poison? As long as he's fine, Daxia will be stable."
Speaking of this, Qiyun frowned even more tightly: "I can still be cured of the poison, but the emperor's body may not be able to withstand the torture."
Ji Yunshu's face darkened. "Are you saying that there are people around the emperor who can poison him at any time?"
Qiyun covered her mouth and said, "I didn't say that."
Ji Yunshu sneered: "You still want to protect her, do you really not care about the life and death of your people?"
