Chapter 309: Don’t Worry About What You Shouldn’t Worry About
Yin Shu’s ability was certainly not bad. As soon as they had finished dinner in the evening, the results of the investigation were delivered.
Zhao Shen took a rough look and found it was similar to what he knew, except that he thought there was an elder who was on the side of Southern Xinjiang.
According to Yin Shu's information, this person is from Prince Yong's Mansion.
Seeing Zhao Shen's gaze fixed on him, Yin Shu leaned over to take a look. "Elder Sheli, he has been working for Prince Yong's Mansion for a long time. Even the connection between Zhebie and Prince Yong's Mansion was his doing. However, he is very secretive, not even Zhebie himself knows about it."
Zhao Shen raised his eyes to look at him: "If that's the case, how did you know?"
Yin Shu smiled nonchalantly and said, "You know what I do, the Secret Chamber. Isn't it normal for me to know some secrets that others don't know?"
Zhao Shen threw the paper in his hand into the brazier: "You are very generous this time. You gave me such important news without asking for money."
Yin Shu watched the papers burn to ashes and blinked at Zhao Shen: "You are so heartless! I have helped you so much for free, and you still don't know how good I am to you?"
Zhao Shen glanced at him sideways: "What does your master want?"
The smile on Yin Shu's face froze for a moment: "You may not believe it, but he asked me to cooperate with you fully."
Zhao Shen said calmly, "Why shouldn't I believe it? Lin Huixue and I fought to the death, and he just sat back and reaped the benefits. Now he's even doing me a favor. Of course, he's scheming."
Yin Shu didn't expect him to say it so bluntly. He paused before saying, "Why do you have to say it so harshly, Prince? Whether we are here or not, you will do these things, right?"
Zhao Shen nodded expressionlessly: "You are right, so this elder called Sheli will be handed over to you. I will give you one day to find out what Lin Huixue asked him to do."
Yin Shu: “…”
He was really rude, and these words made Zhao Shen feel justified in ordering him around.
But he couldn't just give up, so he had to get up and continue working. But when he reached the door, he suddenly heard Zhao Shen's cold voice.
"Tell your master not to worry about things that shouldn't be worried about."
Yin Shu turned around and smiled, "Since the prince is so worried, you must keep the person well."
After saying that, he walked away.
Zhao Shen looked at his disappearing back with a cold gaze.
Ji Yunshu went to the place where Qiyun was imprisoned.
For convenience, she had Qiyun locked up in the place where Zhebie had previously locked her up.
It was pitch black inside, and even with the lights on, it still felt eerie.
Qiyun sat curled up against the wall, not knowing what she was thinking.
He looked up when he heard the noise and saw Ji Yunshu seemed surprised.
"Why is it you?"
Ji Yunshu opened the food box he brought in front of her.
"Of course it's me, who do you think it is?"
Qiyun didn't say anything, as if she had been hungry for a long time. She picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
Ji Yunshu looked at her and said, "Before I left, I told them to take good care of you. They should have given you food. Why do you look like a starving ghost?"
Qiyun didn't say anything, and Ji Yunshu didn't care. He sat down not far from her and watched her eat.
Qiyun finished most of the meal before putting down her chopsticks and looking at Ji Yunshu: "Why did you come to see me? Just tell me."
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "I want to ask you, do you want to die or live?"
Qiyun looked directly at Ji Yunshu: "It seems my father finally fell into your hands. How did he die? How did he live?"
Ji Yunshu said, "You are a smart girl, so I won't beat around the bush. What exactly is your father's plan to resurrect the dead?"
Qiyun lowered her eyelashes slightly, hiding the coldness in her eyes, and said lightly: "My father, he is actually very cold to me in private. I don't know much about his affairs."
Ji Yunshu didn't expect her to say it easily: "Your father told me that he picked you up from the mountains and you are not his biological daughter at all, so he doesn't care whether you live or die. Now you want to use your life to help him keep this secret?"
Qiyun laughed: "I knew I wasn't his biological daughter when I was very young, but he was the one who saved me and raised me. Now you want me to betray him, do you think it's possible?"
Ji Yunshu frowned, she found that she was really not suitable for doing this kind of thing.
"He's in my hands now. That plan is doomed to fail. Even if you tell me, it won't be considered betrayal."
"Since Madam has determined that my father's plan poses no threat to you, why are you asking so many questions?"
Ji Yunshu couldn't explain it either. Actually, she wanted to ask about the poison in Zhao Shen's body, but for some reason, she was always thinking about Zhebie's plan to resurrect his wife.
Although Zhebie was a bit weird, he really knew some things.
This made Ji Yunshu feel very uneasy.
"Your life and your daughter's life are now in my hands. I have plenty of time. Miss Qiyun, the days ahead will not be easy."
When Ji Yunshu walked outside, she saw Zhao Shen waiting for her.
He went up to her and asked, "Why did you come out?"
Zhao Shen looked back at the prison: "Did Zhebie lock you up here before?"
Ji Yunshu nodded: "He was just locked up. He didn't do anything to me. It was just a little darker and quieter in there, which was perfect for sleeping. So I slept soundly for a few days and didn't feel uncomfortable."
Zhao Shen laughed and said, "It's amazing that you can still sleep at that time."
"I know he doesn't dare to do anything to me, so I sleep peacefully."
Zhao Shen looked down at her: "Do you blame me?"
Ji Yunshu asked curiously, "Why do you blame me?"
"I blame myself for not coming to save you."
Zhao Shen's expression was somewhat gloomy.
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "Didn't I promise you when I came here that I wouldn't be a burden to you? Ji Qian has always been by my side. He can guarantee my safety. And as long as you are well, no one will dare to touch me. It is because of you that I have been safe and sound."
Zhao Shen held her in his arms: "I really hope you never have to go through this."
Ji Yunshu leaned in his arms, listening to his heartbeat, feeling at ease: "I'm already very grateful that you don't mind me running around and causing gossip."
She knew that her identity was not suitable for running around, and in the eyes of outsiders, she would be seen as restless.
Just these few times of being arrested would be enough to ruin her reputation if those people in the capital knew about it.
But Zhao Shen didn't care. He was always worried about her safety.
Zhao Shen said, "You've helped me a lot. If you hadn't found out about the poison, those people would have appeared on the battlefield and caught our men off guard. We might have lost this battle."
Ji Yunshu laughed and said, "That's not an exaggeration. I've seen people transformed by poison before. They're just a little more powerful than ordinary people, not truly invincible. The imperial army will not be defeated."
Zhao Shen shook his head: "The ones you're fighting here are specially trained secret guards, so naturally you can't see much difference. Soldiers on the battlefield are not that powerful."
Ji Yunshu wasn't too clear about what was happening on the battlefield. "Okay, don't praise me, I just happened to run into this. The question now is, how do we deal with the Yuxi tribe?"
