Chapter 310: Zhebie was rescued
Zhao Shen said, "Don't worry, I've already made arrangements. As long as we make public the fact that Zhebie used his tribe members to refine Gu, he will no longer be popular. We can find someone who has no connections with any party and is relatively clean to be the tribe leader to stabilize the situation."
Ji Yunshu sighed, "It's not that easy. Zhebie is definitely not the only one colluding with Lin Huixue."
Zhao Shen rubbed her head and said, "It's not that difficult. We just need to deal with Lin Huixue."
He said it lightly, but Ji Yunshu didn't think Lin Huixue was someone who could be easily dealt with.
But as the culprit who caused the war in southern Xinjiang, they will inevitably face this person.
Knowing that Zhao Shen knew what was going on, Ji Yunshu didn't want to talk about it anymore, so she talked about the matter that weighed on her mind: "Do you know why Zhebie arrested me?"
"Not to lure me here?"
Ji Yunshu curled the corners of her mouth. She actually didn't want to tell Zhao Shen about this, but Zhebie was in Zhao Shen's hands now, and he would know sooner or later.
More importantly, she felt that Zhebie, who could see that Prince Yong was destined to be a true dragon, would not be defeated so easily. He must have other cards in his hand.
If Zhao Shen didn't know this, he might be careless and give him an opportunity to take advantage of.
She briefly recounted how Zhebie wanted to use her body and Zhao Shen's blood to resurrect his wife.
"Resurrecting someone who has been dead for over a decade, isn't that just a fantasy?"
Zhao Shen was a little surprised, but seeing Ji Yunshu's worry, he couldn't help but ask, "Do you think what he said is true?"
Ji Yunshu hesitated and said, "I don't know. He said he went to King Yong because he knew that King Yong had the destiny of a true dragon, and we are people who should not exist."
Zhao Shen understood what Ji Yunshu meant and was silent for a moment: "Are you worried that he hasn't given up his plan to resurrect his wife?"
Ji Yunshu nodded. "Based on the few times I've met him, he seems a little mentally unstable. Resurrecting his wife has become his obsession. To accomplish this, he even collaborated with Prince Yong, provoking a war and luring us here. How could he not have planned everything carefully?"
Zhao Shen stroked her brow with his fingertips: "I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I will have someone investigate thoroughly."
Ji Yunshu nodded: "And Qiyun, I always feel that she should know something, but she refuses to say it."
Zhao Shen took her hand and walked towards the room that Bai Ling and Yin Ye had temporarily cleaned up: "Leave everything to me, you go back and have a good rest."
Ji Yunshu was indeed a little tired. Although she had slept for a while when she was imprisoned in the ancient tomb, she was still on guard and did not sleep very soundly.
Zhao Shen sent her back to her room and left. Bai Ling saw this and said while making the bed, "The prince seems to be in a bad mood."
Ji Yunshu paused holding the teacup: "Really?"
Yin Ye said, "With so many things going on, isn't it normal to be in a bad mood?"
Bai Ling really wanted to ask why the prince would be in a bad mood because of so many things?
However, when she saw Yin Ye winking at her, she didn't say anything else.
Yin Ye said, "Master has been exhausted these days. Rest first. The prince will come back naturally after he finishes his work."
Ji Yunshu was indeed sleepy and fell asleep soon after lying down.
Zhao Shen came back in the middle of the night. Although he had showered and washed himself, he could smell the strong smell of blood on Ji Yunshu as soon as he got close to him.
She was startled and quickly pulled Zhao Shen's clothes: "Where are you injured? Is it serious?"
Zhao Shen pulled her into his arms and said, "I'm fine. This is someone else's blood."
His voice was filled with weariness, and his head rested on Ji Yunshu's neck, showing an indescribable fragility.
Ji Yunshu swallowed the question she wanted to ask, hugged him back and whispered, "I'm glad you're okay."
Zhao Shen didn't say anything, just hugged her quietly. After a while, he said, "Zhebie was rescued."
Ji Yunshu was stunned for a moment. She knew very well that after knowing her worries, the first thing Zhao Shen would do was to examine Zhebie.
It is not easy to save people from his hands.
More importantly, even if Zhebie was rescued, Zhao Shen wouldn't have to do this.
"What did he do? Or what did he say to you?"
Ji Yunshu thought for a moment and asked.
Zhao Shen's body froze for a moment, then he quickly said, "Nothing, I accidentally had someone rescue him."
Although Ji Yunshu didn't want to force him, she felt that some things were better explained.
She asked Zhao Shen to raise his head, held his face with both hands, looked him straight in the eye and said, "You have never been a careless person. Did he say something about me? You can ask me anything you want to know."
Zhao Shen was looked at by her clear gaze, and he felt that everything he wanted to hide was revealed.
He spoke with some difficulty: "He said that you don't belong to this world. Your arrival has changed destiny, and it will inevitably..."
"What will happen?" Ji Yunshu laughed. "You know exactly what will happen if everything continues as planned. We will all die. Is there a worse outcome than that?"
Zhao Shen didn't seem to expect her to say that: "But..."
Ji Yunshu interrupted him directly, "There's no such thing as a but. If what he calls destiny really exists, then aren't our appearances also destiny? Could it be that the success of traitorous officials and the innocent deaths of loyal officials and generals are in accordance with destiny?"
Zhao Shen looked at her in shock, speechless. After a long while, he said, "You're right. I'm obsessed."
Ji Yunshu added, "He didn't just say that. What can really shake your mind is my business."
Zhao Shen paused, but since Ji Yunshu had been so frank, he didn't back down any further: "He said your soul came from somewhere else..."
"Are you scared?"
For Zhao Shen, this was like a lonely ghost occupying someone else's body, which was quite creepy.
Zhao Shen shook his head: "I know that the person who married me that night was you, that's enough."
Seeing his serious expression, Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "It's actually not that scary. I do come from another place. I stayed up late reading a storybook, and when I opened my eyes, I found myself becoming the person in the storybook."
"Storybook?"
Zhao Shen was a little dazed.
Ji Yunshu rarely saw such an expression on his face. She nodded in appreciation and said, "Yes, it's a storybook. The protagonists are Zhao Heng and Yao Ruolan. They love each other but can't be together, so they torment each other. As someone who stands between them, I will naturally not have a good death."
Zhao Shen understood: "No wonder you caught the adulterer red-handed."
At that time, Ji Yunshu had just married into the Zhao family, and she might not know who the Zhao family was. How could she have found Yao Ruolan's yard so accurately?
Ji Yunshu covered his face. "That's not the point. The point is, this is just a storybook. There's no such thing as destiny. If we don't try our best to change, the end will be death. So you don't have to listen to Zhebie's nonsense."
When Zhao Shen heard her say this, the indescribable fear in his heart dissipated.
But he still asked worriedly: "Then, will you leave?"
