Chapter 319 I Don't Trust You
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could my father be colluding with people from Southern Xinjiang?"
Ji Yunshu retorted.
However, she soon realized that if her father really colluded with the people of southern Xinjiang, he might not leave any evidence, but if he was framed, there would definitely be solid evidence.
She was furious and could not help but sneer, "You framed a loyal minister and a good general, and acted so despicably. If you succeed, then it would be a true delusion of fate."
Seeing that she understood immediately without waiting for explanation, Lin Huixue smiled and said, "Madam is a smart person. You should understand the principle that the winners are kings and the losers are bandits. The winners will naturally justify their actions. Who cares about the truth?"
Ji Yunshu felt that talking to such a person was a waste of words. She turned to look at Zhao Shen, who squeezed her hand soothingly before saying to Lin Huixue, "How do I know whether what you said is true or not? Even if I let you go, won't you still frame General Ji?"
Lin Huixue said, "I may not have many other advantages, but I am absolutely trustworthy. I can help Lu Ying gather such a large group of people, so I naturally have other ways to link this matter to General Ji. I have been planning in Southern Xinjiang for a long time, and the prince should know that I have more than just these tricks."
Ji Yunshu sneered: "If that's the case, you can just hide behind the scenes and wait for the outcome. Why did you come here to seek death?"
Lin Huixue smiled bitterly, "I thought I had the upper hand and was sure to hit the target, but who knew I was still one step behind. Compared to everything else, my life is naturally more important."
Ji Yunshu thought about what he had seen and heard since coming to Southern Xinjiang. The sudden outbreak of war had caused great suffering to the people. In addition to the soldiers on both sides, countless civilians died in the war. Their peaceful and happy life was destroyed.
And now, the culprit of all this is right in front of us.
Ji Yunshu was unwilling to let such a person go no matter what.
But she couldn't ignore the safety of her father or even the entire Ji family.
This dilemma made Ji Yunshu feel particularly tormented.
Zhao Shen knew what she was thinking by looking at her expression. He held her hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to my father-in-law."
When Lin Huixue heard this, a smile appeared on her lips.
He knew that people like Zhao Shen seemed cold and heartless, but in fact, as long as he found his weakness, he could be easily controlled.
He smiled and said, "It seems that I didn't lose completely this round."
Unexpectedly, the next moment, his smile froze on his face.
Ji Yunshu raised his hand, and a hidden arrow flew out from under his sleeve and pierced his heart. He dodged quickly, but his shoulder blade was still cut.
Ji Yunshu said coldly, "I hate seeing villains succeed. Although I can't kill you right now, there are many ways in this world to make people's lives worse than death. Master Lin, you don't think I really can't do anything to you, right?"
Lin Huixue lowered his head to check the wound and immediately noticed something unusual. The person following him also picked up the hidden arrow. In the firelight, the tip of the arrow flashed a faint purple light.
"You poisoned the arrows?"
Ji Yunshu felt a little better. "Yes, I don't trust you. If you leave unscathed, how can I know you will keep your promise?"
Lin Huixue's face finally turned gloomy. He dared to come because he was sure that he could leave safely no matter what.
He knew Zhao Shen and knew that he would never do such a thing as poisoning someone in front of them.
But Ji Yunshu did it, and he couldn't say anything.
Lin Huixue sneered, "Madam, aren't you afraid of damaging your reputation by acting this way?"
Ji Yunshu said nonchalantly, "To deal with a despicable person like you, do I need to worry about any other means? If you have the nerve to spread the news, I don't mind letting the world know what you did."
When she discovered that Lin Huixue always liked to wear white clothes, she realized that this person did all kinds of bad things and still liked to pretend to be cool and clean.
Lin Huixue seemed to be brought back to his original form by Ji Yunshu's words. He said with embarrassment, "I am despicable? In such a quagmire, who wouldn't use all means? Is Zhao Shen a good person?"
Ji Yunshu said without hesitation: "He may not be a good person, but everything he does has a clear conscience. What about you?"
Isn’t the reason why Lin Huixue is so contradictory because what he does conflicts with his values?
Not everyone in this world can be a traitor with a clear conscience.
It would be fine if the current emperor was incompetent, but he is not. At least so far, everything he has done is impeccable.
This not only makes it more difficult for these people to usurp the throne, but also makes it impossible for them to deceive themselves that everything they do is for the people of the world.
Lin Huixue looked directly at Ji Yunshu and laughed, "In the final analysis, we each serve our own masters. Prince Zhao wouldn't necessarily do any better than me if he were in my position. I admit defeat today, and Madam, there's no need to be complacent. The outcome remains uncertain."
After saying this, he took his men away.
Zhao Shen ordered to make way.
After he left, Ji Yunshu turned to Zhao Shen and said, "Tell the emperor that I was the one who let him go. The emperor shouldn't make things difficult for you."
She let the man go for her father's sake. Even if the emperor was angry, he should be able to understand.
She believed that the emperor did not want to see evidence of the Ji family colluding with the rebellion in southern Xinjiang appear in the court.
But Zhao Shen is different. The emperor trusts him and believes that no matter what happens, he will put the emperor's instructions first.
Although letting Lin Huixue go was ultimately for the sake of the court, it was ultimately mixed with personal feelings.
It is hard to say how the emperor will ultimately understand it.
When she took the initiative, Zhao Shen knew that she was doing it for him. Hearing her say this, he smiled happily and said, "Don't worry, the emperor is not someone who can't tell right from wrong."
Ji Yunshu had no hope for this, but she knew in her heart that she dared to do this because she relied on the fact that the emperor would not do anything to her.
"Okay, should we go back?"
Zhao Shen glanced at the sky, which was already turning pale. "The mountain should be done. Don't you want to go take a look?"
Ji Yunshu was still quite worried about Lu Ying: "Then let's go and take a look."
There must be a result.
Without Lin Huixue's interference, things would be much simpler.
The few of them turned and headed up the mountain.
Yin Shu couldn't help but ask Ji Yunshu, "What kind of poison did you give Lin Huixue? He has great doctors around him, many of whom are skilled in poison techniques. It might be possible to cure it."
Ji Yunshu didn't ask how he knew so much about the people around Lin Huixue. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, he definitely can't cure my poison."
That was a poison specially made by Yichen, and no one could possibly antidote it.
Moreover, Ji Yunshu didn't think that the poison could control Lin Huixue.
It's just to make him suffer a little.
Zhao Shen must have other ways to prevent him from acting rashly again.
Yin Shu didn't expect Zhao Shen to be so indulgent towards Ji Yunshu. In such matters, Ji Yunshu actually had the final say.
For a moment, my thoughts were a little complicated.
The few of them did not walk fast. When they reached the outskirts of the village on the mountain, they saw corpses lying all over the ground.
Ji Yunshu frowned: "It seems that many people died."
