Chapter 32 Another Chance Encounter
Zhao Shen shook his head: "I'll let Shen Qin bring people to protect you."
Seeing that he still didn't intend to say anything to her, Ji Yunshu felt a little annoyed, but she still said, "Manager Shen, isn't it a waste of talent for you to protect me? Although Lu Ru and Lan Yin are not very skilled, Bai Ling and Yin Ye are both military veterans. My brother gave them to me when he got married. They will have no problem protecting me."
Seeing Zhao Shen frown and trying to persuade him, Ji Yunshu continued, "I'm just a woman. I have the Queen Mother, the Marquis of Wu'an, and the Marquis of Changxing behind me. Who would be so desperate as to harm me? If there really is such a person, then having Shen Qin would be useless, right?"
With someone of her status, most people wouldn't easily make a move, but once she made up her mind, it would be a fight to the death.
How useful can Shen Qin be alone?
Zhao Shen had to admit that what she said made sense, so he could only remind her: "Then you must be careful. If anything happens, send me a message."
After that, he taught her several ways to pass messages.
Ji Yunshu didn't know why Zhao Shen felt that it would be dangerous for him to go out, but he nodded in agreement.
On the second day, Ji Yunshu got up early, which was rare for him. After breakfast, he took a carriage to the Yuquan Mountain that Zhao Shen mentioned.
She would rather walk than take a carriage, but walking is too slow and more than ten miles is too far.
So I secretly put learning horse riding on my agenda.
The original body actually knows how to ride a horse. With the physical memory, it should not be difficult to learn.
It is impossible for her to stay in the backyard without going out, so it is necessary for her to learn how to ride a horse.
Zhao Shen sat in a wheelchair and watched the carriage leave with a gloomy expression.
Shen Qin couldn't figure out why Ji Yunshu went to Taiqing Temple. He asked puzzledly, "What reason did you use to convince Madam to go to Taiqing Temple?"
Is this what the prince said he would find for his wife?
Transferring people away is indeed a convenient way.
Zhao Shen said indifferently, "I didn't say anything. She wanted to go on her own."
"Ah, Madam, what are you doing at Taiqing Temple?"
That's where Taoists gather.
Taoist priests are men after all, right?
"She said she wanted to find a Taoist priest who could make elixirs."
Shen Qin: "Madam, are you not feeling well?"
I didn't notice.
Zhao Shen said impatiently: "She is fine and doesn't want to take the pills."
Shen Qin looked at him and saw that he was in a low mood. He asked curiously, "Why are you unhappy, my lord? You wanted to find something for your wife to do so that she wouldn't have time to care about you. So your wife left on her own. Isn't that a good thing?"
Zhao Shen glanced at him dimly, then turned his wheelchair and went back.
Shen Qin looked at his lonely back and realized belatedly that it might be that the lady had not told the prince what he was going to do at Taiqing Temple?
Thinking back to what had just happened, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case.
I couldn't help but wonder, this couple is really strange, they don't seem to have a bad relationship, but they each do their own thing and don't interfere with each other.
It is understandable that the prince did not tell his wife what he was going to do because it was dangerous, but why did his wife not tell the prince what she was going to do?
If Ji Yunshu knew his doubts, he would definitely tell him confidently for the sake of fairness.
She knew that she should tell Zhao Shen what she wanted the Taoist alchemist to do.
But I still have no idea and don’t know if there will be any results.
Secondly, why?
Since Zhao Shen likes to keep things to himself, he doesn't talk about or ask about his own affairs.
Then why did she rush to tell him everything?
Ji Yunshu didn't realize that she was actually holding back some anger. The scenery along the way to Yuquan Mountain was beautiful. She admired the scenery and slowly put these things behind her.
Seeing some small animals in the forest, she excitedly told Yin Ye: "Go and hunt some rabbits or pheasants along the way. We can roast them for lunch."
It wasn't as hot in the mountains as outside, so Ji Yunshu thought it would be nice to have a barbecue outdoors.
Yin Ye grew up in the north. Maybe because she is mixed-race, she has a tall stature, deep eyebrows, and brown pupils. She looks particularly beautiful under the sun.
She was used to being wild. Ever since she came to the girl's side, she was either in the palace or in the marquis's mansion, which was just like being in prison.
Now that he finally got to go out, he was naturally happy. When he heard Ji Yunshu's instructions, he immediately smiled and said, "Okay."
As he said this, he rode away on his horse.
Bai Ling had no choice but to call out to her, "We still have to protect the Madam, don't run too far."
The road in the mountains was difficult to travel on, but Ji Yunshu was not in a hurry and asked the driver to slow down.
Anyway, it’s good enough as long as I can get to Taiqing Temple today.
Lu Ru also poked her head out to look outside. After a while, she pointed to a river not far away and said excitedly, "Madam, look, that's the Yuquan River. It flows down from the mountains. I heard the fish there are very delicious. You can't find them anywhere else except here."
Lan Yin said unhappily, "You only think about food."
Lu Ru made a face at her: "If you don't miss it, don't eat it for a while."
Seeing the two joking and playing, Ji Yunshu also laughed and said, "Then let's catch a few more fish and grill them together."
At noon, they indeed had a barbecue in the woods.
Yin Ye shot a few rabbits and pheasants and caught some fish.
The sachet that Lu Ru carries with her carries various seasonings. The ingredients are fresh, and Lu Ru's cooking skills are good, so the roasted meat is particularly fragrant.
Ji Yunshu's index finger twitched, and he said regretfully, "It's a pity there's no wine."
As soon as the words fell, a voice rang out from a distance: "Madam, you want to drink, what's the problem?"
Ji Yunshu turned around and saw a carriage coming over at some point, with a little girl sticking her head out of it to look at her.
It turned out to be Lu Ningshuang, the eldest daughter of the Lu family, whom I met on the road yesterday.
She asked in surprise, "Ms. Lu?"
Lu Ningshuang was helped down from the carriage by her maid, and then she took out a jar of wine from the carriage and shook it at Ji Yunshu, "It seems we are destined to meet. We left the city together for the farm yesterday, and we met again today."
Ji Yunshu asked in surprise, "Why is Miss Lu here?"
Lu Ningshuang came over to her, holding the wine jar. The maid brought a cushion and placed it beside Ji Yunshu. She sat down and said, "My mother hasn't been feeling well these days, so she came to the manor to recuperate. I remembered that people say the talismans at Taiqing Temple are very effective, so I came to get one for her."
"I see."
Ji Yunshu said nothing about her familiar behavior.
Lu Ningshuang asked, "What is the wife of the Crown Prince doing here?"
She glanced around as she spoke, "Didn't Prince Zhao come with you?"
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "He didn't come because of his inconvenient legs and feet. I also heard that the talismans here are very effective, so I wanted to get some for my family."
Lu Ningshuang regretted her gaffe and said, "Look at what I'm asking. Madam's father and brother are both military commanders, and the prince is disabled. Naturally, you're here to pray for your family's safety."
Ji Yunshu nodded nonchalantly.
Lu Ningshuang said generously, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Meeting is fate. How about I trade some wine for your barbecue?"
As she spoke, she opened the bottle of wine, and the mellow aroma of wine wafted out.
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but say, "Good wine."
She has been here for so long, and the only alcohol she has access to is fruit wine for the women.
There is not much alcohol taste at all, and the taste is sweet, similar to modern drinks.
The jar in front of me is indeed genuine wine.
Lu Ningshuang blinked her eyes and said proudly, "Of course, this is a fine wine that my father has been hiding for many years. I spent a lot of effort to steal it."
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but wonder, is this the style of the famous talented woman in the capital?
She didn't believe that these consecutive encounters were coincidences.
But what did the daughter of the prime minister want to achieve by coming near her?
