Chapter 360: Stay in Daxia
Wujina was so excited that she refused to let go: "Let's go now. The enclosure is on the mountain, so it's not as hot as outside."
Ji Yunshu thought that in order to protect her, Zhao Shen arranged a lot of people around her when she went out this time.
Besides, she thought that Wujina would not do anything to her blatantly, so she agreed.
The two men headed straight for the paddock and then rode into the mountains.
The roads in the mountains were difficult to travel. Wujina complained to Ji Yunshu, "Our grasslands are endless, so hunting is much easier. Unlike here, the small animals will run away at the slightest movement."
Ji Yunshu walked slowly behind her. She didn't think that the princess had dragged her here just to go hunting.
But Wu Jina didn't mention it, and she didn't ask. She smiled and replied, "As for prey, it's more interesting to find it slowly."
Wujina looked back at her and said, "That's what you said."
The two wandered around in the forest for over an hour before coming across a stream. Ji Yunshu said, "Let's rest here for a while and get something to eat."
She only had one meal in the morning and a few snacks at the Empress Dowager's place, and did not eat lunch.
It's almost evening now.
Wujina was also hungry, so she nodded and jumped off her horse and said, "Okay."
She gathered up her kill: "Shall we have pheasant or rabbit?"
It was a hot day and Ji Yunshu didn't want to eat greasy food.
She pointed to the river in front of her and said, "Let's catch some fish and make some soup."
Wujina had no objection and asked the guards beside her to catch the fish.
Her guard was very skilled and quickly caught two big and fat fish. He also cleaned them in the river before bringing them back.
Lu Ru's riding skills were not very good, so she did not follow.
Ji Yunshu had no choice but to do it himself.
Wujina, holding her chin, watched her skillfully make the soup and suddenly said, "Aren't you going to ask me why I asked you to come out?"
Ji Yunshu added a few more sticks of firewood to the bottom of the pot. Looking at the milky white fish soup bubbling in the pot, he said nonchalantly, "The princess will speak naturally when she wants to."
Wu Jina smelled the rich aroma of fish soup in the air and smiled, "You are really patient. I hadn't decided whether to tell you before I came here, but since you cooked soup for me, I will tell you."
Ji Yunshu raised his eyes to look at her.
Wujina said, "What I just said about wanting to be the Queen of Mobei is true. My mother is the princess of the largest tribe in Mobei. Without her support, my father would never have been able to ascend the throne. I am her only daughter, so I am the most qualified to inherit the throne."
Ji Yunshu heard something in her words. It seemed that the King of Mobei did not want this most noble daughter to inherit the throne.
Therefore, the rumor that the King of Mobei dotes on his daughter very much is probably false.
Or maybe the King of Mobei really doted on her, but he just wanted to spoil her.
Being innocent and kind is not really a good quality for a princess who is qualified to inherit the throne.
But why did the princess tell her this?
As if understanding her doubts, Wujina continued, "You may not know that due to the influence of my mother's clan, my father did not dare to directly propose me for marriage, but my third brother has a mission this time, which is to ensure that I stay in Daxia."
There was even a smile on her face when she spoke, but the last sentence made Ji Yunshu's heart tremble for no reason.
"Stay in Daxia?"
Wujina curled her lips and said sarcastically, "Regardless of life or death."
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but sigh. It was said that people from Mobei were born in a bitter and cold place, and they were straightforward and straightforward in their actions, and were not good at conspiracies and intrigues.
But now it seems that the struggle for power among the upper echelons of Mobei is no less fierce than that of Daxia.
The cruelty and brutality among them are even worse than that of Daxia.
"Why are you telling me this?"
She still didn't understand. She and Wujina had only met a few times, and she didn't think she was special enough to make her so frank with her.
Not to mention that the Ji family is a great enemy of Mobei.
They should have been enemies.
Wujina looked at her and said, "I want you to help me leave Daxia."
Ji Yunshu's surprise flashed across her mind, and she smiled faintly, "Princess, you think too highly of me. I'm just a woman from the inner chambers, and I can't do anything big."
Wu Jina shook her head and said, "No, as long as you are willing, I believe you can do it. Otherwise, why do you think I would choose you among so many people in Da Xia?"
Ji Yunshu was indeed puzzled. Why would the princess tell her these things?
I was also wondering in my heart whether what she said was true or false?
Wujina said, "The men of Daxia use all kinds of rules to restrain women. This can't be done, that is against the rules, and they ruin good people. But when I learned about what you did in Suzhou, I knew you were different."
Ji Yunshu served them both soup, which contained wild vegetables and mushrooms she had picked from the mountains. It tasted very delicious.
She took a sip of her soup before saying, "I'm no different. I'm just lucky. I met a father and brother who never restrict me, and a husband who is willing to indulge me."
Wujina also took a sip of the soup and praised, "Your cooking skills are really good. The royal palace in Mobei also hired chefs from your Daxia, but the dishes they made are never as delicious as yours."
After that, she continued, "It's not that you're lucky, it's that you're decisive. Otherwise, you would have married the Second Young Master Zhao, who is probably not much better than that so-called Princess Huimin."
This time, Ji Yunshu believed that she really knew everything about him.
She even knew clearly that she was supposed to marry Zhao Heng and Zhao Heng's current situation.
It seems that the people of Mobei have placed a lot of people in the capital, which is why they are so well-informed.
"Even if I have that ability, why should I help you?"
She admitted that she had a good impression of the princess, but the matter was of great importance and she could not help her just based on such a small impression.
Seeing that she had finally relented, Wujina smiled with relief: "Because helping me is helping yourself. My third brother is brave and murderous. If he inherits the throne, he will definitely invade the south. As for the fifth brother..."
At this point, she paused and said, "Although I don't have any evidence, I can tell you that it was him who colluded with you Daxia people in Suzhou."
Regarding the Suzhou incident, the Emperor and Zhao Shen had of course investigated the situation in Mobei.
But firstly, there were too many tribes scattered across the grasslands of Mobei, making them difficult to investigate; secondly, the other party was very clean.
So no results were found.
When Ji Yunshu learned that the fifth prince was the one who came to power, he also knew that it was him who colluded with Prince Yong.
But there is no way to judge whether the two people colluded later or had been in cahoots for a long time.
Now the answer was right in front of her.
"I remember that the fifth prince was of humble origin, without the support of his maternal clan, and therefore not qualified to inherit the throne."
The people of Mobei really valued bloodlines. In their eyes, children born to slave women were slaves.
Moreover, unlike Daxia, the King of Mobei does not have the final say in Mobei, especially when it comes to the succession to the throne. Without the support of a strong tribe, it is impossible to ascend to the throne.
