Chapter 362: No One Can Tolerate
Zhao Shen laughed. "I'm saying this based on my judgment of the current situation and people. Setting up a fortune-telling stall, the people who come are strangers. I'm not really good at fortune-telling, so what should I say?"
Ji Yunshu leaned over the other side of the table, chin in hand. "I'm just praising you for being awesome, aren't I? The struggles between the princes and princesses of Mobei are already out in the open. I think this is an opportunity, so I agreed to her request. You won't disagree, will you?"
Zhao Shen smiled and said, "You've already agreed, and now you remember to ask me if I agree?"
Ji Yunshu said, "I think we rarely disagree, and this time should be no different. Given Mobei's situation, choosing someone to support will allow them to fight for a little longer. Wu Rina is a good choice, and she came to me on her own initiative, so I have no reason to refuse."
Zhao Shen smiled when he heard her say that they rarely disagreed. After she finished speaking, he said directly, "You're absolutely right."
Seeing his brows relax, Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "She also told me about the Third Prince's plan. She probably wants you to have something happen with her, which will not only destroy our relationship but also keep Wujina here."
The smile on Zhao Shen's face faded. "That's a good plan. It doesn't seem like something the Third Prince would have come up with."
Ji Yunshu nodded. "Wurina said it must have been the Fifth Prince's idea. Honestly, no one would have guessed that the King of Mobei was so intent on supporting the Fifth Prince's ascension to the throne."
Zhao Shen recalled that in his previous life, it was indeed the Fifth Prince who became the successor to the King of Mobei. He thought that the Fifth Prince was very clever and defeated all those brothers and sisters, but he didn't expect that it was the work of the King of Mobei.
"What's so special about the Fifth Prince?"
This doesn't make any sense at all.
Ji Yunshu said listlessly, "Does having a mother who died young and was deeply loved by the King of Mobei count?"
That's how destructive Bai Yueguang was who died early.
Zhao Shen nodded. "The King of Mobei has kept this matter well hidden. Few people in Mobei know about it, at least the Third Prince certainly doesn't know. How did Princess Wujina know about it?"
Ji Yunshu said, "She didn't say it and I didn't ask, but I think she wasn't lying."
Zhao Shen stroked the ring on his finger. "If that's the case, there's a lot that can be done. The tribal leaders and nobles in Mobei wouldn't want to recognize the son of a slave girl as their master."
Ji Yunshu really didn't want to use someone's background to attack the other person, but when she thought about how the prince had already set his sights on her, she didn't have any objections.
For people like them, the only difference between means is whether they are useful or useless; whether they follow morality or not is really unimportant.
She couldn't help but ask Zhao Shen, "Do you know how the King of Mobei died? I always thought it was the Fifth Prince's plan to take the throne, but now it seems he didn't have to."
The King of Mobei is the only one who supports the Fifth Prince to ascend to the throne. Killing him will not benefit the Fifth Prince.
Zhao Shen shook his head. "I don't know either. The King of Mobei died very suddenly. The news of his death came out suddenly, along with the news of the Fifth Prince ascending to the throne and the invasion of the south."
Ji Yunshu: "I know this. They say that the King of Mobei was killed by us, and they sent troops to seek revenge."
Zhao Shen frowned and said, "The specific reason is that the Queen colluded with us to murder the King of Mobei, and he used this opportunity to eliminate the Queen and Princess Wujina's family."
"It's really insidious."
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but say this. Of course, she was just talking. She knew very well that in a political struggle of this level, winning was enough, and no one cared how ugly the means were.
Zhao Shen said, "This statement is not necessarily completely groundless. The Queen and Princess Wujina must have done something."
Ji Yunshu defended himself, "Even if he did something, it's understandable."
The queen was born into a noble family and her family fully supported him in ascending to the throne, but he wanted to give the fruits of victory to the child born to a slave girl. No one could tolerate this.
The Queen of Mobei did not kill the King of Mobei directly, which shows that she is kind-hearted.
Zhao Shen: "...In Mobei, murdering one's own husband is a serious crime, not to mention that the person they murdered was the ruler of an entire country."
"Killing someone is a serious crime no matter where you are."
Ji Yunshu muttered.
She felt that there was something else behind Zhao Shen's words.
Zhao Shen was helpless: "Okay, but this time, for some reason, Queen Mobei and Princess Wujina knew about King Mobei's plan in advance. I'm afraid it won't be so easy for the Fifth Prince to succeed."
Ji Yunshu nodded: "Now is not the time to worry about these things. The Third Prince's plan to eliminate Wu Rina will probably be put on the agenda soon. Are we just going to wait like this?"
Zhao Shen said, "If the opportunity arises, we can give him a push. However, while the Third Prince is easily fooled, the Fifth Prince might not be. Although the Third Prince and Princess Wujina are his biggest rivals in ascending the throne, if anything were to happen to them, who knows who would benefit."
The King of Mobei has many sons, and any one of them has a better chance than the fifth prince.
Ji Yunshu nodded: "Then we'll wait and see. If there's a chance, we'll give it a push. If not, we'll wait and see what they plan to do. We should start negotiations with Mobei, right? What do they say?"
"What else can I say? They say they hope the princess will marry, but neither the Third Prince nor the Fifth Prince has ever said they want to marry the princess. The Fifth Prince always looks like he's going to die at any moment, and he always emphasizes that he's of humble origin and has no status in Mobei. Even if the officials at the court are unrefined, they can't let him marry the princess."
Ji Yunshu was amused. This was a blatant conspiracy. "It sounds like this Fifth Prince is truly extraordinary."
Zhao Shen said, "That's right. Compared to him, the Third Prince is like a brainless man. He was manipulated by him. The King of Mobei arranged for these two to go on a diplomatic mission to Daxia together. It can be said that he had good intentions."
Letting one son serve as a stepping stone for another son shows what kind of person the King of Mobei is.
Ji Yunshu wasn't interested in such a scumbag: "Should we remind the Third Prince?"
Zhao Shen shook his head: "Do you think Wujina won't find a way to let him know? But it won't be of much use. Everything he does now is in his own interests."
Ji Yunshu waved his hand: "It's really troublesome. Let him do whatever he wants. We just need to know what he wants to do specifically."
She doesn't want the other party's conspiracy to succeed.
It is not easy to find a husband as chaste as Zhao Shen. Unless she doesn't want him, she will never allow anyone to get involved.
Zhao Shen held her hand and said, "Well, this is our territory after all, and we already have the upper hand. I won't let them plot against me. We can take this opportunity to plot against him."
Ji Yunshu: "Pushing a woman to him? That's inappropriate, isn't it?"
She didn't want any innocent woman to be harmed.
Women in Daxia are generally weak, and if they marry to Mobei, they really have no chance of survival.
Zhao Shen knew her concerns and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't implicate the innocent."
Some people are not innocent, so it doesn't matter if they are implicated.
