Chapter 364: Xiao Yue Disappears
Ji Yunshu was a little surprised: "What did she say?"
Xiao Ting is a bit arrogant, but she is not the kind of person who speaks without restraint. How could she offend Xiao Yue so easily?
What's in it for her?
"What else can she say? It's nothing more than something like I'm going to Mobei to marry. The emperor hasn't even issued an order for me to go, but she's talking nonsense. Who does she think she is?"
Ji Yunshu thought about Xiao Ting's intention in doing this. After thinking about it, there seemed to be only one reason, that is, the relationship between the Lin'an County Prince's Mansion and the emperor.
Although the subject must die if the king wants him to, it is really difficult for the Prince of Lin'an to send his only daughter to marry a foreign prince.
If you don't say it, how can you not have any grudges in your heart?
She frowned and asked, "You didn't fight back?"
Xiao Yue's high spirits turned negative: "The Emperor has already meant this, how can I fight back?"
Ji Yunshu sneered, "Silly! She's also a member of the royal family of the right age. How do you know that the marriage will fall on you and not her?"
Xiao Yue seemed to have never thought of this possibility before. As if she had suddenly gained wisdom, she clapped her hands and said, "Yes, why didn't I think of it? She could also go to marry."
But after a moment of joy, she considered the reality and lowered her voice, "Uncle Yong has been in Yongzhou for so many years. Is the emperor worried about her going to marry?"
Ji Yunshu guessed that she didn't know about the affairs of Prince Yong's Mansion, so he didn't say much. He comforted her, "The Emperor has his own considerations. Anyway, you are not the Emperor's only candidate for marriage. It hasn't even been decided whether it will happen, so don't worry."
Xiao Yue shrugged and said, "You don't have to worry about me doing something I shouldn't do. I've figured it out. It doesn't matter who I marry. Even if they ask me to marry a foreign prince, that's my fate. I've lived a life of luxury for the first half of my life, which is already a good life."
If a marriage alliance is necessary, then it should be the price she pays for being born into a good family.
Seeing that she seemed to be in danger, Ji Yunshu stopped talking and patted her shoulder, saying, "Let's not talk about these boring things. Let's go hunting. I was here once yesterday and there are quite a few small animals."
Xiao Yue asked, "I heard you came here with Princess Mobei yesterday. What's she like?"
Ji Yunshu led two horses out and handed the more obedient one to Zhao Xuan before saying, "That's good. Her goal is to become the queen of Mobei. She has much more potential than us."
Xiao Yue said with a complicated expression, "They don't prohibit women from ascending to the throne in Mobei, but they haven't had a queen in a long time. Not to mention that the King of Mobei has so many princes. I don't think that third prince is a pushover."
Ji Yunshu said, "Anyway, it's their Mobei business, it has nothing to do with us."
Xiao Yue rode a reddish-brown pony into the woods. "It's not completely irrelevant, but we women don't need to worry about it."
Ji Yunshu suspected that her words were a bit sarcastic, but it was not a good idea to discuss this with her.
"Whatever you want, let's go hunting. Let's make a deal: the loser has to promise the winner something."
Xiao Yue raised her chin and said confidently, "My riding and archery skills are very impressive. On the other hand, you grew up in the palace, but you are not necessarily better than me."
With that, he flicked his whip and ran out.
Ji Yunshu looked at her back, shook his head and smiled.
I just thought this girl had grown up, but now this is the result?
Zhao Xuan followed Ji Yunshu, carefully controlling her horse.
Although she had learned it, she was not proficient after all. It was her first time in the enclosure, so she was inevitably nervous and even more uneasy.
"Sister-in-law, I'm not very good at riding and shooting, so I'll just walk slowly. You made a bet with Miss Xiao, so go first."
Ji Yunshu shook his head and said, "I'm already married, how can I still argue with a girl in the boudoir? Let her run away for a while."
Zhao Xuan didn't expect her to say that, and said with some envy, "Sister-in-law and Miss Xiao have such a good relationship."
I used to hear that the two would quarrel over something if they disagreed, but now it seems that they really don’t have that intention.
She saw clearly that both Xiao Yue's dependence on her sister-in-law and her sister-in-law's love for Xiao Yue were sincere.
The relationship between these two people must be really good.
Ji Yunshu laughed and said, "This can be considered as a kind of affection that came from quarreling. She is actually a simple-minded girl."
Zhao Xuan couldn't help but ask, "Will she really marry into a foreign alliance?"
Ji Yunshu naturally wouldn't talk about this kind of thing casually. He shook his head and said, "I'm not too sure either. Of course, matters like this are decided by the Emperor and the officials in the court."
Zhao Xuan said embarrassedly, "I asked too many questions."
Ji Yunshu felt that she was too reserved, so she said, "If you don't know, then ask. It's a good habit. I'm your sister-in-law, how can I find fault with you?"
The two chatted as they walked around in the forest. Ji Yunshu was a good archer and had brought back quite a few prey when he came out.
But when she came out, it was already late, and she didn't expect Xiao Yue hadn't come out yet.
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but ask the people around him if anyone had seen Xiao Yue.
Unexpectedly, everyone who had been to the mountain said they had never seen it, so she felt something was wrong.
He quickly asked the guards to find someone.
Soon, the Prince of Lin'an, Xiao Yu, was alarmed. He asked Ji Yunshu what happened, and then led his men into the mountains without saying a word.
Ji Yunshu's eyes swept over everyone present, finally landing on Xiao Ting.
There was a strange look in Xiao Ting's eyes. When she saw Ji Yunshu looking at her, she put away the smile on her lips.
He pretended to be worried and said, "Oh, Sister Yue is good at riding and shooting, so she should be fine, right?"
Ji Yunshu nodded randomly and said nothing.
Although this is an enclosure, the emperor has mobilized the imperial guards to ensure everyone's safety.
But when we really get into the mountains, these people can't take care of us.
Xiao Yue has people with her, and their martial arts skills are not low, so it is not easy to plot against her.
She thought that Xiao Ting would not attack Xiao Yue just because of a few words.
But when she looked at Xiao Ting, she always felt uneasy.
Zhao Shen also rushed over soon. Seeing that Ji Yunshu was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked about Xiao Yue's disappearance.
Ji Yunshu told him the whole process. Actually, there was nothing much to say. They separated after entering the mountain.
She had no idea what was going on with Xiao Yue.
But after she finished speaking, she suddenly leaned close to Zhao Shen's ear and said, "Although there is no evidence, I suspect Xiao Ting."
Zhao Shen frowned and asked, "You said that since arriving in Beijing, Xiao Ting has been actively trying to get close to Xiao Yue and even deliberately bullying her with her words?"
Ji Yunshu nodded: "I also find it very strange. Although Xiao Ting is an arrogant person, she is not stupid. Why would she cause trouble for herself for no reason?"
After all, Xiao Yue is the daughter of the Prince of Lin'an. You know, in the capital, the Prince of Lin'an is definitely more powerful than Prince Yong.
If she didn't like Xiao Yue, she could just ignore her, but it would be a bit too much to provoke her.
So she was more inclined to believe that Xiao Ting did this to achieve some purpose.
