Chapter 368: No Miracle Doctor
Talking about business, Wujina stopped arguing with her about whether to go out and bask in the sun.
Leaning lazily against the pillar of the pavilion, he asked, "Did you make my Third Brother's legs?"
Ji Yunshu looked confused: "What are you talking about? He didn't fall on his own?"
Wu Jina curled her lips. "Although the people who followed him said that he fell because he was eager to save people, I know that his kung fu is very good. Even if he fell accidentally, he would be able to avoid the vital parts. It is impossible for him to fall so seriously."
Ji Yunshu also knew that people who practiced martial arts had strong control over their bodies and would not easily get injured by falls. Even if they did fall, they could still control the force.
Seeing that Lan Ting knew it, he fell off the cliff holding Xiao Yue, but no vital injuries were sustained.
Ji Yunshu even suspected that the minor injuries were just a show and a self-torture trick.
But she didn't know what exactly happened, and how could she admit such a thing?
She blinked her eyes, looked at Wujina sincerely, and said, "Didn't they say it was an accident? Perhaps something else happened at the time that made the Third Prince unable to take care of himself. What did he say?"
Given the Third Prince's temper, if he had noticed anything, he would have made a fuss long ago. Now two days have passed and there is still no movement. It is obvious that the matter has passed.
She didn't believe what Wujina could say.
As expected, Wu Jina sneered: "He is just a fool. He plotted against others but failed and got plotted against himself. He can only get angry at the doctor."
Ji Yunshu asked curiously, "Is his leg really incurable?"
Wujina looked at her teasingly. "Most of the doctors who treated him were from Daxia. How could you not know what was going on?"
Ji Yunshu shook his head: "I'm fine, I don't have any illness, where can I see a doctor? They won't spread the news about the Third Prince's illness casually."
Wujina would never believe her, but she didn't dwell on it. She just asked, "I heard that your husband's leg was broken for ten years, but it was healed and he can still move freely. Who was that doctor?"
In the past few days, the people of Mobei have approached Zhao Shen several times for this matter, but Zhao Shen always said that the doctor was an itinerant doctor with an uncertain whereabouts, and he didn't know where he was.
But she knew what Wujina really wanted to ask, so she winked at her and said with a smile, "I'll tell you a secret."
Wujina unconsciously leaned closer to her: "What secret?"
Ji Yunshu lowered her voice and said, "Actually, my husband's legs were fine to begin with. The idea of accidentally encountering a miracle doctor is all a lie."
In fact, this is also the version that the public believes. After Zhao Shen's leg was healed, some people talked about it. If someone could cure a leg that had been disabled for ten years, he must be a god, not a miracle doctor.
So Wujina accepted her statement without any hindrance: "So there is no miracle healer at all?"
Ji Yunshu nodded: "If it is true, he couldn't have only treated Zhao Shen's leg. How come no one has ever heard of it before?"
Regardless of whether the third prince's leg can be cured, once Yichen shows up, there will be countless troubles in the future.
Anyway, the young Taoist priest was not very interested in practicing medicine now, so he was just hidden.
Wujina felt that what she said made sense. She didn't want the Third Prince's leg to get better anyway, so she smiled and said, "Thank you, Madam, for telling me."
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "We've eliminated a competitor without any bloodshed. Congratulations, Princess."
Wujina smiled brightly. "Thank you very much. I heard that the girl who was in trouble that day was saved by a guard and is going to marry that guard. Does that mean the person chosen for the marriage will have to change?"
Ji Yunshu looked at her: "Are you really planning to marry?"
Wujina played with her braids that hung down her chest and said nonchalantly, "My father wanted my third brother to marry the princess of Daxia, but he wasn't happy about it. I don't know why he schemed against that girl before, but he definitely wasn't sincere in his request. But now that his leg is broken, maybe he'll be willing to listen to my father."
Ji Yunshu understood that the fact that the King of Mobei wanted the third prince to marry the princess of Daxia showed that he had no intention of passing the throne to the third prince. However, he had a powerful maternal family and naturally would not give in easily.
But the situation is different now. As a disabled prince, he naturally has no right of inheritance. If marrying a princess of Daxia can please the King of Mobei and reassure the future heir, then why not do it?
Ji Yunshu felt that the Third Prince was too fussy. Look at the Fifth Prince, dragging his half-dead body, still struggling to fight for that position. What was a broken leg?
Anyway, the King of Mobei had never thought of passing the throne to him. From the very beginning, he was destined to use special means to ascend to the throne.
These thoughts flashed through her mind, but she said, "That's really troublesome. There aren't many suitable royal daughters in Daxia who can marry the Third Prince."
There are actually quite a few members of the Daxia royal family, but the difficulty lies in finding the right one.
Upon hearing this, Wu Rina smiled slyly and said, "I heard that there's a girl from Prince Yong's Mansion here this time, named Xiao Ting. She doesn't seem to be engaged yet. Isn't that suitable?"
Ji Yunshu said very frankly: "You should know her situation. The emperor is worried."
Wujina was very puzzled and asked, "Will His Majesty be relieved if he marries her to one of you Daxia people? In my opinion, he should just marry them together and save himself the trouble."
Ji Yunshu has also changed his mind now. Prince Yong's Mansion must be guarded against at all costs, and it will also be troublesome if Xiao Ting marries someone else.
Although I don't want Prince Yong to achieve his goal, it doesn't really matter.
Prince Yong's collusion with Mobei would later become evidence of his treason.
Thinking about this, she was too lazy to beat around the bush with Wujina anymore: "This is not a big deal. The emperor will make the decision. Princess, can you tell me now? The envoy from Mobei has been here for so long but is not in a hurry to discuss business. What is he planning?"
Seeing Ji Yunshu staring at her motionlessly, Wu Rina knew that she would not tolerate her lying. After a moment's thought, she said, "Before I left, my father told me that I should just have fun on this diplomatic mission. If there's a man from Great Xia I like, I can marry him. As for the rest, I'll take care of it, my Third and Fifth Princes. I don't need to worry about it."
Ji Yun felt that the King of Mobei had some skill in playing the role of a father who doted on his daughter.
Look how considerate that is.
She laughed, "But I don't think the princess can really be completely clueless."
To put it bluntly, Wujina came here to ask for help.
She must have sensed danger to do this.
Wujina took a deep breath and said, "If it weren't for my father forcing my mother and me into a desperate situation, I would never have said what I said next, because it might mean that I betrayed my father."
Ji Yunshu could understand her dilemma. To give an inappropriate example, Prince Yong colluded with Mobei and must have felt that he had no other choice.
This kind of thing is a matter of opinion, Ji Yunshu will not comment on it.
She simply said to Wu Jina, "There's actually a very simple truth in this world: the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. If you win, this is just a stepping stone to your success. If you lose, even if you do nothing, you'll still be splashed with dirty water."
