Chapter 397 Hate the Yao Family
She carefully studied the spices in the sachet and finally shook her head: "This is just an ordinary calming incense. I can't smell the blood you mentioned. Perhaps this is the key to the problem."
Ji Yunshu said, "Zhuoma said that as long as Zhao Shen touches this sachet, he will lose his resistance and be allowed to do whatever he wants. I smelled it for a while and didn't feel anything unusual. What about you?"
Bai Ling also shook his head: "I don't feel anything either, and I'm very sure there are no drugs like muscle softening powder or soul-destroying incense in here."
These are the only drugs that can make people lose their ability to resist.
Ji Yunshu looked at the sachet thoughtfully: "This sachet is specially designed for Zhao Shen. How is he different from us?"
After saying this, the two of them suddenly remembered something and looked at each other.
Finally, Bai Ling spoke up: "It's the poison in the prince's body. Some poisons are attracted by blood, and the blood of the person who raises the poison can trigger the poison to take effect."
So far, no one has been able to cure the poison in Zhao Shen's body. If someone wants to activate the poison in his body, it is not difficult to understand why those people are so sure that this sachet can make Zhao Shen lose his resistance.
Ji Yunshu just felt cold all over.
Seeing that she had no reaction for a long time, Bai Ling could only ask, "Madam, what should we do?"
Ji Yunshu raised his eyes and asked her, "Is this sachet useful?"
Bai Ling shook his head. "This is just ordinary tranquilizing incense mixed with the blood of a Gu breeder. It's of no use in developing an antidote."
Ji Yunshu gritted his teeth and said, "So if this person is still alive, any drop of his blood can threaten the prince?"
Bai Ling also felt that the matter was tricky, but she still nodded sincerely.
At this moment, Ji Yunshu simply hated Yao.
This matter must be related to her. No wonder she went back so quickly. It turned out that she did it to get rid of suspicion.
Thinking of this, Ji Yunshu's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
She handed the sachet to Bai Ling and took a shower and changed into pajamas early.
He also specifically asked Lan Yin to dispose of the clothes she wore today.
As for the house, it was midsummer and the windows were wide open, so any smell would have dissipated long ago.
Ji Yunshu even specially had the house fumigated with mugwort.
It was already late when Zhao Shen came back, and Ji Yunshu was usually asleep by this time.
Today I am still sitting under the lamp reading.
Zhao Shen was a little surprised: "Why aren't you sleeping so late?"
Ji Yunshu complained, "You still know it's late?"
She didn't know where Zhao Shen got so many things to deal with, and she didn't know when he would come back every day.
Zhao Shen sat down next to her: "I've been busy these past few days. Didn't I tell you? Go to sleep if you're tired. No need to wait for me."
Ji Yunshu closed the book in his hand: "I slept during the day, so I'm not sleepy now. I'm waiting for you because of something."
After that, without waiting for Zhao Shen to ask, he told the story of the sachet again, and finally said with some concern: "It's okay here, but if Yao is using your life to restrain father, I'm afraid that father will be in danger?"
If anything happened to Zhao Shen, Lord Zhao would definitely not let Yao go, so her best option was to get rid of both the father and son at the same time.
Zhao Shen said, "I have arranged for someone on my father's side, but the Yao family seems to be cautious. If they suddenly attack, it's hard to say what will happen."
At this point, he suddenly called out, "Chao Qing."
Someone walked in from outside.
Ji Yunshu saw Chao Qing dressed in black, and seemed to be guarding in the dark.
Zhao Shen didn't say anything nonsense and said directly: "You return to the capital now and have someone keep a close eye on Yao's every move. If she dares to act rashly, Zhao Heng will be deposed."
Chao Qing took the order and left.
Ji Yunshu finally breathed a sigh of relief. If something happened to Lord Zhao at this critical moment, it would be a real problem.
But thinking about Zhao Heng's situation, she could understand why Yao Shi lost her patience.
She advised Zhao Shen, "That sachet is definitely related to the Yao family, but if there is no movement from your side, she will probably not easily attack the Marquis."
Zhao Shen smiled at her: "I know, but it's been so long. Although I knew I had the poison, my body didn't react, so I didn't feel anything. Now suddenly this happens..."
He didn't finish, but Ji Yunshu understood.
Even if a person knows that he has a terminal illness, he will still be hopeful as long as his body does not react.
But now, the illusion is shattered.
She didn't know what to say for a moment, and couldn't help but say: "This is just our guess, maybe it's wrong."
Zhao Shen couldn't help but hug her in his arms: "What nonsense are you talking about? Actually, I am very content with the way things are now."
Compared to his previous life, at least his death was not unclear.
Ji Yunshu didn't like him saying that, so she changed the subject, "This isn't necessarily a bad thing. At least we know what's going on with the poison in your body. If no one activates it, it might never take effect."
As she spoke, she poked Zhao Shen's chest with her fingers out of boredom.
Zhao Shen grabbed her restless hands and said, "You're right. Let's deal with the current situation first. Do you think this Zhuoma is trustworthy?"
Ji Yunshu hesitated. "I can't really explain it. It seems like she was targeting me from the beginning. I didn't do anything, but she confessed everything. She also said that the Fifth Prince threatened her with her sister and asked me to help save her sister. It sounded like a trap."
Zhao Shen pondered for a moment and said, "Starting with you is indeed a bit suspicious."
Anyone who knows Zhao Shen knows that he is not easy to deal with, and starting with Ji Yunshu is a good choice.
But this does not mean that there is definitely something wrong with Zhuoma.
After all, there were no loopholes in her statement.
Ji Yunshu said, "Isn't it? I don't even leave the house, so it's not easy to contact me, so she is very suspicious. But she is from the Western Regions, so I can tell that she must have a good family background. Such a person may not be willing to be threatened for the rest of her life. I promised her that I can send her away at any time, and I can also rescue her sister."
Zhao Shen understood what she meant. People with good backgrounds were different from those who were born into slavery.
It is difficult for those who have looked at the world from a high place to bow down forever.
Especially when she had the chance to escape.
"So, you think she's a good fit?"
Ji Yunshu thought for a moment and said, "I think she is very smart."
Smart people never do stupid things.
Zhao Shen said: "Then trust her for once and ask her to help you."
Ji Yunshu was surprised: "Do you believe her?"
She couldn't believe her own eyes, not to mention that Zhao Shen seemed to have only seen Zhuoma once.
I don't know if he has ever looked at people carefully.
Zhao Shen smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. Didn't you say she's a smart person? We can afford to lose, but she can't."
For them, as long as they are alive, nothing else matters.
And it is not easy to take their lives.
But for Zhuoma, she only has one chance, and if she loses, she will die.
If she really had an extraordinary background and had a younger sister in the hands of the fifth prince, then she should be the one who acted with caution.
