Chapter 398 Playing a Show
Ji Yunshu felt a little emotional. Zhao Shen looked like a very calm person, but most of the time he acted with the interest of a gambler.
Whether going to Suzhou or to southern Xinjiang, he was not really planning everything, and perhaps he had considered the worst outcome.
"What do you want her to do?"
Zhao Shen said: "Let her carry out the task assigned to her by the Fifth Prince."
After a while, Ji Yunshu finally reacted: "Are you trying to turn the tables?"
Zhao Shen nodded: "Only in this way can we figure out what they really want to do?"
Ji Yunshu also had some doubts. He originally thought that the King of Mobei was going to make some move, and the Fifth Prince just needed to delay time and make them believe that Mobei was sincerely seeking peace.
But now it is clearly not the case.
The fifth prince was hiding in the dark, but it was obvious that he was about to cause trouble.
"There are only a few people from Prince Yong's Mansion in the capital right now. Is it time to force the emperor to abdicate? Is there any movement from Xiao Kun?"
The more Ji Yunshu thought about it, the more strange it seemed. Why did Prince Yong's Mansion cooperate with the people of Mobei to cause so much trouble?
What purpose can the people of Mobei achieve?
Zhao Shen smiled mysteriously. "Who knows? Maybe the people in Prince Yong's Mansion thought this would be a good way to catch them off guard. After Xiao Xun and Xiao Ting arrived in Beijing, Xiao Kun stayed indoors. I guess he's under control."
Ji Yunshu didn't think Xiao Xun could control Xiao Kun at all, but it was understandable that Xiao Kun didn't want to get involved in these things, so it was understandable that he just watched the fire from the other side of the river.
"Forget it, thinking about this makes my head hurt. Let Zhuoma take action first. Then do we have to continue the show?"
She is familiar with this job.
Zhao Shen saw her eager to try and said helplessly, "If they're trying to sow discord between us, then I suspect the poison won't last long. At least by the time you see me, I should be fine."
Ji Yunshu said, "I know. Let's have a fight. I'll get angry and run away from home, giving them a chance to kill me."
Zhao Shen: "...You can go to the Queen Mother for support. It's safe around the Queen Mother."
Ji Yunshu: "Won't you give them a chance to capture me?"
Zhao Shen shook his head: "Aren't you going to Mobei with Wujina? This is a chance to escape. There's no need to play along with them."
Even if it was just a show, he didn't want Ji Yunshu to be in any danger, so he didn't want her to fall into the hands of the enemy.
Ji Yunshu didn't know what he was thinking, but he felt that what he said made sense.
"Okay, I can also spend some time with my aunt."
The Queen Mother's security is top-notch, so there's no need to worry about safety.
The food, clothing and other necessities are all the best, and he doesn't have to do anything. Ji Yunshu actually quite likes the kind of life where someone loves and protects him and he can lie down and relax.
Zhao Shen inexplicably understood what she meant and sighed, "Thank you for your hard work in marrying me."
Ji Yunshu actually didn't feel it was hard, and everything was done as she wished.
Although she sometimes wants to live a lazy life, she is actually very restless.
"What are you talking about? I'm living a good life now. I just go to my aunt's house occasionally and spend a few days there. I feel very relaxed. In fact, if I hadn't married you, I would not be thinking about how to enjoy myself, but how to save my life."
In the book, Mobei will soon invade the south, and her entire family will be doomed.
Ji Yunshu has certainly worked hard to change the plot to this point, but the person who made the biggest contribution is Zhao Shen.
Zhao Shencai has the ability to change the court.
If she were to do many things herself, it would take a lot of effort.
Zhao Shen thought for a moment and said, "Although Zhao Heng is gone, those people might have other schemes. I've already sent a letter to my father-in-law, asking him to be extremely careful. I've also reminded my eldest brother to be mindful of the people around him."
As long as he is not betrayed or assassinated by those around him, he believes that even if Mobei invades the south, the Ji family father and son will be able to deal with it.
Ji Yunshu was very grateful to him: "Thank you."
Zhao Shen ruffled her hair and said, "Why are you being so polite to me? They are your father and brother, and they are also my father and brother. Moreover, this is a matter concerning the safety of Daxia. How can we take it lightly?"
The two of them discussed it, and the next day Ji Yunshu went to find Zhuoma.
Zhuoma was very surprised when she heard her request: "Do you believe me?"
They had only met a few times, and she herself did not expect those words to gain Ji Yunshu's trust.
Ji Yunshu said, "It's not that I believe you, but I don't think you'll be someone who lets others boss you around forever, so I'm willing to give you a chance. If you can do it, I'll be free to do whatever you want, and I'll help you rescue your sister. If you can't, I won't lose anything. As long as you feel you can handle the consequences, that's fine."
Ji Yunshu felt that someone like Zhuoma, who had lived to this day, would not easily seek death.
Not to mention that she has people she cares about.
After a long moment, Zhuoma stared at Ji Yunshu with a determined gaze and said, "You swear that no matter what happens to me, you will help me rescue my sister and let her live an ordinary life."
Ji Yunshu nodded: "As long as you don't betray me, I will definitely rescue your sister regardless of success or failure."
Zhuoma seemed to be completely relieved. She took out a small seal from her purse and handed it to Ji Yunshu solemnly.
Ji Yunshu had seen a lot of good things in the past year, and his appreciation ability had increased dramatically. He could tell at a glance that the seal was made of extraordinary material.
But even so, I was still shocked when I got it.
"This is……"
She couldn't believe her eyes.
Zhuoma said calmly: "This is King Huotu's private seal, and it is the only thing that can prove my identity."
Ji Yunshu didn't expect such a twist: "So you are Huo Tu's princess?"
Huotu was a small country in the Western Regions, but this small country was destroyed by the people of Mobei a few years ago.
Daxia's national strength has not been very strong in recent years. Also, because it is far away, it does not have strong control over the Western Regions and rarely intervenes.
Zhuoma nodded: "Yes, but the people of Mobei don't know my identity. They just think I am the princess's maid. Otherwise, I would not be alive today."
"Then why did you tell me?"
It's such a big secret, no one would know it unless she told it.
Zhuoma said frankly, "Just think of it as me trying to gain your trust. The Mobei people have a grudge against me for destroying my country. All my relatives died at their hands, so I won't help them. With this thing in hand, if I betray you, you can tell Bilige my identity, and he won't let me live."
Ji Yunshu noticed a kind of determination in her tone, a determination to burn the boats.
She was sure that Zhuoma was indeed a very smart girl.
She changed herself from active to passive, and also gave her a reason to accept her, trust her and even control her.
No wonder he could live so long beside his enemies.
She was a little confused. Did Bilige really not know Zhuoma's identity?
After the two of them had their say, everything went according to plan.
That evening, Ji Yunshu saw Zhao Shen with a woman. After making a fuss, he took people to the palace to ask the Queen Mother for help.
It was also at this time that people learned that the person that the third prince of Mobei had been looking for with great fanfare was hidden by Zhao Shen.
Those who had envied Ji Yunshu before could not help but sneer and stretched their necks to watch the show.
