Chapter 411 People from Different Worlds
"They did search her, but she was a young lady from a royal palace after all, so the searchers didn't dare to go too far. Besides, she wasn't a savior after all. Who would have thought she would commit suicide by taking poison?"
Ji Yunshu hadn't expected this either: "Xiao Ting doesn't seem like someone who would commit suicide."
She wasn't even the type to sacrifice herself for Prince Yong's Mansion.
After several contacts, Xiao Ting gave her the impression of being an extreme egoist.
Most girls in this world are obedient and stay in the backyard. Wujina's ambition did not come out of thin air, but was caused by the environment in Mobei.
But Xiao Ting was different. The moment she walked out of the boudoir, she was destined to abandon many things.
So it is absolutely impossible that she did so much just to help Prince Yong ascend the throne.
If she was willing to be an ordinary woman, it would have no effect on her whether Prince Yong ascended the throne or not.
Because even if Prince Yong ascended the throne and she became a princess, she would still have to get married, and by then she might not be able to marry better than she does now.
Zhao Shen also felt that Xiao Ting would not commit suicide, but because of this thought, he focused all his attention on Xiao Xun, who might go to save Xiao Ting, and ignored Xiao Ting herself.
It happened so suddenly that looking back now, I always feel like something is wrong.
He was silently thinking about the cause and effect of this matter when he heard Ji Yunshu suddenly ask: "Is it possible that she is not dead?"
Zhao Shen turned to look at her: "Why do you think so?"
Ji Yunshu leaned on the table with his hands on his chin, looking at the lights in front of him, and said slowly: "It's too easy to catch her. Since she did it, she shouldn't have no backup plan."
If Xiao Ting took action personally, would she not have anticipated the outcome?
When doing something like this, you should always consider what to do if you fail.
Her words gave Zhao Shen an idea. He smiled and said, "I was negligent. Only the brother and sister came to Prince Yong's Mansion this time. Who do you think is in charge?"
Normally it should be Xiao Xun, but looking at Xiao Xun's ability to deal with things, he is not as good as Xiao Ting.
Moreover, King Yong seemed to prefer using women.
Ji Yunshu also thought of this: "There is always Xiao Kun. Xiao Xun is far inferior to Xiao Kun no matter how you look at it. Xiao Ting, on the other hand, has been very active from the beginning. There is actually nothing to criticize about what she has done."
Whether it was pushing Xiao Yue to marry or trying to kill her, success or failure actually had no impact on Prince Yong's Mansion.
Zhao Shen nodded: "It seems that the person may not be dead."
At this point, he frowned: "The coroner and Bai Ling have confirmed that the person is dead, and the body has been taken away by Xiao Xun."
Ji Yunshu sighed: "It seems that she is ready to stay away from the public. She is quite courageous."
Faking death is not a simple matter, it means that this person no longer exists in the world.
Zhao Shen smiled and said, "That's a good thing. If I meet him again in the future, I can just kill him."
Identity is also a guarantee. Xiao Ting gave up her identity herself and is no longer the daughter of King Yong. She may have a new identity, but it cannot withstand investigation.
So Xiao Ting will have a lot of trouble in the future.
Of course there are benefits. She can move freely and no longer be restricted by the children of vassal kings and cannot leave Yongzhou easily.
"The person shouldn't have gone far, so why not chase him?"
Ji Yunshu thought about how he almost got rabies, and he was unwilling to let anyone get away like that.
Zhao Shen smiled and said, "I have already sent people to keep a close eye on Xiao Xun. If Xiao Ting commits suicide out of fear of punishment, her crime will fall on Xiao Xun. Aren't they trying to delay time? Then we can take our time."
Ji Yunshu looked at the sinister expression in his somewhat cold eyes and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Zhao Shen was thinking about how to use this incident to clean up the influence of Prince Yong's Mansion in the capital. After not hearing Ji Yunshu speak for a while, he came to his senses and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ji Yunshu shook his head and remained silent.
Zhao Shen asked, "Are you angry that I let Xiao Ting go like this?"
He suddenly remembered that Ji Yunshu had been angry with him for a long time because he let Lu Ningshuang go.
"No, I know you're thinking about the bigger picture, and she's already paid the price."
She wasn't hurt after all.
But Zhao Shen’s expression just now made her feel a little strange.
But if you think about it carefully, even though they are the closest couple, Zhao Shen may not understand her very well.
They are people from different worlds.
Her words were obviously considerate and understanding, but Zhao Shen didn't feel happy.
He paused before saying, "I guarantee she won't live long."
Ji Yunshu said with a smile: "Don't act like I hope she dies. If she doesn't bother me, I don't care whether she lives or dies."
It was true that she didn't like Xiao Ting, but she wasn't determined to kill her.
If the other party fakes his death this time and hides his identity and never shows up again, then she really doesn't care about her life or death.
In Xiao Yue's words, there's no point in caring about someone you'll never meet again.
Unfortunately, the other party is most likely going to Mobei, so they should meet soon.
Seeing that she really didn't care, Zhao Shen wasn't sure what she was thinking, so he said, "Even though she's gone, the people of Mobei might not stop doing anything. You should be careful next time."
Ji Yunshu nodded: "I know that, but they don't have much time left. The Fifth Prince should be moving soon."
Zhao Shen nodded.
Their predictions were correct. After Xiao Ting failed, the Fifth Prince knew that the matter could not be delayed any longer.
Although he did not take part in what happened that day, it might be possible for Daxia to investigate him.
So the next day, assassins broke into the place where the Mobei people lived.
Princess Wujina was stabbed in the chest with a sword and died on the spot.
The fifth prince was frightened and fell ill. The Mobei delegation took their leave due to concerns about the fifth prince's health.
Emperor Jingming generously sent the person away.
Returning to the government hall, he smiled at Zhao Shen and said, "I thought the fifth prince would get rid of the third prince as well, but he only took action against the princess."
"Of course he wishes both of them had died in Daxia, but those nobles in Mobei are not fools. If two lively people died, and he returned half-dead, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to explain himself."
Emperor Jingming nodded indifferently: "You are right. Anyway, the Third Prince has broken his leg, so he is no longer a threat to him."
Zhao Shen nodded without comment. As for threats, he felt that the third prince was not a threat from the beginning.
With the Fifth Prince's intelligence, it would be too easy to kill the Third Prince. It wouldn't require any effort at all.
Seeing that he was distracted, Emperor Jingming said, "Well, it's time for you to leave. I just hope there won't be any major chaos in Mobei."
Zhao Shen said: "With General Ji here, there won't be any major chaos."
Emperor Jingming rubbed his brows and said, "It's not that I don't trust my uncle, but I don't know why. I've been feeling uneasy lately. I've had several dreams in which something happened to my uncle and cousin. It doesn't seem like a good sign."
Zhao Shen's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he couldn't help but ask, "What else happened in your dream?"
