Chapter 421: For the Ji Family
Ji Yunshu knew that the thing must be there.
In the original book, when Yao Ruolan was poisoned and on the verge of death, it was the Fifth Prince, who had become the King of Mobei, who took out the medicine.
I just don't know whether the King of Mobei has told Bilige the whereabouts of the things.
But don't worry, as long as you have it, you can always find it.
Anyway, the King of Mobei is not dead yet, so we just need to put more effort into him.
Whenever Ji Yunshu thought of the Biling Pill, which was said to be able to cure all poisons, his heart burned with excitement.
She didn't know whether she could cure all poisons, but since she could save Yao Ruolan who was poisoned and dying, the chances of her being able to cure the poison in Zhao Shen were also very high.
Ji Yunlan couldn't bear to disappoint his sister, so he consoled her, "You're right. This thing should be in the hands of the King of Mobei. I'll have someone investigate further."
Ji Yunshu nodded: "I know, thank you for troubling me, brother."
Ji Yunlan smiled and said, "What's the trouble with this? I hope you can bother me more. If you can really find it, I can also see what this miraculous medicine that can bring back the dead looks like."
Ji Yunshu knew that he was trying to comfort himself, so he smiled and said nothing.
Ji Yunlan said this, but he didn't hold any hope in his heart. He turned and asked, "When are you planning to leave? Is there anything I can do for you?"
Seeing that he didn't stop her from going to Mobei, Ji Yunshu couldn't help but say, "I thought my brother didn't want me to go to Mobei just like my father did."
When Ji Changlin heard about this, he expressed a few words of dissatisfaction, but Ji Yunlan said nothing from beginning to end.
Ji Yunshu couldn't figure out what he was thinking for a moment.
Ji Yunlan looked at her with a complicated expression: "In your eyes, is my brother such an ungrateful person?"
Ji Yunshu looked up at him.
Ji Yunlan said: "Over the past year, I have always thought about what happened on the night of your wedding. You told me that you wanted to marry Zhao Shen because you liked him, but that's not true, right?"
Ji Yunshu was caught off guard by his sudden words and stood there in a daze.
As soon as Ji Yunlan saw her expression, he knew that he had guessed right. His hard heart, which had been hardened by years of fighting on the battlefield, softened instantly as if it had been soaked in warm water.
"I should have thought of this earlier. You were brought to the palace by your aunt at such a young age, and you've only met Zhao Shen a few times. How could you insist on marrying him? If that were the case, with your temper, you wouldn't have asked your aunt to change the engagement to Zhao Heng."
Finally, he said in a heavy tone, "You decided to marry Zhao Shen because it was the best choice for the Ji family at the time, right?"
At the end of his words, his voice became stagnant. Although it was a question, his tone was firm.
The Ji family has always been at the center of controversy because they hold the military power of 200,000 border troops, especially since there is a queen mother named Ji in the palace.
As many people envy the Ji family's power, as many people want to find something to hold against them.
They and their son were away from the capital for most of the year, so the only person those people could use to make a fuss was Ji Yunshu.
At that time, if Ji Yunshu made a big deal out of it, whether it was breaking off the engagement or something else, people would point the finger at the Ji family.
Unless Ji Yunshu calms down.
Ji Yunlan didn't think of wronging his sister, but he didn't take Yao Ruolan to heart at that time.
But he knew exactly what happened after Zhao Heng married Wei Yuanmin.
The more he knew, the more scared he became.
If Ji Yunshu had married Zhao Heng, she would have experienced everything Wei Yuanmin went through, or perhaps even worse.
After all, Wei Yuanmin has a mother who is a princess and a father who is a duke, and they are both in the capital.
Fortunately, his sister is smart and courageous enough.
In just a short while, the best way out was found.
Of course, this is best for the Ji family.
At that time, Ji Yunshu didn't know whether Zhao Shen would be a worse person than Zhao Heng, didn't know whether his leg would get better, and didn't know that he would become the emperor's trusted minister.
My sister sacrificed herself for the Ji family.
Whenever he thought of this, Ji Yunlan felt heartbroken.
Ji Yunshu didn't know how to explain it. She didn't have time to think about the Ji family at that time. Marrying Zhao Shen was the best choice for her.
But she and the Ji family have always been one. To protect herself is to protect the Ji family.
Thinking of this, Ji Yunshu finally understood what Ji Yunlan was thinking.
The father and son of the Ji family fought bloody battles at the border, leaving their only relative in the capital, asking for nothing else but happiness.
But in order to protect herself and the Ji family, she married a disabled man.
It is true that Zhao Shen did not really have a broken leg, but in everyone's eyes at that time, he was a disabled person who no one was willing to marry.
Even with the power of the Marquis's Mansion, a pretty face and outstanding talents are useless.
So women at this time are actually very realistic.
Ji Yunshu hesitated for a moment before evading the main point and saying, "Not really. He's certainly good-looking, and just looking at his face makes me happy every day. I originally thought it would be nice to marry him and live a peaceful life. Now it seems like I've gotten a huge bargain. I wonder how many people in the capital are jealous of my good fortune now."
In just one year, those who had laughed at her were slapped in the face.
Ji Yunshu thought this was quite dramatic.
Ji Yunlan said angrily: "What kind of good luck is this? You are trying to fool me again. Don't tell me that everything you did in the past year was just for fun."
Ji Yunshu: "It's more fun than staying in the backyard."
Ji Yunlan raised his hand and knocked her head. "You came to Mobei just for fun? Zhao Shen wrote to me time and again to remind my father and me to be careful about Mobei and the people around us. It has nothing to do with you?"
Even if Ji Yunlan didn't know everything about who Zhao Shen was, he knew a little bit about it.
He looks like a gentleman on the outside, but he is cold and ruthless on the inside.
Before marrying Ji Yunshu, he had no relationship with the Ji family. Now that they are so close to each other and are afraid that something might happen to them, it is obvious that it is because of Ji Yunshu.
Everyone in the court is trying to protect themselves. When it comes to matters concerning their families, being neutral is considered friendly.
Zhao Shen's behavior made him feel relieved that his sister had not made a mistake in choosing the right person, but also made him feel more sad.
Gambling with your own life, it would be nice if you won, but if you lose, you will lose your sister's life.
Let’s not talk about the previous things. It is obvious that his sister’s trip to Mobei is for them, father and son. How can he not appreciate it?
Speaking of this, Ji Yunshu immediately asked, "So, have you found any problematic people around you? You don't know, the people in Prince Yong's Mansion are really omnipresent. They have people planted around the Empress Dowager and even the Emperor. We've cleaned it up several times this year, but it's still not completely cleared out."
Ji Yunlan said with a smile, "Unless there are no more people around, it's impossible for spies to disappear. After receiving Zhao Shen's letter, my father and I checked the people around him several times, whether they were servants or in the barracks, and found a few with problems. But no one can guarantee whether the remaining people have any problems."
