Chapter 476: Betting on His Escape
Helian Ye knew what she was thinking, but he couldn't help but say, "You are destined to ascend the throne, so you must give up what you should. Always harboring pity won't make you stronger. Wujina, you still have a chance to stop this war. Do you want to stop it?"
This war will not be bad for them. Bilige can certainly gain benefits from the war, but he can also use Daxia to consume his power.
If 50,000 well-equipped cavalrymen turned around and attacked them, Wujina might not have a chance of winning.
In the land of Mobei, strength is the only thing that matters.
Wu Jina shook her head firmly: "Of course not. Not only can I not do that, but Zhao Shen can't do that either. Otherwise, why do you think he has been willing to be trapped in the royal city these days?"
If she could guess it, how could Zhao Shen not guess it?
The army hidden in the hands of the King of Mobei is no secret at all to those who are interested.
Hearing her mention Zhao Shen, Helian Ye said worriedly, "Are you sure Zhao Shen is a reliable person? I've met him twice, and I always feel that he's a bit unfathomable. Even his wife is a bit hard to tell."
Wujina laughed and said, "If he wasn't so powerful, how could he have pushed Prince Yong to this point in just one year? From what I know, His Royal Highness Prince Yong of Daxia made a significant contribution to this battle. He wasn't like this before."
When she discovered that something was wrong with Bilige, she took the opportunity to find out that he was in collusion with King Yong of Daxia.
But King Yong, as the people of Daxia said, was extremely cunning and treacherous.
What he is best at is hiding behind everyone and controlling the situation, never doing anything himself.
So the emperor of Daxia knew exactly what he wanted to do, but he could never find any evidence.
But now King Yong is also starting to get anxious.
He devoted extraordinary energy to the affairs of Mobei.
Thinking of this, Wujina couldn't help but shiver for Zhao Shen and his wife.
Zhao Shen had caused so much trouble for King Yong. This time, King Yong probably not only wanted to get rid of General Ji who was guarding Youzhou, but also wanted Zhao Shen and his wife to stay in Mobei forever.
Helian Ye said, "You're right. Bilige never had the courage to spend all his wealth at once. What about Zhao Shen and his wife?"
Wujina thought for a moment and said, "To be honest, I don't think Prince Yong can outsmart Zhao Shen, so I'm still betting on him getting away alive. Besides, we don't have a choice. If Zhao Shen loses, it might also mean Bilige will win."
Helian Ye knew that although Wujina seemed arrogant and unruly, she was actually very measured in her words and had a good eye for people.
"It seems that you are very confident in Zhao Shen. Can I know why?"
Wu Rina smiled and said, "Whether you believe it or not, I think in Zhao Shen's heart, Ji Yunshu is more important than himself. From the moment he brought Ji Yunshu here, I knew he was sure he wouldn't lose."
She had never seen a couple like Zhao Shen and Ji Yunshu.
It’s hard to tell how deep their affection is, but she just has a hunch that Ji Yunshu is very important to Zhao Shen.
Helian Ye didn't expect such an answer. After a moment's pause, he said, "According to what you said, Ji Yunshu is Zhao Shen's weak spot. If we want to deal with him, we can just use Ji Yunshu as a scapegoat."
Wu Jina shook her head. "It's best if we have no grudges against Zhao Shen. I never want to be his enemy. I advise you not to have such an idea either. Because someone else has had such an idea before, and it didn't end well."
Helian Ye was silent for a long time, and he seemed to accept Wujina's statement. He sighed and said, "The Emperor of Daxia is really lucky."
Wujina also felt a little emotional. Isn’t it a good fortune?
If it weren't for Zhao Shen and Ji Yunshu, the Emperor of Daxia might not have discovered Prince Yong's ambition at this moment.
It is possible that he will be killed in the palace one day.
But over the past year, he has successively eliminated the important pawns that Prince Yong had placed in the court, and his position has become increasingly stable, while Prince Yong has been forced to retreat step by step.
She can already meet him. Perhaps after this battle in Mobei, both sides will reach the end of their rope.
But at that time, King Yong would probably be in a dilemma.
The next step is to directly rebel, but he is no longer sure of victory.
If he takes a step back, the emperor of Daxia will not let him go.
Alas, Wujina felt that even someone like herself, who came from a royal family, could not understand how Prince Yong had come to this point.
But this is not what she should consider right now.
She tapped the spice box in her hand with her fingertips and said, "If you put it that way, I don't know what to do with this thing for the time being."
The King of Mobei was poisoned by an incurable poison and if nothing unexpected happens, he won't live long.
Bilige wants to control the war and may have to go into battle himself.
Before that, he had to get rid of himself.
No wonder Helian Ye asked himself if he was ready.
She chuckled: "Speaking of which, I owe Ji Yunshu a lot, so why not do her a small favor first."
Helian Ye asked alertly: "What are you going to do?"
He didn't think that the favor his cousin mentioned was really that small.
Wu Rina said directly, "Didn't I ask you to look for the Biling Pill before? That's what Ji Yunshu wants. I didn't intend to give it to her immediately, and it's really hard to get it out of Bilige's hands. But now, she and Zhao Shen are in danger, and I can't help them. I feel sorry for her. I'll give her the Biling Pill first. It's my sincerity."
It took Helian Ye a long time to realize what she was going to do: "So how are you going to get that thing out of Bilige's hands?"
Wujina said, "You can guess that Bilige will attack me soon, right? I decided to strike first."
Helian Ye: "...I wish you good luck."
Wujina winked and smiled slyly: "I will."
That night, Bilige smelled a special scent in his dormitory. It was very different from the spices he usually used, and he recognized it immediately.
He immediately asked the maidservant beside him with vigilance: "Who replaced the spices?"
The maidservant had been with him since she was a child. She knew all his living habits and had never made any mistakes.
At this moment, the other party said cautiously: "I noticed that the prince has been sleeping restlessly these days, so I went to the witch doctor to ask for some calming spices. The witch doctor said that this spice can make people relax a little and has no bad effects."
Bilige had been smelling it for a while and indeed did not notice any adverse effects, and he seemed to have relaxed unconsciously.
He was not in good health and was not very good at this daily routine, so he was a little lacking in energy.
Thinking that there were still many things he needed to deal with later, he felt it was necessary to light some calming incense and have a good sleep.
So he put on a stern face and told the maid not to act on her own, and sent her away without mentioning the matter of exchanging the spices.
Before the maid left, she quietly looked up at his expression and made sure that there was nothing unusual before she felt relieved.
When the room became quiet, Bilige suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of relaxation.
He had suffered a lot since childhood and had never truly let down his guard against the people around him.
But at this moment, his mind seemed to be clear and there was nothing in it.
