Chapter 477: No Choice
In a daze, he seemed to be asleep, but also seemed not to be.
Someone whispered something in his ear, and he answered involuntarily.
He slept exceptionally soundly that night.
When he woke up the next day, he felt relaxed all over, but when he thought about what happened last night, he felt a little confused.
He couldn't quite remember how he fell asleep, and while he was thinking, his eyes fell on the incense burner.
He was a sensitive and delicate person, and he quickly realized that something was wrong.
He felt heavy-hearted and asked someone to call the maid who had changed the spices yesterday.
The person who was sent out came back to report shortly afterwards that the maid was missing.
His guess came true, and Bilige crushed the teacup in his hand.
He had been cautious enough, but he didn't expect that someone would still be around him.
The thought that the other party could drug him could kill him without him knowing.
A chill rose in his heart.
He couldn't remember what happened last night and could only secretly wonder why the other party did this?
After a long time, he walked to his bed, reached out and tapped a place, opened a secret cabinet, and then saw that the things inside were gone.
Bilige's eyes narrowed, emitting a dangerous light.
Wujina took the item and took a quick look at it. After confirming that it was correct, she immediately asked the secret guard beside her to deliver it to Ji Yunshu.
So when Bilige discovered that the Biling Pill was missing, it had already fallen into Ji Yunshu's hands.
Ji Yunshu held the wax-sealed pill up to the light for a long moment, then asked Zhao Shen, "Do you think this thing can cure all poisons?"
Zhao Shen shook his head: "I don't think so. There is nothing in this world that can truly cure all poisons."
Ji Yunshu also understood this principle, especially for many chronic poisons. The toxins are deposited in the body. Even if they are truly eliminated, the damage caused to the body is irreversible.
And Wujina also said that it was just a coincidence that this thing saved a person, it is poisonous itself.
But now Ji Yunshu didn't want to think rationally. She just wanted the Biling Pill to work like it did in the novel and cure the poison in Zhao Shen.
"It's hard to say. If there was a coincidence once, why can't there be a second time? This medicine has been sealed with wax, so the medicinal effect should be well preserved. I will send it to Taoist Yichen immediately to see what he says."
Zhao Shen hadn't expected her to come to Mobei solely to help him find this legendary medicine. Although he didn't hold out much hope, he still said, "Let's give it a try, but there's no rush. The situation is special right now, and the people you send may not be able to leave Mobei safely. We won't be here much longer anyway, so let's go back and talk about it."
Ji Yunshu nodded. After coming to Mobei, Zhao Shen’s health had indeed not been affected.
However, they will have to confront King Yong sooner or later, so it is better to prepare early.
She put the pills back into the box, where there were still two pills. Wujina gave her three Biling Pills in total.
She looked at the small box containing the pills and thought for a moment. "According to Wujina, the royal family didn't value this thing very much. It's been in the warehouse for a long time. Why did Bilige hide it?"
She didn't think that Bilige would take out something that was useless to him from the private treasury of the King of Mobei.
Zhao Shen smiled and said, "It's nothing more than this thing being useful to King Mobei or him. But seeing that he has been holding the thing in his own hands and not giving it to King Mobei, I guess it is useful to him."
Ji Yunshu thought of Bilige's frail appearance, as if he could die at any moment, and speculated, "Could it be that this medicine is effective for his body? Wujina sent three pills, and I wonder how much of this medicine there was originally?"
Although Zhao Shen was not familiar with medicine, he had heard that the herbs needed to make the Biling Pill were extremely rare and a lot of them had been used up before, so he thought there wouldn't be many left.
In fact, he was very surprised that Wujina could send him three.
Ji Yunshu also thought so: "Could it be that Bilige knew that this thing could be useful to him, but he hasn't had time to use it yet?"
Zhao Shen rubbed her head and said, "Don't guess. The things are already in our hands. Just keep them."
Ji Yunshu nodded. "Wurina is so forthright and generous, probably to apologize. She knew exactly what the consequences would be if a war broke out, yet she still allowed the King of Mobei and Bilige to attack Daxia."
Zhao Shen wasn't surprised at all. "She has no choice. The King of Mobei won't pass the throne to her. Bilige has been secretly preparing for years. Who knows what cards he has? Instead of confronting Bilige directly, it's better to let Daxia help her deplete his fighting power first."
On the surface, Bilige seems to have little chance of winning, but he has the support of the King of Mobei, and he himself is no mediocre person. The power he has accumulated in his hands should not be underestimated.
Zhao Shen felt that if they really fought hard, Wujina might not be a match for Bilige.
Ji Yunshu felt uncomfortable, but she also knew that if she were Wu Rina, she might do the same.
"The King of Mobei should be here in the next few days. After this incident, Bilige will also take action against Wujina, right?"
Zhao Shen nodded: "But I guess Wujina will strike first, but it's hard to say who will win in the end."
Before they knew it, they had been in Mobei for over a month, and Ji Yunshu was getting a little impatient.
Now that she had obtained the Biling Pill, she couldn't wait to give it to Yichen to see if it could cure the poison in Zhao Shen's body.
"Then we..."
Since Bilige is taking action against Wujina, he will definitely not let them go.
"Don't worry, we are here, Bilige won't be suspicious. Your spices are indeed good. I asked the leader of the men in black an interesting thing."
Ji Yunshu: "What's the matter?"
She bought the spices and immediately prepared them. She had been doing it for fun before without any clear goal, and the spices would have a better calming effect.
Hallucinations are also the kind that can make people relax.
This time, the configuration was targeted and a large amount of hallucinogenic spices were added, and the effect was very good.
The man spilled everything he knew, thinking he was dreaming.
"He said he didn't know who they had planted next to your father, but it was definitely someone we wouldn't have expected."
Ji Yunshu: "He didn't even need to say that. If he had thought of that, my father wouldn't have been able to find anyone for so long."
Zhao Shen smiled and said, "But he said it was a woman."
"Women?" Ji Yunshu was puzzled. "There can't be women in the military camp. Last time we went to Daddy and Big Brother's place, we didn't see any women."
Zhao Shen said, "Could it be the family of someone your father trusts? This would explain why your father has been unable to find that person, because they are not close to him, and he would not pay attention to the women of other families."
Ji Yunshu suddenly understood: "What you said is really possible. Speaking of which, what exactly is Prince Yong's hobby? Why does he like to use women so much?"
Zhao Shen said, "Isn't this obvious? Women are less likely to arouse suspicion, and perhaps more loyal to him."
