Chapter 489 Negotiation
No one else could have caused the maid who had served him since childhood to betray him, except Queen Helian, who had sole control over the harem.
Bilige thought for a moment, and then made sure that Ji Yunshu was not lying to him, so he had to compromise: "What do you want?"
Ji Yunshu laughed: "Anything is fine. What if I ask you to lead your people out of Daxia?"
Bilige saw that Zhao Shen had remained silent from beginning to end, as if everything was decided by Yunshu. His face darkened slightly, "Madam, you are joking. This is not something I can decide alone. My life is important, but not to this extent."
Ji Yunshu was just saying it casually. She certainly understood that things had come to this point and Bilige couldn't just back off on his own.
"Then I wonder what the Fifth Prince is willing to pay for the Biling Pill?"
Ji Yunshu looked at Bilige and felt that he lacked sincerity.
It is true that she and Zhao Shen are in a somewhat dangerous situation now, but it is not easy for Bilige to kill them.
Bilige thought for a moment before saying, "I can let you go."
Ji Yunshu was about to say something when Bilige said, "I know you two have walked into a trap this time, but I can also tell you that without my approval, you will definitely not leave here alive."
He had expected Ji Yunshu and Zhao Shen to come to Lin.
He has been keeping an eye on the whereabouts of the two.
Someone told him that there were two fewer people entering the city that night, so he knew that these two people were the ones who sneaked in.
Ji Yunshu and Zhao Shen ruined too many things for him. If it weren't for them, he would have been able to deal with Batu and Wujina smoothly in Daxia, and everything would not have developed into what it is now.
If it weren't for the Biling Pill, he would never let the two of them leave alive.
Ji Yunshu certainly understood what Bilige meant. She raised an eyebrow and asked, "Can the Fifth Prince make the decision on this matter?"
After all, it is definitely not just Bilige who wants to kill them.
Bilige alone cannot stop something that has already been planned.
Bilige looked at her steadily and said, "Madam, you are wise, but now Linyuan is in my hands. I can promise to let you leave Linyuan."
Ji Yunshu understood that whether they lived or died after leaving Lin Yuan was none of his business.
Ji Yunshu thought for a moment and said, "This deal is reasonable. The problem is, we don't have the Biling Pill with us, so we have to leave before we can give it to you."
Bilige didn't believe her words, because the Bilingdan was given to her by Wujina.
Wujina definitely didn't give her the Bilingdan on a whim, she wanted it herself.
She used something to exchange for the Bilingdan from Wujina.
The thing she got with so much effort must be very important to her, and she would not give it to others easily.
Seeing that he didn't believe her, Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "This thing is very important to me, so I had it sent back to Daxia to the doctor as soon as I got it. But you know, there are still three pills in the box, so I can give you one."
Bilige was hesitant.
He actually had no intention of fulfilling his promise. King Yong had said that these two people must not be allowed to leave alive under any circumstances.
They had been working together for so long, but this was the first time that King Yong had so explicitly wanted to kill both of them.
But the Biling Pill is the only thing he knows at the moment that may keep him alive.
It would have been fine for him to let them leave Linyuan before taking action, but now Ji Yunshu wanted him to ensure that they could return to the capital of Daxia alive.
"If I let Madam go, how can I be sure that she will keep her promise and give me the Biling Pill?"
He didn't trust Ji Yunshu at all.
Ji Yunshu spread his hands and said, "You don't seem to have any other choice but to trust me. Anyway, if you don't agree, the worst that can happen is that we die first and you are buried with us. Thinking about it this way, it seems that my death is not a loss."
Bilige: “…”
Is this woman sick?
He turned to look at Zhao Shen: "Prince, do you want to die here too?"
Zhao Shen said indifferently, "When I went to Mobei, I thought that I might not be able to leave alive."
Bilige didn't think that these two people really wanted to die, but they had grasped his weakness and were fearless.
He knew he had little bargaining power.
"Okay, I can let you go, and I hope you can keep your promise."
Ji Yunshu smiled brightly: "Then it's a pleasure to work with you."
What she was thinking was indeed that if Bilige could survive the war, it would not be a bad idea to give him a Biling Pill.
For Bilige now, being able to survive is of course the most important thing, but this deal still makes him feel aggrieved.
He was silent for a moment and then said, "I can let you go, but not now. I have people watching me, so I'll have to inconvenience you by making you stay here for a few days."
Ji Yunshu said nonchalantly, "You have the final say. Sorry to bother you next."
Bilige waved his hand and asked someone to arrange a room for them.
Zhao Shen and Ji Yunshu said goodbye without any objection and went to rest.
When no one was in the room, Ji Yunshu asked Zhao Shen, "Do you think he will really let us go?"
Ji Yunshu opened the window and looked around, his voice low: "Of course not, otherwise just let us go, why keep us here?"
Ji Yunshu also felt that this action was a bit superfluous. As for what Bilige said about someone watching him, Ji Yunshu did not take it seriously.
If we let them go, they will be discovered sooner or later. It's just a matter of time. There's no need to hide it.
If the people on Prince Yong's side knew about it sooner, maybe they could find a way to remedy the situation.
"He's so cunning, he doesn't even care about his own life. He's such a difficult person."
She had never seen such a person before. It seemed that even if he would die tomorrow, he would still finish what he had decided to do today.
Zhao Shen shook his head. "Not necessarily. He just knows he won't die that easily. Haven't you noticed? Although he looks a little older than before, his aura is very similar to before. He's not as weak as he looks."
Of course Ji Yunshu discovered it. Every time he saw Bilige, he thought he would die soon, but the next time he saw him, he was still the same. It was quite magical.
She thought about the whole thing and came to a vague conclusion: "He has a way to keep himself alive, but he's under someone else's control, so he wants to get the Biling Pill."
This is why Bilige was still making such a fuss even though he looked like he was about to die.
Because he knew he would not die.
Just living has a price.
Zhao Shen also thought so. This was the most reasonable explanation for Bilige's words and deeds.
"So it's not necessarily his own will that led him to this point. I found it strange at the time. If his goal was really the throne, why would he poison Queen Helian first and alert the enemy? Wouldn't it be much easier to poison Wujina directly?"
Ji Yunshu: "So what exactly does he want to do?"
Zhao Shen shook his head: "Who knows? It seems that he only has one way to go."
