Chapter 491: Testing
Ji Yunshu observed his expression. Although his words were harsh, he showed no disgust when he mentioned Wu Rina. He said, "Who cares if you two are on good terms? You can't make me go back to the royal city just for a meal. After all, you're both from Mobei and siblings. It's okay for you to treat us a meal on her behalf. Don't be so stingy."
Bilige: "Are you sure she only owes you a meal?"
Ji Yunshu said meaningfully, "Of course she owes something else. Will the Fifth Prince pay it back for her?"
Bilige coughed and said, "Madam, why are you making things difficult for me? You are ganging up on me, so why should I help you?"
He is not stupid, so how could he not guess why Wu Rina and Ji Yunshu got together?
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "Actually, Princess Wujina's cooperation with us isn't entirely to deal with the Fifth Prince. When the King of Mobei was still alive, he had been suppressing the Queen and the Ulan Tribe. She's just worried that if the Prince becomes the future King of Mobei, it will be detrimental to the Ulan Tribe. It's just human nature, right?"
Bilige looked at Ji Yunshu's smiling face and had a bad feeling in his heart.
This woman would never tell him this for no reason.
She seemed to have been talking about Wujina all the time.
"I know, but whether it's for the Queen and the Ulan tribe, or for her own ambitions, we are destined to be enemies. I don't know why Madam said this?"
Ji Yunshu held his chin and said, "I was just thinking, you two keep fighting, and in the end both of you will suffer, while others will benefit. We are all from the same roots, so why bother?"
Bilige's eyes were deep. He looked at her for a long moment before saying, "Madam, what you said is strange. We are both defeated, and in the end, Daxia will be the winner. What position do you stand on when you say such a thing?"
Ji Yunshu said, "Put yourself in her friend's shoes. Besides, what you said is not right. Your invasion of the south will do no good to Daxia. You know better than me who will truly benefit, don't you?"
Bilige didn't know what the woman wanted to say, but he had a hunch that it would be of no benefit to him to continue talking.
He ordered the people around him: "Go and see how the meal is going. Don't keep the prince and his wife waiting for too long."
Ji Yunshu looked at his unwise attempt to end the conversation, smiled and said nothing more.
After listening for a while, Zhao Shen roughly understood what she wanted to do, but he was surprised by her sudden idea.
Did she think that Bilige would take the initiative to explain the matter with Prince Yong's Mansion?
They lived in the original mansion of General Qian. The only owners of the mansion were Qian Rong and his daughter Qian Qian. Perhaps both father and daughter were not particular about food, which resulted in the chef not being able to cook many dishes.
Ever since Bilige came, I have been having a headache every day about what to cook. Fortunately, Bilige is not particular about food.
The cook had just breathed a sigh of relief a few days ago, when another distinguished guest came today and asked for hot soup.
I racked my brains to make two soups, I just hope the guests are not too picky.
Ji Yunshu was not a picky person, and without Lu Ru around these days, there was no one to help her prepare food all the time.
Although Zhao Shen accommodated her in every way, the food and clothing she had when she was away from home were not as fine as at home.
She took two sips of the soup and thought it tasted good. She asked Bilige, "This chef's cooking is quite good. Could you lend it to me for a while? I haven't had such delicious soup since I left the capital."
Due to his health condition, Bilige has been eating a light diet for many years, and his sense of taste has also changed. He can't taste anything special about this soup.
However, thinking that Ji Yunshu might be staying here for a few days, and that the cook was supposed to cook for her, he didn't care much and said, "Madam, just tell the kitchen what you want to eat."
Although Ji Yunshu and Zhao Shen were under house arrest, he would not embarrass them over such a small matter.
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Fifth Prince."
She then quietly finished her meal. Just when Bilige thought she was about to leave, she said, "Fifth Prince, why don't we go for a walk together to help digest our food? We have nothing to do anyway."
Bilige: “…”
He really wanted to say that he was not idle and had a lot of things to deal with.
Linyuan had just been occupied and the people were already uneasy. The news that Qian Rong was a fake had also spread, and the original defenders of Linyuan had also rioted. Although it was suppressed, he knew very well that those people would not truly submit and could cause trouble at any time.
Qian Rong's daughter has not been found yet.
It seems that since Zhao Shen and Ji Yunshu entered the city, nothing has gone so smoothly.
Thinking of this, his gaze on the two of them became a little gloomy.
Ji Yunshu noticed that his gaze was a little cold, and said with a smile: "Prince is unwilling, but with all due respect, you are in your current condition, so you'd better take good care of your body. Otherwise, what's the point of doing more?"
Bilige gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, Madam."
Ji Yunshu said with some regret: "To be honest, I don't want to worry about this. It's just that seeing Wu Rina showing mercy to you many times, I know that she still doesn't want you to die. As her friend, I naturally don't want her to be sad."
Bilige's face froze for a moment, but a sarcastic smile soon appeared on the corner of his lips. "Madam, you're joking. She wishes I would die immediately, so how could she be sad for me? Between us, it's either you live or I die. There's no brother-sister relationship as you think."
Ji Yunshu shook his head: "I don't think so. If Wu Rina really wants to kill you, she wouldn't have no chance, right? Apart from anything else, she can get the Biling Pill you hid, so how could she not kill you?"
She was well aware of the effects of the hallucinogens she had given Wujina. Bilige, who was drugged, had no ability to resist.
Moreover, Queen Helian has been in control of the harem for many years and has placed countless people around Bilige. If she really wants to kill him, is it impossible for her to do it?
Especially during the last period when the King of Mobei was poisoned and bedridden, since the relationship had already been torn apart, why not just go all out?
Ji Yunshu recently reviewed what happened in Mobei and found that although the brother and sister seemed to be fighting to the death, they actually left room for maneuver.
Her words made Bilige fall into silence. After a long while, seeing that Ji Yunshu was still sitting there without moving, Bilige smiled bitterly and said, "Madam, you should have said everything you wanted to say. It's so cold, there's no need to go for a walk."
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "I really think you should take good care of your body. A walk after dinner won't waste much time."
She acted as if she was doing this for your own good, but Bilige didn't pay any attention to her.
Ji Yunshu pulled Zhao Shen out. It was noon, but the sky was gloomy and the wind was getting stronger.
She couldn't help but sigh: "It's only October, is it going to snow?"
Zhao Shen said, "It's common for it to snow in October in the north, but this year Youzhou has been dry for so long, not a drop of rain has fallen. It's hard to say whether it's a good thing or not to snow at this time."
There would be less water shortage after the snow, but the severe cold weather seemed to come in a flash, and I wonder how many people would be frozen to death.
