Chapter 51: Are you going to kill me to silence me?
But people like Zhao Shen rarely show their emotions unless they want to.
Instead, he could hear the uneasiness in her words: "What are you afraid of?"
Although Ji Yunshu appeared calm on the surface, she couldn't help but feel scared whenever she thought about what happened during the two times she entered the palace.
She had to admit that she was afraid that something might happen to the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and Zhao Shen.
Now facing Zhao Shen, she didn't want to suppress her emotions anymore. She looked him straight in the eye and said, "I'm afraid you'll die outside at any time and I won't even know."
Zhao Shen's heart trembled when he heard this. He could feel that this was not just an angry remark, but she was really scared.
His throat moved, wanting to say that he would be fine, but he knew very well that such words would be meaningless.
When acting in the dark, who can guarantee that they will be safe?
But he couldn't tell Ji Yunshu what he was doing either. It was safer for her not to know some things.
Seeing that he still wasn't going to say anything, Ji Yunshu suddenly asked, "Did you cause the destruction of Yama Palace?"
In fact, she had suspected the relationship between Zhao Shen and the emperor long ago.
One of them is the emperor, and the other is the prince of a marquisate with crippled legs.
The only connection was that Zhao Shen had once been a companion to Emperor Jingming.
Later, after Zhao Shen got into trouble and retired to the Marquis' Mansion, the two of them had no contact in public anymore.
But she feels that the friendship of youth is the most sincere.
Emperor Jingming ascended the throne at a young age and had a hard time in the court, with very few people he could use.
Zhao Shen is his study partner, has outstanding abilities, and is a top scholar in the imperial examination. Will the emperor leave him unused?
Later, something happened to his leg, and it had clearly healed, so why did he still pretend to be disabled?
He wanted to find out who was behind the harm to him. After so many years, how could he not find any clues?
Emperor Jingming has been acting strangely these days.
After she was assassinated, she was inexplicably allowed to live in the palace. It was obvious that they wanted to investigate the matter before dealing with the Yama Palace. For this purpose, they even dug up the old cases piled up in the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple, but suddenly and decisively eliminated the Yama Palace.
Today, she was specifically reminded to leave the palace.
Zhao Shen came back at this time and was injured.
Ji Yunshu finished speaking, and seeing Zhao Shen's beautiful peach blossom eyes shrink slightly, he sneered: "It seems that I guessed right. Now you want to kill me to silence me?"
Zhao Shen sighed helplessly: "I just don't want you to be involved in these things?"
Ji Yunshu didn't want to understand his good intentions at all: "I was born into the Ji family. My father is a general with 200,000 troops under his command, my aunt is the queen mother, and now I'm married to you. What makes you think I'm not involved in these things?"
She has never been free from the calculations of those people, otherwise why would Zhao Heng marry her?
If anything happened to her father, brother, aunt, and Zhao Shenruo, could she stay out of it?
Seeing that Zhao Shen remained silent, she continued, "The last time I entered the palace, I foiled their plan to murder the empress and prince in Ningshou Palace. This time, I discovered that there was something fishy about the little prince's wet nurse. What do you think they will do next time?"
Someone was relentlessly plotting to murder the empress, princes, and even the empress dowager and emperor in the palace.
Who knows when they will succeed?
After all, in the book these people do succeed.
Zhao Shen frowned as he listened to her words. He knew that Ji Yunshu had some adventures just like him and knew what would happen in the future.
It is precisely because I know this that I become even more worried.
He felt that he could protect her, but the truth was, he was often powerless.
No one knew the sudden panic and fear in his heart when he heard the news of her assassination.
He suddenly said, "I was the one who did what happened in Yama's Palace."
Ji Yunshu thought he wouldn't say it, but when he suddenly heard these words, he couldn't help but look at him.
Zhao Shen smiled and said, "I went out for other things. On my way back, I heard about your assassination. I happened to pass by the headquarters of the Hades Palace, so I went to deal with it."
He said it lightly, but dealing with a killer organization is certainly not an easy task.
Meeting her worried look, Zhao Shen added, "I brought someone with me. He only suffered minor injuries and is not a problem."
Ji Yunshu didn't believe what he said and stood up to pull his collar.
Zhao Shen turned his wheelchair and wanted to move back, but Ji Yunshu knew he would do so and pressed him down.
"Didn't you say the injury wasn't serious? Let me see what's wrong."
Zhao Shen wanted to say that physical contact between men and women is inappropriate, but seeing that she had quickly opened her clothes, he knew what to do and didn't say anything.
Ji Yunshu's attack was very gentle, but it still pulled the wound, and blood immediately seeped out of the bandage.
How could it be just a minor injury?
Ji Yunshu simply removed the bandage on his shoulder.
Zhao Shen held her hand and said, "It's really okay."
Ji Yunshu was about to say that it was time to change the medicine, but when he turned his head, he saw that Zhao Shen's earlobe was so red that it looked like it was about to bleed.
Only then did she realize that because she was anxious to see his wound, she had unknowingly gotten a little close to him.
His fair cheeks had turned red at some point, and his eyes were wandering as if he didn't know where to look.
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but laugh and said, "Are you shy?"
Zhao Shen pursed his lips: "This is not good for you."
I don’t know if it was because of the serious injury and excessive blood loss, or if it was just like that, but Zhao Shen’s beautifully shaped thin lips were a light pink, which looked very nice.
Ji Yunshu stared at the color of his lips, and she understood in her heart that he had been keeping a distance from her all these days. Perhaps he was afraid that he would really die in the future and didn't want to drag her down.
She suddenly felt a surge of anger in her heart. This person would risk exposing himself to personally eliminate a killer organization just because someone wanted to assassinate her.
But because I know I might die, I dare not have any illusions about the future.
Why are you so timid?
Ji Yunshu leaned forward suddenly and gently placed his lips on Zhao Shen's.
They separated at the first sign of contact, then looked up and asked, "What's wrong with that? You married me, but you don't want to be responsible for me, right?"
Zhao Shen stood there in a daze and opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing.
Ji Yunshu ignored him and directly removed the bandage on his shoulder, revealing a deep scar extending from his shoulder to his chest.
The person who attacked him was probably targeting his arm.
Ji Yunshu poked the edge of the wound with his finger in anger: "Is this the minor injury you mentioned?"
Zhao Shen was like an insensitive iron man, his expression didn't change and he nodded: "Yeah."
Apparently he really thought so.
Ji Yunshu was so angry that she wanted to curse, but she also saw that there were many deep and shallow scars on Zhao Shen's exposed chest, especially a very deep scar very close to his heart.
Just looking at the scars, you can tell how serious the injury was.
She couldn't help but reach out and touch the scar.
Being touched by her slightly warm fingers, Zhao Shen felt as if he was burned and wanted to hide, but seeing the heartache in Ji Yunshu's eyes, he did not move.
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but ask again: "What have you been doing these years?"
How could he have suffered so many injuries?
