Chapter 521: It’s Not the Relationship You Think
This time Gong Miaoyin didn't answer. She was silent for a moment before she said, "If you want to study, then stay here. I happen to be free these days."
Bai Ling immediately went to deliver a message to Ji Yunshu.
When Ji Yunshu received the news that she had to stay in the clinic to learn witchcraft from Gong Miaoyin, she had already returned to the general's mansion.
Bai Ling is hers, so naturally the more he knows, the better.
She smiled and said, "I didn't expect there would be such a pleasant surprise."
Zhao Shen was a little surprised to see that she was in a good mood. He thought she would be sad when she found out that the poison in her body could not be cured.
But since Ji Yunshu didn't mention it, he naturally wouldn't bring it up: "It's indeed a good thing."
The more Bai Ling understood, the better he could protect Ji Yunshu, and he would feel more at ease.
After the messenger left, Ji Yunshu asked Zhao Shen, "What do you think of this Doctor Gong?"
Zhao Shen smiled and said, "Your medical skills are indeed superb."
This person was the first one to tell that someone was infected with the fatal Gu by taking his pulse.
In this respect, no one among the imperial physicians could compare to her.
Of course, it is also possible that she herself has a deep understanding of poison.
Ji Yunshu said thoughtfully, "Don't you think she knows too much? I have a feeling that the poison in your body may be related to her."
Otherwise, Gong Miaoyin would not have known that this matter was related to Prince Yong.
Zhao Shen smiled: "Yes, he knows a lot. This doctor seems to be a man with a story."
Ji Yunshu raised his eyes to look at him: "A story about Prince Yong?"
After going through so much, the outline of King Yong has become increasingly clear in her mind.
Apart from his foresight and ability to forbear, he seems to have relationships with quite a few women.
Zhao Shen didn't expect that Ji Yunshu was thinking this, and said with a smile: "She may have a relationship with Prince Yong, but it's probably not the kind of relationship you think."
Ji Yunshu raised an eyebrow: "You know again? Then what is the relationship?"
Zhao Shen shook his head: "This is my first time meeting Doctor Gong today. I don't know much about her, so it's hard to say."
"But do you feel that she is not telling the truth? At least she is not telling the truth about the antidote."
This was also the reason why Ji Yunshu was in a good mood. Gong Miaoyin was able to clearly point out that there was an antidote in the world, which showed that she did know a lot about the poison in Zhao Shen's body.
Most importantly, she didn't say there were no other solutions.
In other words, even if the only antidote cannot be found, there may be other solutions.
But those are not the optimal solutions.
Zhao Shen also thought so. Gong Miaoyin's attitude was actually very clear: "Well, it's not that she didn't tell the truth, she just concealed some things. At least she gave me a year."
Compared to the previous situation where he didn't know when the poison would break out, he is now very content with having medicine to suppress it.
At least during this year, he wouldn't get into trouble for no apparent reason due to the poison.
Ji Yunshu said, "You're right, but do you want to investigate this Doctor Gong?"
Zhao Shen thought for a moment and said, "Leave this matter to me. You can pretend you know nothing. She has no ill will towards us, and the general has done her a favor. At this critical moment, she shouldn't stand idly by."
Ji Yunshu also felt that this was a good result.
As they were talking, news came from outside that Ji Yunlan had arrived.
The two looked at each other, then Ji Yunshu realized something and looked at Zhao Shen.
What she told her father was that a friend of hers was poisoned. Her father didn't ask much at the time, but that didn't mean he didn't pay attention to the matter.
They had just returned from Doctor Gong, and Ji Yunlan came already. It was obvious why.
Zhao Shen shook her hand and said, "It's okay. This is a matter concerning your life. Father and elder brother will know about it sooner or later."
When Ji Yunlan came in, he saw the two of them holding hands with affection.
He snorted coldly: "You two are really good at hiding things. You didn't say a word about such a big thing."
Ji Yunshu felt a little guilty when he saw his cold face, but Zhao Shen spoke first, "Brother, calm down. It's my fault for hiding this matter."
Ji Yunlan said unhappily, "Of course it's your fault. Since you've been poisoned by an incurable poison, you should know your limits."
Ji Yunshu heard that he was accusing Zhao Shen of provoking her, and couldn't help but defend himself, "Brother, this is not his fault. He is also a victim. Everyone will die. Doesn't that mean we shouldn't live a good life?"
No one can predict which comes first, accident or death.
At this moment, Ji Yunshu suddenly understood Bilige's thoughts.
Even if you know you will die, you still have to do what you should do.
Ji Yunlan was furious when he suddenly heard the news. His face turned pale as he said, "You're still speaking for him. He's a victim, so what? Aren't there many innocent people who have been victimized in this world? Why do you have to bear the consequences? You clearly have other options."
Why would his sister, the jewel in the Ji family's palm, tie her life to a man who could die at any time?
Ji Yunshu wanted to say something, but she suddenly realized why Ji Yunlan was so angry.
Because of guilt.
On the surface, her marriage seemed to be in accordance with her own wishes, but Ji Yunlan must have understood it afterwards.
That was the best choice for her and the Ji family under the circumstances at the time.
He hated himself for having too many concerns at the time and not taking his sister away from the Marquis' Mansion directly.
That’s how everything became what it is now.
Zhao Shen also understood what Ji Yunlan was thinking. He slowly said, "Don't worry, big brother. I brought Ah Shu to Youzhou this time and I've already told the emperor that if anything happens to me, Ah Shu will stay in Youzhou and won't have to return to the capital."
"Zhao Shen," Ji Yunshu said angrily, "Have you asked for my opinion?"
Zhao Shen didn't look at Ji Yunshu, but stared at Ji Yunlan and said, "I believe my father-in-law and my elder brother will take good care of her."
Ji Yunlan saw determination in his eyes, and he knew that Zhao Shen had indeed thought about how to arrange his funeral.
He felt like he couldn't breathe out or swallow, and after a long while, he took a deep breath and asked, "What's going on?"
Ji Yunshu sat aside in silence, annoyed, while Zhao Shen told her all about his family's mess very frankly.
After hearing this, Ji Yunlan was speechless for a long time.
He really couldn't imagine that the Marquis of Changxing was actually schemed by a woman to kill his original wife, be cuckolded, and raise his son for someone else for more than 20 years.
Compared to these, he felt that the storytellers in the restaurant were simply lacking in imagination.
But he quickly put all this behind him. What mattered now was the poison in Zhao Shen's body.
No matter how angry he was, even he had to admit that Zhao Shen was indeed a man worthy of entrusting his life to.
He doesn't want his sister to be a widow in the future.
"So now, we have to find the only antidote, and this antidote is either in the hands of Yao or Prince Yong?"
Zhao Shen pondered and said, "It should be in the hands of Prince Yong, but Yao must be using this to control my father. Forcing him to compromise."
