Chapter 525: Seriously Ill
Judging from the current situation, Lin Huixue holds a considerable position in the eyes of King Yong.
"What did he do?"
Cen Xi shook his head: "I don't know. In fact, if he hadn't returned to the Cen Mansion on his own, I wouldn't have known he was in the capital."
Ji Yunshu also knew that Lin Huixue's affairs were not so easy to investigate.
"Then did he know that you came here?"
Lin Huixue is an enemy that cannot be underestimated, and he goes to Cen Xi for a purpose.
"Although he lives in the Cen Mansion, we don't interfere in each other's affairs. I haven't been involved in his affairs, and he doesn't seem to care about mine. But I don't know if he has sent people to keep an eye on me privately."
Ji Yunshu felt that Lin Huixue didn't need to send anyone to keep an eye on Cen Xi. The issue of military supplies was closely related to Prince Yong's Mansion. As long as Cen Xi made any movement, Lin Huixue would be able to guess what she was doing.
Not to mention that mobilizing such a large amount of supplies would cause quite a stir.
"This person is too dangerous. You'd better stay away from him."
Someone as smart as Lin Huixue might be aware of Cen Xi's thoughts.
Ji Yunshu felt that Cen Xi's dealings with Lin Huixue were tantamount to courting disaster.
Cen Xi, however, had a different opinion: "Don't worry, Madam. I know what I'm doing. To be honest, I've thought this through carefully. From my father, I learned a lesson: women should never rely on men, or else they'll likely end up badly."
She had thought countless times that if her mother had been a little tougher and had supported the family business on her own, the Cen family might not have ended up being almost swallowed up by outsiders.
These days she has reflected deeply and realized that men are unreliable.
She wanted the Cen family to prosper, and she could only rely on herself.
Ji Yunshu looked at Cen Xi with appreciation: "You are right, but you have to know that Lin Huixue is not like ordinary men."
If it was just a man like Cen Xi's father, it would not be difficult to deal with him as long as you see through his disguise.
But Lin Huixue did not follow the path of ordinary men to get promoted and make money. He had greater ambitions and was more cunning.
He doesn't even take the Cen family seriously.
But if Cen Xi's interests conflict with his, he might even lose his life.
Cen Xi smiled and said, "I know what Madam means, but I want to give it a try. In life, many things are actually gambles. If the final result is not satisfactory, I will accept the loss."
Ji Yunshu discovered that Cen Xi did indeed have the temperament of a gambler.
It was as if he didn't know her at all, but just caught a glimpse of the possible discord between her and Zhao Heng from her marriage changes, and yet he dared to find her.
But that time, she made the right bet and saved the Cen family and herself.
As for this time, Ji Yunshu could actually feel Cen Xi's interest in Lin Huixue.
Of course, it can't be considered a woman's interest in a man.
It was a desire to win, as if Lin Huixue made her feel very challenging.
This is actually a very dangerous sign.
But Ji Yunshu knew what kind of person Cen Xi was. She was a woman with strong opinions and would not easily change her decision.
She was just worried about Cen Xi's safety and didn't want to interfere with her decision: "Just think it over carefully."
Cen Xi smiled sweetly: "I knew Madam would respect my ideas. You don't have to worry. I know what I want."
The two chatted for a while, and Ji Yunshu asked Cen Xi to stay for a meal before letting her leave.
Ji Yunlan came back earlier that day. Whenever he came back these days, he would come to see Ji Yunshu.
Zhao Shen just happened to tell others that he was going to be away for a few days.
Ji Yunlan was a little worried: "Do you really have to go in person? If you dare to do such a thing as confiscate your family and exterminate your clan, those people will have no way out and will not show you mercy."
It is wartime now. Anyone who dares to touch military supplies and food will be sentenced to death for the entire clan.
Zhao Shen nodded. "That's why I have to go there myself. The person I sent before didn't get any response at all. If I send someone else, they probably won't come back either."
Hearing this, Ji Yunlan became even more worried: "Wouldn't it be even more dangerous for you to go? Maybe this is a trap for you?"
"Even if it's a trap, I have to go." He looked at Ji Yunlan calmly, "The war can't go on like this."
If We really lose Youzhou, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Ji Yunlan understood the meaning of his words and said excitedly: "The offensive of Mobei has slowed down. Youzhou will not be lost."
He felt a little humiliated. When he learned that the emperor had specially sent Zhao Shen to resolve the issues in Mobei, he felt that the emperor did not trust him and his father.
But I didn't expect that things would develop to this point in just a few months.
The Mobei princess and the prince, who were supposed to fight to the death for the throne, did not fight each other. Instead, they unanimously turned their spearheads against Daxia.
Although on the surface Wujina did not declare war on Daxia, it seemed that everything was done by the defected Bilige.
But after fighting with Mo Bei for so many years, he is well aware of Mo Bei's strength.
Bilige alone does not have the ability to capture those cities.
Zhao Shen's voice was gentle, with a hint of soothing in it: "Of course Youzhou won't be lost, but now it's not just Mobei's problem. Those people hiding in the dark should also be brought to justice. Otherwise, even after the war ends, I'm afraid we won't be able to rest in peace."
Ji Yunlan sighed: "Life is so good, I don't know what Prince Yong wants."
If they had not colluded with King Yong, the people of Mobei might not have had the courage to send troops to Daxia.
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "One must do something in life, otherwise it would be so boring."
Zhao Shen glanced at Ji Yunshu and was a little surprised. She seemed to know what King Yong was thinking.
After so many years of planning, apart from the wrong timing, he felt that King Yong might be enjoying the feeling of hiding behind the scenes and controlling the overall situation.
Essentially, it's boring.
Ji Yunlan snorted lightly: "He's so bored that he does something that harms the country and the people? Then he must be seriously ill."
Ji Yunshu felt that there were all kinds of people in the world, and it was not surprising that some people who grew up in the palace had mental illnesses.
"Brother, the military supply problem will be solved in a few days, but those people may have other tricks up their sleeves, so don't let your guard down while you're in the army."
Ji Yunlan found that his sister had indeed grown more sensible, and said with relief: "I know that Daddy has been investigating spies these days. We suspect that there is more than one Madam Qi who has access to high-ranking military officials."
Ji Yunshu had also thought about this. Madam Qi was discovered too timely, but according to the later plot of the novel, after his father's death, Zhao Heng was able to take over the military power so smoothly. Someone must have helped him stabilize the situation.
That person couldn't be Madam Qi.
After all, she was just a woman, and without General Qi's involvement, she had no ability to influence the army.
After General Qi learned what his wife had done, he left with his two children.
He was indeed unaware.
Ji Yunshu sighed a little and couldn't help but remind him: "I don't understand military affairs, you and Dad must be careful."
