Chapter 536: A Wrong Step
What Liu Yan confessed was shocking, but in Ji Yunshu's eyes, that was not the most important thing.
Most importantly, she vaguely revealed her real master.
Dark Chamber.
Ji Yunshu felt that Xiao Kun had played a really good game of chess. He even turned King Yong's chess piece into his own without anyone knowing.
No wonder he was the final winner in the original book.
Xiao Kun smiled and said, "The information from the Dark Chamber is worth a lot of money. It's worth General Ji's life. I wonder what price Ah Shu is willing to pay?"
Ji Yunshu also smiled: "Oh, you want to negotiate a deal with me? Then tell me what you want?"
Xiao Kun looked at her motionlessly: "You know."
Ji Yunshu drank the tea in the cup in one gulp and stood up without hesitation: "Sorry to bother you, goodbye."
After saying that, she walked out swiftly.
Xiao Kun couldn't help but ask, "Zhao Shenming knew Wu Ning was in danger, but he still kept you here. In your heart, is he more important than your father?"
Ji Yunshu stopped and looked back: "Do you know what you are doing?"
Xiao Kun said indifferently: "Whether you say I am taking advantage of someone's misfortune or kicking someone when they are down, Ah Shu, I gave him a chance. Whether it was Suzhou, Southern Xinjiang, or even Mobei, I helped you, but he didn't have the ability to protect you."
Ji Yunshu had to admit that he was right. No matter what Xiao Kun's original intention was, he did help her a lot.
Especially during those days in southern Xinjiang, if she hadn't had Yin Shu's personal protection, she really might not have come back alive.
But matters of the heart are not calculated that way.
"You've helped me, and I'm grateful, but that doesn't make me commit myself to you. My initial decision to marry Zhao Shen was indeed a matter of weighing the pros and cons, but not now. He is my husband, my love, and no matter what happens, I will face it with him."
A layer of scarlet flush appeared in Xiao Kun's eyes. He stood up suddenly and stopped Ji Yunshu when she was about to step out of the room.
"No, Ah Shu, don't say such things. How can you like someone else?"
Ji Yunshu was not panicked when he was stopped by him. He looked at his expression and felt that he had the signs of a mental breakdown.
She tried to keep her tone calm. "You've planned so many things, even Prince Yong is probably part of your calculations. You should know that not all chess pieces in this world will move according to plan and your wishes. Sometimes, a wrong move can lead to a different outcome than expected. You had a chance, but you just made a wrong move. Just consider the little girl who saved you dead."
Xiao Kun seemed shocked by her words and said anxiously, "But you're still alive. Even if you made a mistake, you still have a chance to correct it, right?"
When he spoke, his tone was urgent and his expression showed a strange pleading.
Ji Yunshu's heart moved. It wasn't that no one knew about her abnormality.
Zhao Shen must have guessed something, but he didn't care and wouldn't tell anyone else.
Yichen's master, Taoist Qingxu, is a mysterious person. Ji Yunshu feels that he must be a true master in this world, the kind who can see through the secrets of heaven.
He probably wouldn't tell anyone about his abnormality.
Another one is Zhebie, the chief of the Yuxi tribe in the southern border area.
Thinking of using his own body to hold the soul of his deceased wife, he knew that his soul did not belong in this body.
Moreover, Zhebie has a relationship with Prince Yong's Palace.
So is it possible for Xiao Kun to hear something from him?
Ji Yunshu thought it wouldn't hurt to test it out, so she said, "You've been paying attention to me all these years, right? You should know what kind of person I am and what I would do, right?"
Xiao Kun's expression became even uglier. He had been watching Ji Yunshu grow up since he was a child, and after he developed different thoughts about her, he paid even more attention to her.
Of course he knew what kind of person Ji Yunshu was.
Afterwards, he repeatedly reviewed what happened on her wedding night and found that there were actually many suspicious points.
As far as he knew, she had never investigated Zhao Heng's affairs before their marriage. So how did she accurately find Zhao Heng and Yao Ruolan entangled with each other that night?
Moreover, she grew up under the care of the empress dowager and was a very well-behaved person. It was unlikely that she would do something like running away on her own instead of waiting in the bridal chamber on her wedding night.
Finally, given her performance on her wedding night, if she had known about the affair between Zhao Heng and Yao Ruolan earlier, she would never have married Zhao Heng.
So we could only find out on the wedding night.
But he checked who was around her on her wedding night, and none of them had revealed any information about Zhao Heng to her.
She seemed to suddenly know about Zhao Heng and Yao Ruolan.
Is this reasonable?
Not to mention, she seemed like a completely different person since then.
Looking at his expression, Ji Yunshu knew that he must have doubted himself.
Taking advantage of his distraction, she broke free from Xiao Kun: "I don't know why you didn't take action when you knew Zhao Heng was not a good man. Now you can clearly help me, but you still choose to stand by and watch. Even if I agree to your conditions, what's the point? Compared to Zhao Shen, you are far inferior."
After saying that, she opened the door and walked out.
The cold wind blew in, and Xiao Kun seemed to sober up a little. He opened his mouth and uttered one word: "She..."
He seemed to not know what to say and paused there.
Ji Yunshu turned around and looked at him: "You are such a smart person, can't you guess why I want to marry Zhao Shen?"
At that time, Zhao Shen was not a good candidate for a husband in any way.
At least in the eyes of a normal noble lady, she would rather marry Zhao Heng, who has someone she loves, than choose Zhao Shen, who has a broken leg and no future.
After saying that, she was about to leave. As she stepped out of the courtyard, Xiao Kun finally said a name.
Ji Yunshu was not surprised at all, and without looking back, he walked straight out.
Xiao Kun felt a splitting headache and slid down to sit against the door frame.
Out of curiosity and worry, Yin Shu stayed outside.
Seeing Ji Yunshu leave, he entered the yard. He had good hearing and naturally heard the last name Xiao Kun said.
He thought Xiao Kun had gotten what he wanted and was about to say congratulations, but he didn't expect to see this scene as soon as he entered the yard.
He hurried to Xiao Kun's side and wanted to help him up.
But the person on the ground looked like he was about to break, so he didn't dare touch him. "What's wrong with you? Is the poison acting up again?"
Xiao Kun covered his head and recalled the words about Ji Yunshu in pain. The more he thought about it, the more painful his head became.
Yin Shu was so anxious that he was spinning around in circles. "Didn't the doctor tell you not to have too many emotional fluctuations? What did she say? Did she not like you? Then why did you tell her such an important secret?"
He had dealt with Ji Yunshu before, so he naturally knew her personality. She was the type of person who would speak without caring about other people's lives.
I just don’t know what she said to make Xiao Kun become like this.
