Chapter 56: Suspicion of Zhao Shen
Seeing that he was going to take a picture of Zhao Shen's injured shoulder, Ji Yunshu quickly pulled Zhao Shen's wheelchair back to avoid his outstretched hand.
Xiao Kun narrowed his eyes as he watched Ji Yunshu's actions: "Sister Ji, what are you doing?"
Ji Yunshu said dissatisfiedly: "Just talk, why are you touching me?"
Xiao Kun laughed and said, "Brother Zhao didn't say anything, but you have an opinion. You are still like this even after getting married. You used to call me Brother Kun when you saw me."
He deliberately prolonged the three words "Brother Kun", which made it seem a little ambiguous for some reason.
Ji Yunshu rolled his eyes and said, "You know I'm married, and you still say such things. How old was I then?"
This person still has the nerve to say that when he was a child, he deliberately let the little rabbit raised by the original owner run away, causing the original owner to cry non-stop.
He insisted that the original owner call him Brother Kun before he would help find the rabbit.
I've really hated it since I was a kid.
Xiao Kun didn't know what he was thinking about. He snorted and said, "What a heartless girl."
Ji Yunshu was too lazy to pay attention to him. Zhao Shen frowned and said, "I wonder if Prince Yong has any advice?"
"What do you mean by 'see you, Master?' I haven't seen you for a few years, and you're still as annoying as ever."
Xiao Kun glanced outside and said, "I just wanted to see if the sun would rise from the west today. You actually went out. I remember the last time I saw you go out, it was..."
When Zhao Shen's leg was not broken.
Although he didn't say this out loud, everyone present knew what he meant.
Ji Yunshu glared at him and said, "You're the annoying one. My husband can go out whenever he wants. What's it got to do with you?"
Xiao Kun found a chair nearby and sat down before saying, "This is really none of my business. I'm just curious, how did someone as unlettered as you end up living with our top scholar?"
Ji Yunshu said with a smile: "My husband is handsome. Just looking at this face can make me eat a few more bowls of rice. He has a nice voice too. I love to listen to him even when he recites scriptures to me. I feel happy every day when I open my eyes and see him."
Xiao Kun stroked his forehead and said, "You can actually say such things. It seems that the older you get, the more shameless you become."
"Why am I shameless when I praise my husband?"
Ji Yunshu rolled his eyes and said, "Why are you curious about this? Could it be that you've taken a fancy to some talented woman and want to learn from me?"
Xiao Kun sneered, "I'm just a playboy, how could I possibly afford a talented woman? Speaking of talented women, who in the capital can compare to Miss Chuchu, the top courtesan of Yihong Courtyard?"
"Prince, be careful with your words."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Shen spoke in a cold voice.
Xiao Kun gave Ji Yunshu a bored expression and said with a curled lip, "I don't know why you like such an old-fashioned person."
Zhao Shen stroked his fingers and said calmly, "You are not a fish, so how can you know the joy of a fish? If the prince has nothing else to do, my wife and I will leave first."
Xiao Kun glanced at Zhao Shen in surprise. "Are you unhappy? You're actually unhappy. I thought you were a deity, free from all emotions."
"Your Highness is joking."
Zhao Shen said this, but his face showed no emotion, neither sadness nor joy.
It was as if a pure immortal had really descended to earth.
Maybe it was because he had been pretending for too long, but Xiao Kun's words and actions really did act like an uneducated and uncultured dandy. However, Ji Yunshu, who knew the plot, did not dare to be careless in front of him.
If you think about it carefully, this person is actually the biggest winner of this book.
After Prince Yong succeeded in his rebellion, he was made the crown prince.
If nothing unexpected happens, the throne should be his in the end.
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "It seems that my husband and the prince are not familiar with each other at all. There is really nothing much to say. We should leave."
Xiao Kun didn't stop him this time, and said to Zhao Shen enthusiastically: "Come and play with me often when you have time. We'll become familiar with each other after playing a few more times."
Ji Yunshu said angrily, "The tone you use, if you don't know anyone, you'd think you're a prostitute entertaining a client. My husband doesn't want to play with you. You don't want to learn all your bad habits."
Xiao Kun said unconcernedly, "You're a bit too jealous. Let me tell you, the more closely you watch a man, the less honest he becomes. It's still okay when he's at home, but who knows what he does outside?"
"My husband is at home every day, who is like you?"
Ji Yunshu said this angrily and pushed Zhao Shen away.
Zhao Shen had no objection to her words from beginning to end.
When they got downstairs, Xiao Kun stood by the window, watching Zhao Shen being carried by Jingzhe into the carriage, which slowly drove away.
Then he asked his subordinates thoughtfully: "Have you figured out anything?"
The people around him looked puzzled and asked, "There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with Prince Zhao. He can't even move his legs. Why do you suspect him?"
Xiao Kun twirled the fan in his hand and said with a deep look in his eyes, "I can't really explain why, I just feel it's a little strange."
"What do you think is strange, Master?"
"I know Miss Ji's personality very well. Do you think someone like her could really fall for a cripple?"
There are many noble ladies in the capital, some of them are from royal families, some are noble, some have real power in their families, and their relationships are complicated.
But in reality, few people can really compare to Ji Yunshu.
Even though Yao was determined to marry Wei Yuanmin to Zhao Heng, she wanted to use her status as a princess to suppress Ji Yunshu.
But it just sounds like that.
Wei Yuanmin's father, the current Duke of Wei, has lost all real power since he married the princess. He himself has no talent, and there has been no talented person in his family for two generations.
Princess Taining is just a princess in title. Although she is the emperor's aunt, because she and Prince Yong are born of the same mother, her relationship with the current emperor is only superficial.
How could a Wei Yuanmin compare with Ji Yunshu, whose father and brother held military power and who had the support of the empress dowager in the palace?
The subordinate said, "Haven't we already investigated the matter of the Marquis of Changxing's Mansion? It's definitely true that Miss Ji is jealous. Prince Zhao has difficulty walking, so whether he can consummate the marriage is still unknown. Naturally, there can't be another woman."
Xiao Kun sneered at this and said, "You might think so, but since the Ji family has accepted this result, there is no way Zhao Shen will have any problems. How could the Ji family let their daughter be a widow?"
The subordinate also laughed: "What about Prince Zhao?"
Speaking of this, Xiao Kun's smile faded a little: "I always feel that something is wrong. Keep people watching."
The subordinate nodded in response.
Ji Yunshu still felt creepy even when she sat in the carriage. The more perfect Xiao Kun's performance was, the more dangerous it made her feel.
She couldn't help but ask Zhao Shen: "Does he suspect you?"
If Xiao Kun had really slapped Zhao Shen as soon as he entered the door, it would have hit Zhao Shen's injured area.
His wound has not healed yet, and even if the force is not too strong, it will easily split open.
When the blood comes out, the truth will be revealed.
Zhao Shen didn't know what he was thinking. He came back to his senses after hearing her words. He looked at Ji Yunshu and smiled, "Aren't you also suspicious of him?"
Before, Ji Yunshu had never associated the Hall of Yama with Prince Yong's family.
She, the Prince of Yong, did not feel that there was any need for the Prince of Yong or the Prince of Yong to assassinate her.
