Chapter 561: Deep Love between Brother and Sister
Yin Ye gently reminded: "Our relationship with Master Xiao is not that good, right?"
If it were in the past, she would have said with certainty that her wife had no relationship with Xiao Kun at all, and her wife was even hostile to Xiao Kun.
But recently, Xiao Kun suddenly came to Wuning for some unknown reason and sneaked into the lady's room twice.
She didn't know what the two of them said, but she could feel that the lady's attitude towards Xiao Kun seemed different.
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "It has nothing to do with friendship. He has helped me a lot. I can't just ignore his life or death."
Yin Ye couldn't help but mutter, "He and Prince Yong are father and son after all. Prince Yong wouldn't want to kill him, would he?"
She knew that Xiao Kun had done some things that went against Prince Yong's will, but they were father and son after all. Moreover, from an ordinary person's point of view, it was not right for Prince Yong to send the young Xiao Kun to the capital.
Especially when he really has rebellious intentions.
Ji Yunshu shook his head, his expression somewhat solemn: "If Prince Yong really knew what Xiao Kun had done, he would definitely kill him."
Yin Ye didn't know why she said that so confidently, but when she thought about how Prince Yong might have given up on his son when he first sent Xiao Kun to the capital, she didn't find it strange.
Ji Yunshu ordered, "Try to find him. But it doesn't matter if you can't find him. The emperor will definitely not let Prince Yong go anyway."
Yin Ye nodded. "Prince Yong not only plotted treason, but also colluded with the people of Mobei. Once these charges are established, he will have no chance of recovery. It should be easier to deal with him in the future."
Ji Yunshu disagreed. "If he had fled in a panic, it would have been easier to deal with him later. But all of this was part of his plan. He had already prepared a way out. Honestly, it would have been better if he continued to stir up trouble. If he simply found a place to hide, we'd probably never find him."
She had a vague feeling that rather than ascending the throne directly, Prince Yong probably preferred the feeling of hiding behind the scenes, strategizing and controlling the overall situation.
This may also be the reason why he has been patient for many years and has never taken action.
He remembered that Zhao Shen once said that the best time for Prince Yong was during the early years of the Emperor's ascension to the throne.
Although King Yong was not prepared at that time, since he had to take this step, his chances of winning were actually greater than they are now.
Yin Ye didn't know much about Prince Yong. She only just realized that they had been against Prince Yong for so long but had never even met this prince.
"If you say to find someone, then go ahead and find someone. If Prince Yong doesn't behave himself, we'll have to confront him sooner or later."
She didn't even know that the Madam was fine, so why should she worry about comforting Prince Yong.
I always feel that the prince will be unhappy if he finds out.
With the defeat of Prince Yong in the capital, the war with Mobei began to enter a stalemate.
The people of Mobei did not withdraw their troops, and the people of Youzhou remained on high alert.
But the fighting was obviously not as intense as before.
One day, after Ji Yunshu finished dinner and was thinking about whether to go to bed early, news came from outside that Ji Yunlan had returned.
She immediately put on a thick cloak and went out to greet him.
Although people tell her about the outside world every day, some of the news is not necessarily true.
She had heard the news that Ji Yunlan was injured before, and she felt uneasy when she couldn't see him.
Ji Yunlan had lost some weight and had an indescribable sharpness about him.
Ji Yunshan carefully looked him up and down several times, but didn't see anything unusual. Then he asked, "Didn't you say brother was injured? Where is he injured? Is it serious?"
Ji Yunlan was almost exhausted after rushing back. Seeing her coming, he was too lazy to move. He sat on the chair and said with a smile: "I was shot in the leg, but it's not a fatal injury. It's almost healed."
Ji Yunshu didn't believe his nonsense. Being shot in the leg might not be fatal, but if he wasn't careful he would be disabled.
She said angrily, "You were a good young general, but now you become a cripple. What will happen? No girl will be willing to marry you."
Ji Yunlan said nonchalantly, "You were willing to marry Zhao Shen even though his leg was broken. Am I not better than him?"
Ji Yunshu felt that this sounded familiar, and couldn't help but ask, "Why are they all comparing themselves to Zhao Shen?"
Ji Yunlan narrowed his eyes: "Who else can compete with Zhao Shen?"
Ji Yunshu quickly changed the subject: "No one, are your injuries really not serious?"
She felt that if he was still able to fight, he would not be sent back to recuperate.
Ji Yunlan moved his legs. "I'm injured and it's a little inconvenient to move. The doctor told me to take good care of myself. It's nothing serious. But the war isn't that urgent right now, so it's okay for me to come back."
Ji Yunshu held his chin and asked, "You mean, Mobei wants to cease fire?"
Ji Yunlan said, "It's hard to say. It's just that the weather is too cold now. This kind of climate is really not suitable for fighting. Not only the people of Mobei, but also our soldiers may not want to fight."
Ji Yunshu recounted the story of Wujina's visit to her: "I think she wants to protect Bilige, but she's not willing to pay any price. Bilige refuses to cease fighting, what exactly does he want to do?"
Ji Yunlan didn't know about Wujina's stay in Wuning yet. He was stunned for a moment before saying, "They truly have a deep brotherly and sisterly bond. If you ask me, Bilige is dragging his feet and not actively fighting or surrendering. He's probably just waiting to die. When I came back, his health was so poor that he couldn't even leave the house."
Ji Yunshu was not surprised, as Bilige had said in person that he would not live long.
She could tell he wasn't lying.
The current situation is not favorable for Mobei. The war was initiated by Bilige. He and Wujina are still enemies on the surface. As long as he dies and Wujina distances herself from the matter, the matter will be over.
Now Wujina wants him to live.
No wonder Ji Yunlan said that they had a deep brother-sister relationship.
"Brother, you don't seem surprised at all that Wujina wants to protect Bilige. Have you known for a long time that they are not enemies?"
Ji Yunlan said, "After all, I've dealt with the people of Mobei more often. Many of their previous stories don't make sense at all. You probably don't understand the strength of the Ulan Tribe of Mobei. Without their support, the former King of Mobei wouldn't have been able to ascend the throne. So if Wujina really wanted to get rid of Bilige, he wouldn't be alive today."
Ji Yunshu understood what he meant. In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy or trickery would be useless.
The Queen of Mobei and Wujina have absolute power in their hands, a power that even the former King of Mobei would be wary of.
How could Bilige, a sick man who was about to die, survive from their hands?
This doesn't make sense at all.
Ji Yunshu propped up his chin with one hand and couldn't help asking, "And what else? Didn't you notice anything wrong between them?"
Ji Yunlan shook his head. "I haven't seen how they get along, so how can I find anything wrong? But I heard that Bilige had a hard time when he was little and was often bullied. It was Wujina who saved him, so he should be grateful."
