Chapter 575: Who seduces whom?
When Zhao Shen came back, covered in moisture, Ji Yunshu had already fallen asleep.
Looking at the person whose cheeks are still a little red and who is sleeping peacefully.
His restless heart finally calmed down.
He held the person in his arms and soon fell into a deep sleep.
It was already the middle of the night, snow was falling outside, and the whole city was silent and dark.
There were still people awake in an inconspicuous courtyard in the city.
An oil lamp was lit in the room, and the dim light illuminated a face that was originally quite handsome, but seemed a little distorted by anger.
"You mean Zhao Shen returned early? And none of the people we sent out returned?"
Although his tone was relatively calm, it carried a chilling air.
The person kneeling below shuddered in his heart and had to reply, "Yes."
Lin Huixue took a deep breath: "Where is Ji Yunshu? Is he dead or alive?"
He brought personal grudges with him this time. The prince had completely retreated into the shadows, and the source of all their failed plans was Zhao Shen and Ji Yunshu.
It would be best if he could capture Ji Yunshu alive, but if that wasn't possible, he wouldn't mind killing him directly.
Anyway, he, Zhao Shen and Ji Yunshu are in an enemy position, and it's either you die or I live.
This time he invested heavily, not only using the puppets left by Zhebie, but also sending out two top masters.
That was given by the prince to save his life.
But now, none of these people have returned.
Ji Changlin was not at home, and Ji Yunlan injured his leg again. He also thought of ways to delay Zhao Shen, but despite such a good opportunity, he still failed to catch Ji Yunshu.
The person kneeling on the ground was so afraid of disturbing him that he even breathed, and replied cautiously: "None of our people have come out. We don't know the situation of the General's Mansion yet."
Because an assassin suddenly broke in, the general's mansion is now heavily guarded and anyone who gets close will be discovered.
They suffered heavy losses this time and dared not take any more risks.
"waste……"
The teacup in Lin Huixue's hand fell heavily on the table, the porcelain shattered, and the tea flowed out through the cracks, dripping onto the ground along the table.
The room was so quiet that the sound was particularly clear.
After Lin Huixue's anger subsided, she gradually came to her senses: "What else?"
The people below replied: "Ji Yunlan suddenly arrested a lot of us."
Lin Huixue was stunned for a moment: "How many did you catch?"
"Only one in ten of our men in Wuning remains."
Lin Huixue was somewhat incredulous: "How is this possible? How were those people discovered? Is there a traitor?"
They have special methods of training people, so the possibility of traitors is not high, but it is not impossible.
The man shook his head: "It's not clear yet."
Lin Huixue couldn't help but want to curse, but he had calmed down and now had to think about how to deal with the aftermath.
If the prince knew that he had lost so many people and still failed to accomplish his goal, he could just die.
Lin Huixue was silent for a long time. Zhao Shen had already returned. With him around, it was almost impossible to touch Ji Yunshu.
Just when the people below were kneeling until their legs were numb and they didn't know whether to stand up, they heard Lin Huixue ask again: "Where is Cen Xi?"
"Miss Cen?" The subordinate was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized, "Miss Cen stayed in Wuning for a few days and then left. She should be in the capital now."
Lin Huixue said: "Find out where she is. I want to see her as soon as possible."
Ji Yunshu didn't know that Lin Huixue had not given up on her. When she woke up, she found herself lying in Zhao Shen's arms.
Thinking about how I fell asleep while waiting for others last night, I couldn't help but laugh.
Zhao Shen woke up as soon as she moved. He opened his eyes and saw her smiling, and his mood improved: "What good thing happened to you that makes you so happy?"
Ji Yunshu poked his chest with his finger: "Isn't it worth being happy to see you when I wake up?"
I didn't feel anything when we were together, but these days when he left, I felt empty when I slept alone.
Zhao Shen kissed her forehead: "Well, it's something worth being happy about."
He had just woken up, and his voice was still a little hoarse. Ji Yunshu blushed and her heart beat fast when she heard it: "Why did you seduce me so early in the morning?"
Zhao Shen turned over and pressed her down, his arms supporting her sides. "Who seduced whom? You're so good at turning the tables."
Ji Yunshu wanted to argue, but his mouth was blocked by him.
It was almost noon when the two got up and washed up.
It snowed all night last night, but the sun came out today.
The sunlight shone in through the window, a little dazzling. Ji Yunshu raised his hand to block it and said, "I didn't expect it to be such a nice day."
The weather after snow is usually very cold, and Ji Yunshu has already planned not to go out all day.
But it’s rare to have such nice sunshine in winter, and it would be a pity not to go out and bask in it.
Zhao Shen noticed that she kept looking outside and reminded her, "Don't be fooled by the bright sunshine outside. It's actually very cold. Be careful not to catch a cold."
Ji Yunshu felt that her current physical condition was pretty good, but if she got sick, not only would the medicine be unpalatable, it might also be incurable, and she didn't want to suffer that.
So after the meal, I would curl up on the couch and read storybooks.
The customs of the people in the north are completely different from those in the capital, and the storybooks are not limited to the love stories between young men from wealthy families and young ladies. They are more about people in the martial arts world doing justice, and there are also some strange and unusual stories, such as encountering fox spirits and yellow fairies in the mountains.
The writing style of the storybook is very good, and it seems very realistic. Ji Yunshu read it with great interest and couldn't help asking Zhao Shen if this could be true?
Zhao Shen advised her in a cryptic way, "A scholar does not speak of strange things. Would you like to read some classics, history, and miscellaneous works?"
It's no wonder he wanted to complain. Ji Yunshu really had too little knowledge of history and culture, and didn't know a lot of common sense.
Ji Yunshu was not ashamed of it. In this era, many women were illiterate. Wasn't it normal for them not to know those things?
The original owner was not a top student.
She started to act unreasonably: "Do you dislike me?"
Zhao Shen: "I don't have any."
Ji Yunshu: "Then why are you asking me to read classics, history, and literature? What kind of girl would read those?"
Zhao Shen: "You learned this before in the palace."
When he said that, Ji Yunshu remembered that when the original owner was young, he had attended classes with the emperor.
It seemed that Zhao Shen was there at that time.
She realized belatedly that they were actually classmates when they were very young.
However, the original owner was really not interested in those things, and she couldn't keep up with the progress of the tutor.
It was impossible to ask the emperor and his tutor to accommodate her progress. Besides, she didn't like studying, so she only went for a few days and then stopped.
Ji Yunshu moved closer to Zhao Shen and whispered in her ear, "You broke off the engagement so readily. Is it because you think I'm stupid and don't like to study?"
She was too close, and the heat from her breath splashed on his face, causing Zhao Shen to blush unconsciously. He pulled her into his arms and said, "You come to provoke me in broad daylight?"
Ji Yunshu widened his eyes: "It wasn't just this morning..."
Zhao Shen covered her mouth and pressed towards her.
A playful smile flashed in Ji Yunshu's eyes. This man looked cold and aloof, but in fact he was not easily teased.
