Chapter 580: You dare to poison us?
"In that case, she should be wary of you."
Ji Yunshu looked at Zhao Shen as he spoke. He had a gentle and elegant appearance, and he was wearing a white fox fur cloak without a trace of other colors. He looked particularly cold and noble.
Who would have thought that it was this man who looked like a weak scholar who would bring down the plans of Prince Yong and Mobei for many years.
She found that as long as Zhao Shen was around, she would feel particularly safe, so she looked at Zhao Shen with sparkling eyes.
Zhao Shen felt a little uncomfortable under her direct gaze. He was about to say something when he suddenly looked up at a certain place.
Ji Yunshu's eyes were on him, and she immediately noticed it and followed his gaze.
I saw that the window of a private room on the second floor of a restaurant not far away was open, and a figure was standing in front of the window, looking straight in their direction.
It turned out to be Lin Huixue.
Ji Yunshu was stunned for a moment before saying to Zhao Shen, "He's so unscrupulous! How many people has he kidnapped to think we wouldn't dare touch him?"
Zhao Shen's eyes met Lin Huixue, who made an open gesture of invitation.
Was it really intentional?
He smiled and said, "We don't need many people, as long as they can threaten us."
Ji Yunshu didn't understand what he meant for a moment. Seeing Lin Huixue's actions, he asked in confusion: "What does he mean? Does he have something to tell you?"
Zhao Shen took her hand and walked towards the restaurant: "It's nothing serious anyway, just go and take a look and you'll know."
When Ji Yunshu thought about Lin Huixue actually using the lives of ordinary people to threaten Zhao Shen, he felt as disgusted as if he had swallowed a fly.
I followed Zhao Shen into the restaurant. I didn’t know if it was because the war was over, but there were still quite a lot of customers.
It was obvious from the way Ji Yunshu and Zhao Shen were dressed that they came from extraordinary backgrounds. The waiter asked them attentively if they wanted a private room.
Zhao Shen directly told the waiter which private room Lin Huixue was in. The waiter didn't ask any more questions and took them directly to the private room on the second floor.
There was someone guarding the door of the private room. He looked at Zhao Shen and Ji Yunshu and let them in without saying anything.
The two entered the private room. Only Lin Huixue was inside. He had closed the window and sat in the main seat.
He looked at Zhao Shen for a few times and sighed, "The prince's luck is really enviable."
Ji Yunshu didn't know what Zhao Shen was envious of, and was too lazy to think about it, so he found a seat and sat down.
Seeing only a few cakes and tea on the table, he looked up and asked, "Aren't you going to treat us to dinner?"
Lin Huixue was a little surprised. He didn't think that his relationship with the couple was good enough to invite them to dinner.
"I dare to invite you, Madam, do you dare to eat?"
Ji Yunshu drank his tea nonchalantly: "Why not? Do you dare to poison us?"
Of course Lin Huixue didn't dare. Even if he wanted to kill these two people, he couldn't poison them in the restaurant.
If he did this, he didn't know whether Zhao Shen and Ji Yunshu would die, but he himself would definitely die.
He couldn't help but look at Zhao Shen.
Zhao Shen is not like Ji Yunshu. He does not show his emotions on his face. There is no expression on his face.
Seeing Lin Huixue looking at him, he simply said, "Sorry, we've been out for a while now and we're a little hungry."
Lin Huixue: “…”
He asked someone to call the waiter in and asked the couple what they wanted to eat.
Zhao Shen looked at Ji Yunshu, who said directly, "Bring us a portion of each of your chef's specialties, and a jar of good wine."
Only then did Lin Huixue notice a hint of disapproval on Zhao Shen's face.
Ji Yunshu naturally noticed it too. She pulled Zhao Shen's sleeve and pleaded, "It's too cold, I'll drink less. Besides, we won't be able to drink this good wine from Youzhou when we return to the capital."
Zhao Shen had never been principled towards her. He rubbed her head and said, "The wine here is strong, so drink less. If you like it, take some back when we leave."
Lin Huixue: “…”
What’s the difference between taking it back and drinking it here?
The two of them unanimously did not ask for his opinion as the host, and ordered the dishes in a few words.
Lin Huixue drank tea and watched the interaction between the couple, thinking that the person who could pose the greatest threat to Zhao Shen in the world must be Ji Yunshu.
It’s a pity that we paid such a huge price to capture Ji Yunshu, but still failed to catch him.
In the current situation, he is really in a passive position.
He was sure that Zhao Shen could not do anything to him, but at the same time, he would be tied up and unable to do anything.
If this continues, sooner or later there will be no place for him by the prince's side.
If he didn't say anything, Ji Yunshu and Zhao Shen would be even less likely to say anything. Anyway, they were not in a hurry.
Lin Huixue didn't regain his composure until the waiter came in with the dishes. He casually struck up a conversation with Zhao Shen, "It's almost the end of the year, and the prince hasn't left yet. Could it be that he wants to spend the New Year here?"
Zhao Shen picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks and carefully removed the bones from it while saying, "I came here on the emperor's orders. Naturally, I can't leave until my work is done. But Master Lin, is there anything that brings you to Wuning at this time?"
Lin Huixue watched him remove the fish bones gracefully, and then put the meat into Ji Yunshu's bowl very naturally.
Ji Yunshu started eating as usual.
He lowered his eyes to hide the emotion in them, then smiled and said, "Miss Cen and I are already engaged, and I've taken over some of the Cen family's businesses. This winter has been exceptionally cold, and now that the war between Daxia and Mobei is over, I thought this was a good opportunity to make some money, so I came to take a look."
Ji Yunshu lowered his eyes and thought, this is indeed a good opportunity. Not only in Mobei, the climate in the entire north is abnormally cold this year, and there is a severe shortage of warm supplies.
But she didn't think Cen Xi would hand over the family business to Lin Huixue.
Moreover, Cen Xi had just given a batch of things to the army, so he might not have any stock left.
She looked up at Lin Huixue and said, "Miss Cen left Wuning a few days ago. I haven't heard her say that she wants to do business here."
Lin Huixue explained, "When she left, the border was still being fought. She probably didn't expect it to end so soon. Now that this is a rare opportunity, I'm going to make the trip on her behalf."
Ji Yunshu nodded: "Is that so? Then will Miss Cen come too?"
A strange light flashed in Lin Huixue's eyes, and he smiled and said, "I sent her a letter a few days ago. If nothing unexpected happens, she will be here soon."
His words were somewhat certain, which meant that Cen Xi would most likely come.
Ji Yunshu didn't understand Lin Huixue's intention, so he lowered his head to eat again without saying anything.
Lin Huixue's eyes flashed with interest. "I heard that the military supplies allocated by the Ministry of Revenue to Youzhou a while ago have not arrived yet. If it weren't for the Cen family's help, I'm afraid it's hard to say what the situation would be like in Youzhou now. It seems that Madam has a good relationship with Miss Cen?"
Ji Yunshu looked up at him: "What do you want to say?"
Lin Huixue was well aware of the relationship between herself and Cen Xi.
This person's attempt to sow discord was not clever at all. Ji Yunshu suspected that he had ulterior motives in saying these things.
It has to be said that there is a reason why Lin Huixue is so highly regarded by King Yong.
He has good abilities, courage and scheming.
He was just a little bit unlucky, but his plans in the book should have been successful.
