Chapter 597 I don’t like you caring about Xiao Kun
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but look at Zhao Shen: "This is why you set up obstacles for the peace talks. They are never trustworthy."
Zhao Shen remained noncommittal and said, "Regardless of whether they are trustworthy or not, people always prioritize themselves over others. Prince Yong's Mansion has many ways to control people. How could Wujina and Bilige escape so easily?"
When he said this, his expression was a little cold, and Ji Yunshu felt that he was a little strange for a moment.
Zhao Shen didn't know what was on his mind. He lowered his eyes and looked at the teacup in his hand, with an indescribable darkness in his eyes.
Ji Yunshu suddenly realized that Zhao Shen had never actually believed in Mo Bei.
What Wujina would do was not important to him at all.
She couldn't describe her mood at the moment. It seemed that she would be invincible if she stood with Zhao Shen, but his mind was so deep that she seemed to never be able to guess what he was thinking.
She looked at Zhao Shen and asked bluntly, "Why are you unhappy?"
Zhao Shen paused holding the teacup: "Do you really want to know?"
Ji Yunshu nodded. She didn't like to drag things out. Since she had asked, she naturally had to get things clear.
Although she could vaguely guess something, she hoped Zhao Shen would say it himself.
Zhao Shen looked at her eyes that could clearly distinguish black and white, and suddenly felt sad.
How could he explain his dark thoughts?
After a long while, he suddenly smiled and said, "I don't like you caring about Xiao Kun."
"Yeah?"
Ji Yunshu looked at the smile that didn't reach his eyes and whispered softly.
Zhao Shen pulled her into his arms: "Yeah, I don't like you caring about anyone other than me."
Ji Yunshu leaned into his arms obediently, and his heartbeat seemed to be a little faster.
Is it because I'm lying, or because I'm afraid she won't believe me?
Ji Yunshu didn't think she could ask something Zhao Shen didn't want to say, so she nodded. "So you don't like my father and brother either, you don't like Cen Xi and Qian Qian, you don't even like Bai Ling and Yin Ye, is that right?"
Zhao Shen gently stroked Ji Yunshu's long hair with his fingers and said lightly, "Yes."
Ji Yunshu suddenly felt at a loss for words, and her unintentional words hit the nail on the head.
"Ashu, after we return to Beijing this time, let's live a good life."
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "I have always lived a good life."
No matter why she came here, she was going to live her life again. Even if she died, she would die on the way to a good life.
She has always eaten well and slept well, and has never wasted her time.
Zhao Shen nodded: "I know, but from now on, you have to take me with you and include me in your plans."
Ji Yunshu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but pinch his white jade cheek: "Is this why you are unhappy? Zhao Shen, are you childish?"
Zhao Shen just looked at her quietly without saying anything.
Ji Yunshu didn't think she was bullying anyone: "This is not fair. I'm not part of your plan, am I?"
She knew why Zhao Shen brought her to Wuning, because he didn't think he could get rid of the poison in his body, so he wanted to entrust her to his father and brother.
In Zhao Shen's world, he has always been a person who could die at any time.
Zhao Shen hugged Ji Yunshu tightly in his arms: "This is different."
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "There's nothing different, Zhao Shen. When you figure it out, come and tell me about this, okay?"
Zhao Shen held her tightly and didn't let go. After a long while, he whispered, "Okay."
Ji Yunshu was not surprised by his reaction. Even though he knew that Zhao Shen was not as gentle as he appeared, he had never gone against her wishes.
"So, what happened to Xiao Kun?"
Since he used this matter as a shield, she naturally had to ask for clarification.
Zhao Shen smiled bitterly, "You really don't want to suffer any loss. Xiao Kun is in the hands of Prince Yong. Prince Yong now understands his abilities and will not kill him. He is a smart man and knows what is best for him."
Xiao Kun will be fine.
Ji Yunshu should have been relieved to get such an answer.
But when she thought about the night when Xiao Kun came to say goodbye to her and said very nonchalantly that he was going to see the outside world, Ji Yunshu couldn't help feeling sad.
King Yong's lust for power and ambition were like a quagmire that trapped everyone inside. No matter how hard they struggled, they could not escape.
A surge of anger suddenly rose in her heart: "Is this peace talk between Daxia and Mobei important to Prince Yong?"
Zhao Shen noticed her change in mood, and his eyelashes drooped slightly as he thought of something. "For Prince Yong, the chess piece has been moved. Winning or losing may not be a big deal."
Ji Yunshu looked at Zhao Shen: "Is it the same for you?"
How could a person who could accurately express King Yong’s thoughts be a good person?
Zhao Shen nodded: "Well, I will do what I can, and the rest depends on God's will."
Ji Yunshu was speechless for a moment. Only then did she understand that Zhao Shen actually didn't have much love for this world.
No wonder he didn't think he could get rid of the poison in his body. Perhaps deep down, he didn't think living was such a good thing.
Even if she exists in this world.
Three days later, Ji Yunshu personally hosted a welcoming banquet to welcome the Mobei delegation.
Bilige was absent due to poor health, and Wujina did not look well.
Ji Yunshu was a little puzzled. Wujina had hardly gone out these days, and nothing should have happened. What did she mean by acting like this?
Ji Yunshu didn't think that someone like Wu Rina would be unable to control her emotions.
She asked with concern: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Wujina shook her head: "It's nothing, maybe it's because of the unfamiliar climate. Bilige is sick, and I'm a little worried."
"The weather has been a bit cold recently, and he's weak, so it's normal for him to get sick. Why are you so worried?"
"You don't know, his body is really weak. Even a small cold could kill him."
Ji Yunshu didn't expect this to happen, but when he recalled Bilige's appearance when he saw him before, he seemed to be in much better shape even though the poison in his body had been cured.
But compared to normal people, he is indeed visibly weak.
Ji Yunshu was surprised: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? If I had known, I wouldn't have chosen today to hold the dinner party."
Wujina shook her head: "We can't postpone it any longer. This time I came here to bring about a quick resolution and sign the contract as soon as possible. Otherwise, Bilige will worry about this matter all day long, which will not be good for his health."
Ji Yunshu: "But the contract won't be settled anytime soon, right? Does Mobei intend to compromise unconditionally?"
Wujina said sincerely, "I've thought it through. I can agree to any condition that's not too extreme. Mobei can't afford the war anymore. I have no other choice."
"If that's the case, then it's easy to talk about. Then you should talk as soon as possible. I'm also anxious to return to the capital. I've been away for half a year, and I don't know what the capital is like."
Wujina said, "Don't you want to be with your family? General Ji should be very willing to have you stay here."
Ji Yunshu complained, "No way, he left me alone in the capital since I was a child, so it's obvious that he didn't think much of me."
Wujina smiled and said, "The general is worried that you will suffer here. After all, this place is really no match for the capital."
