Chapter 598: To Put the Blame on Others
Ji Yunshu looked incredulous. "You don't know, one time when my father and brother left the capital, I cried and begged them to take me with them, but they refused. Humph, this place may not be as prosperous as the capital, but I'm imprisoned in the palace. What does the prosperity of the capital have to do with me?"
Wujina sighed, "Yes, everyone envies the wealth of the palace, but who knows that it is actually the most desolate place."
Ji Yunshu seemed to come to his senses suddenly: "Why are we talking about this? Since you are worried about the Fifth Prince, you should go back soon. The important thing is the peace talks. No one will find fault with you over these trivial matters."
Wujina said gratefully, "Thank you very much."
So not long after the dinner started, he hurriedly said goodbye and left.
Ji Yunshu watched her leave, feeling inexplicably uneasy.
The protagonist is gone, and the others have left one after another.
When most of the people had left, Ji Yunshu asked Zhao Shen, "Is nothing going to happen?"
Zhao Shen smiled and said, "What do you think could happen?"
Ji Yunshu shook his head: "I always feel that Wu Rina is a little strange today."
Zhao Shen looked at the dark night sky, his eyes dark, "This peace talk is doomed to fail."
Ji Yunshu: “…”
Of course she knew this, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
So when she heard someone report that Wujina was intercepted and killed on the way back to the embassy and was missing, she was a little overwhelmed.
Ji Yunlan spoke first, "No wonder those innocuous rumors were spread before, saying that we were not sincere in the negotiations. It turns out they were just trying to frame someone."
Ji Yunshu thought of the rumors that Cen Xi had told her before. She had not taken them seriously at the time. In Zhao Shen's words, the peace talks were doomed to go smoothly, so it was nothing surprising to have some rumors.
So that was just foreshadowing?
She asked Zhao Shen: "What happened to Wujina?"
She knew that Zhao Shen had sent people to follow Wujina.
Zhao Shen shook his head: "The person is indeed missing. Whether it was forced or voluntary is not clear at the moment."
Ji Yunshu looked at his emotionless face and felt that he didn't seem surprised by such a thing.
"So what do we do next?"
Zhao Shen instructed the person who came to report the news, "Find someone."
Ji Yunshu: “…”
But if you think about it carefully, this seems to be the only thing they can do right now.
After everyone left, Ji Yunshu was still in a daze.
She felt that the matter was a bit strange. Since Wujina came to Wuning, she has been a key protected person.
I don’t know how many people are watching me, both openly and secretly.
I brought a lot of people to the banquet today.
Despite such heavy defense, the person actually disappeared.
This sounds like a joke.
But she also knew that the person must have really disappeared.
Zhao Shen waved his hand in front of her eyes: "What are you thinking about?"
Ji Yunshu looked up at him. He was still the same as before, as if the disappearance of the Queen of Mobei in Wuning was not a big deal.
She couldn't help but ask, "Is Wujina's disappearance related to you?"
Zhao Shen chuckled. "You're already suspecting me? What do you think this has to do with me?"
Ji Yunshu lowered his eyes: "I don't know, but I don't think anyone can make someone disappear under your nose."
Zhao Shen sighed, but ultimately said nothing: "You guessed partly right, it's indeed related to me, but this is also what Wujina agreed to. Ah Shu, everyone has weaknesses and soft spots. As long as you can find them, some things are not difficult to accomplish."
Ji Yunshu instantly understood what he wanted to say: "Prince Yong can threaten her, so can you. Now it seems that you have a greater chance of winning."
Zhao Shen rubbed her head and said, "Well, if you have time, you can go see Cen Xi. Isn't she about to leave?"
Ji Yunshu: "Is this related to Lin Huixue? Haven't you been keeping an eye on him?"
A dangerous person like Lin Huixue naturally cannot be relaxed at any time.
But she hadn't heard any movement from the other party these days.
Zhao Shen smiled and said, "Lin Huixue is not that easy to keep an eye on. He can always accomplish what he wants to do."
Ji Yunshu didn't know what he was talking about, but since he didn't tell her, she didn't bother to ask.
The next day when she went to the inn to find Cen Xi, Lin Huixue was not there.
Cen Xi was packing his things, packing his luggage in big and small bags.
When he heard Ji Yunshu coming, he immediately welcomed her into his room.
Ji Yunshu asked, "Are you planning to leave? When will you leave?"
Cen Xi smiled and said, "I was planning to leave tomorrow. I was just planning to go to the General's Mansion to find you and say goodbye to you, and you just happened to come. This is really a coincidence."
Ji Yunshu said, "I remember you said you were leaving in the next few days. The city is not peaceful right now, and I'm worried, so I came to see you."
Cen Xi: "Are you talking about the disappearance of the King of Mobei? It's indeed a bit strange, but no one would target an ordinary person like me."
Ji Yunshu laughed and said, "That's not necessarily true. You're an ordinary citizen, but you're rich. There are always robbers on the road, not to mention your current relationship with Lin Huixue. If someone really wants to harm you, he may not be able to protect you."
Lin Huixue is Prince Yong's confidant. Based on Prince Yong's character, Ji Yunshu felt that he might be able to use Cen Xi to control Lin Huixue.
As for Lin Huixue, Ji Yunshu now suspected that he was deliberately developing such a relationship with Cen Xi in order to let people know that he had a weakness.
Now Cen Xi is the weak point and is very dangerous.
Ji Yunshu was upset that she realized it too late. She should have thought of it earlier.
Who is Lin Huixue? Why would she cooperate with Cen Xi for no reason?
She looked at Cen Xi with a complicated expression. She chose to respect Cen Xi's own choice, but was this choice really what she wanted?
Cen Xi smiled and said, "I brought guards with me. The average robbers are no match for me. As for the others, I know what to do with them."
After hearing what she said, Ji Yunshu said, "In that case, you should leave as soon as possible."
Cen Xi grabbed her hand and asked, "Are you really not going with me?"
Ji Yunshu shook his head: "My family is here, I won't feel at ease if I leave."
It's not just Zhao Shen, but also her father and brother. If something happens to them, Ji Yunshu will lose the meaning of her life in this world.
Cen Xi was silent for a moment before he whispered, "Lin Huixue is also looking for the Queen of Mobei."
Ji Yunshu nodded. It was impossible for Lin Huixue not to be on guard against Cen Xi, so what she knew might be false.
Of course, Ji Yunshu didn't expect to get accurate information from Cen Xi.
It is too dangerous to stay in Wuning at this time. It is the best choice for Cen Xi to leave now.
"Then you should leave early. I wish you a safe journey."
Cen Xi shook her hand and said, "Thank you very much. I know you are doing this for my own good. You should also be careful."
Not long after Ji Yunshu said goodbye and left, Lin Huixue came back.
He smiled and said to Cen Xi, "She really cares about you. She even thought of coming to see you at this time."
Cen Xi said indifferently, "I have helped her a lot after all. Besides, we are not plants or trees. Isn't it normal to care about our friends?"
