Chapter 599: Return to the capital and wait for me
Lin Huixue hugged her and said, "Don't worry, she is a member of the inner house after all, she will be fine."
Cen Xi raised his eyes and smiled, "Thank you."
Lin Huixue stared at her and said, "I hope you don't blame me for dragging you into this. Leave as soon as possible. I'm afraid Wuning won't be at peace for a long time to come."
The disappearance of the Queen of Mobei will only be the beginning.
Cen Xi said considerately, "Ji Yunshu also told me this. She felt that I was dragged into these things because of her, but in fact, I knew from the beginning to the end that everything was my own will."
She looked at Lin Huixue with eyes full of affection, as if to say, everything I did was for you.
Facing such a look, Lin Huixue felt an indescribable complex emotion in her heart.
At the beginning, he chose to approach Cen Xi with ulterior motives, but he did not expect that their relationship would develop to this point.
When he kissed Cen Xi on New Year's Eve, he clearly felt his heartbeat out of control.
That's when he knew he was attracted to her.
Now that things have reached a critical moment, he can't let Cen Xi stay here.
Gently kissing Cen Xi's forehead, he whispered, "Go back to the capital and wait for me."
Cen Xi nodded: "You should take care of yourself too."
Lin Huixue was very busy these days and left again soon.
As soon as she left, the smile on Cen Xi's lips faded.
Ji Yunshu returned to the general's mansion and thought about Cen Xi's words again, making sure that she was telling him that Wu Rina was not in Lin Huixue's hands.
If Wujina was in Lin Huixue's hands, then he wouldn't need to look for anyone.
But if that's the case, where did Wujina go?
Did Prince Yong send other people to Wuning?
Zhao Shen went out for a day and came back after dark. Ji Yunshu saw that his expression was no different from usual and didn't know what he was planning.
She was about to speak, but then she thought she couldn't help much, so she stopped talking.
Instead, it was Zhao Shen who asked her: "What did Cen Xi tell you?"
Ji Yunshu repeated Cen Xi's words: "She doesn't seem to know anything. Lin Huixue asked her to leave as soon as possible. She has already packed her luggage and will leave tomorrow."
Zhao Shen smiled and said, "Do you think Lin Huixue is truly worried about Cen Xi's safety, or is she afraid that she will get in the way if she stays?"
Ji Yunshu thought for a moment and replied, "It's more likely that he'll get in the way. After all, Cen Xi and I have such a close relationship."
Seeing Zhao Shen frown, she added, "Maybe it's both. After all, they are an engaged couple."
Moreover, their relationship is closer than that of ordinary unmarried men and women, so they can't be completely unconcerned.
Zhao Shen was helpless: "Lin Huixue may not be as ruthless as you think."
"Do you know Lin Huixue well?"
Ji Yunshu was curious.
Zhao Shen said, "We've dealt with each other so many times, so I have some understanding of him. Lin Huixue is indeed as cold-blooded and ruthless as you imagined, but it is precisely because of this that his decision to let Cen Xi leave is so special."
Ji Yunshu understood that a cold-blooded and heartless person suddenly cared about the safety of others.
This is naturally special.
And if he wanted Cen Xi to find out information from her according to his original plan, he should not let anyone leave at this time.
"Do you think he did it on purpose or does he really care about Cen Xi?"
Zhao Shen shook his head: "It's hard to say. Even if he really cares about Cen Xi's safety, it's hard to say how much weight this concern carries."
This determines how effective it will be to use Cen Xi to threaten Lin Huixue.
Ji Yunshu understood what Zhao Shen said: "I hope Cen Xi is fine."
Zhao Shen said, "Cen Xi is caught in the middle of this situation and can't escape it no matter what. The outcome depends on her own choice, and how do you know she doesn't want to?"
Ji Yunshu: "Who would be willing to be a pawn in someone else's hands?"
Zhao Shen said softly, "But most people are born to be chess pieces, Ah Shu. Some people may not even realize they are chess pieces until they die. Compared to them, Cen Xi is already very lucky. She still has the right to choose."
Ji Yunshu felt that he was really quibbling, but deep down in her heart, she actually understood that what Zhao Shen said was right.
"What do you want to do with her?"
Zhao Shen said, "Don't do anything. Let her stay for a few days. If she wants, she can come to the general's mansion to accompany you."
Because of the spy incident, the general's mansion was cleared out several times in just six months.
During the Chinese New Year, Ji Yunlan recuperated in the mansion. When he had nothing to do, he reorganized the people in the mansion.
All those who stayed this time were absolutely reliable people, and even the slightest doubt was not acceptable.
So now the General's Mansion is an ironclad entity, and even the people from Prince Yong's Mansion may not be able to get their hands in.
Ji Yunshu didn't have much to say, as Cen Xi wouldn't be in any danger if he stayed.
But she felt that doing so was a bit unfair to Cen Xi.
Zhao Shen seemed to understand what she was thinking and consoled her, "I've already asked. This is Cen Xi's own wish. She has received your kindness but doesn't know how to repay you. If you ask her to do something, she'll feel better."
Ji Yunshu shook his head: "This is different, and she has already helped me a lot. When I helped her, it was just a piece of cake."
Zhao Shen was helpless: "I know, so I won't force her to do anything. If she really doesn't want to, I won't force her."
Ji Yunshu sighed: "I know you are right, just do what you want."
She knew that Zhao Shen would not hurt Cen Xi, and that was enough.
As for the others, even the Queen of Mobei was helpless, let alone Cen Xi.
They all have their own choices.
So the next day, not long after Cen Xi left the city gate, he was intercepted by someone.
When Lin Huixue's people went back to report, Lin Huixue got very angry, which was rare for him.
"A bunch of idiots, they don't even know who did it?"
The subordinates replied with bitter faces: "The other party was masked and they were all masters. As soon as they showed their faces, they took Miss Cen hostage. We were afraid that they would hurt Miss Cen, so we were at a disadvantage."
Lin Huixue said angrily, "Since you've already started, can't you see the direction?"
The men shook their heads: "It's just ordinary underworld tactics. The other party is also speaking the language of gangs."
Lin Huixue didn't believe this. Which gang would dare to intercept people at the gate of Wuning City?
What's more, those who came were all experts, and they were obviously well prepared.
After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Zhao Shen."
There is only Zhao Shen, and it can only be Zhao Shen.
At this time, Cen Xi was already in the general's mansion.
Ji Yunshu apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to be like this."
Cen Xi smiled nonchalantly and said, "What are you talking about? Lin Huixue approached me for a purpose, so why shouldn't I approach him for the same purpose? It's my honor to play a role in the prince's plan."
Ji Yunshu: "But I hope you return to the capital."
Cen Xi said, "Then what? Can I stay out of it forever and be safe and sound? Ah Shu, I'm not that naive. Even you, even the Queen of Mobei, can't do it, so how can I be an exception? In this world, we always have to face certain things."
In fact, she envied Ji Yunshu very much. When Zhao Shen's people came to her, they had fully respected her opinion.
She knew it was because of Ji Yunshu.
