Chapter 615: There Will Be No Good Ending
But Zhao Shen shook his head: "It depends on what Dad wants. Otherwise, do you think Yao Shi would be alive today?"
Ji Yunshu had also wondered why Zhao Shen had always shown mercy to Yao's men?
Before the marriage, he might not have been able to touch Yao, but after the marriage, many things changed.
There probably isn't much of Zhao Heng's halo as the leading man left. He can't even protect himself, let alone the Yao family.
Under such circumstances, it should have been easy for Zhao Shen to deal with the Yao family, but he never did so.
"Is the Marquis still under the coercion of the Yao family?"
Ji Yunshu asked in confusion.
By now, they were basically certain that there was only one antidote to the poison in Zhao Shen, and it was in the hands of King Yong.
So she couldn't think of what else Yao could use to coerce Lord Zhao.
Zhao Shen's eyes darkened. "I'll have a good talk with my father about this later. It doesn't really matter whether we deal with them right now. They're just making a fool of themselves, which is a good way to divert people's attention."
Ji Yunshu nodded: "You are right, the Yao family is now completely under the control of the Marquis. As for the matter between Zhao Heng, Yao Ruolan and Wei Yuanmin, it has nothing to do with us."
Zhao Shen reminded her: "If you are fine, stay away from them to avoid being affected."
"It won't affect me, right?"
Zhao Shen said seriously, "Do you think any of those three people are normal now? They can no longer think with ordinary people's minds. How can they not think that if you had married Zhao Heng, everything today would be different?"
Ji Yunshu is the path to heaven that Yao carefully planned for Zhao Heng.
Ji Yunshu felt horrified upon hearing this: "What heavenly law have I violated that deserves to be Zhao Heng's stepping stone, or that my whole family should be shattered to pieces?"
Zhao Shen was amused by her words: "This has nothing to do with you. When people are unhappy, they always like to put the blame on others. And..."
He paused and continued, "If they think so, they are not wrong."
In his memories of his previous life, Ji Yunshu did marry Zhao Heng, and then Zhao Heng helped Prince Yong ascend the throne by stepping on the blood of the Ji family.
The military power of 200,000 troops is indeed a powerful help.
Ji Yunshu sneered: "They met me. If I were Wei Yuanmin, I would definitely not give Zhao Heng the opportunity to harm me."
Wei Yuanmin gave Zhao Heng the opportunity to take advantage of her because he loved Zhao Heng.
She was different. From the very beginning, she wanted to kill Zhao Heng.
If she had not met Zhao Shen, and their goals were the same, giving her time to take her time, in order to protect herself and her family, she would definitely kill Zhao Heng as quickly as possible, even if it meant a fight to the death.
Zhao Shen heard the coldness in her words, pulled her into his arms and comforted her, "He can't hurt you now."
"I know, but when I think about these things now, I still feel scared."
She never forgot the fear and terror she felt when she first discovered she had become the cannon fodder in the book.
At that time, she came into this world alone.
Zhao Shen gently stroked her back: "It's all over. Don't worry, they won't have a good ending."
He could actually guess a little bit about his father's thoughts. Yao had killed his wife in order to enter the Marquis' Mansion, and for so many years, he had been threatening him with his only son.
Lord Zhao hated Yao to the core and would never let her die easily.
The person Yao cared about most was probably Zhao Heng, so Zhao Shen could foresee that Zhao Heng's end would definitely not be good.
It was already late when the two returned to the mansion, so Lu Ru had dinner prepared.
Ji Yunshu had been fed a lot in the Empress Dowager's Palace today, and now he wasn't hungry at all, so he just had someone serve him a bowl of soup and drank it slowly.
Zhao Shen discussed matters with the emperor for a whole day and was really hungry.
Seeing him eating so happily, Ji Yunshu teased him with a smile, "The Emperor wants to discuss something with you, and you don't even care about the food?"
Zhao Shen swallowed the food in his mouth before saying, "The Emperor has his own rules for eating and sleeping. He can't just eat whenever he wants. Isn't that clear?"
Ji Yunshu curled his lips: "I haven't been close to him since childhood, how would I know his rules?"
The fact is, ever since Ji Yunshu entered the palace, the Empress Dowager instructed the Emperor to take good care of her.
But at that time, Ji Yunshu had just lost her mother and her father was not around. She felt lonely after entering the palace. She had a sensitive personality and was very difficult to get along with.
The emperor has been a prince since childhood. He has to follow strict rules and has a lot to learn. How could he have the patience to coax a little girl who is competing with him for her mother's love?
Ji Yunshu seriously suspected that the emperor was always serious when he saw her because he was jealous of her.
After all, the empress dowager doted on her, but was extremely strict with the emperor because she had high hopes for him.
She told Zhao Shen about this idea, thinking that Zhao Shen would not agree, but after hearing it, Zhao Shen remained silent.
Ji Yunshu: "What do you mean? Could it be that he is really jealous of me?"
Zhao Shen was unable to put it into words. "When you first entered the palace, he wanted to get along well with you. After all, compared to those people in the palace, you were his blood relative. But soon, he became unhappy and kept talking to me about how much the Queen Mother doted on you and how she never let him eat sweets since he was a child, saying that it was bad for his teeth, but you ate as much as you wanted."
After hearing his words, something came to Ji Yunshu's mind.
That was shortly after she entered the palace. The emperor went to pay his respects to the empress dowager, and the empress dowager asked the two of them to come out and play.
When she was eating candy, she gave one to the emperor. It was a delicious pine nut candy.
But when the emperor found out that she had a bag of pine nut candies, he left angrily.
At that time, she didn't understand why. Later, the emperor didn't like her, and she cried to the empress dowager about this.
It turned out that the emperor was just jealous of her having candy.
Ji Yunshu said with a smile: "So the emperor was so interesting back then."
Zhao Shen smiled and continued, "The time he was most hostile to you was when I broke my leg."
Ji Yunshu remembered that her relationship with the emperor had indeed hit rock bottom after the broken engagement.
It's just that she was young at the time and had little interaction with the emperor, so she didn't notice it.
"I know this. He treated you as a close friend, but I wanted to break off the engagement after you broke your leg. Naturally, he wouldn't have a good impression of me."
She felt a little wronged, after all, the original owner didn't want to cancel the engagement.
The Queen Mother loved her and refused to agree to her marrying a disabled man, so she broke off the engagement.
In this era, parents' orders and matchmaker's words are more important than anything else, and she actually has no say in her own marriage.
Zhao Shen shook his head: "It's not because of this. After all, he also knows that it was the Queen Mother who wanted to cancel the engagement. It has nothing to do with you."
"Oh, then it's because he's jealous of my aunt's affection for me."
Breaking off an engagement is not a glorious thing for a woman, especially if it is because the man has had an accident. This is not good for the reputation of the Ji family and the Queen Mother.
But for her own life, the Queen Mother still insisted on doing so.
If she were the emperor, she would probably be jealous if her biological mother treated others better than herself.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Shen shook his head again: "Not really."
