Chapter 643: Dare not disobey the Holy Order
Another important reason why people think Ji Yunshu is a soft-hearted person is that she never kills innocent people.
Even if you pay a little attention, you will find that she regards everyone's life as very important.
So although she practiced martial arts every day, it was only for self-protection and she rarely fought outside.
She would never kill anyone unless it was absolutely necessary.
Even if that person is Zhao Heng, who might kill her entire family.
Ji Yunshu had to admit that she was right, but she did not kill Zhao Heng not because she was soft-hearted, but because the education she had received made it impossible for her to kill people casually.
Although many people have died because of her along the way.
But since Zhao Heng didn't really threaten her, she couldn't kill him directly.
She didn't want to tell Zhao Shen about these things she was analyzing, so she just asked, "Even if I don't do it, someone else might do it, like Wei Yuanmin. She could kill Zhao Heng at any time. Are you really not worried at all?"
Zhao Shen was obviously not worried: "There is also my father. If he didn't have any ability, there would be no way to keep me alive until now."
Ji Yunshu understood that the Gu in Zhao Shen's body had a trick. It was one-way. If Zhao Heng died, he would also die, but if he died, Zhao Heng would not be affected at all.
Although Zhao Heng didn't seem to be in any danger, Ji Yunshu couldn't help but feel anxious when she thought about the mess in his backyard. "No, this is too dangerous. We have to find the antidote as soon as possible."
Both Yao Ruolan and Wei Yuanmin might want to kill him. Ji Yunshu felt that Zhao Heng's emotions were not stable, so who knew if anything would happen to him.
Zhao Shen fell silent, and Ji Yunshu's heart moved: "Is there any movement from Prince Yong?"
Zhao Shen didn't know what to say. Ji Yunshu was very slow when he was slow, but extremely sharp when he was sharp.
Just like now, even though there was nothing unusual, she could still see clues from his brief silence.
"Hangzhou Commander-in-Chief Yang Zhen has been impeached for colluding with Japanese pirates, plundering the coastal areas, and nurturing them for his own benefit. It's not yet known if this incident is related to Prince Yong, but all signs indicate that he is indeed in Jiangnan, so the Emperor wants me to go there."
Ji Yunshu took a deep breath. "How long have we been back from Youzhou? Furthermore, the Emperor just transferred you to the Ministry of Works, and now he's sending you to Jiangnan. Is this appropriate?"
Zhao Shen said, "Prince Yong's hiding in the dark is a hidden danger after all, and didn't you also say that you wanted to find the antidote as soon as possible? This time, the emperor will send someone else openly, and we will act in secret. Don't you have a shop in Hangzhou? Let's go disguised as merchants."
Ji Yunshu: "You are quite good at making plans."
In addition to spreading news, she opened a shop in Jiangnan with the consideration of using that identity.
Who would have thought that the shop had just opened and Zhao Shen was already using it.
Zhao Shen said, "Prince Yong is a shrewd and calculating man. It's inevitable that he will find out after a long time. Now is the perfect time for us to open the shop."
Ji Yunshu felt that since it involved the Japanese pirates, the matter might not be that simple, but no matter what it was, it had to be resolved.
Zhao Shen is an outstanding person who always gets things done properly. It is only natural that the emperor likes to use him.
"When are we leaving?"
She was really worried about Zhao Shen's health, and it would be better to get rid of the poison as soon as possible.
Zhao Shen smiled and said, "It will take a few more days. I will take care of the affairs in the capital before leaving. There is no rush."
Since he had already decided to go and it concerned Zhao Shen's health, Ji Yunshu felt very anxious.
But this time they are going in disguise, so they really can't act too hastily.
The next day, Ji Yunshu went to the palace to bid farewell to the Queen Mother.
The emperor had told the empress dowager early in the morning that she was going to Hangzhou with Zhao Shen.
Ji Yunshu thought that the Queen Mother would nag her. After all, she was always running around outside, which was completely different from what the Queen Mother had taught her, that she should be a wife who took care of her husband and children after getting married.
But the Queen Mother said, "You have good judgment. Zhao Shen is indeed a man worthy of entrusting your life to. He doesn't mind you following him around. That's great."
Ji Yunshu asked with a smile, "Aren't you afraid that I'll be in danger? Did the Emperor say something again?"
The Queen Mother said, "He told me that you were of great help in dealing with the situation in Mobei. Zhao Shen is very skilled in martial arts, and he has even sent secret guards who will surely protect you."
Ji Yunshu was dissatisfied: "You believe it?"
The Queen Mother said, "He wouldn't fool me about this matter. Besides, if I don't believe it, will you not go?"
Ji Yunshu spread his hands: "I dare not disobey the emperor's order."
The Queen Mother poked her forehead helplessly and said, "Girl, I don't know where your opinion of the Emperor comes from. He's finally acting like an emperor now. Many of the court's long-standing malpractices are slowly being cleared up. I can see that he's trying very hard to be a wise ruler. Please help him if you can."
Ji Yunshu sighed, "In fact, he has always been a wise ruler. He knows how to use people, trusts them, and is willing to take risks. He wholeheartedly hopes for a clean and peaceful political environment in Daxia, which is already very difficult."
She actually didn't have any opinion about the emperor, but she had an instinctive wariness towards him.
But even so, she had to admit that Emperor Jingming was already very good.
He ascended the throne at a young age and was always constrained by aristocratic families, court officials and even the empress dowager.
It's normal to have a rebellious mentality.
But he did not do anything harmful to the country, the people and the people.
Even in the book, he was simply in poor health due to being poisoned and unable to run the government, but he was not a tyrant.
The Queen Mother laughed and said, "You haven't been close to him since you were little. I didn't expect that your relationship with him would improve after you got married."
Ji Yunshu said, "After all, he is my aunt's son and my cousin. Moreover, he has indeed placed great trust in me over the past few years."
Her father has an army of 200,000. If she gives away the things in his hands, the rebellion may not fail.
The emperor knew this very well, but never asked about it.
Or maybe he secretly sent someone to keep an eye on him, but even so, it would not be easy.
The Queen Mother was visibly pleased upon hearing this, and she smiled even more kindly, "That's right. You are blood relatives, and you should work together. The burden of the country is too heavy. With you and Zhao Shen helping him, I can rest assured."
Ji Yunshu said, "Aunt, you're too kind. My cousin knows how to use people wisely. All the civil and military officials in the court are pillars of the country. Who am I? Actually, I want to go for Zhao Shen's health. I can't rest easy until the poison in his body is cured."
The Queen Mother said, "The Emperor remembers your contributions, and Zhao Shen, you are both excellent. You must be careful this time."
Ji Yunshu nodded. "I've heard Hangzhou is incredibly prosperous, on par with Beijing. I finally got a chance to visit. Speaking of which, I should thank my cousin."
The Queen Mother was in a very good mood because of her coaxing. In the past two years, she has lived a life of enjoying her grandchildren, without worrying about anything, and looks younger than before.
The relationship with the emperor and the empress also eased a lot. Although Ji Yunshu's marriage was different from what she had expected and she often went out, which made her worry, she knew that Ji Yunshu was happy and she felt no regrets.
So what she is most worried about now is Ji Yunlan's marriage.
