Chapter 695 I Don’t Agree
Ji Yunshu asked, "If I want to steal the antidote, I have to get close to Prince Yong. What reason do you give me to get close to him?"
Xiao Kun laughed and said, "Why do you think he asked Xianxian to seduce me?"
Although King Yong did not care about him as much as his father, he paid no less attention to him.
Nothing that happened to him escaped the other party's eyes.
Ji Yunshu: "So?"
Xiao Kun said: "I have very reasonable reasons to take you away. As for whether you want to obey me or resist, it will be up to you when the time comes."
Zhao Shen listened to their conversation and realized that they had already reached this point. He repeated, "I disagree."
Ji Yunshu paused and said, "There's no rush for this matter. Let's discuss it first."
Xiao Kun had no objection: "Okay, I still have things to do, so it can wait a few days, but I advise you to make a decision as soon as possible. The Yu family is gone, and he must get some of the Yu family's things. To him, you and Qi San are both in the way."
Ji Yunshu: "Are you saying that Prince Yong will deal with us and Qi San next?"
Xiao Kun laughed and said, "Isn't this obvious? If he doesn't quickly find a way to deal with you, is he going to wait for you to free up time to deal with him?"
Zhao Shen said, "So the Yu family is just the beginning. If that's the case, what good will it do him if the Yu family is gone?"
Although it was the information that Xiao Kun asked Xianxian to reveal that accelerated the demise of the Yu family, Xiao Kun had just said that this was King Yong's intention.
Xiao Kun said, "Why is this so difficult to understand? The Yu family was once the most prominent family in Jiangnan. Coupled with the power that Yu Chuannan has secretly developed over the years, the power they truly control cannot be underestimated. This is why Prince Yong was able to threaten Yu Chuannan. Do you really think that the incident at the other courtyard can control his lifeblood?"
Ji Yunshu understood.
The power of the Yu family was already enough to threaten the imperial power, so they knew that if the royal family knew about it, they would definitely not tolerate it, so they chose King Yong.
But what she didn't understand was: "If the current emperor can't tolerate it, will he be able to tolerate it after Prince Yong ascends the throne?"
All emperors are the same.
As an ally, Prince Yong certainly hopes that the Yu family will become stronger.
But once he sits on the throne, will he be able to tolerate a Yu family that can influence the throne?
Xiao Kun shook his head: "I don't know what exactly happened, but the Yu family should have something on Prince Yong, something that he can't regret even if he becomes emperor."
Ji Yunshu: "They are really not easy to deal with."
Xiao Kun was unsure whether to accept his words. "So you don't have to sympathize with the Yu family. Just accept the loss."
At this time, Zhao Shen said, "Prince Yong wants to attack Qi San and me, why doesn't he just kill us?"
Xiao Kun said, "You two are both top-notch fighters. Not to mention the huge price it would cost to kill you, even if he was willing to sacrifice so many people, the Emperor would still send someone else if you died. Things can't go on like this forever."
"Oh, has his patience finally run out?"
Zhao Shen felt that King Yong had made so many plans before and spent a lot of time and money on it, but now he seemed a little impatient.
This doesn't make sense.
Xiao Kun said, "He's also a human being. He's been planning for years, and now he's watching himself fail step by step. How much patience can he have? Besides, although there's nothing unusual on his face, I think his health isn't very good."
Zhao Shen became interested: "What do you mean?"
Xiao Kun recalled the day when he was brought before King Yong and the scene when father and son met again after many years.
Prince Yong looked at him with a look of emotion: "In the blink of an eye, you have grown so big."
The tone was gentle and loving, as if speaking to a child returning from a distant place.
It was as if he had never sent him to the capital as a hostage.
Nor did he threaten him with his mother's life.
Nor did he plot a rebellion regardless of his life or death.
Xiao Kun was disgusted and said deliberately, "Yes, it's been many years since we last met. Father has aged. Look at your gray hair and wrinkles on your face. If you didn't know me, you would have thought you were over sixty."
He originally intended to disgust the other party, but King Yong became very angry when he heard it.
He took great effort to control his emotions: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. You are my son after all, so naturally you should help me."
So this man who talked about the father-son relationship threatened him with his best friend and asked him to do something for him.
He wanted to fight to the death, but since it was about Ji Yunshu, he couldn't just sit back and do nothing.
Moreover, he has very few friends whom he truly recognizes, and Yin Shu is one of them.
So he reluctantly agreed to come to Hangzhou.
I didn't expect to see Ji Yunshu so soon.
But now he already knows how to get along with each other.
These days, he has been thinking about Prince Yong.
His weakness is actually very obvious: he is afraid of death.
If not for this, he would not have been hiding in the dark and plotting all these years, and would not have dared to take any risky actions.
So Xiao Kun felt that the rare anger on his face that day seemed to be some kind of sign.
Prince Yong was only in his forties, still in the prime of his life. Why should he be angry when someone called him old?
However, these were just speculations, and Xiao Kun couldn't be sure. He carefully considered telling the story and added, "I smelled medicine in his room. Although it was very faint, because he deliberately burned spices to cover it up, I could smell it."
If they were just ordinary spices, Xiao Kun would not be interested, but the spices in Prince Yong's room were specially blended.
It smelled special, so he sniffed it some more.
"But I don't know much about spices. I only know some common spices. There is a woman who is very good at making perfumes around Prince Yong. If we want to find out about this, I'm afraid Ah Shu will have to take action."
Zhao Shen: "Do you really want Ah Shu to go?"
In a short while, he had found two reasons for Ji Yunshu to go.
Ji Yunshu was indeed eager to try.
It was because she knew that there was a person around King Yong who was very good at using incense that she deliberately learned about incense.
Plus, they have a keen sense of smell.
Ji Yunshu is now unrivaled in the world of spices.
She couldn't help but look at Zhao Shen.
Zhao Shenze looked at Xiao Kun.
From the moment Xiao Kun first suggested that Ji Yunshu go, he knew that he could not stop Ji Yunshu.
But now, Xiao Kun put forward a reason that he could not refuse.
If they want to steal the pills, they can send someone else to do it. At worst, they can bring all the pills out and let Ji Yunshu identify them.
Then only Ji Yunshu can do this.
Xiao Kun shrugged. "Yeah, from a simpler perspective, I hope this matter ends quickly. Whether you win or he wins, there has to be a result. From my perspective, he'll soon have someone deal with you, and that person might very well be me. To save me from being caught in a dilemma, getting Ah Shu to my side first can save me a lot of trouble."
Ji Yunshu then understood that what Xiao Kun really wanted to do was to protect her in this fight.
