Chapter 701 You Will Regret
Xiao Kun was a little amused and said, "You are not the type to sit and wait for death. Since I have locked you up here, you must find a way to save yourself."
Ji Yunshu nodded: "When should I go find him?"
Xiao Kun said, "Wait a few more days. He wants me to deal with Zhao Shen. By then, I will leave here, and your chance will have arrived."
Ji Yunshu understood what he meant. Prince Yong was not someone who could be easily fooled.
As long as Xiao Kun was around, she shouldn't have the chance to ask for help.
Xiao Kun was right. Sure enough, a few days later, news came that Zhao Shen had gone to sea.
Zhao Shen brought a lot of people with him, and King Yong did not want him to find his hiding place.
Therefore, it is better to send Xiao Kun to intercept Zhao Shen in advance, and it would be best if he were to die in the sea.
Xiao Kun showed great interest in this.
Although King Yong did not trust him, because Ji Yunshu was on the island, he felt that Xiao Kun would definitely get rid of Zhao Shen.
On the day Xiao Kun left, Ji Yunshu sneaked out of the yard and went to find Prince Yong.
This was the first time Ji Yunshu met Prince Yong. Perhaps because he had been stuck in the house for too long, his skin was very white, his body looked a little thin, and his temperament was elegant.
He doesn't look like an ambitious prince who wants to rebel and usurp the throne.
More like a middle-aged scholar.
He looked at Ji Yunshu with a gentle look: "Miss, what do you want to see me for?"
Ji Yunshu: "I'm married."
He pretended to not know who she was.
Ji Yunshu complained in his heart, but his face showed no expression.
Compared with King Yong's gentleness, she expressed her hostility directly.
Prince Yong said apologetically, "It was that child Kun'er who made trouble. I apologize to you on his behalf."
Ji Yunshu said with surprise, "Then can you let me leave here?"
Prince Yong's expression and tone remained unchanged. "I think Kun'er really likes you. That child is stubborn. If I let you go, I'm afraid it would hurt his feelings. Wouldn't it be nice for you to stay here and become a perfect couple with him?"
Ji Yunshu looked at Prince Yong with more caution: "I told you, I have a husband."
Prince Yong chuckled and said, "A man who can't protect you isn't worth your concern, don't you think?"
Ji Yunshu disagreed: "He will come to find me."
King Yong looked at her without saying anything.
Ji Yunshu also looked at him and suddenly said, "I have a question. I wonder if Your Highness can help me solve it?"
Even though his identity was exposed, Prince Yong remained calm and composed: "Ask."
Ji Yunshu said, "You've left the Crown Prince in the capital all these years without paying any attention to him. Even when you suddenly launched a rebellion last year, you didn't even consider that the Crown Prince was still in the capital. Why do you want to be a kind father now?"
The veins on Prince Yong's forehead twitched. He should have thought of it earlier.
Ji Yunshu is not someone who is easy to deal with. How could he come to him just to ask for help?
Besides, doesn't she understand that falling into his hands would be worse than falling into Xiao Kun's hands?
The smile on his face remained unchanged, but there was a coldness in his eyes: "This is a matter between father and son."
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "Your Highness, you misunderstood. I don't care about the relationship between you and your son. I just want to say that there is not much affection between you two anyway. You don't even care about his life or death, so you probably don't care whether he is sad or not. Let me go. If you have any conditions, please state them."
Her words directly exposed Prince Yong's disguise.
The smile on Prince Yong's face faded: "Ji Changlin is lucky to have a daughter like you."
He had some feelings for Yao, and also felt guilty towards Zhao Heng, a son he had never met.
But all these disappeared when Ji Yunshu remarried Zhao Shen.
For the past two years, he has been reviewing his failure.
It turns out that everything started when Ji Yunshu married Zhao Shen.
Her remarriage ruined his plan to seize military power from the Ji family.
Although Zhao Heng failed to marry Ji Yunshu, he made amends.
But without Ji Yunshu in hand, it felt a little less legitimate.
Not to mention that Ji Yunshu and Zhao Shen personally went to Youzhou and pulled out all the chess pieces he had buried for more than ten years.
This resulted in the complete failure of Mobei's plan.
There was no winner in that war, including him, the one who started the war in the first place.
Looking back now, he suddenly realized that everything started with that marriage.
As both were not sons raised by their parents, Zhao Heng and Xiao Kun simply could not be compared.
Even the way he looks at women is completely different.
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "I'll take it as a compliment, Your Highness. So, what are your conditions?"
Prince Yong shook his head: "You are so smart, you should know that I will not let you go."
It would be fine if I couldn't get hold of such a good bargaining chip as Ji Yunshu.
Now that Xiao Kun has brought her back, he certainly won't send her away.
As long as Ji Yunshu is on this island, Zhao Shen will not dare to act rashly.
Ji Yunshu looked at Prince Yong and said, "You will regret this."
To Prince Yong's ears, these words sounded more like her helpless words about her current situation.
Prince Yong laughed and said, "I have so many regrets in my life. Looking back now, the one I regret most is probably letting you marry Zhao Shen."
At that time, Zhao Shen had become a cripple and would not be a stumbling block to Zhao Heng. With Lord Zhao protecting him, he did not cause any more trouble.
If he had known this would happen, he should have gotten rid of Zhao Shen as soon as possible and let Zhao Heng marry Ji Yunshu no matter what.
It’s a pity that everything cannot be repeated.
Ji Yunshu saw regret in his eyes.
She thought King Yong must not know that it was because everything started over again that things became like this.
She said coldly, "The thing you will regret most in the future will be not letting me go today."
After saying that, she turned and left.
Prince Yong looked at her back and felt inexplicably uneasy.
But no matter what, he couldn't let Ji Yunshu leave.
At this point, the emperor will not let him go.
Whether from the perspective of the Ji family or the Changxing Marquisate, Ji Yunshu is his enemy.
The kind that can't be reversed.
If possible, he would rather kill Ji Yunshu.
But for now, it seems that she is more useful if she is alive.
Ji Yunshu returned to the house and asked everyone to leave.
She had just been close enough to Prince Yong and had stayed there long enough for her to easily analyze the scent on him.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as she wanted, she could tell where King Yong had been and what he had touched that day.
There was a medicinal smell, although it was covered by other aromas and was almost unnoticeable if one didn't pay attention. However, Ji Yunshu was sure that he had been taking medicine recently.
It seems that Xiao Kun's guess was correct, Prince Yong did have health problems.
No wonder he, who originally liked to plan before taking action, seems to be getting more and more impatient these days.
Ji Yunshu analyzed the possible illness he might have and fell into deep thought.
At this time, Xiao Kun and Zhao Shen had already connected.
At night, the sea was dark and there was no light at all.
After Xiao Kun knocked out the person sent by King Yong to monitor him, he quietly left in a small boat.
