Chapter 704 Who is helping him?
Xiao Kun said indifferently: "Isn't what I said the truth?"
Ji Yunshu nodded: "It's true that the truth is the hardest to hear."
Xiao Kun beckoned her: "Don't you want to come and see me?"
Ji Yunshu knew he had something to say to her, so she shyly sent everyone away, sat down beside the bed, and asked, "Why are you injured like this?"
Xiao Kun said with a smile: "This is just perfect."
Prince Yong wanted to use Xiao Kun to deal with Zhao Shen, and Xiao Kun wanted to avoid this matter. This was indeed a good idea.
Ji Yunshu frowned and said, "If it's not you, it will be someone else. Compared to someone else, I hope it's you."
At least he won't really hurt Zhao Shen.
Xiao Kun lowered his voice and whispered in her ear, "If he doesn't trust me, he will definitely send someone else. We don't need to waste time."
Ji Yunshu also understood this. She sighed, "He seems to really want to kill you."
Just now, when she proposed to King Yong to cooperate with him to kill Xiao Kun, although he did not agree, Ji Yunshu could feel that he was moved.
Or it could be said that he had this idea in mind.
Letting Xiao Kun deal with Zhao Shen is just the first step.
If Xiao Kun died at the hands of Zhao Shen, that would be exactly what he wanted.
Ji Yunshu didn't understand how there could be such a father in this world?
Xiao Kun, however, had long since let things go: "Even when I was very young, I understood that if I wanted to survive, I had to rely on myself. This is fine. He schemes against me, and I scheme against him. It all depends on who has the better tricks."
Seeing that there was no sadness on his face, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with her, Ji Yunshu couldn't help but ask, "Why is that?"
Seeing her looking at him with concern, Xiao Kun smiled and said, "You're just too soft-hearted. This isn't uncommon in the royal family. He doesn't just treat me like this. In his eyes, all his children are just tools, the only difference being whether they're useful or not. Besides, I've ruined so many things for him. Do you think he's really unaware of it?"
Ji Yunshu certainly knew that it was Xiao Kun who had been guiding them in the investigation since the Suzhou incident.
All the arrangements made by King Yong over the years were destroyed.
But it was not Xiao Kun's fault alone that the father and son had reached this point.
Although Xiao Kun himself didn't seem to care much, Ji Yunshu felt that this in itself was a sad thing.
She didn't want to talk about it anymore, so she changed the subject: "What are you going to do next? Just lie there?"
Xiao Kun said, "If I lie down, he'll be less alert, which will make things easier for us. Next, we need to find the antidote, find Yin Shu, and rescue him. Also, it would be best if we could find out his physical condition. If we can take care of him, things will be much easier."
Ji Yunshu: “…”
Even though Prince Yong wanted to get rid of him, he at least had the nerve to be subtle and not say it out loud.
He openly expressed his intention to kill his father.
This kind of thing is easy to say, but it is difficult to do it without psychological burden.
She thought for a moment and said, "There's no clue about the antidote yet, so there's no rush. But as for Yin Shu, I think I might know where he is."
She recounted what happened this morning: "That place is more heavily guarded than other places. I think Yin Shu is most likely imprisoned there. What do you think?"
After hearing her description of the specific location, Xiao Kun nodded and said, "It is indeed possible that there is a dungeon there. If you say so, there may be other people imprisoned in there, but we can't alert the enemy for the time being."
The dungeon was heavily guarded and they couldn't get in quietly.
Once King Yong discovered that they knew about the dungeon, they themselves might be in danger, let alone saving others.
Ji Yunshu had no choice but to continue, "There is indeed something wrong with Prince Yong's health. He smells of medicine, and he's been using spices to cover it up. I think we should investigate this first."
If we can deal with King Yong first, other things will be easy.
Xiao Kun nodded: "Then let's investigate this first. I told Zhao Shen to stay at sea for a few days and not to go to the island. As long as Zhao Shen is not dealt with, King Yong will not touch you."
At this time, Ji Yunshu was actually a hostage in the eyes of King Yong.
"What about you?"
Prince Yong's murderous intention towards Xiao Kun was already obvious.
Xiao Kun laughed and said, "You still underestimated him. He knows exactly what he should do at this moment. Before he is sure that I have ulterior motives, killing me will do him no good."
King Yong had many sons. If he was killed, the others would be difficult to control.
Although he has been hiding on this island, Xiao Kun is very clear that King Yong still has many cards in his hand. Even if he cannot return to Daxia, he can still be the master of a free and easy island overseas.
So the position of the prince is still very useful.
The other sons of Prince Yong were obviously no match for Xiao Kun, and the internal strife would only cause Prince Yong to suffer greater losses.
For King Yong, if he succeeds in the future, he will have plenty of opportunities to deal with Xiao Kun.
If he fails, Xiao Kun will definitely not have a good ending.
This is also the reason why he must keep Xiao Kun by his side.
As long as he is tied to his side, he can't get rid of the title of Prince Yong.
He will always be charged with treason.
Ji Yunshu accepted his statement: "Okay, then let's check his body first. I will try to get in touch with him more and see if I can think of a way to deal with him."
At this moment, she couldn't help but think, it would be great if Bai Ling was here.
Bai Ling's medical skills have improved in the past two years. If she were here, she might be able to guess what's wrong with Prince Yong just by observing his face.
Although she also learned about some medicinal herbs from Bai Ling, especially those that can be used as spices, she only knew the basics.
Xiao Kun nodded: "Don't worry, we are not the ones who should be anxious now. We don't know when he will reveal his true intentions."
As the two were talking, someone outside reported that the medicine was ready.
Ji Yunshu personally took the medicine and fed it to him, and checked to see if there was anything added to the medicine.
From the current perspective, King Yong would not resort to such means against his own son.
However, the medicine contained some sleeping aids, and Xiao Kun fell asleep after drinking it for a while.
Maybe it was because he hadn't rested for too long or because he was injured, but there were faint bruises under his eyes.
Ji Yunshu waited until she fell asleep, then quietly got up and walked out.
Prince Yong was dealing with something and was a little surprised to see Ji Yunshu coming: "Why are you here if you're not guarding him?"
Ji Yunshu said expressionlessly, "Why would I guard him?"
Prince Yong laughed and said, "Don't you want to kill him? He's badly injured and can't fight back. Isn't this a good opportunity?"
Ji Yunshu looked at him: "If he dies, will you let me go?"
King Yong was silent.
Ji Yunshu sneered: "If that's the case, why should I help you? Your Highness, please tell me how you can let me go."
Prince Yong said, "Zhao Shen has already set sail. It's only a matter of time before he finds this place. He even mobilized the navy this time. Can I know who in the navy is helping him?"
Qi Zheng was a water soldier who entered the army under an assumed name, and no one there knew his true identity.
Even Prince Yong could not have guessed that the emperor had buried people in the navy before.
However, his words revealed one thing, that is, King Yong also had people in the navy.
That's why he found out about Zhao Shen mobilizing the navy so quickly.
