Chapter 705 You can reach a higher position
Ji Yunshu blinked her eyes and said innocently, "Your Highness, you're joking. I'm just an ignorant woman. How could I know what's going on in the army?"
Prince Yong stared at her and said, "I heard that Zhao Shen treats you very well and tells you everything he knows. He even brought you to Jiangnan. Could it be that he didn't tell you anything?"
Ji Yunshu laughed and said, "He knows a lot, how could he tell me everything? Who did you hear this from, Your Highness?"
Prince Yong didn't expect to really get anything out of her, but Ji Yunshu was more difficult to deal with than he expected.
"It seems you don't really want to leave here."
When he said this, his expression was still gentle.
Ji Yunshu felt as if he was wearing a thick mask on his face, and he always had the same expression.
He seems gentle, but he seems to have no emotions.
Ji Yunshu sneered: "If I tell you, you'll let me go?"
Of course, Prince Yong wouldn't let her go so easily: "Kun'er is my only legitimate son. Everything I have will belong to him in the future. He loves you deeply, so helping me wouldn't be without benefits to you. What do you think?"
Ji Yunshu found it a little funny. Prince Yong had already fallen into this situation, and he was still promising her something. Didn't that make her look stupid?
She asked curiously, "Is this how Your Majesty tricked those poor women into working for you?"
Prince Yong originally thought that she would at least consider it, but who would dare to speak like this? His expression became a little unstable. "I never deceive people. You are a smart person, you must know the current situation of the Ji family. Do you really think Jingming will not take action against the Ji family?"
Ji Yunshu spread his hands and said, "I only know that he won't do that now. As for the future, let alone the Ji family, even Da Xia will eventually perish. Why should I worry so much?"
"You seem to be quite open-minded, but after you married Zhao Shen, you went to Suzhou, Southern Xinjiang, Mobei, and Jiangnan, looking for people to research gunpowder, weapons, and ships. You are no less capable than a man, and you have both ability and ambition. Why do you have to help Jingming? You can reach a higher position."
There was an indescribable allure in his gentle voice.
Ji Yunshu felt her heartbeat quicken. She followed his lead and asked, "What higher position? Could it be that Prince Yong is planning to support me on the throne?"
Prince Yong: “…”
You really dare to think so.
However, he felt that since Ji Yunshu could say such words, he might have thought about it.
"Your Ji family has military power and the support of the people of the North. You have money, people, and weapons. Since you have such an idea, why don't you do it?"
Ji Yunshu didn't know how this person could say such outrageous words.
Although the world today is plagued by internal and external troubles and cannot be described as a time of peace and prosperity, the emperor is diligently governing the country and the court officials are conscientious, so no major mistakes have been made.
It is still a long way from the country's demise.
Who would be stupid enough to rebel at this time?
Just as she was thinking this, she looked up and saw Prince Yong looking at her with burning eyes.
Oh, stupid guy here.
He also wanted to use his power to seduce her.
I don't know how this person knew that she was capable and ambitious.
She doesn't even know it herself.
"Of course it's because our Ji family has no problem with their brains. We wouldn't waste our good life on making trouble."
Prince Yong was not angry when she told him he had a mental problem. He even smiled. "You think I'm messing around? But what's wrong with that? I was born into a royal family. Even if I can't hold that position, I won't let anyone in that position live in peace."
Ji Yunshu: “…”
Sure enough, there is something wrong with his brain.
"It seems that the prince has made up his mind not to let me leave."
Prince Yong smiled and said, "Since you're here, you don't plan to leave just like that, do you? Although I don't know what you're planning, I advise you not to act rashly. I didn't intend to do anything to you, so don't blame me if you don't know what's good for you."
Ji Yunshu curled her lips and said, "Your Highness, you're overthinking it. I'm just an ordinary, weak woman. What could I possibly be thinking? If you're willing to let me go, I'd be incredibly grateful."
Prince Yong shook his head and said, "Take good care of Kun'er. He has a bad temper, so you have to be patient with him."
Seeing that he couldn't get any more information out of her, Ji Yunshu had no choice but to leave.
After she left, Prince Yong asked the secret guard, "Has she behaved in any unusual way these days?"
The secret guard shook his head: "No, I just went to the dungeon this morning, but it seems like I walked there accidentally."
Prince Yong was also wondering why Ji Yunshu happened to be there.
But on the island, not to mention Ji Yunshu, even Xiao Kun had few people he could trust, and no one would pass on information to them.
"What about her relationship with the prince? I don't think she's upset today."
A look of suspicion appeared on Prince Yong's face.
The secret guard said, "Not only did they not quarrel, they even leaned against each other and talked. However, I was afraid that the prince would find out, so I didn't dare get too close, so I didn't hear what they said."
Prince Yong paused, holding the teacup in his hand. "Talking together? What was the situation at that time?"
The secret guard recalled: "It seems that Miss Ji is not very happy, and the prince is trying to comfort her."
Prince Yong snorted, "Ji Yunshu and Zhao Shen have only been married for a little over two years, and they still don't have children. Their relationship isn't necessarily as good as it appears. Besides, there are no such things as chaste and heroic women in this world. With enough effort, you can always make her change her mind."
The secret guard lowered his head and did not dare to respond.
Ji Yunshu walked outside for a while before returning to the house. Xiao Kun had already woken up. When he saw her come in, he immediately asked, "Where have you been?"
Ji Yunshu said unhappily, "Why do you care about me?"
Xiao Kun said with a worried look on his face, "I didn't see you when I woke up. I was worried that something might have happened to you."
Ji Yunshu didn't appreciate it at all: "What could happen to me here? If you are really worried about my safety, why not let me go?"
Xiao Kun said angrily: "You have been here with me for so long, do you still want to go back to find Zhao Shen?"
Ji Yunshu: "He is my husband."
Xiao Kun looked indifferent: "So what? He won't believe that you are innocent. I advise you to give up the idea of leaving."
Ji Yunshu was so angry that he threw a cup and went back to his room.
As soon as she returned to the house, she pouted in boredom.
King Yong sent people to keep an eye on them and ensure that the daily dramas were performed.
However, King Yong's words today also revealed some information, such as the matter of the navy.
King Yong had been planning for many years, especially he had built his own nest on such an island.
So it is impossible for him not to pay attention to the water army.
He knew that Zhao Shen had mobilized the navy, but he was not in a hurry at all, which showed that he was very sure that the navy could not pose any threat to him.
Ji Yunshu felt helpless. With so many navy soldiers, finding the spy was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
What's more, she couldn't receive any news now, and didn't know what the situation was on Zhao Shen's side.
She was not worried about Zhao Shen's safety.
He is a careful and cautious person, and anyone who appears around him will be carefully checked.
Whatever she could think of, Zhao Shen would definitely notice.
