Chapter 707 A Better Plan
When Xiao Kun received Zhao Shen's letter, his injuries had not yet healed.
Although it has rained a few times recently, the weather has not cooled down much. Instead, it has become even hotter and more humid.
Xiao Kun lay in bed with nothing to do, feeling irritable.
Ji Yunshu hadn't made any progress in the past few days. She had no knowledge of medicine, and even if she smelled the medicine on Prince Yong's body, she couldn't figure out what kind of medicine he was taking.
Fortunately, King Yong seemed to be certain that she would not cause any trouble on this island, so he did not have anyone keeping an eye on her these days.
She held her chin in her hand in a daze. When she heard Xiao Kun say something dirty, she couldn't help but look at him: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Kun hooked his finger at her: "Come over and I'll tell you."
Ji Yunshu didn't move: "Actually, I don't really want to know."
Xiao Kun glanced at her sideways: "It's related to your husband, don't you really want to know?"
Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying to her, Ji Yunshu stood up and walked to the bedside: "Is he in contact with you?"
Xiao Kun smiled and said, "You are still in my hands. How could he not contact me?"
Ji Yunshu also knew that it would be more convenient for Zhao Shen to contact Xiao Kun at this time: "What did he say to you?"
Talking about business, Xiao Kun stopped teasing her: "The Japanese pirates are attacking the coast again, and the navy has no time to deal with us for the time being."
Ji Yunshu blinked: "This doesn't conflict with our plan."
Before they figured out King Yong's trump card, they had no intention of sending the navy to attack the island.
Xiao Kun said, "He has a better plan. He wants the pirates to fight in our place."
"But aren't the pirates in league with Prince Yong?"
Xiao Kun told the story of Zheng Yi again, "As long as we find this man, the pirates can be used by us."
"According to you, he's been missing for a long time. Even if we find him, those pirates won't necessarily listen to him, right?"
Xiao Kun leaned against the headboard and tilted his head to look at her: "According to Zhao Shen's guess, he is still alive. If his guess is correct, why do you think King Yong kept him until now?"
Ji Yunshu understood that no matter why, this person must still be useful to King Yong.
"So we still have to find a way to explore that dungeon. There are so many guards there, how can we get in without alerting anyone?"
In order to save Yin Shu, Ji Yunshu has been secretly investigating the situation in the dungeon these days.
There is no clue yet.
If Zhao Shen's guess is correct, then Zheng Yi is most likely also in that dungeon.
Xiao Kun asked: "Use medicine?"
Ji Yunshu shook his head: "There are too many people."
There is no medicine that can knock out so many people at once.
Thinking of this, Ji Yunshu suddenly had an idea: "Do you think it's possible that Prince Yong was poisoned?"
She observed Prince Yong for several days and found no signs of illness.
But he was taking medicine.
Xiao Kun looked at her: "What do you mean?"
Ji Yunshu recalled the abnormalities she had noticed about Prince Yong: "He coughs occasionally, but he doesn't look sick. When I first saw him, I thought his skin was very pale, and I thought he was covered in sweat from staying in the house for too long, but what if that's not the case?"
Poisoning is different from being sick. When poison affects the human body, it usually manifests itself in the hair, skin, nails and other small parts.
Xiao Kun felt that what she said made sense: "How can you confirm your guess?"
Ji Yunshu was also a little embarrassed: "Prince Yong is really afraid of death. It's very difficult to get close to him."
She had only met Prince Yong a few times, but they had never been alone together.
In addition to the guards in the open, she could sense that there were more people hiding in the dark.
Everything he puts into his mouth has to be inspected several times and someone else tastes it. He is more cautious than the emperor.
Ji Yunshu had never seen anyone so afraid of death.
Xiao Kun was amused by her words: "Maybe he has done too many bad things, even I want to kill him, so he should be careful."
Ji Yunshu: "Then how do we verify whether he is poisoned?"
Xiao Kun thought for a moment and said, "I have a way to get close to him, but how can I verify that he's been poisoned?"
Some chronic poisons have no symptoms before they take effect.
"Isn't he taking medicine? Can some of the dregs do the trick?"
Although she had no knowledge of medicine, she smelled all the herbs while studying spices.
As long as she could get the medicine residue, she could roughly judge what medicine King Yong was drinking.
Xiao Kun said, "Let me try."
Ji Yunshu nodded, guessing that he must have buried someone next to Prince Yong, otherwise it would not be easy to do.
After the discussion, Xiao Kun saw that Ji Yunshu looked bored and couldn't help asking, "What do you usually do with Zhao Shen?"
Ji Yunshu looked at him strangely, but thinking about it, it was indeed a bit awkward for a man and a woman to be alone in a room like this.
So he said, "He spends most of his time reading, and I just do whatever comes to mind."
Xiao Kun: "Won't this be boring?"
Ji Yunshu shook his head: "No, he is usually very busy and has little time to accompany me."
Xiao Kun tilted his head back and said nothing more.
Ji Yunshu felt that the way he looked up at the bed curtains was a little lonely.
"Do you still like her?"
She couldn't help but ask.
Xiao Kun closed his eyes and said, "Yes, I do. Isn't it said that the people you like when you are young are the most unforgettable? She has always stayed in my youth. How could I forget her?"
Ji Yunshu had a feeling that Xiao Kun had also remained in his youth.
Now he is more like a walking corpse.
She wanted to say that there is more to life than just love, but in the end, she was the beneficiary.
"Why didn't you tell her then?"
The original owner had no idea what Xiao Kun felt for her.
If she knew, she might have a different attitude when facing the matter between Zhao Heng and Yao Ruolan.
Xiao Kun smiled bitterly: "She is the jewel in the Ji family's palm. She has a marriage arranged since childhood and a stable future. What can I give her except adding to her distress?"
Ji Yunshu discovered that he had the same mentality as Lan Ting did back then.
"So you're doing your best to help Lan Ting and Xiao Yue, also to make up for your own regrets?"
Lan Ting is Xiao Kun's man. Without his permission, he would not have been able to escape so easily and become the son-in-law of the Prince's Mansion.
Xiao Kun said, "Yes, he once wanted to give up, but that made him feel so miserable that he wanted to die. At that time, I seemed to see my former self. If I had been brave enough to express my feelings and take her away from the trouble, wouldn't everything have turned out like this?"
At that time, he only felt that there were countless obstacles in front of him.
He thought it didn't matter if she got married, he would become stronger, and when he had the ability to protect her, they could be together.
But now think about it, there is no resistance, he should have eloped with her at that time.
No matter what the result is, it is better than now.
"Perhaps."
Ji Yunshu didn't know what to say. At this point, she couldn't really remember the book anymore.
But now it is discovered that both Zhao Shen and Xiao Kun are actually more like the male protagonist than Zhao Heng.
