Chapter 94: It’s inconvenient for a single man and a single woman
Although the weather has started to get cooler these days, it is noon now and the sun is still very scorching.
Ji Yunshu didn't know how this person managed to stay in the sun every day without getting tanned.
Perhaps because there is no modern industrial pollution, the people here have very good skin.
She walked to a chair under the shade of a tree and sat down, thinking carelessly, and said casually: "Yes, my aunt is sick and doesn't look well."
Lan Ting was a little surprised: "Hasn't the Queen Mother always been in good health?"
Ji Yunshu rolled his eyes at him. "If you're healthy, you won't get sick, right? Even though you're so skilled, you can still get hurt, right?"
Lan Ting confirmed once again that she was in a really bad mood.
He stopped talking nonsense: "I'll leave tonight, don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble."
Ji Yunshu thought that he had almost finished his own affairs and would leave tomorrow, so it would be fine for him to leave tonight.
Otherwise, Qingchao and the others would be the only ones left in the yard, and he might discover something.
She returned to the room, and Lan Yin reported to her, "Master Yichen said that the poison in that man has been cured, but the process was very painful, so they gave him a drug that made him unconscious. He is still in a coma."
"When will you wake up?"
"The Taoist priest said that the dosage he used was very mild, and that the man was simply too tired and could be woken up at any time."
Ji Yunshu nodded: "Have you arranged everything else? We'll be in the palace for a while."
"Everything you ordered has been arranged."
As she spoke, she handed a wooden box to Ji Yunshu: "This was left by Master Yichen when he left. He said you might need it."
When Ji Yunshu opened it, he saw a few small porcelain bottles inside, each of which was thoughtfully labeled with its purpose.
Not only are there poisons and drugs, but there are also antidotes for common poisons on the market.
Ji Yunshu's lips curled up: "Master Yichen is such a good person."
These are what she needs most on this trip.
Ji Yunshu packed up everything, and early the next morning, a carriage entered the palace from the Changxing Marquis Mansion.
Everything in the palace is arranged by the emperor and the empress dowager.
Ji Yunshu boarded the ship heading west.
The boat has been chartered by Young Master Jinshi, who is anxious to return home.
Inside the cabin, Jin Shi looked at the woman in front of him with a complicated expression: "How do you know I will definitely listen to you?"
In order not to attract attention, Ji Yunshu disguised herself as a singer who was redeemed by Jin Shi and boarded the ship.
She smiled and said, "If you don't listen to me, why did you come to the capital?"
Jin Shi couldn't help but ask again, "Are all the noble ladies in your capital city so powerful?"
He did have other intentions for this trip, but he never expected the result to be like this.
How to say it?
The situation was better than he had imagined. The emperor in the imperial city was not completely ignorant.
But it was completely beyond his imagination that the person who came to solve the problem was actually the wife of a prince from a marquis's mansion.
Even if the prince of the Marquis's Mansion is a cripple, he can't just get a woman.
Although this woman is very smart.
But it's not convenient for them as they are a single man and a single woman.
Even if the prince of Changxing Marquisate is a cripple, it wouldn't be difficult for him to not care at all about his wife going out with another man.
Ji Yunshu saw what he was thinking and said with a smile, "Haven't you met any other ladies in the capital these days? I wonder what they look like."
In fact, if Ji Yunshu were to say, there are many women in the capital who are more capable than her.
Although Jin Shi was a playboy, he still had some dignity and did not continue to comment on the noble ladies in the capital.
Ji Yunshu didn't care and changed the subject: "Tell me, why did you come to the capital?"
Jin Shi was surprised: "I thought you already knew."
Ji Yunshu's fair fingers stroked the raised patterns on the teacup and said lightly, "I don't know much."
Jin Shi's original nonchalance was somewhat reduced when he heard her speak so cautiously.
He came to the capital just to try any possible means, without expecting to gain anything.
But he seems to be lucky.
Although Ji Yunshu is a woman, her identity and background cannot be ignored.
Under normal circumstances, such a person would be beyond the reach of the Jin family.
But now he has run to his boat by himself.
He thought to himself that if they could maintain good relations, their Jin family might not only be able to escape from the disaster, but also move to a higher level.
This is the girl from the Ji family.
"As you know, our Jin family has been in the medicinal herb business for generations. Over time, we have a rough idea of how much is on the market each year and where it goes."
“What’s different this year?”
"Someone was maliciously lowering the price and buying up large quantities of herbs. At first, my family didn't take it seriously. After all, this kind of thing happens all the time. But later we discovered that those people were buying up herbs from place to place. Although they controlled the amount they bought so that most herbs wouldn't be in short supply, the total number was still quite alarming."
Ji Yunshu listened very carefully, and she also understood Jin Shi's concerns.
Such a large amount of medicinal materials has exceeded the normal purchase volume, and it is hard not to doubt their whereabouts.
"It seems that you know where everything goes?"
Jin Shi's tone was a little cold: "Mobei."
When the Jin family realized that someone was collecting a large amount of medicinal materials for Mobei, they were shocked.
This is treason.
Everyone knows that the person behind the scenes who dares to do such a thing must be extraordinary.
So even if the Jin family discovered something, they didn't dare to tell anyone.
Especially when they found that the entire Suzhou government seemed to know nothing and let the other party do whatever they wanted, they dared not say anything.
But a large amount of medicinal materials flowed from Suzhou to Mobei, and the Jin family became restless.
Once the matter is discovered, those behind it may not be in trouble, but the Jin family will be the first to bear the brunt.
The Jin family wanted to break the impasse, but they didn't know who they could trust, so they could only let Jin Shi go to the capital to try his luck.
Jin Shi openly ate, drank and had fun every day in the capital, but secretly kept an eye on every clinic and drugstore.
After discovering that the newly opened clinic was in a special situation and was being ostracized, it was also opened by the daughter of the Ji family.
He knew what to do.
Anyone could have secret dealings with Mobei, but the Ji family, who have guarded the northern border for generations and have a blood feud with Mobei, would never do that.
He originally thought that there would be some twists and turns, and the person he wanted to contact was the son of the Marquis of Changxing or the man who was in charge of the Ji family.
Who knew that Ji Yunshu would come to his door directly and give him a surprise.
Seeing that Ji Yunshu didn't show any surprise when he heard the word Mobei, he knew that the person in front of him didn't know much and was definitely being modest.
He didn't mind, as long as someone took over the matter and their Jin family would not be accused of treason in the future.
"That's all I know."
Ji Yunshu sighed: "You've been away from Suzhou for some time, right?"
Jin Shi was confused: "It's been half a month. Why do you say that, Madam?"
Ji Yunshu said, "The emperor has already sent people to Suzhou to investigate, but the leader disappeared a few days ago."
It would take at least four or five days for a letter from Suzhou to reach the capital. Even if Zhao Shenyi disappeared, the people with him would have sent a letter back to the capital, and at least a week would have passed by then.
In fact, he may have been missing for even longer.
When Ji Yunshu thought of this, he became extremely anxious.
The longer he is missing, the slimmer the hope that Zhao Shen is still alive becomes.
Jin Shi was also stunned. The people sent by the emperor disappeared in Suzhou. Are those people going to rebel?
