Chapter 204 Don't Doubt Me
When Ji Yunshu woke up, his head was still dizzy.
She raised her hand and rubbed her forehead. Thinking of what happened before, she felt sick all over.
Zhao Shen was sitting leaning against the headboard of the bed. Seeing her move, he lowered his head and asked, "How are you feeling? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
Ji Yunshu said weakly, "I don't feel well anywhere."
Zhao Shen paused before saying, "Let's eat something first."
As he said this, he stood up and called for help. After a while, Lu Ru came in with a food box and placed the food on a small table directly on the bed.
Ji Yunshu originally had no appetite, but when he smelled the aroma of the black chicken soup, he felt hungry.
I stretched out my hand and wanted to pick up the bowl to eat, but as soon as I moved my arm, I felt a piercing pain.
Only then did she remember that she had cut several wounds on her right hand and arm in order to resist the effects of the medicine.
The last few blows were especially fierce.
Ji Yunshu was very afraid of the pain and suddenly felt that he had suffered a great loss. He had to ask the emperor for some compensation.
While she was thinking, Zhao Shen had already stepped forward, picked up the soup bowl, scooped a spoonful of soup and fed it to his mouth: "The doctor said that you need to take good care of your arm."
Ji Yunshu ate the meal mouthful by mouthful as he fed her. She felt as if she had become a cripple and her whole body was in discomfort.
"Aunt, you don't know about this, right? What's going on in the palace?"
Zhao Shen sat down next to her and slowly said, "On New Year's Eve, an assassin entered the palace. The emperor mobilized the imperial guards, but it didn't cause any panic, and the palace banquet was canceled. Queen Mother, I didn't know about your injury."
Ji Yunshu breathed a sigh of relief. This matter could not be explained in a few words.
If an explanation is really required, neither Zhao Shen nor the emperor can escape.
Ji Yunshu didn't want to make his aunt worry about him, nor did he want her to vent her anger on others, so he remained silent.
She looked at her arm and said, "This little injury will heal in a few days, so don't tell my aunt about it."
Zhao Shen nodded: "The emperor is eager for you to say this. When I took you out of the palace, he was still worried about how to explain to the Queen Mother."
Ji Yunshu laughed: "No matter how much my aunt loves me, she can still go beyond the emperor. He himself has been poisoned, so why should he worry about this?"
Zhao Shen said, "That's not necessarily true. Being injured is secondary. He doesn't dare let the Queen Mother know that you were both drugged."
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "I don't dare to say it either. It's not something glorious to talk about. It's better to just pretend it never happened."
Zhao Shen felt a little distressed: "I'll just stay with you forever."
Ji Yunshu rolled his eyes at him. "What nonsense! Not to mention that it's the harem, you can't go there. You've been so busy these days, are you going to waste all your efforts just closing the net?"
Although Zhao Shen didn't say it, she was not stupid and could naturally guess what he was busy with these days.
Zhao Shen carefully avoided her arms and pulled her into his arms: "Don't you feel wronged?"
Ji Yunshu looked up at him and saw that his eyes were dark and filled with obvious displeasure. He raised his uninjured hand and pinched his handsome face. "Even the emperor was drugged and plotted against. What else can I feel wronged about? Fortunately, we are all fine."
Being in the game and enjoying wealth and glory, how could she not pay anything?
I was lucky to have only minor injuries.
She didn't know what Zhao Shen was upset about, so she changed the subject and said, "The one who would use such a trick is Lu Ningshuang, right? Did you catch her?"
There is no one in the world who wants to destroy her more than Lu Ningshuang, not to mention that she can use this as a sow of discord between Zhao Shen and the emperor.
When she figured this out, she actually admired Lu Ningshuang a little.
For Lu Ningshuang, it was not a wise move to target her.
If she hadn't done that, she wouldn't have noticed it and would have been exposed so quickly.
But she is not purely in love. Everything she does is carefully considered and beneficial to her own plans.
Just like this time, although her fundamental purpose may be to destroy herself, it does not prevent her from taking the emperor, Zhao Shen and the Ji family into account at the same time.
Zhao Shen knew she would definitely ask this, so he didn't hide it: "No."
Ji Yunshu looked at him suspiciously: "How could she escape from your hands?"
Her expression almost asked if you had deliberately let the person go.
Zhao Shen couldn't help but lean over and cover her mouth tightly, until she was almost out of breath, then he removed his lips.
He pressed his forehead against Ji Yunshu's and whispered, "Don't doubt me."
Ji Yunshu didn't really doubt Zhao Shen. She was angry the last time only because Zhao Shen concealed his transaction with Lu Ningshuang, not because she suspected that he had anything to do with Lu Ningshuang.
He was so close that Ji Yunshu could see her own reflection in his dark pupils. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Then tell me, how did she escape?"
"She had planned it all beforehand, and she knew that no matter whether last night's plan succeeded or not, I would not let her go, so she left the capital early."
Ji Yunshu was surprised. Most people would only feel at ease after seeing a plan being successfully implemented.
Lu Ningshuang actually arranged everything and left directly.
"Have you figured out why she is loyal to Prince Yong's Mansion?"
Ji Yunshu suddenly felt that this question was very important.
Zhao Shen said, "I've checked. There's no doubt about her identity. She's the daughter of the Lu family. But Lord Lu doesn't know why she's working for Prince Yong's Mansion."
Ji Yunshu sneered: "If you say Madam Lu doesn't know, I believe it, but Prime Minister Lu, the problem may not lie with him."
"I've checked, and Lu Ningshuang did everything behind her family's back, and Prime Minister Lu was unaware of it."
“Don’t tell me you really believe this. Lu Ningshuang’s actions are not small. How could she really keep someone like Lu Xiang secret?”
Zhao Shen looked at her and laughed, "I thought so too, but Prime Minister Lu has been in the court for many years and his power is deeply entrenched. He can't be moved anytime soon. The emperor wants to help someone else take over first. The situation in the court has changed a lot in the past few months. Anyone with a discerning eye should be able to see what's going on. After all, Prince Yong is a step behind in terms of legitimacy."
Prince Yong had been planning for many years, but he had only been secretly colluding with some people. Of course, no normal person would easily do something like treason.
So he didn't have any advantages.
The reason why the characters in the book were able to win was because of the help of the protagonist, who also hid in the dark and made people defenseless.
Now Zhao Heng is still struggling between the two women.
Yao Ruolan did not show any uniqueness, nor did she have any connection with Prince Yong's Mansion.
Ji Yunshu thought about it and felt that things were moving in a good direction.
"So, Prince Yong doesn't have much chance of winning. Where do you think Lu Ningshuang will go after leaving the capital?"
Ji Yunshu felt that he had underestimated Lu Ningshuang before. Even if she was just a chess piece, she should be a very important chess piece.
It is even very likely the chess player.
She couldn't just stay silent like that, so her next move became very important.
Ji Yunshu had a premonition that Lu Ningshuang would be a big trouble in the future.
Thinking of this, she looked at Zhao Shen with some dissatisfaction.
Zhao Shen immediately saw what she was thinking and said helplessly, "This really has nothing to do with me. Her position will not change whether I am there or not."
Ji Yunyun curled her lips and smiled, "Since she likes you so much, have you ever thought of using her beauty to trick her into changing her stance for you?"
