Chapter 198 Stay away from him from now on
Seeing Zhao Shen's strange look, Ji Yunshu couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Shouldn't I have helped him at that time?"
Unfortunately, it was not her who helped Xiao Kun at that time.
If she could have come through so early, she would definitely have gotten rid of King Yong early.
But think about it, this is the era of imperial power. Is Prince Yong the only one who has the ambition to seize power and usurp the throne?
Zhao Shen shook his head and said nothing, but told Ji Yunshu: "Stay away from him in the future."
For some reason, as soon as Zhao Shen said this, Ji Yunshu had a feeling that he would inevitably meet Xiao Kun in the future.
But she still nodded seriously: "I know."
The two talked for a long time when Jingzhe came in to report that someone had indeed sneaked into the Jingzhao prison to kill Chen You last night.
However, after being caught red-handed, the man committed suicide.
Jingzhe apologized with a guilty look on his face.
Zhao Shen wasn't surprised at all: "Don't we already know how these people behave? I'm glad they didn't hurt anyone."
Jingzhe said: "That's not the case. Just now, our people personally sent Prince Chen back to the Earl's Mansion in front of everyone. Whatever happens to him in the future has nothing to do with us."
Zhao Shen nodded.
Ji Yunshu found it really annoying that Lu Ningshuang's men committed suicide as soon as they were captured: "These people are too rampant. They can throw people into the Jingzhao Prefecture Jail at will. Is there really no way to deal with it?"
Zhao Shen smiled and comforted her: "It's not a desperate situation yet. As long as everyone is safe, don't worry, they won't be able to run rampant for much longer."
Ji Yunshu knew that although he seemed to be resting these days, he was actually very busy. It was obvious that he was doing something that could not be made public, so he did not say anything more.
Instead, Zhao Shen asked her, "What's the matter with you coming here?"
Ji Yunshu then remembered that he had come to Jingzhe to ask something, so he told him his purpose.
After hearing what she said, Jingzhe had someone bring a small booklet to Ji Yunshu and explained, "According to your instructions, I asked a maid who sweeps the yard in Madam Yao's yard to record the people she meets every day. I also had someone monitor the people Madam often sees these days, and also recorded who they met and where they went."
Ji Yunshu flipped through the booklet, which detailed the people Yao met that day.
She nodded with satisfaction: "Thank you very much."
Jingzhe quickly said, "I don't deserve it."
Ji Yunshu sat down and flipped through the book. At first he couldn't make out anything, but the more he flipped through it, the more unusual it seemed.
Finally, she ticked off a few names and told Jingzhe, "Keep a close eye on these people from now on."
Jingzhe took a look and said puzzledly: "These people are not taken seriously."
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "It's just a message. There's no need for anyone important to do it."
She pointed at one of the names and said, "This one may seem insignificant, but running errands like this can bring you into contact with many people."
Jingzhe nodded: "I understand."
Zhao Shen saw that Ji Yunshu had his own plan, so he did not interfere.
Over the years, he has always felt that Yao had ill intentions, but he has never been able to find any evidence.
After a long time, he was no longer in a hurry.
"You want to find out all the spies that Yao has planted in the mansion?"
Ji Yunshu shook his head. "She's been in charge of the household for years. All the maids and servants belong to her. If she asks for something to be done or a message to be passed on, who can say no? These are all insignificant matters. What I want is to cut off her connection with Prince Yong's Mansion. On her own, she can't cause any major trouble in this inner courtyard."
At this point, she looked at Zhao Shen and said, "Of course, this could be a very long process. She may not have had any involvement in the previous incidents, and we won't be able to find the so-called evidence."
This is where the Yao family's strength lies. She was the biggest beneficiary when Zhao Shen and his mother got into trouble. You knew it was her, but she didn't do it herself, so there is no evidence.
Ji Yunshu sneered: "She and Prince Yong are a perfect match."
The emperor already knew what Prince Yong was going to do, and he had made many moves, but there was no clue pointing to Prince Yong.
This is really a frustrating thing.
Zhao Shen said: "It's not that there is really no way, but it hasn't reached that point yet. Let's wait and see."
He didn't know why his father insisted on not letting him touch Yao's mother and son, but he thought there must be a reason.
After all these years, he is not in a hurry.
Ji Yunshu didn't want to waste his good life, and kept thinking about these things. He said a few words to Zhao Shen and went back to his room.
Lan Yin saw her return and helped Ji Yunshu take off her outer clothes while chatting about some trivial matters. Finally, she said, "Someone outside just delivered a letter, saying it was from a girl from the Cen family. I thought for a long time before I remembered the wealthy Cen family. But you have never dealt with them, so I don't know why they sent you a letter."
Ji Yunshu asked with a smile, "Since you know I have no friendship with their family, why are you still bringing this up?"
Because of her identity here, she doesn't like to go out and socialize, but she receives a lot of posts and letters every day.
Generally, when something like this is sent to her by someone she has never dealt with before, the people around her will deal with it and will never send it to her.
Lan Yin said, "I seem to remember you saying before that Miss Yao from the Second Young Master's room had adopted a sworn brother named Cen. I figured it was just a letter, better than missing anything."
Ji Yunshu asked this on purpose just now, but she didn't expect Lan Yin to be so attentive and remember everything she said casually.
Then he asked, "What did the letter say?"
Lan Yin said: "It was just delivered in. It's for you."
As she spoke, she handed a letter to Ji Yunshu.
Ji Yunshu didn't hesitate and opened the letter to read it before saying with a smile, "This girl from the Cen family is quite bold."
Lan Yin asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Ji Yunshu handed the letter to her. Lan Yin was a little surprised after reading it: "This is a family matter of the Cen family, right? Why did Miss Cen come to you?"
The girl from the Cen family wrote clearly about the Cen family in the letter.
The Cen family is one of the richest business families in Beijing, but they have few descendants.
The previous generation of the Cen family's head had only one daughter, so he found a son-in-law.
Unexpectedly, after getting married, Miss Cen only gave birth to a daughter and passed away within a few years.
Old Master Cen had no choice but to train his son-in-law. Over the years, much of the Cen family's huge fortune fell into the hands of his son-in-law.
But this year, Old Master Cen discovered that his good son-in-law, Cen Zhang, not only had a mistress outside, but their son was almost twenty years old.
And his granddaughter is only seventeen.
In other words, Cen Zhang had already married and had children before he married into the Cen family.
Old Master Cen was so angry that he fell ill and relied on his granddaughter to support the family.
Who would have thought that Cen Zhang wanted to openly recognize his son as the inheritor of the Cen family's business.
Old Master Cen naturally refused, and the matter had already reached a deadlock.
But Zhao Heng intervened, and the Cen family could not afford to offend the Marquis' Mansion. Old Master Cen had no choice but to agree to officially open the ancestral hall during the New Year ancestor worship to recognize Cen Yi and record him in the family tree.
Miss Cen was forced into a corner and wrote this letter.
In the letter, Miss Cen promised that if Ji Yunshu helped her prevent Cen Yi from entering the Cen family, she would give half of the Cen family's property in return.
