Chapter 594: The closest relatives
Wujina was stunned for a moment, but she didn't deny it. "It's definitely related to the Biling Pill. Bilige got it first. The witch doctor was really at his wit's end, so he tried everything. Fortunately, he stumbled upon the antidote."
Ji Yunshu suppressed his doubts and asked, "Can I know the principle behind this? Is it that the Biling Pill can cure the poison he's been poisoned with?"
Wujina shook her head. "No, if that were the case, we would have thought of using the Biling Pill long ago. The Biling Pill is indeed a poison. The witch doctor didn't understand what was going on. In the end, they tried it because they had no other options. From what the witch doctor said, it seemed like they were fighting poison with poison. Although this method cured the poison, it also caused great damage to Bilige's body. He will always be weak in the future."
Ji Yunshu nodded. She could actually see that Bilige was only a little better than before, when he looked like he was about to die at any moment.
But compared with normal people, it is obviously very weak.
His breath is much weaker than others.
"If that's the case, why not just take good care of him? Why bother being a prime minister? It's a waste of time and energy."
Wujina said helplessly, "I hope he's well taken care of, but Mobei is facing internal and external troubles right now. I can't handle it all by myself. He's the only one I can trust."
Ji Yunshu raised an eyebrow: "So he is the person you trust most in this world? What is your relationship now?"
Her question sounded a bit gossipy.
He blinked deliberately while speaking.
I thought Wujina wouldn't answer, but she said frankly, "Bilige's mother was a slave girl. You should know what happens to slave girls in Mobei. He's very likely not my father's son. My father just wanted to support someone to fight against my mother, and he didn't care whether this person was his own son or not."
Ji Yunshu was amazed. People in this era attached great importance to bloodline and offspring, especially the people from Mobei.
Their tribe is formed based on bloodline.
But now Wujina told him that the former King of Mobei didn't care at all whether the person who succeeded him was his own son or not.
But now is not the time to think about this, she quickly pulled her thoughts back: "Then you and Bilige..."
There is no way to do a paternity test now. Even if Bilige's mother was a slave at the time and had relationships with many men, as long as the King of Mobei was one of them, it means that he might be the King of Mobei's son.
He could also be Wujina’s biological brother.
Ji Yunshu still found it difficult to accept this kind of relationship.
Wujina looked at her expression, as if she knew what she was thinking. She said speechlessly, "What are you thinking about? We are siblings who grew up together, comrades who fought side by side. No matter what time, we are the closest family in the world. We agreed at the beginning that no matter who ascends the throne, the other will assist wholeheartedly. Now is the best outcome."
Ji Yunshu: “…”
She has a dirty mind.
She could see that Wujina's words were sincere, and she really regarded Bilige as her closest relative.
But when the two were together just now, the way Bilige looked at Wujina was not like the way he looked at his sister.
As far as Ji Yunshu could see, that look was not innocent at all.
But Wu Rina didn't know, and Ji Yunshu wouldn't point it out.
Maybe Bilige planned to keep it secret for the rest of his life.
Both of them are capable people, and supporting each other may help Mobei reach a higher level.
Ji Yunshu couldn't tell whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, but with their intelligence, they wouldn't easily drag the people into the war.
As for the future, in Zhao Shen's words, there will always be a way to solve it.
She didn't say anything, but Wujina was a little dissatisfied: "Why are you looking like that? Do you think I have any illicit relationship with my brother?"
Ji Yunshu quickly shook his head: "No, you said that yourself."
Wujina seemed distressed. "But it's not just you. My cousin also thinks I'm too nice to Bilige. Not to mention that he's my brother, even if he wasn't, he's capable, so I'd naturally use him. What's the problem with that?"
"Helian Ye?" Ji Yunshu thought of the people who colluded with Prince Yong's Mansion to harm her in Wuning last time, and curled her lips. "Maybe he's not dissatisfied with you using Bilige, but is just jealous. After all, capable people are always envied."
Wujina didn't think so. "My cousin's feelings towards Bilige are no longer just jealousy; they're hatred. He's trying every possible way to kill Bilige. If this continues, my relationship with the Ulan tribe will also be affected."
This is what really gives Wujina a headache.
Her current foundation is unstable and what she needs is the support of the Ulan tribe, not this kind of internal friction.
She even felt that her cousin was being unreasonable.
Ji Yunshu didn't know why Wujina told her about the conflict between her and Helian Ye.
But this is not a secret. The letter sent back by the Mobei Royal Court detailed Helian Ye's ambush of Bilige, and he almost succeeded once.
It is obvious that the conflict between these two people has reached an irreconcilable point.
Ji Yunshu found it strange: "There must be a reason, right? If Helian Ye did this for no reason, how could he possibly get the support of the Ulan tribe?"
Wujina said, "Many people are unhappy with my ascension to the throne, so I really need the support of the Ulan tribe. However, the Ulan tribe proposed to continue the marriage and let my cousin become the king's consort. Bilige rejected this idea, saying that I have a natural blood relationship with the Ulan tribe, and there is no need to waste the position of king's consort."
Ji Yunshu: "...Do you think Bilige is right?"
Wujina said, "Of course, as long as I am the king of Mobei, no one can shake the position of the Wulan tribe. There is absolutely no need to strengthen our relationship through marriage."
Ji Yunshu just wanted to say that she was worthy of being a queen, considering things only from the perspective of interests and ignoring feelings.
Helian Ye looks like a rough man, but he is actually very thoughtful. He probably sees the relationship between Wujina and Bilige more clearly than anyone else.
However, it was not appropriate for Ji Yunshu to reveal such things, and she also doubted Wujina's intention in telling her these things.
She thought for a while before she smiled and said, "Have you ever thought that your cousin wants to be the king's husband not for marriage, but because he likes you?"
Wujina's eyes widened in shock. "What nonsense are you talking about? In my heart, my cousin is no different from my own brother. We grew up playing together. I know his personality very well. There's no way he likes me."
"Why not? We grew up together and have a deep bond. Wouldn't it be easy for him to like you?"
Ji Yunshu didn't know why Wujina was so sure. Helian Ye's behavior clearly showed that he was eating something wrong.
Wuzhina said: "He told me that he has a sweetheart."
Ji Yunshu: "...Why can't that sweetheart be you?"
