Chapter 694 The Only Chance
Seeing him, Ji Yunshu subconsciously turned his head to look at Zhao Shen.
Zhao Shen nodded slightly: "Long time no see."
He didn't look surprised at all, as if he had come to keep an appointment.
Ji Yunshu finally understood why he chose this time to come.
He clearly knew that he would meet Xiao Kun this time.
Then he smiled and said, "Did you make an appointment?"
Xiao Kun said unhappily, "Who made an appointment with him? I was waiting for you."
Ji Yunshu deliberately exposed him: "Do I need to make such a big scene?"
She pulled Zhao Shen to sit at the table, "You even prepared some wine? Are you planning to have a drink with me?"
Nowadays, there is no such thing as a man sitting alone at a table drinking with a married woman.
Xiao Kun rolled his eyes at her and said, "You're such a jerk."
Ji Yunshu picked up the wine jug and poured a glass for her and Zhao Shen: "Just make it clear, you are the one who is outside, okay?"
Xiao Kun said angrily: "I won't give you my wine."
"Don't be so stingy." Ji Yunshu took a sip of the wine and praised, "It's actually iced plum wine, it's really delicious."
Zhao Shen noticed that the two of them spoke very familiarly, as if they were friends who had not seen each other for many years.
But there was no ambiguous atmosphere between men and women, so I knew that Xiao Kun had really let it go.
He raised his glass to Xiao Kun and said, "No matter what, you helped us a lot this time. This glass is for you as a token of gratitude."
Xiao Kun said arrogantly: "Who helped you? I just couldn't stand Yu Chuannan's behavior."
"You are such a good person."
Ji Yunshu was very attentive in giving him the good guy card.
Xiao Kun glared at her, and seeing that she didn't react, he felt that he was childish.
Then he turned to Zhao Shen and said, "Now that the Yu family's affairs are settled, what are your plans next?"
Zhao Shen twirled the wine glass with his fingers: "Didn't the prince come here because he guessed our intentions?"
Xiao Kun curled his lips: "You are full of tricks, how can I guess? Coming here is just a coincidence."
Ji Yunshu was speechless at his arrogance: "Since you don't know, then I will ask directly, where is your father?"
Xiao Kun almost spit out his wine: "You're just asking directly like that?"
Ji Yunshu said confidently, "Yes, that's why we came to see you. Weren't you just angry when I called you an outsider? This time, we won't be distant with you."
"Then you are really not shy." Xiao Kun gritted his teeth.
After a pause, he added, "I don't know where he is."
Ji Yunshu was surprised: "Weren't you captured by his people? Didn't you see anyone?"
Xiao Kun said, "I was brought to him after being knocked unconscious. I was drugged for a long time and couldn't move my body. I couldn't explore the surrounding environment."
Ji Yunshu was suspicious: "Then how did you get to Hangzhou?"
Xiao Kun said, "He threatened me with Yin Shu's life and had me brought to Hangzhou. I was unconscious the whole way. I only knew it was probably an island."
This is consistent with Zhao Shen's guess.
Ji Yunshu then asked, "Based on the itinerary, can't you figure out which island it is?"
Xiao Kun shook his head: "Those people were very cautious. We drifted on the sea for several days, but I think the island should be not far from here."
Ji Yunshu: “…”
This is really cautious.
"Since it was his idea for you to come here, then wouldn't everything you're doing now harm Yin Shu?"
Xiao Kun shook his head: "How do you know that everything I did was not his intention?"
Ji Yunshu was suddenly startled: "He did it on purpose, what does he want to do?"
Xiao Kun's eyes moved between her and Zhao Shen several times, and finally asked, "If, I mean if, he stayed on that island and never came out to cause trouble again, would the emperor let him go?"
Zhao Shen asked without any hesitation: "Do you believe this yourself?"
After dealing with him for so long, he has some understanding of King Yong. He is not a man who keeps to himself.
Nor will I be willing to be inferior to others.
If he had been quiet, so many things wouldn't have happened.
Xiao Kun laughed self-deprecatingly: "So, we have to fight to the death? Have you ever considered that he might not be the loser in the end?"
Prince Yong has been planning for so long, and who knows how many cards he has up his sleeve to save his life.
Even that island may not be his final destination.
Zhao Shen looked at Xiao Kun and said, "I thought you wanted him dead more than I did? So I was wrong?"
Xiao Kun drank a glass of wine, and after a while, he said, "Yes, I am the one who wants him dead the most. But Zhao Shen, what if the price is that you are buried with him?"
Zhao Shen gradually understood what was going on: "It's related to my body. Is it a poison?"
Xiao Kun said, "I've asked around. There's only one antidote to the fatal Gu in your body, and it's in his hands. He said himself that if anything happens to him, he'll definitely destroy the antidote."
Ji Yunshu's heart sank. Now that Zhao Shen's body was normal, Ji Yunshu subconsciously stopped thinking about the poison in his body.
But now, I have to face it after all.
Zhao Shen said decisively: "There's nothing to say. I won't let him go this time."
Ji Yunshu pulled his hand.
It was so hot, but her hands were cold.
She turned to Xiao Kun and asked, "You have a solution, right?"
Xiao Kun took a deep breath: "He's not afraid of death, why are you worrying about it?"
Ji Yunshu shook his head and looked at him pleadingly, "You know that's not the case. Only when Prince Yong dies can we all live in peace. Otherwise, who knows what he'll do while hiding in the dark?"
Xiao Kun sighed: "It's not that there is no way. Let's find a way to get the antidote first, detoxify you, and then deal with him. What do you think?"
Zhao Shen frowned. "Such an important thing, he must have hidden it somewhere very secret. How can I even begin to find it?"
The antidote is not like other things. It is too small and difficult to find no matter where it is hidden.
Xiao Kun smiled and said, "He came up with a brilliant idea. He placed the antidote among the pile of medicines. No one could tell which one was the real antidote."
Ji Yunshu: "Can't you eat it all?"
Xiao Kun shook his head: "There are many poisons that kill instantly upon contact with blood."
In other words, eating it will definitely kill you.
Zhao Shen raised his eyebrows: "Since the prince has spoken out about this, there must be a solution, right?"
Xiao Kun said, "I asked the doctor. Those pills look exactly the same. If there's any difference, it's probably because they use different drugs and dosages, so the taste is slightly different. I asked which pill has a unique ingredient."
When he said this, he looked at Ji Yunshu.
The meaning is self-evident. Ji Yunshu's sense of smell is extremely sharp. If there is anyone who can distinguish different medicines from a pile of pills, it is probably her.
But before Ji Yunshu could say anything, Zhao Shen said, "I don't agree."
Xiao Kun said: "This may be your only chance, otherwise you will be buried with him."
