Chapter 386 Listen to Yao's Words
To be fair, Ji Yunshu felt that he had never expressed any special expectations.
Because she knew from the beginning that this was a place completely different from the world she had lived in, she reminded herself all the time not to behave abnormally.
Even though she knew what Zhao Shen had guessed, she didn't think he could guess it all.
People are restricted by their environment, and the emperor's view of women has shocked her.
But that’s all. So far, the emperor has not put his ideas into practice.
He might even have kept her in the harem in order to protect the queen.
To be honest, although she always admired the Queen's difficulties, she never felt that she was any different from other women in this world.
Therefore, Zhao Shen would never have thought that in the world she lived in, there was indeed nothing that men could do but women could not, so women could do everything they could.
Zhao Shen looked at her profile and thought of everything she had shown in front of him. Although she had tried her best to cover it up, some things were deep in her bones and could not be concealed.
And Ji Yunshu herself didn't seem to know that in his eyes, she was special from the very beginning.
Zhao Shen smiled and said, "Your expectations are too high. Perhaps we will never see them in our lifetime."
Ji Yunshu was stunned for a moment before saying, "I know."
Many things require the efforts of generations of people and time to settle.
She had always known this, so she never held out any hope.
Zhao Shen rubbed her head and said, "Don't think too much. You are already very capable. The emperor wanted to let you handle Wujina's matter without alerting the court officials. It's actually not complicated. You don't need to feel too much pressure."
"How can there not be pressure? If something goes wrong and a war breaks out, it will cost thousands of lives."
Zhao Shen always thought that Ji Yunshu was good in every way except that she was too soft-hearted.
At all times, she seemed to consider ordinary people first.
"When war breaks out, there will always be disappointments. There's nothing we can do about it. But if that day ever comes, it definitely won't be because of you."
Ji Yunshu rolled his eyes: "I'm not some evil queen who brings disaster to the country, what virtue or ability do I have?"
She was just afraid that things would go wrong and the consequences would be disastrous.
But when that time really comes, she will not take the responsibility on herself.
Zhao Shen found that she was really contradictory, but she was able to be self-consistent.
I have to say, this is also a powerful ability.
He took Ji Yunshu to another courtyard and said, "Everyone is living near the palace, and it's not easy to ask them to give up their space. So I simply asked them to move to my own courtyard. This courtyard was given to me by the emperor. It's not far from the palace, and more importantly, it's large and has a good environment."
Ji Yunshu couldn't help but sigh that the emperor was really good to Zhao Shen.
This kind of villa built near the summer palace is simply priceless and cannot be bought even if you have money.
The items in the emperor's hands were probably confiscated from a family that had committed a crime.
After all, he had to spend the whole summer here, so Ji Yunshu didn't want to squeeze in with others.
Then he asked, "Are Yao and the others going together?"
Zhao Shen shook his head. "Before we moved, Zhao Heng and Yao had a quarrel. After that, Yao claimed she was not feeling well and returned home with Zhao Heng and Yao Ruolan, leaving only the two sisters from the third room here."
Ji Yunshu was surprised: "Did Zhao Heng know that it was Yao who set the fire?"
Zhao Shen said: "Not only that, he seems to have evidence in his hands. Yao must have been forced to leave by him."
Ji Yunshu knew the purpose of Yao's visit, and it was certainly not just to kill Yao Ruolan.
This kind of thing can be done in the capital, so there is no need to cause trouble under the emperor's nose and increase the risk unnecessarily.
But Zhao Heng refused to cooperate, and no matter what she did, it was useless.
Ji Yunshu felt that if he were Yao, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood.
"What about Princess Taining and Wei Yuanmin?"
She couldn't quite understand where things were headed.
Not only did Yao work for Prince Yong for many years, she was also his woman.
Princess Taining was destined to be in the same camp with her, and the two had decades of friendship. Could it be possible that they would turn against each other over such a thing?
Ji Yunshu felt that this possibility was not very high.
No matter how much the princess dotes on Wei Yuanmin, she would not ignore the overall situation.
If something really happened to Wei Yuanmin, that would be a different matter, but after all, isn't he fine now?
With Yao's means, this matter may not be impossible to resolve.
Zhao Shen shook his head when she asked this: "I have made it clear that Princess Taining and Wei Yuanmin have not left."
Ji Yunshu nodded, which meant that these people would not cause any trouble in the short term.
It took them nearly half an hour to reach the villa.
It is indeed a very large courtyard, with five entrances.
There were only a few of them, and they might not come to this kind of place many times a year. Ji Yunshu couldn't help but feel that it was a bit of a waste.
As soon as she entered the door, Zhao Xuan came forward and excitedly called out to Ji Yunshu, "Sister-in-law, you're finally back."
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "I came a little late because of something. You didn't get enough rest last night, why don't you go back and rest?"
Zhao Xuan quickly said, "I just woke up, and since my sister-in-law hasn't come yet, I'm a little worried."
Ji Yunshu said, "I'm fine. This is our own villa. If you need anything or want something to eat, just tell the steward. You're welcome."
Zhao Xuan smiled and said, "As soon as we arrived, the steward had already prepared our accommodations and prepared food carefully. We have everything we need now."
Ji Yunshu was not surprised. Those who could be in charge these days were not ordinary people. Knowing that the master was coming, they could naturally arrange everything in the shortest time possible.
She was just worried that the servants would flatter the powerful and look down on the weak. She knew that Zhao Xuan was a girl from the third room and was not close to Zhao Shen, so she would not serve her wholeheartedly.
Seeing Zhao Xuan like this, she felt relieved.
"That's good. Madam Yao has returned home. Now that there are no elders to pressure you, you can relax a little and go out and play if you want. It's a rare opportunity to come out, so don't waste the good time."
Although Zhao Xuan is still young, time flies. She will be married in a few years and she may not be able to live such a free life in the future.
Zhao Xuan thanked her gratefully.
At this time, Zhao Fei came out from the backyard to see Ji Yunshu.
She was not as attentive as Zhao Xuan, so she didn't want to appear too attentive, so she waited outside.
I came here just after hearing the news that Ji Yunshu had returned.
Ji Yunshu didn't mind: "Second sister, there's no need to be so polite. We are a family, and I'm not an elder. There's no need to be so formal."
Seeing that she was not being polite to her, Zhao Fei lowered her head and agreed.
She didn't expect that this trip would be so unfortunate. Just a few days later, a fire burned down the place where they lived.
She could have gone with Yao when she left, but she had finally gotten out, so how could she be willing to go back like that?
She is one year older than Zhao Xuan and is already fourteen. Her marriage cannot be delayed for long, and there will never be another opportunity like this.
She knew in her heart that she could not rely on her father, mother, or concubine, so after hesitating for a moment, she decided to listen to Yao and stay.
