Chapter 370 Obey Orders
When Zhou Jianying persuaded Dong Shu to come to the gate of Prince Wei's Mansion, someone had already gone in to report to Ji Sheng.
After hearing the news, Zhou Yunqi immediately rushed out of the palace.
When he saw Zhou Jianying safe and sound, all his previous speculations were overturned.
If it was really her grandmother who took her away, she would never have asked anyone to send Zhou Jianying back, let alone let the child in Zhou Jianying's belly survive.
"Are you okay?"
Zhou Jianying shook her head. She looked at the gate of Prince Wei's mansion and said, "Can I see him now?"
Zhou Yunqi looked at Zhou Jianying, sighed, nodded, and took her into the Prince Wei's Mansion.
As Zhou Jianying followed Zhou Yunqi through the corridor, she saw Zhou Yunshu standing under a tree with Ji Sheng at the end.
"Yunshu!" Zhou Jianying shouted in surprise when she saw Zhou Yunshu.
Zhou Yunshu walked forward with a smile, then hugged Zhou Jianying, who was walking quickly towards her, into her arms.
"Why are you in the North? Mother said..."
Zhou Yunshu looked at Zhou Jianying's slightly bulging belly and said, "Grandmother doesn't know about this."
Zhou Jianying subconsciously covered her belly with her hands when Zhou Yunshu looked at it.
Even she herself has been struggling with whether to keep the baby in her belly, and the other people in the Zhou family must want her to abort the child.
Zhou Yunshu did not ignore Zhou Jianying's subconscious action. She was also a mother and she understood Zhou Jianying's feelings very well.
but……
"Have you ever paid homage to your grandfather and his family?"
Zhou Jianying's hands, which were protecting her belly, dropped weakly. "Not yet."
"Let's go and pay our respects tomorrow."
Zhou Yunshu looked at Zhou Jianying. She thought she was very calm, but her voice couldn't stop trembling.
"Yun Qi and I opened the coffins of Dad and Yun Kun, and they..."
"Stop talking." Zhou Yunqi interrupted Zhou Yunshu.
He pulled Zhou Jianying's arm and pointed at her belly, "Do you dare to go with him?"
He only knew that Zhou Beifang was a foreign race, but he didn't know that he was the lost little prince of Tiele.
The Zhou family and the Tiele family were sworn enemies, and he would never allow Zhou Jianying to appear in front of his grandfather's tomb like this.
Tears gushed out of her eyes and Zhou Jianying knelt on the ground crying, unable to refute.
She really wanted to say that although Zhou Beifang was the little prince of Tiele, he had been abandoned in the northern border since he was a child. The war between Tiele and Da Zhou had nothing to do with him, nor had it anything to do with the child in her belly.
But she couldn't say it.
Zhou Yunshu squatted down and tried to help Zhou Jianying up, but she knelt on the ground and cried, "I know, I know everything."
She had been deceiving herself, thinking that as long as Zhou Beifang didn't return to Tiele, he would be just an ordinary foreigner living in the northern border.
As long as he doesn't return to Tiele.
But the appearance of Uncle Dong today told her that they would not let Zhou Beifang stay in the northern border just like that.
Before, Ji Sheng defeated Tiele and made it fall apart. Several princes fought each other separately. Dong Shu bet on Zhou Beifang and needed Zhou Beifang to go back and stabilize the situation.
Zhou Jianying leaned on Zhou Yunshu and looked at Ji Sheng, who had been standing beside Zhou Yunshu holding the child in silence, and said, "Uncle Dong was the confidant of the former Tiele leader. He brought 300 cavalrymen outside the city this time..."
Zhou Jianying had originally lied to Uncle Dong. She had never thought about letting Zhou Beifang leave, let alone following Zhou Beifang to Tiele.
It’s true that she wanted to save Zhou Beifang, but if rescuing him would boost Tiele’s power, then she would kill Zhou Beifang with her own hands.
Love is important, but not that important.
When Ji Sheng heard Zhou Jianying reveal the location of the three hundred cavalrymen, he said, "He doesn't completely trust you."
"I know." She looked at Ji Sheng, "You couldn't possibly not know about a cavalry unit like this sneaking into the northern border."
Those were three hundred cavalrymen, not three hundred ants, so when Uncle Dong said that, Zhou Jianying knew that with Ji Sheng's wisdom, he would probably have discovered these three hundred cavalrymen when they appeared in the northern border.
The reason why he allowed these 300 cavalrymen to come to the vicinity of Youzhou must be that he had other plans.
Ji Sheng did not answer Zhou Jianying, but gently shook Pingping in his arms.
The adult world has nothing to do with children. Pingping nestled in her father's arms, feeling completely safe and almost falling asleep.
"I can let Zhou Beifang be the bait to lure out the 300 cavalrymen brought by Uncle Dong. They won't turn a blind eye to Zhou Beifang's life or death."
Zhou Yunshu helped Zhou Jianying up and said, "Does he just listen to you?"
Even if there is a possibility of death?
Zhou Jianying looked back at Zhou Yunshu and said with absolute certainty, "He obeys my orders."
Zhou Yunqi doesn't have Zhou Jianying's confidence. "Once a man has tasted power, he won't let it go easily."
When Zhou Jianying wanted to refute again, Ji Sheng said, "Do you want to know what I asked in the Black Prison?"
Ji Sheng's interrogation methods can be said to be the most varied and cruel in the Great Zhou Dynasty. No one under his command would remain silent.
After Ji Sheng said this, Zhou Jianying guessed that Ji Sheng must have tortured Zhou Beifang.
but……
Zhou Jianying looked at Ji Sheng and said firmly, "He won't betray me."
Ji Sheng looked at Zhou Jianying and said to Zhou Yunqi, "Take her to see Zhou Beifang."
“Brother-in-law!”
"Go." Pingping in Ji Sheng's arms had fallen asleep.
He held Pingping in one hand and waved to Zhou Yunqi with the other, then said to Zhou Yunshu, "Let's go back. Pingping is asleep."
Zhou Yunshu still had many more questions to ask, but at this moment she had no choice but to nod.
She believed that Ji Sheng must have some arrangements for the future, but she just didn't know what they were.
After Zhou Yunshu patted Zhou Jianying's arm and left with Ji Sheng, Zhou Yunqi looked at Zhou Jianying beside him and said, "Sometimes I really doubt whether you are crazy or not."
When he thought Zhou Jianying was crazy, he saw Zhou Jianying's rationality again.
She said she was not crazy, but she was with Zhou Beifang and even had a child.
"She's just not completely crazy." Zhou Jianying smiled bitterly and said to Zhou Yunqi, "So, someone like me shouldn't hide behind Yunshu and reap the benefits."
Zhou Yunqi looked at Zhou Jianying, who understood everything, and moved his mouth slightly before closing it again.
She knows everything, but knowing and doing are two different things.
When Zhou Yunqi brought Zhou Jianying to the Black Prison with the token, Zhou Jianying thought she would see Zhou Beifang hanging on the wall with blood stained by his scapula.
But in fact, what she saw was Zhou Beifang, who was only wearing his underwear, with his skin not even a scratch on his face, sitting cross-legged in the cell with his eyes closed to rest.
When Zhou Beifang heard the familiar footsteps and opened his eyes to see Zhou Jianying standing close to him, he immediately stood up in surprise and rushed to the cell door.
"Aying! Aying!"
Compared with the excited Zhou Beifang, Zhou Jianying was much calmer.
"You're fine."
She is the one who has been having wild thoughts.
"Aying, I've told you everything. King Wei..."
Before Zhou Beifang's smile seeking praise faded, a group of men in black holding long swords rushed into the Black Prison.
"kill!"
