Chapter 374 Is it too late to bow your head now?
As for Zhou Yunshu...
Zhou Yunshu staggered back, fearing that the fight between the two would affect her.
If her foot hadn't been twisted, all that would be visible now would be her back.
Ever since she understood the respective plans of Ji Mingzhu and Ji Sheng, Zhou Yunshu has been a bit upset.
Neither of them seemed to care much about her opinion, so Zhou Yunshu didn't need to care about them.
Now she just wanted to know where Chunque and Pingping had run off to.
Chusi was seriously injured and was no match for Ji Sheng, not to mention that the guards around Ji Sheng were no pushovers either.
When Zhou Yunshu had walked less than a hundred meters, Ji Sheng caught up with her on horseback.
Zhou Yunshu did not struggle when Ji Sheng grabbed her by the waist and carried her onto the horse. She gave up the struggle and decided to follow whoever won and pretend to be nice to him.
Ji Sheng rode a horse and took Zhou Yunshu back to the city. The city gate was open. Blood was coagulated at the entrance and soldiers were dragging corpses away.
Ji Sheng noticed Zhou Yunshu's gaze and said, "The people of Youzhou City have already hidden themselves at nightfall. As long as they don't come out to die, no innocent people will be harmed."
After Ji Sheng finished speaking, a captain ran up to his horse and reported to him, "Your Majesty, except for Liedong, all Tiele cavalrymen will be executed."
Ji Sheng nodded.
The captain asked again, "Do we want to chop off his head and hang it on the city wall for public display?"
Ji Sheng held Zhou Yunshu in his arms, held the reins, and said, "Hang it on the outer city wall."
"Yes, sir."
After the captain left, Ji Sheng and Zhou Yunshu returned to the Prince of Wei's palace unimpeded. During the journey, they did not see a single civilian except for the patrolling soldiers.
Zhou Yunshu hadn't touched the ground all the way. When they returned to the bedroom, Ji Sheng carried her to the bed and said, "I was planning to take you to the military camp tonight."
"But plans can never keep up with changes. You twisted your ankle, so you should rest in the palace. I'll have Wenxin come and examine your injury tomorrow."
While Ji Sheng was speaking, his hands were not idle. When he took off Zhou Yunshu's shoes, Zhou Yunshu's eyes were always on him.
"What are you thinking about?"
Zhou Yunshu looked at Ji Sheng, who treated her like Xixi, and said, "I'm wondering what you want."
Ji Sheng smiled and said, "Isn't it obvious?"
"I want you and the children to stay with me."
When the shoes and socks were taken off, Nanny Jiang came in with medicinal wine.
Zhou Yunshu said to Ji Sheng, who was rubbing medicinal wine on his ankle, "You can also come to me and the children."
Ji Sheng rubbed Zhou Yunshu's ankles and said, "It's different."
Zhou Yunshu smiled and said, "Yes, it's different."
Neither of them can let go of what they have now, so it becomes a deadlock.
"I told you before, I don't want to live like that anymore."
Ji Sheng's hands were big, and he easily held Zhou Yunshu's feet in his palms.
After hearing what Zhou Yunshu said, he said, "That kind of day won't last long."
Ji Sheng raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Yunshu, "He is dying."
They both knew who he was.
"So, you also want that position." Zhou Yunshu looked at Ji Sheng and said.
Ji Sheng held Zhou Yunshu's feet and sat on the bed, "Am I not worthy?"
He had heard too many times that he was unworthy since he could remember, but why was he unworthy?
Was it because his mother was of humble origin? Because he was born at the wrong time? Or were they just used to stepping on him?
"Nothing is unworthy."
After all, many people want to get that position, such as her grandmother.
So it is not surprising that Ji Sheng wanted to get it.
What's more, Ji Sheng was the most capable among all the princes, but because of his mother's background, few people placed their hopes on him.
"If I were to take that seat, you would be the queen."
Zhou Yunshu pulled her foot out of Ji Sheng's palm and said, "Not interested."
Compared with the Imperial Palace and the Prince of Wei's Mansion, it is just a change from a smaller square world to a slightly larger square world.
Ji Sheng looked at the indifferent Zhou Yunshu and smiled: "It's okay, you don't have to do it."
"I want to rest."
Zhou Yunshu lay down and pulled the quilt over her. She didn't like anyone to paint a rosy picture for her. She had already painted enough pictures herself.
"You can go out now."
Ji Sheng smiled and said, "Okay, take good care of your injuries during this time. When Xixi and the others come back, I'll take you to fly kites."
When they were in Dongchuan before, Xixi always wanted to fly a kite. Ji Sheng didn’t have the chance then, but now he has it.
No matter what Zhou Yunshu thought, the moment Ji Sheng made the decision, he never thought of letting Zhou Yunshu leave.
As for the Zhou family's innocence, he will restore it in the future.
His children cannot have an in-law with a stain on their family, but they can have an in-law who is loyal to the emperor and patriotic but lacks power or military authority.
Ji Sheng left to deal with the follow-up matters. After Ji Sheng left, Zhou Yunshu looked at her sprained ankle, sighed, hugged the quilt and fell asleep.
Now that things have come to this, let’s go to sleep.
…
Chunque ran away with Pingping in her arms and kept running without daring to stop.
I don’t know if that group of people were born in the year of the dog, but they kept chasing after him.
She even vaguely heard the group of people coaxing her, saying that the prince and the master sent them to take her and the young master back to the palace.
Ridiculous, does she look like she would believe it!
She doesn't believe anyone's words, she only believes what her master says to her in person.
The master told her personally to go to Cangzhou to find Hu Zi, so she would take the young master to Cangzhou and wait for the master to come and find them.
But the group of people followed too closely, and Chunque was able to temporarily get rid of them only after she fled into a city and disguised herself as a poor woman who sold herself with her child to bury her husband.
But now Chunque encountered another big problem, that is, her little master was hungry and crying with hunger.
Chunque knelt on the ground and softly coaxed Pingping in her arms, while the person lying straight on the straw mat behind her was lying straight.
"My dear, the child is hungry, don't you have any milk?"
Chunque looked at the old lady who came to remind him kindly with a dusty face, and said with a bitter face: "No."
"Oh, how pitiful! If you don't mind, why don't you come home with me? I'll make some rice soup for the child."
Hearing the rice soup, Chunque also swallowed her saliva, but she looked at the little master in her arms and asked tentatively: "Can he drink it?"
In the past, raising children was the job of the wet nurse. Chunque had no experience with this, and the master didn't tell her about it.
She was so afraid that the young master would starve to death before she did.
"Of course, as long as..."
"Move aside."
A carriage stopped in front of Chunque. When Chunque frowned and wondered who was so blind as to stop her from selling herself, the coachman took a piece of silver and threw it in front of Chunque.
"My dear, these ten taels of silver belong to my master..."
The driver hadn't finished speaking when the curtain behind him was suddenly opened. "Who the hell told you to throw it? Can't you just pass it to me properly?"
Chunque looked at the person coming out of the carriage holding a child and suddenly lowered her head.
The man couldn't help laughing as he watched Chunque's actions and said, "Miss Chunque, isn't it a bit late to bow your head now?"
