Chapter 151 Ji Sheng
"Ji Sheng!" Zhou Yunshu exclaimed in a low voice, "Is it really him?!"
Didn't he disappear in the North? How did he suddenly end up in the river?
"It's him."
Ji Mingzhu confirmed, "Although he has changed his appearance, the person following him is Jiang Jian, the head of the Black Prison Division."
"You don't know normal. There are six chief officers in the Black Prison Division. All of them were promoted by Ji Sheng and only take orders from Ji Sheng."
Therefore, there is no other choice but King Ji Sheng of Wei who can make the head of the Black Prison willingly follow behind him like a little follower.
Zhou Yunshu took the cup beside her and took a sip of water. She was indeed not very clear about the official business and subordinates outside Ji Sheng's mansion, not to mention the head of the Black Prison Division.
"Are you afraid of him?" Ji Mingzhu was a little curious.
Zhou Yunshu shook her head, "It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that I think it's troublesome."
She looked at Ji Mingzhu and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, he has already known that I'm pregnant and asked to leave. I'm afraid he will find me and want to take me back."
It's not that she is being sentimental, it's just that Ji Sheng is just that kind of person.
"If my current power could rival Ji Sheng's, then it wouldn't be a big deal, but..."
Her current power is obviously not on the same level as Ji Sheng's.
"Don't be afraid, I still have grandma."
Ji Mingzhu held Zhou Yunshu's hand and said, "With grandma here, no one can take you away against your will."
She looked at Zhou Yunshu and said again, "Do you know that after you asked to leave, Ji Sheng never remarried."
The reason why Ji Mingzhu told Zhou Yunshu the news first was because she was afraid that she would become soft-hearted after hearing it from somewhere else.
Women are always soft-hearted.
"You didn't remarry?"
Ji Mingzhu nodded.
"Hasn't Concubine Li always wanted to marry her niece to Ji Sheng?"
Ji Mingzhu snorted after hearing this and said sarcastically, "A woman who was born a dancer, even if she brings her family to change her appearance, what good daughter can she raise?"
She looked at Zhou Yunshu and said, "Shu'er, you should know that Ji Sheng was ridiculed and looked down upon by the other princes a few years ago because of his mother's background, right?"
Zhou Yunshu nodded.
"How could a prince who was looked down upon because of his mother's background possibly marry such a woman as his principal wife? He might not even give her a concubine."
Zhou Yunshu looked at the two people who were expressing their feelings to each other in the audience, and thought of Cheng Jiajia's identity as a concubine in her previous life.
She was carried in through the small door of the palace. Although she was a concubine and Ji Sheng's cousin, according to what Chunque had heard, Ji Sheng had never touched her or entered her yard from beginning to end, not to mention that Ji Sheng had never returned after he went to the northern border.
If Concubine Li had not sent people to the palace from time to time to support Cheng Jiajia, she would not have been able to cause any trouble in the palace.
Now that I think about it, Cheng Jiajia went crazy at herself at that time probably because of the cold treatment she received from Ji Sheng and the support from Concubine Li.
Ji Sheng has never been a person who would pay attention to the backyard. As long as there is no fire in the backyard, he will not interfere.
"Shu'er, Ji Sheng has never had a concubine in all these years since you got married, right?"
Zhou Yunshu nodded. Because of this, she was envied by other ladies in the capital.
"Because when he asked for your hand in marriage, he promised me and your grandfather that as long as you could give birth to a son within ten years, he would not have any wives or concubines."
Zhou Yunshu raised her eyes upon hearing this, then lowered them again. She thought of Cheng Jiajia who was carried into the Zhenbei Palace after it collapsed in her previous life.
Ji Mingzhu continued, "This is the most important condition for him to marry you. Originally, he was not among your potential husbands."
Even though Ji Sheng is a prince, Zhou Yunshu's grandmother is the eldest princess of Ningping and her grandfather is the King of Zhenbei. No matter who she marries, it is not considered marrying high, and she can marry anyone she wants.
But only Ji Sheng dared to make this promise to Ji Mingzhu and Zhou Cungao. Although Ji Sheng was definitely not a good son-in-law in the eyes of outsiders, he was well regarded in the eyes of Ji Mingzhu and Zhou Cungao.
At that time, Ji Sheng had already begun to take charge of the Black Prison Department. People who were in charge of the Black Prison Department had basically no chance of becoming emperor because they had too much evil spirit of killing.
But being a fierce prince is also a good choice for Zhou Yunshu. Not to mention, his backyard is clean and quiet, which is better than most people.
As long as he can become Zhou Yunshu's support and fulfill his promise, Ji Sheng, as the son-in-law of the Zhenbei Palace, the Zhenbei Palace will certainly be willing to give him some resources and stand on the same side with him when necessary.
This time, when the Zhenbei Palace fell, if Cai Chuan in the northern border had not gotten into trouble and a general was needed to resist the foreign enemies, Ji Sheng might have had to sit on the bench for an unknown amount of time.
Of course he doesn't have to sit, as long as he divorces Zhou Yunshu.
But Ji Mingzhu knew that Ji Sheng would not do that.
Ji Sheng’s reputation outside is indeed not good, but he does a good job in doing what he says and keeping his promises.
So when she heard that Zhou Yunshu came to the Zhenbei Palace from the Prince of Wei's Palace, she just thought that Zhou Yunshu came to visit because she was worried about her child. But she didn't know that she had asked to leave the palace and returned home with the child.
After knowing that Zhou Yunshu left with the child, Ji Mingzhu understood that even if Ji Sheng let Zhou Yunshu leave, he would definitely keep someone by Zhou Yunshu's side.
This guess was verified by what Zhou Yunshu said to her later.
At that time, Ji Sheng agreed to let Zhou Yunshu take the child away because he probably knew that he would be leaving the capital soon. Since Zhou Yunshu wanted to leave, he let her leave this place of trouble.
After all, if Ji Sheng really went to the northern border, the affairs in the capital would be out of his reach. This was probably the reason why he was worried about letting her go.
But what he didn't expect was that in his eyes, his wife and daughter were only away for a short time; but in Zhou Yunshu's eyes, leaving was leaving, and divorce was divorce, and no one would bother with him.
When Ji Mingzhu thought of this, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised.
She really wanted to see Ji Sheng being humiliated in front of her granddaughter. It was really exciting.
"So what if he said it on his own initiative? So what if he hasn't married yet? People change."
Zhou Yunshu took a deep breath, straightened her attitude, and said to Ji Mingzhu, "A divorce is a divorce. I will not go back to the capital with him to be his princess, and I don't believe he will keep the position of principal concubine vacant for me."
She just didn't expect that Ji Sheng had a deep conversation with her grandmother and grandfather in order to marry her, and she never thought that she was the one he had gone to so much trouble to marry.
In the past, Zhou Yunshu believed that women always had to get married, so she didn’t feel much about her own marriage.
Anyway, no matter who she marries, she has the Zhenbei Palace and her grandmother, the eldest princess, behind her. No one would dare to treat her harshly, and she is also good at living a good life.
Knowing that her future husband would be the King of Wei, Zhou Yunshu felt that although the King of Wei's reputation was a bit scary, since the elders agreed, there must be something good about him.
Because she knew that her grandparents would not harm her, and even if they wanted to marry someone, they could not marry just anyone.
What Zhou Yunshu never said was that she was actually very satisfied with Ji Sheng's appearance. To be honest, it was really difficult to find a man in the entire capital who was more handsome than Ji Sheng.
