A Troublemaker
Madame Jiang's words were true.
If the Imperial Duke went to see Old General Li in Qingzhou that year, it was related to the Lin Capital case. Why didn't Old General Li mention it after fourteen years?
Why did he want Qin Shiyu to reverse the verdict?
But in any case, since it was brought up, Ji Yunshu had no choice but to meet Old General Li.
Thinking of this, Ji Yunshu sincerely said, "Thank you for telling me, Madame Jiang. However, this matter involves many people. I hope Madame Jiang won't mention it to anyone else."
"I understand. Teacher Ji can rest assured." Then, with a tinge of guilt, she added, "Teacher Ji, my younger brother is quite impatient. He has unintentionally offended you many times. I hope Teacher Ji won't take it to heart."
If she didn't mention it, Ji Yunshu would've forgotten about it.
She wasn't a narrow-minded person!
She knew what kind of person Li Zhao was at first glance. He was just a toothless tiger. If others roared at him, he would shrink back into his mother's womb.
Of course, these words were just insults in her heart.
Ji Yunshu smiled generously and said, "It's already in the past. There's no need to mention it again. I don't take it to heart."
Madame Jiang's heart finally relaxed.
Seeing that the gloomy sky was about to rain, Madame Jiang didn't stay any longer.
But before she left, she suddenly thought of something.
"Oh, that's right. When the Imperial Duke and my grandfather were talking in the room, I inadvertently overheard a few words. They seemed to be talking about mobilizing troops, but I don't know the specifics."
"Mobilizing troops?"
"I didn't listen very carefully, but it should be true."
Ji Yunshu nodded. "Thank you!"
Not long after Madame Jiang left, Ji Yunshu went to find Jing Rong.
In the past two days, Jing Rong had been recuperating from his injuries, but he still went back and forth from the palace. He heard that Qujiang's general had already entered the city. At this time, the war between the two countries was very tense. A meticulous person like Qi Zhen naturally wouldn't relax.
At this time, Jing Rong had just changed into his court clothes and was about to enter the palace. When he saw Ji Yunshu, he waved at Lang Po, indicating for him to leave.
Lang Po was very tactful.
He didn't want to disturb the two of them.
Ji Yunshu entered.
"What? It's been two days since you last saw me. Did you miss me? "Jing Rong raised his eyebrows and smiled mischievously.
Shameless!
She sighed inwardly and hurriedly got to the point. "I didn't want to disturb your Highness's business, but just now, Madame Jiang came looking for me."
"Oh? Are you here to thank me? "
"Not all of it. She told me something that happened fourteen years ago."
At the mention of what happened fourteen years ago, Jing Rong's heart tightened. With a perplexed tone, he asked, "Fourteen years ago? Could it be related to the Lin Capital Case? "
Ji Yunshu nodded.
"That's strange. Fourteen years ago, Madame Jiang wasn't in the capital. What could she say?"
"Although she wasn't in the capital, she said that the Imperial Duke had gone to Qingzhou to see Old General Li before the incident."
"Eh?"
"The Imperial Duke and Old General Li also discussed the deployment of troops."
"About the troops?"
Jing Rong's originally cold face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and he didn't make a sound.
Ji Yunshu looked at him and asked, "Your Highness, did you think of something?"
He turned his body and put his hands behind his back. He took a few steps forward and said in a gentle tone, "The Imperial Duke and Old General Li have a good relationship. It wouldn't be strange if the Imperial Duke left the capital to see him in Qingzhou. Moreover, Old General Li had a lot of troops under his command, so it's normal for them to discuss the deployment of troops."
"So, you mean that this matter has nothing to do with the Lin Capital Case?"
"That's not it. If what Madame Jiang said is true, then the incident happened the moment the Imperial Duke returned from Qingzhou. It would be too much of a coincidence."
Ji Yunshu didn't say anything and waited for him to continue.
Jing Rong thought for a moment and said, "Although the Lin Capital Case is urgent, it should be put aside for now."
"Put aside? Why? "
Jing Rong explained, "There's a rebellion at the border. Imperial Father has allowed the other side to enter the capital, so he will be very busy during this period. The matter of opening the coffins should be put aside for now."
He sighed as he said this.
No wonder Jing Rong was running around the palace.
Ji Yunshu also understood the importance of this matter.
To put it bluntly, in this negotiation between the two countries, if they could come to an agreement, war could be avoided. If they could not, then they would meet on the battlefield!
Ji Yunshu pursed her lips and said, "Since that's the case, I want to go to Qingzhou for a while."
"No!"
Rejected!
"Why?"
"Without this Prince by your side, you can't go anywhere. Even if you want to die, this Prince doesn't have the time to collect your corpse."
Get lost!
Ji Yunshu felt a ball of fire burning in her heart, almost bursting out.
When she was lucky enough to return to the modern world after a thousand years, she would definitely pry open this mouth and study it carefully.
It was just that she had a mild temperament, so naturally, she wouldn't get angry. She just turned her head away quietly.
Zhang Xuan said.
"Could it be that Your Highness wants to imprison me?"
Jing Rong frowned. "You know that's not what I meant. It's just that you're a troublemaker. Wherever you go, you always get into trouble. For your sake, this Prince has suffered all sorts of injuries, big and small. Just take it as pity on me and let me live for two more years."
How pitiful!
But —
"These two matters cannot be equated," Ji Yunshu retorted.
"What's the difference? If you go to Qingzhou, can this Prince stay in the capital with peace of mind? If something happens to you along the way, this Prince's heart will be cut into pieces. "
His tone was full of bitterness.
Ji Yunshu's ears turned red from his words. She immediately put on a serious expression and met Jing Rong's burning gaze. Then, she poured a bucket of cold water on him.
"The matter at the border is pressing. Although the 'Lin Capital Case' has been shelved, it cannot be delayed. I came to the capital for this case. I only hope to investigate it as soon as possible. Qingzhou is not far from the capital. When I see Old General Li and ask for the details, I will naturally return immediately. If you are worried that I will run away, you can make Wei Yi stay. I can't just abandon him and leave."
Using Wei Yi as a bargaining chip!
Unfortunately, Jing Rong didn't buy it.
"Unconditionally." Jing Rong's attitude was firm. "Even if this Prince arranges an expert to protect you, it won't be as reassuring as you staying by my side. In short, after the matter at the border is resolved, this Prince will personally bring you to Qingzhou. Moreover, Old General Li has an eccentric temperament. If you go alone, he may not want to see you. But with this Prince around, he won't dare to refuse."
'Your Highness is putting on airs!'
He didn't give Ji Yunshu a chance to refute.
At this time, an imperial guard came to report.
"Your Highness, people from the palace have arrived."
Jing Rong nodded.
The eunuch of the eunuch guard bowed his head and trotted forward.
He cupped his hands respectfully. "His Majesty has ordered Prince Rong to immediately enter the palace."
"What's the matter?"
"Replying to Prince Rong, His Majesty said that Qujiang General and the others have already entered the palace. He wants Prince Rong to immediately go and discuss some matters."
"They have already entered the palace?"
"Yes!"
The situation was urgent. Jing Rong didn't dare to delay.
He nodded. "I understand. This Prince will immediately enter the palace."
The eunuch didn't leave. Instead, his gaze fell on Ji Yunshu.
He respectfully cupped his hands and said, "Teacher Ji, Concubine Xiao has decreed that you should immediately enter the palace."
'What?'
Ji Yunshu was startled.
