Zhao Huai raised his chin without a trace of fear.
"Kill me if you have the ability."
"Fine!"
Lang Po hated being goaded into action. He raised his sword and prepared to slash Zhao Huai's throat.
Suddenly …
Jing Rong shouted, "Stop!"
The sword didn't move an inch before it stopped.
Jing Rong stepped forward and gave Lang Po a look.
He ordered, "Stand down!"
"Your Highness, we can't indulge them anymore."
"After all, they saved Yunshu's life."
That's right!
If they hadn't sneaked into the Ministry of Justice's prison, Ji Yunshu wouldn't have been able to escape unscathed. She would probably be dead by now. Jing Rong would always remember this kindness.
Although Lang Po was unwilling, he obediently obeyed.
Stand down! Jing Rong walked in front of Zhao Huai and said, "If you want to know the truth, you can only wait. But if you want to take Wei Yi away, that's impossible. Not to mention leaving the capital, you might not even be able to leave this Prince's Rong estate. What's more, if you take Wei Yi away?
What? Are you going to bring an army of a hundred thousand to the capital? When the army is defeated, the little heir that you've been protecting will die along with you. Is it worth it? "
It's not worth it!
"His identity is very sensitive. Once it's known, it might cause trouble. Staying with us is the safest option." Jing Rong analyzed the pros and cons.
Zhao Huai's impulsiveness slowly subsided.
In the end, he was still rational.
"Fine, we'll wait!"
He had no choice but to obey.
After the farce ended, the two finally left.
The hall quieted down.
Ji Yunshu wrapped her clothes around herself and looked outside. The wind continued to blow, and the sky began to snow again.
She muttered, "Why can't we find him?"
"The world is so big. We will definitely find him." Jing Rong said. "I just don't understand. If he's still alive, why can't we find him? What if he's dead? Did he die before the fire? Or after the fire? " She continued to mutter, but immediately shook her head to deny it. "No, if he died before the fire, it's impossible that no one would know. If he died after the fire, where did he die? If he died in the capital, someone would definitely know. If he died outside, he would definitely find a way to leave the capital. How could he leave without leaving any clues? But now, it's as if he never existed.
He's just a chef. How could he have the ability to transcend the heavens? "
The more she thought, the heavier her head became.
Jing Rong noticed that Ji Yunshu's complexion wasn't right. Her forehead was sweating and her body was swaying slightly. He hurriedly placed the back of his hand on her forehead.
Ah!
It was too hot.
"Why didn't you say you were sick?" He was very nervous. He immediately grasped her cold hand and said in a commanding tone, "Listen, don't think about it anymore. Go rest first."
She twisted her body. "I didn't …"
Before she could finish her sentence, Jing Rong carried her into the room and gently placed her on the bed. He immediately ordered someone to call for a doctor.
Ji's of, her of the of of. Ji of of of of of.
His body felt even colder.
The doctor soon came over, prescribed the medicine, and boiled it.
She felt much better after drinking it.
"If you're not feeling well, you have to tell me. You can't hide it, understand?" Jing Rong frowned. He was really frightened just now.
She nodded as she nestled under the blanket, a smile on her face. Suddenly, she recalled something and said, "Wei Yi is still in Bamboo Creek Garden. I'm afraid I won't be able to return today. Send someone to inform him, but don't tell him that I'm sick. I don't want him to worry."
"Don't worry, I know what to do. Rest well."
"Yes."
He obediently rested.
Jing Rong stayed by her side until her fever subsided. Only then did he leave.
She slept all the way until the next morning.
Just as he opened his eyes —
"Are you awake?"
Mo Ruo?
Ji Yunshu sat up on the bed. "Why are you here?"
Mo Ruo fiddled with the medicine in his hands and complained, "Why do you think I'm here? It's all because Jing Rong was worried about you. He ordered people to bring me here before the sun even rose. He said that he would only let me leave after he was sure that you were fine. I've never seen such an overbearing person. "
Pfft!
Ji Yunshu smiled. "I'm fine now. My head isn't as dizzy as it was yesterday."
"What would happen if you were dizzy? I wouldn't be able to return." He brought the medicine over and stuffed it into her hands. "Drink every drop. It's very nourishing. I guarantee that you'll be jumping around in no time."
She obediently drank the medicine.
"By the way, where's Miss Tang?"
"She …"
"What's wrong?"
"She's playing with me!"
Just as he finished speaking —
A figure rushed in.
"Ah Ji."
Tang Si quickly rushed to the bedside, her face almost bumping into Ji Yunshu's. Her large eyes darted around as she asked with concern, "Ah Ji, are you alright?"
"How can you still be so rash after getting married?"
She fumed at the mention of marriage.
Hmm?
Ji Yunshu asked, "What's wrong with you?"
She glared at Mo Ruo and complained, "It's all because of him. I'm so angry."
"Did you quarrel?"
"It's worse than quarreling!" She fished out two rectangular boxes from her sleeves and opened them. Inside were two identical jade hairpins.
Only one was broken!
The other was perfectly fine!
So what?
Ji Yunshu was confused. She glanced at Mo Ruo, who shrugged helplessly and hid far away. Tang Si said, "Ah Ji, don't you feel angry? That day, I accidentally broke this hairpin and asked him to fix it. But he was too lazy to do it, so he asked his apprentice to buy an identical one. He said that it was fixed. Does he think I'm an idiot? Moreover, the hairpin he bought back was a fake!
He refused to admit it no matter what. He insisted on telling me that it was the same one. He only admitted it when I found this broken hairpin in his pharmacy. Otherwise, I would have been deceived. "
Pfft —
This was not something Mo Ruo would do.
Tang Si glared at him again. "Do you think that I wouldn't recognize it just because you found an identical hairpin and put it in the same box? You're underestimating this Grandaunt. "
What?
Ji Yunshu's expression changed. She asked her sternly, "What did you just say?"
"Ah?" Tang Si was stunned. She opened her mouth. "I said … you're underestimating this Grandaunt."
"Not this, but the previous sentence."
"The previous sentence? The previous sentence was … don't think that I wouldn't recognize it just because you found an identical hairpin and put it in the same box. Is it this one? "
Ah!
What a wake-up call!
Ji Yunshu finally understood. "I understand now!"
She finally understood why she couldn't find Zhao Hao even after sending out a wanted poster.
