Yoshiko bit her lip, as if trying to organize her words, and thought for a moment before replying: "Lingsi actually took the initiative to tell you the process and results of interrogating that wizard?"
Xia Shang nodded: "You also find it strange, don't you? Although he took the initiative to tell me that there is no big problem, he can completely remain silent on this matter. After all, it is an internal matter of your Japanese country. If you tell me, the matter
If word got out, it would definitely have some bad influence on the Japanese country. But he still did it, which made me feel afraid that I would be suspicious, but his eager behavior only aroused more suspicion in me."
Yoshiko interrupted: "That's not what I was thinking about, but from the moment I left Japan, Lingsi was responsible for the entire team's itinerary. During the entire process, Lingsi did not disclose the details of this operation to anyone.
Including me and the prince, even if I took the initiative to ask, he said that for the sake of the safety of this trip, only he could know anything.
I didn't have any doubts at the time. After all, it was his father who put him in charge of this operation. He had the right not to tell anyone the details. But you said that he took the initiative to tell you about the interrogation process, which is obviously unreasonable. Either Lingsi deliberately deceived him.
, or he is eager to gain your trust."
"In this way, regardless of whether Lingsi is controlled or not, there is still a problem. My suspicion is not unnecessary."
Ji Zi frowned: "No, even if Lingsi is a little weird, he must have his own reasons. We don't know his purpose, maybe he just did it to find me."
"You believe him so much?"
"Of course! Lingsi has always been by my side, from childhood to adulthood. Even if I secretly came to Dahua, he has been protecting me secretly. Well, you take me to meet him. If you have any questions,
I’ll know if I ask him face to face.”
"Meet him?" Xia Shang smiled, "How could I let him see you before I figured out what Ling Si was doing? Actually, I still have a question in my mind."
"What question?"
"If I'm not mistaken, Lingsi's feelings for you are more than just a subordinate's loyalty to the lady. He likes you, and has been for a long time, right?"
Hearing this question, Yoshiko trembled slightly: "This..."
"Yoshiko, you should know better."
After thinking for a while, Yoshiko nodded slowly: "
Yes, he likes me, but he has always believed that his status is humble and has never been disrespectful at all. And I only feel like a family member to him, without any feelings between men and women. This point is zero.
He knew it in his heart, so he always protected me silently."
"A man suppresses his love to such an insignificance, not because he naively thinks that he is of low status, but because he likes you so much that he doesn't dare to approach you easily. I just don't understand, since Lingsi likes you in his heart
, but there was no emotional fluctuation in this marriage, and he acted as your guard so calmly, sending you to Dahua and into the hands of other men, how did he do it? "
"If this isn't how a man behaves, what do you think it should be?"
This seemed to be a natural question, but Xia Shang suddenly felt something unusual. He looked up and saw Ji Zi's burning eyes. Xia Shang understood in an instant. This was not a simple question, but also a question about himself.
feelings.
Xia Shang shouldn't have responded to this question, but when he thought about what he told Nami, he felt relieved and replied in a strange way: "Even if you are hi, when I heard the news that you were going to marry the prince, I naturally felt unhappy.
It feels good. Is this a normal reaction from a man?"
Yoshiko was stunned for a moment. The little hand that had been placed under the table was moved to the table and she leaned forward slightly: "Does my engagement make you sad?"
"Ji Zi, we seem to be talking about Ling Si now." Xia Shang's voice did not change, but his face felt a little warm.
Perhaps this was the first time Xia Shang showed such an expression in front of Jizi, which made Jizi very happy. He smiled and hid his joy in his heart: "Okay, let's talk about Lingsi first."
Regarding Ling Si, this person's behavior is a bit weird, but until now, it is not clear what purpose Ling Si has and what is the motivation that caused his weird behavior, so all inferences cannot be established.
The main purpose of Xia Shang's coming here was to confirm his suspicions. Judging from what Ji Zi said, the suspicions were confirmed, but he did not get any more information.
Then, Yoshiko didn’t know much about what the wizard said.
Xia Shang needs to investigate the follow-up matters by himself. If he continues to stay here, he can only fall in love with this woman.
"Forget it, let's stop talking about it today, I still have things to do."
"Xia, are you leaving now?" Yoshiko's voice was trembling, and her eyes were full of reluctance.
Xia Shang nodded.
"Then when can you come again?"
"This...it's hard to say. Anyway, you can't be known to anyone now no matter what."
"Okay, I won't cause you any trouble." Yoshiko's tone weakened, revealing a hint of disappointment.
Xia Shang didn't look much, turned around and opened the door.
Unexpectedly, when Xia Shang opened the door, he met Yu Ji who came.
The two people stood at the door, both stunned.
"Yu Ji? Why are you here?"
"I heard that your Excellency is here, so I came here to take a look."
Now that Yu Ji is here, Xia Shang doesn't have to leave immediately and follows her back to the room.
Yu Ji followed in, looked at Xia Shang and asked, "Are you leaving, sir?"
"I just want to ask you a few questions about things in the yard."
In fact, Xia Shang no longer wants to be involved in the affairs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but now he feels like a retired cadre who is no longer in his position. He says that he doesn't care about the past things, but he still thinks about them in his heart. The main thing is that Xia Shang compares
Worried that the strength that I have finally put together will fall apart again because of my absence.
Before Xia Shang started to ask, he saw Yu Ji's expression was a little strange. He was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a smile: "The yard is clean. Someone cleans it every day. There is nothing to worry about."
Xia Shang was also stunned. He didn't understand what Yu Ji was talking about for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "The courtyard I am talking about is not the courtyard you think..."
Xia Shang paused and felt something was wrong.
Yu Ji just thought she was talking about a courtyard in a general sense, but how could Yu Ji not understand the courtyard she was talking about?
In an instant, an ominous premonition emerged from the bottom of his heart, and Xia Shang's eyes immediately changed, staring at Yu Ji.
Yu Ji in front of her seemed to feel Xia Shang's change, and suddenly she pulled out a soft sword from behind and stabbed Xia Shang.
Xia Shang reacted earlier and was naturally on guard, but Yu Ji's sword was indeed the result of Yu Ji's own skill.
Before, Xia Shang suspected that someone was pretending to be Yu Ji, but Yu Ji instantly broke Xia Shang's suspicion.
