Chapter 2053 No longer trust He Yi?

"He Yi, He Yi!"

“…”

"Crane Clothes!"

“…”

"Bull nose!"

Walking out of the imperial study, Ye Zheng hurried all the way and finally caught up with He Yi in a long corridor, but he kept walking forward and seemed not to hear him even when he called him.

Finally, after cursing angrily, he finally came back to his senses.

"Um?"

He Yi turned around and saw it was him. He immediately smiled and said, "It's you."

Ye Zheng stepped forward and snorted coldly, "If not me, then who is it?"

“…”

"Ask the former and harem, who else dares to call you that, besides me."

He Yi smiled and shook his head, without saying anything more to him. He just turned around and continued walking forward, saying, "You have something to talk to me about?"

Ye Zheng hurriedly caught up, but didn't speak immediately. Instead, he turned around and looked at him.

Although the expression on He Yi's face was as calm and indifferent as ever, and his lips still had his usual mysterious and nonchalant smile, Ye Zheng knew that things were not that simple.

He asked, "Just now, the emperor made such an arrangement, why did you refuse?"

"reject?"

He Yi laughed at him instead: "You mean, disobeying the will of the emperor?"

“…”

"Ye Zheng, when did you become so bold?"

“…”

"You know, you are the one who listens to the emperor the most. Why did you encourage me to disobey the emperor's will this time?"

"I--"

Ye Zheng wanted to say something, but hesitated. He looked at He Yi's half-smile and said through gritted teeth, "But I'm talking about normal times."

“…”

"Don't you want to this time?"

“…”

"With so many important things going on right now, why did the Emperor choose to assign you to oversee the reproduction of the Golden Jade Burial Suit?"

He Yi smiled and said, "The golden jade robe is no small matter."

“…”

"Didn't you just say this? This is the condition the Parthian envoy put forward to our country. If we can give them this golden jade burial robe, then in the future, when the emperor wants to retrace his steps on the Silk Road and re-establish ties with the countries of the Western Regions, he'll be able to use the Parthian influence. Isn't this important?"

Ye Zheng was anxious and said, "Of course this matter is important, but it is this matter that is important, not the golden jade burial suit!"

“…”

"Who can't go to supervise? Why do you have to go?"

“…”

"You, you are the Prime Minister of the Cabinet!"

He Yi glanced at him again.

Although Ye Zheng had experienced a lot in the past few years since Zhu Feng ascended the throne, and he was much more clear-headed about many things than before, but this matter——

He smiled and said, "Anyway, this is the emperor's arrangement."

“…”

"You and I, just follow orders."

He Yi turned to him and said, "By the way, the Emperor just said he has something else to tell you. What is it?"

"yes--"

Ye Zheng was about to speak, but He Yi raised his hand instead: "Forget it."

"Um?"

"Since the Emperor has instructed you alone, it's better not to tell me about this."

“…”

"Just do your best. Maybe one day, it will be your turn to be the Prime Minister."

As he said that, He Yi raised his hand and patted his shoulder again, then walked away with a smile.

Ye Zheng stood there, frowning, watching his back disappear into the night ahead.

And the scene before his eyes became even darker.

This time, what happened was indeed beyond his expectations, not only the emperor's arrangement, but also Heyi's attitude.

Could it be...

The emperor no longer trusts He Yi?

Why?
