Is it a dream?
He Yanting doesn't think so.
But he wasn't going to waste his precious time arguing about it, so he just nodded.
Jiang Zhiyu asked again: "Did you arrange all the people above?"
“Some are my people, some are not.”
"The battle against Wala must not have been easy. Why did you come back so soon?"
[Shouldn't it last at least a year or two?]
He Yanting's eyes moved slightly, and he said vaguely: "I just used some extraordinary means."
Jiang Zhiyu didn't ask any more questions. The two of them chatted back and forth for a while before Jiang Zhiyu said, "When they were packing up just now, I guess they guessed you were awake."
He Yanting was not surprised by this. He knew that he could not hide it for long. In other words, even if others did not find out, he would still leave on his own initiative at night.
It was an accident and there was nothing that could be done before, so it was understandable. But if he was sober and still slept with someone, then he was deliberately ruining his reputation.
He Yanting naturally would not overstep the line.
Just as he was about to speak, the door was kicked open and the emperor and Chao Haisheng walked in one after another.
Chao Haisheng looked at He Yanting with cold eyes, and coldly spat out the three words "shameless". Then he drew his sword and said: "Today, I will take your life."
The secret guards on the roof had just put down their hands covering their ears when they heard these words. They immediately panicked and came down from the roof like dumplings, filed into the house, and stood guard beside He Yanting.
The room was suddenly crowded with people again.
Jiang Zhiyu: “…”
He Yanting hadn't reacted yet. He looked at Chao Haisheng's face and murmured, "Master?"
Secret guards: "!!!"
Master?!!!
Not only was Chao Haisheng unmoved, but his expression suddenly turned colder when he heard the word "Master".
He Yanting raised his hand, a firm gesture that would not tolerate defiance: "Everyone, get out."
The secret guards left even faster than they came, and disappeared in a few breaths.
The door was also closed.
Jiang Zhiyu: “…”
"I'll say it again, if you close the door you won't even be able to see who's eavesdropping on you!"
[Where does this bad habit come from? Why close the door? Isn't this clearly telling others that there is a secret here? Come and listen!]
emperor:"……"
He Yanting: “…”
That makes so much sense!
But now there are secret guards outside, so it doesn’t matter whether it is closed or open, so no one goes to open the door.
"You don't need to call me Master. The relationship between you and me as master and disciple has been severed long ago."
Chao Haisheng didn't retract his sword, and said in a cold and hard voice: "I've been to your house and met those people you locked up."
He paused, then continued, "Are they doing this for themselves, or for... Yuan?"
Knowing Chao Haisheng's temperament, He Yanting pursed his lips and said, "For their own benefit, they have been engaged in human trafficking. After I was discovered, they wanted to get rid of me, so they cooperated with the people in Mobei and bribed the people around me. However, they didn't expect that I was not dead, and secretly sent someone to feed me the Five Stones Powder."
"But they never expected that I didn't die even after being fed the Five Stones Powder. They were afraid of me, so they hid their identities and went into hiding in Yuhua Temple."
He said it lightly, but everyone present knew how powerful the Five Stones Powder was, and the emperor looked very surprised.
He originally thought that He Yanting couldn't bear the pain and ate it himself, but he never thought that he was forced to drink it?
"Who is it? Have you caught him?"
He Yanting nodded slightly: "He was a soldier who was blinded by greed. He is already dead."
The emperor's expression calmed down a bit.
Seeing Chao Haisheng still holding the sword, he said impatiently: "If you want to ask questions, then ask questions. Put away the sword quickly!"
Chao Haisheng remained unmoved and continued, "I don't care about what happened between you and them, but you are ultimately responsible for what happened to Yuan. Your injuries haven't healed yet, so I won't take advantage of you. But once you're healed, that's when I'll kill you!"
Logically speaking, the next step after making such harsh remarks should be to put away the sword and fly away, leaving them feeling uneasy.
But now the sword has been put away, but the person has not left.
Chao Haisheng stood beside the emperor with his arms folded, looking around but not at He Yanting.
emperor:"……"
He Yanting: “…”
Jiang Zhiyu: “…”
[There's a bug in this statement. What about when the injury heals? What if it never heals, or if it heals but you still say it's not healed, or if it heals but then gets a new injury?]
[Anyway, as long as there are injuries on the body, then this life will never be taken.]
He Yanting: “…”
emperor:"……"
I'm back, the familiar feeling is back!
I haven't heard the fish talk for a long time, and I miss it a lot.
"It's good that he's awake, it's good that he's awake," the emperor said with emotion. "Rest well these few days. If you need anything, just send someone to tell me."
After giving Jiang Zhiyu his instructions, the emperor turned to He Yanting and said with a changed expression, "Can you leave? Come back to the palace with me. I have something to ask you."
He Yanting: “…Yes.”
Knowing that the emperor would settle the score later, Court President He Yan sighed.
He followed the emperor and Chao Haisheng out. Jiang Zhiyu stood at the door and waved goodbye. When he turned around, he saw Jiang Kangan.
Jiang Zhiyu: “…”
…
Of course, the emperor would not let He Yanting walk to the palace. The carriage prepared by Fuping was waiting outside Xu's house, and the three of them got on the carriage.
The carriage was large enough for several people to lie flat on their backs without feeling crowded. Chao Haisheng even said as he lay down, "Why take a carriage? I can carry you back home one by one."
The churning feeling in his stomach came back, and the emperor said unhappily, "If you want to leave, just go. Why are you lying here?"
Chao Haisheng pretended not to hear and turned his back to him.
The three of them returned to the imperial study in silence. The emperor said coldly, "Do you know your mistake?"
He Yanting knelt down and said, "I know I was wrong."
"I asked you to fight the Oirat so that you could gain military merit and legitimately restore your position as Crown Prince! To silence those ministers, but what about you?"
The emperor angrily pulled the secret report from the table and threw it in front of He Yanting: "In order to return early, you actually signed an agreement with Heshuo and Junggar!"
"If those ministers knew about this, what would they do?"
He Yanting knelt straight, "I know I was wrong. For my own selfish desires, I made such a heavy promise." He hesitated, then continued, "But the position of Crown Prince is too heavy a responsibility for me to shoulder."
The emperor's chest was heaving with anger, but when he heard his words, his expression became even uglier: "What did you say?"
"You don't want to be the crown prince?"
Fu Ping was already frightened to the side, like a leaf blown by the wind in the courtyard. He still responded to He Yanting fearlessly, "Yes, I cannot be the crown prince."
The atmosphere in the palace was so tense that one could hear a pin drop. Compared to the first time he heard him say this in the Imperial Garden, the emperor's reaction was quite calm.
He didn't smash anything or hurt anyone, he just asked coldly: "Why?"
