Yun Qing never really fought Xie Rang, but just as she had said to Li Yun Shu and Qing Lan before, if she really wanted to leave, Xie Rang couldn't stop her.
What the system said today was a huge shock to her. Even with Yun Qing's usually calm and peaceful personality, she found it hard to accept.
The best solution is to separate for a period of time.
She had made a mistake earlier; staying would only encourage her to indulge and yield to others, which was a long-standing habit. Only by separating could she see her own heart more clearly.
We'll decide what to do then.
"Do you really have to go?"
After a long silence, Xie Rang finally asked in a low voice.
"Yes, I have something important to do."
Yun Qing's words were vague; she wasn't going to make the matter too clear. A cryptic smile played on her lips as she asked, "Your Majesty, you don't want me to leave, do you?"
Upon learning that Xie Rang already knew about her disguise as a man, Yun Qing felt annoyed, but mostly relieved.
Even if it was by a twist of fate, it wasn't exactly keeping it from him.
Having seen Yun Qing's gentle demeanor for so long, Xie Rang was captivated by her rare display of sharpness. He shook his head with difficulty, "No."
Admittedly, he did have some dark thoughts at the beginning, but he quickly realized that if he really did that, he would only push Yun Qing further away.
Yun Qing was calm and rational enough to consider her feelings carefully. Xie Rang knew that she thought he was a bit naive. Perhaps she only treated his feelings as a momentary passion. But how could he be willing to stay in this position forever?
He wanted to truly win her over and become the one she loved.
Yun Qing chuckled: "His Majesty seems to have agreed rather reluctantly."
"I'm just worried about the Grand Tutor."
Yun Qing's true feelings were somewhat revealed. Xie Rang was no longer as agitated as before. He whispered, "If something happens to the Grand Tutor, I will be very sad."
Perhaps it wasn't just that; Xie Rang knew Yun Qing didn't like him saying discouraging things, so he didn't say it.
"You make it sound so serious." Yun Qing raised an eyebrow. "If Your Majesty trusts me, then let me go."
Yun Qing is also a human being. She needs some time to accept that Xie Rang has listened to her innermost thoughts for so many years. After all, it is quite terrifying for someone else to hear your innermost thoughts.
Thankfully, it was only Xie Rang, otherwise...
Um?
Yun Qing belatedly realized what was happening.
The system only hides the bulk of the historical information; what about what she said about modern times? Did Xie Rang hear everything?
If that's the case, then Xie Rang's inexplicable mention of his relatives a few days ago can also be explained. He probably knew from the beginning that she wasn't from here, nor was she his original tutor, Li Yunqing, which is why he was so bold as to betray his teacher, right?
Before he could even answer the previous question, Xie Rang saw Yun Qing's gaze grow increasingly cold, and a chill ran down his spine as he felt as if he had been seen through from head to toe.
He pursed his lips: "If the Grand Tutor insists on going, I won't stop him. But you must take good care of yourself and come back safely."
In a daze, Xie Rang remembered that Yun Qing never did anything without certainty, just like the year she went out. Perhaps this was some kind of omen, indicating that something was changing silently. Of course, he could choose to stop her, but the final result might not be what he wanted to see.
Yun Qing is free. If he is trapped here because of what he said, it would go against his original intention.
“That’s inevitable.” Yun Qing gave him a deep look. “I’ll set off immediately. Your Majesty should think carefully about how you’re going to tell me the truth when you return.”
Think about it carefully.
The people are of paramount importance.
Xie Rang's anticipated birthday was destined to be ruined, as were the explanations he had prepared. Now that they were separated, it was just as well, giving him more time to think, and also giving Yun Qing more time to think.
"I……"
Xie Rang didn't dare to look away. He had a gut feeling that Yun Qing wanted to tell him more than just this, but he had no more specific hints at the moment.
"Alright, let's not delay any longer, I won't chat with Your Majesty any longer."
Yun Qing stood up and walked outside.
Xie Rang quickly followed.
"If the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review insists on going, he can come later."
Yun Qing had been thinking for a moment. She was really afraid that something unexpected might happen. If Gu Yun wanted to go, then he should go. After all, Gu Xingzhi was over there, and he only had one child. She might not feel at ease if she didn't see him.
"Mr. Yu and I will go first. Your Majesty should also select a suitable imperial physician as soon as possible and allocate medicines to the affected areas. If there are any unexpected events, I will send a message or have someone notify you. The most important thing right now is to stabilize the situation there."
Diseases are something that cause panic. Even if they can be temporarily contained, people will eventually panic and try to escape. If they do manage to carry the disease out, it could potentially harm more areas.
"good."
Xie Rang listened to everything Yun Qing said without missing a single word. At this moment, she had become the one issuing the orders. The situation was urgent, and no one realized it.
This matter came too suddenly, and even if we were to go into battle lightly, we still had to be prepared. Mr. Yu was invited over immediately, and after hearing about the situation, he calmly instructed the young apprentice beside him to prepare medicinal herbs and make some masks made of gauze before reluctantly nodding in agreement.
"We'll only know the specifics when we get there... Are you sure you want to come along, young master?"
Mr. Yu disagreed with this idea. He had gone to great lengths to pull Yun Qing back from the brink of death, not to watch her take risks now.
He glanced at Xie Rang, wondering if the young emperor had any objection whatsoever.
"Confirmed." Yun Qing smiled. "Mr. Yu doesn't need to look at His Majesty anymore; His Majesty has agreed."
It's unclear how long this journey will take. If all goes well, it will take two or three months, excluding the time it takes for the flowers to bloom on the way. Whether it will be able to make it in time for the anniversary of Xie Rang's mother's death is uncertain.
I can't go back on my promise, so I'll try my best to get back before the anniversary of his mother's death.
By then, they'll definitely have figured it out.
Xie Rang was surprised that Yun Qing had thought of him. His eyes trembled violently, and he wanted to say that it wasn't like that, that he cared more about Yun Qing.
The dead cannot be brought back; those who are alive are the most important.
There are countless anniversaries of his mother's death, but what he wishes for most is for Yun Qing to be safe and sound.
But he had no right to say it.
Yunqing quickly arranged everything. There were many things readily available at the residence, and Diancui ran to pack some changes of clothes for her and stuffed them all into the carriage.
Seeing His Majesty the Emperor still standing there in a daze, Yun Qing felt a complex mix of emotions. Before leaving, she stepped forward, patted his shoulder, and looked up at him, saying, "What are you still standing there for? Your Majesty, you should prepare for my future."
[And think about it, how much did they fool me?]
