Chapter 578 Refusing to Leave
Zhang Heyao even thought that if Lu Qiniang was willing, he could stay in the northwest for her.
It's not impossible to find an official position in the northwest to accompany her.
Even if she came for Xiao Yan.
He can endure it.
Xiao Yan——
Thinking of this name, while feeling resentful, Zhang Heyao couldn't help but wonder whether he was really dead or just faking it.
Although Lu Qiniang said it lightly, in fact, she is a very sentimental person.
Isn't that an understatement?
Countless thoughts were swirling in Zhang Heyao's mind, making him feel exhausted.
Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore.
He couldn't indulge himself and have the idea of not returning to the capital.
Isn’t it just to reach the highest position and leave a name in history that we have worked so hard for all these years?
Zhang Heyao is very careful about his reputation in many aspects and disdains to be in cahoots with people like Xie Taifu, and it is also because of this idea.
He is a scholar and has his own persistence and character.
At this moment, he didn't know that in the capital city thousands of miles away, a storm was brewing silently.
Late at night, when everyone was asleep, a dark shadow quietly sneaked into Daya's room.
It’s Yunting.
His brows were furrowed, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, the dandy and childish look of the past had long since faded away, and what lay beneath was the resoluteness of decisiveness.
"Why haven't you left yet?" He frowned and said in a bad tone, "I sent someone to bring you a letter a few days ago, why haven't you left yet?"
Daya's face was as calm as water. She poured him a cup of tea and said, "I'm not planning to leave."
"If you don't leave, you want to stay and be a hostage? Go quickly! Otherwise I will have someone kidnap you and send you to Zhuo Zhuo." Yun Ting's voice suddenly became deep.
"Only if I stay can the emperor feel at ease." Daya already had her own plan.
If she left at this critical moment, no matter what reason she gave, others would suspect that she had something to do with the King of Yan who was about to start a rebellion.
In particular, the Princess of Yan often came to the school, and the two had a good personal relationship.
Once suspected, Jiang Xuan will be constrained in Qinzhou, Lu Qiniang will be in danger in the northwest, and Erya will also be implicated.
The capital city needs a chess piece to stabilize this shaky situation.
She is that chess piece.
Yun Ting wanted to persuade her again, but she said, "The princess left the capital three days ago. If we calculate the time, even if we gallop through the capital, we won't be able to catch up. So I plan to expose her tomorrow."
Yun Ting was stunned: "...What are you exposing her about? The Emperor didn't want them and their son to stay in the capital in the first place."
Isn’t that to paralyze King Yan?
"Yes, the Emperor doesn't want her to stay, but that doesn't mean he wants her to leave." Daya analyzed calmly, "If I go and expose her, the Emperor might not care and won't react so quickly. But when news of Prince Yan's rebellion arrives, he'll probably regret it and remember that I warned him before."
In this way, she can distance herself from the matter to the greatest extent possible.
Xiao Yan was "dead", but she stayed in the capital and helped expose the escape of Princess Yan. At least the emperor thought of her and Jiang Xuan and should not have many doubts.
Yun Ting was silent for a moment, weighing the pros and cons, and finally nodded: "That's not impossible, but the capital is treacherous and unpredictable. Remember, if you sense any danger, notify me immediately!"
"Okay. You don't have to distract yourself from taking care of me," Daya had already regarded Yun Ting as her own brother, "The most important thing now is you."
Yun Ting is in a dangerous situation. Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. The new emperor has a bad temper and is unpredictable. If you are not careful, you will be doomed.
Although he has become able to handle heavy tasks with ease over the years, Daya is well aware of the dangers involved.
"I'm fine, I know what's going on." Yun Ting showed a bitter smile, "Even for Zhuo Zhuo, I have to live well."
When he mentioned Erya, his eyes moved slightly, with a hint of barely perceptible anticipation and embarrassment, "Zhuozhuo...has he written to you recently?"
That heartless guy, I haven't written him a proper letter for half a year. Every time I write, I just scrawl a few words to let him know I'm safe.
"No." Daya shook her head. "Just a few days ago, she brought me five thousand taels of silver."
I think Erya is too busy.
He didn't even have time to ask about my well-being, he just transferred a huge sum of money directly.
Yun Ting thought about it and felt a little embarrassed, but he still asked, "Did she mention Song Yubai in the last letter she wrote to you?"
Yun Ting could not accompany Erya, but he sent people to Guangzhou Prefecture to protect Erya.
The news sent back said that Erya often went in and out with Song Yubai and had close contacts.
Although he also knew that Song Yubai had already married and had children.
But Erya is a woman after all, she is soft-hearted and sometimes cannot be so rational when it comes to emotional issues.
What if you get cheated?
"I didn't mention it." Daya said honestly.
She knew Yun Ting's thoughts and was grateful for Yun Ting's persistence for his sister for so many years, so she comforted him, "Don't worry, Zhuo Zhuo is now focused on making money and has no interest in sex."
What can Yun Ting say?
I can only continue to comfort myself in my heart and look forward to the day when we can meet again.
"Oh, I just found out," Yun Ting changed the subject again, "So Divine Doctor Hu didn't go to the northwest with you? Did he go with your father?"
Daya nodded.
"Do you still correspond with him?"
Daya shook her head. "My father hasn't written any letters since he faked his death, and neither has Uncle Hu."
He seemed to be determined to die completely.
This was Xiao Yan's determination. If he faked his death, he had to do it perfectly, leaving no clues that might expose him.
"If you can get in touch with me in the future, please let me know." Yun Ting said.
"Okay. But what difficult diseases are there? Who needs diagnosis and treatment?" Daya asked with concern.
"Nothing." Yun Ting touched the tip of his nose. "It's nothing serious. Chang Hui has been married for so long and still has no children. I asked for him."
Daya: “…”
Your abacus beads are about to fall on my face.
When it comes to guarding against love rivals, Yun Ting really puts all his energy into it and never gives up.
Even though Chang Hui is married, he is still his number one imaginary enemy in his heart.
Yun Ting whispered a few words with Daya about the follow-up arrangements, and then, just like when he came, he quietly disappeared into the night through the back door, and his figure was quickly swallowed up by the thick darkness.
