Chapter 2284 Where have you been?
He glanced at him and smiled, "Unless you are sent, you don't have to worry so much."
“…”
Ye Zheng did not speak immediately, but sat there silently.
He Yi looked at his expression and said, "Why, do you really want to go?"
Ye Zheng pondered for a moment, then turned to look at He Yi. Meeting his inquiring gaze, He Yi smiled and said, "What are you looking at? Looking at me like that?"
Ye Zheng said: "He Yi, why do I feel you are so strange?"
"What's weird about me? Am I not the same as before?"
“…”
"You used to be very sensitive to this kind of thing."
“…”
"Anywhere there are signs of civil unrest, you will first send people to quell it and try to prevent any further trouble. But now, seeing that the mulberry farmers have already started to stir up trouble and are about to cause civil unrest, you don't care at all, thinking that just sending people to quell the unrest will be enough."
He Yi blinked.
Then he said, "This time is different from that time."
“…”
"Besides, the world is vast and there are always troubles. There are billions of people in this world, and there are billions of minds and thoughts. How can I see and manage them all with just one mind and one eye?"
“…”
"Besides, people's hearts are hard to unify. Even if some people have enough to eat and drink, they still have the tendency to cause trouble. Who can control them?"
“…”
"We just need to take care of the important things, as for the rest."
As he spoke, he glanced at Ye Zheng, smiled faintly and said, "Let it be."
"You, you are really different from before."
Ye Zheng looked at him for a while, and hesitated several times to speak. Finally, he sighed and said, "Forget it. If you don't tell me, I won't ask."
“…”
"When you want to talk about it, talk about it."
His words seemed a little puzzling, but He Yi just smiled faintly after hearing them.
The two talked for a while.
However, it seemed that neither of them was paying attention to the conversation.
Although Ye Zheng usually liked to find He Yi to make trouble, this time was a little different from the past.
As it was getting darker outside, He Yi said, "Do you want to stay for dinner?"
Ye Zheng also looked back.
He said, "Forget it. The food here is just vegetables and tofu. I can't get used to it."
He Yi smiled and said, "Tofu has virtue, so what's wrong with eating it?"
Ye Zheng snorted lightly: "I work so hard as an official just to eat meat."
After saying that, he stood up holding the armrest of the chair. He Yi smiled and shook his head. Seeing him turn around and walk out, he also stood up to see him off.
Along the way, Ye Zheng's pace became slower.
As he walked, he looked back at He Yi, as if he had something to say, but he never said it.
Although He Yi also saw what he was thinking, he did not ask any more questions and just accompanied him to the gate.
As soon as Ye Zheng stepped out of the gate, the gateman brought the horse to him. He took the reins and was about to climb on the horse when he suddenly stopped. He hesitated and looked back at He Yi who was standing on the steps. He bit his lower lip and finally said, "By the way, He Yi, I have something I want to ask you."
"What's up?"
"Where were you on the day when the Emperor held a memorial service for the late Emperor at the Grand Altar?"
"I?"
He was stunned when he heard his question.
Ye Zheng said, "You said that day that you were going to the Wen family to look for the third grandfather and grandson."
“…”
"But why weren't you there when I went to look for you?"
