In the present moment, the best course of action is to protect yourself and stay away from all of this.
As for the specifics of how to proceed, Ye Jintang looked at Ye He, as it would depend on Ye He's wishes.
Ye He was taken aback and remained silent for a while.
How could he not understand his daughter's good intentions, but...
"Tang'er, if I leave the capital, then you..."
Neither the title of general nor any fame or fortune mattered to Ye He as much as Ye Jintang.
"Does Father want his daughter to leave with you?"
Ye Jintang understood and asked Ye He a question.
Ye He nodded, which was taken as tacit agreement with Ye Jintang's words.
"Tang'er, you shouldn't be carrying this burden..."
Ye He's tone was full of remorse. He regretted his poor judgment in marrying Ye Jintang to Jiang Mubai.
The more Ye He learned about Ye Jintang's experiences, the more distressed he felt.
His Tang'er should have been carefree. But now, being able to stand on her own makes her even more heartbreaking.
Ye Jintang sighed softly. How could she not understand what Ye He meant? But if she could leave, she wouldn't stay here, let alone come to this world, even if it's just a book.
She had also developed an invisible bond with these people.
This isn't something you can just leave on a whim.
"Father, your daughter wants to stay in the capital; I cannot leave."
“I know you are worried about my safety, but as you can see, your daughter is now capable of protecting herself, so father doesn’t need to worry about her.”
"Regarding the matter of retiring to one's hometown, I still hope that my father can give it serious consideration."
Ye Jintang said that in her opinion, as long as Ye He was still the general, he would face even more dangers.
She could sense that the black mist was just the beginning.
"And what is your relationship with that Regent?"
Ye He had wanted to ask about this for a long time, but he had never found the opportunity.
A person's eyes don't lie, especially someone of Ye Ling's status.
There's no need to pretend in front of Yip Kam Tong.
Ye Jintang was taken aback, her face showing hesitation. Wasn't she just talking to Ye He about retiring to her hometown?
Why did you suddenly ask her about her relationship with Ye Ling?
As for the nature of her relationship with that prince... Ye Jintang lowered her eyes, her thoughts complicated.
She raised her head again and asked Ye Jintang, "Father wants to know?"
Ye He nodded, responding softly.
"cooperate."
Ye Jintang's answer was clearly unexpected by Ye He. He looked at Ye Jintang in confusion and repeated what she had just said.
"Tang'er, do you mean you're cooperating with this prince?"
"What exactly happened?" Ye He became even more confused. Now it seemed that something else had happened during the time he was "away".
Ye Jintang did not hide anything from these matters and told them about his cooperation with Ye Ling.
However, they concealed the fact that Ye Ling had been poisoned by the Soul-Devouring Powder, summarizing it simply as "treatment."
Upon hearing what Ye Jintang said, Ye He understood what had happened.
"Tang'er, I feel that this prince's feelings for you go beyond mere cooperation. Now, shouldn't you reconsider..."
Ye Jintang smiled.
“Father, one experience at the Marquis’s mansion is enough. People’s hearts are unpredictable. Back then, Jiang Mubai was still very respectful to you, even more so than before.”
"Moreover, the deeper one's contact with the royal family, the easier it is to get caught up in the vortex."
Ye Jintang murmured, even though she was already quite involved, why make promises about the future if she couldn't provide them?
A short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one.
Ye He sighed softly, but he couldn't refute it.
"Tang'er, whatever you choose, I will respect your choice."
"I've heard that you've opened a clinic. Would you allow me to take a look?"
"certainly."
Seeing that Ye He finally stopped mentioning anything related to Ye Ling, Ye Jintang breathed a sigh of relief.
If they kept asking, I really couldn't keep up.
"Does Father want to go there now?"
"good."
“But your health…” Ye Jintang had concerns about this.
"I'm fine. Besides, Tang'er knows medicine, so she should know this better than I do."
Ye Jintang nodded. That was true, but she felt that something was wrong, as if she had overlooked something.
After talking with Ye He, Ye Jintang went outside, only to find Ye Ling still standing there.
"How is General Ye?"
Seeing Ye Jintang come out, Ye Ling walked up to her and asked her questions.
"He's fine, he just lost his martial arts skills."
"if……"
Looking at the woman in front of him, Ye Ling seemed to guess what she wanted to say.
"Do you want General Ye to leave the capital?"
Ye Jintang was momentarily taken aback upon hearing Ye Ling's question.
He could even guess what he was thinking.
"I can mediate this matter, but what about you?"
Ye Ling stared intently at her, as if waiting for some kind of answer.
"Me?" Ye Jintang asked, puzzled. But after meeting Ye Ling's gaze, she suddenly seemed to understand something and laughed abruptly, "You want to ask if I will leave with my father if he leaves the capital, right?"
"What if I said yes?" Ye Jintang curled her lips, suddenly having a different idea.
"What then, Your Highness?"
"I will leave with you."
Ye Ling answered almost without thinking, showing no hesitation in the face of Ye Jintang's question.
"Leave with...me?"
Ye Jintang was stunned, clearly taken aback by these words.
"Your Highness, your identity..."
"This is no joke."
Unexpectedly, Ye Ling was unusually serious and said to Ye Jintang word by word, "I never talk about anything concerning you."
"I will not leave."
Ye Jintang said that too many strange things have happened in the capital recently, including Ye Yu, who is also a transmigrator, the evil aura, the appearance of the Imperial Advisor, and even that so-called Great Demon King.
Everything suggests that what follows will be anything but simple.
She also had her own selfish reasons for letting Ye He leave.
"Don't forget that we have a partnership, Your Highness. I will definitely heal you."
Ye Jintang said to Ye Ling.
She has always remembered what happened back then, and this is definitely not just talk.
Moreover, Ye He's matter has come to an end to some extent; she has already changed the original ending of Ye He's book.
As for Jiang Mubai and Su Xuerou, although they still possess some luck, they are no longer capable of causing any trouble.
Unless those malevolent energies reappear—of course, if that happens, everything will be different.
Keeping them around might lure out even bigger "fish"!
The next most important thing to do is to remove the Soul-Devouring Powder from Ye Ling's body, so that he can be completely freed from this "curse".
For some reason, she had a vague feeling that the Soul-Devouring Powder that Ye Ling had been given came from the palace.
Perhaps the Imperial Advisor knows about this. Thinking of this, Ye Jintang asked, "Your Highness, does the Imperial Advisor know that you have been poisoned by the Soul-Devouring Powder?"
