"Perhaps this will be an opportunity for me to leave."
"real?"
Ye Yu became excited immediately; he had wanted to leave this place for a long time.
If I could take this opportunity to leave, that would be the best thing ever.
"But I'm curious, since you know all this, why didn't you go directly to the Imperial Advisor, but instead came to me?"
Knowing that Ye Yu is the author of this book, he should be even more aware of the other party's abilities.
But strangely enough, Ye Yu came to find him as soon as he returned to the capital.
“What’s so strange about that? We come from the same place. Besides, didn’t I say before that the Grand Preceptor’s temperament is unpredictable, and he’s neither entirely righteous nor entirely evil?”
"If I tell him these things, even if he believes me, what if he arrests me?"
"Compared to you, I still trust you more."
Ye Yu did not hide anything from Ye Jintang in this matter, and simply told him all the reasons for doing so.
After Ye Yu finished speaking, he saw that Ye Jintang remained silent and felt a little uneasy.
"Ye Jintang, you don't think I have ulterior motives, do you?"
No, not at all.
"I will be wary of matters concerning the Imperial Advisor; as for the rest, you'd better pray for good fortune."
"good……"
Ye Yu had just finished replying when he felt something was off. He felt that Ye Jintang's words had a hidden meaning, so he immediately pressed Ye Jintang for an answer, "Ye Jintang, what did you mean by 'good luck to yourself' just now?"
"You're not planning to just stand by and watch someone die, are you?"
"We're from the same hometown, after all..."
"Stop."
Ye Jintang stopped Ye Yu from continuing.
"If you really encounter any problems, you can come to me, but I have to say this beforehand."
Ye Jintang paused, then reminded Ye Yu.
"Since you've come to me, my condition for helping you is that you can't hide anything from me in other matters."
"If I find out you actually did that, then I'm sorry."
"I would have been even more ruthless then."
"Ye Yu, can you understand what I mean?"
Ye Jintang asked the person next to him.
"Don't worry about that," Ye Yu said quickly, patting his chest as he assured her.
Even if he was being unreasonable, he wouldn't go so far as to betray others.
Nothing is more important than going back; life here is full of danger every day.
"And that other regent...did you treat him?"
Ye Yu was about to leave, but as he approached the door, he suddenly remembered something and asked Ye Jintang a question.
Hearing Ye Yu say this, Ye Jintang remembered that she had wanted to know something about what happened before Ye Ling was poisoned by the Soul-Devouring Powder.
Although she didn't directly ask Ye Ling about some things, it didn't mean she wasn't puzzled.
Since Ye Yu is the author of the book, he must know something.
When Ye Yu asked this question, she nodded in response.
"You guessed right, I did indeed treat the Regent's illness. Do you think there's a problem?"
"So, you've already found a way to undo the Soul-Devouring Powder?"
Hearing Ye Jintang say this, Ye Yu was even more surprised.
"I shouldn't be asking you that question."
Ye Jintang did not answer Ye Yu's question directly, but instead asked him a question in return.
"Did you add the setting that Ye Ling is cursed and won't live long?"
"this……"
Ye Ling felt a little embarrassed when Ye Jintang asked her that question.
"Tell the truth." Ye Jintang gave Ye Yu no chance to try to fool her.
"Fifth Prince, don't forget my reminder just now. It's better to clarify some things."
"Well, the main thing is that Ye Ling, as the regent, is already second only to the emperor, and the emperor, who is also my father, cares a lot about his half-brother, the regent."
"If I didn't set this up, the subsequent plot wouldn't be able to develop."
"Unable to develop..."
As if he had thought of something, Ye Jintang continued to ask Ye Yu questions.
"Then who is the curse on Ye Ling and the Soul-Devouring Powder related to?"
"This..." Ye Yu paused, then, after meeting Ye Jintang's gaze, continued, "Empress Dowager, it's not just that, it's also related to that Imperial Preceptor."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have told you that the Imperial Advisor was a morally ambiguous figure."
"Ye Jintang, since you have treated Ye Ling before, you should understand that the curse on Ye Ling is also related to the black energy."
"Unless the Great Demon King is completely eliminated, it may not be so easy to break the curse on Ye Ling."
After hearing Ye Yu say this, Ye Jintang finally understood.
The poison that Ye Ling was poisoned with was related to the palace and even the Empress Dowager, while the curse she carried was closely related to the black energy and even the Imperial Advisor.
This is why Ye Yu always emphasizes that the Imperial Preceptor is both righteous and evil.
If these things are combined, could she conclude that the curse afflicting Ye Ling is also related to the Imperial Preceptor?
Even the appearance of those black wisps is the same.
Ye Yu nodded in response to Ye Jintang's question, "You can think that way, but as you know, although I am the author of this book, some of the plot settings were actually imperfect from the very beginning."
Most of his storylines revolve around events within the Marquis's mansion, and are even related to Jiang Mubai.
But the current result is clearly different.
As for these missing plot details, based on his conjecture about everything that has happened over such a long period of time.
As the plot changes, so do the events that follow.
These things were beyond his control; in fact, he himself was part of it all.
"In other words, this is all you know right now."
Ye Yu nodded, and when he saw Ye Jintang looking in his direction, he quickly explained, "This time I've said everything I needed to say, and I haven't hidden anything."
"Ye Jintang, you don't still not believe me, do you?"
No, not at all.
"I understand everything you just said."
"Then now..." Ye Yu suddenly felt a sense of anticipation. He could tell that the woman in front of him was definitely not simple, and even the original settings in the book could be broken.
Not to mention those outside the book, they must be top-tier figures.
If you can get their protection, then putting everything else aside, there will be absolutely no problem with your safety.
After that point, he answered almost everything Ye Jintang asked him.
"Ye Jintang, we are allies and fellow townsmen, right?"
At this point, Ye Yu couldn't help but feel a little nervous, waiting for Ye Jintang's reply.
"Your use of the word 'fellow townsman' is quite unique, but given the current situation, we can call you an ally."
Seeing that Ye Jintang finally agreed, Ye Yu breathed a sigh of relief, as if a huge boulder hanging in his heart had been lifted.
"That's wonderful! Hearing you say that puts my mind at ease. I thought you might refuse..."
