Ye Jintang's feelings became particularly complicated at that moment.
She lowered her eyes, her lips slightly parted, and said to Ye Ling, "Your Highness, you really don't need to do this."
"Didn't Miss Ye say before that we have a cooperative relationship?"
Ye Ling leaned forward slightly and approached Ye Jintang.
"Everything I am doing right now is of my own free will."
Ye Jintang's eyes met Ye Ling's dark gaze, and her heart raced as she looked at his face so close to hers.
She admitted that for a moment she was genuinely moved by Ye Ling's words.
But... Ye Jintang sighed softly. Even if things had changed, this was still a book.
She had promised the original owner that she would clear Ye He's name and make those people in the Marquis's mansion pay the price they deserved.
However, Ye He is currently missing, and Jiang Mubai and Ye Jintang are unable to make a direct move because they are carrying the so-called luck.
Once these things are completely settled, she will likely leave.
Then, Ye Ling...
Thinking about this possibility made Ye Jintang feel depressed.
She turned her face away, no longer looking at Ye Ling. "Your Highness is right, we have a cooperative relationship."
"Therefore, no matter what happens, I will heal you."
Ye Jintang earnestly assured him.
Ye Ling responded softly; he could sense that Ye Jintang's emotions had clearly fluctuated just a moment ago.
But things quickly returned to calm, which doesn't mean she has a place in Ye Jintang's heart.
Even if it's just a collaboration.
Despite his disappointment, Ye Ling quickly cheered himself up. Even the slightest glimmer of hope was extremely precious to him.
Just then, a violent coughing sound came from outside.
Immediately afterwards, Green Lotus's voice came from outside, "Miss, Jiang Yuan has woken up."
Ye Jintang responded softly. She had just helped Jiang Yuan stabilize his condition before going into the house.
The fact that he has woken up means that he has stabilized.
"Jiang Yuan?"
Ye Ling looked surprised upon hearing the name.
"That Deputy General Jiang who used to serve General Ye?"
Ye Ling asked Ye Jintang.
Ye Jintang nodded and explained the situation to Ye Ling, "I received news that Jiang Yuan was seriously injured, so I took Lü He and Da Bai with me to a small alley."
"But I didn't expect there to be a small path in the alley. When we got out, we found this place."
That path was extremely secluded; it would have been very difficult to find an opportunity without the white cat leading the way.
Jiang Yuan is now lucid, and she has quite a few questions about him.
In response, Ye Jintang said to Ye Ling, "Your condition has just stabilized, so rest here for now. I'll go see Jiang Yuan first."
"I will go with you."
Ye Ling got up, intending to go with Ye Jintang.
Ye Jintang hesitated, her gaze falling on Ye Ling, "But what about your current situation..."
At this point, Ye Jintang was still somewhat uneasy.
"You just said that the situation has stabilized, and besides, we still have you, Miss Ye."
After hearing this, Ye Jintang stopped trying to stop them, and the two walked out of the house one after the other.
When Leng Feng, who was waiting outside, saw Ye Ling come out, he hurried forward.
"Your Highness, your injury...?" Leng Feng asked with concern.
"He is out of danger."
Leng Feng breathed a sigh of relief, then bowed in Ye Jintang's direction and said, "Thank you, Miss Ye."
"There's no need for that. Now that I'm here, I won't just stand by and watch someone get into trouble in front of me."
After saying that, Ye Jintang went to where Jiang Yuan was.
"Who are you? Why am I here? Let me leave!"
There was a guard on each of Jiang Yuan's left and right sides, who would hold him down if he tried to resist.
As someone approached, Jiang Yuan suddenly shouted loudly.
"Green Lotus, what's going on?"
Ye Jintang looked at Lühe standing to the side and asked her a question.
Green Lotus approached Ye Jintang, looking slightly hesitant.
“Miss, it’s been like this ever since Jiang Yuan woke up. At first, he tried to attack us, but thanks to the intervention of Guard Leng and the others.”
"From my observation, Jiang Yuan doesn't seem to recognize us anymore."
"Don't you recognize me?"
Ye Jintang narrowed his eyes slightly.
"So he has amnesia."
Originally, she wanted to find out some other clues through Jiang Yuan, but now that he has amnesia, she can only wait for him to remember on his own.
Woof!
Big White wagged its tail and barked.
[Woman, Jiang Yuan is probably affected by evil energy. Don't you have that bead?]
These words served as a reminder to Ye Jintang.
Even if we want to help Jiang Yuan regain his memories, now is not the time. Let's take him back first.
Thinking of this, Ye Jintang looked in Ye Ling's direction.
"Your Highness, now that the situation here has stabilized, I should return."
"I will give it to you."
After Ye Ling made the suggestion, Ye Jintang did not refuse. As for Jiang Yuan, he would be escorted by other guards.
On the carriage.
Seeing that Ye Ling's gaze was fixed on her, Ye Jintang was puzzled.
Is there something on my face?
"Things haven't been peaceful in the city lately."
After a long silence, Ye Ling slowly spoke.
"You mean..."
Faced with Ye Jintang's question, Ye Ling spoke again.
"Didn't you ask me earlier why I was injured and why my Soul Devouring ability was activated?"
"One of the reasons is the evil energy."
"Ye Jintang, I know you are capable, but I do not want you to take on all the responsibilities yourself."
Upon hearing Ye Ling's words, Ye Jintang was taken aback.
More importantly, she could clearly sense a hidden meaning in the man's words.
During the time Ye Ling was not seen, some other things happened.
Ye Jintang revealed a meaningful expression.
"Your Highness, since we've already come this far, why not explain things more clearly?"
"These past few days, the Imperial Advisor has emerged from seclusion and predicted that a catastrophe that will destroy the fate of the nation will befall the capital."
When Ye Jintang asked her, Ye Ling still chose to answer.
"A catastrophe that would destroy the nation's destiny..."
Ye Jintang muttered to himself.
Her voice sounds a bit like...
Compared to this so-called disaster, Ye Jintang became interested in the national advisor mentioned by Ye Ling.
He then asked Ye Ling, "May I ask Your Highness, who is this Imperial Advisor?"
"You really don't know?"
Ye Ling was somewhat taken aback when she heard Ye Jintang's question.
Ye Jintang frowned and asked Ye Ling in return.
"Should I know?"
For a fleeting moment, Ye Jintang felt that everything Ye Ling mentioned was closely related to her.
Ye Ling quickly regained her composure and then explained to Ye Jintang.
"This imperial advisor, like you, is knowledgeable in esoteric arts and can even predict celestial phenomena, turning misfortune into good fortune. Do you remember the first time we met in the valley?"
Ye Jintang nodded.
"At that time, the Imperial Preceptor was in seclusion, and before he went into seclusion, he left a brocade pouch and asked someone to deliver it to me."
"The note left in the brocade pouch instructed me to go to that valley."
