Chapter 104: Something to be wary of (3)
"I think if you don't want to make someone worry, you should take care of your health first ."
Wang Ye's words made Zhao Ziheng's heart tremble. Of course he knew who Wang Ye was talking about. Perhaps he didn't expect Wang Ye to be so direct. Once he mentioned it, he couldn't help but think about it. Seeing Zhao Ziheng's reaction, Wang Ye knew that he had to give him some time, so he stood up and walked to the table to pour a cup of tea and then returned to the bed...
"Have some water."
Zhao Ziheng was indifferent to the tea handed to him by Wang Ye and was completely immersed in his own world.
"…I went to see her during the day."
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Ziheng reacted immediately. He trembled at first, then slowly turned to Wang Ye. Wang Ye sat down and drank tea by himself. Zhao Ziheng could only watch and wait for Wang Ye's next words...
The words had already been spoken. If he didn't say it, Zhao Ziheng would definitely feel uneasy. Wang Ye certainly wouldn't be pretentious or deliberately tease Zhao Ziheng's appetite. He just needed a little time to organize his next words. After drinking the tea and holding the empty cup in his hand, he said to Zhao Ziheng slowly: "From what Xiuying said, I guess she might have been shaken."
It is Wang Ye's character to get straight to the point. If it is political affairs, Zhao Ziheng may know, but when it comes to personal matters, especially about Yin Yin, Zhao Ziheng seems confused; the topic is cut into too quickly, without a beginning or an end, and he has no idea where to start. Zhao Ziheng can only stare at Wang Ye blankly, with some questions in his eyes, as if seeking an explanation.
"If I must say something, it's probably because I'm in a situation where I can't stop thinking about you, the dead queen, and Princess Quan."
Understanding what Zhao Ziheng meant, Wang Ye gave a brief narration. Zhao Ziheng knew what to say next without Wang Ye's words, because the two people mentioned were the pain in Zhao Ziheng's heart, especially Lin Wei. Zhao Ziheng slowly turned his head and looked away. He had never thought of hiding anything, and he had guessed more than once what Yin Yin's reaction would be when she knew it. Thinking about what he had said to Yin Yin in Weicheng before, what would Yin Yin think? Zhao Ziheng really could not forget Lin Wei, because he hurt her deeply, and she even died because of him. He could never make up for the hurt he caused Lin Wei in this lifetime, so of course he would not forget her; as for Ling Menghan, Zhao Ziheng just felt guilty about Ling Menghan. Not only did he use her for his own selfish reasons, he also arbitrarily arranged a marriage for her to another man, just as Ling Menghan had said, to control her future life. Zhao Ziheng had not forgotten the harsh words he had said to Ling Menghan. Although he believed that Zhao Ziyan could bring happiness to Ling Menghan, he could not hide his own sins. Zhao Ziheng still hasn't forgotten Ling Menghan's resentful cover-up at that time.
"Let's not talk about how she will react, but she and Princess Quan seem to get along very well. Given her personality, you should know better than me how she will feel after knowing Princess Quan's deeds. Anyway, you will have to face it sooner or later. I think it's better to let her know earlier. I'm afraid she has guessed that you are avoiding her. In my opinion, this matter has been a test for her so far. Don't you want to know too? Although she will be under some psychological pressure, I think it will be absolutely no problem if it's her. Believe in her, and believe in yourself, and have some confidence in your relationship."
Normal people would not say what Wang Ye said. The reason why Wang Ye could say this was not only because he knew the situation, but mainly because he had seen the expressions on Yin Yin and Zhao Ziheng's faces when they were together, the kind of feelings between them that no one could interfere with, the kind of feelings where each other only had each other in their eyes, a strong bond that would not be replaced or destroyed by anyone. Now that Yin Yin had taken the initiative to approach him, even if he had no memories or had not recovered his memories, Wang Ye believed that Yin Yin's behavior was based on the bond between them. Although the memories no longer existed, if it was something that was deeply engraved in the mind, even if it was forgotten, one would rely on instinct to pursue it. This was not a phenomenon that medicine could explain, at least not everyone could rely on this phenomenon. It would only be true when an unshakable bond was established between them. Yin Yin and Zhao Ziheng were the best examples, so Wang Ye firmly believed in this.
"Even if she won't forgive me, I won't have any complaints."
Zhao Ziheng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke. His tone was so weak and full of unconcealable sadness as if he was atonement. Wang Ye watched silently. He never thought that Zhao Ziheng had betrayed Yin Yin, so he did not need to atone. After all, Zhao Ziheng's identity made him irresistible. It was true that Zhao Ziheng could give up everything for Yin Yin, including identity, status and power. However, it was Wang Ye who pulled Zhao Ziheng to the real throne. If it was said that Zhao Ziheng betrayed Yin Yin because he embarked on the path of becoming a king, Wang Ye should be blamed. He knew Zhao Ziheng's pain better than anyone else. It was he who made Zhao Ziheng give up his own happiness that was within his reach, and at the same time made more people happy. So no one was qualified to resent this king, except Yin Yin.
As a king, Zhao Ziheng has no weaknesses in the eyes of others, but no one is perfect, and Zhao Ziheng is no exception. Zhao Ziheng does have a fatal weakness. Fortunately only a few people know this weakness. Under the current circumstances, Zhao Ziheng's choice to keep a distance from Yin Yin is completely correct. On the one hand, it can protect Yin Yin, and on the other hand, it will not expose his weaknesses and give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage.
