Chapter 42: Wine doesn’t make people drunk, people get drunk by themselves (3)
"What do you think of her, sir?"
"She is truly the most distinctive woman I have ever seen. Vulgar descriptions such as dancing gracefully and being very charming do not even describe her in the slightest. Moreover, she toasted me and remained indifferent when she saw me. This should not be related to amnesia, right?"
"Young Master, you mean—"
Canfeng was a little surprised. How could a woman remain unmoved by Feng Qinghan? That was really unprecedented .
Feng Qinghan just smiled without saying anything, his mind was full of Yin Yin's figure. The curve of the corners of his mouth deepened whenever he thought of Yin Yin. It's not that he was satisfied, but he seemed quite satisfied. This was the first time that Canfeng saw Feng Qinghan with such an expression. He couldn't predict how the situation would develop after this expression, but what would happen next would be very exciting to watch.
"Yin Yin——"
Feng Qinghan smiled even more deeply and picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in the glass. Canfeng, who was standing beside him, didn't want to disturb Feng Qinghan's interest at the moment, but: "Young Master——"
"Um?"
Canfeng breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Feng Qinghan was not displeased by his interference, so he continued: "News came from Zhao State, it seems that the plan was disturbed."
"so what?"
"Please give instructions, sir—"
Feng Qinghan put away the folding fan in his hand. The gentle smile on his face just now became cold and dull at this moment, which made Canfeng's heart tremble.
"Where's the person with the problem?"
"Yao has already severely punished me—"
"Severe punishment?"
In response to Feng Qinghan's question, Canfeng subconsciously remained silent. Feng Qinghan did not vent his anger on him, but simply poured wine into his own glass and watched the wine pouring from the jug into the glass. Feng Qinghan's eyes flashed with a chilling cold light. Even Canfeng could only remain silent at this moment...
"Notify Yao to come see me!"
"yes!"
Canfeng immediately responded to Feng Qinghan's words and took action. He knew that if he was a little negligent at this moment, he might be affected as well.
Unlike the leisurely drinking before, Feng Qinghan's attitude when drinking now became more frightening. He crossed paths with Canfeng who was leaving to execute orders. A subordinate hurriedly walked towards Feng Qinghan with a tray containing a letter. Canfeng turned around and looked at the hurried appearance of the subordinate. It seemed that good and bad things really came together. Tonight was another sleepless night...
"Sir, this is an urgent letter from Lord Canyun—"
Feng Qinghan didn't make a sound, nor did he react immediately. Instead, he finished the wine in the glass and slowly put it down. He raised his hand to pick up the letter on the tray in front of him, and slowly opened the letter to read it...
After lightly scanning the contents of the letter, Feng Qinghan placed the letter and its envelope back on the tray, then stood up from his seat and looked up at the moon in the sky that had just been covered by clouds. No one could see his expression clearly until the moon reappeared from the clouds. Feng Qinghan's eyes flashed with an extremely cold light...
Even though the subordinate who came behind to deliver the letter was unable to see Feng Qinghan's expression directly, as soon as he raised his head slightly and saw Feng Qinghan's back, he immediately lowered his head and dared not say a word, vaguely trembling and afraid.
Next, let’s switch the scene to Zhao Ziheng’s residence…
Zhao Ziheng had been drinking alone in the study room since he came back from the palace. He continued drinking even though he knew Wang Ye had come in. Wang Ye knew that he was drinking to keep quiet and believed that he also knew what had happened. He went to sit aside. Wang Ye did not attend the imperial banquet...
"I've heard everything—"
Sure enough, knowing that Wang Ye also knew why he was like this, Zhao Ziheng didn't say anything and just drank.
"Since Miss Wang didn't have any adverse reactions when she saw you, you should be happy—"
Wang Ye said so, but Zhao Ziheng didn't think so. Although what Wang Ye said was right, his most beloved person had completely forgotten him, so he couldn't possibly feel good. What else could he do except drink alone?
"Miss Wang's dancing style? I really miss it a little bit—"
Knowing that Yin Yin was dancing in front of people, Wang Ye couldn't help but want to see her again. He didn't regret not going, even though he could have seen her originally. There would definitely be opportunities in the future, so there was no need to rush, although he felt a little regretful.
Indeed, Zhao Ziheng was also very pleased to see Yin Yin's dancing. Nothing could make him happier than seeing Yin Yin and her beautiful dancing at the same time. But even so, it could not make up for the pain brought by not being able to recognize Yin Yin.
"Have you read the news from Zhao?"
After hearing what Wang Ye said, Zhao Ziheng shifted his gaze to the opened letter at hand. In fact, this could be said to be one of the reasons why Zhao Ziheng drank alone.
"What are you going to do?"
"I have already sent back the solution—"
Wang Ye could clearly feel the heaviness in Zhao Ziheng's tone.
"Although there is still time, it is almost the limit. I am afraid that Prime Minister Wang and General Zhao will not be able to hold out for long. As the king, you are still needed to take charge of the overall situation—"
How could Zhao Ziheng not know what Wang Ye meant? He drank the wine in one gulp and put it on the table, his expression hesitant. Wang Ye knew the reason, of course. Moreover, even if Zhao Ziheng went back now, as long as Yin Yin's problem was not solved, he would still have no intention of handling state affairs. It was because he knew that he wanted to help him; it was because he wanted to help him that he stayed...
"I want to know, if I can't be reunited with Shu'er because I am the king of a country, what will it change if I give up my position as the king of a country?"
"Everything is predetermined. The current situation was destined the moment you were born. No matter what decision you make, it will not change. It will end when you have experienced all of this. Before that, no matter how hard you try, you still can't change the ending, but you can avoid many trends that lead to tragedy."
"That means 'king' ?"
"Yes! Only the king can change and prevent unnecessary wars. You should know that the balance between the two great powers that maintained world peace that was broken not long ago cannot be restored so quickly. Just like Zhao's current situation may seem safe on the surface, but in fact, the forces in the dark are stirring up trouble for you to find the fuse. It's like treating the symptoms but not the root cause. If you don't completely cut off the source of the fuse, Zhao and the world will never be at peace again."
Every time, Wang Ye always gave Zhao Ziheng some advice about the world situation and political affairs at the right time, and Zhao Ziheng always listened. Could this be related to his work as a policeman in the 21st century? In any case, Wang Ye's words always reminded Zhao Ziheng of what he should do as a monarch, and these things were also things that could benefit others, so Zhao Ziheng had no reason not to listen.
