Chapter 64: Move with the Wind (1)
Because of Zhou Yan's unexpected behavior, Yin Yin forgot the original purpose. If Xiuying hadn't regained her senses and reminded her, she might have completely forgotten the purpose of calling Zhou Yan here. Yin Yin's purpose was very simple, that is, she wanted to invite Zhou Yan to dinner. The meals were all prepared by her, as a thank you for his various services over the years. However, due to the previous hesitation, the thank-you banquet did not meet the expectations and ended hastily. Zhou Yan was very happy for this thank-you banquet. Even though he knew it was a thank-you banquet, he was happy for Yin Yin's action. Yin Yin didn't think it was that simple...
All night long, Yin Yin was shaken by Zhou Yan's piano playing, and the sound of the piano could not be erased from her mind; first it was Zhou Cheng, and then it was Zhou Yan. Yin Yin basically knew how deeply these two men loved her, but she could not predict to what extent, but she felt an inexplicable uneasiness. The more she knew how deeply the two brothers loved her, the more Yin Yin felt the uneasiness gradually approaching her. If she could choose one side, perhaps she would not have to worry so much, but the problem was that she could not choose either side!
The reason why she cannot can be said to be known or unknown. In short, Yin Yin knows that there is a very important person in the deepest part of her heart, but she doesn't know who that person is; however, in the incident at Tsushima Peak, Yin Yin felt a familiar feeling towards Feng Qinghan. Is he the person she has been trying to recall?
Looking up at the ethereal moonlight in the sky, Yin Yin's face was heavy and painful...
"Is that person you? ...Han——"
When Yin Yin uttered the name, her heart ached, which made her think that her guess was right. She unconsciously raised her hands to cover her heart, but her eyes were full of sadness...
The same world, the same sky.
In the territory of Feiyan State, which is filled with the aura of death, at a Zhao army garrison, most people had already fallen asleep, and only a few patrolling and guarding soldiers were still awake. On a hill above the garrison, it was clear that it was the king's tent. The lights in the tent were still on, showing that the people inside had not rested yet.
Zhao Ziheng, who was immersed in government affairs, suddenly raised his head, as if he could hear the voice of the person he missed far away. His originally calm heart suddenly felt anxious and uneasy. At this time, Wang Ye, who had just entered the tent, happened to see Zhao Ziheng's uneasy look, so he stepped forward...
"What's wrong?"
Zhao Ziheng did not give a direct answer to Wang Ye's question. Instead, he raised his hands and pinched his temples with his index finger and thumb.
"It's getting late, let's stop here for today."
"Don't worry about me, and you must be here for something, right?"
"I think it's okay to talk about it tomorrow. The most important thing now is for you to get some rest as soon as possible."
"Go ahead."
Zhao Ziheng simply ignored Wang Ye's persuasion and buried himself in government affairs again, and did not forget to ask Wang Ye to report the situation truthfully.
"...We just received a report from a spy that there is an outbreak of plague in a certain area of Guanzhou, Zhou Kingdom."
Since Wang Ye knew that Zhao Ziheng was unshakable, he had no choice but to tell the truth. As soon as he said it, Zhao Ziheng's hand holding the pen stopped halfway through writing, and he was stunned. Of course he knew that Yin Yin was now in Weicheng, Guanzhou. When he heard about the plague , he certainly could not remain indifferent. He put down the pen and looked up at Wang Ye.
"Xue Han should have completed the analysis, right?"
"Um."
"...Even if he harbors hatred towards Prince Jing, he should still help him, right?"
"That's right. After all, the King of Zhou is not a tyrant. Guanzhou is at least one of the important regions of the Zhou Kingdom. The unhappiness between him and the King of Jing should not make him abandon so many innocent lives."
Zhao Ziheng fell into deep thought. Of course he knew about this kind of thing, but why did he feel so uneasy?
"I think it's time. The envoys from various countries who are wagging their tails to ask Zhao for help should be very anxious now."
"…Then let's start acting according to the original plan."
It seemed that Zhao Ziheng and Wang Ye had already made some decision, and they showed a very calm attitude towards what was happening.
"I understand. I will make arrangements now. Your Majesty, please go to bed early."
"Um!"
Without any meaningless stay, he left after reporting what he was going to report. Before leaving, he did not forget to look at Zhao Ziheng for a while. He knew that Zhao Ziheng was worried. Wang Ye could guess the reason. There would be no other person besides Yinyin that Zhao Ziheng could be obsessed with, so this time would definitely not be an exception. He knew that Zhao Ziheng would never know about Yinyin's situation before he came to report it. He came to report as soon as he received the contact. Therefore, excluding this possibility, if we must say why Zhao Ziheng suddenly thought of Yinyin at this time, it must be the saying that "two people who love each other deeply, understand each other's heart", right? Judging from Zhao Ziheng's expression, he seemed very worried. Wang Ye had guessed what Zhao Ziheng would do next, and left with full expectations...
After Wang Ye left, Zhao Ziheng placed his elbows on the table, crossed his fingers, and leaned against his forehead, lost in thought...
"Shu'er——"
He hid it deep in his heart, always careful not to let others find out. Only when there was no one around, would he miss Yin Yin occasionally when he relaxed. However, this time was different from the past. He always felt that something would happen to Yin Yin, or something had already happened. He felt very uneasy about this. The uneasiness he felt in his heart before must have been a sign, right?
