The final chapter: The two lovers stay together until their return (3)
Three days later, standing in the familiar port, Yin Yin seemed excited and energetic, which made Wang Ye and Xue Han feel a little relieved.
"Where are we going?" Not far behind Yin Yin, Xue Han finally asked the question that concerned him.
Wang Ye murmured in a low voice: "A place of beginning and end."
Xue Han turned his head to look at Wang Ye in confusion. He didn't know much about what Wang Ye said, or could say that he couldn't understand it at all. But this was not surprising. Wang Ye always knew more than him, and knew more about things that he didn't know. He didn't expect Wang Ye to tell him the reason. All he could do now was to take one step at a time. When he turned around to look at Yin Yin, a white figure draped a white wholesale cap on Yin Yin's slender shoulders.
"Thank you." Yin Yin turned her head and smiled at Feng Qinghan who was standing beside her. Her smile was no longer forced like before, nor did it contain that faint sadness. Instead, it was as bright and dazzling as the sunshine after the ice and snow.
"It's windy here, and you've just started to feel better. You might catch a cold." Feng Qinghan liked Yin Yin's smile very much. Not only her expression, but also her tone was softer than before, especially her deep eyes that seemed to be able to tolerate everything.
Yin Yin smiled and said: "You think I am too weak. I know my own body very well."
Hearing Yinyin's rare unyielding tone, Feng Qinghan felt very happy, the corners of his mouth curled up a little more, and he said softly: "Yes, you know, but after all, your injury has not healed yet, aren't you afraid of sequelae?"
Feng Qinghan couldn't help but put pressure on Yinyin with words. If it wasn't for his gentle tone, which made people feel like spring breeze, but the words were also more serious, how could Yinyin not listen to these words? But Yinyin just smiled and stopped talking. To be honest, Yinyin's condition is indeed much better than before. She must thank Feng Qinghan for this. If Feng Qinghan hadn't brought the panacea, the effect would not be so significant. Thinking of this, Yinyin was extremely grateful to Feng Qinghan in her heart, but she knew that Feng Qinghan would definitely not want to hear her thank you, so she could only thank him in her heart.
"There's still some time before we set sail. How about going to eat something to replenish your energy first? I just brought some exquisite pastries from somewhere else, would you like to try them?" Feng Qinghan could see that Yin Yin's words were self-evident, so he didn't say much, but just showed more concern for Yin Yin's health.
Yin Yin nodded readily: "Yeah."
Just like that, Yin Yin walked towards the house beside in Feng Qinghan's gentle embrace. From Yin Yin's profile, Xue Han saw a smile he had never seen before, and suddenly an inexplicable feeling ignited in his heart. As for Wang Ye, he just watched the two people walk into the house in silence.
At dusk, two people were standing at the bow of the sailing ship, one was Feng Qinghan and the other was Wang Ye.
"Maybe I don't have the authority to ask this, but I still want to know, who is the person who tried to assassinate King Zhenhou? Or what is your purpose?" As for anything unexpected except Yin Yin, Wang Ye remained vigilant towards Feng Qinghan and did not dare to relax at all.
"If I say that's not what I meant, would you believe it?" Feng Qinghan answered calmly.
Wang Ye remained silent. He couldn't believe Feng Qinghan, but he couldn't help but believe it. He couldn't describe his feelings, so he simply remained silent.
Feng Qinghan finished jumping into the distance and said indifferently: "Believe it or not, I really don't know about this matter, and there is no reason to kill him, right?"
"Do you need a reason to kill someone?" Wang Ye replied bluntly. For some reason, even though he knew that Feng Qinghan might be telling the truth, Wang Ye felt that there was no need to accommodate him at this point. It would be more accurate to say that he relaxed his vigilance, because Feng Qinghan was an elusive person from the beginning to the end.
"You're right, there is really no need for that, because I can't find any reason not to kill him either." Feng Qinghan was not moved by Wang Ye's words at all. Instead, he further explained his words and actions.
"Hmph!" Wang Ye chuckled, not sure whether he was being sarcastic or self-deprecating.
Ignoring Wang Ye's attitude, Feng Qinghan said: "Anyway, whether you believe it or not doesn't matter at all. I have no reason to explain anything to you."
"It doesn't matter. But no matter what, I may not be sure about other things, but if it concerns the princess, I will believe it."
Wang Ye's words, which were almost a confession, made Feng Qinghan smile. He had already noticed this, but had never confirmed it. Now, hearing it from Wang Ye's mouth with his own ears, he felt it was natural .
Ignoring Feng Qinghan's silent smile and his attitude that seemed to understand everything, Wang Ye just smiled and asked seriously: "You are the one who manipulated the Wu army to attack the Xu State, right?"
Feng Qinghan raised his eyebrows slightly at this sudden question, turned his head and looked at Wang Ye without denying it, hoping to hear his further explanation or clarification?
"I've heard that the royal family of Xu State has a flower called 'White Snow Lotus'. The color and shape of the flower are very strange. It can be used as a poison or as a panacea, depending on how it is used. But this flower has only appeared twice from ancient times to the present. The results brought about by both times can be described as shocking. However, these have not been recorded, and only a few people know about it. How did you know of its existence?" Wang Ye asked.
Feng Qinghan replied disapprovingly: "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself. As long as something exists, it is impossible for it not to be known. The key is whether someone digs it up. I admit that the purpose of my attack on Xu State is to obtain the 'White Snow Lotus'. After all, such a secret and rare thing is not so easy to find, so I can only use the invasion of the army to disrupt those who know about it, so that they can move it or protect it. Only in this way can we have a chance to know its whereabouts, but I am very curious, how did you know it?"
Wang Ye did not answer. He could not tell how he felt when he learned the reason. He knew the reason why Feng Qinghan seized the Snow Lotus, so he did not know whether to blame or thank him. Also, if he knew it from the beginning, would he or Zhao Ziheng send troops to stop it? This answer was meaningless now. Whether it was yes or no, it was already in the past. What was important was the present and the future.
