?
Ye Yiqing's injuries had recovered a lot. However, other than being able to see Cao Yu and his colleagues who came to discuss matters with him, he was still not allowed to get off the ground, let alone go to court.
"Zhao Yang, my wounds have already closed, there's no need for me to continue lying on the bed." Ye Yiqing said as he drank the stew Zhao Yang brought, "There's also this soup. I'm not young anymore, I won't be able to take such a tonic."
"How old are you? Why can't you take a tonic?" Zhao Yang said snappily. He looked to be around thirty years old. Don't think she didn't know that when she wasn't here, he would secretly practice boxing.
Ye Yiqing laughed out loud. "I could even be your father."
Zhao Yang's face darkened, "I don't have a father like you."
"Why can't I be your father? Am I that bad? "Ye Yiqing asked in amusement. His character wasn't bad and he wasn't bad looking, did she have to dislike him so much?
"You can't just can't!" Zhao Yang called out, throwing over a pair of shoes that she had prepared for him. She had never seen him as a father, he was the dream that she had dreamed of ever since she was a young girl, but he had never thought of her like that. He only saw her as an ordinary junior.
Ye Yiqing hadn't expected Zhao Yang's reaction to be so strong. He held the shoes she had thrown over, "I was just joking, why are you so angry?"
Zhao Yang's eyes were a bit red, "Can you just joke like that?"
Seeing her look like she was wronged, Ye Yiqing didn't know what to do. He had never coaxed a girl in both of his lives. Even with his previous wife, they had treated each other with respect. Now that Zhao Yang wasn't his daughter, he really didn't know what to do.
"That, Zhao Yang … … did I offend your father?" Ye Yiqing remembered that her Old Lord An had passed away many years ago, and there was only the old Wang Fei, who was her stepmother, in the residence. It was because she had no one to rely on that she was sent by the former Emperor to the Northern Underworld Kingdom for marriage.
Did he hit a sore spot in her heart?
Zhao Yang glared at him. This person was very smart in other areas, but in some areas, he was really a blockhead.
Ye Yiqing was confused by the glare.
"I'm going back." Zhao Yang snorted, turned around, and walked out.
He almost bumped into Cao Yu outside the door.
"Princess Zhao Yang …" Cao Yu cupped his hands in greeting, but he could only see the back of Zhao Yang's head.
He walked in, confused. "Teacher, has this student been coming to find you recently and made Zhao Yang Junzhu unhappy?"
Ye Yiqing said, "It's not that you made her unhappy, it's that I said something wrong."
"What did Teacher say wrong that would make Zhao Yang Junzhu angry with you?" He thought that with Zhao Yang's cold personality, she only treated his teacher differently.
"I said I was like her father … Sigh, I shouldn't have brought up her sad past. Her father passed away a long time ago," Ye Yiqing said helplessly.
Cao Yu stilled and then suddenly laughed out loud. "Teacher, this student knows why you made Zhao Yang Junzhu angry. It's not because of her father, but because of you."
Ye Yiqing looked at him doubtfully. "What do you mean by that?"
"Teacher, you really can't tell?" Cao Yu asked with a smile. "Zhao Yang Junzhu doesn't see you as a father."
"What do you mean?" Ye Yiqing stared.
This was the so-called bystander seeing things clearly.
Cao Yu held back his laughter and said, "This student thought that Zhao Yang Junzhu would become Teacher's wife."
Ye Yiqing stilled. "Brat, you dare to say such nonsense. You even dare to make things up about me?"
"Teacher, this student isn't speaking nonsense, and I'm not making things up about you. This student's eyes can see clearly that Zhao Yang Junzhu is so devoted to you. Isn't what she does the same as Teacher's wife? The way she looked at Teacher … was like how a student's wife would look at me. "Cao Yu had noticed this not long ago. At that time, he thought that Teacher knew about it, but now he realized that he didn't know anything at all.
"She takes care of me because Yao Yao entrusted her to me," Ye Yiqing said in a low voice. Thinking back to how Zhao Yang had taken care of him recently, it seemed that she was a bit too attentive.
Cao Yu asked in return, "What woman would stay in the room to watch over you every day? Even if Yao Yao entrusted her to her, as a widowed woman, she knows to avoid arousing suspicion. Why does she avoid arousing suspicion towards other men, but not you? "
Ye Yiqing was completely stunned. It seemed … like that was indeed the case.
Could it be that Zhao Yang really didn't treat him like an elder? Although he wasn't old, in this era, he was old enough to be her father. When did she have such feelings for him?
He thought back to the day when they were attacked on the street. She clearly could have stayed out of it, but she insisted on rushing in to save him. She said that she didn't get injured because she wanted to save him, but he knew that she had taken a knife for him …
"Teacher, you really couldn't tell, right?" Cao Yu asked with a smile.
Ye Yiqing's heart was in turmoil. He had always treated Zhao Yang as a junior and had never thought about it in this way. No, he was so much older than her. When did she start to like him?
When they were in the capital, she was only thirteen, right?
He suddenly remembered that when his daughter was thirteen, she was determined to marry Mo Rongzhan …
"You are not allowed to mention this again." Ye Yiqing looked at the shoes in his hands and suddenly felt like they were a hot potato. He hurriedly put them aside.
Cao Yu nodded with a smile. "Teacher, could Princess Zhao Yang be my teacher's wife?"
Ye Yiqing looked at him coldly, but his heart inexplicably tightened.
He remembered the results of the investigation that had just been delivered to him last night. It was about Zhao Yang's situation in the Dark North Kingdom. He had only taken a cursory look yesterday and felt that it wasn't easy for this little girl in the Dark North Kingdom. He wanted to wait for Yaoyao to come back before handing her over.
Now … he really wanted to take a look himself.
"Any news from Quicksand City?" Ye Yiqing asked lightly, temporarily suppressing the question of Zhao Yang in his heart.
Cao Yu said, "Wan Ziliang is missing. General Ye has captured their deputy general. She is Jin Xiong's daughter, the only female general in the Dark North Kingdom."
"Wan Ziliang is missing?" Ye Yiqing raised his eyebrows. "He couldn't take down Quicksand City and lost Xia Province. There must be something wrong with him suddenly losing news."
"Then what should we do next?" Cao Yu asked. Liu Wenxue had already been beheaded. Unlike the Wan family, the Liu family had been completely eradicated, except for the eldest prince who stayed in the palace. However, the Emperor had already placed the eldest prince under house arrest. He probably wouldn't have any future in this life.
Wan Ziliang was probably colluding with the Dark North Kingdom for the sake of Noble Wan's Third Prince.
"This time, the Emperor of the Dark North Kingdom made Wan Ziliang the commander-in-chief. Something must have happened to Jin Xiong. If there is no general to rely on, Wan Ziliang will still be able to survive in the Dark North Kingdom. However, he will probably make an immediate contribution to the Dark North Kingdom so that he can gain a foothold in the Dark North Kingdom," Ye Yiqing said in a low voice.
