Yung Heng could see Meng Jingyan and Song Yuan, so naturally, they could see him as well.
Meng Jingyan just happened to see Song Yuan, so he couldn't help but have the urge to confide in her. As soon as he guessed that she had a boyfriend, he completely stopped thinking about it. He was an upright person and disdained doing things that crossed the bottom line of morality. He would never covet someone else's girlfriend. Now that he saw Song Yuan's boyfriend, he was flustered and also felt guilty. After all, he had asked her out before. He didn't want to be misunderstood by others as that kind of person, so he quickly got up and said to Song Yuan, "Miss Song, I'm sorry for wasting your time."
Although Song Yuan wasn't clear about Meng Jingyan's inner thoughts, she could roughly guess what he was thinking when she saw his bewildered expression and how he looked like he had been caught red-handed.
In fact, Song Yuan was generally too lazy to explain this kind of thing. After all, she didn't have much interaction with Dr. Meng. But when she saw this upright and elegant doctor's expression as if he had done something unforgivable, she thought for a moment. Then, under Yung Heng's intense gaze, she said softly, "Dr. Meng, don't misunderstand. He's really just my friend." She paused and thought of his dedication to her grandfather during this period of time. Her tone softened and she lowered her voice, "Also, I think you've done your duty as a doctor. That person probably doesn't regret it. Just like you said, everyone's desire to live is very strong. At that time, even if you guard yourself to death every day, he will still find an opportunity."
Meng Jingyan looked absent-minded and then asked, "Really?"
"Although it doesn't seem appropriate for me to say this, that person and the family members who bought the medicine and asked for the injection are all adults. They may not be unaware of the consequences. Now, do they have any intention of causing trouble? "
"No." Dr. Meng shook his head. "His daughter has been thanking me."
"I think his family has accepted this ending. Perhaps, they have already thought of it from the beginning."
Dr. Meng lowered his head. When he raised his head again, he forced a smile and said, "That's what my colleagues and leaders said as well. It's just that I tend to overthink things. Now that I've heard what you said, I feel much better. Thank you. "
"I still have something to do in the inpatient department. I have to go and take care of it." Dr. Meng paused. "Miss Song, I'll go up first. Do you need me to explain to your friend?"
Song Yuan shook his head and glanced at a certain someone standing not far away with a stiff posture.
Meng Jingyan smiled at Yung Heng as a greeting and then walked to the elevator.
After Meng Jingyan left, Yung Heng slowly walked in front of her. Seeing that she was sitting, he also sat down. However, he did not sit where Meng Jingyan had just sat.
The two of them did not speak at first. Yung Heng turned his head to look at her and saw that she was staring at the floor in a daze.
"Rong Ting said that you will feel uncomfortable if you don't remove your makeup at night. He asked me to bring some daily necessities for you." Yung Heng handed her a paper bag.
Song Yuan took it and said thank you in a low voice.
He used to dislike this side of her the most. She always had nothing to say to him and was always silent. It was nothing like her cheerful self in the past.
He always thought that she was silently resisting him.
However, in the years after she disappeared, he missed her very much. He always thought that as long as she was still around, even if she never spoke to him again, he would still be happy.
"Rong Ting said that you are used to drinking milk at night." He gave her her thermos. "The temperature should be just right."
Although he used Rong Ting as an excuse, Song Yuan knew that this was the result of his efforts. If he didn't want to do it, then no one could force him. She felt a little helpless. He had always been high and mighty. There were some words that she didn't want to say too clearly because she knew that he was a person who cared about his face. Or rather, he was the kind of person who didn't accept rejection. She also knew that with his intelligence, even if she didn't say anything, he would definitely know her determination.
After so many years, he was still the same as before.
"Actually, you don't have to be like this." Song Yuan said softly. In such a quiet night, she couldn't help but speak gently. "After so many years, you understand me and I understand you. You definitely understand what I think in my heart."
They used to have the most intimate relationship. When he frowned, when the corners of his lips curled up, she had seen it all.
"I once told you that I hate corrupt officials the most. After I took the throne, I punished many officials who plundered the people's wealth but didn't do anything good for the people."
"What my father left me was a mess. The treasury was empty, and the front line was constantly at war. Not long after you left, the war was over. Decades of stability were guaranteed, and the people finally had the opportunity to recuperate. "
"Along the way, we encountered many obstacles and weathered many storms. Fortunately, everything is slowly getting better."
Hearing Yung Heng talk about these things, Song Yuan also smiled. "That's very good."
"Don't you have anything you want to ask?" Yung Heng looked at her. "Don't you want to ask those people you care about what happened later?"
Song Yuan lowered her head and held the thermos with both hands. After a long while, she slowly asked, "How are my parents?"
"The general said that since the day Madam married him, she hasn't had a good day. She's always on edge. He once promised her that he would take her to see what the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers protected by the Meng family looked like. I sent a group of guards to secretly protect them. Don't misunderstand. It's not meant to monitor, it's just protection."
Song Yuan's eyes quietly reddened.
She knew that she shouldn't cry again, but hearing these words, she felt happy and sad.
She was happy because her parents should be in good health. She was sad because her parents first lost their son, then their daughter. It was the most painful thing for a white-haired person to send off their own child.
She didn't dare to ask how sad her parents were after she disappeared.
"What about Pei Lan?"
"Pei Lan has always been taking care of Rong Ting." Yung Heng explained, "I once wanted her to leave the palace, but she was unwilling. She said that she didn't feel at ease leaving Rong Ting's daily life to others."
Song Yuan choked with sobs and nodded, "It's been hard on her. It's been hard on her."
"When Rong Ting was two or three years old, he was extremely naughty. The Grand Tutor once complained in private that the Crown Prince was talented and intelligent, but more naughty than ordinary children. He often asked questions that the Grand Tutor couldn't answer. He even mocked the Grand Tutor for not being knowledgeable. It's been hard on the Grand Tutor. In order to be able to answer his questions, the Grand Tutor often studied until late at night. However, the two of them had a very good relationship. One year, the Grand Tutor fell ill. Rong Ting made a fuss about going out of the palace to visit him, so I agreed. "
"Rong Ting always secretly inquired about your affairs. No one in the palace dared to tell him. Only Pei Lan occasionally said a few words to him when she was pestered by him until she had no choice."
Yung Heng slowly talked about the interesting things about Rong Ting's childhood. Occasionally, Song Yuan would be amused.
Clearly, five years of time, when put together, it seemed that it was just those few things. In the end, she was absent from those few years.
In the end, Yung Heng talked about himself. He laughed at himself, "One year, I also became very ridiculous. Unexpectedly, like an emperor of the previous dynasty, I also wanted to pursue immortality. That year, the Prime Minister and the ministers were secretly worried about me. They were afraid that I would be addicted to medicine and ruin my own body. When I was young, I read the books of the previous dynasty and read the records of the previous dynasty's historians. At that time, I didn't understand. I only thought that the emperor was laughable. How could there be immortality in the world? Even if there was, what was the point of being immortal? Later, I understood. Perhaps I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to live long enough to reunite with the person in my heart. "
Song Yuan also laughed. As she laughed, she felt a little sad.
She looked at her hands. His words echoed in her ears. She gradually restrained the smile on her face, "Congratulations. You've become a good emperor. This is the blessing of the common people."
Yung Heng had heard such words many times. When he heard her say this, it was as if he had returned to the past. When he faced her, he couldn't hide his shyness.
"In the past, I blamed you and misunderstood you." Song Yuan lowered her head, "Later, I thought it through. I finally understood you. I also understood you. You have your ideals and ambitions. Just like you said, sitting in that chair, you have too many things that are not up to you. You can't sleep at night, afraid that the decisions you make will have an earth-shattering impact. I also understand my elder brother. "When she mentioned her elder brother, she was no longer as sad and sad as before." My elder brother is right. No one can truly stay out of things. If he has talent but can't use it, it will be his regret. As a descendant of the Meng family, he was born with the mission of protecting the country. Without the country, there is no home. "
Song Yuan laughed, "Actually, I think that the person who understands you the most should be my elder brother. The person who understands him the most should also be you. The two of you appreciate each other. I think that my elder brother doesn't regret it. He is willing to shed his blood for the country he loves."
Both of them fell silent.
Yung Heng's heart was very sour. Hearing her say that she understood him, he didn't know what to say.
Song Yuan stood up and turned her head to look at him, "Alright, you should go back early. Don't let Rong Ting stay alone for too long. He is also unfamiliar with the hotel room. I'm afraid that he will be afraid."
Yung Heng also stood up.
When they parted, he clearly saw that the corners of Song Yuan's eyes were red.
She walked towards the elevator, and he walked towards the door. They were two different directions.
***
Rong Ting was not very familiar with the bed, but the hotel bed was still a little soft for him. The smell on the quilt was also not familiar. He woke up in the middle of the night, only to find that he was alone in the bed. He didn't know where his imperial father had gone.
This was a suite. There was a large bed inside, and the outer compartment was equivalent to a study.
Rong Ting slipped out of bed. Because the room was covered with a thick carpet, he didn't wear shoes. He came to the bedroom door and looked towards the study. He just happened to see his imperial father sitting in front of the desk with a dazed expression.
It was now 3: 30 in the morning.
Could it be that his imperial father hadn't slept all this time? What was his imperial father thinking? quot;
