Chapter 113 Contact (6)
After Xiuying left, Wang Ye's voice rang out again: "Why do you do this?"
Of course, Zhao Ziheng knew what Wang Ye was referring to, but he also answered as a matter of course: "I owe him this."
"Owe? I don't think so. There should be more methods, right?"
"But it is also true that I protected her, even though she is not the murderer."
As he said this, Zhao Ziheng's gaze shifted to Yin Yin again, as if he was stating something that was a matter of course.
How could Wang Ye not know? Although Yinyin was not the real murderer, Zhao Ziheng did have selfish motives, but he did not think that Yinyin should be handed over. Zhao Ziheng was right. Even if it was someone else , they should not hand over a scapegoat who was not the murderer. However, Zhao Ziheng did this just to compensate. It was compensation, because Yinyin was involved, and Zhao Ziheng would definitely pay some price for it. This was his duty as a lover.
"Well, you are not suitable to pursue such trivial matters. What do you think of the King of Refining today?"
Interrupting Wang Ye's topic, Zhao Ziheng calmly changed the subject.
Is it a small matter? Wang Ye felt bitter. Indeed, if it weren't for Yin Yin, Zhao Ziheng would not have chosen such an extreme way to compensate the other party. So it can be completely understood that Zhao Ziheng did this just for Yin Yin, that is, for his own selfish desires. It was a matter between the two of them. As an outsider, Wang Ye had no right to interfere. He shifted his attention slightly and quickly responded to Zhao Ziheng's words as follows.
"Even though it's a deadline, the change in King Lian seems too great. It's hard to imagine that person being like that. What's noteworthy is that, even without saying it explicitly, he seems to have repeatedly made that request regarding the relationship between Your Majesty and Miss Wang. It's as if he's asking Your Majesty about the relationship between You and Miss Wang."
"Do you think so?"
Obviously, Zhao Ziheng agreed very much with Wang Ye's analysis.
"There is no guarantee that the news of Miss Wang's being here will be leaked to King Lian, so I think what we need to pay attention to is whether King Lian found out about it himself or someone else revealed it to him."
Zhao Ziheng did not find it strange that Wang Ye would speculate like this. After all, there was someone behind this matter, so it would not be strange even if someone revealed it. Wang Ye just said it in a more tactful way. However, although he did not know how much Dongfang Yan knew, Zhao Ziheng could at least know from Dongfang Yan's words that he was trying his best to suppress it. As for whether it was anger or the truth, the only thing was that Dongfang Yan did not want the situation to get out of control. Knowing this, Zhao Ziheng was slightly relieved, which meant that there was still room for recovery.
Although Wang Ye and Zhao Ziheng were considering the same thing, they had completely different ideas. Wang Ye was certain that the relationship between the two countries would not become rigid because of this, because from the previous talks it could be seen that Dongfang Yan had been shaken. Dongfang Yan was not a tyrant, he knew his limits, and he knew how to distinguish right from wrong. Wang Ye could not easily let go of the fact that Dongfang Yan had stabbed Zhao Ziheng, but he could not deny Dongfang Yan's perseverance after the "deliberate" test. In short, the choice made by Zhao Ziheng happened to stabilize Dongfang Yan's mind that was bewitched by others. Even if Wang Ye was unwilling to admit this method, he believed that Zhao and Lian would definitely reconcile.
"Could it be related to the real murderer?"
“It’s hard to say.”
Zhao Ziheng stated his hypothesis and Wang Ye also gave an answer, which seemed natural, yet also seemed more complicated than imagined. Although it was just a guess, both of them seemed to have an answer.
[Holy City] A rest inn somewhere in the Refining Country.
Dongfang Yan, who had just returned to the room, clearly felt the presence of someone else in the room. He walked to the table unmoved and said: "Since you are here, why don't you show up?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a red figure walked out from behind the curtain. The veil covered half of her face, making it impossible to see her full appearance. However, even so, it was already known that she was the phantom spirit.
"As expected of the King of Refining, he is still so perceptive."
"No need for flattery."
Dongfang Yan's tone was filled with some unsatisfied anger, but for some reason, Huan Ling was unmoved and even disdainful. Then she smiled charmingly under her veil and said faintly: "It seems that King Zhao has not handed over the person?"
Dongfang Yan didn't say anything, but Huan Ling was very sure.
"It's really interesting. A princess of Lian State died, but Zhao State tried its best to protect the murderer. And King Lian can still tolerate it?"
The phantom voice sounded Dongfang Yan was naturally angry when he heard it.
"Alas, the poor princess died in a foreign land, and her father was unmoved."
"Shut up!!"
After repeated provocations, Dongfang Yan finally interrupted in anger, but Huan Ling remained unmoved and continued: "Am I wrong? It is obvious that the King of Zhao intends to protect you, but you are unmoved. I guess even if the princess is still alive, she will not forgive you, right? Or are you simply afraid of the King of Zhao? Afraid of the State of Zhao? Ha, I never knew that the King of Lian, who dominates one side, would be afraid."
"Didn't you hear me telling you to shut up?"
Who has ever seen Dongfang Yan full of anger ? And the one who angered him was actually a person of unknown origin. If he could, he would have killed the person in front of him long ago, but for some reason, Zhao Ziheng's expression today always appeared in his mind; Dongfang Yan was not afraid of death, and wanted to fight with Zhao State more than once for the death of his daughter, but every time, as long as he met Zhao Ziheng, this arrogance would be inexplicably suppressed. For some reason, Zhao Ziheng's words always had an inexplicable persuasiveness, so Dongfang Yan believed every word he said, especially today.
Dongfang Yan was very clear-headed at this time. Every word of Zhao Ziheng kept replaying in his mind. Looking at the man of unknown origin in front of him, he gradually had some ideas. Before, because of the appearance of the phantom in front of him, his thinking was disturbed. In fact, at the beginning, Dongfang Yan was still angry at Zhao Ziheng's behavior of sheltering him. It was not until he stabbed him with the sword Zhao Ziheng gave him that Dongfang Yan completely calmed down and thought that his rationality was just because of the sudden appearance of the person in front of him. He did not realize such a simple reason until now.
