Chapter Eighty-Seven: Wei Jinghong Decides to Leave
Zhuo Yu looked towards the door when he heard the sound and saw Yu Chi Jin standing at the door with a blue face.
"Why did you come out now, your body hasn't recovered yet." Zhuo Yu said.
She saw that Yu Chi Jin's face was not good, and she thought that she was not feeling well, so she didn't think much about it at all.
"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, so I won't bother you for now." Yu Chi Jin said coldly.
He didn't know why, he just wanted to see Zhuo Yu very much, so he came over, but he didn't expect to see this kind of scene as soon as he entered the door.
"Zhuo Yu, if Yu Chi Jin knew that you were his daughter, what would be his reaction?" Qiao Yuan asked.
"I guess he will expose me immediately and then set himself up as king." Zhuo Yu said seriously.
She also once thought about how Yu Chijin would feel about herself if she recovered her daughter's body. With Wei Chi Jin's temper, he will definitely stay away from himself and immediately alienate himself.
Qiao Yu'an didn't think so, he could feel that some of Yu Chi Jin's feelings towards Zhuo Yu were different. Every time at a critical moment, Yu Chi Jin came to save her regardless of his life, which was already beyond the distance of ordinary monarchs and ministers.
Qiao Yuan didn't want to tell Zhuo Yu what he thought, after all, he was also selfish.
"Let's not talk about this yet, Zhuo Yu, this time we can go straight to the den, the people of Jiangnan are very grateful, you are too powerful." Qiao Yu'an hurriedly changed the subject.
"It's still thanks to Yu Chi Jin, otherwise I would have died!" Zhuo Yu said.
Qiao Yuan was a little jealous of Yu Chi Jin now, but he didn't want to admit it.
After living here for a few days, it's time to go back. But Zhuo Yu always felt that Wei Jinghong was a little speechless during this time, and she was very unhappy all day, so the night before leaving, she pulled Wei Jinghong to drink.
"Your Majesty, why did you remember to drink with me?" Wei Jinghong said curiously.
"I see that you are tired during this time, so I will have a good chat with you, by the way, just call me Zhuo Yu now." Zhuo Yu said with a smile.
After a few glasses of wine, Wei Jinghong didn't have the feeling of vigilance at the beginning, so he boldly said his thoughts,
"Zhuo Yu, don't hide it, I want to retire from the rivers and lakes, and I don't want to stay in this officialdom."
"It turns out that you are depressed during this time because of this reason." Zhuo Yu said.
Wei Jinghong didn't expect Zhuo Yu to pay so much attention to himself, and he was a little embarrassed for a while.
"When I was a reckless man, I was very poor, but I was very free. There is no open and secret fighting in the officialdom, if you want to help the people, just take action directly, without thinking about the consequences. Wei Jinghong paused and continued:
"At the beginning, I promised you to be an official, but I was really unconvinced, and I also felt that it would be good for the people to do so. But these days, I have gradually grown tired of the flattery of officialdom. My original intention is very simple, I always want to help people live a good life, but I don't want to be bound like this, can you understand? Wei said in embarrassment.
Zhuo Yu didn't speak in a hurry, but picked up a glass of wine and drank it directly. She picked up the empty glass, stared at the pattern on it, and said:
"From the beginning, I reused you, but in fact, I also had my own selfish intentions. At that time, the imperial court was in turmoil, and the Bai family was dominant, which posed a great threat to my position. More importantly, at that time, many people were living in dire straits, and they urgently needed a person with courage, courage, and no such complicated relationships in the officialdom. You were the best fit at that time. ”
Zhuo Yu put down the wine glass, looked into Wei Jinghong's eyes and continued:
"Thank you for helping me so much. If retiring now is what you want, I promise you. But you have to remember that I am always welcome to come back whenever you want. ”
Wei Jinghong was very moved, he used to have a great prejudice against Zhuo Yu, and he wanted to get rid of her if he had the opportunity. But later, as he got along, he gradually discovered that Zhuo Yu was a very smart, strategic, and thoughtful gentleman for the sake of the people.
He thought that Zhuo Yu would find a way to find an excuse not to let him go, but he didn't expect to respect him so much, which made Wei Jinghong a little flattered.
"Zhuo Yu, thank you!" Wei Jinghong said seriously, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and toasted Zhuo Yu with a glass of wine.
"Since you and I are so destined, why don't you become brothers?" Zhuo Yu said.
"Good!" Wei Jinghong said briskly.
Zhuo Yu never thought that she would be able to worship her brother when she came back, she admired Wei Jinghong very much, and she was reluctant to let Wei Jinghong retire like this, after all, it is rare for such an upright official to be seen. But she respects Wei Jinghong's choice very much, after all, officialdom is not suitable for him, and the rivers and lakes are where he should really be.
Wei Jinghong didn't care whether Zhuo Yu was the king of Wu or not, anyway, he never valued these, as long as the other party was worthy of making friends, then there would be no problem.
"Wei Jinghong, if you leave the officialdom in the future, you must take care of yourself." Zhuo Yu said with some concern.
"Don't worry, I also had a group of friends who were friends in life and death before I entered the palace, and I plan to go back to meet them this time, and everyone will still go to the rivers and lakes as before!" Wei Jinghong said.
"That's good, you must take care of yourself!" Zhuo Yu said. She was a little worried that Wei Jinghong would be lonely when she roamed the rivers and lakes by herself, but she was relieved to hear him say this.
"Zhuo Yu, I still have one more thing, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." Wei Jinghong hesitated.
"It's okay, it's all about being polite to me at this time." Zhuo Yu said with a big grin.
"I've always felt that the Lord Regent always seems to have different feelings about you...... Wei Jinghong said.
"He is not an ordinary gentleman to you, I can feel that you are different to him. But the regent is not like a person with a dragon and yang fetish, in short, it is very strange. ”
Zhuo Yu heard Wei Jinghong say this, and to be honest, he was a little happy in his heart. If Wei Chi Jin's feelings for him are different, is it the same as his feelings for him? Zhuo Yu's mind was a little messy for a while.
"Of course, this is my own guess, and you still know best what the specific situation is." Wei Jinghong added.
This seems to be a secret indication that they really have something.
"No, no, you misunderstood, Yu Chijin squeezes me every day, and he still has a cold face, how is it possible!" Zhuo Yu hurriedly denied it.
Wei Jinghong smiled and didn't say anything. It feels so good now, I don't have to think too much about it.
The two of you drank one by one, Zhuo Yu's amount of wine was already poor, and he poured it directly after a while.
Wei Jinghong smiled and shook his head, as if every time he pulled her to drink, she would get drunk first.
Just as Wei Jinghong was about to send Zhuo Yu into the room, Wei Chijin came over and said quietly:
"Master Wei has worked hard for several days, so let's come."
