She transmigrated into a widow and farmed to raise vests.

Qin Yu naturally couldn't take credit for it, so he could only say that the credit belonged to both of them.

"My lords, I'm sure you haven't come to me to seek credit. Why don't you just tell me what you want?"

Liu Zheng also smiled.

"Young Master Qin is no ordinary person, so I will speak the truth!"

"This time, it's not us looking for you, Young Master Qin; it's the current emperor who's looking for you."

"His Majesty knows about these things, and you deserve credit for them. He wishes to meet you!"

After Liu Zheng finished speaking, he observed Qin Yu's expression.

Qin Yu, however, remained indifferent.

There wasn't much variation in facial expressions.

He immediately understood that this person was no ordinary person.

Who could hear someone not excited about meeting the emperor?

"What does Young Master Qin think?"

Liu Zheng adopted a very humble posture, waiting for Qin Yu's reply.

It wasn't just Liu Zheng.

On the other side, Zhao Lin, who remained silent but had a broad smile on his face, also cast an expectant glance.

They couldn't wait for Qin Yu to agree right now.

But Qin Yu's answer was clearly going to disappoint the two of them.

"It is indeed rare to have the honor of meeting Your Majesty, but I cannot agree!"

Qin Yu didn't want to go, nor was he willing to go.

There are still so many things to do before this trip to see the emperor.

She's been away on a long trip, what will her son do if he misses her?

Most importantly, she is now a man, and the journey ahead is long and arduous.

If he were to appear before the emperor and be exposed, he would be accused of deceiving the emperor.

That is courting death.

Therefore, she cannot flaunt herself in front of the emperor.

"what?"

"Young Master Qin, this is no small matter!"

Clearly, neither of them expected Qin Yu to refuse.

He immediately began to persuade her.

"Young Master Qin, you should consider this matter carefully. Meeting the Emperor might even give you the opportunity to become an official."

"This is an opportunity that ordinary people might not get in several lifetimes. You can't be so hasty!"

Wang Xin, who was present, listened to what the others were saying and became very curious about the people in front of her.

She kept glancing at him tentatively.

However, with so many people present, they couldn't keep staring at him indefinitely.

It's just occasional observation.

He was somewhat surprised to hear that the young master Qin was unwilling to see the emperor.

It's something he would never even dare to dream of in his life, so why would he refuse so easily?

"My lords, I understand your thoughts, but I know my own place in the world."

"Besides, I have no intention of becoming an official. I'm just telling you what I know. Anyone else would have done the same!"

To put it bluntly, they simply didn't want to go; they didn't want to go, and they couldn't go to the imperial court.

All she wanted was to live a normal life.

"Young Master Qin, even though you're not in officialdom, everything you do benefits the country and its people. Just take the waterwheels you've made, for example. They would be a great thing in any court. It's understandable that the Emperor wants to summon you, after all, you are a talented person!"

"If you are unwilling, this matter may be difficult to resolve!"

Liu Zheng was also in a dilemma.

"What do you mean?"

Qin Yu was puzzled. Could they possibly tie him up?

"Young Master Qin, it's good that you don't ask for anything in return, but now we're all in this together. You know us inside and out, but... Young Master Qin, you're elusive, and we don't know much about you!"

Liu Zheng had many concerns.

If they can always find him, that would be fine.

Even if he doesn't go, they can feel more at ease.

The problem is that they don't even know where this person lives.

He can be allied with them now, but if a great Yao were to emerge one day, he would similarly aid enemy states.

These are things they cannot see or even imagine.

In order to prevent him from going to neighboring countries, we must also prevent him from leaving the country.

Even if he doesn't go to see the emperor, he still needs to let them know his whereabouts!

“We don’t even know where you live. Once Young Master Qin walks out of this door, we’ll have nowhere to find you!”

After Liu Zheng's explanation, Qin Yu finally understood what he meant.

Sure enough, Liu Zheng continued speaking.

"For our mutual benefit, I think it's necessary for Young Master Qin to stay at my residence! This will facilitate our continued cooperation in the future."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu felt a chill run down his spine, and his lips curled into a clear refusal.

But they can't show it.

"Lord Liu, please don't take offense. I understand what you mean."

"Just like you said, I have such abilities, so naturally I'm afraid someone might try to harm me or win me over. I don't like officialdom, so naturally I won't get involved!"

What she meant was simple.

She won't go to anyone who comes to her, nor will she give advice to others!

"So I will keep my whereabouts hidden from everyone!"

Qin Yu gave a perfect explanation, emphasizing that he couldn't reveal his whereabouts.

Liu Zheng was clearly not a very easy person to talk to.

“Young Master Qin, this is only a temporary measure. After all, His Majesty has never met you, so he cannot be sure that you will not defect to another country.”

"I'm willing to believe you, but since you're so elusive and I can't keep track of your whereabouts, I can't guarantee that you're not doing something detrimental to Da Yao!"

That's a very serious statement.

The expressions of everyone present changed.

Even Qin Yu was stunned, and was somewhat angered by these words.

"Lord Liu, are you saying that I also told the enemy country about making waterwheels? Lord Liu, I am a man of the Great Yao Dynasty. Doing so would be treason. Do you think I would do that?"

Zhao Lin noticed that Young Master Qin looked unwell.

But he also knew that Liu Zheng didn't really distrust him.

He immediately stood up and laughed awkwardly.

"Young Master Qin, Lord Liu didn't mean that, please don't misunderstand!"

She looked at Young Master Qin with a helpless expression.

"Perhaps Young Master Qin is unaware of the importance of his idea to the court, and even to our Great Yao. Lord Liu's actions were truly out of necessity."

"Young Master Qin, we don't mean to make things difficult for you. After all, a talent like yours will be retained wherever you go!"

Zhao Lin seemed to be offering her a way out, but in reality, he was worried about whether she would actually do it.

Although Qin Yu was angry, he remained rational.

They won't be swayed by a few words from others.

"Don't test me. Even if I don't tell you, someone will do these things. It's just a matter of time."

"I simply dislike being constrained and having to get others' approval for everything I do. If you doubt my loyalty, now that this is over, we need not associate with each other anymore!"

Anyway, everything is over, and I was originally planning to do something else.

But now it seems she's a little hesitant!

"Young Master Qin, there's no need for this. We have no doubt about your loyalty!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lin immediately stopped him.

He explained repeatedly.

"We just feel that we have no direction in searching for Young Master Qin. Why don't you stay at the prefectural government office for the time being? That way we can find you in time if anything happens!"

Liu Zheng also stood up, his expression sincere.

"Young Master Qin, based on the excellent results you've achieved, we won't distrust you."
